“Bailey was amazing with our dog, Murphy! He stayed with him for 4 nights and sent daily pictures and updates. We arrived home and the house was cleaner than we left it! Highly recommend!”
“Kara saved the day for us. We had a family member set to watch our pets and they fell ill. Very last minute, she was able to swoop in and take on my crew. She did a wonderful job with them! Everything was as it was when we left, if not better! The dogs were well loved and so were our guinea pigs. I’ve had sitters in the past that leave the dogs in their crates for long hours and she never did that. She even stayed later to be sure they didn’t have to be alone long. We already have her booked to use her again in October, and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter. Thank you Kara!”
“David’s recent two-week long booking with us to care for our pets in our home was a great experience! David showed his dedication and patience with our elderly (at times problematic and misunderstood) Shih Tzu mix, Rookie. I honestly think Rookie keeps looking for David, even two days after we returned home, and that alone is a huge endorsement coming from Rookie. David communicated with us often about the status and goings-on of our pets and household while we were away. Numerous pictures and videos assured us that everybody was healthy, happy and well-adjusted to having David care for them. Lastly, David was willing to help out with indoor plant watering, and obviously respected our home by his neatness by leaving the house as he found it. He even took it on himself to do towels and linens laundry, and we had clean sheets on the bed after our long planes-trains-and-automobiles-journey home. We would highly recommend David for in-your-home sitting, and will be booking him in the future.”
“My dogs loved Jenelle and so did we! We could tell from the interactions that they were in very capable and loving hands. Throughout the stay, Jenelle sent numerous photos (and texts) of her playing,exercising and cuddling with both Ivy and Harley We left detailed instructions for the care of our house and pets which she followed to our greatest satisfaction. Our house was spotless when we returned and both dogs were happy and content We have finally met a very responsible and affectionate young lady that we can entrust with the care of our home and pets to. We plan on hiring Jenelle in the future and highly recommend her services. When it comes to trusting the care of both home and pets to someone and having peace of mind in doing so, we have been truly blessed with Jenelle. 🙂”
About: I've taken care of pets most of my life. I am starting to gain expert/professional experience. I absolutely appreciate and love time spent with animals of all sorts I have plenty of time and an open schedule. As I am new to Rover, I am excited to start this journey. I look forward to serving your family! I have a fenced in yard. I can crate your pet. I will spoil your furr baby; as long as you're happy with doing so.
About: I’ve always had such a soft spot for animals! I’m naturally loving, patient, and nurturing. I know how much pets mean to their families, and I would treat yours just like my own! I want you to feel at ease knowing your fur baby is getting all the love, attention, and care they deserve! I work from 9-5 on Mondays and Thursdays. 12-6 on tuesdays and Wednesdays. I’m available on the weekends and any day before and after work! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities! I provide a loving, attentive environment while respecting each pet’s unique needs and daily routines. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Elaine was an absolute lifesaver for us! Last minute, she stepped in with kindness and genuine love for both our mini Bernedoodle and kitten, making our first time away from them so much easier. She stayed right in our home, creating a cozy and familiar environment that kept our fur babies calm and happy. Throughout the day, we received adorable photos and thoughtful updates that truly put our minds at ease. If you’re a pet owner on the hunt for an amazing sitter, look no further—Elaine is the one you want! Her care went above and beyond, and it was clear she treated our pets like her own. We’re beyond grateful and can’t wait to have Elaine back again—such a wonderful, heartwarming experience all around!”
About: I have grown up on a farm and I have 4 dogs and love them with my whole heart. I’ve ridden horses since I was 5 years old. I just love being around all of my furry friends! I have dogs sat in the past, but I’m trying to expand my clientele I do online college classes for school, so I am very flexible. I have tons of family member able to take care of my puppies and horses while I’m gone. I treat every single animal with love and care. I have 4 of my own and I would never want anyone to treat my babies poorly.
