“Mary was AMAZING with our three dogs while we were away at Disneyland! Having three dogs with different personalities and routines can be a lot, but she handled all of them beautifully. We came home to three happy, relaxed pups and a house exactly as we left it—which is pretty much the highest compliment I can give a pet sitter. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly genuinely cared about our dogs. I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in her hands, and being able to enjoy our trip without worrying about what was happening at home was priceless. We will 100% be asking Mary to watch our little zoo again. Highly recommend her—although selfishly, I’d also like everyone to leave some availability for us. 😂❤️🐾”
About: I am passionate about animals and I am working towards a degree in Bio-sciences with a goal of becoming a veterinarian ultimately. I have been caring for animals since I was 8. I am comfortable with all temperaments, and animals. I'm a online student at ASU so I'll have plenty of time to care for your animals. I'm available at all times and days with appropriate notice. I have a fenced yard and 1 dog friendly dog at this time. I would prefer to offer services directly to my clients home where possible other arrangements should be discussed in advance.
About: I’ve had a love for animals for as long as I can remember and have over 15 years of experience caring for pets. I’ve grown up around animals and have experience caring for both dogs and cats, including feeding, walking, bathing, playtime, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I have pets of my own, so I understand that they’re not just animals; they’re family! I’m comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. Whether your pet loves going on walks, playing, getting cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention and care. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I will treat yours with the same patience, kindness, and love that I give my own. I work throughout the week until 4:30, so I am available for weekends and nightly pop-ins to help care for and cuddle your fur family. Your pet’s safety and happiness will always be my priority. I understand how important it is to trust someone with a member of your family, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, daily routine, likes, dislikes, and any special instructions their owners provide. I believe in providing a calm, safe, and loving environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure. I am attentive to their surroundings, keep a close eye on them during walks and playtime, and always make sure they have access to fresh water and everything they need. I respect each owner’s rules and preferences and will keep you updated with messages and pictures so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Whether your pet needs extra playtime, patience, cuddles, or a little space to themselves, I’ll make sure their needs come first. Your pets will be treated with the same love, care, and attention I give my own!
“Kaitlyn is AMAZING! She is attentive, follows care directions to a T, and sends pictures/updates often. She was very respectful of our home and went above and beyond to go back to our house very late at night when our flight got canclled. She made sure our girl was not left alone and made every effort to make sure we were not left in a bind since we could not get home as planned. I will use her as often as she is avaliable and reccommend her to everyone- accept the weekends I need her of course!! :)”
“Robert was the perfect choice for me. I needed to go to the emergency room, and I had a friend who took Bernie for 1 day. I put in my request and Robert responded immediately. Since I was in the ER he met with my friend, and she gave him all of Bernie's needs. After meeting with Robert, she said that she liked him so much that she would not hesitate to use him for her 2 cream goldens. Robert made 2 great impressions on one stop. I would use him every chance I get. He did light housework and sent pics of Bernie and made sure Bernie was a happy boy. Thank you Robert.”
About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and have grown up surrounded by pets. I’ve had dogs and other animals of my own, and caring for animals has always been something I genuinely enjoy. I currently volunteer regularly at local animal shelters, including the Arizona Humane Society, where I get to spend time caring for and supporting animals in need. I also have previous dog-sitting experience from high school and am excited to get back into it! While I’m unable to have a dog of my own right now because of school, dog sitting gives me the opportunity to spend time with the animals I love. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own, with patience, attention, affection, and plenty of love. 🐾❤️ I work full-time Monday through Friday from 8 AM–4PM. I can watch your fur baby during the week if you are okay with them being alone during that time. For dog sitting, I’m available after work on weekdays and can do overnight stays. I do typically like to hit the gym after work but will change my schedule accordingly for you. Weekends are where I have the most flexibility and I’m fully available to give your pets plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles. 🐾❤️ I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and will always do my best to provide reliable, consistent care! When caring for pets in your home, I have a consistent routine that can easily be adjusted to fit your pet’s normal schedule and needs. I naturally wake up around 7 AM and start my day with a morning walk or run, which I’d be happy to include your pup in! Since I live in Arizona, I’m mindful of the heat and will plan outdoor activities for earlier in the morning or cooler times of the day to keep your pet safe and comfortable. Throughout the day, I’ll set aside dedicated time for play, attention, and enrichment. I also enjoy incorporating simple training exercises into playtime when appropriate, especially if your pet enjoys learning and mental stimulation. I do set aside about an hour and a half each day for the gym, so there will be a short period when I’m away. Outside of that, my schedule is very flexible, and I’m happy to adjust my routine around your pet’s feeding, walking, medication, bathroom, and rest schedule. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable, cared for, and right at home while you’re away. 🐾❤️
“Kaitlynn is the absolute best. She is so kind, professional, knowledgeable, and considerate. We are lucky and grateful to have her as a partner in caring for our dog, she is just wonderful!”
“We hired Maya for a house/pet sit for our two dogs and two cats. She was very communicative during her stay, giving us daily updates. She kept the house clean and tidy and kept our animals happy and fed!”
