“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.”
“We were quite lucky since Mel was available for our kiddos. Great fit and with house-sitting besides. We have very needy pets, dogs and cats. They took to Mel. We look forward to future bookings.”
About: I have taken care of my own puppies and neighbor dogs. On top of being in a grooming career for the past 11 years. I really love and enjoy being in the company of doggies. I am almost always grooming, or helping others take care of their animals. I really enjoy caring for, and cuddling them and make it a priority. I have a big nice yard and plenty of space in my house for all of your puppies to receive the best quality of care.
“Zack was great with our dogs! It was so nice to take a vacation and know our pups were in good hands and we also came home to a clean house. We can’t wait to use Zack again!.”

Thank you Gary and April!”

About: Hi I'm looking to create some good long or short term connections with you and your pets, I've been dog , cat, frog and even goat sitting for many many years but have decided to branch out to rover in hopes of finding some new friends, if you're looking for someone who's fun and has experience all the way to senior dogs, hopefully I'm the person for you, I've spent the last year taking care of a senior dog full time and now sadly have a lot of free time in my schedule, I have experience with medications, long walks, short walks, separation anxiety and anything else you may throw my way. I work nights so I have a lot of free time during the day to devote to your pets and I love being outside so getting to spend time with animals all day is the actual dream I'm an experienced house sitter as well as a pet sitter so I'm great with people's homes and always respect the owners personal habits and areas
“Mike took great care of our dog, cat, fish and home over the holidays! He asked great questions ahead of time, and checked in with me daily while we were away to let me know how everyone was doing. Our elderly dog was perfectly calm when we got home, so I know he felt loved and safe while we were away.”
About: I grew up with collies and shelties since I was little. Having had to brush, walk and clean fluffy doggies since then. I love exercise and always down to take them for walks and play. I have multiple references for pet sitting from big to small doggies. I love to send photos and video to ensure your pet is having a good time and well taken cared of 🩷😇🩷 I am a full time artist, working from home mainly with occasional travel. I am a cat owner myself but have extensive experience taking care of all sorts of amazing pets throughout the years. I follow the owners instructions and ensure that your furry friends are take care of properly with extra sweet talk and attention to detail. I have a 2 bedroom house near a creek and trails for walks.
About: Hi, my name is Kelly, and my husband, Dahl, and I will both be primary dog watchers. I work from home full-time, and he works from home part time. Our young girls, Lily and Rosie, and our nanny, Nancy, will also be interacting with your dogs on a regular basis. They are sweet, calm girls who love dogs and do very well with them. We are flexible with drop-off and pick-up times, since I work from home, so someone is here almost all of the time. We have watched many dogs for friends over the years, and this seemed like a great way to expand on that. I love dogs, and my favorite dog- sitting experience was when my neighbor needed someone to watch her puppy during the day while she worked. I picked him up in the morning and dropped him off at night. I helped train him and just loved on him all day. I was a second mom to him, and we still get very excited to see each other. I often watch him when his parents are out of town now. My husband had a dog for 9 years growing up, and also loves dogs. We are so excited to meet your fur-babies!! I work full-time from home so we will be available to care for your pets day and night. We have a fenced off backyard with an entire section dedicated to the dogs we watch. We have a fenced in backyard with a fenced in pool and often walk around our neighborhood and to the local park. We can watch dogs from multiple families at a time as long as the families approve and both dogs are good with other dogs. We do this on a case by case basis.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Clarkdale is $59
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Clarkdale
We ended up needing a sitter for our dog while in Jerome and booked Jill super last minute and I was so thrilled she accepted. Tak has some separation anxiety and that paired with an unknown home made her pretty nervous. But as soon as Jill walked in the door she immediately liked her. Jill was so patient and comforting to Tak while we were out and I could tell she was well cared for and loved. I would HIGHLY recommend Jill if you are in the area. If we ever come back we will for sure book with her again.
It is not often you ask someone to stay in your RV at and RV resort. Steve took it in stride. He watched both my dogs. One which we only had for 2 weeks and was 7 months old puppy. Both had kennal cough and needed medication twice daily. Steve took great care of both. Left my home clean. I would highly recommend him to watch anyone's animals.

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 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.
