“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. 😂❤️🐾”
“Kaitlin was fantastic and on time. I will be using her services two more times in the up coming week and my pup Ava and I are blessed to have found her on such a short notice. She provided pictures and took Ava down to the beach with our place we are staying at having direct beach access. Thank you again and we look forward to seeing you again in a few days.”
“Kylee D did a great job house and kitty sitting while we were out of town for a week. She was responsive and gave us lots of updates while we were gone. We would not hesitate to recommend her.”
About: I've been taking care of pets for neighbors and family friends for the past 4 years, and loved every second of it! I've been able to cuddle with puppies while watching a movie, wrestle with some teens pups and begrudgingly let them win, and I've taken calm walks around the backyard with a senior dog. I'm currently doing school online, so my days are spent mostly at home, perfect for house sitting and sunset walks! On weekends, my schedule is completly free! I do have some Sunday morning commitments, as I work childcare for my church, but it has a flexible schedule for whatever you or your furry friend might need! I love to match the energy of pet and owner, so I can always provide the best experience. I'm able to lounge with some calm cats or play in the yard with some energetic puppies. I can take walks around your neighborhood, or go for drives if that's your pets vibe. In the end, if the pet is happy then so am I 😊
“We had Tim and Kate take care of our French Bull dogs and Boston Terrier puppy for 9 days at our home. During that time our Ftench bull dog had a stomach obstruction and had to be rushed to emergency center and we were 3,000 miles away. It was stressful for us but Tim was amazing! He communicated every step and went above and beyond. We came home to happy healthy dogs! We will continue to use Tim and Kate and feel very lucky we found them through Rover!”
“She arrived on time, did everything we asked. She sent great pictures and went on may walks and spent time outside with him. Our dog loved her and we would definitely have her house sit again!!”
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 English bulldogs for 10 years. I haven’t met a dog I didn’t love. I can administer most meds with instructions. I’ll care for your dog as if it were my own and she’s spoiled! I work full-time but mostly remote, so I’m home a lot. I can ensure your dog’s needs are met on a daily basis, they’re the best companions. I have a fenced yard and a small area with turf for potty breaks. I live near a dog park and can take them there, weather permitting. I consider dogs a part of the household so they’re allowed everywhere but I’ll also follow your lead if you have specific instructions.
About: 🐾 Experienced, Reliable Pet Sitter | 16+ Arizona Sits & Repeat Clients Hi, I’m Zandra! I’m a calm, dependable, and genuinely animal-loving pet sitter with 9+ years of experience caring for dogs, cats, bunnies, fish, reptiles, and other pets for friends, family and acquaintances. Over the past year, I’ve completed 14+ pet sits throughout Arizona, including Flagstaff, Phoenix, and Tucson, and I’ve been fortunate enough to have several families ask me to come back and care for their pets again. Building that kind of trust with both pets and their people is one of my favorite parts of what I do. I work remotely, so I’m able to spend a lot of time at home with the pets in my care. I love having animals as my companions throughout the day, whether that means a morning walk, playtime between work, a midday potty break, or simply having a furry friend curled up nearby while I work. I’m naturally calm and patient, and I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and routine. Some pets want constant attention and adventure, while others are happiest with a quiet house, a predictable schedule, and someone nearby. I’m happy to meet them where they are. My long-term goal is to make pet sitting my full-time career, continuing to build relationships with wonderful families and expanding my experience to eventually include horse sitting and care for larger animals. 🏡 In-Home Pet Sitting When I stay in your home, your pets are my priority. I follow their normal routine as closely as possible and provide the care, companionship, and attention they’re accustomed to. This can include: • Feeding and fresh water • Potty breaks and walks • Playtime and enrichment • Lots of companionship and cuddles • Medication and special-care instructions when discussed in advance • Maintaining normal feeding and sleep routines • Bringing mail/packages inside • Watering plants and basic home care • Keeping your home clean, tidy, and secure I understand that leaving your pets can be stressful. My goal is to make the experience as easy as possible by keeping their routine familiar and providing you with peace of mind while you're away. 🐶🐱 Drop-In Visits I also offer drop-in visits for pets who are more comfortable staying in their own home. I’ll make sure they have everything they need while you're away, including food, water, potty breaks, playtime, affection, and companionship. 🐶 Dog Walking Seasonal dog walks are available October through March. Because Arizona summers can be extremely hot, I only offer dog walking during the cooler months when outdoor walks are safer and more comfortable for dogs. I tailor walks to each dog’s age, energy level, personality, and comfort level. My goal is to provide a safe, enjoyable walk with plenty of opportunities for exercise and enrichment. Because I work remotely, I’m able to spend significant time at home during pet sits. I enjoy working alongside my animal companions and being available throughout the day for attention, potty breaks, play, and cuddles. I believe great pet care starts with creating a calm, safe, and familiar environment. Whether I’m caring for your pets in their home or taking them on a walk, I follow their established routines and pay close attention to their individual needs, personality, and comfort level. For in-home stays, I treat your home with the same respect I would want for my own. I keep doors, gates, and other entry points secure, make sure pets are safely inside when they should be, and follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, allergies, behavioral needs, and household routines. I’m attentive to potential safety concerns such as weather, unfamiliar surroundings, other animals, and anything that could cause a pet stress or injury. For Arizona dog walks, I only offer walks from **October through March** because cooler temperatures make outdoor exercise safer and more comfortable. I also understand that some pets need time to warm up to a new person. I never force interaction. I let pets approach me at their own pace and build trust through patience, consistency, positive attention, and respecting their boundaries. Your pets’ safety and well-being always come first. My goal is for them to feel secure and cared for, while you have peace of mind knowing that both your pets and your home are in responsible hands.
