“Christina took great care of our 3 fur babies and sent us updates and photos to make sure we were comfortable that they were being taken care of - that is above and beyond. We highly recommend her for anyone living in the west valley!”
“I highly recommend Yvette for anyone in need of reliable and caring pet sitting services. Her dedication to the job was outstanding – not only did she stay at our house, but she also sent regular updates and adorable pictures of our furry friend. Her responsiveness to our messages was impressive, putting our minds at ease while we were away. We couldn't have asked for a better experience.”
“Chevy took such good care of my very spoiled furries! I appreciated the pics each day; being a vet tech, she also kept an eye on their health. I will definitely ask her to pet sit again. Thanks Chevy!”

“This was our first time having Lexuz care for our animals and home and we’ll certainly be seeking her out for future needs. I love that she can work from our home during her stay so the animals have lots of company rather than being left alone for long stretches.”

I have taken care of both puppies and senior dogs, just let me know any accommodations and I will comply I am a full time college student as well as a dog mom! Right now I am currently unemployed and in need of extra money so I am openly free for anytime. :D I keep my male and female dogs separate so you don’t have to worry about them being neutered or spayed.

About: I’m a caring, dependable animal lover with experience working with dogs, cats, horses, puppies, senior pets, and animals with special needs. I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, and I take the time to get to know each pet and provide individualized care. I’m experienced with feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, exercise, grooming, and maintaining pets’ regular routines. I’m also comfortable administering medications and providing extra care and patience to senior animals, young pets, and pets who need additional attention. My experience with horses has also taught me the importance of being calm, observant, patient, and attentive around animals. Whether your pet needs an energetic play session, a relaxing walk, medication, or simply some companionship while you're away, I’ll treat them with kindness and care. I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and loved—and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I have a very flexible schedule and can dedicate up to 30 hours per week to pet care. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I can work with pet parents to accommodate their pets’ individual routines and needs. I’m equally comfortable working weekdays, weekends, and holidays, depending on the care needed. I’m able to provide consistent, reliable care for regular clients as well as accommodate occasional or last-minute needs when my schedule allows. My goal is to make pet care easy and convenient for you while making sure your pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, companionship, and care. I provide pet care in my client’s home and treat both their pets and their home with the utmost care and respect. I follow each pet parent’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, exercise, and any special needs or routines. I take safety seriously and make sure pets are secure and supervised while I’m caring for them. I’m patient and attentive to each animal’s individual personality and comfort level, and I’m especially mindful of young, senior, and special-needs pets. I also understand how important it is to trust someone in your home. I will respect your privacy and your property, keep things clean and orderly, and make sure your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. I’m happy to provide photos and updates during visits so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away.

About: I grew up around cats and dogs, by the time I was in high school my room was the room we used with new kittens slowly introducing them to the house I’m an ex flight attendant who’s back in school, I ended up with a lot of extra time on my hands and love animals. I couldn’t think of a better way to spend some of that time than with dogs! I live in an apartment with fenced dog parks and lots of space outside. I enjoy spending time with dogs outside but keep my ac on 24/7 so summer heat shouldn’t be an issue. I grew up around animals and miss being around them!
“First time using Rover and I will be a repeat customer! Aly was amazing!! 💕 She took great care of our two dogs while we were out of town for a wedding. I love the updates and pictures. Made me feel content in knowing that my fur babies were well taken care of! I plan to reach out to Aly again when the next opportunity arrives.”
“Andrea went above and beyond. This was a last minute booking because we were in a scramble to find a pet sitter after learning our hotel couldn’t accommodate our dog. Andrea not only cared for our babies with utmost attention, but she also communicated with us the whole time and even tidied up our place. Andrea is a gem and I would 10/10 recommend for your pet and house sitting needs!”
About: As a young college student, I bring energy, flexibility, and genuine enthusiasm for caring for dogs. With my open schedule and love for animals, I’m committed to giving your pets personalized attention, plenty of playtime, and lots of love just like they’re my own! Im currently in my final semester of undergrad, and I'm not taking many classes so I have a lot of time on my hands! I also do work part-time but no more than 4 hours at a time:) I am solo in my place so I have plenty of space in my apartment for all fur babies. I will also always love/care on your fur baby as my own.
“We absolutely love our new friend, Lacey!! I’m so grateful we found her to care for our sweet 6-month-old mini dachshund and little bundle of joy, 🐶 Olive. She went above and beyond, sharing videos and updates throughout the evening, which gave us so much comfort and peace of mind. It was our first time leaving Olive with someone outside of family, and Lacey made the entire experience feel easy and reassuring. We’re incredibly thankful and will absolutely be reaching out to her again. 💛 xoxo”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Avondale
Daisy B. did an exceptional job of caring for our Merlot and Jazzy. She kept the house and backyard clean. played with the dogs every day. Kept them well fed and Sent us pictures of each day’s activity. Daisy Is very responsive to messages very polite. It Such a joy having someone as professional and caring towatch our puppies at home while we were gone on vacation. Highly recommend Daisey for all home and pet care needs.
Katie did an amazing job watching our older dog Ellary and stayed at our house overnight and partially through the day for nearly a week and a half. She sent photos and videos each day and even included a map of her daily walk. She was wonderful with communication and left the house just as clean as when we left for vacation by washing sheets and towels. She even left a water color drawing of my favorite animals penguins as a gift. I can’t recommend her enough and would be grateful to have her care for Ellary again. Thank you so much for taking such great care of her and alleviating the stress of worrying about boarding her for such a long time.
Marley was amazing and I would highly recommend her!! She stayed with our senior dog for a week and sent updates without me requesting them. She assisted with simple household tasks and even cleaned her towels at the end of her stay. Our house was spotless upon our return and our dog was well cared for. Thanks Marley!
Julianna is absolutely wonderful and took such great care of our fur babies!!! This was the first time I had used a pet sitter and I was very anxious about it but Julianna was so easy going and came over twice before she watched our dogs just to get familiar with them and to let me walk her through their daily routine. She gave updates everyday while we were gone which I very much appreciated and my dogs really seemed to enjoy her. One of our dogs is a Labrador with high energy and special needs and the other is a small little guy with some separation anxiety and she more than met theirs and my needs in taking great care of them. I am so grateful to her and We will definitely be rebooking with her in the future!!
Carol was so lovely with our 4 cats and our dog, we didn’t need to worry about them at all. Our cats are usually pretty shy with sitters but she sent us lots of pics and they seemed like their normal happy selves. She kept us informed and made sure they were well taken care of. We came home to a clean house and happy pets ❤️

The average cost of House Sitting in Avondale is $33 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $60 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Avondale 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 Avondale 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 Avondale 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.
