“Abigail was a fantastic pet sitter at my home for 4 days. She was great at communicating with me and keeping me up to date on my three dogs. She was professional and respectful of my home and my pets' needs. I recommend her as the best pet caretaker on Rover!”

“Lynne took care of my dog Ginger for 9 days recently while I was on vacation. She sent multiple videos of Ginger and texted me as to how Ginger was behaving and enjoying herself. Lynne really seemed to enjoy being with Ginger and that made me relaxed about leaving her for so long. I would definitely have Lynne dog sit for me again.”

About: Hi! My name is Mariah and I can’t wait to meet your fur baby. I have been around dogs of all shapes and sizes my whole life. I currently have a 3 year old Golden Retriever named Rafter and a new addition Ace, a 1 year old Golden retriever mix! I have background in doggy daycare, where I was responsible for feedings, meds, food puzzles, appropriate play and much more! I have been doing drop in visits for years through babysitting and regular clients, I am more than happy to provide local references upon request! I would love to take your loved one on an adventure, walk, or spend time in general with them! I have my own transportation and I am willing to travel! Both of my dogs are friendly with others and would love to meet new friends or I could have one on one time with your dog! These paws will always have a place in my heart! I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby! Hi! My days may be limited, however my heart is not! I am available for doggy drop ins as many times as needed! I’d love to have your pup come spend the day or even a few hours with us!! They will get to play in our yard (on a run, playtime supervised by myself) or on an adventure may it be a neighbor hood walk, or the beach! I want to meet the needs of your dog to a T. I will treat them like my own! Let's talk about schedules and what you would like from my service. I am more more than willing to take your dog on a hike or adventure! If your dog plays nicely with others, mine would love to join but that is unnecessary!

“Sarah was an *excellent* sitter. Our pup had a great time and we know because we got frequent updates and adorable pictures. Our pup can be a handful and Sarah didn't bat an eye, she followed the instructions we left to the letter and our house was spotless when we got home. I cannot recommend her enough; she's the best sitter we've ever gotten through Rover and we *highly* recommend her for whatever services you need.”

About: I bring my own brand of kindness and patience when it comes to pets. They deserve love and attention the same as any other living thing and I enjoy bringing that joy out in them. I am currently working part-time as a maintenance superintendent. I am able to respond to requests during the day and coordinate with pet owners around my schedule to make sure their pets are cared for over the course of the entire day. I have multiple cats in my own home who live in harmony with each other due to the individual care and attention they receive from me.

About: I’ve taken care of family’s pets and also have had my own my whole life. I have experience with a variety of breeds and sizes, including other furry friends as well. My favorite thing in the world is making sure animals of all kind are the happiest and healthiest versions of themselves and i’ve always been one to care about every single animal, including wild hurt ones or strays. I have a pretty open schedule and plenty of time to spend playing, exercising, and hanging out with your pet. We like to go on lots of walks, adventures to different places, car rides, ball and frisbee time, ect. I have my own furry friends to care for as well but am able to fit yours in whenever needed and work accordingly! When i’m caring for dogs or any animal they are always my top priority. When I care for your pets i’ll make sure they are well taken care of (fed, potty, water, play, exercise, etc.) I treat any animal as if it was my own.

About: I love dogs! I get so excited each time I see a dog ... the same way a teenager does to their first love, or a man to a new grill/smoker, or a woman to a Christmas craft fair. I'd love to make your pet feel loved and cared for when their favorite person (you!) is away from home. I lost my sweet, sweet girl to a brain tumor November 2025. While I'm not ready to take on a new dog of my own, I'd be so pleased to care for yours while you're away. You can be sure I will treat them with care and affection, same as I did for my own. Each dog is different and I will do my best to cater my care to their needs, safety, comfort, and (healthy) stimulation. My home is small but the love inside it is not. I can provide walks of whatever duration/frequency your dog needs, car rides to new sites/sounds/smells (if you approve), and 'bonus bites' of foodlove (again at your approval). Pets are allowed on furniture and beds. Above all I will respect what you tell me the boundaries are for your pet. I know what it's like to be away from your 4-legged best friend and will provide daily updates with pictures but if you want more often than that, you need only ask. About me: I've helped train 6 puppies and helped with dedicated senior care on two of my own dogs (including soft tissue injuries and a brain tumor diagnosis with resultant seizures). I grew up in a house with a dog from birth to college and actively helped take care of them. Since 2006 when I graduated college I have had two dogs and each have solely relied on me for their care including health problems, surgery healing, etc. Smoke free, child free, cat free home. I am comfortable with all sizes, ages, breeds, and attitudes of dogs. I am comfortable administering oral and rectal meds but would not be a good fit for someone who had a dog needing an injection (sorry!). I am comfortable with dogs who are very 'high maintenance' on their med and feeding schedule as my own brain tumor experience can attest to how exacting, detailed, and difficult that can be. My calendar should always reflect when I'm available to help. I typically work M-F 6am to 5pm and am flexible to accommodate you outside of those times. I'm able to provide house sitting services at your home OR weekend boarding in my home. First - what you want for your dog matters most. Please communicate training, behavioral, food, outing, and other expectations and I will do my very best to check every box! After that - I care for pets by putting the pet first and giving them as much love as they'd like! I live alone in an apartment up a flight of stairs. While I can provide some help up the stairs, it would be ideal if larger dogs can do a flight of stairs multiple times a day. In my home I do not leave anything dangerous down. Specifically, I'm in the habit of not leaving food down due to my own food-hound. Trash is covered and frequently dumped to avoid trash calamity. A bench at the bottom of my bed with a rug under it ensures safe jumps from floor to bed. Rugs make the living room more comfortable for pups. I can lift dogs in and out of cars when required (as I did for my own sweet girl). Walks employ harnesses to safeguard the throat and trachea. I have pet gates to isolate pets if owners request (healing/safety). I'd speak to owners about acceptable treats, food schedule, medication schedule, and any furniture rules. Please note I have uploaded pics of my new home onto the app and put them near the top ... but many of the existing pics you see with other pets are inside of my past home.

