“Ryley did an amazing job caring for our boys! She kept us updated throughout our trip, which gave us great peace of mind. Our boys were happy, well cared for, and clearly received lots of attention. We highly recommend Ryley and will definitely be booking with her again in the future.”
“Cindy is always great! I've had her watch my pets several times and she does a really good job taking care of all their different temperments and needs. I will continue going back to her anytime I'm out of town.”
“Breanna was so good with our 4 dogs! She took such good care of them and sent us a lot of photos. She even walked them, which is no easy feat! We will definitely hire her again!”
“OMG! Amber was totally amazing with our 1 year old puppy. He had never been away from us for more than a few hours. So being away for several days was scary for both my husband and me. It was only a few hours later that we realized how happy our Cody was with her and we didn’t have to worry. She made him feel very happy and loved the whole time we were gone. In fact it was his 1 year birthday while we were gone, so she had a little birthday party for him, even with gifts! I can’t stress enough how happy we are with Amber. Don’t ever hesitate on the care and love she will give your babies. She is totally awesome!!!!!!”

“Suzy looked after our 2 very nervous italian greyhounds by housesitting in our home. She is professional, trustworthy and reliable. She sent updates and photos. Will book Suzy 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!”
“As always, Marnie kept my babies safe, healthy, and happy. It gives me such peace of mind to know she's here taking such good care of them. I feel incredibly grateful to have been able to relax and thoroughly enjoy my holiday because of Marnie's experience with and love for animals. Thanks again, Marnie the three of us love and appreciate you ❤️”
“It was our first time having Emily watch our babies, and all three of them (two cats and one dog) adored her! One of the cats, who’s not a fan of cuddles or being too close to people, especially loved giving Emily love. I got many pictures of Cheeto showing Emily attention. She was wonderful, sending pictures and checking in often, and she kept everything spotless. We decided to extend our trip by four days, and she was so flexible that she could stay longer. We’re definitely planning to have Emily come again!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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.”

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!!!

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
