“Lorianne was absolutely incredible with our pets! Our dog is very timid and wary of strangers, but he absolutely loved her! She sent pictures and updates regularly, and we felt very safe with her :)”
“Audrey was an absolutely perfect fit for us! She is reliable and trustworthy. Audrey kept us informed each day with pictures and videos of our animals & property. Audrey went above and beyond while caring for our home and farm. She made us feel very at ease while away from home.”
About: I have actually received many positive reviews for the sitting I have done up to this point, 4 years professionally and a lifetime of experience too! I have mostly had furred and some feathered pets, and have watched them for people I know in their homes too. I've done lots of official sits the past few years, and have been invited back for repeat sits several times. I'm conscientious and organized etc. by nature, and also have a calm presence that most pets quickly warm up to. I've taken care of indoor, outdoor and indoor/outdoor pets before, and am good with doors and keeping them where they need to be. I've also been recommended for other sits, and have had many others reach out to me for sits. I've also done a few sits without even having to meet the owners, like if they needed to take off or needed me to fill in as a replacement, so that's always an option if it ever comes down to it. I've even obliged when the first pick ahead of me falls through, which is no bother for me and probably ends up for the best anyway! My first 15 reviews shown here are just some of the many actual sitting-related reviews I've received over the past few years. I am flexible in general and can accommodate most any pet care requirements and scenarios. And feeding as well as play times and so forth. I am very good with doors and keeping pets contained and where they need to be. I am also attentive and enjoy giving pets attention.
“Megan was very attentive and provided daily updates and photos of our dog! Our dog loved her and Megan made our experience great. We definitely recommend her for any pet needs!”
About: I am a registered nurse who could really benefit from some extra money in this tough time. Have a 8 year-old German Shepherd, and 2 year-old cat. They are my precious angels. Will love your animals as if they were my own!! I want your pet to be happy, healthy, and comfortable. I am available every Sunday/Monday and every other Tuesday. I am awake fairly early and am unable to provide walks or visits after 8 PM. My only time restriction is Sunday between 11:30 AM and 1:30 PM. In my home, I feed my dog twice a day and my cat once a day. I changed the water bowl three times a day because my cat likes freshwater. My dog gets 3 to 4 walks a day. Both animals get snuggles and pets. I will frequently play fetch or chase my cat around the house and occasionally do the same with my dog.
About: Hi there! I'm Mia!✨🩷🎶 Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve been caring for pups since I was 10, helping family, friends, and neighbors with everything from energetic puppies to wise senior dogs. Currently, I share my home with an incredible senior dog who have been with me since she was 10 months old. With patience, love, and years of experience, I make every walk and sit special. Teaching old dogs new tricks is one of my favorite challenges ;) don’t be surprised if you come home to a dog with a few new skills (and plenty of tail wags) 🤍 As a full-time college student with only virtual classes this semester, I have plenty of free time to dedicate to your pet’s care. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or a study date, your pup will get all the attention they deserve! I've never lived without a dog in my home and currently have my dog Pippi whom I’ve had for 14 years. From running trails with highly energetic dogs to snuggling up with the sleepiest ones for a Gilmore Girls marathon, I’m ready to provide the perfect balance of adventure and relaxation for your pet!
About: I only have two dogs that is 18 years old and still going strong. My other pet Putski is only 1 year old. I love pets and I’ll take care of yours! I don’t remember a time I didn’t have a dog growing up, I’ve always had a dog in my house! Dog walking is my thing. I’ll check in to see what’s up with your pup. Feed your pup, brush, run with your dog, and everything! Just let me know and I’ll make sure I do my best with occupying your dog and providing the ultimate pets and rubs to your bestfriend :) . I accept Small, medium, and large dogs for dog sitting. But only walk and do check in for BIG dogs. I’m always open to new dogs, there will be no discrimination of your dog no matter how old or young your puppy or doggy is. I’m here when you need a friend to look after your friend any day! I have plenty of time to be booked I’m free because I work from home! Call me hit me if you wanna reach me 😉 I take care of my pets as if their my children. And you better believe I’ll treat your dogs the same way I do mine🤎
“Where do I even start with Kelsey? She is truly the most amazing pet sitter I have ever encountered. She is caring, loving, responsible, and incredibly detail-oriented. My dogs are my babies, and I take their care very seriously. Kelsey understood that from the very beginning and paid attention to every little detail that mattered to me. My dogs are seniors and require medication, and Kelsey was extremely careful and attentive with everything. She went above and beyond, checking in with me regularly and sending pictures and updates about their day. Most importantly, she genuinely loved and cared for my dogs — and they absolutely loved her back! I was very nervous about hiring someone through Rover because my dogs had never been left overnight without us. Kelsey completely put my mind at ease, and I am so grateful that I found her. She is not only an amazing pet sitter, but also a wonderful human being with a great sense of humor. I trust Kelsey completely and would hire her again in a heartbeat. If you are considering her to care for your babies, don’t think twice — she is the one! And trust me, I’m a mama bear when it comes to my babies. ❤️🐾”
