“Scott was an incredible dog sitter! We have two dogs — one elderly and one very high energy — plus a cat, and he handled all of them so well. He sent lots of great photos and updates throughout our trip, which gave us so much peace of mind. When we got home, the house looked fantastic, and it was clear our pets had been very well cared for. Beyond that, Scott is just a genuinely great person. We were so happy with him and will definitely use him again!”

“Anna took outstanding care of our three kitties while we were on vacation and our home was perfect upon our return. She sent frequent updates with pictures of our fur babies playing and being their goofy selves. The communication was excellent which allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our time away. Highly recommend her friendly, professional service.”

“Gail stayed with our 2 poodles while we were away. She kept us well informed of their daily activities. I couldn’t be more pleased with how she made us feel at ease as our sitter.”


About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve grown up with dogs and currently have four of my own, so caring for pets is something that comes naturally to me. Through the years, I’ve gained experience with dogs of different breeds, sizes and personalities, and I’ve also helped care for dogs belonging to friends, family and others when they’ve needed a reliable sitter. I currently work a low-stress, remote job on weekdays, so I can be attentive to your pets for most of the day, whether it be taking them outside, playing with them, taking them on walks or whatever they need. When caring for pets, I make it a priority to keep them feel safe and comfortable by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I follow all instructions carefully, whether it be feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications and any special care requirements. I understand that every dog is different, so I take the time to learn their personality and preferences to help them feel safe and relaxed while their owners are away.
“Left our cats to Shelley for a week and they love her! Shelley took good care of them and regularly gave us updates on how they were doing. She communicated inadvance if there were schedule adjustments. She was there with the cats the whole time which gave us peace of mind while we were away. I recommend her service. We will sure to be return customers.”

“Jennifer was fabulous. Very, very communicative. Lots of pictures and videos. Jennifer is very friendly, kind, and very caring. I came home to a spotless home, healthy plants and happy dogs. Highly recommend Jennifer!!”

“Ash was amazing with our two boys! We have a cane corso and a frenchie and we were super nervous to have someone new watch our pups and they loved her! She even left little treats, a handwritten note, and two beautiful handmade pictures of our pups! So thoughtful and she’s so professional and kind. Highly recommend!”

“Thank you, Leann. We appreciate your attention to detail and you always go above and beyond our expectations. It's so good coming home knowing our animals and home were so lovingly taken care of! ♥️🙏”

“Aayana was great to work with and the cats/house were well taken care of. She was incredibly flexible when we had inclement weather affect our travel plans and we will definitely use her again in the future!”

About: I am that girl that takes 20 minutes to leave the house because it takes me so long to say bye to my little friends. I love animals and have been around them my entire life. Grew up with little dogs and am now a cat mom. As a Realtor, my schedule changes from day to day, which gives me flexibility throughout the week. Whether it’s a walk, a drop-in visit, or some extra attention, I can always find time each day to care for your pet and make sure they’re happy, safe, and well-loved. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make it a priority to follow their normal routine as closely as possible. In a client’s home, I’ll make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of exercise and playtime, bathroom breaks, and lots of affection. I’ll also keep their space clean, administer medications if needed (with instructions), and provide regular updates with photos so you know how they’re doing. If I’m caring for a pet in my home, they’ll have a safe, clean, and comfortable environment with plenty of attention, exercise, and supervised care. I always pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs to make sure they feel relaxed, secure, and loved while you’re away.
“Lauren took great care of our dog and home while we were out of town. She is very responsible and clearly loves dogs! She will be our first call when we are in need of someone to housesit again.”

About: I recently lost my 16-year-old Shih Tzu, Harper, who was a huge part of my life. Caring for him through every stage of life, especially his senior years, gave me extensive experience with patience, routines, medication support, comfort care, and recognizing dogs’ individual needs. I am comfortable caring for both small and large dogs and provide a calm, clean, smoke-free home environment. Your dog will have access to a spacious, air-conditioned 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home with a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time. There are no other animals or children in the home, allowing for a peaceful environment and plenty of individualized attention. As a school principal, responsibility, communication, safety, and trust are part of my everyday life. I understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet with someone dependable, loving, and attentive. As summer comes to an end, I'll be returning to my full-time role as an elementary school principal. During the school year, I'm typically away from home Monday through Friday from approximately 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. If your dog is comfortable being home during those hours—similar to a typical workday—I would love to care for them! Before and after work, your pet will receive plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, walks (if requested), cuddles, and lots of love. One of the perks of my career is having several school breaks throughout the year. During fall, winter, spring, summer breaks, and long weekends, my schedule is much more flexible, allowing me to spend significantly more time at home with your pet. If you're looking for boarding during one of those breaks, your dog will enjoy even more companionship and attention throughout the day. My home is safe, smoke-free, and has a fully fenced yard. Transparency is important to me, so if your pet requires constant supervision or frequent midday care during the workweek, I may not be the best fit. However, if your dog is comfortable with a typical workday routine, I'd be happy to welcome them into my home. As a school principal, responsibility, communication, and creating a safe, caring environment are at the heart of what I do every day—and I bring those same qualities to caring for your pets. I provide a safe, calm, clean, and loving environment where pets can feel comfortable and cared for while away from their families. In my home, dogs will have access to a spacious, air-conditioned 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home with a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time and potty breaks. My home is smoke-free with no other pets or children, which allows me to provide individualized attention and a peaceful environment. I carefully follow each pet owner’s instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications, sleeping arrangements, routines, and any special needs. I understand how important consistency and communication are for pets, especially seniors or dogs adjusting to a new environment. As a school principal, safety, responsibility, supervision, and communication are part of my daily life, and I bring those same qualities into pet care. My goal is to make both pets and their owners feel safe, comfortable, and confident while in my care.
About: Hi there! I’m Allison, and I can’t wait to meet your furry family members. I have loved and cared for my own dogs and cats for more than 25 years. Currently, my house is kept lively by my three amazing pups: a Beagle, a Golden Retriever, and a Labrador. Having raised everything from high-energy hunting breeds to gentle giants, I know exactly what it takes to keep a household happy and harmonious. My philosophy is simple: I treat your pets, in your home, exactly like they are my own. Whether your dog needs a structured routine and a good game of fetch, or your cat prefers quiet companionship and perfectly timed chin scratches, I tailor my care to their unique personalities. I am comfortable with oral medications, special diets, and multiple pets. I will make sure your pet gets the love and attention it deserves while you are away. I offer dedicated overnight stays at your home so their routine goes uninterrupted. I can provide morning and evening feedings, fresh water refills, multiple walks/yard play sessions, plenty of couch cuddles, and daily text and photo updates. I’ll also keep your home secure and tidy, bring in the mail, and water plants. I can also do drop in visits to provide morning/evening food, fresh water, let-outs/quick walks, playtime, and a clean litter box or backyard scoop. Animals thrive on consistency. I adhere strictly to your established schedules for feedings, bathroom breaks, and medication administration to minimize any separation anxiety. You will never have to wonder how your pets are doing. I provide daily updates complete with photos and notes on their mood, eating habits, and bathroom routines. If anything seems out of the ordinary, I will communicate with you immediately.

FAQs for House Sitting - Black Canyon City
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Black Canyon City on Rover is $36.23 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 City 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 City 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 City 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.
