“We couldn’t recommend Theresa enough. Very detail-oriented and makes sure our pup gets enough outside time, belly rubs, walks, and is fully taken care of each day. Highly recommend!”
“Morgan was easy to work with for my last-minute request to have someone check in on my dog! I got cute pictures of him on a walk and the house was accident-free when I got home!”
“Kody took care of my two pugs for almost a month and he goes beyond what I ask him to do, he walks them late night and played with them after, he is also very easy to talk to, willing to do stuff that is not part of the job. Definitely someone I will be calling again the next time I will go out of town. Thank you very much”
“Samantha was truly amazing! Communication was always persistent and we got the best updates with lots of pictures/videos. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter!”
“Maggie was great at communicating about our cats and any important updates. She also proactively reached out for any schedule adjustment requests and made sure they were well taken care of”
About: Hey y'all! I'm a looooong time fur mom and lover of all animals. We have a 3 goofy rescues Innu, Brodie Lee and lil sis Alora, but we want to help 'em make more friends! They are SUPER dog friendly and so are we. We take them on walks through our neighborhood and local parks which can lead to off path walking, so I may have to give a bath to your fur babies. We live in a hard wood floor house so accidents are no sweat to us! Our home is well kept and very animal friendly. I've worked in shelters, rescues, and have had many rehabilitated and injured fur babies throughout my life. My kids are my helpers as they are ready for new dogs with different levels of activities and have learned basic training methods from following me. We're here to be the safest and BEST sitters in the metro! I work remotely from my office which looks out into the back yard and allots me a great deal of time to really bond and have a good time sitting others pups! With all to do in the city I just know your pups will enjoy us as much as ours do. I have a oddly terrained fenced yard with a flat patio and tons of shady spots for the dogs to lounge for as long as they please (weather permitting). I leave a big ole' water bowl out there as well - holds 2 gallons and I fill it every day at the beginning and throughout the day.
About: I have grown up having various pets, but mostly dogs my entire life. I have a love for all types of dogs and pets in general. I have a dog that I have raised since he was a puppy. I have trained him to do multiple tricks and to obley not only me, but anyone who tells him a command. I have dog sat for many friends and family members when they have been away. I do mot have a lot or Rover experice, but the dogs that i have met through here have made a lasting impression on me and I cannot wait to meet more! I currently have a home with three small dogs that get along great with others. Myvprefrace would be going on walks with dogs after work .
“I needed recurring visits & Arrica was more than helpful with my dog! She truly saw my dog as her own & took wonderful care of him. Will be booking with her again if I need someone to drop in on him!”
“Virginia was very reliable and always sent photos and a detailed summary of her visits, so we always knew our dog was being well cared for while we were on vacation. We would definitely use her again!”
“Billy Jo, thank you so much!! You went the extra mile, literally..to come meet us before your visits. So grateful for the reliable help and excellent care of our little buddy! Thanks for the pictures and updates during your visits!”
About: Growing up I always had some sort of pet whether that be my bearded dragon, leopard gecko, cats, dogs, birds, all of it. I recently lost my disabled kitty but he taught me lots about medication administration, accessibility, and so many more things that are needed when working with a disabled or any kind of medical condition in pets. I now have a kitten and thankfully my childhood dog is still alive which I’m very grateful for. I’d love to spend time with your babies too! I live in Columbia because my boyfriend goes to Mizzou, but I currently am not working anywhere, so I can help you out anytime, anywhere:) I am very careful when it comes to pet safety. Like mentioned earlier my baby, Theo, is disabled as well as special needs. He takes medication and has to have certain accommodations around the apartment just for him. Making sure he is safe is a big priority as well as a big priority for your pet too!
“Ariana was wonderful with Holly! She was sweet, communicative, and kept me updated throughout the drop-ins. I felt comfortable knowing Holly was in good hands and would book with Ariana again.”
About: 🐾Hello! I have over a decade of dog sitting experience, ranging from pomeranians to saint bernards. Whether you need someone to keep up with your energetic pup or provide company and attentive care for your laid back senior dog, I'm here to ensure they feel loved and cared for while you're away. 😊 I currently work full time, monday - friday, as well as attend grad school. My availability for house sitting begins on friday nights after 5pm, and through the weekend! Additional availability for walks and drop in care on weeknights. I work in the Mission/Shawnee area so I may be able to provide drop in care over my lunch break as well. :) Safety and communication are my top priorities. I maintain your pets routine to ensure they feel comfortable, and provide regular updates for your peace of mind. You can expect plenty of photos during our time together. 📸 Feel free to message me to schedule a meet up prior to providing care!
About: Grew up with dogs. Had a cat. Love animals. Babysit my daughter’s dogs. Don’t have any of my own animals right now, so I can take care of other people‘s dogs or cats! I’m available all days from morning till three in the afternoon or for overnights and boarding . I can be flexible with my schedule because I am retired. I love walking dogs. I watch my daughter’s dogs quite a bit. We’ll go on walks. Have a big back yard so they can run and play in the backyard. They can sit in my lap in the house, we can play with their toys! I have a fenced backyard. I live on a quiet street. I enjoy going on walks with dogs. I don’t have any animals right now so I can take care of other people’s dogs. I used to have two dogs and a cat. They all lived to old age.
“Taylor did a fantastic job with my kitties! They both came out for her. She spent lots of quality time with them. My home looked and smelled clean when we got home from vacation, which never happens. She refilled my auto feeder when it got low and kept on top of the wet food and water refills. She even ran the vacuum and swept up litter kicked out of the box by my crazy young one. 10/10 recommend!”
“Lauren checks on my puppy Minnow for an hour, two to three times a week. Minnow is a working breed so I have a specific set of instructions to tire her out with training, sniff games and play time. Lauren follows it all and Minnow is always relaxed after her visit. I really appreciate her accommodating my schedule for Minnow and giving her the best care! She even gives my kitty some love while she’s there. Thanks Lauren :)”

Sally is amazing!! She's friendly, warm, genuine and responsible. My fur babies adored her from the moment they met her. She kept me well informed, sent pics of my babies daily, and gave them lots of love and attention while I was away. She'll be the first person I reach out to the next time I need a cat sitter. I highly recommend Sally!
Jessica is not only our dogs trainer, but she jumped in last minute to let watch our dogs and cat while we had to leave town for a funeral. By the looks on our pets faces she did an AMAZING job and we will continue to have her work with our pets to ensure we have a cohesive “pack”.
Caitlyn was a wonderful pet sitter for our two cats! They were relaxed and happy to see us when we got home due to Caitlyn's work with them each day. She was very good about communication and sent us a check in with pictures and how the kitties were doing. She played with them and made sure they got plenty of treats and pets! I really appreciated it, this is the longest we had left our cats ever and having a young kitten and a geriatric cat, problems can come up and I worry. She made it all very easy and I would definitely recommend her if you need a reliable responsible pet sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Avondale is $19 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $24 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 2,609 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:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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 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.
