“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!”
“Monica was GREAT! She showed up a few minutes early which I appreciated since it was our first meeting. She was organized and listened (without judgment) about my quirky Tibetan Terrier who has separation anxiety. She sent photos during the short visit, which wasn’t really necessary but showed her diligence and caring. Will definitely ask her back!”
“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!”
“Daela has a big heart for animals! She is loving, responsible, and thoughtful. She took great care of our little 2 year old dog, who we left for the first time in her life. Our dog had anxiety and was so uncertain at first. Daela was patient, giving Goldie her space while always being available to her. I would highly recommend her!”
“Kalin is the BEST sitter when it comes to my babies. She always is checking in, sending pictures, and giving them good care. I would 100000000% book with her again and she will ALWAYS be my go to sitter!!!!!! Thank you for everything you do Kalin!!”
“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’ve always had a dog since I was a little kid. And I make sure to give time and care to my current dog, Zelda. A border collie-poodle mix. Whether it was taking her on walks or keeping her company during the fireworks, I’m there to give her all my love. And I promise to make sure the needs of your dog are met, too. (However, I will not accept last-minute bookings. Bookings must be made two weeks in advance). I’m currently a college student, but I have most of my classes online. Which means I’m usually in the house, at my dog’s side. So you can expect the same. Weekends work best for me, but overall, my schedule is pretty flexible. I have a small yard, but there’s a little park area in front of my neighborhood that I can take your dog to if they want to feel the grass beneath their paws. My backyard is fenced, and my dog is more than friendly and welcoming. She gets along with others very well. And of course, I have a crate if that is preferred.
About: I have years of experience caring for pets of all ages and breeds! I am animal lover who is also patient with pets that can be shy at first. I love going for walks and going to parks with pups that are into that and I'm also good for a snuggle with the older pets. I'm very clean, reliable and trustworthy as a house guest. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies!! I work a part-time job in Surprise Thursday-Saturday. My shifts are typically only 5-6 hours long, so I'm very available to care for your fur babies! My other job is also part time and is remote so I am home with my computer much of the time. I'm very outdoorsy so spending time in the yard, going for walks and playing at the park is almost as much fun for me as it is for your pup! My dog, that has passed away, was a runner so I understand the importance of utilizeing a good leash and making sure all gates and doors are secured properly.
“She was absolutely wonderful with our babies! We booked her for four days to watch our two dogs and cat, and they all loved her! She was very patient with all of our instructions, kept our house clean and tidy, and was super accommodating to everything we asked of her. She was also great about communicating with us, followed up with us before and after the stay, and sent us lots of pictures, which we really appreciated. It made us feel so comfortable knowing our pets were happy and well taken care of while we were away. You can really tell she genuinely cares about the animals she watches. We would definitely have her pet sit for us again!!”
“Kathleen was amazing! She took such great care of our dogs. She was reliable and communicative. We appreciated the picture updates. We came home to two happy pups and a clean, tidy house as if we never left! Would absolutely book with Kathleen again.”
“Maddie was great with Jade over the 11 days and nights with Jade! And even helped me out when I had to go out of town for a few days after returning for only one day. It was so reassuring to know that Jade had company during the day and especially overnight when cats do get lonely and sad. I loved the photos and videos she sent throughout the day too! I am sure Jade missed Maddie already!”
“Ava was reliable, communicative and trustworthy. My house was left very clean, and the dogs seemed well taken care of, happy and at ease when I got home. I will definitely be hiring Ava again in the future”
“Hayley was amazing with our dog Nina! She stayed at our home with her for two nights, and we felt completely comfortable knowing she was in such good hands. She was caring, reliable, and took great care of both our pup and our home. We came back to a happy girl and everything just as we left it. We would absolutely recommend Hayley and will definitely use her again! 🐾❤️”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 18 years, starting with family pets and continuing with my own dog for the past 8 years. I also frequently help care for pets belonging to family and friends. I truly love animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. During drop-in visits, I make sure your pet gets plenty of love, attention, and care while keeping their routine comfortable and familiar. Please let me know anything your furry friend might need to feel comfortable while you’re away and I am happy to make it happen! I plan my day around pet care, making time for walks, feedings, and check-ins. I keep a consistent schedule so each pet gets reliable, focused attention. I follow each pet’s routine exactly—feeding, walks, play, and quiet time. I keep their space clean, safe, and comfortable and give consistent updates for peace of mind.
