About: Hi! My name is Ryley, and I recently completed my bachelor’s degree and am currently in a radiologic technology program in Phoenix. I’m looking to do pet care on the side because I genuinely love animals and understand how important it is to find someone you fully trust with your pets. I’ve volunteered at multiple shelters, including the Humane Society, and have taken animal caretaking courses in the past. I have three dogs of my own, so daily walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and lots of love are already part of my routine. I’m reliable, organized, very clean, and always on time. I currently have availability Wednesday through Sunday and offer dog walking, drop-in visits, house sitting, and pet sitting. I know how stressful it can be to leave your furry family member, so I always prioritize safety, communication, and making your pet feel comfortable and cared for. I would love to answer any questions and meet you and your furry friends soon!
“Thank you Diane for fitting this unexpected need into your calendar. Truly appreciated the additional note out lining your experience with my pup. That personal note told me much more than a picture of her and a list of the chores that were requested. Thank you for your thoughtfulness.”

“Sarah was so understanding with my crazy last minute work schedule. I truly appreciate her flexibility and understanding. She was good to my kitty and kept a good eye out for his health and happiness. Thank you Sarah!”

About: I treat your pet like my own. (I have a 2 year old Australian shepherd and a 4 year old cat, both of whom I love dearly.) And I’m a classically trained artist who offers a one time 15% off pet portrait prices for people who book house sitting with me for over 7 days. I’ve been pet sitting since I was a child and my friends, family and neighbors have all hired me to look after their animals. As you can see by my photos, I’ve taken care of everything from dogs and cats to chickens! I would love to introduce myself to your fur-baby and see if we’re a good fit. Although I will stay the entire night with your pet, I will occasionally need time away to go to the grocery store and run errands. If your pet needs 24 hours of care, I can provide this for $50 more per night. Feel free to specify this in our initial point of communication. I’m currently working 9:30 am to 5:30 pm Fridays and Saterdays and am completely available Sunday-Thursday. (I’m available to stay on the weekend if your pet doesn’t need one on one time from 9:30 am to 5:30 pm Fridays and Saturdays.) I am a diligent note taker when given instructions and have no problems clarifying instructions that aren’t clear. I follow those instructions to the tee.
About: I have had a wide variety of pets that I have cared for. I love cats and dogs of all sizes and varieties! I have cared for pets just out of surgery as well as older pets with various issues. I am retired and need something to occupy my time! I am available day or night. I am willing to help however I am needed. I want to keep the closest routine as possible for all pets for the least amount of disruption so I will cater to them! I will need detailed instructions and expectations to make sure all visits go as planned.
“I was pleased with Karsyn taking care of my Maggie while I was gone for a few days over Thanksgiving, She arrived on time and stayed the hour that she was assigned. She made sure to send me pictures and updates on the days she was here. I used her as a drop in caregiver for just a few days to cover during the days my regular sitter wasn't available. The only problem I had was when I contacted her I didn't realize her profile information hadn't been updated. I wanted someone to do overnight coverage which she wasn't available to do since the birth of her little boy. It all worked out as I had another gal covering the rest of the time. She and Maggie seemed to get along just fine and she was reliable. I would use her again without hesitation.”
About: I am a dedicated Veterinary Assistant student with a strong passion for animal care, especially dogs. I currently have five dogs of my own, which has helped me gain hands-on experience with daily care, behavior, and health needs. I am hardworking, compassionate, and excited to continue learning and growing in the veterinary field. Pet care is a very important part of my daily routine. With five dogs of my own, I spend time every day feeding, exercising, grooming, cleaning up after them, and making sure they are healthy and happy. I also pay close attention to their behavior and overall well-being so I can notice if something seems wrong. Caring for my dogs has taught me responsibility, patience, time management, and the importance of providing animals with love and proper care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I would follow the owner’s instructions carefully to keep the pet’s routine consistent and stress-free. This can include feeding, walking, administering medications if needed, cleaning up after them, providing companionship, and monitoring their behavior and overall health. My goal is always to make pets feel comfortable, cared for, and safe while their owners are away.

