“Victoria did an amazing job taking care of our 2 pups. She sent tons of pictures everyday and left our house immaculate. Will be happy to have her take care of our dogs again.”
“Cheylee was awesome from the start! Communication was really easy for the meet and greet, she took notes on top of the care instruction on my profile and wanted to make sure my dog was as comfortable as possible. I received tons of updates when I was gone and she was flexible with my changing travel schedule. My place looked the same (if not maybe even cleaner) than when I left. Couldn’t recommend her more and will absolutely be the first person I contact for future needs!”
“Scott was an incredible dog sitter! We have two dogs — one elderly and one very high energy — plus a cat, and he handled all of them so well. He sent lots of great photos and updates throughout our trip, which gave us so much peace of mind. When we got home, the house looked fantastic, and it was clear our pets had been very well cared for. Beyond that, Scott is just a genuinely great person. We were so happy with him and will definitely use him again!”
About: Hi! I’m a dedicated animal lover and experienced pet caregiver with a home full of personality including my two Shar-Peis (Dior and Hercules) and two tortoises(Cleo and Franklin). Caring for my special needs Shar-Pei Hercules has taught me patience, attentiveness, and how important individualized care is for every pet. I know pets are family, and I treat every animal with the same love, safety, and attention I give my own. Whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, routine, or extra patience, I’m committed to making them feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I work part-time (8 days per month), which allows me to dedicate a large portion of my time to pet care. My daily routine already revolves around caring for my own pets, including two Shar-Peis—one with special needs—and two tortoises. Because of this, I’m experienced in maintaining consistent schedules, providing attentive supervision, and adapting care based on each animal’s individual needs. I’m able to offer dependable, flexible care and give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide a loving, calm, and attentive environment where pets are treated like family. I understand that every animal has different needs, personalities, and routines, and I make it a priority to follow their schedule as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. In my home, pets receive plenty of attention, supervised play, potty breaks, exercise, and affection. I have experience caring for my own two Shar-Peis, including one with special needs, which has taught me patience, awareness, and the importance of individualized care. I also care for two tortoises, giving me experience with animals beyond dogs as well. I’m attentive to behavior, eating habits, and overall comfort, and I’m happy to follow any feeding, medication, or care instructions you provide. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and at home while giving you peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I have had cats, dogs, and horses for my whole life, worked as a small animal and large animal vet tech for 6 years. Went to Pima Medical Institute and got my degree as a Vet Tech. I am currently not working, newly pregnant so i have lots of time to play and walk with your furbabies! Free week days and weekends! I provide pet care in the comfort of your pet’s own home, where they can stay in a familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. I’m happy to stay overnight when needed and will treat your home with care and respect. I’ll follow all feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions closely while making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.
“My 18 year old Jack Russel mix was kindly taken care of by Page for 8 days while we were away on vacation. I appreciated the attention and care Abbie received and would recommend Page as an excellent choice for pet care on Rover!”
“Jacquelynn did a wonderful job with our pets. She stayed in touch with texts and pics. She left our home clean, just like we left it. We will be asking her back!”
“Gail was so lovely. I have two senior dogs who loved her. One of mine is very anxious and he did great with her. I will definitely be booking with Gail in the future!”
“Nysa did a great job sitting for our dogs and cats. She is good with our shy dogs and is accommodating to our last minute trips out of town, I would definitely recommend her to anyone who needs their pets looked after.”
“Appreciate Tami taking care of girl even though Aurora took some time to warm up to her. She took her on walks even in the Phoenix heat and stayed with her as well as gave us updates. We felt secure knowing that Tami was with her.”
“Left our cats to Shelley for a week and they love her! Shelley took good care of them and regularly gave us updates on how they were doing. She communicated inadvance if there were schedule adjustments. She was there with the cats the whole time which gave us peace of mind while we were away. I recommend her service. We will sure to be return customers.”
“Anna took outstanding care of our three kitties while we were on vacation and our home was perfect upon our return. She sent frequent updates with pictures of our fur babies playing and being their goofy selves. The communication was excellent which allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our time away. Highly recommend her friendly, professional service.”
About: I’ve been house sitting for a couple years and absolutely love dogs. I’ve also trained my own puppy, giving me experience with patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement. I’m caring, responsible, and comfortable providing pets with plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. I’m happy to work with each pet’s individual schedule and make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while their owners are away. I prioritize safety, trust, and making pets feel comfortable in their environment. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions and their pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, and potty breaks. I always supervise pets appropriately, keep them secure, and make sure their home is left clean and safe. I also provide regular updates so owners can feel confident knowing their pets are happy and well cared for.
About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve grown up with dogs and currently have four of my own, so caring for pets is something that comes naturally to me. Through the years, I’ve gained experience with dogs of different breeds, sizes and personalities, and I’ve also helped care for dogs belonging to friends, family and others when they’ve needed a reliable sitter. I currently work a low-stress, remote job on weekdays, so I can be attentive to your pets for most of the day, whether it be taking them outside, playing with them, taking them on walks or whatever they need. When caring for pets, I make it a priority to keep them feel safe and comfortable by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I follow all instructions carefully, whether it be feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications and any special care requirements. I understand that every dog is different, so I take the time to learn their personality and preferences to help them feel safe and relaxed while their owners are away.
“Dani was an absolutely amazing caregiver to all of my animals. Incredibly communicative and absolute pleasure to work with and will book her again as soon as possible. She sent me updates and follow up pictures throughout the weekend, and I felt incredibly at ease, knowing she was caring for my fur babies.”
“Krystal A. was awesome! My dog fell in love with her so quickly and he is very shy. She did a great job paying attention to him and keeping him on his normal routine. I hope to book her again soon.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Anthem
Landon was so great! Our dog sitter of ~6 years has moved on from sitting, so we needed to find someone new. Communication was so clear, direct, and quick. This was his first sit for our Fifi and he asked many questions and sent updates, which was much appreciated. Fifi is pretty easy, but does have a lot of small routines to follow and medications at different times. It felt like he really cared about her and making sure he got it right. Will definitely be trying to book Landon for our future sitting needs!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Anthem on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 3,069 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Anthem. 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 Anthem 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 Anthem 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 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!
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.
