“Amanda was great with our girl! Our pup is a bit vocal and has a few quirks; like needing doors closed, a sound machine on when we’re out, and a special diet…but Amanda handled everything. Communication was easy and consistent, and we came home to a happy pup. It’s clear she really cared, and we’ve already booked her again.”
“Chris took great care of our two dogs and our house while we were away for about a week. He took the time to get to know our dogs and even got them a special treat! We would be happy to book with him again.”
“Aubrey was great! She provided regular updates, left the home in perfect condition and made me feel at ease knowing Theodore was cared for. I will absolutely book again!”
“Jade is fantastic! She took care of my lovely dog Maple for 4 days of Labor Day. She sent me photos of my baby everyday and checked in with me often. I will definitely be hiring Jade again!”
“Laura was so sweet to help me out on short notice with my 17 year old dog. She did an excellent job sending videos and pictures and keeping me I formed on how he was doing. Very sweet personality and she gives attention to details to keep you pet happy while you’re away.”
About: Hi my name is Abby Laderoute! I’m currently a student at UGA. I grew up in a household with lots of dogs and I have been pet sitting for other people since my freshman year of highschool. I’ve also taken care of a 4 month old puppy. I’m currently a UGA student so my schedule is relatively open. Of course it changes semester to semester but I like to have a reasonable amount of time. I’m also usually camping about 1 weekend a month! I live in a classic suburban style neighborhood with a backyard for the dog to run around in. My neighborhood also has a large park for dogs to play around in. Within the house Its just me and my older brother. We like to keep things safe and organized.
“Kaitlyn created the perfect environment in our home for our pups to feel safe and happy! It makes going away stress free. We look forward to having her care for our dogs again soon.”
About: Furbabies have been my best friends since childhood! From sitting for friends to taking care of my own, dogs and cats have always held a special place in my heart. I have house/pet sat for family and friends as well as worked at a dog daycare, so I am familiar with a variety of dog types and the care these animals need to be at their happiest! I’m currently working a very flexible part-time job, so I am able to spend plenty of time with all your furbabies! I am usually available anytime on Friday-Sundays and after 5pm on weekdays! I am always happy to pet sit and house sit overnight if needed! And am able to provide any and all kinds of walking/playing time. From being the personal driver to the park or just walking around your neighborhood, I will always bring forward a caring environment for your pet.
About: I used to work at vets office a year ago. I took care of dogs, cats, bunnies… etc. I bathed them, cuddled them and, cared for them! I am currently out of school for summer and I am working part time. I will have plenty of time to play with your animals! I always make sure to greet my dogs when I come in and I always use a leash on walks for their safety. I make sure they have plenty of water and food before I leave to go anywhere.
About: I have been working with pets for 6 years. I’m first aid and CPR certified for dogs and cats. I’m currently supervisor for a dog boarding facility. I work either 6-1 or 1-7 any given day. So when I am not at work I can spend my time watching your lovely pets. I have a fenced in yard. My living situation has 3 floors so I can separate your pets from mine. I rarely let dogs outside off leash just as a precaution. I have a 20 foot leash so dogs can still run and play fetch while remaining safe.
“Mallory was very friendly, and my cats loved her. She took great care of our house while we were gone and brought in packages that arrived. She sent photos and videos of the kitties, and she was easy to communicate with. I will definitely ask her to petsit again.”
About: Ever since I was a little girl I have always loved animals. I have always had a family pet and I currently have a sweet puppy of my own, his name is Ollie. In high school I volunteered at local animal shelters and started dog/ farm sitting for friends and family. It is one of my lifetime dreams to open up a doggy cafe and maybe even a doggy day camp. So if you ever need anyone to dog sit, walk your pups, or even just hang out with them for a little while… I am super flexible and more than willing!! I have a very flexible and remote job, so I can always find time to escape to go play with some pups! I’m available more often than not for dog/housesitting, walks, and check ins throughout the week!! My biggest concern is that your fur baby is happy and healthy. Every family is different and every dog may require different needs, I understand that and know that all too well. I am pretty flexible and up for anything to ensure your pup is living their best life. I am a big fan of communication so I will always ask questions if any situation arises. And I will keep you updated with tons of cute photos of your sweet babies.
“I highly recommend Eric! As a pet sitter myself, it’s tough leaving your beloved animals with someone else, but Eric took wonderful care of our two rescue dogs and one rescue cat. He provided daily updates with pictures … and we came back to happy animals and a clean home😊 Do yourself a favor and book him!”
“Excellent and attentive care. Super responsive to my frantic texts because I’m a worrier. Such a kind and caring person. Highly highly recommend and will hire again!!!”
About: I’m a fun loving dog sitter. I love playing with dogs, walking with them, and giving them tummy rubs. Being lazy is another quality I’m good at when me and the dog(s) don’t have anything better to do. I really do love animals. Their like fluffy teddy bears. Dogs deserve all the love and attention in the world. Weather they act crazy or not If the dog misbehaved then I would lightly pop it on the nose and say no but if the dog was nice then I’d give it tummy rubs
About: I have one cat and had two beautiful dogs growing up. I’m a great listener to instructions and would love to help u help ur pets! I'm very flexible and I'm excited to get exercise everyday and make some money. My routine ebbs and flows but in my spare time this is what I would like to do and I'm very excited to do this! My cat, Scarlett, is an indoor outdoor cat. I clean her litter box every day and feed her everyday in the morning. I also play, groom, and take her to her vet.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Arcade is $39 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $44 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Arcade 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 Arcade 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 Arcade 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Arcade. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
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.
