“Dannie was beyond exceptional. They made me and my dog feel well taken care of. It was my first time leaving Penny alone for the weekend and she may have had more fun with Dannie than she does with me. Will 💯 book with them again! Thank you Dannie!”
“Allison was wonderful. She treated our home and Berner like her own. Sookie was a happy pup and the house was in perfect condition when we returned. Will gladly have Allison house/dog sit again!”
“We were on vacation in Nashville needing a sitter and not knowing anyone in the area made it difficult until I found the Rover App. I was able to do a video chat with Stephanie, which made me feel comfortable with hiring her. She is very pleasant and easy to deal with and to talk with. If we are ever in Nashville again, I would definitely hire Stephanie again.”
“My dogs were well cared for with Sophie while we were away, as was my apartment! Sophie cleaned up after her stay and even put our grocery delivery away for us which we did not ask her to do. My dogs had a wonderful time, thank you Sophie!”
“This was our first time using Rover, and we were honestly really nervous about leaving our two babies for the weekend. Aubrey completely exceeded our expectations from the very beginning. She met with us ahead of time for a meet-and-greet with Tate and Topher and took the time to carefully go through all of our care instructions, which immediately made us feel comfortable. While we were away, she sent frequent updates with pictures and videos, which meant so much to us and really kept our minds at ease. It was clear Tate and Topher were having the best time! They looked so happy, getting lots of walks, playtime, and opportunities to run around throughout the day. Aubrey treated them like her own, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We couldn’t recommend her enough to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. We will absolutely be reaching out to her again for our next trip. Thank you so much, Aubrey!”
“William did a great job caring for our kitties while we were away for one week. He kept in touch with us and best of all, he house was spotless when we returned, just as we left it. We will definitely book him again.”
“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!”
“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!”
“one of my best Rover experiences of all time! Melodie was absolutely incredible. she was so kind, communicative, and took the best care of my pets! She went above and beyond and made sure they had the best weekend! She gave me such peace of mind while I traveled. would 100% use her again and recommend her to my friends and family!”
“I can’t say enough wonderful things about April. Our dog, Kenzie, and cat, Sukha have absolutely fallen in love with her. I have no doubt she treats them like they are her own while we were out of town. On top of taking great care of them, she is the ideal house guest. She always leaves the house in perfect condition. She is always very responsive, sends updates daily, and has gone above and beyond on more than one occasion to help with things around the house, accommodate last minute changes, etc. We completely trust April with our fur babies and our home.”
About: With ten years of pet care and sitting experience, I’ve always had a genuine love for animals and have experience caring for cats and dogs of different personalities, ages, and energy levels. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m comfortable with feeding, playtime, walks, keeping pets on their normal routines, and giving them plenty of love and attention. I work from home and have a lot of open availability to be able to provide the care and attention needed when looking after animals! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get regular walks or playtime, and receive plenty of attention and comfort. I keep their environment clean, safe, and calm, and I always respect any specific instructions you provide.
“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.”
“Elyssa did an amazing job with my fur babies. My dog even needed to go to the vet while I was gone, and she worked with me to get her seen and cared for asap. I'll definitely rebook her whenever I travel and would recommend her!”
“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.”
“Highly recommend Cassandra! We were out of the country and had no worries at all! She took great care of our babies with regular updates & photos, made our hearts so happy to be so at peace knowing they were well loved while we were away! Great with communication and making arrangements, this was our first time using this app& it was just so easy and care free! They are our babies so it means the world to us to know that they were in the best care while we were gone :)”
“This was our first time using Rover and it was such a great experience! Krystol was communicative and sent us updated and photos. Our girl is very scared of thunderstorms and Krystol was there to comfort her while we were gone! So thankful for such a sweet sitter. We will definitely be using her again.”

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!!
Rachel was a dream! We had a last minute emergency and she was able to watch Tobey on short notice. He loved her and they had the best time together. She gave us constant updates and we knew Tobey and the house were well cared for. I would recommend Rachel to absolutely anyone. She is amazing!
Meredith is our go-to dog sitter for our boys for a reason! She is always on time, great communicator and truly cares for your fur baby as if they were her own, including even letting our youngest one cuddle nightly with her. Not only does she take fantastic care of your dogs, but is also a great guest in your home and leaves it even cleaner than when you left! While we were abroad, we had an unfortunate experience of a flight delay resulting in an additional overnight stay and Meredith had no issues staying an extra night on such short notice, which was a HUGE relief. We highly recommend her for any of your pet sitting needs!
I can’t say enough wonderful things about April. Our dog, Kenzie, and cat, Sukha have absolutely fallen in love with her. I have no doubt she treats them like they are her own while we were out of town. On top of taking great care of them, she is the ideal house guest. She always leaves the house in perfect condition. She is always very responsive, sends updates daily, and has gone above and beyond on more than one occasion to help with things around the house, accommodate last minute changes, etc. We completely trust April with our fur babies and our home.
Sydney was amazing! She house sat out 3 year old dog and 6 year old cat over a long weekend. Sydney had an amazing communication and was always keeping us up to date with what was going on with our pets. She also left our house spotless and went above and beyond with keeping our house clean and with the care of our animals. 10000% recommend!
Sayje was fantastic with our two senior dogs and took excellent care of our home while we were away. She kept us updated every day with great communication and photos, which gave us total peace of mind. We highly recommend Sayje to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive pet sitter!
Alvn stayed at my house to watch my dog Jelly for a week while I was out of town and was wonderful! I received regular updates and Jelly clearly was having a great time in all of them. Alvn left my house clean and everything was well cared for when I came home. No issues at all and I would definitely rebook with Alvn next time I need a sitter.

FAQs for House Sitting - Avondale
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Avondale on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 2,483 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.
