About: For over 21 years, I have cared for dogs and cats of all ages, personalities, and needs. In addition to raising and caring for my own dog, I have successfully completed numerous pet and house sitting assignments through a couple of online marketplaces, earning exclusively 5-star reviews and multiple repeat invitations from pet owners. My experience includes caring for puppies, senior pets, anxious pets, multi-pet households, and maintaining consistent routines tailored to each pet’s unique personality and needs. I pride myself on providing a calm, loving, and structured environment that helps pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy while their families are away. My professional background managing luxury homes, investment properties, and complex operations has made me exceptionally detail-oriented, organized, dependable, and proactive. I treat every home with the same level of respect, cleanliness, responsibility, and care that I would expect for my own, providing both pets and their families with the highest level of comfort and peace of mind. I recently relocated to Southern California and currently maintain a very flexible schedule, allowing me to accommodate a wide variety of pet care needs. I am available during weekdays, evenings, weekends, holidays, and for overnight stays. As I establish my professional pet care business in California, I am prioritizing flexibility, reliability, and building long-term relationships with pets and their families. This allows me to provide attentive care, prompt communication, and customized support based on each household’s specific needs and routines. Safety, consistency, and communication are my highest priorities. I carefully follow each pet’s established routines, feeding schedules, exercise requirements, medications, and behavioral preferences to minimize stress and provide a comfortable experience. Having cared for pets in a wide variety of home environments, I understand the importance of maintaining a clean, organized, and secure environment while respecting each family’s home and privacy. I provide regular updates, photos, videos and prompt communication so pet parents can enjoy complete peace of mind while away. I maintain a calm, organized lifestyle, non-smoker, sober-minded and have extensive experience caring for pets that require additional patience, affection, structure, or attention due to age, anxiety, or personality differences.

About: I provide personalized one-on-one pet services to ensure every pet receives dedicated attention and care. For each service, I only accept one client’s pet(s) at a time. This means I do not combine pets from different households during the same service, allowing me to focus entirely on your pet’s comfort, routine, and individual needs. Once you book my service, I reserve that scheduled time slot exclusively for your pet. I do not accept another client for that same service period, ensuring your pet receives my full attention without distractions or divided care. I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate almost any time. Just send me a message whenever you need my availability, and I'll be happy to work with your schedule! If you’re a new Rover user, use my referral code for your first booking and get $20 off! https://www.rover.com/sit/annax02660 When your pet is in my care, I treat them as if they were my own, with love, patience, and attention. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for by following their usual routine, providing plenty of affection and exercise, and paying close attention to their individual needs. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your pet is in caring and reliable hands.

Sheila is amazing! She is a kind and caring person who did everything possible to make my cats feel comfortable. Sheila showed genuine interest in knowing about each one of my five kitties, their little idiosyncrasies, habits, and personalities. She was very communicative and made me feel confident that my kitties were well taken care of while I was away.

