“Becky was great watching our three dogs and our home while we were away for several days! She kept us updated daily with messages and pictures! Definitely recommend her to others!”
“Sharon is a very warm, down-to-earth person. My 16 yo rescue dog, Fawn was very well taken care of. I was happy & lucky to find someone willing to stay in my home with my dog. Fawn has lost some vision and hearing so she does better in a familiar place. I appreciated getting photos and updates on my pup. I could completely relax and enjoy my 2-week vacation with family and friends, knowing my old girl was safe and loved. Sharon has a lot of experience with dogs from the years she had a business taking care of people’s dogs in her own home when her clients were away. I highly recommend Sharon!”
“Maisie is wonderful! We were very comfortable leaving our pup with her. She sent photos and updates everyday we were gone, left the house immaculate and thoroughly enjoyed her time spoiling our girl. Thank you for taking such good care of our pup! 💕”
“Charli took care of my. 14 year old Yorkie with health problems. She had to give him 3 pills twice daily and treat him with care. She did a great job and returned him to me in great shape.”
“Sara was wonderful-sent pictures daily with updates-pets happy and content when we returned home. Our home was left in perfect condition. She is a kind and caring individual who we will most certainly use again. Would give her ten stars if we could! Patti and Bill”
About: I grew up with dogs and have pet sat for family and friends over the years. I even pet sat 2 birds when I was 11, learning that I am not a bird person 😅 but I love the pups. I have a year of professional dog walking experience and am excited to be able to add pet sitting. I have helped train the family pets my whole life mostly the basics: perimeter training, no jumping, stay, sit, etc. I will implement any training techniques and goals you have been working on with your pup to be sure they keep growing. If your pup is in their final years I would love to help you make them the best. I was able to see my beloved Rocky and Zuri through all their days. Zuri's hips where too weak in the end. A almost hundred pound rhodesian ridgeback, I would carry her when needed often having her lay on blankets and pulling her around the house then lifting her out side. She was such a sweet girl her and Rocky both lived for about 14 years. I am available any day after 2pm. I work mornings so am not always available in the mornings. During the summer this does lead to later walk times in the evening since the heat is so much. If sitting it would also mean 5am walks on my work days. What does your pup enjoy? I will gladly take them on walks, play out side, go for a drive to a park for them to be social butterflies. My goal is to burn all that good energy off so they may enjoy all the good naps.
“Amy was super attentive and caring towards our sweet boy. Great communicator as well as fantastic at sending a few photos and updates while we were gone…that gave us peace of mind knowing he was in good hands and we could fully enjoy our time away. We fully trust her and will book again in the future. Thank you so much, Amy!”
“Annette is a wonderful dog Sitter. I felt so secure knowing she was there my dog who has separation anxiety was really at home with her highly recommend and thanks for everything Annette”
“Joanna was amazing! My typically shy dog loved her immediately which made it easier for this nervous momma leave without worrying. I will definitely book with her again in the future!”
“Alexandra was exactly what we were hoping for in a house and pet sitter. We live in a rather remote, rural area and she was comfortable with those challenges. She handled additional chores of watering gardens and feeding our wild birds and bats. Her daily reports and photos were appreciated, and communication was always timely. My husband returned home before I did and he reported that everything had been well tended and the home and property were super clean and tidy. And on top of all this, Alexandra is a delightful person, gentle and kind and she gave Rowdy all the love, attention and walks that he demands!! We have struggled to find capable sitters willing to go the (literal) extra miles to stay here and provide the care needed and are thrilled to have found Alexandra! We won't be going anywhere without her.....”

About: Hi! Available for (much of) Santa Cruz and Cochise Counties, including Ft Huachuca. I grew up on a farm, worked at a vet clinic, and have always had animals and pets when my life permitted. I have a passion for our furry "family members" as well as learning all different types of animal behavior. Dogs, cats, horses, cows, donkeys, fish, and even took care of a camel a time or two. My professional and athletic life has taken me around the world, and frankly, caring for pets of family, friends and neighbors throughout the years has still always been a most gratifying highlight! I have the patience and energy to match dogs of all temperaments, so let me know how I can support you and your family! If my profile is visible, it means I have plenty of time to help out with your furry family members, be it pet-sitting, walking, or just checking in on them. I have a highly-flexible schedule and a vehicle large enough to crate/transport if needed. As far as housesitting, depending on the proximity, would be flexible on either daily check-in and/or possibly overnights. Please reach out in advance to discuss. I live on a large ranch but do prefer to keep them leashed when walking (until I know they heel well AND to keep YOU more confident). I'm flexible on this based on consults with you. They would sleep indoors, and if you prefer, I could easily crate as well. Non-smoking home. You can bet I'll treat them as my own!

I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. Whether your pup needs a fun walk, drop-in visit, or loving care while you're away, I'll provide plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection. I'm patient, reliable, and committed to following your dog's routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. My background caring for children has strengthened my patience, responsibility, and ability to stay calm in any situation—qualities that also help me provide excellent pet care. I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away. You can expect: Daily photo and video updates. Prompt communication. Walks, playtime, cuddles, and enrichment. Careful attention to feeding schedules and medications (if needed). Respect for your home and clear communication throughout your trip. I'm excited to meet you and your furry family members and provide the dependable care they deserve! I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! Pet care fits well into my schedule. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable walks, drop-in visits, and attentive care throughout the day. I plan my time carefully so every pet gets the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. Whether your dog needs a daily walk or care while you're away, I'm committed to being dependable and making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved. I prioritize the safety and well-being of every pet in my care. I carefully follow each owner's instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, and routines. I make sure doors, gates, and windows are secure before leaving, keep the home clean and respectful, and always use a leash during walks unless instructed otherwise in a safely enclosed area. I pay close attention to each dog's behavior and comfort level, avoid unsafe situations, and communicate with owners if I notice anything unusual. I'll also provide regular updates and photos so you know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away.

“Mercedes did a great job and went above and beyond to care for our dogs. Even going as far as making sure we had a clean home to come home to after traveling. We will definitely book with her in the future!”
“Hannah went above and beyond in every way! Not only did she take amazing care of our lab puppies, but she also left our home spotless. She sent regular updates and photos, which meant so much to us while we were away. She was also extremely flexible and accommodating with my husband’s crazy work schedule, which made everything so much easier for us. It’s clear she genuinely loves and cares for the pets she watches. We felt completely at ease knowing they were in such great hands. We will definitely be using Hannah again—highly recommend”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Benson on Rover is $31.08 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 116 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Benson. 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 Benson 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 Benson 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 Benson 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
