“Martie was amazing! It was our first time being away so long and having someone house sit and care for our elderly dog and energetic cat. We received so many pictures, and so many good ones! She put our mind at ease. And she was so responsive with communication. Should we need this service again there is no doubt we would want her!”
“Erin was so excellent with our two doodles! She sent us plenty of updates to give us peace of mind, and although we did not ask her to clean, I’m pretty sure she did. Our home did not look like somebody had been here dog sitting/house sitting while we were gone. We will definitely check to see if Erin is available again if we need future dog care. 10/10 highly recommend!”
“Laurie was great! We needed a last minute sitter and Laurie jumped in to help out. She took great care of our pups and house. You could tell in the pics that they were relaxed and having fun. We have 3 dogs, which can be a lot. One is highly anxious but warmed up to Laurie the first day. She have very thoughtful and excellent questions about the dogs and housebefore we left and as needed during her stay. I couldn't have been happier and more comfortable. We will definitely be asking Laurie to sit for us again!”
“Wendy did great I was gone for a week and was very nervous of leaving my dogs alone for the first time but she helped ease my mind with good communication and daily updates.”
“Evelyn did a great job with Stella, who recently went through tail surgery and had some extra needs. She sent photos, cared for Stella well, and left the house in great condition after her stay.”
“Jennifer took care of our 2 dogs and home for a few days - she did a fantastic job! She communicates regularly with pictures and information which is super helpful and comforting while being away. We highly recommend Jennifer!”
“Emma stayed with my cat Patrick for a week while I was in another state for work. Patrick needs some special attention and takes daily medication. She did a great job making sure he was taking care of and comfortable! Additionally, she communicated with me well and made sure to send me some pictures every day!”
About: Hello! I have been a dog walker/sitter for 8 years and have taken care of several clients and their dogs, including relatives and neighbors. I am 18 years old, with a dog of my own and a huge passion for dogs, who is currently studying to be a veterinarian. Additionally, I take pride and excellence in letting dogs outside, cleaning up their messes, having high patience and tolerance, ability to withstand dog barking/scratching/biting etc, bathing, feeding, watering, and dog walking. I also give special attention to any additional needs a dog may have At this time, I am not working any part time or full time jobs. I am willing to support you and your pet family at any time and during any day. Based on your preferences, I can walk and sit your dogs at any frequency. Just let me know what works best for them and I will be willing to accommodate you When it comes to my neighbor’s, relative’s, and my own dog, I take care of them by putting food and water in their bowls once they run empty, taking them outside when they line up at the door or every 0-2 hours, giving them lots of pets, separating any dog that gets in a fight with their sibling using calm/safe measures, plenty of walks and a kind demeanor. Any dog that is in my care will be in good hands
“Emily was awesome! We were using Rover for the first time and she was so helpful! Our dogs absolutely loved her at the meet and greet:)! She kept us updated during our entire trip and the dogs were super happy!!! We couldn't have asked for more…we will be asking her back for next year!!!”
“3rd time sitting for us and Zoey was familiar with him upon arrival. Lots of pictures which are appreciated. House was cleaned and sheets were washed and bed was remade. Highly recommend and look forward to using Randy again!”
“Kelsey took wonderful care of our house and garden. She followed all our instructions conscientiously and even left us some gifts commemorating our dog Mr. Tigs who recently passed away. She's awesome!”
“This was our first time using a service like this and we chose someone close in our neighborhood. Evan took excellent care of our dogs Jacko and Jace. He gave us periodic updates on how his week is going and send photos boys smile of the boys smiling. We would definitely recommend him to housesit and care for your pets while you’re on vacation or away and we will definitely use them in the future.”
“Jenna was great. Super communicative, very attentive during the meet and greet, and sent regular updates for both my pets. I would definitely have her house sit again!”
“Heather was fantastic for an overnight stay with my pup! She was with him as much as her schedule allowed to minimize his time alone, which was so appreciated. She sent great updates and pictures, which always helps! She also left the house in perfect condition. Looking forward to using her to care for my pup again!”
“Amina did a wonderful job with our dog and two cats. They needed to be rotated throughout the day because they can’t be in the same room together. I had no worries while I was gone, Amina communicated very well. And when I came home from my trip everybody was in good spirits and the house was clean.”
“Maryn is a superstar! My little girl was sick the entire time I was on vacation. Maryn gave her every medication needed and extra snuggles to help her feel better.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Avondale
Kaitlyn was a joy to work with. She helped us when our 1st sitter canceled last minute and even rearranged her vacation to assist us with a meet and greet and then house & pet sit. Our dog Zeus loved her and his new pal Penny. Our kitty had some anxiety as expected from having another doggie friend but seemed fine when we got home. Kaitlyn was amazing as she came by a few days later to deliver our garage door opener. We’d definitely recommend her and will use her again in the future. Thank you Kaitlyn & Penny for taking such great care of our fur babies!
This was myy first time with a dog sitter and it was beyond my expectations! During Jennifer's meet and greet she took copious notes she shared them with me later. During her stay she was in constant communication which I preferred. Here's where we went beyond she played sniff and puzzle games with my dogs. Helped make adjustments with potty time to greatly reduce accidents that I was struggling with and taught one of my dogs how to sit nicely and not beg during treat time. I highly recommend Jennifer!!!
Evan stayed in our home for over two weeks with our four animals (two cats, two dogs), and we couldn’t be more grateful! He sent us lots of updates with cute photos and videos, and our animals clearly loved him. He even extended his stay when our plans changed, and our home was clean and organized when we returned. We will absolutely be reaching out to Evan again in the future. Thank you for everything!
Wendy is the best dog sitter and I feel so lucky to have found her! The dogs loved that she played with them so much and gave them lots of attention and we loved getting lots of photos and updates. Our dogs are big and loud so I get anxious about having someone new come over but it was no problem for her. She left our house clean and our dogs happy. She’s the first sitter we’ve had that reached out to me ahead of our trip to confirm the stay. We will be using Wendy’s service for all our trips going forward.
The best sitter we've ever had! He took the time to ask about any special needs, was communicative, and sent plenty of photos and videos so we didn't miss out on any fun moments when we were away. 10/5 stars for Diamonds. We will definitely be using him again!
Emma stayed with my cat Patrick for a week while I was in another state for work. Patrick needs some special attention and takes daily medication. She did a great job making sure he was taking care of and comfortable! Additionally, she communicated with me well and made sure to send me some pictures every day!

FAQs for House Sitting - Avondale
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Avondale on Rover is $52.73 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,536 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.

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.
