“Julia was absolutely fantastic with Cody! She provided frequent updates and plenty of photos, which really put my mind at ease. Her communication is top-notch, and it’s clear she truly cares about the dogs she watches. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter. She is punctual, reliable, and loves animals. 10 stars”

“Bennett was phenomenal. We have 3 kittens and needed someone to stay over to watch them. Incredibly responsive, very communicative, and even more so thoughtful, we were impressed by Bennett. Very willing to send several photos a day, tell you any updates as needed, and provide you the kind of peace of mind any pet owner wants to be able to enjoy their vacation without stressing over if their pets are okay.”

About: I have lived with cats my whole life and have great attention to detail for them. I am also experienced with dogs of different ages and sizes. The most important thing to me is that your pet is happy and healthy. I am open to any opportunites, I have also taken care of chickens and rabbits. I also can take care of plants and maintain the house if you are away. I am currently not working so I am able to devote a lot of my attention to your beloved pets. I am very flexible and always try to communicate if there is an issue or I don't know something. I am always free on weekdays but I may have limited availability on the weekends. I always take care of the space I am in and try to leave it cleaner than I found it. And of course the pets are the main focus and the center of attention! I am very good at following written instructions and if I have any questions I will always ask.

About: Hi! I'm Jacqueline, and I'd love to help care for your pets as if they were my own. As a lifelong animal lover, I know how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your furry family members. I had the privilege of sharing 15 wonderful years with my dog, and today I'm the proud pet parent of a playful 5-year-old cat. I also regularly pet sit for close friends for years now, caring for both dogs and cats while they're away. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and happy while you're gone. Whether that means long walks, games of fetch, plenty of playtime, belly rubs, cuddles on the couch, or simply keeping them company, I'll tailor my care to your pet's personality and routine. I understand that every animal is different, and I enjoy getting to know what makes each one feel comfortable and loved. I'm dependable, attentive, and believe pets deserve more than just the basics; they deserve companionship, affection, and someone who truly enjoys being with them. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is in caring hands. I can't wait to meet you and your furry family member! I am available 7 days a week, daytime and evenings for quick drop-ins, extended hours, and overnight stays. As a cat and dog owner, I love caring for both types of pets! I am available to care for your pets in your home, whether that means a visit to care for them or staying in your home. My goal is to ensure the pet owner(s) and the pet(s) are comfortable and well taken care of.
“Elizabeth was great! Her main charge, Babycat was well cared for and didn't seem to notice that I was gone. It was comforting knowing Elizabeth was at the house in my absence as the Baby can get a bit stressed when alone for too long. She also took great care of all the plants inside and outside. I got near daily updates with cute photos. All great!”
“Lyric did a fantastic job! Kept watch over our fur babies and sent us updated pics throughout the house sitting. It was wonderful to have the peace of mind that they were well taken care of while we were away :)”

“Anna was amazing! She was very communicative and I know my dog received lots of love while we were gone! I didn’t worry about him at all, and she took great care of our home too. I would absolutely recommend Anna for dog sitting!”

“Savannah is an absolute gem! She recently took care of our 3 pups and our home while we spent a week at the beach, and she went above and beyond! She made sure we were updated on how the pups were doing and actively looked for ways to help us around our home to make our return so much easier. Our pups were so happy when we came home, we could tell they received so much TLC. Highly recommend!”

“Kiara did an excellent job taking care of our large pack (3 pups & a kitty cat). She sent pictures of the gang cuddling each day. Took the pups for a walk. Everyone seemed very relaxed when we got back. She kept the house in excellent condition. Will absolutely call her again.”


“My dogs were extremely happy and relaxed when I came back home after being in Bri’s care. She took incredible care of them and my apartment was immaculate. She is professional, trustworthy, and interested in learning about your pets to best caew for them and accommodate their routines as much as possible. Highly, highly recommend booking with her.”

“Grace was great with all of her communications and took excellent care of Ozzie while we were out of town. I will definitely use Grace again and highly recommend her to anyone in need of her services. Thank you again Grace for all of your time and efforts.”

