About: I’ve been caring for all kinds of furry animals for several years and absolutely love spending time with them. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, bunnies, guinea pigs, and other furry companions, and I’m comfortable adapting to each animal’s unique needs, personality, and routine. I’m experienced with feeding, walking, playtime, cleaning, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to care for their pets, and I always treat every animal like my own. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet have a positive, stress-free experience. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member soon! I’m available every day for pet care and would love the opportunity to spend time with your pets! I have a daytime work schedule during the week, but for house sitting, I’m able to stay in your home, care for your pets in the morning before heading out, and return after work to continue their routine and spend quality time with them. I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual schedule and make sure they continue receiving the care and attention they’re used to. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy, and I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I know every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and little quirks. Whether your pet loves going on walks, playing with their favorite toys, cuddling on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I’m happy to meet them where they’re comfortable. I’ll make sure your pets receive consistent care throughout your time away, including meals, fresh water, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and plenty of attention and affection. I’m also attentive to keeping their environment clean and making sure everything is left just as I found it. When you’re away, I want your pets to feel as comfortable and secure as possible in their own home. I understand that leaving your pets with someone new can be stressful, so I do my best to provide reliable communication, regular updates, and lots of reassurance. My goal is for you to feel confident knowing your pets are being cared for, loved, and treated like they’re my own while you’re away. 🐾💕 When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding, fresh water, walks, litter box cleaning if needed, playtime, and giving them plenty of attention. I also make sure the home stays neat and send updates so owners know their pets are doing well.
“My cat had a health emergency 2 days before I had a trip planned - Sabrina agreed to house sit for me last minute and give him meds 4 times a day. She is an angel! She totally saved me in this stressful situation. She took great care of both my cats, gave the sick one all his doses, and communicated well with me about his health status the whole time! My cats and I love her!!!! She's so sweet and caring and I instantly trusted her with my pets and she did NOT disappoint!!!”
“Sydney was punctual, attentive & took great care of my girl Lillie. She cared for & left my home cIean. I will definitely look to have her as my go to sitter.”
“Christina did a wonderful job with our dog and 2 cats. She was professional, arranging a meetup and taking seriously all our pets needs. She went above and beyond to make our pets and ourselves feel secure. She provided regular updates and took plenty of photos. She kept our house clean and even provided toys for the pets. We recommend Christina for anyone needing her services.”
“Lisa was wonderful with Willow! She sent frequent updates and followed her care instructions perfectly. Willow was in great spirits when we returned. Will definitely book again!”
“Samantha was an amazing dog sitter. She sent lots of pictures, walked them, and gave them all the attention they needed. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing that my fur babies were in good hands.”
“Amazing service. Oliver stayed in my residence to take care of my two cats for a long term stay. He sent regular photo updates (as requested), was quick to communicate any updates or questions, and generally kept the place standing and clean while I was gone. Very trustworthy and reliable. 10/10 would book again for short and long term services!”
“Denise was awesome taking care of our home and Izzy while we were on vacation. She sent updates and communicated and even helped Izzy when our pest control showed up unexpectedly. She took care of all our plants and made sure Izzy was loved while we were on it of the country.”
“Xavier was fantastic. Not only with our dogs but with flexibility. He went over and above to work with our shifting schedule while I was out of town and work with my partner on timeframes. One of our dogs can sometimes be socially anxious and aggressive and within 5 minutes of being here Xavier would have him calmed. We look forward to booking Xavier again.”
“DruAnn was amazing to communicate with and she took incredible care of our pup and home. She sent us pics and checked in while we were away which was so nice! She was wonderful to work with! We highly recommend her!!! Thank you DruAnn!”
“Mikayla made me feel so comfortable when entrusting her to watch our boy Banjo! He struggles a bit with separation anxiety and new people but Mikayla just had some way of reassuring him & he did so good! She administered several medications for Banjo as well. Highly recommend her for any needs!”
