“We ABSOLUTELY LOVED Amber.. we meet twice before she sat for us for the first time. She is very thoughtful and you can definitely tell she cares about your fur babies. We were extremely nervous letting someone watch our baby, but she truly was GREAT!! We are so very thankful and happy we found Amber ❤️ Our pup really loved her !!”
“When we leave town we have no worries because Zoe is a pro. She has wrangled a collar on our cat, put eye drops into a scratched dog eye and even handled a dog who unexpectedly went into heat. She is super responsible and incredible at communicating just the right amount.”
“Suzy was very attentive to our precious Coco. She is very communicative and followed directions very carefully. Coco was very comfortable with Suzy and she made us feel comfortable by sending pics of Coco to us. We will definitely be using Suzy again.”
“Brea and Jeff always do such a wonderful job with our little pups! I will ALWAYS book with them if I can, if I need a dog sitter. They are probably the best in the area and are just simply fantastic.”
“We loved Macyn so much! She gave us such a comfort right from our first meet - knowing our pups would be in the best hands. She was responsive and great at helping us with anything we needed. We recommend her to everyone and cannot wait to book with her again in the future”
“Felicity is kind, responsible and very attentive to our pups. It’s always nerve racking to have to leave a pet, but our minds are at ease knowing we have a very loving pet sitter. I know they loved going on their morning walks.”
“I can't say enough good things about Diane. She is wonderful with our fur babies, making them the priority when she stays. Our babies love her and we are so grateful.”
“Ashley was amazing with my boys I have one very energetic dog and one couch potato and she was sure walk them, love on them, and match both of their energy levels. She was great about sending me updates with photos and when I returned home I had two very happy very healthy boys waiting for me. I also returned to a clean and well taken care of home! I will 100% be booking with Ashley again when I need a dogsitter!”
“Therese did a wonderful job taking care of our pups, even though she was not feeling well. She also tackled our outside critters too even having to deal with 1.3” of rain that came down while she was here. She went the extra mile to do everything we needed. Thanks so much Therese and River.com too.”
“Conner did a great job with our dogs and cat. He was attentive to them, sent daily pictures and helped with other miscellaneous house tasks. He was great with communication and we will 100% ask for his help again!”
“Monica was very responsive and we were very satisfied with the care she provided. The house was nice and clean when we returned and Luna seemed as though we had never left. Would highly recommend.”
“I cannot express my gratitude on this house and pup sitting! Stephanie has been so responsive and goes over and beyond. Aside from the regular routine of feedings and outside time, she was attentive to details in alerting us of the crazy weather we were having while we were gone. She brought in our wreath that the wind blew off the door and emptied our skimmer basket for the pool when it was full of leaves. We received multiple updates and pictures daily of our pup. We came back with the house clean and one happy dog! This has brought us such relief that we have found a reliable and caring sitter. We are definitely planning on booking with her again!”
“Tarah is very personable and we were able to meet with her a couple times before she stayed with our dogs so they had a chance to get used to her. She kept in communication with us while we were gone with updates and pictures of our pups. Very happy with her service and would recommend her.”
“Tobi did great being her first time with us. She provided photos and let us know when she arrived and left. We will definitely ask her next time we need a dog sitter!”
“Our very anxious beagle warmed up to Nicole very quickly. She stayed with her and kept us updated throughout our time away. This was our first time using Rover and so we were initially not sure what to expect. We did a few meet and greets prior to our leaving and we felt very comfortable with Nicole and her calm presence. She was patient and warm with our dog. We would recommend her to anyone with a dog that needs a lot of extra love and attention. Thank you for watching our dearest little Stella.”
“Kailea was amazing! I got multiple updates and pictures each day and i could tell she was loving my little one just like i do. So many snuggles and pets. We even came home to a clean house and she had gathered all the laundry. It seems like my car made a new best friend so we will certainly be having her back!”
“Our sitter Kailey was amazing! She took such great care of our two dogs and really gave us peace of mind while we were on vacation. She followed all the care and feeding instructions and kept our home just the way we left it. She also sent us updates and pictures. The girls were happy and well cared for when we got back. We will definitely be booking her again!”
“Leslie took such great care of my dog, Cookie, over the weekend! She was reliable, communicative, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. It was clear that Cookie was well cared for and happy. I really appreciated the updates and the attention she gave my pup. I would absolutely recommend Leslie to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter, and I’d be happy to have her watch Cookie again!”

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!
Sudan was such a GREAT pup sitter for our Lucy! Highly professional, warm, loving and caring. She ensured we had photos and updates 2x a day while we were on our trip and she kept our home immaculately clean and tidy. Susan accommodated several special requests with ease and grace. We truly felt blessed to have Susan watch our loving, quirky, persnickety German Shepherd (IYKYK). We HIGHLY recommend Susan for your pet sitting needs. OUTSTANDING!!!
Grace did an awesome job taking care of both my cats (again). They felt very comfortable with her and Grace was also very communicative throughout the stay and sent me pictures of my cats, asked questions if she wasn’t sure on something, etc. Would book with her again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Apache Junction
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Apache Junction on Rover is $43.29 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 3,788 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Apache Junction. 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 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 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.

- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 97% 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.
