About: I have over 2 years of experience dog sitting and walking, and I genuinely love getting to know each pup’s personality.I’ve mostly worked with small to medium dogs, but I’ve also cared for big breeds like Great Danes—so I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes! Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or just keeping them company, I always stick to your dog’s routine so they feel safe and comfortable. I’m reliable, patient, and will treat your dog like my own 💛 You can also expect lots of updates and cute pictures while you’re away! Pet care fits easily into my routine as a Radiologic Tech student. I am available anytime Friday through Sundays for walks, check-ins, and housesitting. I keep pets safe and comfortable based on the client's home and backyard. I follow instructions closely and can crate dogs if that’s part of their normal routine.
About: I’m a former Veterinary Technician who has previous experience in Emergency Medicine and general practice. I am comfortable administering medications and providing treatment to pets who require it! I give lots of love to all furry creatures, and have a wonderful large sized fenced yard for those pets who need some running space! It is great for exploring and we go on long walks when it gets a bit too muddy on the rain filled days. All dogs are welcome to snuggle up on my furniture and hang out with me. I have a wonderful shepherd mixed breed Nova who who’ll become fast friends with your pet. If you’re looking for a dilligent pet lover who can provide a safe fun stay for your pet, then look no further! Check us out!
“Cindy lives in our neighborhood, has an elderly Jack Russell and a lot of experience, so she was an easy choice! Blitz (our 14 year old Jack Russell) does not usually take well to new people, but he absolutely adored Cindy! He looked forward to her visits and loved his walks! He is also mildly incontinent and she didn't mind cleaning up after him or taking care of his bedding. She is a gem! Thank you for taking care of our senior!”
About: I’ve taking care of dogs and cats my whole life. I live in an apartment and have two cats. I love dogs and I can’t have one here in the apartment complex. So this is my way I can get my needs met. I’m a very caring and dedicated person to my clients and their dogs and cats. I have two cats and they love sitting with me and watching TV. I mean it they watch TV with me. My one cat has to smell every food that I eat. She won’t always eat it but she has to smell it or she won’t leave me alone. Love that girl. I live in an apartment but I can easily drop in feed, walk them and play with them. Staying overnight is fine with me as well.
About: I started caring for animals when I was 10 years old. It became a passion for me. As teenager, I quickly turned it into a business due to my specialized care, love and attention to detail. As an adult, it continues to be a deep love of mine. To not only supply the pets with love and care, but to help families feel at ease when they are away. I say this because I struggle when leaving my pets and I know that it can be anxiety inducing for the humans. I have extensive animal care knowledge that I have developed over my 45 years of working with animals and their owners. I also have experience with special needs animals/ administering medication and monitoring health, including but not limited to: Diabetes (glucose monitoring and insulin delivery), administering Subcutaneous fluids, Thyroid medications (Pinna), antibiotics, etc. I treat every pet as if it were my own, with love, compassion, patience and respect. My goal is to have you and your pet comfortable for the duration of my care. Some of the animals I have experience with but not limited to are: Dogs, Cats, Rabbits, Rats, Hamsters, Guinea Pigs, Gerbils, Mice, Birds, Fish, Ferrets, Sugar Gliders, Reptiles (Newts, Bearded Dragons),Turtles, Frogs etc. I love to give daily updates with photos of your loved ones if requested. I work from home and set my own schedule. I have very flexible hours to meet the needs for you and your pets. I can accommodate for special requests...just ask. I spend my time finding new ways to enrich my animal's lives. They are a very important part of my family. I treat every pet like it were my own family. I care for them the way I would want mine cared for. I strive to keep a safe and loving environment for your pets at all times. I offer daily updates including photos if requested. :)

“Whitney started doing drop by visits and has been great to work with. She is patient and caring and my girl is really warming up to her quickly. I would recommend her to a friend or family!”
About: I have been pet sitting on and off since I was 11. Most recently I have consistently been dog sitting since I was 19. I do work a full time job Monday-Fridays and take care of the pets I’m sitting for when I’m not at work. I love dogs and helping people when I can and this is a great way to do that! I have experience taking care of dogs between 8months-15 years old; I have taken care of small and large breeds in that age range. I have been responsible for managing pets medications during those times as well. I make it a point to do meet and greets with families and pets before watching them to make sure it’s a good fit for everyone, especially the dogs. I like to go over their usual schedules and things to be aware of so the pets can be as comfortable as possible while I stay with them. I’m a very lowkey person and a homebody, so when I’m not at work I’ll be with the animals making sure they are taken care of and having a good time until their families are home. I work Monday through Friday, between 8-430/5, but my weekends are free. When Im pet sitting, I focus on taking care of the pets first and foremost, so I don’t make any other plans while taking care of pets so I can be there before and after work. I make sure to keep things cleaned up so there isn’t anything around that could be harmful to the pets. I go outside with them to make sure they are good, or check on them periodically if they are out there for a while. I make sure to give them my attention while I’m with them whether that’s playing with them, giving them cuddles, or going for walks. At my own home we have our backyard closed, and since my dog is small we have the gate extended to prevent her from being able to potentially get out.
“Natalie was very communicative and quick to get a response from. My cat warmed right up to her and played with her which past cat sitters have been unable to do. I’m planning to book again with her when needed!”
About: Hi! I absolutely love dogs and I used to have two of my very own. I miss having dogs to care for and would love to help care for yours! I am available every evening for dog walking and check in visits and I am also available Sundays, Mondays and Tuesdays anytime of the day for dog walking and check-in visits. I have had dogs my whole life and understand the importance of safety when walking dogs and respect if I am entering your home to check on your dogs.
“We hired Audrey for drop-in visits for our cats, Thomasin and Lenny, while we were out of town. From the moment we met her in person, we knew our kitties would be in great hands. Audrey had a very warm personality, paid close attention to all the details we outlined, and communicated excellently throughout the entire booking. She even took care of a few light household chores in addition to visiting with our cats. When we arrived home, Audrey had kindly left us a thoughtful and personalized thank-you note, which we found very touching. If you need a sitter for your furry loved ones, Audrey is absolutely the one to hire!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Apache Junction
Sarah watched our two dogs for us for 3 days, she was very prompt on her arrival times and sending pictures and notes updating us while we were away. She was very kind to our pups and made sure they felt comfortable while we were away, walked daily, fed and watered, she was fantastic!! If you have the chance to use her for your dog sitting needs, we recommend her very much!
Jennifer was a godsend for sure! Taking over for another service that left my babies uncared for. She jump right in like she knew them already. And they loved her, of course! The communication was fantastic! Lot's of video, pictures and notes all helped me feel better about leaving my girls. They were in the best care I could have asked for! I will use Jennifer and Rover every time from now on!!
Thank you Diane for fitting this unexpected need into your calendar. Truly appreciated the additional note out lining your experience with my pup. That personal note told me much more than a picture of her and a list of the chores that were requested. Thank you for your thoughtfulness.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Apache Junction is $19 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $28 per visit. 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 5,497 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Apache Junction. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.

- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
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.
