“Marionna took such great care of our girls! She sent us photos of them looking happy. She played a lot with our high energy girl. She went above and beyond with their care. I would definitely book her again.”
“Jacob is always on time to come hang out with my puppy and the puppy is always in a wonderful state when I return to him. Jacob keeps his energy and anxiety maintained with lots of exercise and needs and even asks me if I need anything before he left. Georgie always wants Jacob to stay and loved him from their first meet”
“We had an unexpected trip pop up the week before Christmas. Michelle accepted our request to pet sit even though we did not give her 24 hours notice. She came by and did a meet and greet the same day we contacted her and was taking care of our pets within 24 hours. She was very communicative and took lots of pics for us since we were nervous leaving them. We have already told Michelle that we would like to hire her for a trip this summer. She was excellent.”
About: I’ve had past nanny jobs that required me to also care for pets. I have cared for cats as well as mostly large breed dogs. I have owned two German shepherds and my current pup is young and full of energy so I am always keeping her busy and training her! I am available to provide dog walking and general dog care every day of the week except for Wednesday/Thursday. I have a flexible schedule and can provide consistent long term care for your pups :) I meet them where they are. I will ensure that they are comfortable with me and I will earn their trust before attempting to spend time with them! I will offer high protein all natural snacks (if approved by the owner) and will play with them! On walks, I will ensure that the walk is full of fun and adventure! Trying different routes, and sniffing to find treats as well :)
“Oh my goodness, I cannot believe such a wonderful wonderful person came to our life and taking care of me and my family. God bless her for being so good inside and out and so perfect and smart and she’s on time. She’s just help you with anything you need, she is therefore all of it perfect perfect lady thank you so much God for sending her to me to help me out appreciate the Rover and God and everybody else to send such a wonderful”
“Gessica was amazing!! We have 2, 4 year old boxers (siblings) that are both on meds for different medical issues and have some leash reactivity. She handled them both with ease and was very communicative throughout our 10 day trip overseas. They took to her easily, we received updates and photos often, and she wasn’t afraid to reach out with questions and concerns . Our house and our babies were well taken care of. By coincidence, Gessica lives in our neighborhood and works from home which was a huge plus for us. We will definitely be booking her again for future trips.”
“I highly recommend Aiden. Not only did he accommodate my last-minute booking after I received a cancellation notice from another house sitter, but it was immediately clear when I returned home that my dogs and kitty were extremely well cared for during my absence. I received multiple updates from Aiden throughout my trip, and he followed my detailed instructions for pet care and was sure to let me know when he had a question. I will definitely be using Aiden for future trips!”
“Katie is reliable and professional . Provides consistent updates and goes above and beyond to make your time away as worry free as possible. Katie took great care of our dogs and home.”
“Brooke did well with my sweet three. We were gone for 3 nights my dogs seemed to like her in the short time we had to find a sitter. Usually it takes one of my dogs awhile to warm up to a new face. Things looked great when we got home. Received a few pics which is always nice to get.”
About: I’ve taken care of many different types of dogs. I have had dogs my whole life and taken care of many pets of my friends or people in my hometown. I was consistently walking dogs this past summer. I have also taken care of dogs with medical needs. I have class for a few hours Monday through Thursday. Only one class per day so a pet won’t be alone for long at all. I frequently walk and run so a pet to join would be so fun. I am available really any time to take care of or hang out with a a pet. I am able to walk and run pets often. I can care for pets with medical needs. I don’t have a year but I can take the pets outside on a leash or an enclosed designated pet area. I can care for pets inside your home however needed.
About: Being in my mid twenties I find myself looking for someone I can give my attention and affection to! I’ve relied on dogs to give me that emotional energy because they are so calming and innocent. I went to college and now work a corporate job! I have tons of free time so on my off days I work at Trader Joe’s and volunteer at the children’s hospital! I’m really outgoing and active! My corporate job has a unique schedule! I work Monday- Wednesday in office and off Thursday- Saturday and remote on Sunday! I also wake up at 5am and have multiple breaks during my day. I live by the Paseo which gives me the opportunity to be able to walk with dogs freely and in a space that is comfortable for them! As well I’m comfortable driving anywhere to cater for them!
About: I love all animals and have been dog sitting for a few years now. I have two dogs of my own who are so spoiled! I just recently moved here and don’t have a part time job yet, so I am available almost everyday and have a very flexible schedule. I closely follow any special care instructions you provide and always monitor dogs during playtime, meals, and walks. I’m dependable, responsive, and always happy to share updates, photos, or messages while you’re away—so you can have total peace of mind.
“Emma was very sweet to my boys. She followed instructions and took great care of them. She sent daily updates and photos with little being asked which is great. I would have her watch them again.”
About: What sets me apart? I’m basically a professional cuddle and playtime coach! Puppies? I can help with potty training and basic tricks. Senior pets? I give all the extra patience, belly rubs, and slow strolls they deserve. Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine because I love staying active, organized, and engaged with animals. Every day, I make time for walks, playtime, feeding, and cuddles, ensuring pets get the attention and exercise they need. provide loving, attentive care whether I’m in my home or yours. In a client’s home, I follow each pet’s routine closely feeding, walking, playtime, and any special instructions like medications or training exercises while keeping their space clean, comfortable, and safe. In my home, I create a cozy, pet-friendly environment with plenty of toys, attention, and structured routines so pets feel relaxed and happy. No matter the location, I make sure every pet gets lots of love, exercise, and attention, so they’re comfortable, happy, and stress free while their humans are away.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Arcadia is $44 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $50 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:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
