“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.”
“Christina is always amazing!! She takes care of our 3 girls just like they were her own!! She also stays in contact and sends lots of pictures so you know they are doing well!”
“Daisy was great with my shy dog! She was very patient with her! She did a great job! Very professional and personable. Always wants what’s best for the animal. Would recommend!”
About: I’ve only ever cared for my sisters 2 dogs but I’ve loved playing with them, walking them and petting them! I speak Spanish and English I am currently not working, I’m dedicating my time to take care of fur animals. I am available 7 days a week with short notice 😊 I have a fenced yard. I don’t have dogs or cats. I’m available to care your pets in my home or if you need me go at your house, im available as well.
About: I love dogs. I prefer smaller to medium dogs. I like to go on walks, play and sit comfy on the couch with them. I’m not a fan of puppies who are still learning potty training and not to chew I work my regular job anywhere from 30-40 hours a week. I control my schedule, during the hours between 7am and 10 pm, which is helpful. I take weekends off but I am also able to take weekdays off. I can be available to step away from work pretty much at any time needed. I don’t have any other responsibilities, other than your buddy. I am very respectful and will follow all the directions you ask of me and I will make sure I’m asking questions to make everything clear.
“It was our first time using Rover and I’m so glad we chose Callie. She was very good with them and sent me updates and pictures frequently. My babies were afraid of the holiday fireworks but she comforted them kept them safe. I will definitely book with her again. Thank you for taking such good care of my babies!! 💛”
“Our family friends that used to pet sit for us moved away so this was our first time using Rover l. Lexuz made us comfortable and after she came over to visit us I knew she was the one for us. She housesat at for us and looked after our 2 four legged family members. She keep us informed and communicated perfectly. She is a kind spirit and our dogs warmed up to her quickly. She was very respectful and kept our home the way we left it. We will definitely reach out to her again.”
About: I've been around dogs for as long as I can remember and have trained just as many. Big or small, I care for them all. I have an open schedule. I've got plenty of time to care for the cuties. I'm available from early in the morning to late at night. Firstly, I make sure the pet is used to my presence, I then try to build enough trust for the animal to let me pet them, I will then proceed with my duties.
“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”
“My dogs loved Alexandra. I could tell how happy they were when we got home and in their interactions with her. She was responsive, communicative and we felt so comfortable with her in our home. Murray and Livie can't wait for her to come back and stay with them!”
About: My schedule is very flexible.Your pet will enjoy play time across the street at the dog park, they won’t be lonely I have a loving dog of my own named Diesel who is very friendly and gets along well with other dogs. I have six years worth of experience taking care of dogs. I enjoy taking my dog to the walking trails and for hikes. My neighborhood’s courtyard has a lot of play areas for the dogs. I love cuddling with my dog diesel and will make sure your dog gets just as much love and attention. Plenty of treats and love to make them feel special and rewarded. I am soldier in the army national guard and I really enjoy outdoor activities, and a lot of times I take my dog. Whether it be hiking or just walking the running trails. CPR certified and come from medical background. Very respectful and trustworthy. I’m very patient, reliable and just have a genuine love for animals. I work full time and I am in school so boarding works best on weekends. If your dog is a dog that gets by with feeding times twice a day and going out twice a day, boarding may be a good fit throughout the weekdays. That schedule is similar to my dog’s and my dog loves other animals so they can be each others companion during the day, until it’s time to go out and play in the park. I have one friendly dog and he is house trained, so I have an extra crate if needed and extra doggy bed. We have a fenced in dog park for them to play in, in my neighborhood.
About: We're super excited about the opportunity to care for your dog and give them the vacation they deserve! We hope to be your choice for their special getaway! Hi everyone! My name is Erika. Our vet recommended we do Rover as a way to socialize our Thor puppy when he was only 6 months old and its now been almost 5 years of doing Rover dog boarding or as I like to call them "puppy sleepovers" and we absolutely love it! We get to share our home and get to spoil pups and give them their own vacation experience and Thor gets buds to play with. It's a win-win-win! Thor is a gorgeous 5yo yellow lab with the best temperament, he is super well socialized thanks to Rover, and he loves (more like obsessed) to play fetch! Thor is fully vaccinated and ask that your dogs also be fully vaccinated and up to date on their boosters. I work from home so I get to spend a lot of time outside playing fetch. Thor is very active and loves to play so we love having friends over for him to play with, so your pup will get plenty of outdoor time on their vacation! Thor is really friendly and does well with all types of dogs. He's super patient and really careful when playing with small pups. He's really good at respecting other pups boundaries when they don't want to play or when they need a break. He is such a good boy. He is super well socialized and plays well with all size dogs and has been exposed to all types of breeds. We're excited about the opportunity to care for your dog and give them the vacation they deserve! We hope to be your choice for their special getaway! Our pup parents always joke that they feel like their pups are on vacation too when they come stay with us so we have made it our mission to make them feel like they are on vacation too! I work from home so I am available all day. I work 7am-5pm M-Th and I'm off Fri-Sat-Sun, but my job is very flexible and I can step away whenever I need to. I play fetch daily with him between 12-1pm until he gets tired. I noticed that when we have other pups stay with us they are too tired from playing all day to play fetch for long but I like sticking to his set play time. I work from my laptop so most of the time I sit in the backyard watching the pups play. I have a fenced in yard with a dog run with artificial grass for pups to run and play as well as a dog friendly pool and patio area. The grass is cleaned and deodorized every Sunday. Pups will be inside our home unless they are supervised outside. We do not crate Thor or any pups in our care unless specificly asked to do so by their pet parent. We let them sleep where they feel most comfortable but my son loves having them sleep with him if it's ok and allowed by their parents. Can't wait to meet your fur baby!
“Annabella did an awesome job housesitting while I was away. She kept Phoebe engaged, sent pictures daily and even printed copies of photos for me. Upon my arrival home, Phoebe was happy and well taken care of. Thanks so much Annabella, definitely appreciate your help.”
About: I have taken care of my sisters dog for over 10 years. I absolutely love playing with dogs and taking them out for walks!! I pride myself on being communicative, responsible, and approachable. Making your pets feel comfortable and well cared for is my top priority. I currently work a flexible hybrid job. My schedule is 8am-4:40pm but totally free on the weekends. Message me and we can schedule a meet and greet! :) * Dog will always be on leash during walk. * Make sure they are fed and given water. * Will play with them. * My house has a fence in the backyard that will prevent the dog from leaving.

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!!

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.
