“Dannie was fantastic. Dannie sent pictures and updates and when I arrived home my big boy Chuck was happy and relaxed, showing he was well taken care of. I will be booking again. Thank you, Dannie!”
“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!”
“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!”
About: Hi! I’m a dog mom who takes pet care seriously and understands that every pet has unique needs. I have hands-on experience caring for my own dog, including daily walks, enrichment, supplements, medications, special feeding routines, and monitoring changes in behavior or health. I’m especially knowledgeable about caring for small dogs and pets with mobility concerns. Through caring for my own dog, I’ve learned the importance of preventative care, safe exercise, elevated feeding setups when appropriate, joint health support, and following veterinarian recommendations closely. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, whether that means preparing bone broth toppers, adding supplements, maintaining medication schedules, monitoring food intake, or sticking to a specific routine. I know that small details matter when it comes to keeping pets happy, healthy, and comfortable. Communication is important to me, so I’ll keep you updated with photos and notes while you’re away. My goal is simple: to provide the same level of care, attention, and peace of mind that I’d want for my own dog. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, a senior who needs a little extra support, or somewhere in between, they’ll be treated like family. I’m currently searching for full-time work opportunities, so I and have daily availability to spend great outdoors time with your pup at any time of day. Safety comes first in everything I do. I carefully follow feeding routines, medication schedules, supplement instructions, exercise restrictions, and any veterinarian recommendations provided by owners. I’m especially attentive to pets with mobility concerns, senior pets, or pets with special routines. I pay close attention to behavior, appetite, hydration, and overall well-being and will communicate regularly so you can feel confident your pet is happy, safe, and cared for while you’re away.
“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!”
“Alexis was great with the dogs and the house! She sent plenty of pictures, played with the dogs and kept me updated every step of the way. Will definitely use her again!”
“Christopher was an amazing sitter for my dog. Very attentive, kept me updated, and kept the place super clean. My dog was still adjusting to his new routine and he kept it up, and kept me updated throughout the stay. Would definitely book him again! Thank you again so much! :)”
“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!”
“Eric is first and foremost a very kind person. He is obviously a pet lover, and our dog Daisy enjoys being the beneficiary of his attention. In fact,this morning she was looking for him, and I had to convince her to eat her breakfast! Eric is also great at staying in touch. I never have to wonder how things are going as there are photos and notes to reassure me. I guess I am a helicopter pet mom, so this is great. If I had to go on an extended trip and leave my pup, Eric would be my first and perhaps only choice. If you want to travel with confidence, look no further.”
“Elyssa stayed with our dog Elle for five nights in our home. We got frequent updates and came home to a happy pup and a clean house. Elyssa was very responsive and it was a great experience for us. Highly recommend - thanks Elyssa!”
“Allison was punctual and very understanding about a last minute sitting request. She made sure to stop by and meet my pup beforehand, communicated well, and gave updates throughout the day. Highly recommend!”
“I am a very anxious dog mom, yet I am never anxious when Lizzie is watching Jojo and Wally! Jojo is a very picky and anxious girl and she loves Lizzie! Both pups are extremely at ease with her and she gives them so much love and attention. We are truly grateful for the peace of mind we have when Lizzie watches our pups. Thank you, Lizzie!”
“If you are looking for peace of mind and someone that will care for your pup as you would then look no further. Aubry was fantastic and really made me feel comfortable! She was in contact with me daily and also sent me pictures. I had never left Spike with anyone so I was a bit nervous, but she took away any anxiety that I had about leaving him for a few days. Spike loved her and he was truly cared for by her. She also came highly recommended by apartment management as well! I will definitely be using her again and I recommend her highly!!!”
“Zubin took excellent care of my senior pup and was incredibly attentive to his needs and routine. I had complete peace of mind knowing he was in such capable and compassionate hands. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable, thoughtful care.”
“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!!”
“Sydney was so accommodating when I needed a last minute sitter. She provided updates and was super sweet to my little guy. Look forward to using her again in the future :)”
“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...”
“Marge was amazing! She house sat and pup sat my little Rosco - who I have not left since I adopted him. She was great with communication and I never once worried that he wasn't being loved on or taken care of. Would definitely book with her again!!”
“Lindsey did an amazing job taking care of our three pups! They have a lot of medications and instructions and Lindsey did an awesome job handling all of that! I would definitely recommend her to any of my friends or family!”

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.
Jericho took excellent care of our two dogs and gave us regularly updates on how they were doing. She also kept our plants alive and maintained our house while we were out of town. She is very kind and I will definitely be booking with her again to watch our dogs.
Grayson is such an amazing dog sitter for our pups! We have booked her 3 times. We truly trusted that they were in great hands and being loved and cared for everyday! She sends lots of updates which is SO appreciated and my dog was so happy to see her again! Will definitely book with her again in the future!
Lia & Jacob were super communicative and took great care of our pups. We were really nervous about leaving them for an extended weekend but they were so kind in answering any and all questions that we had. We’re extremely grateful that our dogs and our home were taken care of like they were their own.
I had a fantastic experience with Dannie when I needed help with daytime animal care for my cat and dog. Dannie was responsive, easy to communicate with, sent periodic updates throughout the day and left the house in great shape - couldn’t ask for more. Looking forward to working together again!
Joey watched Doug and Harley for 16 days and did an awesome job. Both boys loved him right away. Communication the whole time was great, always kept me in the loop. What really stood out was when Doug seemed hurt, Joey noticed quick and let me know right away instead of waiting. That's exactly the kind of person you want watching your dogs. Would 100% hire him again.
We cannot recommend Riley and Victoria enough! They watched our two dogs for an entire week, and from the moment we left, we knew our babies were in the best hands. They checked in frequently with updates, photos, and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It’s clear how much they genuinely care for animals, and our dogs were happy, comfortable, and loved the entire time. Coming home, we were amazed to find the house absolutely spotless, everything was clean, organized, and exactly as we left it (if not better!). Finding people you can fully trust with your pets is rare, and we can honestly say we wouldn’t trust our babies with anyone else. Riley and Victoria went above and beyond, and we are so grateful for the incredible care they provided.

FAQs for House Sitting - Avondale
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Avondale on Rover is $61.05 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 2,511 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.
