“Susan was wonderful! She gave lots of updates, and I could tell in the meet-up that she would give my dogs lots of love. Will definitely use her again for house-sitting!”
“Amanda was great! She was able to house sit for our senior dog and cat while we were away for a week on vacation. Our dog takes a long time to trust new strangers and her experience really showed as she was so patient and understanding of his needs. She was excellent with her communication and sent frequent updates with photos of our fur babies throughout the week. It was very comforting to see how they were doing. She went above and beyond to attend to their needs. We’re so grateful for her help!”
“Ken is amazing!! He took great care of Dixie (and my home) while I was away, and will definitely book him again!!! He's greatly professional and his love of dogs shines through!”
About: Hello and welcome! I'm Heather, but I go by Xel (pronounced •zel•) and it's nice to meet you! I have owned more dogs and cats (as well as a ferret, lizard, fish, and a spider and have handled various others) than I can count through the years (I'm almost 40 and we've had a LOT!). Everything from domestic shorthair to Bengal-mix and Schnauzers to German Shepherds. I have house-sat for both friends and family for many years (short and extended!) and I have administered medicine in pill form, as well as inhaler (would be willing to learn injections if necessary). Our oldest cats have lived 18 years, and I currently own four cats (all rescues, aged 2 to 16). Our oldest dogs have lived 15+ I believe, but it's been a long time since owning one (my parents are disabled). I have done a bit of training with dogs and cats alike, but I am not a professional. I'm HIGHLY flexible, so if you would like to know more, feel free to reach out! If you've made it this far, have a lovely day! ♡ I'm available at a moments' notice the majority of the time! This includes overnights, emergencies, and short/extended stays. As long as there is clear communication, I'll do my best to aid in any situation, even if it's within the hour! ♡ For our own cats, our oldest, Max, has to be fed separately from the others, as he needs a higher calorie diet than the others. All of the cats are treated with flea medication and I clean multiple litter boxes several times a week. For friends and family, I have had feeding schedules for both dogs and cats, ranging from custom mixed and weighed portions to simply making sure the auto-feeders/fountains are kept clean and filled. My best friend's dog gets playtime and outside time (he has a runner and a ton of toys to play fetch with). My Aunt's cat would need constant watch, as he needed an inhaler if he walked too far or his anxiety flared. I'm also open to doing light chores, so feel free to reach out with any and all questions! Thank you for your consideration! ♡
“Stephanie was a life saver. I had a short notice booking. She was able to fit in a meet and greet, which was very important because we have a high anxiety dog. She was sweet and calm with my dogs, and also playful for my high energy dog. And our high anxiety dog started to warm up to her after a day or so: She left our home clean and orderly. Would definitely recommend!”

Pet care fits into my daily and weekly routine through scheduled feeding, walks, playtime, and check-ins.

I prioritize creating a safe, clean, and loving environment where every pet feels comfortable and at home. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs and will always treat them as if they were my own!
“John is very professional and patient. Our sensitive boy is challenging to handle and John adapted to our dog's preference and giving him enough time, also tried several ways to build trust. Although our boy didn't accept him right away I believe it is only a matter of time our boy will open his mind. The time spent and the understanding shared towards our special boy are much appreciated.”
“Jessica was amazing with my dogs. They were well take care of and she took the time to play with them and give them love and attention. I will definitely ask her to watch them again if I need a sitter and I highly recommend her”
About: I’m vigilant and will keep your pup safe on a walk, will make sure they have time to do their business, and allow them to stop and smell the roses along the way. I work from home and love dogs so this is perfect opportunity for me to earn a little extra money and give a little extra love. I am used to watching dogs that need constant supervision. My husky required constant supervision during his puppy months and is now potty trained and the best boy.

