“Jane is amazing with our dogs! We took a long trip and were not worried about home because we knew our dogs were being well cared for. Jane provided great pictures and updates on our dogs and we could see they were having a great time. This is our second booking with Jane and we plan to use her for all of our trips.”
“Willow is always great with our dogs. She arrives on time, stays plenty of time for the dogs to eat, drink, use the restroom and get their wiggles out, and is always responsive. I couldn’t recommend Willow enough.”
“Patricia was truly amazing, and I couldn’t be more grateful for her care. She took extra time to help my dog warm up and feel safe, which meant everything to me. My pup was extremely difficult at first, but Patricia was so patient, gentle, and kind- never rushed, never discouraged. She went above and beyond by taking my dog on long walks, giving medication exactly as requested, and even working with her on training (she helped her learn to lay down!). The constant photo updates were so reassuring and showed just how much love and attention she was giving. It’s clear Patricia genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such thoughtful, capable hands. Thank you so much, Patricia — you’re incredible, and I would trust you again in a heartbeat!”
About: I have been a lifelong pet lover since the age of nine, and caring for animals has been a natural part of my life ever since. I bring extensive personal experience walking dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I truly love both dogs and cats equally. Over the years, I have maintained a perfect track record with other people's pets by always treating them with patience, respect, and genuine care. My goal is to make sure every pet feels loved and comfortable while their family is away. I take time to play, engage, and build trust with each animal, while also following feeding instructions carefully and listening closely to every owner’s directions. I have flexible availability during the week, especially during daytime hours, which makes pet sitting a great fit for my schedule. I’m often available when people are at work, managing daily routines, or away during summer vacation periods. At the same time, I’m building up my massage therapy business and looking for ways to earn extra income responsibly. Pet sitting lets me use this time productively while offering reliable care and attention to pets that need companionship during the day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I listen carefully to each owner’s directions and specific needs so I can provide care that feels consistent and personal. I respect your home and treat it with the same care and consideration I would expect for my own space. From the moment I arrive until the time I leave, I work to keep pets comfortable and secure in their familiar surroundings. I also take time to help them adjust to my presence so they can feel at ease and confident while you are away. Throughout the visit, I maintain a calm, attentive approach and make sure both your pets and your home are cared for respectfully.
About: Transitioning into full time trainer, I offer expert care for small-large breeds. I provide shelter-tested experience & structured introductions with my two obedience trained dogs. I work from home so I am able to provide 24/7 supervision along with routine walks throughout the day to keep your dog busy & tired! I know a routine is important so being able to be home allows me to be on YOUR dog's schedule such as feeding/exercise. I have a fenced yard & two friendly dogs who are crate trained. I will want to have a meet & greet so your dog & I can become acquaintances! You wouldn't want to be dropped off at a strangers home right? So it's definitely for the best! All interactions will be monitored because I know the importance of watching your dog's body language to understand if they're feeling comfortable or need some space.
“Emily took such good care of my dog, it was a pleasure to meet her. I felt much better about leaving my dog in her hands. I look forward to rebooking with her again.”
About: I’m an experienced dog sitter and proud dog owner of my own pup, Zjefke. I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds and sizes, providing daily walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of love. I make sure every furry friend feels safe, happy, and cared for while their owners are away! Taking care of pets is normally a big part of my daily and weekly routine, especially with my own dog, Zjefke. Since we couldn’t take him with us recently, I’ve really missed that daily connection. I love providing walks, playtime, feeding, and cuddles, and I bring the same care and attention to every dog and cat I look after. In my home, pets are part of the family. I care for them with love and attention, following their routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest. We also have a 2-year-old child who adores animals, so pets get lots of cuddles, gentle interaction, and companionship. I ensure they feel safe, happy, and well-cared-for, and I keep owners updated on how their furry friends are doing
About: I’m a reliable college student with a flexible schedule who provides a calm, dog-free home with a fenced yard, and I always listen carefully to any concerns or specific care instructions to ensure each pet—puppy or senior—gets attentive, personalized care; after the loss of my own dog, I’ve become deeply dedicated to giving every pet the same love, comfort, and attentive care I would give my own. Pet care fits easily into my routine since I’m a college student currently back home with a flexible schedule. I’m available everyday for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and other pet care needs, and I can adjust my schedule to meet each pet’s routine. I provide attentive care by following each pet’s routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and comfort, and if staying in my home, they’ll have access to a secure fenced yard with no other dogs present.
