“Truth - I hired Anne to pet sit two cats. I was out of town for 3 weeks for a major surgery, and worked with Anne to make sure my cats would be cared for. She was excellent! Pet sitting was the only piece of my absence that made me worry, and I felt relieved when I found Anne. She is great, even with just cats!”
“Shanna was AMAZING with Max. She filled in on short notice and made everything seamless. Max was completely as ease with her. She kept us updated the whole time. It gave us great peace of mind. We will certainly book with Shanna again.”
“Kylee was very polite and took wonderful care of our dogs, and home! Everything looked nicer then when I left it, and she gave us consistent updates and pictures each day which we really enjoyed. Thank you so much Kylee, definitely will be happy to have your help in the future!”
About: Respecting your home and understanding that it’s your pets home is most important to me. I love meeting new furry friends, in my past I’ve house sat, dog sat, and cat sat many times. I will respect your wishes on how you prefer care. I work full time at Mesa La-Z-Boy. It’s an hour drive. I leave for work 8:45, and get home usually around 6:30-7 at the latest. I can come to your home before work and check in (walk, feed, ect) and again after work. I’m open to staying over night to keep an eye as well. Then I’m off on Mondays and Tuesdays. Depending on what you’re looking for I can make myself available to you more. Anything I can do to take stress off your shoulders. I will give your pet the care it needs and do what it takes to make them comfortable. That’s what I’m here for! I take time to learn more about our pets and their needs so everyone is safe and protected.
“Our dogs received so much love and care! Our two 100lb+ dogs require detailed arrangements to prevent aggression and they were treated with excellent care and attention - specifically with extra comfort for the 4th of July fireworks noise. We look forward to booking again!”
“We had a great experience with Therese! She provided daily updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Our pets were clearly well cared for, and the house was tidy and just as we left it. She also took care of a few extra tasks we had asked about ahead of time, which we really appreciated. Would absolutely recommend and book again!”
“Shannon had her hands full with my Aussie. He is a full blown herder and more vocal than your average husky. Additionally, Ozzy was recovering from a cold and antibiotics were making him feel yucky. Shannon was incredibly resourceful and worked with me to find solutions to help my fur baby feel comfortable and safe despite his mom being far away for a whole week. I sincerely appreciated her dedication!”
“Cris does such a great job making sure our dog is comfortable and happy! She is a great communicator and sends lots of photos and updates. She is flexible when we need to change days/times of the booking and is always so kind. Our dog absolutely adores her!”
“Paige was so incredible with our three big dogs, one of whom is reactive and another is a giant puppy. She was communicative and took great care of our home too! She sent lots of pictures and even left us a cute note about her time with the pups :)”
“Kailey is a fantastic sitter! We hired her to house-sit and care for our two dogs for 13 days, and she exceeded our expectations. From the very beginning, she was incredibly communicative, making us feel confident before our trip even started. Throughout our time away, she sent daily updates and photos, giving us complete peace of mind. While we were out of the country, one of our dogs had a medical emergency. Kailey handled the situation exactly as we hoped she would—she immediately took our dog to the emergency vet, ensured they received the care they needed, and closely monitored them once they returned home. She kept us informed every step of the way, communicating with us consistently throughout the entire ordeal. We couldn't be more grateful for the exceptional care Kailey provided. She is responsible, compassionate, and someone we trust completely with our home and our pets. We would absolutely hire her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an outstanding pet sitter.”
“Carol did a terrific job looking after our three dogs while we were away. She was very organized and professional, and we knew our dogs were well taken care of. We were very impressed with her ability to quickly make friends with our shy dog, Logan! If you're in need of a house/dog sitter, hire Carol!”
“Lilly is awesome!! Moose loved her, she was very patient and kind with him. Kept great communication and met all of his needs. 100% would re book! Was a great help and helped with a house emergency. Very much appreciated!”
About: I have been the go to for many families to take care of their fur babies for many years. I have walked dogs bigger than me, given medicine to blind cats, and helped elderly dogs find their way outside. I am an online college student who would love to have your pets keep me company while I complete my classes. My schedule is very open to be able to give your fur baby the attention they deserve. I adapt so your pet doesn't have to. I can get up early or stay up late to meet their needs. Everyone has a different schedule I can adjust to to make the transition easier on their pets.
About: I will abide by your preferences and always prioritize safety first. I have cared intensively for pets who have suffered both illness and injury. My corgirl Autumn developed sudden paralysis last year. She and I have since conquered her IVDD together through dedicated home therapy, prescriptions and an abundance of love, patience and a few wheels! I have administered medication via feed syringe and tablet to my childhood kitty who was born with FIV and dressed wounds for other pets. These experiences forever softened my heart and solidified a mutual respect. I will care for your pet by any means necessary, as I do my own. As a Flight Attendant, my schedule is posted one month in advance so I will diligently update my availability. Pet care fits my routine perfectly and I’m eager to walk your pup to keep us both active! I walk my dog three times a day, making sure to switch up the scenery when I can. Up early to beat the heat, midday refresh, and a late night outing makes sure there’s no overnight discomfort or accidents. With a flexible work schedule, I’m able to offer services weekdays and weekends! I am a lifelong lover of creatures of all kinds! I believe animals connect instantly with those who possess a kind heart and good intentions, so I’m honored when there’s a mutual trust right away, but I will work diligently to win over your shy guy! I’ve had consistent positive experience with pets throughout my life beginning the day I was born, arriving home to be greeted by a brand new puppy! We were inseparable for 16 years! I have been taught unwavering compassion and dedicated nurture from raising my courageous little corgi (4yo) and will not hesitate to treat your sweet like family!
About: I thought that joining Rover.com would be a good idea now that it is summer and I have plenty of time. I have been dog and house sitting for some friends a few times throughout the past year and it went well. My friends had labradoodles, a golden retriever, mixed dogs, puppies, and a bird. I would be available most of the day to keep your pets company for doggy day-time. Dog-boarding I have done before for my friends dogs so I think I would be alright at it. Most of the time dogs would sleep in the bedrooms with me but whatever is preferred will be fine. Thank you for taking the time to read my little "About Me" section! Please feel free to message me or see my reviews on TrustedHouseSitters. I am looking for more flexible work and Rover.com is perfect for that. I love fur babies so it makes working easier too! I have time most days to fill up with taking care of pets! I provide a safe and loving environment. Ensuring pets feel safe and happy!! Taking on walks, playing, and pets! Please message for more questions! Thanks:)
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.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Cactus Forest is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Cactus Forest
I had super anxiety about leaving my dogs with someone we didnt know. Danny did more than 100% of taking care of my furbabies. I would recommend him again and again. He is trustworthy and loves animals. He sent me pictures and videos of the dogs because he knew how much anxiety I had. The next time I need a sitter ot someone I know I will be contacting Danny!!!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Cactus Forest
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 328 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Cactus Forest. 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 Cactus Forest 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 Cactus Forest 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 Cactus Forest 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.

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.