“Kat took amazing care of our pup while we were away! She went above and beyond to keep her happy and relaxed—giving her massages, making sure she got plenty of exercise, and even playing calming music to help her feel at ease. It was clear our dog was in loving, attentive hands the whole time. We came home to a relaxed and happy pup. Highly recommend Kat for anyone looking for a thoughtful, reliable sitter!”
About: I've been a dog owner for 15 years. Friends trust me with their dogs and have even left me to care for their fur babies for up for 2 1/2 weeks. I have a large fenced yard with enough space to run and play! I'm a work from home graphic designer with flexible hours so I can give lots of TLC to your dog. I work from home full-time with flexible hours, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pup! I'm available for boarding on weekends and weekdays after 2pm... I have large fenced yard for running and playing. My friendly little dog can keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed.
“Jewel took care of our two dogs in our home for 11 days while we were out of town recently. We have engaged numerous sitters over the nearly 20 years that we've had dogs, and Jewel is clearly at the top of the list. In fact, we've already rebooked her for a long trip in June. The booking process was easy and she responded promptly. Communication with her through Rover was very good. We had a meet and greet, and then she arrived on time the morning of our departure on time and ready to go. Throughout our trip, she kept us posted almost daily on how things were going. Since one of our dogs slept with her nightly and the other frequently, obviously they "took" well to her. As rescues, and one an 21-month old male who is still very much a puppy, our dogs can be challenging in some ways, but Jewel seems to have "gone with the flow" of their lives, understood that there are always unknowns about rescues, and done very well with them. When we got home, our dogs were happy and our house was in order, as she had washed the sheets and towels she used, cleaned various surfaces, taken out the trash and perishables, poop and recycles, watered the house plants, and gone beyond what we normally expect of a house and dog sitter. Jewel is professional, experienced, personable and trustworthy. We certainly have no hesitation recommending her to others.”
About: I’ve taken care of all types of animals but I’m here to pet sit cats and dogs. Have plenty of free times on my hands to help you look after your fur baby. I’m available most weeks and weekend. Occasionally I leave town on weekends or longer weekends but I’m in the Tucson area for most of my time. I take care of a clients pet like it’s my own. I would adjust myself to the pets and clients needs to make their fur baby feel as comfortable as possible.
“Scottie was fantastic! I reached out to her only a couple of days before the start of the sit because my scheduled sitter canceled due to a family emergency. She was incredibly responsive, kind and accommodating. The pets immediately loved her. She provided excellent care and sent many updates/photos. Incredibly grateful! We will definitely invite her back for future sits!”
About: We recently lost our beloved dog, and due to frequent travel we are unable to get another for a little while. We would love to take care of your pets as we would our own, so you can rest easy that they will be cared for while you are away. We both have many years of experience caring for pets, and are comfortable with all sizes, old and young. I work from home during the week, and can provide lots of love and outdoor time as needed. We are active people, and are happy to take your pets on hikes and runs if that’s their thing, or we can keep it mellow. If your pet stays with us, we have a fully fenced yard with a shaded porch area that they are welcome to hang out in when it’s cooler outside. We don’t have any other pets on the property, so can give your pets all of our attention.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Drexel Heights
Pamela is a saint! ...Trustworthy, compassionate/patient, and WORTH IT! My dog doesn’t make friends easily. Pamela listened to and implemented ALL the little things that made our 17yr old male dog relax at home with his regular routine for 9 days without his family! He’s gradually losing his eyesight/hearing and takes medication for his joints to reduce inflammation. I had ring cameras in the home and saw the love and patience all day and night. We walked into a clean home with our old soul at ease and extremely happy! She even got our dog to make an extra friend to keep him company per my request! I actually look forward to not being scared to leave for a night or two in the future knowing how well taken care of he will be:) Pamela, thank you for spending every night with Theodore and for texting me pictures/communicating with me each time I reached out! We are forever grateful for you because we booked you last minute and it worked out so well!

The average cost of House Sitting in Drexel Heights is $31 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $40 per night.

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 Drexel Heights 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 Drexel Heights 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Drexel Heights 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.
