“Lulu was great in communicating and sent pictures to keep me up to date. Dogs seemed to really warm up to her. They are a bit anxious and she did a great job of making sure they had some activity outside to burn off some steam as well as cuddles to make them feel secure. We will definitely use her again and recommend her to others”
About: Pets are my specialty! I grew up with dogs, cats, lizards and birds so I have a ton of experience loving and caring for whatever animal you have at home. I have two dogs and a cat of my own and am comfortable with anxious, high-energy, and reactive dogs. I am home a majority of the time and I can be available at short notice and for any service you need. I can't wait to meet your best friend! I’m currently working part time, so I have lots of availability to play with your pets! I am available most days so don’t be afraid to book day of. I have attended multiple dog training courses and am experienced with handling dogs with a variety of temperaments. I am comfortable crating, playing, and running around with your pet!
About: Growing up and throughout high school, I was the go-to person in my neighborhood for pet sitting and house sitting, a role I've continued to enjoy while moving around the country. Now, having grown up with both cats and dogs. I have a lot of experience working with shy or anxious animals and helping them feel safe. I offer overnight pet care for one or more animals, which includes feeding, administering medications, playtime, walks (if requested), and giving lots of love and attention. I also handle waste removal. For shorter visits, I can stop by for potty breaks, playtime, or dog walks. I adjust walk length and pace based on your pet’s needs and am happy to accommodate any special requests. Before caring for your pet, please provide any important details like dietary restrictions, emergency contacts, preferred veterinary clinics, and whether your pet has insurance. Any additional instructions are always appreciated! I have a flexible work schedule, with most of my work shifts taking place in the mornings. This allows me to be available in the afternoons and evenings for pet sitting and house sitting, ensuring I can provide consistent care and attention to your pets when needed. ### Safety, Trust, and Environment **Safety:** Your pet's safety is my top priority. I have extensive experience working with animals, including shy or anxious pets, and am well-versed in handling various behaviors and situations. Whether it's administering medications or ensuring your home is secure, I take every step to create a safe and nurturing environment for your pets. I always follow any specific care instructions to ensure your pet is comfortable and healthy. **Trust:** I understand the importance of trust when it comes to pet care and house sitting. I have years of experience caring for pets in multiple locations across the country, and I’ve built long-standing relationships with neighbors and friends who trust me to care for their animals. You can count on me to respect your home and keep your pets well-cared-for as if they were my own. **Environment:** I strive to create a calm and stress-free environment for your pets while you’re away. Whether it’s maintaining their daily routine, offering extra playtime, or providing a quiet, comfortable space for rest, I cater to their unique needs. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and loved in their home environment, and I do everything possible to ensure their comfort.
“Highest praise and accolades to Sadie whom we recently hired to stay with our newly adopted rescue Elkie. We can’t find words to express how satisfied we are with the care and communication we experienced with Sadie. Before our booking date Sadie took it upon herself to visit with us to confirm that she would be a goof fit with our dog. On the day of our departure Sadie showed up early, well before the time we had requested. Our Elkie has a number of issues, the greatest of which is separation anxiety and having Sadie stay in our home to provide comfort and care was our number one priority. Sadie provided everything we had hoped for, and sent us regular updates that allowed us to enjoy our time away without any concern for the needs of our dog. Sadie is a caregiver whom you can trust with you pet and home for your time away. We will absolutely call on her again for future bookings when we have a need to leave our pet home. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Jonathan is the BEST! He always goes above and beyond with our Buddy. It is so comforting to know that while we are away, Buddy is in such good hands. We highly recommend Jonathan!!!”
“Caitlynn did a great job with our 3 pups! Our senior girl is on meds and wearing diapers due to kidney disease and Caitlynn was able to provide the advanced level of attention and care that she needs. We had been reluctant to go away at all, and it gave us such peace of mind that Caitlynn was comfortable with her medical needs.”
“Anna G. was attentive and amazing! She was on-time, communicative and sent some photos throughout her stay. I've already booked her for a future trip and am so glad I've found her!”
About: I've had pets in the past and love caring for them and playing with them. Grew up with a cat, had a dog and coserved a cat with my wife. Because we may move some time internationally, we haven't wanted to make a long term commitment, be we would love to be grandpetparents where we help out by babysitting while people need to travel pet free for a short time. I work full time but from home several days a week. My son, who loves animals will be around on days I am not at home. We would welcome any pets as part of the family. They can cuddle with us on the couch and play out in the yard or chill on our screened in porch. Unfortunately, we cant care forndigs for more than 5 or 6 days as we arent physically able to care for them.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 193 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across North Argyle. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred North Argyle walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in North Argyle maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in North Argyle choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
