“Diane provided such good care of our elderly dog. Our dog needed special attention and Diane provided that beautifully. She sent us pictures and updates while we were gone.

“Zoe and Kaleb are amazing!!!! We go on a trip every year for 10 days and we are always so nervous leaving our dog, but after they arrived at our house there was no stress about the trip. They sent many pictures and updates to keep us informed. When we got back the house was spotless and looked like they were never there! They were great at keeping up his normal routine and making sure he was well behaved. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for help while they are gone! We will for sure be using them again!”

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.

About: I have been taking care of pets since I was 9 years old when I got my first puppy Roxanne. Growing up we also had farm animals and I took care of them as well until I moved out and every once in awhile when my family is out of town. I also house sit for a family over the years every other week for 2 years who had 2 dogs and 1 cat since they worked a job out of town. I house and pet sit for all of my friends on a normal occasion. When I do something I do it to the best of my ability and build a relationship with all of their pets and make them my own friend! My schedule is super flexible so I am able to work with your needs. I do all of my work from home. I am able to provide any transportation for your pet or pets. I am also able to stay at your house or stop by several time throughout the day. I have 2 cats and a dog I know how important it is to take care of them and be present for them.Luckily I have a girlfriend who is able to stay at home and give them attention as well. I care for my own pets by having play time and I feed all my animals 2 times a day and they have water all day. With Clients pets if ok I like letting them outside throughout the day to go play since I am able to take plenty of breaks throughout the day. Anything that the client says or needs done at certain times for their pet if there is certain feeding times or if they are on a schedule I will just follow that for them.
“Jennifer was so awesome with our 2 pups! We have one who is slower to trust and warm up but Jennifer worked her magic! She sent us great updates and the cutest photos while we were away and missing the pups. She also left our house very clean and tidy. She was very responsive and a great communicator.”

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!!!

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 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 3,826 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.
