“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.”
“We felt very comfortable and knew our 2 dogs and two cats were in perfect hands. She played with all of them and was there 99% time. She sent pictures of all our babies daily, which we really appreciated. We came home to a house that was cleaner than we had left it. Highly recommend Amber!”
“Jennifer was absolutely amazing with our little guy, Bentley! She was actually early, which we really appreciated, and from the moment we met her she was so friendly, kind, and sweet. She immediately made us feel comfortable leaving Bentley in her care, and it was clear he felt comfortable with her too. When we got home, Bentley was peacefully asleep on the couch and seemed completely relaxed and happy. That gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was well cared for and felt safe with her. Jennifer also left us the sweetest thank you card afterward, which was such a thoughtful touch and honestly meant so much to us. You can truly tell she genuinely cares about the pets she watches and the families she works with. We will absolutely be using her again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable dog sitter!”
“Macyn did a wonderful job watching both our dog and cat. We received regular updates and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Both pets were happy and well cared for when we got home. She asked about andnpaid attention to the instructions for their care. We really appreciate how dependable, kind, and attentive Macyn was and would absolutely trust them with our pets 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.”
“We had a great experience with our sitter! She kept us updated throughout our trip with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear our pet was well cared for and getting plenty of attention. Her communication made the entire experience completely stress-free, and we were able to enjoy our trip without worrying. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
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.
“Stephanie was so patient with our dog and took great care of him and our home. We appreciated her regular communication with us and knew our dog was in good hands. We will definitely welcome her back.”
“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 was great! Our house was left in perfect condition and our dog was very happy to have company while we were away. She was also very flexible when our vacation had to be postponed a day.”
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.
About: Husband-and-wife team who genuinely love animals and enjoy taking care of them together. We both grew up around dogs and cats, so caring for pets has always been a natural part of our lives. We love going on walks, playing, giving lots of attention and cuddles, and making sure every pet feels comfortable and safe while their owner is away. ❤️ I am currently not working, so I have a lot of free time. Unfortunately, I can't pet-sit at my place because my landlord doesn't allow it. However, I would be happy to take care of your pet at any time, day or night. Ensure fresh water is always available, and refill it regularly throughout the day. I also follow the pet's regular feeding schedule as instructed by the owner, ensuring the correct type and amount of food is given. I play with cats indoors or dogs outside.
“Amber is, without question, the best pet sitter we’ve ever had. From the moment we met her, she was warm, kind, attentive, and incredibly professional. Her communication was outstanding, she was proactive, dependable, punctual, and paid such close attention to every detail. It was obvious from the start that she genuinely cared about our pets, and that gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Our dogs and cats weren’t just cared for… they were loved. Amber is nurturing, patient, capable, and incredibly thoughtful. She followed every instruction perfectly, kept us updated with wonderful messages and photos, and consistently went above and beyond in ways we didn’t even expect. Honestly, my only hesitation in writing this review is that I selfishly want to keep her all to ourselves! But she absolutely deserves every bit of recognition. Anyone lucky enough to have Amber care for their pets can travel knowing they are in the very best hands. It’s rare to find someone who inspires this level of confidence and trust. We will be requesting Amber every single time we travel. She is truly one of a kind, and we couldn’t recommend her more highly.”
“Lora was amazing! She was incredibly communicative and flexible with our travel schedule. She’s very kind and took great care of our pups and home. It was so nice being able to travel and not worry about anything because it was in her hands!”
About: I have taken care of all kinds of pets, young and old, and have always loved them like they were my own. I have even taken pet CPR. I’m retired and ready to give your pets some love! I have lots of time and love to give! You won’t be disappointed if you pick me to care for your pets. I can’t have pets in my home but I will treat your home with respect. Safety is my first priority-of your pet and your home.
“I seriously do not have enough words to convey how great Kory is with my two fur babies. I have a dog who takes some energy and time to warm up to new people and Kory went above and beyond to earn her trust. He even did a handful of pop in visits to get her to warm up to him before his first overnight with them. He was also very communicative while I was gone and kept me updated on how the dogs were doing throughout the day. My dogs loved Kory so much when I got home from my trip they went to the garage to search for him. Thank you again, Kory!!!”

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
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. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 3,730 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 , 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.
