About: Dogs have always been family to me. About 15 years ago, I turned that love into a career, and for 10 years, I owned K9-Games, a dog training business specializing in in-home training and board-and-train programs. I’m a certified dog trainer and behavior specialist and a graduate of Starmark Academy for Professional Dog Trainers in Texas. Throughout my career, I’ve cared for and trained hundreds of dogs, from eight-week-old puppies to seniors. I’ve also shared my life with two German Shepherds and an English Mastiff, so I know firsthand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your dog. Puppies hold a special place in my heart! A happy puppy is one whose needs are met—and I’m here to help with potty breaks, playtime, learning, and plenty of love. I can help with housebreaking, basic obedience, leash manners, polite greetings, and socialization while reinforcing the routines and training you’re working on at home. I’m also comfortable supporting dogs who need a slower introduction and extra time to feel at ease. My experience goes beyond walks and training. Administering medications was part of my daily routine at K9-Games, and I have years of experience caring for dogs with medication needs and supporting dogs recovering from surgery. I’ll carefully follow your instructions and your veterinarian’s care plan, including prescribed medications, activity restrictions, and recovery routines. I offer walks and drop-in visits tailored to your dog’s needs, including feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, companionship, and agreed-upon training reinforcement. From an energetic puppy to a senior who needs a gentler pace, I’ll take the time to understand what makes your dog comfortable and keep their care consistent with your routine. For repeat clients and dogs I care for regularly, I’m also open to discussing care while you’re out of town, depending on availability and your dog’s needs. Building a relationship over time means your dog will already know me, and I’ll know their personality, routines, and preferences. My goal is to provide consistent, loving care with someone both you and your dog trust. You’ll receive photo updates and a recap after every visit, including walks, meals, potty breaks, and anything noteworthy. I want you to feel connected and confident in your dog’s care, even when you can’t be there. After K9-Games closed, I moved into a different field. Recently losing my oldest dog reminded me that working with dogs is what truly brings me joy. Returning to dog care feels like coming back to something I’ve always loved. I’m knowledgeable, reliable, and genuinely invested in the dogs I care for. My own dogs are my family, and I’ll care for yours with that same love, patience, and attention. The first part of my day is dedicated to my first love—dogs! I’m available during that time for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, medications, and puppy care, including potty breaks and training reinforcement. Later in the day, I volunteer at a jiu-jitsu school, supporting children and their families. Caring for others—whether they have two legs or four—is something that brings me joy. I schedule visits around those commitments so each dog receives the time and attention they deserve. For regular clients, I’m happy to discuss a consistent schedule that works for your dog’s routine. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my first priorities. Before care begins, I’ll take the time to learn about their routine, personality, medical needs, and any behavioral concerns or triggers. With 15 years of experience and a background as a certified dog trainer and behavior specialist, I understand the importance of building trust and allowing each dog to feel comfortable at their own pace. When caring for your dog in your home, I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, medications, potty breaks, exercise, and training reinforcement. I have years of experience administering medications and caring for dogs recovering from surgery, and I’ll carefully follow your veterinarian’s instructions and any activity restrictions. I’m mindful of doors, gates, and potential hazards, and I’ll check that your dog’s collar or harness is secure before walks. I won’t allow off-leash activity in unsecured areas or introduce your dog to unfamiliar animals without discussing it with you first. Each visit will be tailored to your dog’s age, energy level, health, and comfort. You’ll receive photos and a recap after every visit, and I’ll promptly communicate any changes or concerns I notice. Before our first visit, I’ll also confirm your veterinarian’s information and an emergency contact so I’m prepared if an unexpected situation arises. I’ll respect your home, keep your keys and access information secure, and make sure your dog is settled and your home is locked according to your instructions before leaving. My goal is for you to feel confident that both your dog and your home are in caring, responsible hands.

About: I wasn’t allowed to have pets as a kid, so I frequently visited my friends’ houses and play with their animals. I love my kitties and will love on your cats & dogs as if they’re my own! My kitties have FIV so I’m used to cleaning their space and sneaking supplements into their food. I work full time in the afternoons, so mornings are best for me! The earlier the better. I have time to take care of my babies so I’d love to help take care of yours too. I’ll take the best care of your pet in your home! A clean space for a pet to live is so crucial to their health, and I’d love to help you with that.

About: I've grown up around and taken care of dogs since I was a kid. Started sitting for my family and friends of the family when I was about 11 and then neighbors started to have me sit and take care of their animals. I love animals and we usually become quick friends. I have an open and flexible schedule. I'm available weekdays, weekends and holidays. I can work with whatever schedule you and your pets needs are. The day to day is largely based on what your house and or pets needs are from giving medication at specific times to watering plants.

About: I have owned and loved dogs my entire life. As I grew older, my love for animals grew stronger. I have been pet sitting for about a year now, and absolutley love every moment of it. I am currently not working, so I have a lot of free time. However, I do have college classes on mondays and wednesdays at 11:15 and 2:30. I am not a discipline oriented care giver. I redirect them or send them outside, and reward the good behavior with treats. Animals are allowed to sleep with me in my bed, and are allowed on furniture.

