“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.”
“My fur babies love Sophie! She was very communicative from the very beginning and we did not worry about our fur babies at all while we were away. We loved all the updates and seeing how happy they were! We also came home to a clean house and happy watered plants! I hope Sophie is available for all our trips! :)”
“Five stars! Allison is wonderful! We are so happy we found her. She is great at communicating with us and takes great care of our dogs. She's also been really flexible with last minute changes. A++++!”
“April was absolutely wonderful, and we would happily book with her again. Communication was excellent from start to finish, and she was reliable, professional, and easy to work with. What impressed us most was how quickly she built a connection with Lou. It was clear that she genuinely cares about dogs and made Lou feel comfortable right away. We felt completely confident leaving Lou in her care and would highly recommend April to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter. We would not hesitate to book with her again!”
“Aubrey is always respectful of our home and takes great care of our dog while we’re out of town!! Great communication and daily updates with pictures. Goes above and beyond. Thanks again Aubrey!!!”
“Jericho was great! She sent updates and photos regularly. My sweet boy was happy and relaxed when I returned home and the house as left in good shape. Will book again!”
“Sarah went above and beyond sitting for our babies. She ensured they were safe by setting up a new crate that unfortunately came in after we had already left. She communicated well and took good care of our home. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!”
“Elyssa is absolutely a fantastic sitter. She watched our golden retriever for the weekend while we were out of town. It was our first time leaving him post moving which always makes me nervous. Elyssa, though, was fantastic. At first contact, she set up a meet and greet to come meet us and Triton to make sure we were a good fit (which I appreciated a ton). It always makes me feel better meeting the person who will be taking care of my fur baby. She is great at communication and responds quickly with any updates. Triton got so much love and pets while we were gone and we were able to not worry of him while being gone. I’m really grateful for how well he was taken care of and the peace of mind we had leaving him in Elyssa’s hands!”
“Fernando was an excellent dog sitter! He kept us updated the whole time and was incredibly communicative, which gave us great peace of mind. We’d definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable sitter!”
“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.”
“I needed a last minute dog sitter and took a chance on Seth. He exceeded all expectations! He took great care of my dog, respected my house, was easy to communicate with, and frequently sent updates. I would recommend Seth and use his services again!”
“Zubin was so sweet and accommodating to a very last minute request! She took great care of my baby boy and I’m so grateful for her patience to sit with him and care for him while I was away! Would highly recommend and book again in the future 🥰”
“Cashmere was a great fit for my big dog and our family. She came by ahead of time to meet our pup and get comfortable with his routine and her surroundings which was great. I received pictures and updates throughout our trip and she did a good job of pivoting in the crazy heat to play more n the backyard vs take him on longer walks which I appreciated. I would definitely recommend her without hesitation.”
“Lizzie is absolutely incredible and we cannot wait to use her in the future! She treats your pups like her own. We also have a very nervous girl who usually does not let anyone but us touch her, but in less than 2 days she was asking Lizzie for pets!! Our flight got delayed 4 hours and Lizzie went above and beyond and stayed even later than we had scheduled. She gave incredible updates with videos of our pups and was an absolute joy to talk to! Highly highly recommend! Thank you so much for truly treating our dogs like your own and for all of your patience and extra kindness, Lizzie!!”
“Austin was great with Mara! He sent detailed updates and great photos. She also had an ear infection and he was on top of giving her meds as well. Will definitely use him again.”
“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!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Avondale
Kait has been taking care of our dog in our home for almost 1 year when we go away. We truly could not ask for anyone better. She keeps us updated with photos throughout every trip, which gives us such peace of mind. It’s so clear that our dog has such a strong bond with her! We know he is in the best hands when we’re away.
Riley and Victoria have been an absolute gem to have. They are so quick to respond, and communicate throughout their services. I know I can trust them with my fur babies, and I know they always look forward to walks or stays with them. They are trustworthy and so great at what they do!
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!

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.

- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
