“David makes our dogs feel safe and loved. They run to him as soon as they see him. He followed all our specific instructions and was very conscientious. He snuggled with them and played with them. We really appreciated how positive he was about staying with Belle and Rory. We would definitely use David again!”

“Bethany is hands down your go to person for the best dog care. She went above and beyond to help our senior frenchie . She kept us up to date on everything and cared for Layla like she was one of her own. Thank you!”


About: I am an experienced dog groomer who worked at Petline Grooming for 1.5 years. I have experience with puppies all the way up to senior dogs of all breeds and sizes of all temperaments/behaviors. I have lived with 3 dogs throughout my entire life. Since I was old enough to be independent, I was helping to feed and take out my dogs. More than that I love to make sure my dogs are properly enriched by taking them on daily walks and investing in new toys for them. I am an animal lover who would love to take care of your pets! I have lots of availability and plan on doing pet care full-time for the time being. I am available most weekdays and some weekends. I have access to a partially fenced in yard and multiple leashes and crates. At my house, I currently have a friendly dog who will keep your dog company. I am willing to take on any specific or special requests to ensure your pet is most cared for and loved properly!
“We can’t recommend Alexandria enough! Her first time sitting for us involved rain/snow and she was flexible with everything that comes with dogs and weather! She was very communicative and took great care of our dogs. Was a huge relief to know they were well taken care of and happy with her! We will defiantly book with Alexandria again!”

“Sheila was amazing on short notice. Her years of experience showed as she noticed my puppy Bia having some issues that should be addressed by a vet. She went above and beyond getting Bia checked out by our vet and administrating her meds to make her healthy again. Can't recommend Sheila enough.”

“Su is the best! She met me on very short notice to meet me and my pup. I felt instantly at ease with her. She was prompt , kept me updated and sent videos throughout the day. Cannot recommend her enough.”

“Cristel and Noemi are fantastic to hire to watch your dog. She is so friendly and personable. She’s also understandable about dogs and their behaviors. She was very patient and loving with my pup and I will absolutely hire Cristel again! So happy to have found her ☺️”

“Robert did great with our 2 Great Danes. He gave daily updates with pictures and was very responsive to all texts. He stuck to the dog’s schedule and made sure they were well taken care of while we were away. I definitely plan to use Robert again next time we go away!”

About: I’m not just a pet sitter—I’m your pet’s new best friend. What sets me apart is my genuine love for being around dogs and my natural ability to comfort and connect with them. Whether it’s a long walk through the park, a splash in the water, or simply sitting together for quiet companionship, I make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved. I believe exercise, play, and affection go hand-in-paw, and I bring all three to every visit. Your furry family member will get my full attention, plenty of tail-wagging adventures, and the kind of care I’d want for my own pets. I offer temporary pet sitting and dog walking in the area while I’m in town, as my work and love for travel take me around the world. When I’m here, I’m fully dedicated to caring for your pets—providing companionship, exercise, and comfort until you’re back. My schedule is flexible during my local stays, so whether you need daily walks, weekend care, or short-term pet sitting, I’m happy to help. When I care for your pets in your home, I treat your space with the same respect and attention as if it were my own. I know how important it is to feel confident when someone else is looking after your furry family members—and your home—so I’m committed to providing a safe, trustworthy, and dependable presence. From securely locking doors to following your pets’ routines exactly as you request, I make sure every detail is handled with care. Your pets will receive plenty of love, comfort, and attention, and you can rest easy knowing they’re safe, happy, and right where they feel most at home.
“Jen was an outstanding cat sitter. She accepted my last minute request and immediately made me feel comfortable leaving my cat in her care. My cat requires multiple medications throughout the day, and she handled everything flawlessly. She was kind, attentive, and even took the initiative to research my cat’s condition to better understand his needs. Coming home to a clean house and litter box was so nice after a long day of travel. I couldn’t have asked for better care—highly recommended!”

About: I am a hairstylist the recently found a love in pet sitting and walking! The salon I work at actually fosters cats🐾 I always grew up with animals and always wanted to be a vet when I was younger. Since I’m unable to have my own pets, I am able to give all my lovings to yours🫶 I am able to complete any task asked of me. I am reliable, clean, and hardworking. Your pets will be in great hands! As I am a full time hairstylist, dog walking will be my most obtainable service! I am available Wednesdays, Friday and Saturday afternoons, and all day Sundays! I am able to provide pet care on Wednesdays, as well as Saturday afternoons, and Sundays. I occupy and entertain pets while inside, as well as take care of what is needed (feeding, cleaning, and medicine.) I monitor pets while outside, whether that be fenced in or not, as well as take them on walks.

