“Dannie was absolutely wonderful with Drago and took great care of my home while I was away. His communication was excellent throughout the week, and I felt completely at ease knowing Drago was in such good hands. I would absolutely recommend Dannie and will definitely use him again!”
“Krystal took such care with my pup! I was a first time Rover user and Krystal was great and sending photos to ease my mind and keeping up with my many specific instructions for feedings, walks, playtime, etc. She left my house and dog in great shape while I was gone and that made me a happy camper!”
“Elizabeth was reliable and my baby loved her! She took good care of my home and Kitty for 10 days and went above and beyond to make sure I had a clean home to come home too as well as communicate while I was away! Strongly recommend.”
“Lindsey has been extremely accommodating with my crazy schedule. She is a kind, amicable pet sitter who I recommend. She took care of my 3 dogs and 2 cats effortlessly, and I promise they are quirky and come with a list of duties. She left the house spotless, and even moved in furniture boxes!! Have already rebooked.”
“Rachel was just what we were looking for—genuinely into our adorable pets. She was communicative and took great care of our animals. She kept us updated while we were out of town with notes and pictures. We will definitely be asking her to pet sit again!”
“Carrie’s great. She kept me updated via pictures and Cleo looked comfortable with her. She also indulged this first timer with a million questions. 10/10 no notes.”
“Ashley was great!! Very communicative throughout the entire week that we were gone. Sent lots of pictures/updates to keep our minds at ease that our fuzzy guy was well taken care of. Even left the house in better shape than it was when we left. Thank you so much!!”
“Jabe was wonderful. Sent enough updates that I never worried about my best buddy, and came home to a happy dog and a clean house. Hope to book for my next trip as well! Thank you, Jabe!”
“BEST SITTER EVER! I truly cannot recommend Sarah enough. We adopted our dog 2 years ago and she struggles with separation anxiety, reactivity, and just nervousness in general. Sarah was the PERFECT temperament for Ruthie - so warm, gentle, and let Ruthie come to her. Sarah kept us updated multiple times throughout the day with photos, administered Ruthie's daily meds with care, and even sent us a video of the house before she left. I felt SO at peace know Ruthie was in such good hands with Sarah. BOOK HER!”
“Sarah was super friendly and responsive! She sent updates with photos and my animals were clearly happy and well taken care of when I returned from my trip. She also was very respectful of my space and left it spotless! I would definitely trust her to take care of my animals again”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“It was so great having Abrey watch Layla for a few days. She was very communicative and shared photo updates the whole time. She treated my house like her own and I came back to a very clean and tidy house. Would recommend her for anyone and look forward to having Abrey stay here again”
“Amazing!! She took very good care of my girls and they are a handful lol!! Great communication with calls/texts/videos. I was able to relax on my trip knowing my place and babies were cared for 🥰.”
“Joe was the best Dogsitter I have ever had. He was extremely accommodating. Not only did he respond immediately to my short notice request but he even took time during his lunch break to meet my dog. Furthermore he was flexible with coming back for nearly the whole next day! You can tell he genuinely loves animals and it’s why he’s more affordable than everyone else on rover.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Avondale
Rachel was such a great sitter for our home and our pups! She was able to help us out on very short notice. Our pups were loved on so well, our home was left in even better shape than when she arrived, she was very communicative and shared lots of photos with throughout her time with our girls. Highly recommend her and we would definitely book with her again!
Krystol was just wonderful. She took such great care of Pippa - taking her to the park, getting pup cups, 900 rounds of fetch. I felt so comfortable knowing she was at my home while I was away. I also unexpectedly had a plumbing issue while I was away and she dealt with it no problem.
We’ve used Sophie several times to watch our boy while we’re out of town. She takes excellent care of him and always keeps us updated on how he’s doing while we’re gone. We never have to worry about a thing. We highly recommend her for any of your pet’s needs!
I’m so impressed with Riley & Victoria. They were very communicative and sent lots of updates. They were amazing on a stormy weekend with my very anxious dog and made sure she was comfortable. The house was left in perfect condition. I will definitely be using them again!
Melissa took great care of pups cuddling and loving on them. Our pups have medicine and are picky eaters so feeding can be a chore. Melissa took care of all of that and more. Dixie is shy and has high anxiety and Melissa C. Won her heart immediately. She communicated with me regularly and sent pictures of the pups! We have booked Melissa C. already for our next trip. We can rest assured knowing our pups are taken care of. Thank you!

The average cost of House Sitting in Avondale is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $83 per night.

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 , 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 .
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 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