“Sydney was wonderful with Daisey. This was her first time staying in our home, and she did such a great job caring for Daisey and making sure she was happy and comfortable. I felt completely at ease knowing Daisey was in such caring hands. I would definitely recommend Sydney and will happily have her care for Daisey again.”
“We had a great experience! Our dog was so well taken care of and got lots of playtime and attention while we were away. Jace also did an amazing job taking care of our chickens, which we really appreciated. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing all of our animals were in such good hands. We came home to happy pets and would definitely book with Kacee again. Highly recommend her :)”
About: About Me 😸 Hi, I'm Maggie! I bring extensive, professional hands-on veterinary industry (including ER) experience to every pet I care for. For me, pet sitting isn't a hobby—it is a commitment to providing the absolute highest standard of safety, comfort, and specialized care. Whether your dog needs a high-energy walking partner or your senior cat requires a gentle, patient companion, I tailor my routine entirely to your pet's unique personality and medical needs. Why Choose Me? • Advanced Medical Knowledge: With my veterinary background, I am completely comfortable administering oral medications, topical treatments, and injections. I can expertly read animal body language to spot subtle signs of stress, discomfort, or medical changes before they become issues. • Special Needs & Senior Care Experts: I welcome senior pets, puppies, and animals recovering from surgery or managing chronic illnesses. I know exactly how to maintain strict care schedules. • Safety First, Always: My industry experience means I treat emergency preparedness as a top priority. You will receive regular, detailed updates and photo check-ins so you can enjoy your time away with 100% peace of mind. Please reach out with any questions or to schedule a Meet & Greet! Because pet care is my primary focus, your pet will never be left alone for long periods. • Boarding / House Sitting: I maintain a consistent, predictable routine. Pets are never left unattended for more than 2 to 4 hours at a time, ensuring plenty of potty breaks, mental stimulation, and companionship. • Drop-Ins / Walks: I offer flexible scheduling windows throughout the day. I arrive promptly within our agreed-upon time frame so your pet's feeding and medication schedule remains perfectly on track. Safety and respect for your property are my absolute highest priorities. I treat your home with the utmost care and maintain strict safety protocols to ensure your pets remain secure and comfortable in their own familiar environment: • Home Security & Vigilance: I strictly follow your locking preferences, arm security alarms precisely as instructed, and ensure all windows and gates are securely closed before leaving or going to sleep. I keep a low profile to ensure your home looks occupied and secure. • Escaping Prevention: I am incredibly vigilant about "door-darting." I use careful entry and exit barriers to ensure pets never have the opportunity to slip outside accidentally. During walks, dogs are always kept on secure, reliable leashes—never off-leash in unsecured areas. • Health & Behavioral Monitoring: I perform daily, subtle health checks (monitoring appetite, energy levels, and bathroom habits). Because of my professional background, I can spot the earliest signs of stress, bloat, or discomfort and act immediately. • Emergency Preparedness: I keep the contact information for your primary veterinarian and the nearest 24/7 emergency pet hospital easily accessible. If an unexpected home issue arises (like a leak or power outage), I will handle it calmly and contact you immediately.

I feel like Jonathan was very good with my dogs. He was with them for 5 days. Both my labradoodles like him. I think he has a kind spirit. That was my main concern. Joathan was good on the job. Dog run was clear. house looked good, Kitchen was clean, all bedding was in the laundry room........What's not to like! J
We had such a wonderful experience with Jade! She took excellent care of our pup and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. She kept us updated with pictures and messages throughout the stay. Our dog was happy, well cared for, and clearly loved while we were gone. We would absolutely recommend her🐶🐾
Jean is a wonderful pet sitter! She cared for my 5 lb Yorkie, Mindy, in our home. Mindy LOVES Jean. I could tell from the numerous pictures she took, including doggie kisses. Jean was in communication with me daily which is so important to this doggie momma. She cared for our home like it was her own. Thank you, Jean, for the great service you provided. I will definitely be hiring her again. 💗

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in El Mirage is $39 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $34 and $69 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 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 , 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.
