About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with 18+ years of experience owning pets and caring for pets for family, friends, and others. I understand how much our pets mean to us; they’re family, and I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing they’re in loving, responsible hands while you’re away. As a mom of five, I’m naturally attentive, dependable, patient, and used to caring for others and managing different needs and personalities. I’m comfortable with dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and temperaments, and I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel safe and comfortable. Whether your pet needs long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, medication reminders, feeding on a specific schedule, or simply some company while you’re gone, I’ll give them the individual attention they deserve. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. My goal is for your pet to feel loved, comfortable, and at home, not like they’re simply being boarded or checked on. I’ll treat your pets with the same care and attention I would want someone to give mine. 🐾❤️ As a stay-at-home mom with a very flexible schedule, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have the flexibility to accommodate walks, drop-ins, feeding schedules, playtime, and other petcare needs throughout the day. I’m able to work around each pet’s individual routine rather than trying to fit them into a rigid schedule. My flexible availability allows me to give pets plenty of attention, companionship, and care while their families are away. Safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities when caring for pets. As a mom of both furry and humans, I’m very attentive to my surroundings and understand the importance of keeping animals in a secure, supervised environment. In my home, I provide a clean, comfortable space with plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow their pet’s normal routine and care instructions closely. I’m careful about doors, gates, leashes, food, medications, and anything else that could pose a risk. I’ll also keep owners updated with photos and messages so they know their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for.
About: I have cared for and owned of all sorts of animals from dogs, cats, snakes, and guinepigs! I love all types of creatures and have helped many friends and family members pet-sit in the past. My schedule is mostly wide open. Early mornings are the only times that are difficult for me. I do not mind working some weekends as needed. I have a fenced in yard and two mini aussies at home. They are sisters from the same litter and they will be 11 in May. We have had them since they were puppies and they love to keep me busy with their colorful personalities.
“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.”

“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.”
“Carmen made me feel at ease while caring for our 3 dogs. She has to juggle a puppy, senior, and other dog and did so without issue. She stayed in the house and gave them attention so I could enjoy time away. Will definitely book with Carmen again for sitting.”
“This was Rebecca's second time taking care of my pup while I was out of town. I've tried a few sitters for Lulu over the years and Rebecca is by far the best!! Lulu LOVES Rebecca and I can truly feel at ease while I'm traveling knowing that she's at my home taking care of Lulu! She's a great photographer and communicator, plus my house was neat and clean when I returned!”
“This was the second time I had Glenn at my house and I plan on having him every time I need him if he agrees. Glenn is excellent with my dogs and this last time he had to give one of them meds for me. He keeps me informed and always sends pictures. I am very pleased with Glenn.”
About: Hey everyone! My name is Kelsey and I live in Stuart, I have been dog sitting for the past 4 years now with Rover. I've had dogs since I was a kid, sat for others and fostered for a few weeks as well. I have experience with all age ranges of dogs, including giving medications to senior dogs, and dogs that need a little extra care. Looking forward to gaining regular or one time clients! I work part-time at a golf course, shifts are typically 6-8 hours and out early. I work 3-4 shifts a week, aside from that I'll be home with your pet or available for morning/evening drop ins! I do prefer to meet the dog and owner prior to first drop in or walk just to get a better feel for what the dog will require.
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!
“Heidi was dependable, ensured that our 8 yo Border Collie got plenty of exercise, kept us up to date with pictures and was very respectful in staying at our house. We would definitely use Heidi again!”
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.
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hailey did an amazing job caring for our home and pets while we were away for four days and three nights. From the start, she was professional, dependable, and easy to communicate with, which gave us great peace of mind during our trip. Our pets were clearly well cared for and received plenty of attention, affection, and exercise. Hailey kept us updated while we were away, and it was reassuring to know everything was going smoothly. When we returned home, our pets were happy and relaxed, and our house was clean, secure, and well maintained. Hailey went above and beyond our expectations and treated both our home and pets as if they were her own. Her rates were very fair, especially considering the outstanding level of care and service she provided. We highly recommend Hailey to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and caring house and pet sitter. We will absolutely be using her services again in the future. Thank you, Hailey!”
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Arundel on Rover is $72.15 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,098 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Arundel. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 99% 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.