“Sydney was a fabulous dog/housesitter for us staying with our dogs in our home for almost two weeks for our first time leaving the dogs alone without a family member. She was prompt, kind, courteous and kept us updated the whole time while our family took a bucket list vacation together. She left the house in great condition and spoiled the girls with snuggles and pets the whole time. Highly recommend her!!!! Thanks for allowing us to have a memorable trip without worrying about the house and dogs!!”

About: I tailor every experience to your pup’s unique energy, boundaries, and personality. Providing dog walking and house-sitting services since 2017, alongside a lifetime of loving animals, I bring both experienced reliability and an attentive care to every visit. Whether we are exploring new trails, going on a neighborhood sniffari, or enjoying time at home, I pay attention to body language so play, rest, and snuggles always happen on your dog’s terms. I am passionate about collaborating with pet parents to maintain training and routine that keeps your pup safe, happy, and fulfilled.When I'm not on the job, you can find me "borrowing" my colleagues' dogs just to squeeze in an extra adventure! Working on a part-time schedule gives me flexibility throughout the day for routine drop-ins, feedings, medication schedules, and play sessions. I’m also available for occasional overnight stays to keep your pets relaxed and comfortable in their own environment while you're away. I provide care in your home, which keeps your pets in their most comfortable, familiar environment. I treat your home with respect, following all household security routines and leaving your space clean and tidy. During every drop-in or overnight stay, I follow your care instructions, maintain training, medication, and meal routines, and closely monitor your pet's safety and well-being. Plus, you can always expect picture updates so you have full peace of mind while away!

“I can’t recommend Heather highly enough. She was so sweet with our dogs and very thorough during our initial meeting. While we were out of town, she stayed at our house and went above and beyond caring for babies and our space- she vacuumed at the end of her stay and even shoveled our deck, both without being asked. Each day we were gone, Heather sent us multiple photos and updates. We would book with her again in a heartbeat!”

About: Growing up I’ve always had a cat or dog in my household. I’ve fostered puppies, raised a kitten and love hanging out with all animals. My education stems from cognitive science with a minor in canine cognition. I believe in reward based training. I think pets can effectively communicate their needs, we just need to be detailed observers of their behavior. Friends have trusted me with taking care of their pets in the past. I’m currently working part time and taking online classes. I’m sure we can figure out a walk/play routine that fits your needs, my schedule is very flexible. I love getting outside and going for walks with pets! If your dog likes to play inside, that works too! I plan to replicate your furry family members’ normal routine.

We left our two dogs for the first time for two weeks. Lynne was such a great find! She came to meet them before we left and kept us updated the whole time we were away. The peace of mind that someone is caring for them like we would…and in their own home was perfect! If you need a caring, reliable dog sitter call Lynne!

Lauren was willing and capably took care of my senior dog who is diabetic and also has been diagnosed with congestive heart failure. She needs multiple medications several times daily including insulin injections every 12 hours. Though here temperament is very sweet, her care needs are quite high maintenance. It was clear to me that my dog felt comfortable with Lauren the first time she met her, which allowed me to really enjoy being away for a few days at Thanksgiving, knowing my dog would be well cared.

Lauren was a lifesaver, stepping in when we had a medical emergency out of state and couldn’t return home for several days. She was absolutely wonderful with our dog and cat, jumping right in with their routines including giving my diabetic cat medicine. She even taught our dog two new crosswalk commands! In a difficult time, we were so relieved to know our babies were in safe hands with Lauren.

FAQs for House Sitting - Arundel

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Arundel is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $54 and $89 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 November 2026, there are 714 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 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:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