“Rose was so responsible and professional! She arrived promptly, texted me frequently with photos, and kept me current on our pup's condition. She clearly enjoys animals and seems most confident in her role as a seasoned pet sitter.”
About: My Personal Approach & Passion for Pets My genuine love for animals is what drives my pet care style. I am patient, trustworthy, and naturally observant, making it easy for me to connect with pets of all temperaments. For me, pet sitting isn’t just a task; it is about providing a warm, low-stress environment where your animals feel entirely safe, happy, and treated like family while you are away. What Sets Me Apart:I offer a highly adaptive environment for all pets and life stages, including dogs, cats, and puppies. I easily handle the high energy and training support needed for playful youngsters, as well as the gentle comfort, slow pace, and strict medication schedules required for senior companion animals. I customize my daily routine to mirror yours, ensuring your pet enjoys a seamless transition with plenty of interactive play, cozy naps, and affection. Pet care is the main focus of my daily routine because I work from home full-time. This flexibility allows me to provide constant supervision, frequent potty breaks every 2 to 3 hours, and interactive playtime throughout the day. My weekly schedule is highly consistent, meaning your dogs, cats, or puppies will enjoy a reliable routine with plenty of companionship and zero long periods spent alone. I create a safe, pet-proofed environment where your dogs, cats, or puppies are treated like family. They have full access to comfortable resting spots, fresh water, and supervised play. I follow your exact feeding schedules, crate routines, and potty windows to keep their days consistent and stress-free. In Your Home (Drop-Ins/Sitting): I respect your space while prioritizing your pet's comfort. During visits, I handle feeding, refreshing water bowls, cleaning litter boxes, and administering any required medications. I make sure to include plenty of quality playtime or belly rubs, and I always send you photo updates so you know they are safe and happy.
“Emma took wonderful care of Matteo, Niko, and Marcello while my mom and I were away! She kept us updated, followed their care instructions, and made sure everyone had food, fresh water, and attention. Matteo got his walk, and the cats’ litter box was kept clean. She was also flexible when our return time changed, which I really appreciated! It was reassuring to hear that all three were comfortable and following her around, even Marcello was showing off his zoomies! 😂 I would happily book Emma again and recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable pet sitter! 🐾”
“Rebekah and her daughter took good care of our dogs while we were away from home. They sent daily pictures and updates, which I appreciated. The house was well cared for also. My dogs have allergies and, therefore, challenging feeding routines, but Rebekah followed the instructions faithfully. She walked the dogs as well. I’d be very happy to have her take care of our home and dogs again. She even did the dishes and washed all the bedding for us!”
About: I’ve taken care of my 2 dogs a few years ago, and I currently have 3 cats. I’ve even helped one of my cats to give birth. I've also took care of my friend's cat for a few months. I work from Monday to Friday, so I will have plenty of time to be with your pet on weekends. I’m available for all types of services on weekends. I have 3 cats to keep your furry friend company, and I’m also able to fence my cats or your furry friend if needed, or separate them in separate room.
About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give every pet. I know how important it is to leave your furry family member with someone you can trust, so I make it my priority to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment while you’re away. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime or prefers a quiet day filled with cuddles, I’ll make sure they receive the care and attention they’re used to at home. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering oral medications if needed, and keeping you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing. I’m also experienced with puppies who need extra patience, consistency, and potty breaks, as well as senior pets who may require a slower pace, medication, or additional comfort and care. Every pet is treated with kindness, respect, and lots of love because I believe they deserve nothing less. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing your pet is safe, happy, and in caring hands. As a military veteran, reliability, responsibility, and attention to detail are second nature to me. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I enjoy spending time with animals and providing them with consistent, dependable care. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give each pet the time and attention they deserve, whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company.

“Destini was great and really helped me to have peace of mind knowing that someone was with my fur babies during my vacation. She was very thorough and detail-oriented and helped me with not only my animals but with watering plants as well! Highly recommend her!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Clarkdale
Dixie was fantastic! We have used a lot of different sitter, but Dixie was by far the best. She communicated regularly and clearly. She sent updates and made sure to ask all the right questions anytime something happens with our pets. Great house guest, everything was just how we left it. Will book again!
I wish they had more than 5 stars! Susan was so professional as she stayed to care for our 2 rat terriers. When we were gone she sent pictures of our pups. We felt so secure that she was caring for our pups the whole time. I would whole hardly recommend her for sitting for your pet. We certainly hire her again in the future!

The average cost of House Sitting in Clarkdale is $18 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $18 per night.

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 , 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.
