“Erika did amazing job taking care of my 3 dogs. She sat them for 8 am to 3 pm in my house while I was away. She sent me photos and updates of them playing in the yard, getting treats and cuddling on the couch throughout the day. She is very good with instructions and at keeping the house tidy. My dogs adore her. Thank you Erika!!”
About: I’m a dog mom of two chihuahuas, although I love cats as well! I’ve had my first fur baby since I was 11, the other for a little over a year ago. I love taking them on adventures, pampering them, & of course giving them all the love! I can assure you, your fur babies are safe with me. I work weekends to make ends meet for school! I’m currently attending Paul Mitchell The School in Temecula 3 days a week (wed-friday). I am available for pet sitting after school/work as well as my days off (monday & tuesday). I am very attentive & will make sure any needs will be met for your fur baby! I’m very good at following instructions. I look forward to pet sitting for you:)
About: Hello my furry friend lovers!! I have cared for many different kinds of animals in my life, some of which include dogs,cats,birds,mice,rabbits,guinea pigs,fish,snakes,goats,chickens and now pot belly pigs. We love making homemade treats in our house so I am currently taking some pet nutrition classes to safely make special dietary treats. I am comfortable with all ages and sizes. I would be more than happy to meet you before any final decisions are made so that we can discuss everything there is to know about your pet. I have experience with different illnesses and medications from working with a rescue where I adopted my own angel with a neurological disorder. We absolutely adore pets and I can promise you that you and your baby will be treated like family. I am a stay at home wife that is taking pet nutrition and business classes so I could someday open my own pet boutique where everything is homemade. I promise no potty breaks will be missed and your baby gets all the love and cuddles they can handle. 😊 We have dogs, cats and pot belly pigs for your pet to play with in our fenced yard but we also have big crates for separation if needed. Your baby will be allowed on our furniture to sleep and get cuddles unless you say otherwise lol we do love our snuggles.
About: I've loved animals ever since I was a little kid. I grew up with dogs and have 3 senior rescues at home who still act like puppies. In 2020 I began my journey with cats when I adopted my rescue cat Pams. She is now 6 years old and still thriving alongside my dogs and her new kitten brother. I am comfortable taking care of animals in any age group, and can administer medication, bottle feed, or whatever else your fur baby needs. I try my best to help animals in any way I can, and was able to TNRV all the strays in my neighborhood this year! I look forward to meeting you!! Services Offered: Dog Walking House Drop-Ins House Sitting ** For your pets safety, dog walking will only be offered early mornings/evenings unless your fur baby has pet shoes to keep their paw pads safe from heat! I work full time but have full availability Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays! If you need me for a full weekend reach out and I will gladly work something out. As a house-sitter I will ensure to respect your home, and your pet's routines. I will provide your pet with walks/playtime and ensure I provide a safe comfortable enviroment for them while you're away. I will also send as many update pictures as you'd like to ensure you feel comfortable leaving your fur baby in my care.
About: An animal and nature lover at heart, I am eager to spend time with dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, or any other pets you may have. I have experience with obedience training, grooming, as well as administering medications and meeting special dietary needs. Personally, I have a wonderful, smart and energetic Border Collie/Aussie mix who loves making new friends. We both enjoy playing fetch and tug, learning new tricks and practicing our commands to earn treats. Please let me know how I can help to keep your non-human family member safe, loved, and entertained! I am self-employed and generally have a very flexible schedule. I do often spend stretches of time out of town (mainly LA and Bay Area), so I appreciate scheduling gigs a bit in advance so I can plan accordingly. No one knows your pet better than you, so I will always defer to your lead as to what your pet needs and prefers. That being said, depending on what level of care you desire for your pet, I am happy and comfortable to take dogs for walks or to dog parks, play fetch or hide and seek, practice commands, and give all the belly rubs that they can stand. If you prefer they sleep in a crate, we can definitely manage that; or if they are like my pup and want to use me as a body pillow at night, I would be more that happy to oblige! Just let me know what you are comfortable with! If needed, I am also open to hosting pets at my home (with fenced in yard).

