“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ James was absolutely amazing with Meiko! From the beginning, he was incredibly attentive and communicative, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. He kept me updated, was very responsive, and most importantly, Meiko absolutely loved him! He was also extremely respectful of my home and just genuinely so friendly and easy to work with. I really appreciated the care and attention he gave Meiko while I was away. It’s such a relief finding someone you can trust with both your pet and your home. I will absolutely be booking with James again and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative, and caring sitter. Thank you so much, James! 🐾💕”

About: I have had my own dogs in my life - for over 35 years, both small ones and large ones. I learned to obedience train my German Shepherds and they were always welcomed wherever we went. Most people said that they would love to come back as my pet. I am currently working part time and have ample time to attend to your dog. I can have a dog overnight in the evenings and most weekends. My home sits on 3 acres with lots of room for your dog to run. Ill take your dog on nice walks. In my home, your dog can roam freely or I can crate your dog if you like.

“Keira is so fantastic! My dog is still a little bit nervous because Keira is new, but she really takes it in stride and seems to magically make my dog more comfortable. Keira is so patient, kind, and gracious, highly recommended if your pup tends to be the nervous kind.”

“Quinn was great watching our dogs and cats while we were away. She was very communicative and friendly. We felt very confident that our fur babies were being well taken care of. Having never used an in house sitter, we didn’t know what to expect and she made it very easy. Came back to a clean home, happy pets and we got pictures the entire time we were away! Highly recommend!”

“Janellle and her sister are a God send! They took wonderful care of our fur babies-2 cats and 2 dogs. One dog is a senior with food allergies and required eye drops. They took both dogs for multiple walks and played and loved on our cats. We were out of the country for four days and they took care of our home as if it was their own. I highly recommend them to care for your fur family any time. They sent us pics while we were away and it kept us at ease and allowed us to enjoy our vacation because we knew our cats and dogs were happy and cared for…we will definitely use them again and you should too!!”

About: Hey there! I'm Ambrosia! You can call me Amber. I've been caring for pets for as long as I've been caring for babies. See it goes hand in hand. Every baby that I've nannied usually has a furry frind with them. The fur baby came first then the actually baby. When caring for the baby I often took a liking to the furry friend too. That meant playing and feeding the dog whenever I wasn't taking care of the baby. Often times I would let the dog out to do his buisness. When the child got older and we went on walks the dog of couse came too. As a former athlete and someone who lives an active lifestyle, I love going on walks and runs. So if your dog is a runner that's no problem for me; just let me know. Just like kids, I can understand the fustration when a pet does not listen. Being a nanny helped me to gain a lot of patience, so if your pup isn't a good listener it's ok! Ms. Amber has the time to wait it out. On the other side of that we all love a little reward so don't be shy to let me know if you have a reward system for your pet. I love dogs yound and old! As caregiver I strive to give your pet the best experience while they are in my care. I look forward to meeting and tking care of your furry friend! As I am not working a traditinal job right now, my schedule is pretty flexiable. Pet care can fit into my daily routine around your pets needs. Whether that be for an early morning walk or a a mid day pop in for cuddles and play, I can be the sitter you rely on. When caring for your fur baby in your home, I strive to keep a clean and safe enviorment for your pet and myself. Any mess that might have been made while caring for your pet will be cleaned up. I want your pet to have the best experience with me and whatever malkes them comfortable with me I'll do. I understand that we all need time to warm up to eachother. I keep a calm attitude and love to givethe equal amout of space and cuddles.

About: I am an outgoing, trustworthy, and friendly individual. I have been an animal lover my entire life - my initial major in college was pre-veterinary studies. I have worked in numerous animal clinics since high school and even at a zoo one summer. I grew up with an English Setter and have 2 Goldendoodles back home! During college, I lived and cared for both bunnies and cats. I have dog sat (overnight) numerous times as well as am experienced dog walking and providing care for other house pets. I can provide references if wanted. Please feel free to contact me with any further questions, comments, or inquiries! I am currently working at home full time so will have plenty of time to spend with your pet and can give it attention through the day! I don’t currently have any other pets in my home but have lived with both dogs and cats before. In a clients home I’d be very respectful of their space and focus on spending quality time with their pet.

“Absolutely wonderful! For starters, my three dogs loved her! Even the one who is a little grumpy. She stayed in our house for three nights and looked after our dogs while there. She was very communicative, prompt, and respectful of our home! It looked like no one had even stayed there. Would love to book her services again (if our diaper dog didn't scare her off)!”

