“Having Evelyn watch our dog was a great decision and one we’ll repeat in the future for sure. We were feeling guilty about leaving our nervous dude for almost two weeks but Evelyn put our minds at eases. She came over beforehand, met Otto and took lots of notes. Evelyn took care of our house (even keeping garden veggies alive in summer) and our dog and you should too. Great communication too! Thanks Evelyn!”
“Susan is the most wonderful gem in the whole world. She and Holli took such great care of our sweet girls. We were so nervous to leave the pups for such a long time and Susan was such a comfort. Our house was beyond amazing when we came home too. Thank you so much Susan.”
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong dog lover who has grown up around dogs my entire life. I currently have two Rhodesian Ridgebacks at my family home that each weigh over 120 pounds, so I'm very comfortable handling large, energetic breeds as well as dogs of all sizes. I've always enjoyed spending time with animals, whether that's going on walks, playing outside, or simply giving them plenty of attention and companionship (I love to cuddle with dogs). Growing up, I regularly babysat and cared for my neighbors' dogs whenever they were away, which taught me how important it is to provide dependable, loving care while owners are gone. I understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, and I always do my best to make them feel comfortable, safe, and happy. Whether you need someone to walk your dog, stop by for drop-in visits, or house sit while you're away, I'll treat your house and pets like they're my own. I'm reliable, communicative, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I'd love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family members! Pet care fits easily into my schedule because I work remotely and have a very flexible work routine. I'm available for morning, afternoon, evening walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting, allowing me to provide dependable care whenever it's needed. I always follow each pet's normal routine to help them feel comfortable and safe. Whether I'm in your home or caring for your pet during a walk or drop-in visit, I'll make sure they have plenty of attention, exercise, fresh food and water, and lots of love. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages if you want so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
“I have been a pet owner for 13 years and never had a need to leave an animal with someone outside my family/friend group, so I was a nervous wreck as i went into the process of finding a house/pet sitter for my cat. I had originally planned to meet and talk with several sitters to find the right one, but Meaghan was great right off the bat and I just got a vibe that she was the right fit. She kept me updated along the way, left my home spotless, and even took on extra tasks like plant care. I will definitely book with her again!”
“Kelly is Amazing!! She has such compassion and love for your fur babies in all the extras that she does to make you feel at ease when you are away. We will definitely be using Kelly again in the near future!”
“Highly recommend Lauren! It was clear from the meet-and-greet that she has a lot of experience. She handled our two dogs with ease and sent lots of updates and photos. A truly stress-free experience for us.”
“My wife and I had a family vacation for 5 days and it was our first time leaving our new home and pets, so naturally we were a little nervous! However, Rachel made it so we didn’t have to worry about anything while we were away. This was such a great experience and we highly recommend Rachel. She is very kind, respectful, and reliable! We love now feeling like we have someone we can trust when we need help with the pets and we are so grateful!!!! 10 stars!”
“Kristan did great watching our dog at our house for the weekend! Our dog is a little particular and requires lots of walks for her energy and Kristan was great meeting her needs. She gave her all the attention she needs and gave us updates. She also left our house all neat and clean! Definitely recommend her!”
“Megan did an amazing job! Took notes and was flexible to every need and preference, pictures and updates regularly, and my minions clearly had a lot of fun! Highly recommend and will be requesting again for my future dog sitting! Thanks Megan!!!”
“Roman was a fabulous house and dog sitter. He always responded to us promptly. He came over for a meet and greet first and everything went well due to Roman's calm demeanor, and even my timid German shepherd got on with him very well after a few minutes. Highly recommend him.”
About: I’m a dependable, caring animal lover with experience caring for both cats and dogs, including a 110 lb American Bully and my mom’s Australian Shepherd. I believe every pet is unique and deserves patience, kindness, and positive reinforcement. I’m reliable, attentive, and committed to learning each pet’s individual needs so they receive the best possible care while you’re away. As of now I only care for pets or clean homes. I'd like to have more clients in both areas! I'm open weekends and weekdays and nights. I will travel to you, park somewhere legal and nearby and walk your dog for however long you'd like. I will also drop in to change puppy pads, feed, medicate or do whatever you need. In my career, I have a lot of people who rely on my punctuality and my problem solving as well as maintaining a safe and clean environment. I bring this into my own home and would bring that into yours as well. As far as cats, I've had many escape artists in my day so I am well versed in that area. I will do whatever you need, get a head count, and provide you with proof your cat is doing great while you're away longer than you're comfortable leaving!
“Hailey did a great job dog and housesitting for us and our two small pups. She communicated very well and sent updates. She even watered some outdoor plants for us while we were out of town for the week. She cleaned up after herself when she left and was very polite and thoughtful. We will definitely be in contact again to book her when we go out of town next time!”
About: I have 10+ years of pet sitting experience with dogs, cats, and birds, plus two years working at an animal shelter where I bathed, walked, and cared for dogs of all temperaments. I’m comfortable with everything from high-energy pups to shy or senior pets and always tailor my care to each animal’s needs. I offer walks and drop-in visits, and I’m happy to keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away. As a pet parent to my cats, Beans and Rufus (and having grown up with my dogs, Wrigley and Gigi), I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets—I treat them like my own! I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility for morning and late afternoon walks, check-ins, and playtime. I’m also very open on weekends and happy to work around your pet’s routine! . Your pet’s comfort, safety, and daily routine are my #1 priority. I provide calm, attentive care in their home, following feeding, walking, and play schedules as directed. I’m also comfortable with basic medication administration and always send updates and photos so you stay connected while you’re away.
“Tatym was great!! She was so friendly and our dog instantly liked her upon meeting. She gave our dog his medication, sent regular updates with pictures, responded quickly to texts, and treated him like her own! We could tell when we got home he was well taken care of, and so was our home from when she stayed. We will absolutely contact Tatym again when he need dog sitting in the future!”
About: I’ve loved walking and caring for dogs and cats since I was 13 years old. I treat every pet with kindness, patience, and care as if they were my own. I have a flexible schedule and am available most days. Feel free to reach out, and I’ll do my best to accommodate your pet care needs. I prefer caring for pets in their own home, where they feel comfortable and safe. I follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. I make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, care, and love while you’re away, and I always keep their safety and well-being my top priority.
“Stayed in our home for 3 nights with our 2 dogs. Mary kept us updated and informed with lots of photos throughout the week. She was able to get to our place early upon leaving and stayed until our return. This was our first experience using Rover, and seemed to work great!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 1,412 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:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
