About: I’ve been with dogs my whole life. I started taking care of others dogs in the neighborhood when I was 11 and fell in love with it ever since. I’m reliable, consistent and very flexible. I have trained my dog and three other dogs basic training to advanced training. I’m currently working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I am available on weekdays if requested. I can take your pup on a walk or even spend the night with your pup so they sleep good, I would be able to stay at your place to give your paw friend some company! I will make sure they are well behaved. The proper food will be served to your puppy and proper exercise for each dog! I will follow your recommendations and special requests.
“We needed someone to take care of our 8 weeks old puppy who we just brought home. Kiera helped us in a very short notice as my wife had to go for a surgery. She took time to meet us before and discussed all the details. On the day she sent pictures time to time and updated about our puppy's status. It was a great help and our puppy liked her. We will definitely take her help in future. We appreciate all help and highly recommend her.”
“Michael took great care of our dog and cat for several days. He was very prompt with responding to messages. He also left our place neat and tidy. I would ask for him to sit again.”
“Casey was a great sitter! She was very communicative, and most importantly, our dogs seemed super relaxed when we came home. It was clear she had spent a lot of time with them and made them feel cared for and loved. We will definitely use her again!”
“Stacy was our savior for a last minute booking! She was so wonderful with our animals (2 dogs and 1 cat). She took excellent care of them and our house and was great at communicating with us over her stay. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Adaira was wonderful! She took great care of my fur babies while I was away. I could tell they were well cared for. I will definitely have her watch them again when I travel. Highly recommend!”
“Hannah is always very quick to respond and provides plenty of pupdates. She makes it easy to relax while on trips because we know our dogs and home are well taken care of.”
“Denisse is a wonderful, down to earth, gentle person. My two dogs and were well loved and cared for while we were gone. They all seemed happy and healthy upon our return. Would book again!”
“Chloe did an amazing job with 5+ animals and our home! Her communication was consistent and everyone was happy and settled when we returned home! Will definitely try to get Chloe whenever we can!”
“James is a joy. He took great care of the dogs and our home. We came home to a clean and tidy home. He took care of everything we had asked him to do and would highly recommend him again”

About: I have been taking care of other people's animals since middle school and just love getting to know your pets! Experience with dogs, cats, horses, chickens, goats, and fish! Willing to take on pets with medical needs! I work 40 hours over 5 days days a week. I am typically away from the house from 9 am - 5 pm or 11 am - 7 pm. Depending on your location, I may be able to pop back to the house on my short lunch break. I am comfortable walking your animals on leashes, pushing them in strollers, using a treadmill, playing with them in the yard, or whatever else is your routine and preference!
“Constance is a great pet sitter! I really appreciated her sending daily videos, photos, and updates on how our cat and new German Shepherds were doing. It made vacation so much more enjoyable not worrying about the pets. Constance also cleaned and left our house spotless. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future.”
About: I've grown up with several cats. My best friend and the love of my life is a tabby cat I've had since I was 12 years old. I didn't have a dog growing up but I frequently cared for my neighbors Great Pyrenees. My first dog as an adult was a rescue coonhound mix and my current dog is a purebred Redbone Coonhound. I live in an apartment with 2 cats and a dog. I work part time at Food Lion, but I'm wanting to be a full-time pet sitter. Humans are too complicated for me. Plus it gives me the opportunity to spend more time with my dog! I live in an apartment but I'm very active. I utilize all the trails and parks in the area and I bring along my buddy Cheeto, a foster Redbone Coonhound who loves other dogs, as well as my new puppy!
“Natasha was very patient with our dog while he adjusted to the new person in the house. She provided multiple updates daily, worked with the schedule we had provided her, and even volunteered to stay a little longer on the last day to help keep our boy calm during some thunderstorms that rolled in before we got home; we’ll definitely be using her again!”
“I would happily recommend Kate to anyone looking for a house sitter for their fur babies!! She takes amazing care of our two older cats and high energy dog! We get several updates every day which I really appreciate. Not only that but she takes great care of our home - she's very respectful and thoughtful. Highly recommend!!!”
“Laura was amazing!! This was our first time using Laura’s services; she was professional, compassionate, and loving towards our dogs! They both loved her!! Laura also left our house spotless and took care of the house as if it were her own! We will definitely use Laura again!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Arden is $60
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Arden
Kate is an amazing sitter! She took such great care of our 2 Great Danes while we were traveling. She sent lots of photo updates and we could tell they were in good hands with her. Our youngest dog Frankie, who is shy to warm up to new people, absolutely loved her and snuggled up with her on day one. You immediately get the sense that Kate is passionate about caring for animals and is caring for yours like she does her own. We will definitely be booking with her in the future!
I have two little chi-mixes that are super fearful and timid and I was so nervous to leave them for the first time. Chloe came for a meet and greet and immediately put me at ease; she was kind, peaceful, professional and empathetic. Chloe also graciously allowed me to write a novel of care instructions without blinking an eye; she catered to my babies like they were her own and sent me so many pictures. I could not believe my girls adjusted so well; I was amazed and relieved. Not only did Chloe take them for walk every day, bathe them and love them, she left the house cleaner than I left it! She cleaned the sheets, made the bed, and took care of everything. If you are a paranoid dog Mom and feel guilt when leaving your babies then Chloe is the right sitter for you. Chloe truly has a gift with dogs and for putting nerves at ease for dog parents. Chloe is the BEST.
This was a last minute booking and we are thankful we were able to make reservations. Axios was great with our pups. He communicated often and ensured we were updated on anything new going on with them. He left the house spotless after a week of being there. We will be booking with him again! Thanks!
Krista was great w our pups! We have a Jack Russell who is select with people he likes and dislikes. He was calm and comfy with Krista which allowed us to enjoy our time away. Krista was great with our beagle too.! We look forward to using Krista’s services again :)
Susan was great! She stepped in last minute despite having a full schedule, and I couldn’t have been more grateful. Over my 3-day trip, she sent thorough end-of-day updates complete with tons of photos and detailed descriptions. I never had a single worry while I was away. She also handled my animals’ various medications without a hitch, which gave me so much peace of mind. All three of my pets were happy and clearly well cared for both in the pictures and when I got home. I would absolutely book with Susan again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and communicative pet sitter!
Amy was fantastic! She took excellent care of our aging french bulldog over Thanksgiving. He required an ER visit on Thanksgiving day and Amy spent the entire day with him never leaving his side. She was very attentive and caring during her stay with him and feel totally comfortable using her again. I highly recommend using her for your pets' care.
Emily was wonderful to have in my home taking care of my old dog. She was attentive to all my instruction and I could tell my dog was happy with each check-in. The pictures sent were fun and my home was well taken care of when I returned. I will definitely be having Emily back to help when needed.
We were so lucky to have Thomas take care of our dogs and cat while we were away. He is definitely a 10 out of 10 for us. He was name to give our cat eye ointment and syringe-fed medicine, to patiently working with one of our more challenging pups, behavioral wise. His sensitivity to animal behavior and calm, attentive approach really stood out. Thomas was also incredibly communicative, sending frequent updates and plenty of pictures that gave us total peace of mind. He was flexible, reliable, and exceeded our expectations in every way. We couldn’t recommend him more highly — our pets adored him, and so did we!
Heather is a great pet and home sitter! She really attached herself to our aging frenchie and was able to deal with all of his medications as well as care and love for an older dog. She bent over backwards to accommodate his and our needs. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to take care of their pet which typically is really another family member!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Arden on Rover is $53.11 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 716 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Arden. 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 Arden 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 Arden 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 Arden 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Arden. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
