About: With an energetic pup of my own, I am no stranger to the needs of fur babies. Consistency is key when it comes to pet care and training. I will make sure your pups gets plenty of exercise with a walk around your local neighborhood. Each dog is unique and I will be certain to cater to your individual pets needs. But no matter what, I will be certain that each doggo gets the same loving care as if they were one of my own. I am currently very flexible in my schedule so I can offer walks or drop ins for potty breaks and daily enrichment or house sitting for more comprehensive care for your pet when you’re away! I would love to check on your fur baby if you're busy so they don't get lonely! Personally, I have my own rambunctious pup named Lila who loves treats, walks, and attention. I would treat your dog like my own in care and affection!
“Laura is wonderful! With Laura you know you pets are going to be cared for and loved. The pictures she sends and funny notes made my day and helped easy any worries. I think our dogs can't wait for us to go away so Laura will come to stay :). We will for sure be contacting Laura again to look after our dogs. Thank you so much!”
About: Hello! I specialize in caring for cats and big dogs, but I love all animals. I especially love cuddly and low energy pets. I’ve taken care of neighbors’ pets for a few years and now would like to expand my pet sitting services. I currently have two cats and have grown up with dogs as well. I’m a full time college student, currently attending night classes Monday-Wednesday. I’m available for walks and drop-ins in the morning and early afternoon on these days. Scheduling overnights on these days depend on how frequently your pets need check ins. Thursday-Sunday I’m available all day to give your pets the attention they need! Your pet’s happiness and safety is my top priority. I take the time to get to know your pets and understand what they need from my visit, whether it’s high energy playtime or cuddles and belly rubs.
“It was our first time leaving our dog for over a week and Aubrey was awesome! We went from being nervous about finding somewhere to board him or have a sitter and she instantly made us feel confident he would be well taken care of. She was very responsive, gave updates, and photos of our big guy. Our dog doesn't trust most people but he instantly warmed up to her when they met. If I could give you 10 stars I would, thank you Aubrey!”
“Very impressed with Stephanie and the care she provided for our dogs. Would highly recommend for anyone considering reaching out. She provided check ins with pictures and walked them regularly. We will be reaching out for all future dog watching needs.”
“I can't say enough good things about our recent experience with Johnna pet/house sitting for us. Johnna took the time to meet us first to make sure it would be a good fit. Our dog is a senior and Johnna was so kind and considerate of all of his needs. Her little dog Bonnie is so adorable and I think having her here made Dexter feel even more comfortable. She sent us daily updates and pictures to let us know how he was doing. She left the house spotless and even watered our outdoor plants! It was by far the best experience I have had with a pet sitter. I have already reserved another pet sitting!”

About: I loved animals since I was young and have experience caring and sitting for them, whether it be dogs or cats. I have experience dog and cat sitting for my friends and family for years, and believe every animal should get the love and respect they deserve! As a dog mom to my own Maltipoo, Mochi, I treat every pet in my care with the same love, attention, and patience as I would my own :) * I have hands on experience administering insulin injections for diabetic cats. I have experience pet sitting for my friend's cat, Kiwi, such as changing her food and water bowls, cleaning out the litter box, and making sure to follow vet specific medication and insulin routines. * I have experience walking dogs of all breeds, from small pups to larger, stronger breeds. I make sure collar and leashes are secure before walking, and I am attentive to them during and after walks. * I ensure to follow feeding schedules, dietary restrictions, and household rules to keep your pet's routine consistent! I make sure to clean and change water and food bowls, clean up messes in the backyard and/or litter boxes, engage in lots of play times, and have experience giving dog baths when requested. * I pay close attention to each pet's body language, distinct personalities, and individual energy levels to make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable. I also make sure to give speedy updates to owners with pictures and messages :) I currently have open and flexible availability and will do my best to adjust to your availability and schedule :) From mid-day walks to strict feeding times, I would be able to provide tailored pet care times. Safety and peace of mind are my top priorities. When caring for animals, I want to make sure they feel secured and well loved by double checking harnesses and collars before every walk and stay fully aware of our surroundings, adjusting my handling depending on your dog's size and energy. I also make sure to bring drinking water if requested. I also make sure all doors, gates, and windows are locked during visits so pets stay safe indoors, along with regular updates and photos during visits and/or walks!

Caroline was great with all our pets! She came by in advance to meet everyone and helped us out with a last minute booking. She did a great job with a mix of our higher energy large dog and chill cats. She was super kind and responsive during her stay, and we’ve already booked her again for another weekend - would totally recommend her for watching dogs and cats ! :)
I highly recommend Erika to anyone looking for a professional person who really knows animals and shows both competence and affection with them. Erika was in my home for two days and did an excellent job of communicating with me and taking care of my dog. I was completely worried free. I highly recommend her.
Cheryl is a sweet lady and did a great job taking care of our dog and home. She sent pictures and gave updates multiple times/day and even sent us a video! She happily did everything we asked her to do and even stayed an hour longer than requested because our dog wasn’t settling down well for bed. We highly recommend Cheryl for dog and house sitting!
Emma was a great house and pet sitter for a long 2 week trip. We received daily photos and knew our cat and dog were well loved while we were away. She was communicative and helpful when we had some ants make their way in to our house. She left the house very clean! Would recommend Emma for your pet sitting needs
Bailey's first weekend with a pet sitter. First, Whitney is an excellent communicator and very responsive. She is thorough with her notes and came to our meeting prepared. The pictures, videos, and daily updates were greatly appreciated. And best of all, we came home to a very happy and content puppy. Baily is a 1.5-year-old mini Aussie with lots of energy.

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-Arcade 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-Arcade 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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-Arcade 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.
