“Alexis is very good with my dog, Nola. She keeps me informed throughout her stay to make me comfortable and I have no worries about Nola while I am away. I would recommend her to any.”
“Our pups and home were so well taken care of during our weekend away. Came home to happy, content campers. Chelsea was communicative and shared lots of photos and updates of how everyone was while we were gone. Will definitely have her pup sit for us again!”
“Eleanor was great: communicative, responsible, and good with our boys (obviously a kind person with big dog experience). She came over for a meet and greet prior to the sit and showed up early day of for the pass off. She was also neat and respectful of our home, even washing the sheets and remaking the bed prior to departing!”
“I have put my life on hold for a long time, but leaving my fur babies with anyone is always stressful. However, Elena is a breath of fresh air! She is truly amazing, and I felt at ease with her immediately. Elena is very communicative and sends cute photos to check in regularly. Marley recently lost her brother and has been feeling depressed. The bonus is that Elena has a 2-year-old Shih Tzu/Poodle named Lava, whom we introduced to Marley during a meet and greet. They got along so well that Lava gets to babysit too! I hope this new friendship will help bring Marley out of her shell and support her through the grieving process. I cannot say enough great things about Elena. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring dog nanny who may even teach their fur baby a trick or two! Lava does backward handstands on command so definitely talk to her about dog training, which is a passion of hers.”
“Gianna was fantastic! We have a fairly high needs bully breed and she was great with him. Between medication, walks, and high energy, all of his needs were met! Highly recommended!”
“Katelynn is a sweet and thoughtful sitter! She was very respectful of finding ways to help with our homecoming. She kept us informed and updated photos very well. Katelynn has a gift with animals and is missed at our home.”
“Janine did a great job watching our two dogs. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about them. It gave us peace of mind knowing they were in good hands, and they were happy and well cared for when we got back. We’d definitely trust Janine to watch them again and highly recommend her.”
“Kate was very good at communicating quickly! Our dogs were well taken care of and seemed to have a good time with her watching them! She went above and beyond and watered our outdoor potted flowers to keep them thriving in the hot summer. We will definitely choose to book her again!”
“Christian has looked after our cats for years now and there’s no one we trust more. He always makes sure their feeding, medicine, and nighttime routines are followed. And he makes sure to send pictures and videos for us to see what cute shenanigans they’re up to. He’ll always be our first call when we need our four-legged babies looked after whether it be days, weeks, or months.”
“We came home to a happy pup and a tidy home after Katie house sat for our dog! Katie is awesome and was so good with Calvin. We will definitely have her watch our dog in the future and would highly recommend her for house sitting and other Rover services.”
“Samantha was great! She arrived right on time, kept the house very clean, and sent daily texts to keep us informed of the fun her and our dog had. Highly recommend and will use her again!”
“Ardelia was amazing with Bella! She was incredibly communicative throughout my trip and kept me updated with the cutest photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. I came home to a happy, well- cared-for pup, and it was clear Bella was in great hands. I’ll definitely be booking with Ardelia again. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs, mostly Pit Bulls, and have always been comfortable caring for and being around them. I also cared for my own dog for over a year after getting her when she was around 6 months old. She had a difficult past and had already had puppies at a very young age, so she needed extra patience, trust, and consistency. I worked with her and taught her basic commands, and she became very responsive to me. I’m currently available for pet care any day and at flexible times throughout the week. Starting August 31, I’ll be attending school Monday through Friday from 1:30 PM to 5:30 PM. Outside of those hours, I’ll still have plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins, sitting, and other pet care needs. My school schedule is consistent each day, so I’m able to plan my availability reliably around it. I treat every pet in my care like they are my own. I want them to feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owner is away. I make sure they are fed on their normal schedule, have fresh water, get their walks and exercise, and have plenty of playtime and attention. I also enjoy playing with their favorite toys and getting to know their personality and routine. I understand that some pets may take a little time to warm up to someone new, so I’m patient and let them get comfortable with me at their own pace.
“Truly a gem! Masele was a perfect match for my senior rescue dog and gave her the extra TLC she needed. We are new to the area, I travel frequently for work, and Masele calmed my anxiety about leaving my pup so soon. In addition to Sadie being in well cared for, my home was spotless!! I’ve already sent Masele a rebooking request.”
About: I had a dog for over 13 years, i took care of her when she was a puppy and needed training to when she was a senior and needed help getting up the stairs. I care for young and senior dogs, i can give my experience with senior animals and provide guidance with new puppies in the household. I love walking dogs and would love to help out in any way i can! I’m a student that only has class two times a week, so my schedule is very flexible. I’m very easy going when it comes to schedule changes and love to provide my help at any time its convenient for any animal owners! When i had my dog, i always made sure that she got the best care. When it came to here medicine, food, exercise, she always got the best. I always make sure to give dogs the exercise they need and i’m happy to pass that along to other families! My 13 years of experience with having a dog makes me experience with how to deal with a dogs health, the love they need, etc. I hope to be able to transfer my love for dogs to others!

Eleanor had great communication and was super prompt. She asked good questions at the meet and greet and my dogs were super chill and relaxed when I came home. She was also fantastic about helping me work through a last minute reschedule which was above and beyond. I am super excited to have found her and will def be using her again.
We have a very anxious and timid dog that can be challenging, Gianna was able to handle it excellently, even with a last minute addition of doing ear drops on said challenging dog. Additionally, she left our place cleaner than we left it and would recommend her to anyone.
Kate was very good at communicating quickly! Our dogs were well taken care of and seemed to have a good time with her watching them! She went above and beyond and watered our outdoor potted flowers to keep them thriving in the hot summer. We will definitely choose to book her again!
This was my first time booking with Julia and she did a great job taking care of my dogs. She was very quick at responding to my messages, updated me on the dogs, and sent me daily pictures. I knew my dogs were in great hands the whole time we were gone. Would definitely have her watch my dogs again!
Ardelia was amazing with Bella! She was incredibly communicative throughout my trip and kept me updated with the cutest photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. I came home to a happy, well- cared-for pup, and it was clear Bella was in great hands. I’ll definitely be booking with Ardelia again. Highly recommend!
Once again Dawn took wonderful care of our 3 dogs. She followed all instructions for their care. They love being with her. She is always punctual, an excellent communicator and reliable. The house was clean and tidy upon our return. We highly recommend Dawn to anyone!
Sean was awesome. He and my dog did great. I appreciated the walks and play time he spent with Beuford. Sean stayed at my house and we were completely comfortable with him being there. He communicated clearly with us all through the process. I was able to be totally relaxed because I knew my dog was in good hands!
Mia did a great job for us. The animals loved her. Great personality and very reliable. We’ve had our fair share of average sitters, and Mia was well beyond expectations. Fantastic communication. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for the perfect sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Arcadia on Rover is $46.62 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 7,543 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
