“Caleigh was absolutely wonderful with our three animals. One of them is older and requires extra care and medication, and she handled everything with so much patience and attention.

We would not hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, reliable sitter!”

“If I could give Marci 10 stars I would! She went above and beyond when we were traveling OUT during the ice storm and returned during the snow storm. She braved the horrible weather and took excellent care of our dog and cat. With going through such a stressful time figuring out flight cancelations and delays it was such a relief that she made sure we knew our dog and cat were happy and safe and cared for. It made all the difference in the world, her thoughtfulness and kindness has gone above and beyond what was expected. She checked in regularly with pictures and we were able to enjoy our time away without one worry about our pets. We will continue to book with her! The. BEST. Dog sitter.”
“Karissa took very good care of our dogs while we were away. Our dogs are like our kids and Karissa went above and beyond to ensure they were comfortable and given proper care. Highly recommend her to take care of your loved ones.”
“Amazing experience having Samira house and pet sit! My dogs loved her right away and I was able to travel knowing everything was well looked after! Samira sent regular updates and pictures. Communication was great. I could not have asked for a better experience and will hope to have Samira come again next time we need pet sitting!”
About: I am a psychology major with a LOVE for taking care of animals. My first job was when I was only ten years old - watching my neighbors’ two dogs & 1 cat 🐾 I have experience working in pet stores as well! Animals have always been a huge part of my life and working with them has brought me so much joy throughout the years. I am a cat mom to my own furry baby, Pongo as well. Pet care fits into my daily routine because I have my own furry baby! I have a siamese cat, Pongo, who I’m always making sure is attended to. Whether that’s refilling his bowl, cleaning the litterbox, or throwing his favorite blanket in the dryer so he can have a warm blanket to kneed on, I am always on my toes making sure Pongo is loved. I care for my client’s pets by first, having a consultation with the owners to get to know their needs. Whether there’s a dietary restriction, or something I need to take the extra step in making the pet or owner comfortable, I make sure to check all my boxes.
“Brianna was amazing!! Very thorough and asked a lot of good questions in order to get to know our dogs and their routines. Very responsive and communicative throughout the day which we appreciate! I highly recommend and will be using Brianna in the future ☺️”
“Abby stayed with our two dogs a yorkie and a goldendoodle. She was very sweet and took good care of our very spoiled dogs. They can be a lot and she handled them beautifully. We would love to have her back again for our next trip.”

About: I have taken care of a variety of dogs for my friends and loved ones! I miss them while in school, and would love the opportunity to take care of your cutie! I am currently finishing up my degree and could use a joyful break. Would love to take your dog on a run/walk that’s already part of my routine. We can both get some wonderful sunlight and photosynthesize 🌸 I have a fenced in back yard and a crate if needed. My neighborhood is dog friendly with all my neighbors having dogs, who at times get taken out for walks around our peaceful neighborhood.
About: dependable, attentive, and genuinely care about each client’s routine and comfort. I build trust quickly, communicate clearly, and go the extra mile to make sure people feel safe and at ease.” I'm retired and have a open daily routine.

About: I’ve grown up around pets and farm animals all my life. I take diligent care and will show immense compassion towards your animals. I take pride in ensuring your animals are taken care of how you expect them to be. I currently stay home with my child, and teach fitness classes early mornings. Rover will give my daughter and I an opportunity to help other families while they’re working or enjoying themselves. I prefer a list or document to go by. This ensures everything is documented and all of your needs and wants are met! In our home we let our dogs out constantly and keep their bowls full.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Arcadia
It was actually Abby, Andrea’s daughter who took care of our little guy and house sat. Abby did a great job, was very responsive before the scheduled date and while we were on vacation she communicated with me daily to let me know how Mr was doing, and included pictures. The house was clean when we returned and Mr seemed healthy and happy. Abby also watered our outdoor plants while we were gone. I would definitely recommend Abby to anyone needing her services.
Andrea and Abby are great. I received updates and pictures letting me know what my pup was up to. Typically Darcy is very anxious and doesn’t eat well when we’re not home, but she ate great while we were gone, so I know she was comfortable. I highly recommend Andrea and Abby anytime you need someone to care for your fur baby.

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.
