“Bailey was amazing with our dog, Murphy! He stayed with him for 4 nights and sent daily pictures and updates. We arrived home and the house was cleaner than we left it! Highly recommend!”


“I can’t thank Jacqueline enough for the amazing care she gave my dog. From the moment she took care of her, I could tell how loving, caring, and attentive she was. She treated my dog like her own and made sure she felt comfortable, happy, and well cared for. It gave me such peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. Jacqueline was wonderful with her, and I truly appreciate all the love, patience, and attention she gave her. I would absolutely recommend Jacqueline to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to take care of their pets. ❤️🐾”

“Allison was able to extend her care for my dog when my return flight was delayed. She came in clutch in an emergency. She is conscientious, caring and kind. She adjusted to the routine my elderly dog was used to so things stayed consistent for him. It helped out a lot and he was clearly happy and well cared for.”

“Kara was wonderful with communication and taking care of our fur baby, Linus. Loved getting a video of them playing ball together! Would absolutely recommend her as a pet sitter, and will reach out to use her again for future trips when we are out of town.”

“Katie was absolutely incredible and I truly cannot recommend her enough!! From the very start, I could tell Luigi felt comfortable with her which says EVERYTHING!! The moment she got out of her car to greet us, he immediately took to her and that is not something he does with everyone. She provided so many updates and pictures which gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. I never once had to wonder how he was doing. One of the biggest things that stood out to me was her honesty. Instead of just saying everything was perfect (which other sitters have said while I knew he wasn’t perfectly fine), she shared that Luigi definitely missed us. I appreciated that more than anything because it showed how in tune she was with him. Even better, she didn’t just leave it at that. She actively worked to engage him and get him moving which is so important for a dog’s mental well being. She took him on walks, paid close attention to his needs, and truly treated him like her own. You can tell Katie genuinely cares and goes above and beyond. Luigi and I are both so grateful to have found her!!!”


About: Ive been around all kinds of animals since before I could walk. Ive owned and trained my dogs all my life and have always been the go to for friends and family to take care of their animals if they were traveling. Im available every day after 3pm and on the weekends Im free when needed I just need a few days notice so I dont have scheduling conflicts. I have a large back yard and one pup of my own hes vocal but friendly as can be. My yard is not fenced but we go on regular walks and jogs. My floors are epoxy so theres no need for worry of stains or messes if youd like your pup to be separate we can arrange something.

About: I love to take care of your love ones, and to take pictures and film of them a bit while in my care. I live in punta gorda and work for the sheriffs office as a clerk. I am very dependable and trust worthy. If clients need other services for your doggies, medications special food preparation. I'm currently working 12 hr shifts, so I can work the days I am off. I work 5 days a week and 2 days a week, every other weekend. I always make sure the harness are on currently, they have plenty of water, any medications to be given I set a time on my watch to insure I don't forget. I play with all of my furry baby's.
About: I have been taking care of my own dogs since I was 10 years old, I have trained my dogs before with good mannerisms. I am open to learn some new skills with high maintenance dogs or cats and even senior pets as well! I love walking with my dogs and playing with them! Still living at home, I work in the mornings and get home around 10-12 and I take care of my dogs then. I just take them outside, let them run around, bring them inside, give them some treats and let them do their own thing. They are always with me in my room since it’s just me in the house, or whenever I go out I sometimes take them with me! But typically, I just stay inside and do some cleaning, cooking and school work as well. I make sure to take them outside as soon as I get home, and let them back in after 5-10 minutes since it’s hot outside. I just spend quality time with them, play with them and take them for walks in the evening
“David’s recent two-week long booking with us to care for our pets in our home was a great experience! David showed his dedication and patience with our elderly (at times problematic and misunderstood) Shih Tzu mix, Rookie. I honestly think Rookie keeps looking for David, even two days after we returned home, and that alone is a huge endorsement coming from Rookie. David communicated with us often about the status and goings-on of our pets and household while we were away. Numerous pictures and videos assured us that everybody was healthy, happy and well-adjusted to having David care for them. Lastly, David was willing to help out with indoor plant watering, and obviously respected our home by his neatness by leaving the house as he found it. He even took it on himself to do towels and linens laundry, and we had clean sheets on the bed after our long planes-trains-and-automobiles-journey home. We would highly recommend David for in-your-home sitting, and will be booking him in the future.”

“Alex was great and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. He was responsive, kept me updated, and the dogs were always happy around him. I would highly recommend Alex for any dog sitting/walking service!”

“My dogs loved Jenelle and so did we! We could tell from the interactions that they were in very capable and loving hands. Throughout the stay, Jenelle sent numerous photos (and texts) of her playing,exercising and cuddling with both Ivy and Harley We left detailed instructions for the care of our house and pets which she followed to our greatest satisfaction. Our house was spotless when we returned and both dogs were happy and content We have finally met a very responsible and affectionate young lady that we can entrust with the care of our home and pets to. We plan on hiring Jenelle in the future and highly recommend her services. When it comes to trusting the care of both home and pets to someone and having peace of mind in doing so, we have been truly blessed with Jenelle. 🙂”

“Maria was available on very short notice for an unexpected trip. She did a great job from start to finish, and my mind was at ease the whole time. I absolutely recommend her, and will be reaching out again for any future trips.”

“Charles did beyond a wonderful job caring for 3 animals. He was timely, did everything we discussed, and our dogs and cat were very happy with him. We got daily updates and photos, and our house looked amazing when we got back. We will definitely be booking him more in the future. Thank you so much for all of your hard work, Charles. Timber, Bear, and Thoomi can’t wait to see you again.”

“Jeffrey sat with my pup for 8 days while I was on an overseas trip. He is a very kind and conscientious person. And I trusted him completely in my home. He was warm and affectionate to my dog who has separation anxiety, by cuddling, petting and reassuring her. And from the pictures he sent I could tell she was relaxed and happy. He also kept her on a good schedule with her daily walks and feedings. I'll definitely request Jeffrey again for a future trip.”

“Jonathan was wonderful, my 16-year-old dog loved him instantly. My dog was not at all out of sorts after a long weekend which means meds were given on time, he had plenty of walks (probably more than normal), and he wasn't left alone for too long. Jonathan communicated appropriately throughout his stay and my home was left very neat and tidy. I'm extremely thankful for his kind care of my old, curmudgeonly dog.”

The average cost of House Sitting in Arcadia on Rover is $21 per night as of October 2026.

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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.

- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