“I had to go out of town at the last minute. A friend suggested Rover. Ander was available for a last minute stay. We met to see how Ander and Willy would be. I was very surprised at how comfortable Willy was. I am grateful for the care and attention he gave to Willy. I will happily be a repeat customer. I also appreciate that he only has one “family” of pets at a time. Thank you Ander for going out of your way to help us.”
“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.”
“Robyn was amazing. My fur babies loved her. She took wonderful care of them. I was extremely happy and relieved. I could actually enjoy my time away knowing that they were in very capable hands. Robin also left my place cleaner then I left it. She is exceptional.”
“Scottie was fantastic! I reached out to her only a couple of days before the start of the sit because my scheduled sitter canceled due to a family emergency. She was incredibly responsive, kind and accommodating. The pets immediately loved her. She provided excellent care and sent many updates/photos. Incredibly grateful! We will definitely invite her back for future sits!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Danielle. She took excellent care of our dog, giving him plenty of attention and love, and keeping to his usual routine as well as sending updates multiple times a day. She also treated our home with great care and left everything clean and in perfect condition. We came home feeling completely at ease, knowing both our dog and our house were in good hands. We have already scheduled Danielle to stay with our dog again in a couple of weeks.”
About: Hi! My name is Josephine! I am a licensed veterinary technician who has worked in a variety of animal related fields for the past 5 years. I am comfortable with various species, sizes, and special needs animals (medical/behavioral). I am proficient in offering specialized care if needed such as insulin injections, subcutaneous fluids, oral and transdermal medication administration and so on! I currently work for the zoo here in town and enjoy pet sitting/walking as a way to connect with my community. Since I do work full-time, I will be able to do a quick stop in before work in the morning, and during my lunch break. After work in the evening I am able to spend as much time with your pet as you are comfortable with! My days off are Sun/Mon so I am more available then! I am willing to adapt to anything you need! Lets talk about what your pet is used to, and what we need to do to keep your pet safe and happy!
“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 taken care of many animals through out my life, from cats and dogs, to raising animals on a farm. I enjoy being around animals and look forward to meeting yours! Im not currently working and I am available anytime to watch your fur babies. Morning, afternoon and evenings. Over night stays as well if needed. Communication is a priority and I will provide frequent updates with photos/videos. This has allowed my clients to see first hand how safe, comfortable, and secure their pets feel in my care. My clients often express their peace of mind knowing their pets are safe, understood, and well cared for while away
“Anne and Joaquin are amazing! My spouse and I recently moved to Phoenix and we had never needed to use a sitting service before. You can say we were a bit apprehensive as we have senior dogs that have never been left with strangers before. But Anne and Joaquin have completely put our minds at ease. Our babies are happy and stress free with them. They're very responsive and like to keep us updated throughout the day. Joaquin takes so much pride in his work and you can tell he bonds with the pets he sits for. We can leave on vacation and have the peace of mind that our babies are in great hands. Would highly recommend Anne and Joaquin!! They're our go to sitters going forward!”

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.

FAQs for House Sitting - Avra Valley
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Avra Valley on Rover is $36.63 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 773 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Avra Valley. 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 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Avra Valley. On Rover:
- 98% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
