“Savannah is the best! She is so sweet and took such good care of my 10 weeks old puppy for 3 days despite the puppy shananigans😅 . She has been patient with him and we would definitely have her again for our fur baby next time.”
“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.”
“If I could give her more than five stars I would! She was very nice and very professional! She had very very good communication and sent photos of pets often! If I need to book a dog sitter again on rover it will definitely be through her if she is available. Very much recommend Mya!”
“Annette was amazing! It was obvious that she took good care of my pup! She took great photos and snuggled with him! He is an anxious pup but he loved her from the start. Would highly recommend and will definitely be reaching out for her to watch him again!”
“Elena was great with my temperamental dog. She always communicates and is very helpful with everything. I really appreciated all she did to keep my pets happy while I was out of town.”
“Brianna did a great job watching our house and elderly pup! She had great communication and we appreciated the frequent updates and images. Our house looked just as good as we left it, nothing out of the ordinary. We’ll definitely be using her in the future!”
About: I've taken care of a variety of pets since I was young. I have 5 years experience with taking care of both hairless and furry dogs. Through my own dog and watching my friends pets. I have handled anxious and hyper dogs before and will try and make your baby as comfortable as possible. I have experience with exotic pets such as rodents, birds and reptiles and can care for them during your time away as well. I am currently a university student and have weekends and various days during the week free to take care of yourself pets while you are gone. I can stay with your pets all day or do check ins twice a day. I am an attentive sitter and try to let dogs out every hour while making sure in the hot arizona weather that they don't burn their paws. I am also glad to do excursion dog sitting and can take them out for hikes and long walks as the weather cools down.
“Maddison was an excellent house and dog sitter! She was very easy to communicate with, took great care of our dogs and left our house in amazing shape! We will definitely use her again!”
“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!”
“Lily was so wonderful with our boys. She took them on walks every day and left us the most adorable collection of information from her stay and photos of the dogs.”
“Sara is absolute ROCKSTAR. Our Mookie absolutely loves her. He had his 2nd stay with her and we could tell he had a blast. He normally doesn’t eat the most consistent but he did with Sara. We loved all the updates and pictures we got through the stay. Sara always leaves our home like no one stayed there and we will continue to use her for all of Mookie’s stays. As a French bulldog owner it can be very hard to find the right “fit” but we know we have it with Sara!!”
“Mia went above and beyond housesitting for us and took amazing care of our 2 dogs! Hesitant to even write this review because I don’t want to share her!! She sent lots of updates and communicated super well, we definitely felt like our home and dogs were in great hands during our trip :))”
About: I am a Christian lady who has worked at the Humane Society. In addition, I did pet sitting for a number of years in New Jersey. At the Humane Society, I walked dogs, gave medication, fed and watered them for 1 year. I can care for pets 24/7. I have no family members who need me. I am able to stay over night with your dog or cat. I also do House Watch services like plant watering, taking in mail, checking bath room and kitchen for leaks, etc. I can only take care of your dog or cat in YOUR home. I will gladly drive to your home or apartment if you live in Tucson, Arizona.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Drexel Heights is $33 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $61 per night. 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.

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.
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 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 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.

- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
