About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was a kid. Including dogs, cats, iguanas, turtles, and aquarium fish. I’ve had many different pets along the way, but currently only have one cat Penny. My kids are grown and out of the house so I have lots of flexibility. I work as a teacher but available most weekends, and maybe even during the week depending on the circumstances. You are opening your home to me and that is something that I do not take lightly. I am neat and clean and will leave your house that way too. I will love on your fur baby whatever way they need. Snuggles, treats, a passing glance at the grouchy kitty, I’m there for ya!
“Abigail was amazing at looking after Freddy and Rufus! She made sure to take pictures and communicated with me before and after every visit which was gave me great peace of mind while I was away.”
“I’ve booked with her several times now, and she has been wonderful every single time. She’s reliable, dependable, and always keeps me updated with detailed visit notes and photos, which gives me so much peace of mind while I’m away. She takes great care of my indoor cats, checks on my outdoor cat, and even spot cleans any little messes she finds. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. I highly recommend her, and I’ll definitely continue booking with her in the future!”
“She was so attentive she sent me pictures and videos and asked me questions and really was super nice and super caring for both of my dogs. They love pieces and we will be definitely using her again. Thank you so much for your love and care during this time.”
“My cat was a bit shy with new people and difficult to deal with. She still did a great job and I would recommend her. Provided great updates and feedback to give us a peace of mind while away.”
About: I’ve always had a huge heart for animals! As a proud pet parent to four dogs, I have firsthand experience caring for different breeds, personalities, and individual needs. My experience also extends to fostering kittens, caring for community cats, and helping animals who need extra love and patience. I’m comfortable with everything from energetic pups to senior pets who need a gentler approach. I understand how important routines, patience, and attention are when caring for animals. Whether your pet needs playtime, companionship, or a little extra TLC, I’ll treat them with the same love and care I give my own. 🐾❤️ I work a full-time hybrid schedule, which gives me some flexibility to incorporate pet care into my routine. I’m available for pet care around my work commitments, including evenings and weekends, with additional flexibility on certain weekdays. I value reliability and communication, so I’ll always make sure we’re on the same page about scheduling and your pet’s needs before confirming a booking! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priorities! As a pet parent myself, I know how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member in someone else’s care. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions. I’ll always respect your home, follow your care preferences, and provide updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. I believe in creating a calm, loving, and stress-free experience where every animal feels safe, respected, and cared for. 🐾
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life in the household. When I was a young teen my first job was dog walking the neighborhood dogs as well as dog sitting for vacationing families.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Avondale
Daisy was absolutely amazing. One of the best dog sitters ive had. She sent me lots of photos and played with them, sent me detailed info on her visits and how theyre doing. She went above and beyond. I could not recommend her enough and she will be my go to in the future.
Our pups absolutely love having Lindsey come over to check on them. I naturally have anxiety for my dogs having to be away from us, and being able to feel comfortable with having someone come into the home to care for them has been wonderful. We highly recommend Lindsey!
Rachel is absolutely amazing. She is the only rover we will ever use. She is a genuine and kind person, and our cat adores her. Rachel is dependable, has great communication, and plenty of experience. We received messages every visit and our kitty even gave her kisses!
Thank you for checking in on the pups! I’m glad you were able to spend some time with them. Would it be ok if I out you in a group texting chat with four other girls only for the purposes of using the chat in the future if called out of town for that transplant? If yes, please confirm your phone number . And if you’re uncomfortable with that no worries, I’m happy to contact you on rover. I just figured it will be easier to coordinate something last minute with the group of emergency pet care roster I’ve created. Thank you for being willing to jump in if you’re available when that time comes!
We had Allyson do a drop in when we took a day trip to Phoenix. She had stayed with our pets for a long weekend, so we were perfectly comfortable that all would go well. And it did. She’s a great communicator and really cares about our animals. Highly recommend her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Avondale is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 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 November 2026, there are 6,378 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Avondale. 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Avondale. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
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.
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 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.