About: Our background is heavily centered on all breeds (including working breeds and large, powerful dogs). We know that strong, high-energy pups require confident handlers who understand how to maintain clear boundaries, structure, and a calm environment. If you have a large dog or a breed that other sitters might find intimidating, they are completely safe and welcome with us. Our Expertise Includes: ● Behavioral Understanding & Training: We have a deep grasp of behavioral principles and positive reinforcement. We focus on reading canine body language to prevent stress and keep a multi-dog environment completely harmonious. We even implement advanced mental enrichment and communication systems at home (like word-button training!) to keep smart minds sharp. ● Structured Routines: We know how critical consistency is for a dog away from home. We strictly mirror your feeding, crate, and medical schedules to ensure a seamless transition. ● Valley Heat Safety: As locals, we are experts in managing desert summers. We know exactly how to look for signs of heat stress, protect paws, and keep dogs thoroughly entertained indoors when it's too hot to be out. Whether your pup needs a structured environment to burn off working-breed energy or a patient, gentle approach for a shy dog, we have the skills and experience to make their stay a 5-star experience. Our Availability & Service Schedule: Because I am a stay-at-home mom, our schedule is incredibly flexible, allowing us to offer top-tier care whether your pet is staying with us or we are visiting them at your home. Here is how our routine works across our different services: 1. For Boarding & Doggy Daycare (At Our Home) Round-the-Clock Supervision: I am home full-time during the day, meaning guest pets enjoy constant companionship, frequent potty breaks (every 2–3 hours), and strict adherence to their feeding schedules. Beat the Heat Routine: Mid-days (8:30 AM – 4:30 PM) are strictly for indoor relaxation in the AC, puzzle toys, and mental enrichment. Outdoor playtime is kept to the cooler morning and evening hours. Drop-off & Pick-up Flexibility: Since I am anchored at home, we can easily accommodate flexible drop-off and pick-up windows between 7:00 AM and 8:00 PM to match your travel or commute schedule. 2. For Drop-ins & Check-ins (At Your Home) Flexible Daytime Visits: If you need someone to check in on your cats or dogs, feed them, scoop litter, or let them out for a midday potty break, I am available for local neighborhood visits during the day. Tag-Team Coverage: My husband, Juan, tags in during his off-shift hours and weekends. This team dynamic means we have excellent availability to cover early morning, evening, or weekend check-ins when you are stuck at work or out of town. Real-Time Updates: For every check-in, you’ll receive an immediate update, photos of your pets, and confirmation that they are safe, fed, and happy. Weekends & Holidays We have fantastic coverage for weekend boarding and house check-ins. While Juan handles a couple of overnight work shifts, I am home sleeping right alongside our boarding guests, and Juan is fully available during his weekend daylight hours to help manage the routine or conduct visits. We treat your pets and your home with the utmost respect, providing a structured, safe, and loving environment every single time! We believe that peace of mind is the most important thing we can give a pet owner. Our home is set up specifically to prioritize structure, security, and absolute transparency. When your dog stays with us, they aren't just crashing on our floor—they have a space tailored entirely to their safety and comfort. The Dedicated Dog Room & 24/7 Camera Access We have a fully dedicated, climate-controlled guest room in our home exclusively for the dogs we watch. Individual Kennels: The room is equipped with high-quality, sturdy crates. Every dog has their own secure kennel for sleeping, structured downtime, and feeding. This prevents any multi-dog friction and gives your pup a quiet, safe space to decompress. Your Personal 24/7 Live Feed: We believe in complete transparency. We have a secure, high-definition pet camera set up in the dog room, and we give you direct access to the live link 24/7. Whether you are at work, at a dinner, or on a flight across the country, you can log in at any second of the day or night to see exactly how your pup is resting and relaxing. Backyard & Home Security Fully Fenced Yard: Our backyard is completely secured with a sturdy fence and locked gates. Dogs are never allowed outside unsupervised; either Lesly or Juan is always in the yard monitoring playtime. Separate Feeding & High-Value Items: To eliminate any chance of resource guarding, all dogs are fed completely separately inside their own kennels. Toys and treats are strictly monitored and handed out individually. Child-Safe & Pet-Safe Environment: Because our home is run by a full-time stay-at-home mom, our living spaces are kept meticulously clean, organized, and free of any hazardous items or loose chords. Health & Heat Safety Protocols Living in the Valley, we take heat safety incredibly seriously. We actively monitor the indoor temperature of the dog room to ensure the AC is running perfectly. We strictly adhere to your specific medication schedules, dietary restrictions, and emergency contact protocols. We maintain a low-occupancy, high-attention home. By capping our guest list, keeping a dedicated space, and giving you an open window into their room via our live camera, we ensure your dog gets a safe, luxury boarding experience while you get total peace of mind.
About: Since age 12, I’ve provided 11 years of loving pet sitting for dogs, cats, and horses. Farm-raised with 4 dogs (one ESA-trained), I comfortably watch up to 6 at once. Currently available weekends all day and weekdays after 4:30pm. In a few months I’ll add full weekday availability. As a new mom, I offer reliable, loving pet care. I provide attentive, personalized care for every type of dog, faithfully following each owner’s unique standards and routines so your pet feels right at home.
About: I have taken care of animals since I was 4 years old and I got my first puppy. I raised that puppy and another until they got to be 14 and 16 years old. I also had many pets in-between, from hamsters, bunnies, fish, tortoises, lizards, and more ! I have always been the person my family and friends go to to care for their pets. Not only do I watch and sit for them, I also do grooming and health care if needed. I care for my pets most of the day, playing, feeding, and spending time with them. I have a lot of time to care for pets. I make sure pets are happy and healthy. They have appropriate feedings, fun and safe playtime, and they are picked up after in case there are any messes.
About: I owned a golden retriever dog for the first half of my life. I have strong skills in caring for dogs and providing the absolute best care as possible. I'm currently working part-time and would love to work with any animals in my off time! My availability is a little bit all over the place so please don’t hesitate to reach out and ask, I’m usually pretty quick at getting a response back whether the timing works or not. I can provide walks, hangouts, and interactive fun times for your pets! I can do drop ins, sitting, and overnights, just let me know what you need and we’ll make it happen!

