About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, bearded dragons and snakes for family, friends, and strangers over several years. I am willing to take care of any animal(s), no matter the temperament or how exotic it may be. As long as there are clear instructions and direct communication, I am able to be responsible any animal(s). My primary job is with Maryland Department of Natural Resources and with certain assignments there is no rescheduling. This assignments are generally on weekends from 11:00 AM - 5:00PM. I am still able to arrive early in the morning and in the afternoon on these days, otherwise that I am available most of the week. My calendar will be up to date at the beginning of every month. I can come to your home but I cannot use my own. I am willing to send pictures of your animal(s) every minute if you miss them and need to know how they are doing.
“Danielle did a great job watching our two pups overnight at our house! She kept us in the loop with how they were doing the entire time we were gone. She left our house cleaner than we left it. We will definitely be contracting Danielle again for future dog sitting.”

“Owen was fantastic. Not only was he responsive but the dogs were well taken care of. They were walked, fed, played with, and given a lot of love. While he was watching the pups he also kept the house clean. I got daily pictures ands updates which helped to put my mind at ease about my pups while I was on vacation. I will use Owen again”

“We couldn’t be more grateful for the care Justine provided. From the beginning, communication was clear, prompt, and professional and we received regular updates and photos, which made being away so much easier. When we returned home, our dog was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. That says everything. We would absolutely book again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and compassionate dog sitter.”


About: I am an avid dog (and cat!) lover and have had experience working with other various types of animals over the course of the last 12 years! I previously was a dog trainer and have been trained to work with dog aggression and handling anxious dogs. Currently I own one dog and two cats. My dog’s name is Dzeko and he does well with a variety of animals. My three cats are named The Girl and Malenia. I love hiking and running so I can exercise your energetic pup as much as needed! If you have questions or need help with your dog’s behavior we can also discuss training. I currently work Monday through Thursday in the mornings and wrap up around noon, which leaves me with plenty of time in the afternoons and evenings for walks, drop-ins, or just spending time with your pets. My weekends are completely open as well. I intentionally keep my schedule flexible and would love to combine my free time with caring for pets. I’m also available for house sitting, so I can provide more consistent care and keep your pets company throughout the day if needed. I try to keep everything as close to your pet’s normal routine as possible so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away! I follow all feeding, walking, and care instructions closely, and I’m very attentive to behavior changes or anything that seems off. I’m clean and respectful of your space! I’m also mindful about safety, making sure doors, gates, and any pet specific precautions are always handled properly. I also like to stay in touch and send updates/photos so you can feel at ease knowing your furry friend is happy and well cared for while you’re away!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities since I was young. I grew up with dogs in my home and currently have two dogs of my own, so I know how much our pets mean to us and how important it is to find someone you can trust with them. I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I truly love all fur babies and would be so excited to care for yours! 🐾❤️ I am currently a part time student at Anne Arundel community college. I also have a part time job. My weekends are available. Weekdays I have a lot of free time during the day between classes before I head to work at 2:30-5:30 (usual hours). Safety is my top priority when caring for your pets. I will always make sure they are supervised, secure, and comfortable, whether we are out on a walk, during a drop-in visit, or staying overnight. I follow each pet’s routine and any instructions you provide, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, and anything else that helps them feel at home.
“I always appreciate the care and effort that goes into taking care of my pups! Thank you Jahcarre and Morgan for loving on Koko and Yuki while I was away! As always, I’m much appreciative and look forward to the next opportunity! Take care, Danielle”
About: I have walked, taken care of, fed, and bathed over 30 dogs at once! I used to be a dog caretaker at a doggy daycare/lodging ! :) I use my skills to ensure safety to all pups while watching groups (up to 20!) and maintain my visual observations in playtime. I play and take care of dogs of all sizes (and cats)! I understand both cat and dog behaviors. I remember up to 40 dogs’ first and last names, what they eat, how they eliminate, their breed, and how their stay is and if they’re playing with other pups! I walk 10-15 dogs a day and always keep them under control on leashes. I correct them effectively and give praise when it’s needed. I love all puppers that come my way! With that being said, I would love to meet you and your pup/kitty! My experience won’t let you down and I am looking forward to further our conversation! Dedicated professional with full-time commitments, I prioritize exceptional pet care by offering flexible availability on weekends (Saturdays and Sundays) and certain weekdays before or after standard work hours. This demonstrates my commitment to accommodating the diverse needs of both clients and their beloved pets, ensuring reliable and tailored care. In providing pet care, I tailor my approach based on the specific service and environment. Whether caring for pets in my home or at the client's residence, I prioritize the well-being and individual needs of each animal. I maintain a safe and comfortable environment, adhering to established routines, dietary requirements, and any medical considerations. Additionally, my attention to detail extends to administering medications when necessary. With a commitment to creating a positive and enriching experience, I ensure that both the pets and their owners feel confident and satisfied with the level of care provided.
“Skylar was phenomenal. She was extremely communicative and I was able to travel knowing my dogs were in excellent hands. I cannot recommend her enough if you’re looking for a sitter!”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for years now. From my own to sitting to volunteering at shelters they’ve become such a huge part of my life. I have experience with everything from puppy to old and all types of energy levels and training. I’ll be sure to take care of your dog as my own! I’m available weekdays after 4 and most weekends as well as early mornings. Weekends I have typical all day availability for a variety of needs. I have a nice complex park for the dogs to play in. Whatever rules you want your dog to follow in your own home I’ll make sure they do! Safety is always the number one priority.
“Lindsay really helped us out when another sitter canceled on us last minute. She was able to accommodate a meet and greet even though it was late and she was so kind and friendly with our dogs. She sent pictures and updates to give us peace of mind and correctly managed their medications/supplements. We are really grateful for her help!”

“Alexis did an outstanding job taking care of Mercy. She scheduled a meet and greet beforehand and made sure to follow all of my requests. Mercy seemed to have a great time and was well cared for. Alexis played with her, fed her, made sure she had plenty of water, and kept her den spotless. The house was just as clean as I left it. Alexis was always on time, communicated well, and I loved receiving her daily updates and photos of Mercy. I’ll definitely be using her as my go-to Rover for all future trips.”

“Renee was an absolute pleasure to work with! From our initial meet-and-greet, she took the time to build a connection with my wife and me, but most importantly, with Prince. She shared her previous pet-sitting experience, asked thoughtful questions, and made sure she understood Prince’s routine, personality, and what works best for him. Renee cared for Prince while my wife and I celebrated her birthday locally, and we felt completely comfortable knowing he was in good hands. She was punctual, attentive to his feeding and walking schedule, and spent genuine quality time with him—from long walks to belly rubs and a little indoor fetch. Throughout her visits, she kept us updated with messages and photos of Prince, which we really appreciated. She was also incredibly thoughtful about our home, even letting us know it had gotten warm inside and recommending that we turn on the AC for Prince’s comfort. After both visits, we had a quick debrief about how everything went. Renee was communicative, caring, dependable, and clearly invested in Prince’s wellbeing. We would absolutely trust her with Prince again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and reliable sitter!”

“Briana was great! We had a special situation where our two pups just met and so they had to be separated during her visit. And both of them are anxious. Briana handled it perfectly and was so sweet to them. From the minute we met her we knew she’d be excellent with our pups. She is reliable, responsible, communicative and so sweet. She gave us so much peace of mind we were able to enjoy our vacation. We will definitely use her again. Highly Recommend!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Arcadia is $67 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $56 and $72 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 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 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 Arcadia. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