About: I’ve always loved animals and enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I’m patient, attentive, and responsible, and I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of care, attention, playtime, and affection. I’m comfortable following specific routines and instructions from pet parents and want every animal to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits well into my routine because I have a flexible schedule and enjoy spending time with animals. I’m able to give pets dedicated attention throughout the day, including walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship. I’m happy to work with each pet’s normal routine and make sure they receive consistent care while their family is away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications if applicable, routines, and anything else your pet needs. I’ll keep a close eye on them, provide a calm and comfortable environment, and communicate with you about how they’re doing. I want pet parents to feel confident that their pets are being treated like family while they’re away
About: I have been petsitting since I was 10 and have been volunteering at pima animal care center for 5 years. I am currently a veterinary student at the University of Arizona and am very experienced in animal care. I have pet sat all types of animals including dogs, cats, bunnies, parrots, and reptiles. I am also a private groomer for all sizes dogs. I am an online college student and I work part-time in the afternoons so I am able to care for pets morning and night without a problem. I have a very large backyard that is completely fenced and 2 dogs that are very sociable and kind. My sofas are open to any pet.
“What can I say about Bentley other than she was very punctual while taking exceptional care of my animals. She is a great communicator with pictures sent everyday. She really eased my mind about leaving my animal for a week. I would recommend her and use her again.”
About: Providing expert, high-level care for pets with complex needs. Whether your companion is senior, disabled, exotic, requires daily medication, or needs cautious handling for behavioral traits, I offer safe, knowledgeable, and dedicated care. A pet fits smoothly into my weekly schedule. Although I work 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, I wake up early for morning routines and am fully free after 5:00 PM for evening care. My job is extremely flexible if an animal ever needs mid-day attention. Weekends are ideal, as I have full availability to provide attentive care all day and night. When pets enter an unfamiliar setting, I give them a quiet room to adjust at their own pace, maintaining their normal routine with periodic check-ins until they feel safe. In their home, I stick strictly to their schedule and give them space to relax. Every animal is different, so whether a pet is cuddly or standoffish, I respect their boundaries and offer love on their terms while keeping you updated on feeding, outside time, and behavior.
“I had the pleasure of booking Adonis. He changed my perspective, I primarily booked women to sit for me, thinking they would be a better fit. Adonis has been the BEST sitter I’ve had to date! Very respectful. He cleaned up, & took great care of all three of my babies. This was my first time being away from my 4 month old Toy Schnauzer and I felt very comfortable. I didn’t worry one bit! He sent photos and kept me updated if he left them. He went above and beyond! I would love to keep him as their sitter! If I could give him 10 ⭐️ I would!”
About: I’ve taken care of pets within the family and they always love coming over. Pets are like family in my home. Taking them out for walks or keeping them active I believe is crucial for every pup. Their safety is my priority and making sure they feel comfortable at my home. I’m currently a stay at home mom and I’m always looking out for my dog when I’m home and playing with or taking her for afternoon walks. My schedule is currently mostly open and flexible! I have a fenced backyard and one pug who loves to play. Summer(my dog) will want to play with your pup but, if she notices the dog isn’t interested she will back up and do her own thing. My neighborhood is really safe area and there isn’t much traffic. I do have an extra crate where your pup can nap.
About: I have cared for dogs at all ages, from puppies to elders. I understand the importance of maintaining schedule/routine for the animal and making them as comfortable as possible. I am a student and attend school and clinical shifts but when I am not there, I am studying! I am not gone for very long on school days (M&Tue) and my clinical shifts are 8.5 hours (W&Thur). Other than that I am able to fully care and be available for pets! I prefer caring for pets in their home to make them more comfortable, I have pets myself and I always try to do that for them! I understand when their parents are away, it is important for them to be in their own place and be as comfortable as they can! I can adjust well to their needs and their schedules.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Avra Valley
Mary was wonderful with my dogs! On the first day, they barked at her like she was a complete stranger—even though they had met her once before. 😄 Mary was very patient and understanding and didn’t take their initial reaction personally. The next day, she changed the way she entered and approached them, and it made all the difference. They quickly warmed up to her, which really showed me how attentive and adaptable she was to their needs and personalities. I really appreciated Mary’s patience, kindness, and willingness to figure out what worked best for my dogs. I felt comfortable knowing they were in good hands, and I would definitely recommend her to other pet parents! The photos look great, so much in fact I downloaded them. She's got talent.
Mary was AMAZING with our three dogs while we were away at Disneyland! Having three dogs with different personalities and routines can be a lot, but she handled all of them beautifully. We came home to three happy, relaxed pups and a house exactly as we left it—which is pretty much the highest compliment I can give a pet sitter.

I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in her hands, and being able to enjoy our trip without worrying about what was happening at home was priceless. We will 100% be asking Mary to watch our little zoo again. Highly recommend her—although selfishly, I’d also like everyone to leave some availability for us. 😂❤️🐾

The average cost of House Sitting in Avra Valley is $42 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $60 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.

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 Avra Valley 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 Avra Valley 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 Avra Valley 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Avra Valley. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
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.