About: Hi pet parents, I have lifelong experiences with many types of animals at various life stages: especially comfortable with large breed and high energy dogs, exotics (parrots, rats, reptiles), equines, and livestock. I am a college student with a very open and flexible schedule to be there for the pet as much as the pet parent wants! I can offer house sitting, dog walks, potty breaks, overnight care… I can also get mail, water plants, and other house tasks. I have done farm sitting for 5 years, both pets and livestock, caring for animals and doing farm chores. I am an experienced equestrian and am very comfortable with horses, horse care (feeding, mucking, turning out) and managing senior horses. I have reliable transport and am willing to travel for pet care. Routinely, I travel from school to home and various other farms to provide care to pets and livestock. Growing up with animals, i have had my fair share of bad pet sitting experiences and when I first started sitting, i promised to provide care I would expect for my own pets. I promise to interact with and treat pets as my own and to give each individualized care. I love caring for animals and researching the best ways to provide for any species I am caring for. I also understand the importance of animal behavior and body language when interacting with animals and have a particular love and respect for shy or aggressive pets.

About: I’ve always had a special place in my heart for animals! I’ve grown up with lots of cats, dogs & more! I currently work at my local animal shelter as a Behavior trainer, and I treat all of the fur babies as if they were my own until they get their furever home. I care about each of them and only wanna make them feel love special and cared for! Since I'm working part-time right now, I have plenty of open time to dedicate to your fur baby. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. My days are flexible, so I can give your pup my full attention - whether that's a nice long walk, playing fetch at the park, doing food puzzles for mental enrichment, or just hanging out for lots of love and pets while they enjoy a bone. I'm happy to stick to whatever routine makes them most comfortable. As the owner of a 1.5-year-old rescued Doberman mix, I understand how much care, exercise, and enrichment dogs need to thrive. My boy gets daily physical exercise plus mental stimulation through enrichment, puzzle toys, and Kongs. I bring that same standard of care to every pet I watch - just let me know your pet's routine and needs, and I will follow it to the T. As for Safety is always my #1 priority - whether we’re out and about in town or on a quiet hike in the woods.

About: I'm reliable dependable and dogs always seem to like me. I'm very flexable with my schedule, and have no trouble housesitting as well as dogsitting I have a full time job. Right now I'm teleworking, while our office is being revamped, but will soon return to the office. Once that happens I'll probably be gone from 7:30AM - 6:00PM on weekdays. I usually walk your Dog around 6 AM when I first get up, make sure he has water food and a chew toy when I head out to work, and walk him/her as soon as I get home, and once more before bed. I live alone so I can focus on your pet I live in a 1 bedroom apartment in a clean safe neighborhood. It's a very dog friendly community, and there's a fenced in play area where your Dog can run and play fetch. I also live fairly close to a walking trail. As far as housesitting, I'm willing to go anywhere in the Baltimore metro area. I'm very respectful of other people's property, and as I mentioned I live alone so it's not an issue to spend a week or longer at your house

About: I am a retired science teacher with a very flexible schedule. I was a Great Dane mom for 20 years and have cared for dogs of all sizes and ages. I am recently retired and still building my "new" routine, which currently has lots of time to care for your dog(s) either in your home or possibly mine. I currently have no pets (my dog in passed in July, 2023) and I hope that my work with Rover will bring some extra joy to my days as well as those of your dog(s). I also enjoy hobbies such as golf, daily workouts/walks, and reading. At my home, I have a beautiful back yard that is great for quick walks or potty breaks on leash. The local park is only a 10-minute walk away. My large deck is a great place for dogs to get some fresh air, weather permitting. The main level of the home is mostly hardwood floors. I have plenty of space for a crate and food/water bowls. I am a respectful, responsible individual and will follow your instructions for pet care and visits with care and the greatest attention to detail.

“Chelsea was fantastic. We had to leave for a long trip for almost 3 weeks to the far east. I couldn’t not imagine boarding our dog for this long of a time. Chelsea not only house sat for us but took great care of our aging husky lab mix dog for the whole time. She made us feel at ease with daily pictures and checking in and we knew that our dog Bodie was well cared for. Finding someone to trust with our house and our dog for this long of a time was very stressful prior to leaving. Chelsea made it very easy on us. She is professional and truly cares. I couldn’t not be thankful enough that we found Chelsea on Rover. I would definitely use her again.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Arden Valley

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Arden Valley is $48 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $48 and $48 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 October 2026, there are 2,879 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Arden Valley. 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 Valley 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 Valley 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 Valley 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 , 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 .

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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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 Arden Valley. On Rover:

  • 90% 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.
