“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.”
“Patrick was fantastic with our three dogs! He was incredibly communicative and understanding throughout the entire stay. We really appreciated the frequent photo updates, which gave us great peace of mind. We will definitely be booking with him again in the future!”
“Samantha was terrific! We are very fussy leaving our labrador, Paddington, with anyone. We met with her beforehand, and we instantly knew that everything would be fine. She is extremely reliable, kept in touch with us consistently, and we were very pleased with her stay. We would happily use her again.. We would recommend her to anybody!!”
“We were extremely happy with the care Megan provided. This was our first time using Rover with house/pet sitter and so happy we did. We came home from our 5 day trip to a very happy Brady! Megan sent us pictures and messages daily and our Brady looked like he was enjoying the extra attention. We will certainly use Megan again in the future and would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
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’ve primarily cared for cats and am very comfortable with their routines, temperaments, and special needs. I also have experience with dogs and enjoy walks and playtime. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and treat every pet like my own. I work full time as an elementary school teacher. I’m available weekdays before 7:30 AM and after 3 PM. I am available anytime on weekends. I have full availability during school breaks and holidays. I provide a safe, calm, and clean environment for all pets in my care. I’m attentive to their needs, follow routines closely, and make sure they feel comfortable and loved. I communicate regularly so owners can feel confident and at ease while they’re away.
“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’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.
“This was my first time hiring someone to watch our Jessie. She is an 8 year old sweetheart. She had surgery for a torn ACL. So I was extremely nervous about leaving her….. well I needn’t worry. Sydney was perfect! She came for an initial meet & greet. She was attentive, considerate, sweet, knowledgeable, and Jessie took to her immediately! She showed up on time, remembered everything we had gone over on the meet and greet. Jessie remembered her and went right to her. Well, they had a great time, when we got home they were sitting together and Jessie looked relaxed and happy 😃 She also was kind enough to send pictures just to reassure us she was doing good 💕 Not only would I recommend her to friends and family, I will absolutely have her watch Jessie anytime we need.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Chelsea watch our dog Lucy while we were out of town for a wedding. We are so happy with the care and love she provided to her. She sent photos and updates and treated her with such kindness and love. Lucy isn’t always comfortable with strangers, but she fell in love with Chelsea immediately, and so did we. She followed all the directions and care instructions. I won’t hesitate for a minute to have her come 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.”
About: I’ve been around dogs and animals for as long as I can remember. I was always the kid who would choose playing with the dogs over playing with the other children! When I was 13, my family got a Westie named Millie, who was a huge part of my life until I left home at 18. I also owned horses throughout my teenage years, so caring for animals has always been something that comes naturally to me. In my 20s, I worked at a summer camp as the Ranch Director, where I was responsible for caring for the animals and managing staff on a farm with 14 horses, pigs, alpacas, sheep, rabbits, and chicks. That experience gave me a lot of hands-on experience with animals of all kinds and taught me the importance of being attentive, responsible, and consistent when caring for them. I’ve been wanting a dog of my own for years, but I haven’t quite taken the plunge yet! So, for now, I absolutely love getting my dog fix by taking care of other people’s pups. I regularly cared for my sister-in-law’s two little black rescue dogs, who were both mixed breeds. I absolutely loved spending time with them, and they became very special to me before sadly passing away a couple of years ago. I’m also always the first person my friends call when they need someone to watch their dogs, and I genuinely enjoy having them around. I have a 4-year-old daughter and a 7-year-old son, and they both LOVE dogs. They are gentle, respectful, and very affectionate with animals, and they love helping to care for them. Some of my previous pet-sitting clients have even commented on how much they appreciated the extra love and attention their dogs received from my kids! I’m happy to provide references from multiple people, including both professional clients and friends whose pets I’ve cared for. Most importantly, I will treat your dog like they are part of our family while they’re with us—with plenty of love, attention, playtime, and care. I currently work during the week but am generally available on weekends and evenings. I love being active and outdoors and would love to take your dog with me! Due to where I live right now I can only come to your home to care for your pets, and am happy to stay over or just come for occasional feeds and play!
“Jessica took care of my 2 fur babies for a full day and overnight. She stayed in my home and handled all their walks, feedings, and meds. She kept them on schedule and kept me posted with photos! Very happy that we chose to trust her in our home with with our babies!”
About: Hello!! My name is Laura and I’ve grown up with animals my entire life. I currently care for a variety of pets including my dog, three cats, two birds, and a ferret, so I’m very comfortable managing different types of animals and their unique needs. I usually am hired by neighbors and friends of neighbors but I figured I try this style out! I care from big to small dogs and I can also care for exotic pets! I have experience with feeding routines, cleaning up after pets, playtime, walks, and making sure animals feel safe and comfortable in their environment. I also regularly help take care of my friends’ pets when they’re away, so I understand how important it is for owners to trust that their pets are in good hands. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always make sure they get plenty of attention, care, and love. I’m also happy to send photo updates so you can relax knowing your pet is doing well while you’re away. Also, not only am I taking care of your pets, I also take care of your house! I will treat your space with the utmost respect as I would expect from mine. I can water plants, vacuum, any sort of easy cleaning I can do! Pool, yard work, let me know! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable and attentive pet care. I’m able to visit multiple times per day if needed and will always make sure your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, and comfort are my top priority. Safety and trust are extremely important when caring for someone else’s pet. Since I have multiple pets of my own, I understand how important it is to know your animals are in good hands. I always pay close attention to pets, make sure they’re comfortable in their environment, and follow any instructions given so they stay happy and safe.

The average cost of House Sitting in Arundel is $69 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $41 and $94 per night.

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 , 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.
