“Krista was wonderful with our two tabby’s. They both are usually shy around new people, however her loving energy won them both over immediately. I highly recommend Krista, she went above and beyond caring for our cats.”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for neighbors and Friends when either out of town or just needed some help. Would walk my neighbor's dog every Saturday for a couple years from being a puppy all the way to adulthood. Have watched my sister's cats while she's out of town and have watched neighbors cats while she was deployed for the army I'm currently not working, waiting for acceptance to get into electrician school. So plenty of free time throughout the week or weekends and pretty much available whenever is needed I can easily crate your dog or cat if needed as well as playtime, walks or feeding as necessary. can follow your instructions for what you are wanting a sitter to do

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up with dogs and now have two of my own, which has taught me how important consistency, patience, and love are in caring for pets. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, administering basic care, and giving dogs the attention they deserve. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away I have a flexible schedule and spend much of my time helping my boyfriend with home renovation projects, which allows me to be available throughout the day for pet care. Because my schedule can be adjusted as needed, I can provide plenty of attention, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship. I understand how important routine is for pets and will do my best to keep them comfortable and happy while you’re away. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. I have experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities, and I always prioritize their safety and comfort. I follow each pet’s routine closely, provide lots of attention and exercise, and keep owners updated with messages and photos. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I treat them with the same love and care I give my own dogs.

“Addyson took care of our 2 chihuahuas while we were away. She did a great job of making sure they had everything they needed. She kept us updated every visit and was always quick to respond. When we got home we had two adorable drawings of each dog and detailed puppy report cards. Thank you Addyson for all the help and love given to our little ones!”

About: I’ve been around dogs all my life! I love to be active and give lots of love to all animals. I have experience in dog sitting (at their house), daycare for dogs and boarding dogs in my home. I ensure your dogs safety, comfortably, and access to food, water, and occasional treats (unless directed otherwise). I have a senior (shnoodle) dog, and have had him since he was a puppy and I was 10 years old. He’s my emotional support animal and has moved across country with me a few times! He’s my boy. I’m currently working part time during the week! It’s just a few hours a day so I have lots of time in the mornings and afternoons to take care of your pet(s). I know how hard it is to trust someone with your dog. I want to provide a safe place where you can feel comfortable leaving your pet. We have a fenced yard, with a pool (for those water dogs!) There will be access to food and water at all times, unless directed otherwise. I walk everyday, and will go on walks with my dog or yours, as long as the weather permits! I will keep you in the loop while your pet is in my care, sending occasional updates and potentially lots of photos!

I understand feline behavior and ensure cats have a clean litter area, proper nutrition, and a stress-free environment.

