“Monica was absolutely fantastic! Our pups loved having her there, especially our dog who is terrified of fireworks. Knowing they were safe, comfortable, and well cared for gave us so much peace of mind. We will definitely be using Monica again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thank you, Monica! ❤️”
“Tonya T was amazing! It was her first time sitting with our 1 year old Jingles and she was very engaged in keeping Jingles busy and happy. He loved her. She texted us about what they were doing and sent pictures and videos. We will definitely rebook her!”
“This is our second time using Charles to watch our dog and he was fantastic yet again! My dog is so comfortable with him and we feel at ease leaving him with Charles.”
“We really appreciated the care our Rover sitter gave our two dogs while we were away overnight. He was available on short notice, responded promptly, and came by for a meet-and-greet very soon afterward, which we really appreciated. He communicated well throughout the stay and sent lots of pictures, giving us peace of mind while we were away. I had told him it was completely fine if he skipped our dogs' morning walk since we were only gone for one day, but he took them anyway, and I truly appreciated the extra effort. After we had already booked, I also asked if he could turn our leopard geckos' lights on and off, and he was happy to help with that as well. Most importantly, our two pups mean the world to us, so knowing they were well cared for gave us great peace of mind. They are an important part of our family, and we're very grateful for the excellent care and attention they received. Thank you, Jonathan!”
“Daela stayed with our dogs two nights in November. She provided us feedback frequently and answered our texts immediately Our pups were happy and health on our arrival home. We will use her again”
“I can't say enough good things about Charis! She watched my two large, active dogs while I was away, and I was beyond impressed. From the moment I met her, I knew my pups were in great hands. She was clean, interactive, and genuinely engaged with them, making sure they got plenty of exercise and playtime. Throughout my trip, she kept me informed with updates and photos, which put my mind at ease. It’s clear she has a real passion for animals. I came home to happy, well-cared-for dogs, and I couldn’t be more grateful. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter! Thank you, Charis!”
“I was very thankful I found Dina to watch my pup for a week, I had never left her for that long before. I got pictures on the regular and she kept me updated with what was happening. I am very grateful my dog had a friend to keep her company.”
“Laura is so good at what she does! I appreciated the photo and video updates each day that we were gone, not only because I missed my fur babies, but it was obvious they were being loved on while I was away. They really loved having her with them, especially during several monsoon storms that blew through. The house was in order and clean when we got home. We will definitely be calling on Laura in the future. She was a blessing to our family!”
About: I am an experienced pet caregiver, and in another life I was a veterinary assistant. I now work from home, so I want to spread love and care to all pets big and small! As of right now I am available every day, including weekends, from early mornings to late nights. I have reliable transportation to and from your homes as needed or in case of any emergency. I can offer long walks and play time for your furry friends! I can work with both dogs and cats who require medications such as insulin, transdermal medications, any other oral medications and other special care during home visits and boarding situations. I do not have any breed restrictions and hope to see dogs of all shapes and sizes, and I can walk even the heaviest of dogs. I currently work full time from home. I have a fenced in backyard for potty breaks and easily accessible walking trails by my home that I love utilizing. I live in a 3 bedroom home with my partner and a roommate. We are all animal lovers and love to play. While I am the main caregiver in the home, I am in competition for main cuddler.
About: I have owned and cared for many animals since I was a kid and have professionally cared for animals for 3 years. I currently have 3 feline fur babies aged 12, 10, and 3 years old. One is special needs. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, rodents, reptiles, and birds. This includes baby, special needs, and elderly animals of all sorts. Whatever needs your pets have, I can handle! I do have a semi-part time job as a server at a restaurant. I work 5-8 hour shifts about 25-35 hours a week. I work between the hours of 11am-9pm. I'm willing to work out scheduling with you and figure out how to best meet your pets needs! I cannot care for animals in my home due to owning 3 fur babies of my own and wouldn't want to stress them or your animals out. However I am able to come to your home or take them out to a park any time you need including overnights!
“Makena was great with our dogs! She was very communicative and easy to coordinate with. We really appreciated her taking such good care of our home and our dogs while we were away.”
“Maddy was great with Yuki and sent me updates while I was on my trip. It's always so nice to get updates instead of having to call/text to see how your dog is doing. Maddy took care of my place as well and everything looked great when I got back.”
“Kalin did a great job with our babies! She was communicative the whole time with lots of comments and photos showing us what they were doing during the day. She was even able to get daily medicine into a less-than-cooperative cat. We would love to book Kalin the next time our babies need care.”
“He does a great job. Always sends me pics twice a day, always plays with my pups and they always seem happy when I get home. Would definitely recommend him.”
“Rachel did a wonderful job with my dog Ollie! She's a good listener so she understands pet owners needs. She provides frequent updates and she made me feel safe about leaving my baby. I would definitely recommend her.”
“Angela has been fantastic, so patient with my anxious rescue dog. She handled some difficult situations professionally and kindly. She was great about communicating my pets’ needs, sending updates and pictures. My cat warmed up to her immediately. It was so comforting to feel I was leaving my pets in such reliable hands.”
“Seriously Pei-Wen is like the sweetest person alive! While our situation was less than ideal with cancelled flights, then rebooked middle of the night flights, and a rather large dog that was scared of her almost the entire time, she did amazing. She stuck the week out and let me spend time with my family. I came home to happy dogs, a clean house, and feeling refreshed from being able to get away. Grateful for her and Julius.”

Diego stayed at our house and took care of our 2 dogs for about a week and a half. Our dogs loved him! And he provided us regular pictures and updates everyday which we really appreciate. He was super responsive and followed everything we asked of him. Overall excellent dog sitter and will book with him in the future.

FAQs for House Sitting - El Mirage
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in El Mirage on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 3,785 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across El Mirage. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 El Mirage 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 El Mirage 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 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!
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in El Mirage. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