“Suzy was great. She came and took care of Pepper, fed her and made sure she had plenty of exercise before she left. I was so happy that she was there for Pepper. I would recommend her.”
About: I graduated as a Veterinary Technician student at MCC. They covered hospital care as well as care at home. I also grew up around cats and dogs. I also have nursed kittens before and cared for puppies I can discuss with you around my schedule to ensure your furbaby's happiness. I should have plenty of time to go over the best plan that works for you. I can make your furbaby feel safe in their home with snuggles and play with their toys. I am also willing to walk pets too.

About: Please note: there is a glitch in the Rover platform in terms of star ratings. Support is working on it. I have an excellent history and will take great care of your pet. Please contact Rover support for clarification as they work on resolving that issue. I've always been a huge dog lover! In addition to helping pet sit for friends and family, I’ve been lucky enough to take in four foster pups of my own. Unfortunately, I lost three of them in the past few years, which has only made me want to spend even more time with dogs. In lieu of getting more of my own, I decided that I want to be of service to the animals and their owners. I’ve always enjoyed the experience and I’m happy to help out other owners and pooches in need. Over the years, I've cared for dozens of dogs and have rescued four. My last of the four is Gizzy, a little Shitzu. I take him with me to work and out and about. He's my little buddy! I love having a connection with dogs, and Gizzy and I have definitely fused a very strong bond between us. He is very friendly and loves other pups, so your pooch will always have a friend around. Making sure that both you and your pup feel completely comfortable and well taken care of us my number one goal. I always make sure to treat you and your pup with the utmost respect. During a stay, I’ll make sure to keep in daily contact by way of text and picture messages so you can know exactly how your pup is getting along and what we’ve done that day. I’ll treat them as if they were my own! I’ll keep your dog on a schedule as close to what they’re used to as possible. We’ll play with their favorite toys. They can sleep with me and will get a lot of snuggles and pets from me. I don’t have any breed restrictions, but I always like to schedule a meet-and-greet for new clients. I always try to get to a dog’s level and make them feel as comfortable as possible with me by letting them smell my hand, finding their favorite scratch spot, using a soft, fun voice to talk to them, and letting them take their time to get used to me.
“Jennifer was great for Andy Bear. He is hard of hearing and was sound asleep when she walked in. She gently woke him up and had to give the belly rub and then got a face full of kisses. Weather wasn't great and she was very patient with him in the rain and storms.”

The median cost per visit for dog sitting in Apache Junction is $20

Thank you Diane for fitting this unexpected need into your calendar. Truly appreciated the additional note out lining your experience with my pup. That personal note told me much more than a picture of her and a list of the chores that were requested. Thank you for your thoughtfulness.

Stephanie is great. I’m overbearingly protective of Chloe given her handicap status. Stephanie took the time to absorb everything about Chloe’s background and was attentive to every detail discussed. I’d highly recommend her for both her empathy for animals and for being exceptionally good hearted. I thank you.

Inez is a friendly and warm person. She gives our dog Ember lots of attention. Ember adores her. While we are away Inez will also feed our wild birds, and bring in our mail and newspaper. We leave home knowing Ember and our home will be well taken care of.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Apache Junction stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Apache Junction 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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
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.

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.
