“We've gone with Vanessa to house-sit our Jack Russell Terrier, Maddie multiple times now and she's the best! She's quick to respond to texts and always leaves the place neat and clean. She also sends us texts and pictures of Maddie while we're gone which we love. Knowing Maddie is with Vanessa while we're gone makes our trips 100 times more enjoyable. She's awesome!”
“Joliana was so wonderful with our cat, Siri! We are always a little nervous to leave our elderly girl who has some light separation anxiety, and needs daily medication, but Joliana did great! She sent photos daily and assured us that Siri was relaxing and had no problem taking her medication. Joli also left our home in great condition. We would definitely hire her again in the future.”
About: I am now a pet groomer. In my daily work, I can come into contact with various dogs. I know their personality traits and things to pay attention to. Every dog is unique. We must understand and love him. Master basic dog training techniques. The safety of your dog comes first at all times I work as a groomer three to four days a week and am available to take care of dogs in my free time, especially on weekends and evenings. I can spend time with your dog and offer grooming and care advice. Safety and compassion are my top priorities. Please rest assured that leaving your dog with me will keep her active and happy. When we visit dogs at home, we will communicate with the dog owners in advance, play with the dog in a designated area, and play games with the dog according to its preferences to keep the dog active and healthy.
“**Absolute Perfection!** Sheila is truly amazing! We left our dogs in her care over the weekend, and she treated them like her own. We were able to enjoy our weekend without stress or worry! Her loving approach completely put us at ease. She provided regular updates throughout our time away, so we always knew what they were up to. Sheila is very professional. She came on time and communicated her schedule with us frequently. We came home to incredibly happy, healthy, and safe dogs. To top it all off, Sheila was so incredibly kind and even left a beautiful, thoughtful gift for the dogs and a kind note for us before she left. We couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter and will absolutely be reaching out to her again. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Highly recommend Krista. She sent photos and updates throughout the day. She is very responsive and answered all my messages thoughtfully. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. We will for sure call her back :)”
“Chris was an excellent house and pet sitter! She gave detailed updates and photos every day and kept all the pets on schedule with food and meds they needed to take. The house was left clean, tidy and safe when we arrived back home. Would hire again!”
“Haley was wonderful taking care of our dog and home. We have already booked her for multiple dates. Bubby was happy so we were happy! She also had no problem giving him his meds.”
“Will definitely be a repeat customer with Sonya, she was fantastic! She came out to meet our fur baby Milo in advance of the stay with him and spent time listening to all the details about his care, preferences, etc. that are important to us. Additionally, she was responsive throughout our communication and regularly sent us pics and updates about how Milo was doing while we were gone. She put our minds at ease. Thanks Sonia!”
“Laura was fantastic! I have a 1 year old and an 11 year old dog, each with their own needs. She was wonderful and communicative during the 5 day I was away. I felt completely comfortable with her taking care of them. And when I came home, everything was in great shape and the dogs seemed very happy. I will definitely hire her again.”
About: As a long time owner of a working breed, I am familiar with energetic dogs that need both physical activity and mental stimulation to stay happy and healthy. I go on daily hour long strolls each evening with my own dog as well as morning walks with play sessions scattered throughout the day. In addition to caring for my own dog, I've regularly helped friends and watch their dogs while they're away. This has given me experience caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. Whether it's taking them on walks, keeping up with feeding schedules, providing companionship, or making sure they feel comfortable in a new environment, I enjoy getting to know each dog's unique needs and personality! When caring for your dog, my goal is to make them feel safe, loved, and at home while you're away, whether that means going on long walks, playing fetch, sticking to their routine, or simply providing companionship and attention. I live in a home with a fenced backyard with my partner who is also work from home, so we have a very flexible schedule and will always have at least one person supervising your pet. Since I've also used dog sitting apps before for when I needed to travel abroad, I understand how important it is to keep you updated with photos, messages, and plenty of reassurance so you can enjoy your time away knowing your dog is in good hands. I'm currently in-between jobs, so I'll have plenty of time to spend the day with your pups! This also means my current schedule is very flexible to fit around your dogs routine and needs. I have a fenced backyard with a friendly 4 year old Samoyed in a very walk-able neighborhood. I have a dog bed is most rooms around the house so they can pick and choose wherever they wish to lounge.
“Kevin was super easy to communicate with and stayed in touch while I was out of town. He was extremely responsible and took great care of my special needs dogs. I’ll definitely re-hire Kevin!”
About: I grew up with family pets such as nursing my 3 legged dog and rescuing cats. As well, as sitting for my cousins family pets! Pet care fits perfectly into my routine since I am available mornings and afternoons! A daily walk is great of me and my furry friend I care for my furry friends like family. I believe animals are pure innocence and need love and patience. Every animal has different levels of energy and socialization. They should be serviced to what they need!
“Delia was awesome…I would leave Oggie, my poodle with her anytime. She stayed at my house and it was wonderful to leave him in his own surroundings. She walked him and took great pics for us.”
