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.
“I couldn’t be more pleased with the care provided by Chuck this weekend to Finn and Jade. They were happy and healthy and obviously well cared for! Everything went exactly as planned! Thank you for everything and we look forward to your next visit!”
About: I’m so grateful to have always been surrounded by furry family members as my household has never been without the wonderful presence of dogs, cats, or even various rodents/reptiles/birds throughout the years 😂 So, while 20+ years of personal experience may technically be accurate, I’d say that a majority of my experience was gained within the past 8 years: learning and experiencing responsibility, hardship, and companionship through my own kitties and doggos, volunteering at cat shelters, and overnight dog sitting for family members with variously aged pets. Through these opportunities, I was able to gain experience with a wide range of pets from energetic puppies that love to chew and play all day to senior dogs that may need meds given or diapers changed and shy/scared kitties that need lots of patience and kindness to playful cats that want constant attention and affection :) I'm excited to become part of your pets' lives whether that consists of play time and pets during a check-in or cuddles on the couch while I keep them company overnight! I would love to become your pet’s new best friend! I work part time at a couple of jobs, but that won’t stop me from doing whatever I can to fit you and your fur baby’s into my schedule ☺️✨ I have experience with many types of dogs and cats through growing up surrounded by them, getting to meet many others in cat shelters while volunteering, and family members' homes during overnight dog sitting. As a result, I am very used to cleaning litter boxes or various pet messes, sticking to feeding, med, or bed time routines and schedules, and dealing with pets that may not always be on their best behavior or are nervous meeting a stranger. Other than that, I am quick to reply and can give you frequent updates with pictures on the well-being of your loved ones!
“Ava was great! Communicative and attentive, she took great care of my 3 cats. They’re shy and timid with new people and she was able to get them to warm up to her a bit for some snuggles and playtime. I’d definitely use her services again!”
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! I’m Sammie, a veterinary technician with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats. I’ve loved animals my whole life and treat every pet like family. I’m comfortable administering oral medications and caring for puppies, senior pets, and anxious animals. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, or extra attention, I’ll provide safe, loving, and reliable care. I’ll also send plenty of photo updates so you always know your pet is happy and in good hands! 🐾 I work full-time at an animal hospital, but I’m available before and after work, on weekends, and for overnight house sitting. I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, potty breaks, and lots of love while you’re away Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, medications, and any special instructions. I’ll treat both your pet and your home with the same care and respect I would my own, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout each visit
“We've hired Amasiah a few times now and our dogs love his calm demeanor! it’s very important to us that someone doesn’t rile up the dogs when coming by to keep a good environment to keep structure between our dogs. He's great at following our strict instructions and is comfortable with our large Malamute. We are very grateful for him working with our last-minute schedules and plan to hire him going forward.”
“Maddie was absolutely the best choice for a care taker for my babies. She played with them, sent sweet pictures of them to me daily. They absolutely adore her and she will forever be our person!”
“Christina is so sweet and more importantly is great with our cats! I know they are always in good hands with her and I feel comfortable being away when she watches them.”
About: I’ve taken care of many different types of pets since I was about 9 or 10, I love animals so much, I always connect with them on a deep level and create unforgettable bonds with them. I’d love to be able to care for your pet when you need it. Your pet would be in the best hands at my home ! I'm available all week I don't work so I'm always here to tend to the dogs and make sure they get what they need . I live in a house with a back yard ans a nearby dog park, i have my baby girl Nona, she's about 5 years old and i take her to the dog park for the restroom or let her out in my back yard which is pretty spacious and would do the same for your baby. The dogs are allowed on my bed and can explore my house as they please, i do have Nona but can separate them if you prefer your dog to be alone! my dog is very friendly but also are kennel trained and I won’t mind giving your dog some alone time with me :) I love my dog with all my heart and would love to have her meet yours and create a bond💗 And for your home I’d follow the routine you normally do with your dogs!:)
“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!”
“Sabrena was very patient and receptive to our routine and each of my pups’ needs. My anxious dog quickly acclimated to her and both dogs were in safe care. Very pleased with her communication and timeliness!”
About: I worked in vet med for the past 6 years. I am currently taking a break from it to open up my schedule to do more at home pet sitting. I can administer medications (injectable, oral and topical), I love all age stages from babies to seniors! Young, old, spicy and sweet. I always make sure to let owners know what my schedule is looking like and if that is going to work with their pets routine. I stick to the routine the pet is used to as much as possible. Any medications, sleeping arrangements, even down to what kind of blankey they get tucked in with at night.

I’m hoping to be more involved in what i love ! not only is this great experience for my future but it’s also something I genuinely enjoy doing i have pretty open availability because i’m online school but i do have animals of my own to tend to, i just prefer not crazy long hours :)! I like to take care of others animals like I do my own when it comes to maintaining a clean , safe and fun environment. I already have knowledge from kennel technician job so I know what’s expected.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - El Mirage
Sophia went WAY above and beyond what we asked of her with no questions asked. We were honestly expecting to return to a horrifically dirty house because of our 4 animals after a week! We returned to an almost spotless house with many countermeasures put in place to prevent our animals from destroying everything! Thanks Sophia!

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 .
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.
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 .
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.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
