“Cambridge is absolute blessing. She was great at communicating with me the entire time she stayed. She was always punctual and cleaned up too. What I liked the most about her was how caring of person she was with my fur babies. She even sent me pictures of them which I was grateful to have.”
“Beverly did a great job with our dog Koda. We will definitely be using her again. She sent pictures everyday and left the house exactly how we left it. I would recommend her to anyone! ☺️”
“Maria did a great job watching our dog for five days! She kept us updated with messages and photos. Our dog has a couple special needs which she handled with care. Would highly recommend.”
“Amelia was amazing. I have 3 dogs and one of them is skittish but Amelia was excellent with her, my dog had an accident in the house and Amelia cleaned it thoroughly. Thank you.”
“Alison is amazing and I highly recommend her! She was my first sitter using Rover and the first dog sitter I’ve hired that I didn’t know. She took excellent care of my senior dog Jax (13 year old malamute mix with arthritis who is on multiple medications) and excellent care of my home! I was nervous about leaving him, but my nerves were instantly calmed when I met her for an introduction meeting before my trip. She sent multiple photos each day and her updates on how he was doing made me feel like she genuinely cared about him. I usually get some attitude from Jax for leaving him, but he was in such good spirits when I came home that I really think he enjoyed his time with her. The house was the least of my concerns, but she took excellent care of that as well! Don’t hesitate to book with her if she’s available! I would give her 100 stars if possible.”
About: I'm a caring and responsible dog walker/sitter in the Pueblo, Colorado area. I have experience handling multiple breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I have pets of my own so I understand the importance of keeping your fur baby in good hands! I am available daily throughout the week as often as services are needed. I provide care as early as 7am, even overnight and house sitting. I have a fenced from yard with 3 other fur babies and also a crate/6ft+ yard leashes. When I am in the comfort of your home I can adjust as needed!
About: I've lived on a farm my whole life along with my grandmother being a animal rehaber. I have also owned dogs all my life ,I currently have 3 of my own who I love dearly! I know how to give meds and I am amazing at following any schedule you have for your furbaby. I can do daily or weekly ,I am open all day . The only times I may not be is if something comes up personally or to spend time and of course take care of my own furbabies! I give them the best care possible I love to send clients photos or videos of me taking care of their furry companion or playing with them. I also am very respectful to their home if they have codes to get in keep it all confidential!
About: Currently, I work part-time at boarding & grooming facility in Pueblo West, CO. As a kennel technician, I work with dogs/cats of all behaviors and a variety of medications (except ones with a needle). Now approaching 2 years working there, I can handle just about any quirks your pets have. My mom has always worked in vet medicine, so my passion for animals started from the beginning! My real pet care started when we brought home a Aussie/Border Collie rescue, while I was just a pre-teen. He was very emotionally shut down when we brought him home, technically, not adoptable. This was my first in-depth introduction to dog behaviors and how complicated herding breeds can be. My other main passion is photography, which dogs are one of my favorite subjects! While the services I offer vary, my main love is nature & wildlife. When I'm not working at the kennel, I'm building my business! I work part-time, but my schedule can be a bit sporadic, either a half day in the morning or afternoon (either 7am-1 pm or 1pm-6pm). The rest of the time, I would be able to spend with your animals! While house-sitting, I like to spend lots of time with the pets because I value their trust & comfort over anything! I'm an early riser, so we can get outside for a walk before it's too hot! With lots of practice and a strong Pitbull of my own at home, I can handle walking strong dogs. Pets are treated as an equal member of the family! Being in their space, I understand the importance of maintaining their routine and habits. I know from my time at the kennel that feeding/medication schedules and directions can be very specific. Also, I am happy to continue any training or work they've already been doing!
About: Hello! I am an animal care professional with 6+ years in the pet care industry and many more years of working with all kinds of animals! I have worked with dogs, cats, horses and other farm animals and I treat every single one as if they were my own! I have experience administering medications and dealing with animals under stress, so even if your pup or kitty is a little nervous or needs extra help - no worries, I’ve got this! My schedule is very open right now! Let me know when you need me and I’ll be there. If there are any conflicts or changes, I will let you know. I have experience handling animals in a kennel and home environment, and I firmly believe that care at home is the best for all pets to reduce stress. Any special requirements or feeding/potty/medication needs will be met if details are provided.

I will provide active care if requested. I walk dogs but also do bike joring for the proper dogs! Hope to hear from you! Hi, I’m Baron. I work part time at a golf course and am excited to try rover. I’ve had multiple dogs throughout my life and have taken care of may friends and family dogs as well. I don’t mind if dogs as I’ve had two Siberians in my life! I will gladly take the dogs for a walk, or game of fetch. Whatever is requested. I love dogs and am also an active person! If the dog just like to relax that’s fine too!

I am normally available ANY day after 5:30 as well. Text me for special requests! I have fenced yard and spare room which is kept separate from my own pets. I also live in very close proximity to several paved walking trails, and would love to cater to wooded, unpaved trail environments as well. In your home, or on walks, i will utilize my veterinary experience to read your pet's emotional and physical state as well as your careful instructions to provide the utmost care.
About: Hey! My name is lizzy! I am an expert in caring for any of your fur babies! I have been in 4-H as well as have always had a pet in my life. I know it can be scary leaving your baby alone but I can guarantee a safe/happy environment for both the pet and the parents while you’re gone! I am currently a nursing student all online at CSUP looking for a little extra money to get me through! I will always make sure your pet is well taken care of and checked on as much as needed throughout the day! I take care of pets like they’re human babies! There is no animal that I don’t love so their safety is my top priority. I put care into each individual baby and never lack in making sure they are the most well taken care of one in the house!
About: I am a very active and athletic pet sitter who truly loves spending time with dogs. I enjoy playing with them, going on long walks, running, and hiking, making sure they get plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. I believe staying active helps dogs stay happy, healthy, and balanced. I treat every pet as if they were my own, always providing love, attention, and a safe, fun environment. Working with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and I always make sure pets feel comfortable, cared for, and loved. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to pet care. I enjoy being active throughout the day, so I love taking dogs on walks, runs, and outdoor activities.

I follow all instructions provided by pet parents, keep a clean and secure environment, and closely monitor pets at all times. I am attentive to their needs, routines, and behavior, making sure they feel safe, loved, and stress-free.
“Reagan did an amazing job watching our 3 pets. She agreed to watch them, on short notice, and over the holidays! It was such a relief knowing they were in good hands while we were out of town. We got tons of updates and pictures. 10/10 will use Reagan again in the future.”
“Mikaila was amazing. I had a last minute (less than 6 hours) need for a dog sitter and Mikaila answered my request so promptly and was able to accommodate on such short notice. My dogs loved her and had a great time and the house was just as we had left it. Will definitely use her again!”
About: Years of owning different pets or being around them. Have raised puppies into good dogs. Watched my buddies aged and learned how to take care of them and not push them too hard. I pay attention to subtle changes in the dogs behavior and adjust what is needed to ensure their safety and comfort. The days I have available are because I work full-time Tuesday through Friday and I do not have a set clock out time as it varies day by day. My off/free days are flexible, and any scheduled time is devoted to your pup. When I get to watch your dog at your home, I will follow the rules you have laid out. My goal will be to maintain the safe and calm environment you as the owner have set for the dog, but playing and horsing around as able.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 79 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
