“Felicity was phenomenal! Gave great updates and photos, loved Nala like she was her own, and even did housekeeping which was not necessary. She is so flexible and reliable. I would recommend her to anyone!”
“I am going to try to put in the words how much I truly appreciate Jennifer for everything she does for us. I have never been able to leave my dog tater on vacation, even with great dog sitters, without worrying. I have somehow been able to do that with Jennifer. She is absolutely amazing. I feel no concern for my house, my dog, anything when she’s around and I am not exaggerating about this! I left for two weeks I have never- ever been gone that long and leading up to the trip I was honestly terrified because I didn’t think I would be able to enjoy my time away since I was leaving Tater. She always puts all of our fears at ease, keeps us updated, and somehow every time I leave I come back and my home is more clean (not that that should ever be an expectation, and I promise it is not mine.) Plus I swear she fixed my washing machine too 🤣. Jennifer from the bottom of our hearts thank you SO much. I hope you will always be here because we truly trust you, and will come to you every single time.”
“Macyn does a great job; she has watched my two dogs and most recently my partners dog Reba. The dogs all love her. She is friendly and caring; we will definitely use her again.”
“Tarah was absolutely wonderful with my two dogs! One of them has a sensitive stomach, and she took extra care of him. She kept me updated throughout the stay with photos and messages, which gave me great peace of mind. Both dogs looked happy, calm, and well cared for when I returned. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals and takes her responsibilities seriously. I highly recommend Tarah to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter!”
“McKenna did an amazing job caring for our pups in our home. She communicated well with updates and photos and videos. The pups received the utmost love and care in our absence, and I would not hesitate to recommend or book McKenna again!”
About: I am a retired nurse. My dog was alive for 16 years so I do have experience with a senior dog. I have had dogs or cats most of my adult life. I do pet sitting currently for family members. I am retired so I have plenty of time to play with , cuddle or walk your pet. Looking to Rover to help me decide if now is the right time to get a new pet. I have a flexible schedule which makes it pretty easy for me to walk the dog in the early morning hrs right now while it is hot & drop in every 3-4 hrs as needed.
“Always reliable, responsible and responsive. We don’t ever need to worry about our Schatzi as she is in good hands! We have used Stephanie for well over a year for various services and it was always the best decision ever!”
“Very professional and caring. Took care of both my 10 year old lab/dane mix and 10 week old Cavalier spaniel. Both were relaxed, ate well, slept well, and were exercised and loved. Hope to be able to use his services in the future”
“Tahlia did an excellent job taking care of my cat. She was responsible, reliable and I returned home to a happy cat and a clean home. I will definitely hire her again.”
About: I grew up on a farm in Wisconsin. We had dogs, cats, and all sorts of animals. I love my pup and will take great care of yours. I am available on weekends and late afternoons / evenings. I have a full time job, 7 to 4, so would have to work around that for home sitting. I will take great care of your pet, I am attentive to their needs, and am familiar with different types of dogs and their behavior.
“Emily was fantastic! She was great with my very energetic pup, was extremely respectful of my home, and was wonderful communicative about how my pup was doing and sending photos of him getting snuggled and going for walks. Because of these qualities I was able to enjoy my time away from home with confidence that my boy was being thoughtfully cared for. Thanks, Emily!”
“Melissa was absolutely wonderful with our dogs! She was communicative, reliable, and kept us updated while we were away, which gave us so much peace of mind. Most importantly, she treated our boys with so much love and kindness, and it was clear they were well cared for and happy.”
“Nikkole was fantastic! She took such good care of my dog and cat, they absolutely loved her. I’m so grateful for how well she took care of them and the updates she would send with pics while I was gone. Would definitely book with her again.”
“Joel has been phenomenal with communication and keeping me in the loop while out of town. I had to book last minute due to a death in the family and Joel made it so much easier for me to focus on family and not overly worry about my fur babies!”
“Highly Recommend!! Rob was very professional and communicative and took great care of our two large dogs while we were out of town. Rob sent us daily pictures and updates and I could tell my dogs were happy and well cared for upon returning from my trip.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Apache Junction
Jacki was absolutely wonderful! She arrived on time, scheduled a meet-and-greet beforehand, and Baili and Charlie loved her right away. She stayed in our home and took excellent care of everything. She kept me updated throughout her stay with messages and pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. I couldn't have asked for a better experience, and I will definitely use her again. Highly recommend!
Angela is amazing! She stayed at our place for two weeks while we were in Japan and took care of our chihuahua/min pin, Davis. It was our first time leaving him for that long, and we were honestly a little nervous. He’s a rescue and still working on his confidence, but Angela made us feel completely at ease right from the start. Her updates were perfect. Sweet messages and videos, great photos, and all the little details that let us know Davis was happy and doing great. You can tell she really gets dogs and loves them deeply. We were able to truly relax and enjoy our trip knowing he was in such good hands, and being treated like the little prince he thinks he is :) Angela also worked with him a ton. She took him everywhere with her and helped him get so much more comfortable and confident out and about in NYC. When we got home, it was amazing to see how much our little guy had grown. On top of all that, our home was beautiful and spotless when we got back. We couldn’t recommend Angela more and will 100% book her again anytime we need someone to watch Davis!

The average cost of House Sitting in Apache Junction is $43 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $72 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Apache Junction 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 Apache Junction 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 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!
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.
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 .
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 .
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.
