“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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: 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.
“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!”
About: In high school I held a job as a vet technician for 2+ years. I’ve owned and trained two dogs (husky and lab, currently not with me) I have dog sat on and off for 15 years. I love to stay active, so whether it’s a walk or run, your pup will certainly meet their daily step goals. I work two part time jobs and come home a lot during the day. Both of my work schedules are flexible and allow me to create my own hours. I live in a condo with an enclosed patio, which makes entering my home safe for coming and going. Pets cannot dash without meeting a closed gate. When carrying for pets at clients home, I am sure to follow house rules.
“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.”
“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!”
“Angelina was fantastic with Kobe. She showed up right on time, communicated clearly throughout, and made the entire booking process easy. Kobe was excited to see her — he had pep in his step and was eager for his walk, which says a lot about how comfortable he felt with her. She was respectful of my home, fed Kobe his breakfast, and cleaned up afterward. He even did his little “crazy dog” zoomies with her, followed by cuddle time, which is always a sign he feels safe and happy. Overall, Kobe was relaxed, content, and completely at ease in her care. I would welcome Angelina back to watch my baby and housesit anytime. Truly a lovely experience.”
About: I have volunteered at the Flagstaff high country humane center and have taken dogs out for walks and days. I’ve also fostered many kitten through them as well and watched that process. I also currently have a 5 year told German Shepherd, I’ve had her since she was a puppy so I know my way around “smaller” louder dogs. And lastly I have experience with bunnies, my sister keeps two free roaming bunnies in her home Pet care fits in my schedule because I’m new to the area, I get off work much earlier than your typical 9-5 and my weekends are always free I currently have my own dog in my home. I have all the necessary toys, dog beds, entertainment to keep a pet busy and safe
“Shelley was and is fantastic. Amazing with animals, highly trusted with our high-end home, and wonderful with communication, photos, cleanliness, everything. Both dogs and cats loved her. Highly recommend and will book again!”
“Ashlyn was amazing with both of my pups. She took the absolute best care of them I could ask for. I will absolutely call her again and I recommend that you do too!”
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.

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.

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.

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.