About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for more than 30 years. Over the years, I’ve owned and cared for dogs, cats, bunnies, and various reptiles, and I absolutely love birds and would be thrilled to care for them as well. I also have more than 20 years of pet-sitting experience for family and friends, including traveling out of state specifically to care for their pets. I’m also what I lovingly call a “crazy pet mom.” My own pets are truly family, and I take their health, happiness, safety, and longevity very seriously. I’m passionate about preventative and holistic approaches to pet wellness and am extremely thoughtful about everything from nutrition and exercise to enrichment, routines, environment, and overall quality of life. I bring that same level of attentiveness to the animals entrusted to my care while always respecting and following each owner’s individual preferences and instructions. I have a special appreciation for senior pets and understand how much patience, observation, and attention they can require. My senior dog, Ziggy, lived to 13, and our cat lived to an amazing 20 years old. Those experiences taught me a lot about adapting care as pets age and noticing the small changes that can tell you how an animal is feeling. I’m very comfortable administering medications, following special diets and detailed routines, cleaning up accidents, and caring for pets who need a little extra attention. I also have a deep understanding and patience for anxious pets. I never want an animal to feel rushed or forced to interact. I’m happy to give them the time and space they need to become comfortable with me. I’m naturally extremely observant and detail-oriented. I pay attention to eating and drinking, behavior, bathroom habits, energy levels, and anything else you ask me to monitor. And please don’t ever feel like you’re giving me “too many” instructions. I’m that pet parent too! Detailed care instructions are welcomed and appreciated. Safety is especially important to me. On walks, I’m very aware of our surroundings and cautious about what pets encounter or pick up along the way. I’m an extremely active person and regularly walk 4–5 miles, so high-energy dogs are absolutely welcome. Whether your pet needs a slow, sniff-filled stroll or a long walk to burn off some energy, I’m happy to accommodate their normal routine. I work from home, which gives me tremendous flexibility for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting throughout the day. For pets staying with me, outdoor time is always supervised. They’ll have access to a well-secured yard with a secured pool area, along with plenty of opportunities for walks and attention throughout the day. I also understand that inviting someone into your home requires trust. I will treat your home, belongings, privacy, and surroundings with the same respect I would expect someone to show mine. I work from home full-time, which gives me a tremendous amount of flexibility throughout the day and allows pet care to fit very naturally into my routine. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, or simply spending some extra time with a pet who doesn’t like being alone for long periods. I’m also a very active person and walking is already a big part of my lifestyle. A 4–5 mile walk isn’t unusual for me, so I’m especially happy to accommodate active or high-energy dogs who need more than a quick trip around the block. When pets are staying with me, I’m home throughout the day, so they’ll receive plenty of attention and supervised outdoor time rather than being left alone for long stretches. I have a well-secured yard with a secured pool area, and I’m happy to maintain each pet’s normal feeding, walking, medication, play, and rest schedule as closely as possible. Because my schedule is flexible, I can adapt my day around the needs and routine of the pets in my care. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, my goal is to keep their routine as familiar and comfortable as possible. I know every pet has their own personality, preferences, quirks, and schedule, so I’m happy to follow detailed instructions. There is truly no such thing as “too much information” when it comes to your pet! In my home, I work remotely and am home throughout the day, so pets receive plenty of attention, companionship, potty breaks, playtime, and exercise. Outdoor time is supervised in my well-secured yard, and the pool area is secured as well. I’m very active and happy to provide longer or more frequent walks for pets who need them, while seniors or lower-energy pets can enjoy a much slower pace. In a client’s home, I’m extremely respectful of both your pet’s routine and your space. I’ll follow your normal feeding schedule, walks, medications, special diets, playtime, bedtime routines, and any household instructions you provide. I’m also naturally very observant, so I pay attention to changes in appetite, water intake, bathroom habits, energy, behavior, or anything else that seems unusual. Safety is always a priority. I’m cautious on walks, attentive to what pets may try to eat or get into, and careful with doors, gates, leashes, yards, and surroundings. I also have a lot of patience with anxious or shy pets and will never force interaction. I’m happy to let them warm up to me on their own terms.

About: Hi, fellow dog lovers! 🐾 Dogs have been a part of my life since childhood, and I’ve had the joy of caring for dogs throughout the years, including my own beloved beagle for 13 years. I truly love their companionship, unique personalities, and the happiness they bring to everyday life. I’m excited to turn my lifelong love of dogs into an opportunity to help other dog owners. Whether your pup needs a fun walk, some fresh air and exercise, or loving care while you’re away, I’ll treat your furry family member with kindness, patience, and attention. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I’ll do my best to make every walk enjoyable, follow your instructions carefully, and keep you updated so you can feel confident that your dog is in good hands. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your four-legged best friend! 🐶 I have a flexible, open schedule and can accommodate a variety of dog-walking and pet-care needs throughout the week, including weekends. I’m happy to coordinate with your schedule to find convenient times for your pup. My regular Tuesday and Thursday exercise classes are my only recurring commitments, and I’m generally available during daytime and early evening hours. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities! I live in an established residential community with sidewalks, walking paths, and numerous nearby parks with grassy areas for dogs to enjoy. Two parks are just steps from my home, and Pinnacle Dog Park is also within walking distance. My home features a secure front entrance with both a standard door and a sturdy metal security gate, plus an enclosed patio surrounded by tall cinder block walls. I take care to prevent pets from slipping outside and will always follow your instructions for leashes, harnesses, walks, and your dog’s individual needs, along with applicable community rules. I’d also be happy to arrange a meet-and-greet with you and your dog before the first booking so we can get acquainted and you can feel comfortable leaving your furry family member in my care. Your dog’s well-being, safety, and happiness will always be a priority!

