“Rocio has been so amazing! Rocio was absolutely incredible with my dogs! She kept me updated with photos and messages throughout the day, which gave me so much peace of mind. I would definitely book with Rocio again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter!”
“Marci is the best! She watched my four dogs overnight in my home. She brings calm to the dogs and to me. She sent plenty of pupdates, she’s puntual, a great communicator and cate taker. She also took great care of our home.”
“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.”

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.
“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!”
“Elena watched our dog and cat while we were out of town for the first time after a major move and both animals were so relaxed! She sent tons and tons of updates and videos which was very reassuring and gave us peace of mind while being away.”
“Chelsea was a wonderful house sitter. She took excellent care of Oreo and my home. She sent regular updates and was willing to help with weekly trash pickup when I forgot to put my cans out before leaving. I will absolutely be checking with Chelsea first next time I need a sitter for my sweet senior girl!”
“Hailey is one of the best pet sitters we’ve ever had! She kept us updated both day and night on how our babies were doing while we were out of the country. I’ve never felt more peaceful on a trip, and that was all due to Hailey being the one staying with our pets. She is very thoughtful, and truly goes above and beyond in caring for your animals. I would not hesitate to book her again!”
About: I am a dog lover. I grew up with dogs and have 5 of my own they are all rescue babies! My babies would would say they are spoiled to death. “ I say I live and work for them.” I become mama bear when it comes to my babies. I would do the same for yours. My babies are all different ages from 3 to 9 years old. I would give them the same love and treats the way I do with my own. Pets hold a very special place in my heart. I am available mostly nights and weekends. I work full time until 4. I am available most federal holidays as well with the type of work I do. I would come to your home to care for your baby so they are comfortable in their surroundings.I know how it feels when you take them out of their environment. I have experience with my own dogs and I made a decision not to do that. Being in normal environment will be less stressful when people need them to be watched. Less stress happy fur baby.
“Jacob was the perfect sitter for us! He sent daily photo updates of Dino and took him on multiple "outings" daily. Dino is a highly motivated and energetic dog that requires a lot of attention - Jacob had no difficulty fulfilling his needs. He maintained great communication with us throughout our trip so we knew our boy was well taken care of during our trip. When we arrived home, he also had kept our house clean and organized! We will definitely use Jacob again for any future needs :)”
About: I grew up with a dog and have always loved being around them. I also have experience dog sitting for a friend, including staying overnight to care for her dogs while she was away. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, and giving them plenty of attention and company! I’m currently an online college student and work part-time, so I have a pretty flexible schedule. I’m available throughout the week and am happy to work with you to find times that fit your pet’s normal routine! I’ll make sure to follow any instructions you leave for your pets and keep their normal routine as much as possible. I’ll give them plenty of attention, playtime, and care while making sure they’re safe and comfortable in their own home.
“Jessica was great! She made sure everything went smoothly and my dog seemed to have a good time while I was away. Thankful for her quick response at the last minute to come stay at the house with my puppy.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs. I have experience caring for puppies and elderly dogs. I have an Aussie doodle puppy. I’m available for drop ins, walks, or sittings. I have a flexible schedule and will be available the majority of the day to care of your pets. If I have to leave during boardings, it will be only for short periods of times which will be communicated to you. I live in an apartment with plenty of space and a dog park. There is a nice neighborhood and park nearby for walks. For sittings at your home, I will respect your space and keep it clean. I have a puppy at home, so I am unable to stay at your home overnight. I will update you with as many photos or videos you’d like!
“Kate was great! Our dog, Rufus, warmed up to her right away and seemed very happy. Kate kept in touch over the weekend and sent photos and updates. It was very easy to relax knowing Rufus was in good hands. Will definitely book again! Thanks, Kate!”
About: Hello, my name is Elizabeth I've always wanted to care for animals since I was 5yrs old. My first pet was a German shepherd/pitbull mix, he was my best friend. I'm a graduate from Ross medical education center in Huntsville,AL. I'm a certified vet assistant. I'm able to administer medication, change bandaging, and care for pets who are recovering from surgery. I have a passion for animals and making sure they're taken care of, is my number one priority. I will offer constant playtime and personal time for those that need it. I will also offer frequent potty breaks throughout the day, accompanied with water and shade. I'm not afraid of big dogs even if they're bigger than me. I love dogs of all sizes. I work at an emergency animal hospital in Greensboro. I work from 10pm to 8am Sunday-Thursday. I'm able to fit walks and home visits in between getting off work before having to clock back in later that night. Since I am a certified Vet Assistant and have extensive knowledge and experience in the vet med field, I can assure you your fur babies are safe with me.
“Kim is a wonderful sitter, and we were very comfortable leaving our pups with her. Our dogs each have their own behavioral quirks, and she wasn’t fazed as at. She communicated really well while we were out of town and our dogs were happy and healthy when we got back. Thanks Kim!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Arcadia
Absolute perfection! I have a feral cat that I feed outside and she took right to Jenny! Even my neighbors who see her all the time can't get anywhere near her and she jumped right up and ate for Jenny. My finicky cat inside also took to her and slept in the bed with her. And she treated my dog like royalty.

The average cost of House Sitting in Arcadia is $43 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $34 and $98 per night.

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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
