“Jacquelynn did a wonderful job with our pets. She stayed in touch with texts and pics. She left our home clean, just like we left it. We will be asking her back!”
“Gail was so lovely. I have two senior dogs who loved her. One of mine is very anxious and he did great with her. I will definitely be booking with Gail in the future!”
“Ginine was amazing. She stayed at our house with our 2 dogs, one being 10 months old. She took great care of the dogs and even cleaned up the house! I would highly recommend her to anyone.”
“Katelyn took excellent care of my two dogs when I had to leave town for a family emergency. She sent me photos during her stay which cheered me up, and reassured me that my older dog with health issues was doing just fine. Both dogs enjoyed her stay and care. I would definitely recommend Katelyn and plan to see if she is available the next time I need to leave town. And an unexpected surprise: she left me a sweet note about the dogs and a beautiful little Orchid plant when I came home.”
“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!”
“There aren't enough posititve words to describe Shelley. She is amazing. Benson loved every minute with her. She was very communicative and sent lots of pics and movies. She willingly got up at 4:30am for his morning walks before the heat set in. She went above and beyond with the way she left the house so clean. I was really able to enjoy my vacation because I didn't have to worry about Benson. She will be our sitter from now on!”
“Cheylee was absolutely lovely! She took meticulous care of our 2 dogs and a cat, and our home. Our senior dog had special needs and she went above and beyond caring for him and sending us daily updates and pictures. She left our home cleaner than we left it. I will hire her again in a heartbeat and I would highly recommend her!”
“Justin stayed with our 4 dogs and one cat for a week while we went on a cruise. He sent tons of updates and videos as well as texts. Both of our elderly dogs needed medication twice a day too. We really appreciate the care he took of our crew-we would highly recommend him!!!”
“Ashlyn was a great sitter for our two Goldendoodles. She truly showed them the love and attention that we show them and treated them like her own pets. She was communicative, punctual and incredibly helpful in every aspect. She even went the extra mile to pickup some necessities for my girls that they ended up needing. We would definitely recommend her and will be using her again.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
About: I have lifelong experience caring for both cats and dogs, including rescues, seniors, anxious pets, and animals who need a little extra patience. I’ve lived with pets my entire life and currently care for my own animals, so I understand how important routines, safety, and trust are. I’m comfortable with a wide range of services — drop‑ins, walks, house sitting, feeding routines, medication (oral), litter box care, crate training, and supporting pets with mobility or confidence challenges. I adapt my care to each pet’s personality. Whether your dog is energetic or slow‑moving, or your cat is social, shy, or spicy, I meet them where they’re at and make sure they feel safe and understood. You’ll always receive reliable communication, updates, and photos so you know exactly how your pet is doing while you’re away. I treat every animal with the same love, gentleness, and attention I give my own. I am a full-time mental health counselor and have a passion for taking care of animals. I am available almost every day of the week and have a flexible schedule! I always keep a sharp eye on any animal to ensure their safety and overall wellbeing are in good spirits. Nonetheless, whether it is on leash or a fenced in yard, your child is in good hands!
“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: 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.
“Patrick was absolutely fantastic with my two pups! One of them—a cautious and protective boxer—is not easy with strangers, but Patrick went above and beyond by spending hours with him beforehand to build trust. It was clear from their interactions that Patrick is experienced and knowledgeable when it comes to dog behaviors. I felt completely at ease leaving my fur babies in his care. On top of that, the house was spotless when I returned! Thank you so much, Patrick—you’re a true gem!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Cave Creek
We all liked Zach, especially Nova. When we interviewed him; by the end of the visit Nova was lying by his feet. That the the deciding factor. We hired him. He was on time, took Nova to her happy place which is the dog park & did what we asked of him. We're happy to recommend him to find a happy dog when you come home.
Katelyn does such an amazing job every time she watches my cat! She takes excellent care of her and kept me updated with photos during the stay, which really kept me at ease while I was away. It’s obvious Katelyn genuinely loves animals and treats them as her own. Everything went smooth, communication was prompt, and the entire experience exceeded my expectations! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring Rover sitter!

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 September 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 September 2026, there are 3,927 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Cave Creek. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
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.
