“Jackie stepped in to help us with a last minute two-week house sitting request. She was amazing with our yellow lab, Dakota, and took excellent care of our home. She sent us daily photos and updates to ease our minds while we were out of the country. We are so grateful we found her and have already rebooked her for our next trip. Highly recommend this wonderful, responsible dog lover 🐾”
“Great experience from start to finish! Katelyn was professional, communicative, and clearly cared about my pet. I got regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. My pet was happy and well cared for, and everything was just as I left it when I got back. I will definitely be booking with Katelyn again and highly recommend her!”
“Lyla was fantastic. She was able to check on Blaze a few times during the day and even kept him company at night. She took him for walks which he loves. She even put up with all of his talking! She sent me photos to show how happy he was. I would highly recommend Lyla. If I need a dog sitter again, there is no question that I would use Lyla!”
About: We live in a clean home, in a safe community. We have (1) yellow lab that would like a friend to play with during the day. Doggy door available, feed, clean, and walk the dogs, we do it all. We have a pool at another location that we would be happy to take a dog or two, if they like to swim. I currently work from home and have an endless amount of time to feed and throw toys. We have cameras around the home for added security. I have a fenced yard. Dogs are contained within the property, unless on a leash on a walk or on a car ride. Safety is our biggest concern. I work from home and have plenty of time to throw toys and play with the dogs. There is a doggie door and fenced yard to play in. I have a fenced/walled yard with a doggie door. We do not have a pool or anything dangerous in the yard. Dogs are allowed to come and go as they like, unless we are told different by you. We allow dogs on the furniture and in the beds if they like.
“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!”
About: 𐂂｡⋆ I’ve had a love for animals since I was young! The adults around me have trusted me around their animals due to my deep love for educating myself on their animals needs and respecting said animals boundaries. Animals are more than just pets, they have their own personalities, choices, emotions, that deserve to be cared for just as much as humans do. It’s that empathy towards all creatures, big or small, that has drawn me to their care. I’ve sat my own pets (dogs, lizards, birds) throughout my life as well as family members, neighbors, friends (as well as done a lot of equestrian work), so I’ve had a lot of time around animals! I’d love to be able to care for yours in the same way💜 ☆｡⋆ I’m currently on summer break until the end of September, which frees up my schedule overall and allows me to be pretty open to caring for your animals at any time! ☽｡⋆ I’m very by the book, whatever you say goes! I’m ready to follow your schedule and daily routines in order to ensure that your animals feel more secure in their home while you’re away.
“My pets seemed to love her and she was very good at keeping us posted during her care. She stayed at our house for a few days while we were out of town and she was respectful of our things and would highly recommend!”
“Scott was awesome, reliable, professional and great to work with. He was very always responsive and made sure to give me updates twice daily. I hope to work with him again.”
“Victoria was awesome! She was so kind and loving, and took the best care of our dog. She sent lots of updates and checked in any time she had a question. We could not recommend her enough!”
“This is the third time Cheylee has watched our girls. She is wonderful and the girls love her too! She’s very communicative and sends pictures daily without being asked. We’ll continue to have her dog/house sit for us and would definitely recommend.”
“Darion was great! She sent us pictures and updates daily. Our kitty babies were so well adjusted when we got home that it was obvious she had spent a great deal of time with them.”
“Suzanne took care of our two dogs Guinness and Charlie. She sent lots of updates and pictures, which we appreciated. Both our dogs wanted to go home with her. She was great and we highly recommend her for your fur babies. Thank you again.”
“Ashely and Benjamin were exceptional! They went above and beyond just taking care of our dog. They showed her a lot of love and even took her for a grooming. We will definitely keep asking Ashely and Ben to take care of our dog.”
“Linda is great! This was our first time using Linda, she is a great communicator and anticipated all of our needs. Linda stayed at our house for five nights, she is very clean and tidy. I can tell that Izzy my Chihuahua loved her and we will be using her again.”
About: I had a dog as a kid from the ages 6-18. I was a canine coach at a doggy daycare and worked with dogs of all breeds and sizes. I also maintained a group of 30 dogs at a time. I have no problem cleaning poop or puke or anything like that. I also volunteered at a zoo and worked with the primates. I love every animal I see and I especially love dogs. I will love your baby as much as you do Over the summer starting May 11th 2026 I can do any time any day. I do have a trip planned in July. Once the semester starts I can do check-ins and walks in the early afternoons, and evenings on weekdays and anytime on weekends. I can all house sit on any day of you give me a week notice I care for all animals by reading their body language and respecting it. If a dog or cat does not want to be pet, I’m not going to. If they are playful, I’ll be playful. I will also lay down and cuddle your baby. I always put the dogs safety and anxiety first.
“Brandon and his fiance Emily were wonderful. They took good care of Pugsly, Pepe, and the house while we were gone. They communicated and sent photos so we would know all was well. I will definately hire him again.”

Kyli was great. She asked great questions in our meet and greet which made me feel confident having her watch my pup. She kept me updated and was quick to respond when I checked in while I was away. She left my place clean and tidy as well. She took great care of my pup and I came back to a happy and healthy girl!

FAQs for House Sitting - Cave Creek
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Cave Creek on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 3,868 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Cave Creek. 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 Cave Creek 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 Cave Creek 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 Cave Creek 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.