“Tamar was fantastic with my four-year-old husky. She has a husky herself so she understood the nuances.She was very attentive and stayed for long periods of time. She sent a lot of pictures and updates. The communication is superb and follow up was really appreciated. Tamar was very respectful of my house, I definitely recommend using Tamar for housesitting.”
About: I’m 23 years old, playing and taking care of animals is something I love doing and have a passion for, please let me know 4 or 5 days in advance for a service you want so I can see if I have time on my schedule I’m usually home most of the time so I can provide a service at my house or at yours just let me know a couple days in advance I did move into an apartment but it’s a safe environment especially if the services are done in my house or even for walks around my neighborhood or yours as well
About: I've been around pets of all kinds (dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, turtles, crabs, birds) growing up. I've dog sat through college for friends and though couldn't have my own (due to apt living), have always been the classic auntie for my pals' pets! I do a great job with play/rest/cuddle care, hygiene (poop scooping/pee on pads or outdoors), and food/treats (that align with their diets/needs). I work remotely from home, but have a lot of flexibility and so love going out on walks/adventures myself. So visiting other fur pals sounds like it's right up my alleyway whether it's in a gap break between work needs and/or before or after work. Whether in your home or mine, I'm fully aware that your pet is their own full of own history/needs/comforts/safetys/fears too and so I practice having a really curious and calm posture that allows them to ease in. I'm master of the waiting game (you can ask my human nieces/nephews, they get tired of repetition/waiting before me) and so love creating a space that your pet can ease into and enjoy with of course a routine/structure that works for them (which is given by you). I love it!
About: I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats for over 5 years, including seniors, shy rescues, and energetic kittens. I’ve helped foster and rehome multiple cats, and currently care for three of my own. Friends and neighbors often rely on me to feed, clean, and spend quality time with their pets. I’m gentle, attentive, and love learning each animal’s unique personality. Pet care has always been a part of my life, and every interaction with animals feels incredibly healing and meaningful to me. I wish I could welcome even more animals into my life, but since I can’t right now, I treat every pet I care for like family whether they live in my home or yours. Pet care is already part of my daily life. I have three cats at home, including one I'm currently fostering. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and love being around them as much as possible. I provide a calm, pet-friendly space with lots of love and patience. I'm especially experienced with shy or anxious cats and dogs, and I make sure every pet feels safe, understood, and cared for. My own pets are well socialized, and I’m happy to follow any special instructions you have.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Arcadia
I highly recommend Chris. She came in fur the meet and greet and sat right on the floor. Bob is the most shy of the 3, but he came out to see what was going on. During the stay Bob needed meds and she more than willing to try anything. She couldn't pick him up, cause they just met so it to be crushed and hidden in his food. When I returned I couldn't even tell she had been here. Fabulous!
Vanessa was kind and helped Frank and I last minute. I appreciated her updates and her calm vibes around Frank. I'm grateful to have another person I hope I can call on to see if they're available in the future when I'm settled into the new house with all my partner's cats and little Frank. Thanks Vanessa!
Hayley took such good care of our babies! She was communicative and we felt very at ease on our trip knowing our children were being loved on. She provided photos and daily updates. From the meet and greet we could tell right away that she really loved animals. We would highly recommend her for your next sit! Thank you, Hayley!!

another wonderful housesit with Celest! we needed someone to housesit for us on the afternoon and evening of our wedding reception and thankfully, Celest was able to! she was on time, responsive, and forth coming in all her communications with us and sent photos throughout the night. she has such great calm energy that Nebula really responds to. we returned home to a very happy dog and tidy house. we appreciate you, Celest! thanks again!
Was our first time using Chloe and she stayed 4 days with our fur baby! We were so happy with her and she spoiled him with daily walks, cuddles and playtime! She sent pictures of him and he always looked so happy with her. She went beyond what we asked and came home to a happy boy and a clean house. ( which wasn’t expected)
Joliana was so wonderful with our cat, Siri! We are always a little nervous to leave our elderly girl who has some light separation anxiety, and needs daily medication, but Joliana did great! She sent photos daily and assured us that Siri was relaxing and had no problem taking her medication. Joli also left our home in great condition. We would definitely hire her again in the future.
Wendy is amazing! Last minute plans because of a death in the family had us searching for a sitter for our two recently rescued pups. Wendy promptly answered my inquiry and didn't bat an eye when we said that we were still learning about our new dogs. She jumped right in and made us feel comfortable about leaving for our memorial service out of state. Wendy has great communication, sends lot of pictures, and took great care of the dogs and our home. She is a prompt professional who takes each dog sitting opportunity seriously. I recommend Wendy for your dog sitting needs! Plus, she's just a friendly and caring person.
Jessica is the perfect sitter! I knew she was a good fit when our dog went up to her right away when we did a meet and greet. He is very particular, or I should say skeptical. I feel completely comfortable with her in our home and we come home to happy animals and a house as we left it (or maybe better?) Can not recommend her enough!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Arcadia on Rover is $38.99 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 15,056 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Arcadia. 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 Arcadia 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 Arcadia 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 Arcadia 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Arcadia. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