About: Hi, I'm Soraya. I love dogs, and treat every pup that stays with me like my own. I live in a cozy, comfortable apartment that's set up for dogs to actually relax in, not just pass through. I am home almost all day, so your dog is never left alone wondering where everybody went. They get attention, company, and someone to nap next to. You'll get photo updates every single day. I know how it feels to drop your dog off and spend the whole time wondering how they're doing, so I don't make you ask. I am fluent in Spanish, so Spanish-speaking owners can message me in whichever language feels easier. Whether your dog is a cuddler, a talker, or just needs someone patient, I’ve got them. I work from home! So I will be with your dog all day. I start with a morning walk, then your fur baby and I will spend the day together, usually out on the patio getting some sun and some love. Afternoon walk, evening walk, and lots of attention in between. Your dog is never sitting alone waiting for someone to come home. Whatever routine and rules you have for your dog, I follow them exactly. Feeding schedule, crate or no crate, treats, off-limits spots, I uphold every one of them. In my home, love and safety come first. My apartment is calm and comfortable, I am always here, and I keep a close eye on your pup the whole stay. You’ll get daily photos so you always know your dog is being loved and taken care of.
About: I got my first dog at the age of 5 and my love for pets only grew from there. I've worked as a volunteer at a rescue as well as a professional Kennel Technician. I'm the person who answers "both" to the question "are you a dog or a cat person?" Unlike apartment complexes, I don't have any breed restrictions. In fact, I adore bully breeds and rescued my own pit mix. I'm also experienced with both puppies and kittens so I have no age restrictions either. I would be happy to set up a meet & greet prior to a booking. Please let me know if you have any questions and I'd be happy to answer them! I have open availability at the moment so I can spend as much time as you want with your pets and would love an excuse to leave my apartment. I am comfortable with every type of harness and leash and can crate your pet if necessary. I understand that all pets have boundaries and will respect those boundaries as I learn them. Your pet's trust is very important to me and I will work hard to earn it. I'm more than happy to set up a meet & greet to introduce myself to them.
“Sahriya is our go to sitter and we’re so grateful to have her! She has open, honest communication and fit us into her schedule when we had to do a last minute request due to work commitments. I can also tell my princess loves to be around her and feels at ease when she’s watching her while we’re at work!”

“Sahara was wonderful! Our previous sitter cancelled last minute, and Sahara made herself available to watch our 3 dogs 5 days before we left for vacation! I always have some anxiety about leaving my pups for vacation, but Sahara made me feel comfortable that they were in great hands. She sent videos and photos daily, and kept me updated on how she was taking care of them. We will gladly use Sahara again and are so grateful for her!”

“Beck took excellent care of Ranger and sent consistent updates. She was an amazing houseguest and left the place spotless upon our return, even washing the sheets and making sure the kitchen was spotless. Ranger was well cared for and she did a great job managing his high energy and needs. We would definitely use Beck again for a future trip. Thanks!”

“Dan was extremely affectionate with our Ruth and very conscientious about her food & exercise schedule. She was very comfortable with Dan and so were we! Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!”

Caitlin was above and beyond an amazing sitter for my boy Prawn! She stepped in on short notice when I had to leave for a family emergency and took great care of him. I'll definitely be reaching out to her again for future visits and I can see Prawn really enjoyed her company as well!

Shannon is INCREDIBLE. She was quick to respond to a last minute request to watch my pups for the weekend and scheduled a meet and greet within the next two days. She was kind, responsible and clearly LOVES dogs. She made me feel comfortable enough to have her watch my pup post-surgery because I knew he’d be in good hands. I will definitely be booking with her again! THANK YOU

Kiara did an excellent job taking care of our large pack (3 pups & a kitty cat). She sent pictures of the gang cuddling each day. Took the pups for a walk. Everyone seemed very relaxed when we got back. She kept the house in excellent condition. Will absolutely call her again.

Hannah is amazing! She is very communicative and put all of our crew at easy. She sends plenty of updates and pictures of our doofuses chilling and playing and even some funny face candids. Would 100% recommend for dogs AND cats...because we have plenty of both and she takes good care of them.

Micah was very responsive and patient. We have two dogs, one with Addison's Disease, and it requires daily critical medication. Not to mention anxious when we are gone. Micah was so patient and had a good sense of humor, which is so helpful. Already booked Micah again!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Avondale Estates is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $61 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 4,704 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Avondale Estates. 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 Estates 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 Estates 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 Estates 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.