About: Hi, I’m a 30-year-old pet sitter based in Florida! I’ve been caring for pets for most of my life—starting at age 14 with family and friends’ animals and continuing professionally on Rover for the past 5 years. Two years ago I moved to Florida, and I’m excited to keep helping local pets and their owners. I have hands-on experience with dogs of all kinds, including caring for my parents’ two Westies (now 7 and 5 years old) back home. I’m also very comfortable with cats and have looked after many over the years. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or just providing calm companionship, I treat every pet like my own and always follow your routines and preferences. Availability: I work a standard Monday–Friday 9–5 schedule, so I’m not available for drop-ins or walks during those hours. I can offer a quick mid-day (lunchtime) walk of up to 30 minutes on weekdays. I’m much more flexible evenings, early mornings, weekends, and holidays—perfect for overnight sits, longer daytime visits, or weekend care. I’m reliable, communicative, and always happy to send updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and safe. I’d love to meet you and your furry (or feathered!) family member—feel free to reach out with any questions! Pet care fits into my routine around my full-time job. I work Monday through Friday from 9–5, so during those hours I’m only available for a quick mid-day (lunchtime) walk of up to 30 minutes. Outside of that, I’m much more flexible — early mornings, evenings after 5, weekends, and holidays work well for me. That means I can easily handle overnight stays, longer daytime visits, weekend boarding, or regular evening walks. I plan my week in advance and always leave buffer time so I’m never rushing between clients. You’ll get consistent, reliable care that fits around both of our schedules. I provide care both in clients’ homes and (when appropriate) in my own home, always matching the service to what works best for the pet and the owner. In your home (drop-in visits, dog walking, or house-sitting): I stick closely to your pet’s normal routine—feeding schedule, medication, walk routes, playtime, and any special preferences you share. I keep them comfortable in their own space, send photo and video updates, and make sure the house is left secure and tidy. For overnight house-sitting I’m fully present in your home so your pet has consistent companionship and the least disruption possible. In my home (if boarding is arranged): I create a calm, supervised environment with a dedicated space for your pet. They receive individual attention, regular potty breaks/walks, playtime, and the same feeding and care routine they follow at home. I never leave pets unsupervised for long stretches and always separate animals when needed for safety and comfort. No matter the location, I treat every pet with patience and respect, follow all instructions carefully, and keep you updated so you know your pet is happy and well cared for.
“We were so happy to have Amber stay at our home and watch our dog while we were away. She walked her every morning and sent us updates throughout our trip. It was so nice not having to worry about a thing while we were on vacation!”
About: I’m a Vet Tech with 10 years of experience in a primary clinic, as well as in animal shelters and I also have worked in Veterinary Orthopedic Surgery. I have Medication administration experience for pets that need special attention as well. I’m currently available for daily dog walking, medication assistance daily, as well as overnight boarding in your home for those who do frequent traveling and need longer care for there pets. I’m currently doing in client home boarding, i believe this is more comfortable and less stressful on the pets while the owners are away and it keeps your pets on there scheduled routines.
About: I’ve cared for my own cats for the past 9 years and genuinely love being around animals, especially cats. I’m calm, dependable, attentive to routines, and committed to making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away! I currently am not in the traditional job market, so I can be there for your fur babies with 110% of my attention and energy! Animals are better than humans at detecting energies, and I believe that is so important. Building a true, genuine connection with your pets is truly very important, and providing a safe, comfortable environment is all that I want for your babies.
“Gina is a very wonderful person who is kind and considerate and goes the extra step! My lab Kody loved her and she sent me lot of pictures of my fur baby which I really appreciated. I would most definitely utilize Gina’s services again!”
“Tommy took great care of our golden while we were away. Such a nice guy - Received a photo and update each day. Our pup was happy and could tell he was well cared for while in his home. Definitely recommend and will be using again when out of town.”
“Aaliyah was absolutely fabulous with my 3 month old puppy. She stayed the entire time during my house sit and sent lots of update pictures to ease my nerves of leaving him for the first time. I strongly recommend Aaliyah and will definitely be booking with her again!”

“Grace was amazing with our furr babies during a long day sit on the 4th at our home with one nervous big senior, who hates fireworks, and one young, little new rescue. She met us the day before our sit and we all instantly clicked. Grateful for her very caring and considerate handling of our 2 on the 4th! Thank you for hanging with B and L !! WE cant wait to have you back :)”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Arundel is $69 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $41 and $94 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.

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 Arundel 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 Arundel 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 Arundel 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Arundel. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
