“Sidney was awesome we needed someone last minute as our original pet sitter backed out and she really helped us out. We could t really tell her an end time and she wasn’t worried about it. Our buy is 16 and takes a little extra care and she really did awesome with him. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and friendly person to watch your pet!!!!!”
“Becky and Joel took such great care of my baby! Having a disabled dog, I get so nervous leaving him. When I met Becky and Joel, I knew they would treat him with all of the care and kindness possible. And they did just that! I am so grateful to have someone I feel confident will love my baby just like I do. I will most definitely be utilizing their services again in the near future!”
“Tatum was great with our pups! We met with her beforehand so she could get to know our boys and their routine. She sent us pictures everyday while we were away and kept us updated on everything that was going on! Would absolutely love to have her watch our pups again!”
About: Hi, I’m Talisa. Whether your dog needs a high-energy game of fetch, a relaxing neighborhood stroll, or round-the-clock love while you’re away, I’m here to treat them like family. I have 37 years of experience caring for pets of all shapes, sizes, and personalities including energetic puppies, gentle seniors, and dogs with special routines. My main priority is keeping your pup happy, safe, and comfortable, all while giving you complete peace of mind with regular updates and plenty of photos. I can't wait to meet your furry best friend! I'm not employed and have plenty of time to spend with your fur babies. Whatever their routine is or schedule is I got you, your fur babies are in good hands. I do my best to make them feel at home by recommending that you bring something from your own home like their toys and their beds, so they feel more at home.
“We loved getting text updates informing us of everything and receiving pictures of our babies! One of our pups wasn’t feeling great and Neysha took amazing care of her needs. We couldn’t be happier!! 10/10 will be working with her again for all future needs!!”
“Jesika did so great with our Buzz! She was very loving and patient with him and constantly kept me updated. She was also very flexible with our travel schedule and considerate of our home.”
“Sarah took such great care of our pups! It means a lot to know you can trust someone to take care of your fur babies while you’re away. Will definitely reach out again for dog sitting when we need it.”
About: I’m a 21‑year‑old college student with experience caring for dogs, cats, and puppies, offering reliable routines, patient support, and attentive, loving care for every pet. As a full‑time college student who only serves one night a week, I have early mornings and night flexibility to give your pets consistent, attentive care. I’ve grown up with many cats and cared for dogs of all ages, including pets with medical needs. In clients’ homes, I follow their routines closely—feeding, playtime, litter or potty breaks, meds if required, and plenty of attention. I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and relaxed by maintaining the environment and habits they’re used to.
About: . I’ve been around, loved, cared for dogs and cats for most of my life. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets. I also had a toy poodle who was my baby for 12 years before she passed away last October. I know firsthand how hard it can be to find someone affordable who you can truly trust to be patient, gentle, and loving with your pet. I’m hoping to be that person for someone else. I genuinely miss having that companionship in my life, so your fur babies will get lots of love and attention while they’re with me. I’ll treat them with the same care and affection I would want someone to give my own. I’m a recent college graduate currently studying for law school, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I’m available throughout the day, every day. I will follow your directions to a T and be every vigilant when it comes to your animals just how I would like someone to care for mine.
About: I’ve grown up with animals all my life and find joy in ensuring they live their best lives. I haven’t found one that I don’t like or doesn’t like me! In my home or under my care I promise your pet will receive the best treatment. I’m currently working part time therefore I have plenty of time to take care of your animals as they need! I am open to boarding over the weekends and I’m flexible in my schedule! I live in an apartment complex that has a wonderful dog park on site! I do not have animals in my home, so if your pet does not do well with other animals or needs more one-on-one attention then I’m your girl!
About: I’ve taken care of my neighbors dogs for about 2 years. I currently have 2 cats and have had them for a year. I volunteered at a pet hospital where I observed operations. I am currently working part time so I will have time to to care for your pets during the mornings. I am free most days of the week. I have 2 cats who are very fond of dogs. They have a catio so they are usually on the balcony. For your dog I can easily make them a space to play as well.
About: I am 27, I’ve had pets since I was a child and have always felt such great connection to them. Pets big and small, I love them all, I currently have 2 dogs of my own who I love to be with, and have become my entire personality trait and I would love share some of my care and love for animals by caring for your pet as well. I make sure to give each fur baby my undivided attention when they are in my care. As someone who loves to travel, I know firsthand the importance in finding someone trustworthy caring for your pets while you are away. I currently work for an Airline so I have a pretty flexible schedule on most days. My schedule with my job does change monthly but overall I am pretty available to afternoons. I have my own home and can provide lots of roam free space for dogs, my yard unfortunately is not fenced in but I will always be outside with the animals and be watching them at all times.
About: I have my dog since he was a puppy, he is 9 years old now. As a dog owner and cats, I don’t mind to babysit the other owner pets when they are busy. I currently work from home allowing to have time to spend caring for your pet. I am excited to spend time with your pets. We will go on daily walks and I will work to maintain their routines from home while you are away from your furry friend. I have a spacious fenced in yard where I can take your pets to safely play. My home has an extra pet room that they can have for themselves during their stay.

About: I’ve had several pets over my entire life, and truly believe a pet makes a home. I have experience pet sitting for family and friends, and want to expand my care to your fur babies. I am only focused on cat-sitting 🐈⬛!! I have experience taking care of kitties, adult cats, and cats who require medication on a schedule. I am no stranger to a dirty litter box and will make sure that your cats have a clean space to do their business; sicknesses in cats can be caught early in the litter box so i’ll be very attentive to any abnormalities. *My calendar is updated frequently. My schedule is flexible and can be adjusted to your pet care needs, please reach out for any questions!! I have an open schedule, for weekdays and weekends. I am also available during holiday season. I have online college classes, but they do not require me to show up in person meaning I can be with your pets anytime! All cats are different, and their owners know them best, so I will follow your instructions and take care of your kitties the way you would! I will be respectful of you and your cat's home and will prioritize respecting your kitties' boundaries to hopefully establish a strong connection with them.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Arcadia is $46 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $43 and $55 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.
As of October 2026, there are 1,396 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 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:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
