“Alexis continues to impress. It did not take my dog long to go from anxiety to chillin’ with her on the couch. Alexis is timely, communicative, warm, safe, and considerate of my fur baby. My anxiety of being away for 10-11 hours a day has calmed down considerably. I would absolutely refer Alexis to any pet owner!”
About: I was the kid who always brought home the strays! I have experience working with both dogs and cats in a Humane Society, where I cared for animals of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. I love dogs and cats, including the ones with a little attitude! I’m patient, dependable, and understand that every pet has unique needs and deserves individual attention and care. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate your pet’s needs. I’m available to provide reliable, attentive care and work with your schedule to make sure your pet gets the attention and care they deserve. I have two dogs and four cats of my own, so I understand the importance of providing a safe, clean, and loving environment for pets. My pets receive plenty of love and attention from me and my family. I also stay on top of cleanup, including maintaining a clean yard and fresh litter boxes. I’ll treat your pets and your home with the same care and respect I give my own.
About: I am a passionate dog owner and animal lover. I have experience with fostering and rehabilitating dogs. I am very invested in animals receiving appropriate interaction and mental and physical stimulation daily. All animals big and small are welcome to my services. For sitting at my home, I have a fully fenced in back yard where dogs can stretch their legs at any time of day, safely enclosed on the property. I have very friendly dogs that can provide companionship and socialization for pets. I have experience with basic to intermediate dog training and am always happy to help an animal reach their potential!! At this time I do only freelance work, so my availability is open for any of your petsitting needs whether its a midday potty and play break, an overnight stay, or a full vacation. I have a fenced in back yard for frequent bathroom breaks. My dog is very well mannered and spend most of their time roaming the house/napping/playing, but is also crate trained for times when they need to be out of the way for their safety. I would host dogs in similar conditions, or come to them at their home in their usual conditions and routine
“Sasha was great! I had plans change last minute so was in a pinch trying to find a pet sitter. Sasha was able to set up a meet and greet last minute so my dog Zoey was familiar with her when she did the drop-in. She is kind, responsible, and took good care of Zoey!”
About: I am an avid dog lover and dog trainer dedicated to providing exceptional care for your pets. Having grown up with pets and personally owned eight (including my feline friends), I have a lifetime of experience. I enjoy working with all dogs, specializing in rescue dogs and large breeds like Great Danes. I am happy to accommodate any special requirements or desires your pet may have. I look forward to meeting and caring for your loved one like they are my own. **please read scheduling details as I work a split schedule during the week** I am currently available for dog care, drop-ins, and walking during the following times: Weekdays: Available after 5:30 PM every day. Weekends: Available all day Saturday and Sunday for ALL services. Note on Scheduling: I currently work a full-time, split schedule during the week (5:30 AM – 10:30 AM with a 2-hour break, then 12:30 PM – 5:30 PM). If my availability appears unavailable online, please contact me directly, and we can work out a time. I have two very well-behaved and socialized dogs at home: My Great Dane loves playing with other dogs and is friendly with cats (if they permit!). My Labrynesse is a calm, older dog. Neither of my dogs is aggressive or territorial, and they adapt well to schedule changes. I have kennels available and plenty of space for dogs to run, along with constant access to fresh water. I also have a playful puppy who is energetic and currently undergoing training.
“Samira did an amazing job with my cats while I was on vacation. She even brought her own cat toys over to play with them. She stayed in touch and sent photos and videos so that I knew the cats were doing well. Thank you so much Samira!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Avondale
Zapporah came in twice a day to feed and play with my 2 cats for a little over 2 weeks while I was away in Europe, and I cannot be happier! She really put my nervous cats at ease (in fact, one of them hides from everyone, but he came out for her within a few days). She took very good care of my kitties, played with them, maintained the litter box and was very communicative. I felt a lot more comfortable being so far away for so long with them in her care and I will absolutely work with her again in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Avondale is $14 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $25 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 128 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:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
