“Diana is so kind and generous! We have two animals and she came over twice to make sure she understood how to take care of them. Each time, she was a complete delight and also she kept me updated with updates on how my fur babies were doing. I couldn’t recommend her enough. She will be our go-to sitter from now on”
“Erika was great with our dogs and very knowledgeable , we where able to trust her with our home and animals while we were on vacation. I highly recommend her and will use her again for sure.”
“Laura was outstanding. On time for all engagements, great with the kids(dogs - all 5 of them!), sent regular photo check ins, and kept the house up as well. Sooo nice to have a great experience like this when away from home.”
About: I have had dogs all my life growing up. Honestly - there has never been a year in my life where I have not owned a dog. I have experience with small dogs to large dogs. I have volunteered for several shelters when I was younger. I have cared for senior dogs and dogs who have cancer. My dogs are spoiled and honestly, they are not pets but family. I love my dogs unconditionally the way they love me. I currently work from home all week. I am free to play, run around, and walk my furry family throughout the day. I am usually home during the day, in the evenings and on weekends. I have a fenced yard. The yard is large and has grass and play toys. I have two furry family dogs to keep your pet company as well. My home is dog friendly with multiple dog beds, toys, and treats. I have extra crates, leashes, harnesses, treats, bowls, and blankets.
“Stephanie was great with our dogs! She was friendly, punctual and was very reliable throughout. Our dogs LOVED her, that should be your sign!! She is absolutely our go-to for future trips.”
“Doh was a great sitter for our fur babies. They loved her and even wanted to leave with her when we returned. She was prompt and communicated well before and during the visit. I would highly recommend her. 🐾”
About: Hello fellow pet parents! My name is Emily, and I am thrilled to offer a safe, fun, and reliable home-away-from-home for your beloved four-legged family members. As a passionate animal lover, I know firsthand that pets aren't just animals—they are cherished members of the family who deserve the absolute best care, attention, and affection. Whether your pet is an energetic ball of fluff who needs to burn off some energy, or a sweet senior soul who just wants a quiet cuddle on the couch, I tailor my care to meet their unique personality and routine! 🐕 Services Provided & Activities When your pet is with me, their day will be filled with structure, safety, and a whole lot of fun. The services I provide are fully customizable, but a typical day of care or visit often includes: Tailored Exercise & Neighborhood Walks: Active walks to explore local spots, sniff all the good trails, and get some great fresh air. Engaging Playtime & Mental Stimulation: From classic games of fetch to interactive toys, I love keeping pets mentally and physically sharp. Cozy Cuddle Time & Companionship: Plenty of belly rubs, ear scratches, and relaxing downtime to ensure they feel entirely safe, secure, and loved. Routine Maintenance: Timely feeding, refreshing water bowls, administering any required medications, and ensuring a clean environment (including keeping litter boxes spotless for feline friends). Daily Photo Updates: I love capturing great candid moments! You can expect regular, bright photo and text updates so you can see exactly how much fun your pet is having while you're away. 📚 My Pet Care Experience I have years of hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of pets, ranging from high-energy dogs to independent, sweet cats. My background includes managing different temperaments, understanding animal body language, and adhering strictly to specific dietary and medical routines. Having my own beloved pets has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and vigilance. I treat every single animal in my care with the exact same level of devotion, respect, and safety that I demand for my own furry family. From puppy training basics to gentle senior care, I’ve got it covered! 📅 Availability & Daily Routine I understand how important peace of mind is when leaving your pet, which is why I pride myself on being highly present and attentive. My Schedule: I manage my professional responsibilities with an incredibly flexible schedule that allows me to put your pet's needs first. Time Spent with Your Pet: Because I have excellent control over my daily calendar, your pet will never be an afterthought. I am able to dedicate significant chunks of the day to direct interaction, frequent potty breaks, and structured play. Evenings & Weekends: I have fantastic availability for overnight stays, weekend boarding, or dedicated evening drop-ins, ensuring that your pet maintains their normal routine without disruption. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry best friend! Feel free to reach out with any questions, details about your pet's specific quirks, or to schedule a meet-and-greet. Let’s give your pet the best day ever! 🐶🐱✨ Pet care naturally fits into my everyday life because spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. I’m used to building my day around routines like walks, feeding schedules, playtime, potty breaks, and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for. I have experience caring for dogs with different energy levels, including puppies who need extra attention and consistency. I’m home enough to provide regular care, supervision, and companionship, and I enjoy being active, so walks and exercise are an easy part of my routine. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I make sure to follow each owner’s instructions closely and keep their normal routine as stress-free and familiar as possible while they’re in my care. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well being will always be my top priority. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, and I take that responsibility seriously. I make sure every pet is supervised carefully, kept in a safe environment, and cared for according to their individual needs and routine. I pay close attention to behavior, energy levels, eating habits, and any signs that a pet may be stressed or uncomfortable so I can respond quickly if something seems off. I believe in clear communication and will always keep owners updated with messages and photos so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is in good hands. I treat every animal with patience, kindness, and the same level of care I would give my own pet. My goal is to create a safe, positive experience for both pets and their owners every time.

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.
Brittany did an outstanding job taking care of our senior dog, Frankie, in my home. He had some GI upset the night before Brittany was petsitting, so he needed some extra meds and attention. She kept me apprised of whether and how much he was eating, how he was acting, etc., including pictures. By the time I got home the next day Frankie was feeling much better, as did I since everything went so smoothly.
We had a wonderful experience with Natalie! From the very beginning, communication was clear, friendly, and professional. She took the time to understand our dog’s routine, preferences, and quirks, which immediately put us at ease. During the stay, we received regular updates, including photos and messages, which made it so much easier to be away. When we returned, our dog was relaxed and content, which says everything. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again and highly recommend Natalie to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and attentive sitter!
Rachel was incredible! She took such great care of my dog, Estrella, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. She was reliable, attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. I came home to a happy, relaxed pup and a spotless space. I would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her! ✨
Tiffany was very professional. She was on time and respectful of my home. My cats love her, she was very friendly and cuddly and warm to my cats. Tiffany left my house very clean and she emptied all the trash and took it out. I will definitely hire Tiffany again.
Amazing! Shy is a wonderful sitter. Shy followed directions and my fur baby loved Shy. Shy has a natural gift with animals. Shy also took great care of my place. I also had daily communication which was great since I requested them and was sent photos of my baby everyday. Will definitely rebook again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Arden-Arcade
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Arden-Arcade on Rover is $50 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 2,837 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Arden-Arcade. 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-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.
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-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 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-Arcade. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% 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.
