“Sydney was so great with our cat! This was our first time leaving our cat for an extended period of time, and Sydney always sent photos with each visit and let us know how our cat was doing. Sydney was also super flexible with us too. If we ever needed a cat sitter again, I would want to book Sydney again!”

“Barrie was great in providing prolonged drop-in service for over 19 scheduled visits. This was a very long period for me to leave my family member with, in the care of someone other than relatives. I could tell that Barrie had my pets best interest in mind and that my cat Smudge trusted her and responded to her kindness.”

“Jeffrey has been a terrific dog keeper for my 2 dogs every week for 7 months. He is exceptionally friendly and conscientious and has kept me well informed about each dog’s interaction with him. His love of animals is obvious and my 2 dogs thrived in his care. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of daily assistance in caring for their pets.”

About: I’ve been around and caring for dogs my entire life and am also very comfortable caring for cats. I have experience with pets of different sizes, ages, breeds, and personalities, and I’m comfortable with the everyday responsibilities of pet care, including feeding, walks, playtime, litter box care, bathing, and keeping pets on their usual routines. My own dog requires a little extra care, which has given me experience with pets who have special needs. I regularly manage multiple medications, help with mobility by carrying my dog up and down stairs, and make sure they’re comfortable and safe throughout the day. Because of this, I understand that some pets need a little more patience, attention, or assistance than others. I’m happy to follow detailed care instructions and take the time to learn what makes each pet feel comfortable. Whether your dog is energetic and loves going for walks, your cat prefers some quiet company, or your pet needs extra help with their daily routine, I’ll give them the care and attention they deserve. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away! 🐾 I have a very flexible schedule with plenty of daytime and evening availability throughout the week. I’m able to accommodate different routines and am happy to work around your pet’s needs. I also have flexibility for walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays! I want every pet I care for to feel safe, comfortable, and loved! I’ll always follow your instructions and try to keep your pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible, whether that means sticking to their feeding schedule, going on their usual walks, giving medications, or keeping up with any special care they need. I’m patient with pets and understand that some take a little longer to warm up to new people. I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, supervision, and of course, lots of love! I also know Pet CPR, so I’m prepared to stay calm and know what to do if an emergency ever comes up. When I’m caring for pets in your home, I’ll treat your space with the same care and respect I’d want someone to have in my own home. I’ll also send you plenty of updates and pictures while you’re away so you can know your pet is doing well and getting lots of love!

About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my patience, dependability, and genuine love for animals. I understand that every pet has its own personality, needs, and routine, and I always do my best to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. Whether it's going on walks, playing, feeding, or simply providing companionship, I am dedicated to giving each pet the attention and care they deserve. I am also very responsible, attentive to detail, and great at following instructions, so pet owners can feel confident knowing their furry friends are in good hands! Im currently in school so I am available all day during the weekend Friday, Saturday and Sunday, but only after 4pm on Mondays and Wednesdays When caring for pets in a client's home, I make it a priority to keep them comfortable by following their normal routines and schedules. I ensure they are fed on time, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise and playtime, and receive lots of attention and affection. I also make sure their environment stays clean and safe. I understand how important it is for pets to feel comfortable while their owners are away, so I treat every home and pet with the same care, respect, and responsibility I would my own. I am happy to follow any specific instructions or routines to make sure each pet receives the best care possible.

About: I have had dogs since a very young age and learned how to take care of them! Friends and Family let me take care of their pets because I am responsible. I am constantly around animals, and I am very comfortable around all kinds of dogs and am willing to learn how to best take care of your pet. When I come to take care of, play with, and walk your pet I come to dedicate my time to loving and spending time with them. I would love to be able to take them to the dog park, where they can also socialize with other animals while your away! I am currently a full-time student at the University of South Carolina. My daily schedule is pretty open allowing me to drop in or house sit during the week when needed! I am also flexible and can accept last minute bookings. When in your home, I would love to take your fur babies for walks, to the dog park, and anything you already do with them to make them the most comfortable!

About: Animals have always been a part of my life—from growing up with my sweet chocolate lab, Jessie, to now being a proud cat mom to Sir Purr and Smore. I’ve cared for pets at every stage of life, from playful puppies to senior cats and dogs, and I’ve learned so much from the pets of family members and neighbors along the way. For the past few years, I’ve been pet sitting for close family friends, and it’s something I truly love. Whether your pet needs extra playtime, gentle cuddles, or just a reliable routine, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. Your furry friends will be treated like family—because to me, they are! I’m currently working part-time so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your fur babies! I’m available for evenings and overnights on weekdays and available all weekends ! I offer reliable in-home pet care services including drop-ins, overnight stays, playtime, walks, and grooming. While I don’t have a yard, I have my own transportation and am more than happy to come to you. I follow your pet’s routine, provide personalized attention, and ensure a safe, comfortable, and loving environment while you're away. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority, and I strive to create a stress-free experience for both you and your furry friend!

Deonna took great care of our special needs German Shepherd, who’s a lot of work. She was so kind and patient with our girl, and we hope to have Deonna take care of our baby again when we travel. Also, she got the BEST pictures and video of her to send to us while we were away 😆💛

Meghan was perfect. This was our first time working together. She accepted my last-minute booking, and was available for a meet and greet as well. My cat liked Meghan and vice versa! Meghan performed all the check-ins on time and sent fun reports and pix. I will definitely be happy to book with her again.

On short notice, I was able to get Aaron to watch my housemate and friend for an extended visit this time. Once again, I came back to a happy cat - of course for the first 12 hours he meowed at me at how good Aaron was and why did I come back ... he loves his spa service: daily fresh litter box, water and food.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Arcadia Lakes

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Arcadia Lakes is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $21 per visit. 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 1,114 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Arcadia Lakes. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Arcadia Lakes. On Rover:

  • 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.

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.
