About: hello! i have been taking care of dogs and cats for a little over 2 years now (professionally) but have always grown up around fury friends my entire life! My past experience was a lot from my old home in PA, but about a year ago I expanded my experience to some families in Florida! I mostly see dogs but have cared for all types of animals! (even ferrets!!) I am available most days as long as I have a couple days notice of any type of service. I have cared for all ages in the past, from puppies to the elderly! I hope to get to meet ur furry companion soon! I have open availability most of my day, the only time slot I wont be able to visit is from 9:30-1:30 because of highschool. Other than that my full attention is on your furry friend! I always keep an eye on whatever pets I am watching no matter what to make sure they are safe. I care for other animals as if they were my own.
“Tara did a great job house and dog sitting with our senior chihuahua Dudley. She sent pictures and updated us during the day and always responded to messages promptly. We will definitely have Tara house/dog sit for us again.”
“We left for two weeks over the holidays and we trusted our two pugs to Carmen for the first time. She sent us daily updates, gave them walks and even put up with a random bug infestation that happened to our Christmas tree while we were gone. She cleaned up and the pups were healthy and happy. I look forward to hiring Carmen again and highly recommend her.”
“Lori is a trustworthy and highly reliable dog sitter. I would definitely recommend her. She’s so good with dogs, both big and small! She loves & cares for the dogs as if they’re her own. We look forward to booking her again.”
“Cristina was absolutely amazing. She dog sat for us while we went away for a whole week. And she was so great with our dog. She sent me pictures and videos and updates the entire time. Made me feel so comfortable leaving my baby with her. He was a bit shy in the beginning being this was his first time without us for that long and before I knew it he warmed up to her and was all cuddled up with her. I am so grateful to have found her. If you are questioning if you should hire her, think no more! You wont be disappointed. Now im happy to know I can call her whenever we need to be out of town. She was truly a blessing. Not one complaint. Reliable and so loving to our baby. Highly highly recommend.”
“Megan is amazing! She sends us photos and updates every day which helps when you're missing your furbabies. She is very dependable and trustworthy. We have a senior dog who takes daily meds and Megan is exceptional with ensuring she gets her meds on schedule. This is our 2nd time using Megan and we'll definitely be using her in the future.”
“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: 20+ years of pet care experience. Growing up we had 4 dogs , 6 cats and a whole array of other critters. When it comes to pet sitting, drop by visits or just a quick walk, I’m your guy! I have a full time job that I work Tuesday-Friday 8-6. Im currently available Mondays, Friday evenings, Saturdays & Sundays. Holidays vary since I may be out of town I have two cats myself so ensuring a safe, clean environment is number 1 on my list. If there’s no mess or hazard, I’d ensure all essentials are either available or given at time specified. For example feeding and or medication time, along with kibble/ water restock. If there’s a list, follow the list lol
“Janine did a great job of caring for Lily and she spoiled her with many walks to her favorite park! She communicated well with me and my house wa in great shape when I came home.”
“I’m so grateful for Jessica ! She treated Gator like her own and made the whole process super easy for me. She’s very reliable, kind, and clearly loves dogs. Gator can be anxious, but he warmed up to her right away. When I got home, he was happy and tired from all the walks and playtime. It’s such a relief to have someone I trust to take care of my dogs when I’m away.”
About: My name is Angels. I'm a reliable, responsible and caring pet sitter. I'm a full time Middle School paraprofessional, taking care of pets is my second favorite thing to do. I love animals. I've volunteered for many nonprofit organizations that rescue dogs. I was trained by the humane society to walk, to train and to care for dogs. I will love your dogs and care for them as if they were my own dogs. I will make sure to take pictures and to keep them safe while they are under my care. I am looking forward to working with you and your pet(s) . Have a wonderful and blessed rest of your day! Stay safe and sound! Thank you for your consideration!! Best Regards, Angels. It is summertime, so I am more flexible with my scheduling, meaning I have more time to walk during the day as opposed to only after work during the school year. While caring for them at your home, I will make sure to walk, feed, bathe, and brush your furry loved one as if they were my own.
About: I grew up on a farm. I've worked with animals all my life as part of my family and experiences through FFA. I walk my own dog and help neighbors with their loved ones in our neighborhood. I currently work part time so I have availability to help those who have less time. I feel this is a great way to lift my own spirits, stay active and help others/animals. I have a dog and 2 cats. I go on nightly walks with my fur baby and all the neighbors with their dogs. It's great social time for us and the doggos.
“Lily was amazing! She came over for a meet and greet and Maverick liked her right away. Then for his overnight she stayed with him until we returned. She did a great job making sure he got his walk and lots of snuggles. He was happy and calm when we returned. We will definitely have Lily stay with him again when we have to leave him for any length of time. Loved Lily!”
“My 3 dogs were taken care of for 2 weeks at my home and they were all fine and no issues with escaping. One of them realized she could jump my fence right before I left but there was no escaping when I was gone because she kept the doors locked. My dog checks! She handled them and I had peace of mind.”
“Rebecca is Fantastic, keep us uptodate with how our pup Koji was doing and took some great photos of him. Very professional and keep our house clean and tidy. She is our favorite Pet and House sitter.”
About: I have a passion for animals that is evident in the way that I love and care for all as they are my own. I have had experience with all kinds of animals and I am dedicated to providing the best care possible. I have personally owned a golden retriever puppy and a senior golden so I have experience with all temperments and sizes. My schedule is very easily adaptable and I am able to work with clients to adjust my availability according to their schedule and their pets needs. I am able to stay with pets as much as needed and provide enrichment and basic needs whenever necessary. Pets will be cared for according to their specific needs and owners requests.
“This was my third time with Glenn watching my dogs. I will always have him watch them as long as he can. I have complete trust in him and know that he takes excellent care of them. Thank you again Glenn.”
About: Hi! I'm Savannah, a lifelong dog lover and proud owner of an 8-year-old Black Lab. Spending time with dogs has always been a big part of my life, and I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy to care for your pet. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just some extra attention, I'm happy to provide a safe, fun, and caring experience. I treat every dog as if they were my own and look forward to meeting your furry family member! I am free any day of the week! I would love to take care of your dog whenever your dog needs to be taken care of! My dog at home is walked twice a day and taken out every two hours. His water bowl is filled up every two hours and he gets lots of love!
About: I’ve taken care of big dogs, small dogs, and cats. I have also helped with giving them their medication. I am able to be there all day and night with them and love going for walks. I also like to keep the owner updated everyday on the phone. I currently work remote and I am able to stay all day and night. I make my own schedule and can be free to play with the animals whenever as well as take them for a walk whenever. Everyone that I dog sit or cat sit for likes it when I stay over and I make sure to go a day before to meet the pets and have the owner walk me through what an average day looks like so that I imitate it and keep the same schedule. While I’m there I like to keep the house clean.
About: I have had several dogs over the years, SharPei, Bouvier des Flandres, Rescue, Boxer, Basset Hound and Polish Lowland Sheepdog. Loved them all! Will not name a favorite. I only work on Wednesdays. Take Pilates class on Tuesdays and Fridays but with advance notice can be available anytime. I also walk a lot. I live in a gated community where a lot of people have dogs. I am a single female and happy to take the dog out at anytime.

FAQs for House Sitting - Arundel
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Arundel on Rover is $66.6 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 1,111 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Arundel. 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 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 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.

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.