About: I will treat your babies just like mine. I will take them to dog parks, on my boat, or adventures if you'd like and if theyre adventurous. I have lifejackets for all sizes. Also, I'm amazing with senior dogs if they just want to relax at home. Currently, my dog is 13 years old that I've had since she were puppy. The most important would be away from your pups are 4.5 hours. I own and run a boat tour business in the area. Most of my trips are 4 hours max. Whatever your rules are at your home is what I do. When I take them out on adventures I always keep them on leash unless it is gated. Even if they have recall, I don't chance that.
About: Willing to be trained, lol. But seriously paying attention to detail and keeping all pets healthy is key to caring for the pet and friend. Part time work now and care here is part time pay. It fits in quite naturally as pets keep ya healthy just walking around . I have them inside and take for long walks around the peaceful community at the Christian Retreat. Whatever activity that is needed can be achieved.
About: As long as I can remember I have loved being able to help others out by watching their babies. What sets me apart is my patience, reliability, and genuine care for every child I work with. I take the time to understand each child’s personality and needs, while keeping them safe, engaged, and comfortable. I’m dependable, communicative, and always aim to give parents peace of mind. While my kids are at school, I have plenty of time to provide attentive and loving care for your pets. I understand that some pet owners may feel more comfortable having their pets cared for without children around, especially if their pet is nervous or fearful of children. During school hours, I’m able to focus completely on your pet and make sure they receive the care, attention, and comfort they need in a calm environment. I always follow the care instructions and routines provided by each pet owner. If you have a specific list of rules, feeding schedule, medications, activities, or boundaries for your pet, I will make sure to follow them carefully. I’m happy to play, cuddle, and spend extra time with your pet if you’re comfortable with that. However, if your pet prefers their own space or you would rather I only provide the care they need, I will completely respect that and never force interaction. For overnight care, if your pet is comfortable staying in their own home, I can travel back and forth as needed to let them out, feed them, and make sure they’re doing well. If you’re comfortable with your pet staying with me instead, I can bring them into my home and keep them completely separated from my children so everyone stays safe and comfortable. My priority is always following your preferences while making sure your pet feels secure, cared for, and respected.

Your pet will be safe in my care! The importance for your pet to be in its most comfortable environment is what I strive for! By watching your pet from your home their schedule can be exactly at your request. I will work to make this the easiest & enjoyable experience for your pet. Thank you! Meet and greets are highly encouraged to ensure I am the right fit for your pet. I am available at all times of the day. I am centrally located in Cape Coral, but am willing to drive 30+ miles.
“Kelli is a sweetheart! She took such great care of my pups while I was gone. One who has been recently diagnosed with diabetes, didn’t slow her down a bit. She worked with the vet and adjusted medication dosages as needed. Very much competent to handle complicated health issues. Love her! And you will too! Great job Kelli!”
About: I will walk the dogs multiple times a day and night, if needed. My puppy can come along with me as a friend to play with for your pet if interested, he loves all pets! I am very attentive and loving and take dogs with me everywhere I go, if they are able and want to. I am overall very flexible, loving, attentive, accommodating, and interact with all pets in my own constantly - whether that be talking to them, playing with them in and outside, brushing, petting them while they rest and giving treats (if allowed). Sebastian is my puppy and he is still learning about the world but very sweet and adjusts to all pets if you want me to bring him for your furbaby to have a friend also! If not thats ok too, I am only caring for pets in their own home though and happy to take them to parks etc to play if prefer! I work from home, so I have a very flexible schedule and make my own schedule. I walk multiple times a day as well as go to dog parks that are safe where I know the regulars. I am very loving, attentive, flexible and experienced. I was a Nanny for high profile families in Los Angeles & DC. I have been a Certified Nanny & Caregiver for disabled children, teens and adults as well as a Petsitter, Housesitter, and Personal Assistsnt to CEO’s for 20 years before I switched to working from home. I have experience in countless homes and family dynamics with a variety of pets, children, rules and preferences for pets and home care. I am open to dogs in training as I am still training my own as well. He has an overall very playful then relaxed demeanor, and loves all animals I petsit!

The average cost of House Sitting in Southeast Arcadia is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $56 and $56 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 Southeast Arcadia 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 Southeast Arcadia 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 Southeast Arcadia 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.
