“Kayla was amazing. Our dogs always get supper stressed when we have to board them so we tried having a house sitter. We had lots of good contact with Kayla with how the dogs were adjusting to her and the dogs seemed to like her. Kayla left the house clean.”
About: I have extensive hands-on experience caring for animals in both personal and multi-pet home environments, including dogs of all ages, temperaments, and medical needs. I’m comfortable with routine care such as feeding, walking, administering medications, and maintaining structured daily schedules. I also have experience supporting senior pets and animals with ongoing health conditions, including those requiring consistent medication timing and close monitoring. I understand that every pet has their own personality and comfort level, so I prioritize patience, routine, and clear communication to help animals feel safe and settled while their owners are away. I pay close attention to behavior changes, stress signals, and individual triggers, and adjust care accordingly. I treat every pet as if they are my own and aim to provide consistent, calm, and reliable care that reduces stress for both pets and owners. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine and I’m able to provide consistent availability around my work schedule. I work in Meridian Monday through Thursday, but I can accommodate early morning drop-ins before work as well as afternoon care visits after I’m off for the day. On Fridays, I work from home, which gives me much more flexibility for scheduling visits throughout the day. I’m also fully available on weekends, making it easy to provide more frequent check-ins, longer visits, or added flexibility as needed. Overall, my schedule allows me to be reliable and consistent during the week while offering expanded availability and responsiveness on Fridays and weekends. I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes to ensure pets stay comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routine with minimal disruption. During visits, I follow all owner instructions closely, including feeding schedules, fresh water, litter box or potty breaks, medication administration if needed, and any specific care routines. I also spend time engaging with pets through play, companionship, and calm interaction based on their personality and comfort level. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and wellbeing during every visit and will provide updates and photos so you can feel confident they are safe, cared for, and doing well while you’re away.
“Daniel took AMAZING care of my pets and my home!! I have chickens, an indoor cat, & a 12 month old Great Pyrenees, who is pretty difficult. He is either high strung or napping… there’s no middle ground. Daniel’s calm demeanor was just what was needed to create a successful stay with my dog! He took him walking with other dogs which was great & Daniel seemed to have managed quite well. The hens and kitty appeared to have also been taken care of perfectly! I hope to have Daniel come back and stay for my next getaway! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!”
“Ashley was pretty much the best house sitter i have had in a very long time. My cat was very well taken care of, she sent plenty of updates, kept my home in good order and even left me a thank you card and drew a picture of my cat by hand for me :) Will be using her again!!!”
“Britney did a FANTASTIC job dogsitting for our Milo. She took him for walks every day and sent us such cute pictures each day while we were out of town. She is a true dog lover and it really shows in her work. Milo absolutly loved her and we will definitely have her back the next time we need to go out of town.”
“Besides excellent care for our old gal, Blue, a HUGE plus is that Kim left the house looking like I had just stepped out to grocery shop and came back an hour later. The only " footprint" she left was a happy pup! Thank you, Kim!!”
“Gunner is a very kind and conscientious pet and house sitter. He is communicative and provided updates and pictures of our cat happily interacting with him. My mind was so at ease knowing Gunner was taking care of my cat and home while we were away. I would definitely hire him again!”
“Erin was awesome!! She was quick with responding, provided pictures and updates of Max while we were gone and had a great fenced yard that Max loved 😃. Will definitely use her again!!”
“Thank goodness we found Davalyn. We were worried we wouldn’t find anyone to replace our long term sitter due to our dog’s separation anxiety. Davalyn was happy to watch our dog in our home while we were out of town. Davalyn was detailed, communicative, trustworthy and kept the dog’s schedule. We came home to a happy dog and a well maintained house.”
About: I have been around animals all my life. Large and small and every size in between. I have two dogs, chickens two horses and a crazy goat who thinks she’s a dog! I have been a dog groomer for roughly 11 years. I have dog sat in my home as well as traveled to other peoples homes to care for their pets. I am currently available between the hours of 7 am and 8 pm for dog walking and checking in on your home or stopping by for pet checks. Caring for your pet in your home is just as it would be in my own home. Your pet will be sure to have fresh clean water, bedding if they have any, regular feedings and lots of pets and play.
“Alyssa and Natisha did a fantastic job taking care of our dog and cats. They shared lots of pictures and kept things clean. When we came home, the pets were all happy and healthy.”
About: I have a 10 yr old male Chihuahua and 7 yr old female Shitzu/ Deer head Chihuahua. I feel I'm very good with animals I am currently working part time, i will have plenty of time to care for your fur baby. Anything that will make them feel at ease while in my care i have a big back yard for your dogs to run around even an extra patio for them to lounge on in the shade. I have two smaller dogs that are overly spoiled. My two dogs are yappers only for alerting.
“We have been using Chenaniah for a few years now and have had nothing but great experiences. She takes great care of our animals, communicates quickly, and we come home to happy pups and a clean house.”
“Candy was wonderful. I would trust her with our dog and cat again. She was communicative, left the house if anything cleaner and even made a holiday card of our pets.”
“Kristi is wonderful! The moment she came to meet my two dogs, I knew she was a true animal lover. My dogs can be a bit overwhelming at first but her calmness was very evident. Her communication was excellent with several updates and pictures. I enjoyed my short trip so much more knowing my dogs were being taken care of so well. My home was so clean and my pups were happy when I got home. I will definitely use Kristi again!”
About: I am an animal lover for life! Starting as a teenager, I house sat for the neighbor and their poodle who suffered seizures. I continued to pet sit and have always had dogs and cats of my own. I'm currently looking for work, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pet. Whether it's a walk, play date or house sitting, I'm available! I'm unable to bring your pets to my home at this time. I am happy to pick your pet up from your home for walks or play dates. I am also available for house sitting opportunities where I am able to bring my dog too.
“Lana was very good with my difficult dogs. I have 2 German Shorthair pups and a very old and sick lab. I would have cancelled my trip but had already paid for everything. Annie is unable to walk on her own and getting close to the end. Lana was both compassionate to Annie and patient with the two crazy puppies. She also fed my llamas and started a fire in the fireplace for our return. Its very hard to go into a strangers home and care for spoiled dogs. I'm very happy with the experiences I've had using Rover.”
“Susie & Daniel are simply the best...this time they REALLY saved our bacon. They literally came to the rescue...late at night. We had left our two dogs at home with a new housesitter...and there was a big issue with the sitter and we had to call Susie & Daniel late in the evening...and they came to the rescue while we were completely across the country. We could not be more appreciative of their services and their kind, loving care for our dogs. They went above and beyond.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Black Canyon
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 956 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Black Canyon. 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 Black Canyon 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 Black Canyon 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 Black Canyon 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 Black Canyon. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