About: I’ve been around dogs pretty much my whole life and have been helping take care of them since I was a kid. Right now I have a 5 momth old miniature Dachshund puppy and a 1 year old australian shepherd , so I’m very used to high energy, routines, and training. I try to stick to each pet’s normal schedule so they feel comfortable while you’re away. I’ve worked with puppies on things like potty training and basic commands, and I’m also patient with older dogs who need a slower pace or meds. I’ll keep you updated with pics and messages too so you know how everything’s going. I’m home full time, so pet care fits really easily into my daily routine. I already spend my days taking care of my own dogs , feeding them, training, going on walks, and taking trips to the dog park. I have a 5 month old puppy and a 1 year old dog, so I’m used to staying on top of routines and giving them lots of attention throughout the day. Because of that, any pet I’m watching gets plenty of time, care, and interaction instead of being left alone for long periods. In my home, pets get a lot of attention since I’m home most of the day. I have a fenced yard for safe outdoor time, and two dogs of my own who can keep your dog company if they enjoy being around others. I always pay attention to each dog’s personality and comfort level, though, and can separate them if needed. I keep a consistent routine with feeding, walks, playtime, and rest. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping things as normal as possible for the pet. I follow all instructions closely and make sure they’re getting enough exercise, attention, and care. I also keep owners updated so they know everything’s going smoothly.

“It is very obvious she knows cats. She has great communication and was actually able to get our skiddish cat to come out and eat her food with her there (and also get a picture). Not only did she make us comfortable but our cats felt safe with her. Definitely will consider her for the future.”

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.

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: Hi! I’m a dedicated animal lover and experienced pet caregiver with a home full of personality including my two Shar-Peis (Dior and Hercules) and two tortoises(Cleo and Franklin). Caring for my special needs Shar-Pei Hercules has taught me patience, attentiveness, and how important individualized care is for every pet. I know pets are family, and I treat every animal with the same love, safety, and attention I give my own. Whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, routine, or extra patience, I’m committed to making them feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I work part-time (8 days per month), which allows me to dedicate a large portion of my time to pet care. My daily routine already revolves around caring for my own pets, including two Shar-Peis—one with special needs—and two tortoises. Because of this, I’m experienced in maintaining consistent schedules, providing attentive supervision, and adapting care based on each animal’s individual needs. I’m able to offer dependable, flexible care and give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide a loving, calm, and attentive environment where pets are treated like family. I understand that every animal has different needs, personalities, and routines, and I make it a priority to follow their schedule as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. In my home, pets receive plenty of attention, supervised play, potty breaks, exercise, and affection. I have experience caring for my own two Shar-Peis, including one with special needs, which has taught me patience, awareness, and the importance of individualized care. I also care for two tortoises, giving me experience with animals beyond dogs as well. I’m attentive to behavior, eating habits, and overall comfort, and I’m happy to follow any feeding, medication, or care instructions you provide. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and at home while giving you peace of mind while you’re away.

Krista always does a fantastic job taking care of our cat while we are away. She also goes above and beyond when we need special help (while we were way on our last trip, she actually dropped something off for us). She is very pleasant to work with, responsible, responsive, and dependable! We could not ask for a better person to provide care in our absence!

Lyla is the best pet sitter I have ever had. She went above and beyond to take very good care of my cat Alexia for 30 days. My cat is 18 years old, she previously had two seizures about seven months ago, and she had another episode while we were out of town. Lyla, acted very professional and cared really for Alexia. She called me to inform me, she called the Vet clinic, and the emergency pet hospital. She stayed longer with Alexia to make sure she was feeling better after the episode, and she helped her recover and calm down. Lyla, treated my cat and my house with a great respect, Alexia looked cleaned and happy and the house was tidy and clean. I will hire Lyla again and again, she is very nice, professional and reliable. She could literally handle any issues and she is willing to do anything to make your babies happy. Thank you very much Lyla for being such a great person.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Cave Creek

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Cave Creek is $24 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $44 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 5,630 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Cave Creek. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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 .

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Cave Creek. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.

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.