About: Hi! My name is Jing, and I’m so excited to care for your furry family members while you’re away. 💕 I live with my family in a house with a fully fenced backyard and a separately fenced swimming pool area, providing a safe and comfortable environment where dogs can relax, play, and explore. 🐾 My Care Style I’m a patient and loving home-style caregiver, and I treat every dog who stays with me like part of my own family. 🐕 Every day, I provide: * Multiple supervised play sessions in the fenced backyard * Activities tailored to each dog’s age, personality, and energy level * Plenty of companionship, attention, and rest throughout the day 🧠 In my home, I also provide: * Snuffle mats * Puzzle toys * A variety of interactive toys All toys are cleaned and sanitized regularly to provide a safe and healthy play environment. 🏊 Summer Pool Time During the summer, dogs who enjoy water may have the opportunity to play in the pool. Pool time is only offered with the owner’s permission, and all water activities are closely supervised to ensure every dog’s safety and comfort. 🐾 About Crate Use I personally do not encourage long-term crate confinement, and I will never place a dog in a crate without the owner’s permission. I prefer to let dogs move freely in a safe environment so they can feel relaxed and comfortable. However, if your dog is crate-trained or needs a crate for safety, rest, or training, I’m happy to use your crate or provide one, as long as we discuss it in advance. 🏡 Cleanliness & Safety Cleanliness and safety are my top priorities. I maintain a clean, pet-friendly home every day so your dog can feel comfortable and at ease throughout their stay. 🍓 Optional Add-On Services (Additional Fee) If requested in advance, I also offer: * 🦷 Teeth brushing care * 🍎 Fresh fruit or plain yogurt treats (only with your permission and if there are no allergies) * 🍗 Homemade fresh meals prepared according to your instructions (ingredients, portions, and allergies will always be discussed beforehand) ❤️ My Philosophy I truly enjoy spending time with pets and deeply value the trust owners place in me. My goal is simple: 👉 To make every dog feel safe, happy, loved, and well cared for while staying with me. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend soon! 🐾💕 🐶 A Typical Day in My Care Every pup in my home enjoys a warm, structured, and loving routine: 🌞 Morning – We start the day with a refreshing walk at the park just a minute from my house, followed by breakfast and a little playtime in the yard. 🌤️ Midday – After a cuddle or brushing session, we’ll head out again for another walk (unless it’s extremely hot—then we’ll keep it short and stay cool indoors with the AC on). 🌿 Afternoon – Free time to nap, play with toys, or just relax in a cozy corner. I’m always home, so your pup is never left alone. If they enjoy company, I’ll engage them with gentle play and lots of love. 🌆 Evening – Another walk before dinner, followed by more family time together. On weekends, I love taking dogs for a bigger park outing, so they can explore, sniff, and meet new friends. 🌙 Night – After a final potty break in the yard, your pup can settle down for a calm and restful night. I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their chosen sleeping spot. ✨ Throughout the day, I’ll send you updates with photos or videos, so you can feel close and reassured while your pup enjoys their “home away from home.” 🏡 A Safe & Trustworthy Home for Your Pup Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Our home has a secure fenced yard and a peaceful garden, where pups can play freely without worry. Indoors, the environment is calm, clean, and air-conditioned on hot days, so your furry friend will always feel cool and comfortable. Because I’m home full-time, your dog will never be left alone. I watch over them throughout the day—whether they’re napping, playing, or enjoying time outside. Every pup gets gentle supervision and loving care, so you can relax knowing they are safe and happy. I treat every dog like family, providing both freedom and structure. With daily walks, plenty of cuddle time, and consistent updates for you, you can fully trust that your pup is in a secure, loving, and reliable home. ❤️

About: I've taken care of animals in my community for over 7 years. I have ample experience taking care of dogs, cat, and rabbits of all ages and backgrounds. Rest assured I will be a gentle and responsible sitter to your furry friends! I have an 8 year old lop rabbit myself, and welcome the extra company in my day to day. NOTE: Please have up to date records of core vaccinations (namely rabies) available. Outdoor or Indoor/Outdoor hybrid cats and dogs will ideally be on flea/parasite preventatives regardless of services provided. If that is not the case just let me know so I can be aware! If cats are indoor ONLY this can be an exception. Rabbits will ideally be vaccinated against RHDV2 but if they are not, please inform me. Please also include existing or past diseases (coccidia, e. cuniculi, etc...) or any abnormal symptoms (large poops, jelly like substance in their poops, head tilt, etc....) I have a rabbit at home and they are much more vulnerable to diseases, so I have to prioritize her health! Thanks for understanding. I am currently in-between jobs and have ample time to accommodate to your pet's needs. I am flexible, so just let me know what you need! I am committed to transparency and will take any precautions that you deem necessary to keep your pet and your home safe. I do not board animals in my home as I have a rabbit and am unwilling to expose her to other animals due to the risks, but am more than happy to travel!

But Rose was so kind and comforting and confident, and made sure to send us lots of pictures and updates during each of her visits. She took care of everything even with the kitties deciding to cough up some hairballs for her 😅 the kitties were very happy and we’ll be sure to book Rose again if we need a cat sitter in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Arcadia on Rover is $25.53 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 9,483 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Arcadia. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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 .

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Arcadia. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% 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.

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.
