Kathleen was very kind and patient with our reactive dog. She was honest with how our dog reacted to her and made sure not to push her so she didn't make her uncomfortable. We would highly recommend Kathleen.

Julia was absolutely amazing! She was right on time, very flexible, super sweet, and treated my puppy, Fern, like her own! She and Fern became fast friends, and Fern was very sad to see Julia go. I’ll be booking with Julia again, no question about that!

As expected, Cassie was amazing. Even when Dante changed his mind and decided he did NOT want a visit & he'd rather be scary & overprotective, Cassie didn't bail on him, but rather talked him down and helped him calm down. She quite literally saved our weekend, and let us know every detail so that we can work on it going forward. We'll definitely be reaching out to her again!

Took good care of my baby boy while I had to be away, and he was immediately very comfortable with them, which made me feel good and less anxious about having to leave him home. I’ll definitely use Jenni’s services again in the future.

About: I am a very active and energetic person and love seeing the joy in all dogs. I have a 4 year old rescue who is also very energetic! She keeps me on my feet! Dogs love me because I love giving them attention all the time, I like to spoil them because that is what all dogs deserve! I am a great multitasker so I can give your dogs all the attention they need. I treat all dogs as if they are my family. I am currently working part time at UD and I work from home, so I will have plenty time for your pets! Also dogs make me the happiest! The way I care for pets is showing them lots of attention when they want it. I play with them physically and mentally. I have simple games that can stimulate your dogs mind.

Faith was an exceptional dog sitter who exceeded all expectations. She was punctual every day, ensuring that our pups received consistent care and attention. Faith dedicated 30 minutes each day to sit with the dogs while they did their business, showing her commitment to their well-being. 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.

Alaina did a superb job with my cat. As a shy guy, he liked her instantly which put me at ease as I went out of town. She was thorough in taking care of the everyday necessities, responsive, and provided adorable photos and updates. Glad my buddy has a new friend! Highly recommend Alaina for your pet.

Mason was exceptional. She allowed me to book her literally last minute and said she could visit the pups without me home (emergency work trip). She was prompt and took great care of my pups, asking me any questions she had to best care for them. She sent me plenty of pics and the pups loved her!

Greg did a great job with Jack! He stopped by before his bookings for 2 meet and greets to make sure Jack was comfortable. He went above and beyond with the walks, hangouts and training. We’re excited to book Greg again and we know Jack is too.

Wonderful pet sitter. I didn’t know much about this app and kind of waited til the last minute. But Jordan was able to help me out. I got reports every day, pictures and a genuine rundown. Even though my cats don’t need much, this was huge for me because I haven’t really left them for long since moving to the area. This app and Jordan were a lifesaver

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Avondale on Rover is $24.42 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 5,403 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
  • 95% 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.
