“Thank you Thalia for all your help while sitting for my cat Toby! It was nice to be able to get out of town for a week and know that he had a compassionate companion to stay overnight with him while I was away. I appreciate all your kindness, gentleness and care!”
“Steph did an absolutely fantastic job house sitting for us while caring for our three dogs and five cats. From the moment we left, she made us feel completely at ease with consistent updates, including thoughtful photos and videos that showed all our pets happy, well cared for, and getting plenty of attention. She went above and beyond with walks for the dogs, playtime for everyone, and made sure each of our cats was comfortable and sticking to their routines. It was clear she treated our home and our animals with genuine care and respect. We came back to a calm, clean home and very content pets, which says everything. We wouldn’t hesitate to book Steph again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and communicative house sitter.”
“Kind and compassionate, Mel was perfect to petsit for my wire-haired dachshund, Sketch. Sketch ended up with a toe injury right before I left, and Mel gently soaked it in Epsom's salt. She was very caring and seemed to communicate a sense of safety to Sketch. Sketch was just fine when I returned. I definitely recommend Mel.”
“Suzy was INCREDIBLE. So conscientious about keeping my house clean and my doggo loved her. I didn't worry about her once when I was gone. I would absolutely use Suzy again, anytime she's available.”
About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 7. Growing up I always had dogs and would walk, play , feed, give medicine and bathe them. When I was 10 that was my first job I would walk and bathe the neighbors dogs. I take care of my sisters dogs I also started house sitting and dog sitting, walking , feeding, bathing, and watering the plants and feeding the chickens at my bosses house, when he goes on vacations and also neighbours and friends dogs. Also I walk dogs for a lady who has ms. I am a dog lover and all dogs love me back. I had 3 chihuahuas that passed away from old age and now I have a rescue and he is amazing! I would care for your fur baby like it’s my own. I currently am working part time. I do have time to spend time and take care of your pets! If I have to go to work I will make sure your dog is fed and goes potty as well as after I get off work. I have 1 dog. He is a chihuahua mix rescue, we live in an apartment. He is free to rome around the apartment. My dog can eat when ever he wants. But if that is not the case for your dog. I feed them following your rules. I take my dog potty breaks every 4 hours .
“Krystin was a life saver and took such great care of our two retrievers! She is very communicative and timely, and she treated our home with respect. We can’t wait to book her again!”
“Jill was able to help dogsit and housesit so my anxious rescue dog did not have to be alone. Jill was kind and gentle and had lots of wisdom! Its been the perfect match for my good dog who is just really scared. Would recommend 10/10 🐾”
“We don't leave Elmo often and are nervous when we do because of his separation anxiety. Having said that Seven came in and treated him to some great hikes and companionship. He was happy to see us but comfortably so and a happy dog overall. Our plants were well cared for also and our home looked immaculate when we got home. We would happily recommend Seven to care for your home and pets and will gladly request his help again in the future.”
“Jim, Elmo and I were very happy with Simone. We felt very comfortable leaving our house and our Elmo with her and will definitely be in touch when we need a house and pet sitter in the future.”
“It was great to know my dog was well taken care of and that even though I was from out of town, I found someone so trustworthy! Morgan stayed at my house for a few nights and left the house spotless! If you are in Sedona for a short time and don’t want your dog to bake in the sun, know that Morgan will take great care of your dog!”
“Kalyn is wonderful. My house was in order, my pets were happy and she went above and beyond for me. She is excellent at communicating and even sent me pictures of my babies during my trip which was priceless. I highly recommend her!”
“We just had Maddie house sit for us for the first time. What a relief to have her stay - she’s reaponsible trustworthy and communicative. I could tell from the pics of our kitties that they’re loving having her around! Thank you for being a calming and consistent presence for them while we’re away!”
“My husband passed away recently and I had to travel back East for his memorial and final internment. My 3 cats were already saddened by Bob's passing, and I was very nervous about having to leave them with strangers for any period of time. Linda came to visit before I hired her, and the cats got to meet her. The day before I left, she stopped by again to go over a checklist I made to assist with their care (Abby has medical issues that require extra care), and to pick up the keys to the house. I'm sure they were a little apprehensive about her being here in my absence, but she took good care of them all. She updated me with pictures, and was always quick to respond to my texts. Linda made a difficult journey for me less stressful with her care, and I am grateful I was able to hire her when I really needed someone to be there for my animals.”
“First time I've used a pet sitter so was a little nervous at first. Zack was great at communicating and sending pics. 'Kids' were perfectly happy when I got home and house was immaculate. Thank you Zack for peace of mind when I travel from now on!”
“Carolyn did an amazing job. Our pups loved her. She took 2 of our 3 dogs on walks daily. Everything we requested was followed with no issues. Look no further for someone to look after your furbabies.”
“Wow!! Jennifer is the best house/dog sitter I have ever used. She messaged us with pics and videos of Molly (our dog) once or twice every day and let us know how she was doing. I could see that she paid a lot of attention to Molly. Molly is a little older and recently had a seizure so she takes a couple medications twice a day, which was no issue for Jennifer. When we got home, Molly seemed very relaxed like she had a great week. The house was immaculate, and the sheets she used were washed and waiting for us in the dryer even though we didn't expect that. I'm really impressed and I'm not easily impressed. Thank you Jennifer and Molly thanks you too!!!!”
“Kami is the pet sitter that we've been looking for since we've had dogs in our family. Freyja and Raven "took to her" immediately. Two German Shepherd Dogs, each weighing well over 100 lbs., were "easy" for Kami. She played fetch with them, took them for regular exploration walks around our property, made sure that they were well fed and watered... But most importantly, Kami treated them like family. She also looked after our home and plants that needed attention while we were away. I'd like to keep her as "our own secret" so that she does not become too busy! When we go away for day trips or over-night adventures, we will look for Kami again here on Rover.”
“Gary and April were excellent in every way. coming over to meet Phineas prior to staying over for two nights. 10 stars! Showing up on time always with a smile on their face! 10 stars and finally the piece of mind that I didn’t have to worry about my baby while I was away for two nights. 10 stars!! Thank you Gary and April!”

Mel did a recent overnight sit for us, on a holiday. She was courteous and attentive at our meet and greet. She listened to our needs and followed our instructions for the car of our 2 yellow labs. Our house was neat and tidy upon our return. We feel that Maggie and Ellie were well cared for and loved by her in our absence. Great experience.

FAQs for House Sitting - Clarkdale
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Clarkdale on Rover is $61.05 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 183 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Clarkdale. 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 Clarkdale 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 Clarkdale 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 Clarkdale 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.