About: Hi! My name is Teryn! I am an 18 year old who has been around the block when it comes to taking care of pets. I currently have 7 dogs of all sizes, I have two German Shepherds, two Australian Shepherds (mini & toy) and three Dachshunds (Weiner dogs). I have grown up surrounded by all types of dogs, young and old. My dogs currently are age ranged between 2 and 15. I can work with other animals too! I grew up with cats and have had pet fish and a pet Bearded Dragon. Plus Im a quick learner! I love all animals and am very reliable and trust worthy. I also used to volunteer weekly at a non-profit/non-kill animal shelter where I socialize the dogs and work with them. Along with my age, comes energy. I am a very energetic person who loves to exercise with my dogs. I personally take my own dogs on hikes, and walks often. So energetic dogs are my speed! But I can always go for a nice nap on the couch with a mellow dog/cat too. I put 120% into everything I do and I would love to put 120% into taking care of your pets! While I do have a very flexible part time job where I work up to 8 hours, I still find time to take care of my pets daily. From feeding them to bathing them bi-weekly. Even with a part time job I make sure I can give my pets the best care. Another thing I would like to mention is that I am more than able to work around my work schedule and take work off as they are so flexible. Even while working, I try exercising my dogs often (especially the big dogs) and I work on new tricks with them. Along with a part time job, I am currently enrolled in college, but I only have one in person class that is twice a week so I don’t let that get in my way of my pet care. In order to take care of my own pets, I make sure to feed them twice a day and let them out every 2-4 hours. I work with my dogs on new tricks and take them on hikes/walks with me. With my clients animals I would like to have a list of their daily needs to I can meet the owners standards for their pet(s). I always aspire to give both the pets and owners a great experience with my dog sitting skills.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities, from energetic pups to relaxed seniors. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, maintaining feeding and potty schedules, administering oral medications, and adapting to each dog’s unique routine. I understand that every dog has different needs, whether that’s a leisurely walk, playtime, extra patience with anxiety, or simply quiet companionship. I pay close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, and energy level so I can quickly communicate anything important to you. Your dog’s safety and comfort always come first, and I’ll treat them with the same love, patience, and care I’d want for my own pets. Hi! I’m a dependable, detail-oriented animal lover who understands that pets are family. I have experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I work from home the majority of the month and am home every Monday and Friday. On those days, my children are at school, so it’s just me, my two cats, and your pet at home. This gives your pet plenty of attention, companionship, and a calm environment throughout the day. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so communication is a priority. You’ll receive regular updates with photos, videos, and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, energy level, medications, and favorite activities so they receive personalized care. Whether your pet loves walks and playtime or prefers a quiet day with lots of cuddles and relaxation, I’ll follow their routine and make sure they feel comfortable. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness will always come first. Your pet’s safety is my highest priority. Before every booking, I like to learn about your pet’s routine, personality, medical needs, triggers, and favorite activities so I can provide care that’s as close to home as possible. If caring for your pet in my home, I only accept calm, well-mannered dogs that are comfortable around cats, since I have two cats of my own. Dogs stay indoors in a clean, smoke-free home, receive potty breaks at least three times a day, fresh water at all times, and walks as needed. For visits in your home, I respect your space, carefully follow your instructions, and make sure your pet stays comfortable by maintaining their normal routine. I treat every home with the same care and respect I would expect for my own.

I understand that leaving your furry babies with someone else can be stressful, so my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, loved, and right at home. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual personality, routine, and needs, whether they’re a playful puppy, an energetic dog, or a sweet senior who needs a little extra patience and care. I’m also happy to provide lots of playtime, walks, cuddles, feeding, potty breaks, medication reminders, and plenty of updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I have a flexible schedule and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m able to dedicate plenty of time to walks, playtime, potty breaks, feeding, and giving pets the attention and companionship they need. I’m reliable, organized, and happy to work with each pet’s individual routine and schedule. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always follow their normal routine as closely as possible. In my home, I provide a safe, clean, comfortable environment with plenty of love, attention, playtime, walks, and supervision. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, potty breaks, and daily routines.

Bo was extremely anxious with me leaving out of state suddenly for a family emergency. This resulted in some bad behaviors and Hannah stepped right in without hesitation and with full understanding. She went above and beyond the required check-ins and feedings, taking Bo on walks to reduce anxiety, and with getting permission she also gave him some calming treats which worked perfectly. She played with him and corrected those bad behaviors. Hannah truly has a full understanding of dogs and recognizing those anxious behaviors and also how to rectify them. I could not have had a sitter be a better fit to care for Bo while I was gone. I am particular who I trust with Bo, and I would absolutely trust Hannah with him anytime! He adores her and was so happy to see her with each visit. He became very comfortable with her after just a couple of visits. He just didn’t want her to leave. 😊 I’ve had other dog sitters in the past and she is by far the best!! Thanks so much for everything, Hannah!!

So happy we found Katherine to do drop in visits for our dog. She was attentive, friendly and our Luna loved meeting her. During her visits, she would take Luna out to go potty, play with her and fill up her water bowl every time. I could tell that our dog was happy just by the smile on her face from the pics she sent me. Felt good knowing that our girl was being well taken care of. I would highly recommend, Katherine and look forward to using her again in the future!

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Anthem

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Anthem is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 4,306 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Anthem. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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 Anthem 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!

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 .

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.

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 .

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Anthem with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Anthem. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% can help with daily exercise

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.

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.
