“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.”
“Mackenzie is a pleasure!! She is attentive to every detail, especially from this nervous pet parent. She kept the house immaculate and the pets loved her. She has friends for life in this house! We will absolutely use Mackenzie again!!! Book her now!”
“Cheylee is amazing! HIGHLY recommend for any dog/house sitting needs. She is so sweet and made sure to send my husband and I plenty of pictures and updates while we were away on vacation. Our dogs had so much fun with Cheylee. We’re excited to have her stay and take care of our babies 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!”
“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!”
“Chris was amazing!!! She took care of my two Goldens with lots of love and care. Chris followed the instructions I had reviewed with her and she went the proverbial extra mile with playing with them, monitoring their pool playtime and especially their daily routine of feeding, snacks and bathroom breaks. In addition, she took such great care of my home and accepted deliveries I had received. I highly recommend Chris for anyone and everyone who is looking for an amazing in-home pet sitter. Thank you Chris ❤️🐶🐶”
“Fantastic service. We had an opportunity to meet with Chris a while back to explore his services to take care of my blind doxie and he took care of him this past weekend and he was a great sitter. He took care not only of my boy, but was kind enough to take care of our Yorkie [unplanned] because it was my birthday. Chris is a total class act, clean and thorough with his communication and care of our home. In fact, he will be taking care of my Doxie once again this week and in October.”
“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.”
“Alexandria is so sweet and flexible and she really cares about our dog. Leaving your pup while on vacation can be stressful but Alexandria sends so many updates and makes sure that I know pup is okay. She has always gone above and beyond for our dog. I can’t say enough good things. Thank you so much!”
“Appreciate Tami taking care of girl even though Aurora took some time to warm up to her. She took her on walks even in the Phoenix heat and stayed with her as well as gave us updates. We felt secure knowing that Tami was with her.”
About: Pet sitting is my bread and butter. I have had cats my entire life and have in the past three years been pet sitting for dogs as well. It has been my mission to provide stellar service to any and all cats and dogs that come my way! I understand the nuances of these crazy cooky critters and no matter their individual quirks, they shall be treated with the utmost respect and authority, as all animals should be! I am currently a full time student at ASU, who only goes on campus on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Since I am not on campus for a substantial period of time, it allows me to spend more time with any animals I pet sit for! I always, before I leave if need be, make sure that I see the pets that I’m sitting for to make sure everyone is accounted for. I always make sure the windows and doors are locked and I do a sweep of the place (and my own place) to ensure that everyone is safe and secure!
About: I’ve even spent the last 6 years working at a rescue with large breed dogs! My own fur family also consists of dogs of all shapes and sizes, including a special needs chihuahua (he had back surgery and needs his bladder expressed, he just walks with swag!) and dogs that are fearful and skittish with new people. I also have experience working with a dog who is reactive on walks to other dogs. My clients also include walking 3 beautiful German sheperds and experience with 3 fun pittie mixes who keep me entertained. I am currently working part time at the rescue along with another client I take care of during the week so my schedule is limited at the moment but will be opening up more in November. I always go slow when meeting new dogs and go at their pace. I always treat other dogs like they were my own, whether it’s going for a pup cup or lunch after our walks, watching dog movies (Bluey or Scooby doo to start) or going shopping for a new toy. It’s always a safe and fun adventure depending on what your pet (and you!) are ok with.
About: I've grown up with dogs all my life!! Love being with animals and taking care of them! I've taken care of dogs for a family friends many times. I am a personal trainer, so I'm available to take the animals out morning, lunchtime and evenings. That's weekdays and weekends so I'm flexible.My schedule allows me to provide reliable care for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays, and I’ll always make sure your pet gets the attention, exercise, and love they deserve! I have a friendly dog of my own, but if your pet prefers to be the only animal or isn’t comfortable around other dogs, my parents are happy to watch him. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I’ll follow your pet’s routine, provide plenty of exercise, playtime, fresh water, and lots of love while keeping you updated with photos and messages.
“Samantha was absolutely wonderful with our dogs! They kept us fully in the loop throughout the whole stay, sending regular updates and photos that gave us real peace of mind. Seeing how happy and relaxed our pups looked in every picture made it so easy to enjoy our time away without worry. You can tell Samantha genuinely cares about the animals in their care. We will definitely be booking again!”

Katelyn was absolutely wonderful watching our two pups. As soon as they met her they loved her. We were so happy to have Katelyn watch them while we were out of town, she texted us pictures and updates each day which we loved. We would highly recommend Katelyn!
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!

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 , 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 .
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