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!
About: I grew up with both cats and dogs. My father kept 4 beautiful dogs, and my grandmother had 2-4 outdoor cats. I was only 10 year old and I was the one primarily feeding, bathing, and walking our pets. Now, I have two feline babies of my own and I love them dearly. I am active duty military, so I work a normal 9-5 Monday through Friday. I am available on the weekend to walk, pet sit, feed, clean litter boxes, or do check ups on your fur babies :) If you require my services during the weekday, let me know and we can see if we can work something out! I have a spacious 2 bed, 2 bath apartment. I have my own 2 feline babies with me but can keep them separated if your fur baby would rather be alone. I have guest room that is vacant and comfortable enough for them to be in. My apartment complex has many amenities, one that includes a dog park for your fur babies to run around and have fun.
“Cheerio loved Alexandra’s drop-in visits! As a first-timer on Rover, Alexandra’s experience with pet care and Rover made the whole process seem-less and worry free. Very happy with Alexandra’s pet care and the Rover experience. Will book again in the future. 👍🏼”
“My cats absolutely loved Jaylah! It was great to know they were excited to see her during each visit, so much so that my usual anxious cat was super comfy around her! Super communicative, accommodating, and knew exactly how to approach my cats. Definitely will book again in the future! (:”
About: I have loved and cared for animals for most of my life and have hands-on experience with both cats and small dogs at every stage of life, from kittens and puppies to senior pets. I understand that older pets may require extra patience and attention, while younger pets benefit from playtime, consistency, and routine. I strive to provide reliable, loving care that helps pets feel comfortable and secure in their own environment. I’m attentive to routines, feeding schedules, litter box and potty needs, and each pet’s individual personality and comfort level. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I am currently semi-retired and I am generally available most days, including weekends. Daytime is my preferred time to watch and care for your pets. I am attentive to pets in their home environments and am attentive and cautious with open doors, etc. in order to ensure your pets' safety.
“Lindsey was absolutely incredible. Our boys loved her and she did an incredible job with them. She really went above and beyond and helped care for our cats, with one of them being very sick and gave us updates on him. Her communication was always thorough and she always sent us pictures and videos! It was a great experience!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of many kinds for the past decade. From low maintenance couch potato’s, to high maintenance bursts of energy, and everything in between! I have 2 yrs of education in animal behavior and health within the veterinary field…so your pup is in safe hands! I am a 2nd year college student taking online classes, allowing for daily pet care! I’m looking to dedicate the time that I’m not studying towards your four legged friend! I have experience within a veterinary office environment which taught me a lot about the safety and behavior of canines. It’s this education that I will be using to make sure your pets safety is top priority!

Lindsey was absolutely incredible. Our boys loved her and she did an incredible job with them. She really went above and beyond and helped care for our cats, with one of them being very sick and gave us updates on him. Her communication was always thorough and she always sent us pictures and videos! It was a great experience!
Jane is always perfect ❤️ our dogs are so much more calm when we get home when Jane watches them vs anyone else. They love her. We have a senior who is approaching more problematic years. And Jane has been so interested in her and her condition. We trust her to be the one with her when we are gone.
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!
Destiny was great with my 4 cats for 2 full weeks! She sent updates and pictures each day and was very fast to respond to any questions or concerns. She also helped with a couple extra things, like bringing in my Amazon packages. She was amazing!! I would highly recommend her! I will definitely be asking for her again in the future! Thank you!

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Avondale stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% 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 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.
