“Kailyn did a great job house sitting. Phoebe’s eating schedule was followed, and Kailyn stayed in consistent communication with me. Thank you Kailyn, I came home to a happy dog🤗 Will definitely use Kailyn again in the future.”
“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!”
“This was my first time using Rover and was uneasy about having someone stay at the house. Dalia was great about sending photos, communication and following the directions given for Jax and her stay. Jax's overall behavior was happy when I got home with no anxiety of me being away from him for so long. I would definitely use Dalia again.”
“Daisy is everything I was looking for in a pet sitter. She is professional, attentive, responsive, and reliable. She gave us a sense of security and peace of mind that or babies were in the best of hands. We will definitely be booking Daisy over and over again. I honestly think my dogs miss her more now then they missed us 😅 Thanks a million times, Daisy! 😊”
“We are so grateful to have met Katie! She is the perfect fit for our families needs!!! She is kind, caring, attentive, and truly loves our four legged babies. From the second we met her, we knew she was going to work out!! It is such a good feeling to have these needs met and have such a good trustworthy woman in our home taking care of things!”
“Michelle was great, not only were the dogs well taken care of but we got pictures and updates. I truly hope Michelle is available next time we need a dog sitter. Recommend 100%”
“We had a great experience with Marley. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about our pups’ well-being. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”
“She is fantastic! Trustworthy in my home and with our animals. She went above and beyond with the pictures and videos. We were truly able to enjoy ourselves while on vacation knowing our animals were well taken care of. Highly recommend! We will book with her again!”
“Yvette is an amazing dog sitter!! She is reliable, caring, and attentive. Our pups were so well cared for, loved, and happy while we were away. We received updates, photos, and complete peace of mind the entire time. Highly recommend and will definitely book again!”
“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!”
“Stelia was punctual and did a great job taking care of our 17 year old fur baby on New Year’s eve. We had to modify our time and Stalia was flexible meeting our needs. I’d totally recommend Stalia and will for sure use her services again.”
About: My first "business" started when I was 11 years old. "Dogsitting by Eve." I made and distributed flyers around the neighborhood--after doing my absolute best on Microsoft Paint. I ended up with a crew of 5 dogs for doggy day camp! Fast-forward to now. Watching and taking care of dogs has always been a staple in my life. Larger dogs are my speciality, and I have 1 year of experience with smaller dogs, toy breeds, and even those with medical issues. Last December I watched a dachshund with a herniated disk who needed constant care. At the 3-week mark he started to walk again on his own! I was so happy to see how my consistent support helped on his healing journey. I am a responsible and principled person who naturally keeps a tidy home and has no problem sticking to a schedule. Your house + dogs will be in good hands. At this phase of my life, I am studying full-time, so I enjoy making money while being near Wifi and a desk. I'm currently studying full-time and my classes are scheduled from 7a-9a and then 11a-1p on weekdays in Goodyear. I prefer to be closer to that side of town during this time. Dogsitting in Goodyear will help cut down on my weekly gas bill! The second Tuesday of each month I have an important meeting with a charity from 4-9p (I'm on the board) so that may affect my availability, or just not be matched with a senior dog! We can always talk about logistics, especially if there's a doggy door and owners are aware my stay falls during that once-a-month meeting! In your home, I always go in/out of the same door I opened. I prevent dogs from escaping or getting into things like trash cans and preventing other choking hazards. I prefer to feed multiple dogs separately to prevent food aggression. If the dogs are allowed on the couch--great. If not, I'll keep them away from it. Mental stimulation is a great way to prevent messes from boredom. I'll walk a dog on sidewalks away from main roads. If the dogs don't usually walk, I'll get some playtime in with them.
“Jessica was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of Riley and Cash while we were away, providing updates and photos that truly put our mind at ease. It was clear she treated them like her own, giving them plenty of love, attention, and playtime. I came home to two happy, well-cared-for pups, and I couldn’t be more grateful. If you're looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter, Jessica is the one to book! I’ll definitely be using her services again.”
“Heather cared for our three dogs in our home for 10 days, and she was absolutely amazing! She truly went above and beyond in every way. I received detailed updates twice a day that included information about feedings, potty breaks, and how the dogs were doing overall, which gave me so much peace of mind. She also sent lots of pictures every day, which we loved. Heather cared for our pets and our home as if they were her own. We felt completely comfortable and confident while we were away. We will definitely use her again and highly recommend her!”

I am just here to help give you a peace of mind and safe place for your baby to be while your away.
“Christina did a great job taking care of my GSP Razz. She spent time with them, took him on a walk, play ball and make sure that he stayed on track with his schedule. I’ve had the pleasure of having her watch Razz on two separate visits and both times she did a good job. I would highly recommend her.”

Yvette is an amazing dog sitter!! She is reliable, caring, and attentive. Our pups were so well cared for, loved, and happy while we were away. We received updates, photos, and complete peace of mind the entire time. Highly recommend and will definitely book again!
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 ❤️

FAQs for House Sitting - Avondale
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Avondale on Rover is $33.3 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 4,339 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Avondale. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