“Aileen was so good with my dogs. She sent lots of update photos and kept in touch. My dogs are on the shy side but they warmed up to her very fast. She is so sweet and my dogs loved her will definitely be booking whenever they need a sitter!”
About: Hello! I am Woody’s Owner ( 2 yo, m, Aussie, 55 lbs) and you got a friend in me! I am communicative, positive, and flexible with your needs. I am high energy, loving, and helpful. Here’s a little about my pet experience: I have volunteered at animal shelters since I was fifteen years old. I have experience with reptiles, birds, cats, and dogs. I enjoy backpacking, hiking, trail walks, and simply crocheting at home with the tv on. I like to watch the next Netflix drama hit, obviously. I have activities to do with high energy dogs and even low energy ones. See you’ve got a friend in me. I’ve got you through the highs and lows. I have open availability most of the week. I am open to any routines owners would like me to continue for their pets. This can be related to food, exercise, medication, and so on. My dog is kennel trained, so he can be separated from any other dogs I’m sitting if the dog I am sitting is not socialized. However, my dog is socialized and will be happy to have a playmate. I can take your pet out as often as you require and I can transport dogs to the dog park if that is okay. I also have extra feeding and water bowls, as well as toys and treats for any dog I am sitting. I also have a fenced yard.
About: I'm an Animal science major on the pre veterinary track at UC Davis which gives be background to provide the best care for our animals! I am a current college student on summer break! I have three household pets with one being my cat. I fit my schedule around theirs as I know routine builds a great foundation! I follow any regulations or information provided for the pet specifically to ensure safety such as medications . I make sure to learn the animals behaviors as well as take things at the animals pace to ensure safety on both ends. I also use my animal science knowledge from college as I am an animal science student.

“I am so happy we had Cadence dog sit for us! She is so professional and sent us updates and pictures. I felt completely comfortable and safe leaving her with our dog. I wouldn't hesitate for a second to ask Cadence to sit for us again; she was fantastic. Our dog was clearly a happy gal!”
“Jennifer was very responsive and attentive to detail. She was able to provide all the necessary compassion and needs for my 4 legged family members to feel comfortable for an at home overnight stay. I would both recocomend her to new clients and look forward to having her back. Thanks! 🙂”
About: From as far back as I can remember I have loved animals of all kinds. My experience with taking care of them goes back equally as far. Throughout the years I have been a manager at Petco, a pet parent many times, a shelter volunteer, and now I have evolved into rescue transport. In 2003 I started FunnyBunnies Pet Sitting & Dog Walking, which has operated in Colorado, Hawaii and now California, and I have loved every minute of it. I have experience with every life stage, am honest, as well as loving and dependable. I will keep your furbabies happy while you are away, and I will be giving you regular updates. I have references you may call if you do so wish. I appreciate all consideration.
“Gianna was a wonderful sitter for my babies! She paid attention to detail and left everything neat and tidy. Very easy to get ahold of and a great communicator. When I got back, all my pets were happy and calm which says a lot about how they were taken care of while I away. Highly recommend!”
“Lynette was wonderful with my fur babies. Because my doggies are older and require extensive care, I am very nervous about leaving them. Lynette made me feel comfortable. She tended to their needs and provided the extra care they needed. She is also extremely reliable, which is hard to find. I appreciate her so much!”
About: I’ve always been fond of animals and am a patient, caring person. I’ve dog sat for a couple family friends and am always on time to feed the doggies. I also have experience giving them medicine (pills). I’m honestly trying to make extra money for college but caring for any pets would come easy to me and it’s something I would enjoy doing! I’m a high school student but I only have 5 classes so I get out early each day. I’ve had my license for over a year now and can easily drive to your house after and even in the mornings before school to feed them. I can multitask with anything as I’m taking care of the dogs/ cats so I would say I can accommodate my schedule around any plans. I will keep a tidy and safe place for your pets. Your pets comfort and safety will always be my top priority and I will keep %100 honest and quick communication with any customer to assure them of any concerns they may have.

FAQs for House Sitting - Lake Arrowhead
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 1,462 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lake Arrowhead. 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 Lake Arrowhead 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 Lake Arrowhead 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 Lake Arrowhead 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.
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.
