I don't like leaving my girl, but I feel that when she's with Daisy she's well cared for and loved. Daisy also made sure my home was secure whenever she left. I will definitely use Daisy again!”

About: I’ve got you covered, whether it’s a 5 pound chihuahua or a 90 pound lab… whether they’re athletes or couch potatoes. I’ve cared for and love them all.

About: Hi, I’m Sydney! I’m an Animal Science graduate and veterinary professional with several years of experience working with animals. I currently work in veterinary medicine while attending school to become a Radiologic Technologist. I’m a huge animal lover and have dogs of my own, so I know pets are truly part of the family. I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and comfortable with many different personalities—from energetic and playful pets to shy, anxious, or senior animals. When your pet is with me, I’ll treat them like one of my own. I’m also big on communication, so you can expect updates and pictures while you’re away! ❤️ I currently work in veterinary medicine while attending school, so my schedule varies throughout the week. I plan my Rover availability around work and school to make sure I only accept bookings when I can give your pet the time and attention they deserve. I’m dependable with scheduled visits and will always communicate ahead of time regarding my availability. I follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, medications, and any special instructions. Since I live in an apartment, I provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and make sure their pet feels safe and comfortable.

I understand that every pet is unique, and I treat each one as if they were my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your furry (or scaly!) family member is in experienced, caring hands Im currently working full time (4-10s) 8-6pm. I work in the Laveen area and live in Avondale. Drop ins wouldn't be a problem, over nights either as long as your fine with me not being there all day.

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!
Fantastic experience! Great communication, personable, consistent updates, and lots of cute pictures of the dogs having fun and relaxing! The backyard looked great and both dogs were very well cared for! Anyone who owns a frenchie, knows a frenchie’s life, and our little one was clean and happy! It was our first time leaving the dogs overnight with someone other than family - We truly appreciate the care Kathleen gave them and will definitely book with her again!! We recommend her hands down!!
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 on Rover is $33 per night as of October 2026.

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.
<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 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 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.
