“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.”
“Maria was beyond amazing!!! She was even able to accommodate and stay an extra day when our flights got changed at the last minute. She kept us updated the entire time with videos and photos. She is truly a gem!!!”
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!
“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! ☺️”
“Alison was great! I had a few schedule changes and she was so flexible and easy to work with. While I was away, she shared updates and photos daily which made being away so much easier. I could tell that my dogs were very well cared for the entire time! She even walked the dogs going above and beyond! I will definitely be using her again in the future :)”
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!
“Jennifer was fantastic throughout the entire process! She was very responsive and came over for a meet and greet prior to watching our dogs in our home. This was our first time using Rover and for an out of country vacation! I was pretty nervous about leaving my fur babies, but Jennifer helped to reassure me that everything was okay. When we left, Jen came over to help with the transition and I was able to leave on my trip knowing the dogs would be well looked after. I will absolutely be booking with Jen again!”
About: I live a routinely active lifestyle. I get along well with animals because I never give them a reason to not get along with me. I also provide services like shoveling snow, racking leaves, watering plants, and pulling weeds, and taking out the trash. If interested please reach out for further details. I am also looking to gain more experience training all kinds of lovable pets. I’m athletic, so I’d be able to give your dog some good exercise and I know some great spots for dog walks. You can count on my communication, consistency, and efficiency. (For extra cash) I also provide: pulling weeds, mowing lawn, taking out trash, watering plants, collecting mail, any thing that makes your life easier. My philosophy is to always consider the little things in completing tasks. Roll the dice on me😁 I have a flexible schedule! As long as we plan ahead of time I can adjust my schedule fairly easily. Otherwise I would decline the offer. I’m great at following directions and from my perspective pets tend to trust me right away. I ask plenty of questions to make sure the client and I are on the same page.
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.
“We are so thankful for Rachel and her willingness to take in our Watts!! Her in-depth dig into who he is as a pup helped ease our stress of having to leave him behind over thanksgiving! Daily updates of their adventures helped make us miss him less knowing that he was having just as much fun as we were. Upon his return to us, you can tell he wasn’t stressed while away and that his mind was challenge. He definitely returned with better manners than he left us with, and our own training and expectations were held in place while away. We hope to be able to use her again in the future!!!”
About: I don’t mind any size dog or breed. I’ve owned two Siberian huskies in my life. I also grew up around a chow chow and Rottweiler. I also don’t mind helping with basic training skills. 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!
About: Animal lover of all types and sizes. Flexible schedule for the care of your dogs, cats, and exotics. Veterinary technician experience of 2+ years with formal education. Extensive experience with bottle feeding and the attentive care of very young kittens. I have a very flexible work schedule, and I update my pet care hours weekly. 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.
“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.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Avondale
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 77 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.
<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.
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.
