About: I've sat for dogs of all kinds over the years as well as caring for my own. Perfectly comfortable with anything from chihuahuas to pit bulls. I currently work part time with 5 hour shifts and a flexible schedule. There's plenty of wiggle room for last minute appointments and it's easy to clear space for advanced booking. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and personality and I've dogsat all over the valley. You're dog is good to go if they need lots of play time or just some cuddles.
About: I provide specialized care for all dogs including bully breeds. You know, those hard to place high energy, breed/mutts that may not get along with others. I have a secure backyard, a dog door and real grass. Tired dogs are good dogs so we will play, play, play! I also provide specialized care for dogs with medical challenges, I like naps too:) I've been training animals and educating children for 35 years and offer private bookings though the prices vary from those listed. Whether private or shared, if you have more than one pup, all are welcome. Shared bookings are for friendly dogs only:) I am currently available to spend most of my day with your precious pups. As a former teacher and dog rescuer, I found it difficult to find dog sitters I could trust to devote their time and good consideration to my babies. When I left teaching I became the pet sitter I always wanted. I love them like they are my own, and spoil them like Grandma does;) My yard is fenced and secure. I have a dog door and grass to snoop. Maricopa Lake is close so we can walk, heat permitting.

About: Hi my name is Maria, and I am the proud owner of two fur babies; a pomapoo named Oreo, and a lab named brownie. I absolutely love animals and I take care of my friends dogs whenever she is out of town. I have two kiddos who are pet lovers as well. I like to exercise, so your fur baby will get the daily exercise they need along with lots of play time and cuddles in between. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies. I currently have full availability for dog walking and drop in visits in the early AM and PM visits. I am also available on weekends. I love getting to know your fur baby, and making them feel as comfortable as possible while in my care. I will keep you updated by pictures or videos.

About: I have grown up around all types of animals. It is my passion to care for them and make sure they feel loved. I go the extra mile to make sure everything is good! :) I am currently unemployed, so I have a lot of time to care for pets. Of course not 24/7 because I need to love and care for my Marty! But, my availability is pretty open. I don’t currently allow other pets to come into my home, but I am able to stop by your home, if needed to check on/feed the pets.

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was a child. We’ve always had pets growing up. I actually had the responsibility of having my own hamster at 10 years old. I currently have a very flexible schedule as I study for a license so what better way to earn little than to be around pets!!!! My pets are very spoiled! My cats have their own room as well as the whole house. Although my 4 pound Chihuahua is queen of the house
“Friendly and professional service. Good with communicating arrival times, any issues and status updates on the walking / feeding went of my dog. Would recommend and use Kathy’s services again.”
“Stephanie is the BEST! She accommodating, communicative, trustworthy, and so kind! Our pups love her and are always so happy when we arrive back home. It’s refreshing to know our dogs are in such good care, in the comfort of their own home (instead of a daycare). We appreciate everything you do for our pups (and for us, too), Stephanie!”
“Leslie is so great! She fed and administered meds to our two kitties for four days while we were away on a trip. We could tell right away at our meet & greet that she is very good with animals. Even our normally shy / skittish kitty came out of the back room and went right up to Leslie to greet her. When we got home my wife commented on how good our one kitty who receives meds looked, and they both were happy and relaxed; none of the complaining ‘I’m mad because you’ve been gone!’ Meowing that we used to get upon returning. Thank you, Leslie! Highly recommended, and we definitely will be booking her again if we can!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in El Mirage is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $29 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 November 2026, there are 5,365 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across El Mirage. 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.
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 El Mirage 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!
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.
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.
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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in El Mirage with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
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.
