“Jenni was WONDERFUL! On her second visit she asked if she could bring her dog for a playdate with her boyfriend and she sent photos and videos of happy, tail wagging pups playing ball together! I'm going to hire Jenni to come more regularly, hopefully with her pup! I will definitely use her for boarding because now my guy will be right at home with them all!”

“I'm thrilled that I selected Irina to provide a couple drop-ins for my shy dog while we were away. Irina's warm approach helped my dog quickly feel comfortable around her, and the happiness evident in the photos she sent reassured me greatly. She arrived on time, took my dog on nice long walks, and ensured he had everything he needed, including food and water. The regular photo updates during each visit were a thoughtful touch, and I wholeheartedly recommend her services.”

About: Hi! I’m Jackie, a reliable and caring pet sitter who truly enjoys being around animals. I’ve had dogs in the past and currently have a cat, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet’s care and routine. I’ve also filled in for my sister-in-law’s dog walking clients, so I’m comfortable handling different dogs, following schedules, and making sure pets get the attention and exercise they need. Whether your pet is playful, shy, energetic, or laid-back, I take the time to match their comfort level and routine. I’m patient, attentive, and detail-oriented, and I follow owner instructions closely. You can expect dependable service, a calm approach, and regular updates so you know your pet is doing well. What I offer: • Dog walking and drop-in visits • Feeding and fresh water checks • Playtime and companionship • Litter box and basic cleanup • Photo and message updates • Care tailored to your pet’s routine Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I’d love the chance to meet you and your furry family member! I work from home, which gives me flexibility and reliability when it comes to pet care. I’m available for walks and drop-in visits on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 9 AM to 2 PM. Because I work remotely, I’m able to plan my day around scheduled visits and give pets my full attention during that time. Pet sitting fits naturally into my routine, and I make it a priority to be on time, consistent, and attentive to each pet’s needs. I always focus on safety, routine, and comfort when caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s home. I follow all owner instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walk routines, medication needs, and behavior guidelines. I take time to learn each pet’s personality and comfort level so I can keep their stress as low as possible.

Additionally, she captured lots of great pictures of the pups, which was a delightful bonus for us. Her reliability and thoughtful care made a significant difference, and we highly recommend her services to anyone in need of a trustworthy and attentive dog sitter.”

You will enjoy that I will give your dog/dogs my full attention.I will give them tons of loving pets and hugs as well as play with them until they want to quit!

I can’t wait to meet your adorable furry friend in the near future and can’t wait to work with you! I’m currently a new mom who works part-time so my schedule is very clear! I am free for walks, boarding, and day care any day of the week :) My house has a big yard which makes it very easy for quick potty trips and play. In addition my neighborhood is nice and big with fun trails and parks nearby that I can take your furry friends to! I can crate your dogs if needed and they are also allowed on furniture if that’s what they are used to :)

Being with fur babies of the canine and feline variety would be fun. I can tailor my time to your needs. I can come to you so that your loved one does not need to be put in an environment they're not familiar with. Play time, cuddle time, walks, all no problem. I treat them as safely and lovingly as I do my own.

About: I've been a passionate animal caretaker most of my life. At a young age I began pet sitting for family, friends and neighbors. I raised several litters of bunnies, was the whelping helper for my Scottish Terrier twice, and rescued an African Grey Parrot 27 years ago. He is happily living with my Shih Tzu and Great Pyrenees. My husband and I have two adult college students, so our pets are extra spoiled these days! I'm currently an Elementary School Teacher, so I am available after 3pm during the weekdays. I am available and flexible on the weekends and during the summer. I would like to know your rules and procedures that are expected in your home, so I can provide that same care to keep your pets happy and safe.

About: Hi! I’m Bree, and I’ve always loved animals. I’m currently the proud owner of two cats, Dewey and Olive, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I know every pet has a unique personality. Some love to play, while others simply want a calm companion, and I’m happy to meet them where they are. I’ll send plenty of photo updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and safe. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family! I work remotely Monday through Friday, which allows me to offer morning, evening, and weekend visits, along with limited midday availability when my schedule permits. Whether your pet needs fresh food and water, playtime, or simply some company while you’re away, I’ll make sure they are well cared for! I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions so I can provide care that’s tailored to their needs. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, litter box or yard clean-up, or simply spending quality time together, I’ll treat your pet with the same care and attention I give my own.

About: I've worked at a kennel since I was 13, where I gained hands-on experience with boarding dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I've also worked with a rescue, so I'm comfortable handling nervous, high-energy, or special-needs dogs and helping them feel safe. In addition to that, I've consistently dog sat on the side for friends, family, and clients. I'm experienced with feeding routines, walks, cleaning, administering basic care, and making sure every dog gets the attention and comfort they need.

“Nancy has been amazing with my dogs!!! You can tell she is a true animal lover, because she cares about the details. She made last minute arrangements for us to meet and greet and adjustments to a few of our schedule stays, so she is also very willing to be as flexible as her schedule/life allows. Nancy sends photos and videos of my nuggets every stay. She has even checked in to see how my dog was doing with no upcoming/pending visit, so I know they are in genuinely loving hands under her care.”

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Avondale

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Avondale on Rover is $24.42 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 5,419 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Avondale. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Avondale stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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!

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Avondale with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.

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.
