“I booked Chelsea for the first time to go on a camping trip where I wouldn’t have service. After meeting her I was super confident in her abilities to care for Benny and was not disappointed. Great communication through out the entire trip and I could tell Benny was enjoying his time with her. She left my place exactly how she found it and could tell Benny came away with another friend. I would highly recommend Chelsea to anyone 😊”
“We’ve worked with Grace multiple times and she always does such a great job with Laney! It’s a huge relief knowing we can go out of town without worrying about her. Grace is lovely to work with and always sends lots of pho and updates of their adventures together!”
“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.”
About: Hi, I'm Kristine! I've cared for my dog Dash for over a year, loving him like one of my kids, and I've looked after friends' pets for 10 years. We live in Maple Valley with a fully fenced yard, and there's a beautiful nature trail right in our neighborhood — I take the dogs on daily trail walks through the woods, so your pup gets fresh air, exercise, and plenty of sniffing time. I follow your feeding and house rules, and I send photo updates all day so you always know how they're doing! I’m flexible in schedule and can work on same day sitting. I walk dogs at least twice a day, to the natural trails and in the community. Welcome to inquire about the schedule. We live in a house with fully fenced backyard, and we have a walking trail right next to the community, we walk our dog in the trail daily and take great care of them.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs ranging in all size and age since I was a teen. I’ve taken care of cats as well 1-3 at a time. Currently working full time but happy to help with pets used to that, my schedule is 11 am to 7:30 pm so that we can plan accordingly I will care for your pet at your house in whatever way you deem fit, whether that means crating or multiple walks a day. Whatever your pet does best with!
“Katie is a great house sitter and took wonderful care of our home. She's super responsive and kept us informed the whole time about our pets. When we got back our pets were relaxed and happy and we couldn't be happier.”
“Casey is amazing! She watched my kitten while I was out of town and took excellent care of her. Great communication. I felt at ease the entire time I was away. She left my home spotless. Highly recommend! It’s so nice to have someone you trust in your home with your pets.”
“Samantha was absolutely wonderful with our dogs. From the moment she arrived, she brought such calm, kind energy that both pups connected with her right away. She kept us updated throughout her stay with thoughtful messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She followed every routine we shared, paid close attention to their personalities and needs, and made sure they felt safe, loved, and comfortable the entire time. We came home to happy dogs and a tidy house — truly the best feeling. We are so grateful for her care and professionalism. Samantha is dependable, compassionate, and clearly loves what does. We will be booking her again.”
“Brandy is awesome!! It was my first time using a Rover and Brandy made the experience so easy and great. Got lots of pictures of my dogs looking very happy and loved on. Will happily work with her again in the future. Thanks Brandy!”
“It is such a comfort to know that when I have to be away from my puppers, there is someone dependable, reliable, and genuinely invested in their well-being. Christian goes above and beyond to build a relationship with my dog and make him feel cared for while I'm gone. He is incredibly patient with my whiny 140-pound canine baby, and I am so grateful for the care and attention he provides. Knowing my dog is in such good hands gives me real peace of mind. Highly recommend!”
“As usual, Isabel is great! She always takes great care of my 3 dogs and sends me pictures and updates every day. As a pet parent, I feel so grateful that I found someone I can trust while I am gone. My dogs love her :) Highly recommend!”
“Fawn was amazing. I can’t recommend her enough. We have a dog with behavioral issues that also takes medication everyday, she handled it so well. We were gone for over a week and not once did I feel uncomfortable, nervous or anxious. We will definitely be booking with Fawn again. THE BEST!”
About: I have been a dog person since birth! I love all and any dogs. I had my own for 18 years and since his passing have been actively fostering dogs with different rescue organizations. I’d consider myself well experienced with four legged friends. I have a fenced in yard and love to lay or play. I am a nanny as well so I am caring and patient. People say I am reliable and punctual. I will snuggle, take naps, run around the yard, and just pet the daylight out of your pup. I have experience with gentle leaders, prong collars, putting on harnesses, crate training, reactive dogs, and muzzles. I feel confident I can take care of your family member when you are away at work or vacation or just need a little break :) I am currently taking time off work so my schedule is open! Available during the day for walks or day care or overnights or drop ins :) I have a fenced in yard. I have crates at my house already in all different sizes and dog beds and dog toys since I foster dogs I follow the rules of the pet owner, but I allow dogs on my furniture and in my bed so if the pet owner allows, the pet is more than welcome to snuggle :-)
“Shelby did an amazing job. My GSD doesn’t always like new people but when Shelby arrived she ran to get her ball for play. Would definitely recommend Shelby for house/dog sitting.”
“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!”
About: I have been pet sitting for 3 years now and want to make a future out of it. Any experience helps me ensure that my veterinary technician career pathway is tangible! I am completely free in availability- although I may be busy during the day doing my volunteering at my local cat clinic! My schedule fluctuates within a wide range, but is usually only during 2 days of the week. I have a fenced yard and two cats that I groom and take care of myself. I have had both of them for about 2 years now and they are the healthiest; cutest cats you’d ever meet!
“Dianna was excellent with my 10-day post-op angry scared-y cat. Nigel was recovering from surgery and still needed medicine while I was away. He was stressed to be left alone and gets upset and aggressive when he is handled, but Dianna met him on his level and was very patient with him. She helped him get comfortable with her at his own pace and didn’t force him. She even managed to get him to take his medicine! Dianna was very communicative through all of it and let me know about Nigel’s struggles and successes throughout the weekend. I would absolutely recommend Dianna!”

Lily was awesome! She took excellent care of our senior and young dog, who are equally sweet but have very different energy levels. She was prompt, attentive, and so kind--and even left my home cleaner than she found it! She provided daily updates and had great communication all around. We feel so fortunate to have found such a friendly and trustworthy sitter! Will definitely book with 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!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Arcadia is $53 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $66 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 November 2026, there are 7,314 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:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