“Liz was absolutely amazing. This was the first time I’ve ever left either of my dogs with someone outside of our family so I was super nervous(and my one dog is 14). Liz came over for an interview and immediately made me feel comfortable and I knew she was the right choice. We were gone two nights and in those two nights she sent me constant videos and pictures of both dogs. I could tell they were loving her which made me love her even more. She left the house so clean, I couldn’t even tell she was here. We will absolutely be having her come to stay on our next trip again and I would highly recommend her for anyone looking for a sitter. She proved to not only be trust worthy with our home but with our fur babies too. Thank you Liz for everything you did 🐾🐶”


About: I’ve taken care of neighbors’ dogs and my own dog for the past several years. My experience has included walking, bathing, and overnight house sitting care. I have also taken care of cats overnight. I am a college student, home for the summer. I am looking to help any time I am needed on a weekly basis until mid-late August when I return to college. I prefer not to do overnight care for longer than two nights at a time. I will also be working around my preexisting babysitting clients. I am comfortable with all types of dogs and cats, as I have experience with many different sizes and breeds. I always provide updates to my clients as needed and attentive care to the pets I look after.
About: I had always had a dog in my household from birth to 15. I would take the dog on walks often and feed when need be. I also have had cats my whole life, so I am very well rounded with animal caretaking. I also don’t mind the sun, or rain. I’m currently not in school and I am available quite often. I adore taking care of animals and will work my schedule around your pets. I love dogs and will provide all the attention needed for them to be happy. I also pay careful attention to instructions given and will follow them perfectly.

About: I have worked 2 week long dog sitting jobs before. I have owned pets my whole life, so I am comfortable with the process of taking care of them. I am an electrical engineering student home from college trying to pay off my loans. I am free all summer so please give me work!! I am friendly and have a lot of time to match any request your pet needs. From difficult animals to sweet ones I can watch them.
About: I have cared for both small dogs and medium sized dogs. Have implemented special diets (Farmer's Dog) given medications through food or a treat. Assisted in foster care. Can follow leash and harness preferences and always have poop bags on the ready. I have slept beside puppies who are needy throughout the night. I am a full time K-12 art teacher so I would be available for any pet care services mostly on the weekends and few selected nights throughout the week. I would stay in the areas of the home that the pet is residing and or whichever areas that the client feels comfortable with. Example being the living room or dining room.

“This was a last minute booking, and then the details changed the day before due to a member of my family being hospitalized. Wilfred rolled with the changes and adjusted when to arrive and leave my house in order to give my pup a nice intermission from being stuck at home alone. Very communicative, conscientious, and punctual, with a genuine love and care for animals. Will definitely book again when needed.”


About: I’ve been around dogs since I was a child, so I’m comfortable dealing with puppies and older dogs. I am also familiar with crate training, caring for female dogs in heat, potty training, and feeding schedules. Love to hike and go on walks with furry friends! Disclaimer: I am allergic to cats so I cannot house sit your dog if cats are present. I don’t work during the summers, so my availability is very open! I can watch your furry friends while you are working and/or take them on walks to get them out of the house! I have a partially fenced in yard and a dog of my own to play with your pet(s) if wanted. I am available for boarding at my house or your home. Let’s figure out what works best for your loved fur baby!
“I cannot speak highly enough of Hailee. This was her first time dog sitting for us, and every single thing that could have gone wrong in our house did. Our water heater broke right before she arrived and started flooding the finished basement, the plumber that fixed the water heater accidentally left the gas off so there was no heat for 24 hours, and there was a fire down the street that caused them to turn off the power to our grid. And yet, Hailee made it all a breeze. Between coordinating with our plumber, keeping the dogs calm with the commotion in the house, and keeping us in the loop. We came home to a clean house and happy & tired dogs. You would have never known that it was a crazy week. Highly recommend if you want peace of mind & will be rebooking!”


“We had a great experience with Deanna while we were away for 5 nights! Leaving our two pups, Dino and Ghost, is never easy but knowing they were in such good hands gave us so much peace of mind. What stood out to us was how quickly Ghost, usually slow to warm up to new people, felt comfortable. That’s a huge deal for us as pet parents! Deanna was calm, patient, and clearly has a special way with animals. We came home to two happy, relaxed dogs, and our home was just as we left it. We truly appreciated the updates and communication while we were away, and it’s clear our pups were loved and well taken care of the entire time. Highly recommend and would welcome Deanna back anytime! 🐾”

FAQs for House Sitting - West Pen Argyl
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 900 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across West Pen Argyl. 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 West Pen Argyl 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 West Pen Argyl 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 West Pen Argyl 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
