“Dannie was flexible, kind, and easy to work with. He provided care under unique + high maintenance circumstances where he accommodated 1) the need for flexible timing and location while I traveled to town for work and 2) to care of my dog who requires constant vigilance to manage a subtle injury where inattention could result in immediate paralysis.”
“Sophie immediately put my dogs at ease. Not only did she make sure their basic needs were met, she made sure they were thriving. I was a little worried one of them was going to trade me in for her. 🤣 she was also fantastic at communicating with me through out her stay, sending a lot of pics and asking questions/sending status updates. Sophie will be my go-to pet sitter from here on out!”
About: I’ve been caring for my family’s pets since I was 6 years old, and my love for dogs has only grown from there. Over the years, I’ve become the trusted sitter for friends and family when they go out of town, work long days, or need an extra hand. I genuinely treat every pet like family — I even call my friends’ dogs my nieces and nephews. I’m patient, attentive, and loving, and I know how important it is to feel confident that your pet is safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. My schedule is currently very flexible since I’m no longer tied to a traditional 9–5. I have plenty of availability for dog walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting throughout the week. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and make sure they get the attention, care, and consistency they’re used to. I always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or stopping by for a walk or drop-in visit, I’ll make sure they feel secure, loved, and well cared for. I pay close attention to feeding instructions, leash safety, medications, house rules, and any special details that help your pet feel at ease. I’ll also keep you updated so you can feel confident while you’re away.
“Elyssa was incredible with our American Bulldog Gotti and our cat Mary Lou. She helped Gotti take his medicine, and sent us updates every day. We look forward to booking her again!”
“Aubrey was fantastic with my two dogs! They seemed to have a really good time with her during her stay. I will definitely be using her again in the future.”
“April was absolutely phenomenal. She did a meet and greet very last minute and when we went to the hospital to have our baby, she was very flexible to make sure our dogs got the around the clock care so that we could focus on our family. The dogs are OBSESSED with April!!! She gave so many wonderful photo and text updates. We can’t wait to have April back so soon!!!!”
“Melissa was incredible with my babies! I know we were only gone for a couple of days, but by the first night, Cleo had warmed up to her and even cuddled on her lap. Rocket got lots of snuggles and walks. And Max got just the right amount of attention. She sent lots of pictures and made sure she asked questions if she was unsure about something (a huge must in my book). She even left a stocking of goodies for Max and Cleo from her own babies. We will definitely hire her again...”
“I enjoyed Tiera looking after Diamond , She followed the minor instructions in caring for my Princess, She’s a wonderful sitter I know Diamond was pleased with her as well ….. Thank you so Much 😍”
“Short review: 20/10, Sarah is incredible! Long review: I can’t say enough good things about Sarah! We have a 10 year-old lab and a 5 month old great pyr mix puppy and so having Sarah staying in our home was so wonderful to keep my girls comfortable and together. My Lab got sick several times on my last day of vacation and Sarah kept me updated almost every hour, escalated it and called the vet line to get advice. I was out of the country and so far from home, so having Sarah raise concerns for me and care for my girls like they were her own was incredible. I knew she was in good hands and if there were an emergency, Sarah would’ve gotten my 80+ lb lab to the vet ASAP! Between my little one having accidents and my older one being sick, Sarah not only cleaned up after them every time but also cleaned blankets and towels that got dirty. This was not expected and she went above and beyond. She of course also sent lots of fun updates and cute pics, and also ended the visit with a video detailing the laundry / cleanliness of my house. Thank you so so so much Sarah for your kindness and care of my girls (and home)!!”
“Austin was an amazing dog sitter! He kept us up to date with pictures and summaries of his visit, came at the times he discussed with us, and our dogs loved him! It was great to have Austin keep our dogs happy on our trip, he helped so much! Thanks Austin!”
“Margaret was easy to communicate with. Our dog is very nervous and she treated him great to calm his nerves. Sent pictures and messages to reassure all was well.”
“Cassandra took great care of my pup and my home while I was away for almost two weeks. She was great at communicating with me and keeping me in the loop while I was away! Would definitely have her sit for us again”
“Chris showed our dog man a very nice time while we went away, and left our home cleaner than we left it ! We will definitely be sniffing the streets for his servicing the next time we have to leave town.”
“Krystol watched our puppies and house while we navigated a really difficult family health emergency. She was communicative and flexible and took amazing care of our pets and home. I’d recommend her to anyone!”
“Zubin was wonderful! She sent us lots of pictures and videos of our pets every day, took great care of the house, and was very responsive. We even came home to a gorgeous watercolor painting of our pets 😍 We’ll definitely use her again!”
“Madison was a wonderful pet and house sitter. When I came home, both of my pets exhibited signs of low anxiety. My home was cared for and tidy. Madison was a great communicator leading up to and during the stay. I would hire her again anytime.”
“Lindsey took such good care of our dogs and home. She sent lots of updates and photos and the house was pristine when we arrived home. Highly recommend and the dogs are looking forward to having her stay again!”
“Nicole is awesome! She was incredibly attentive to my dogs during her stay, and sent daily updates and pictures. She went above and beyond to make sure the dogs got plenty of attention, walks etc, and also made me feel extremely comfortable leaving them in her care for an extended period of time. I would absolutely use Nicole for future house /dog sitting, and would recommend her to anyone looking for a kind and reliable pet sitter who genuinely loves animals and taking care of them. Thank you so much!!”
“Erin was awesome! She accepted a somewhat last minute booking and we are so happy we chose her! She was super attentive and gave multiple updates throughout the day. Our house was so clean when we got home and she really put our mind at ease during our trip! Highly recommend and will be booking again!”

Kaitlyn was a fantastic sitter for our 2 yo pup. Our pup is hesitant around new people and Kaitlyn made her comfortable almost immediately. Very responsive and lots of updates throughout the week. She was also a great house guest, leaving the house in better shape than when we left. Highly recommend!!
Katie always goes above and beyond for our dog, Kya. She always gives Kya lots of playtime and exercise. She is great at communicating with us, she always sends us great photos of our girl and updates us on everything happening while we are gone. We know Kya is in the best hands with Katie!
We’ve had Aubrey house/dog sit for us twice now and both have been great! We have 2 silly doggies who can be a lot (the boxer in particular 😉) but they love Aubrey so much! We were able to relax on our trip knowing she was tending to our babies. The house was perfectly tidy and in order! Highly recommend Aubrey for your pet care needs!
Nicole went above and beyond watching our 2 cats and puppy while we were gone for a week! We will be working with her for all of our trips in the future! During her house stay, she followed all instructions perfectly, and went above and beyond with individualized report cards for each pet, ensuring the house was clean, and even doing laundry for the items she used!!
Abigail took great care of my dog and left my house just as clean as she found it. She stayed overnights at my house while we were away. She sent pictures and updates and helped alleviate a digestion issue with my pup by switching up the food. She also took her on several walks each day to wear her out. I’d definitely have her back!
Hannah was incredibly sweet, communicative, and wonderful to work with. I never once questioned whether my pup was in good hands while I was away, and that’s really all you can ask for. It was a relief knowing he was so well cared for. It’s obvious he absolutely loves her, and I’ll definitely be booking with her again :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Avondale on Rover is $55.5 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 2,492 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.
