“Angela was absolutely amazing! I felt completely comfortable having her stay in our home and care for our dog, Stevie. She was kind, responsible, and treated Stevie like family. She kept us updated with messages and pictures, giving us peace of mind while we were away. Angela followed our routine, took great care of our home, and went above and beyond to make sure Stevie felt happy and loved. As a newly adopted 1-year-old German Shepherd, husky mix with some quirks, Stevie needed patience and understanding, and Angela provided exactly that. It’s not easy finding someone you trust with both your pet and your home, but Angela made it easy. We would gladly have her back and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter!”
“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! ❤️”
“Krystal was a superb caretaker for our dog Jinny! Our dog warmed up to her right away and Krystal gave us peace of mind throughout the day by sending photos. We hope that she will be available for the next time we need someone to take care of our dog:)”
“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 :)”
“Adrian did a wonderful job house sitting for our two pups. It was our first time ever using a service like Rover, and he was a great representative! Communication was timely and caring. He is very personable and also jumped in immediately to help us when our first sitter had to cancel with a medical emergency even before we had our meet and greet with her. We highly recommend him and plan to use him for future needs.”
“Liz was great from the first connect. Her communication is detailed and timely, she asked lots of great questions, and was super informative during the dog sitting stay. Loved working with her and will absolutely bring ok her again!”
“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.”
“David did an exceptional job watching our very large crew of dogs, cats and critters for a week…including a very active 5 month old puppy which is no easy feat! He sent updates regularly and even cleaned before he left. Would recommend him over and over!”
“Dogs are at ease no huge anxiety when we returned whick is great to see. I believe they were very loved while we were away. House was tidy. Awesome would definitely book Celynda again”
“Chuck did a great job of watching my cat Scaredy and taking good care of her even though I made it much harder by mistakenly leaving my cell phone at home which made it impossible for either of us to get in contact with each other. I am so sorry for doing that and apologies for making such a bad mistake.”
“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!”
About: I am a huge animal lover who enjoys spending time with dogs of all breeds. I know that dogs are so much more than pets , they’re family. I take the time to get to know each dog’s routine and unique personality. I see to it they feel comfortable while you’re away. I’ll make sure they feel safe and loved. My goal is simple , to make both your and your furry family member have the best experience. I currently am graduated and looking for a new job with my degree. I have pretty open availability to be there whenever you need me. I make sure pets feel comfortable and safe in their familiar environment. I treat every home with the utmost respect, keeping it secure , clean and just as I found it. Throughout each visit, I provide updates and photos so the owners can relax knowing their furry family member is well cared for.
“Charisse far surpassed our expectation taking care of Izzi and caring for our home while we were gone. This is the first time we’ve used her and we can hardly wait to have her come stay with Izzi again. She is a great communicator and very detail oriented in her care. I would highly recommend her to anyone.”
“Thanks so much Laura for taking good care of Phoebe while I was away. I really appreciate your coordinating with Issy with walk times and pop-in’s. It’s a great feeling to be able to take vacation knowing that Phoebe’s in good hands. We will see you next time🤗”
“Very conscientious and responsible. Dexter adores her and we know she will always follow thru when she commits. Helped us with dogsitting and housesitting for a long international trip.”
“Annabella did an awesome job housesitting while I was away. She kept Phoebe engaged, sent pictures daily and even printed copies of photos for me. Upon my arrival home, Phoebe was happy and well taken care of. Thanks so much Annabella, definitely appreciate your help.”
“Patrick was absolutely fantastic with my two pups! One of them—a cautious and protective boxer—is not easy with strangers, but Patrick went above and beyond by spending hours with him beforehand to build trust. It was clear from their interactions that Patrick is experienced and knowledgeable when it comes to dog behaviors. I felt completely at ease leaving my fur babies in his care. On top of that, the house was spotless when I returned! Thank you so much, Patrick—you’re a true gem!”
“This was our first time having Joseph watch our dog. He worked out perfect for us - we came home to a content doggo. Our house was returned to us as we left it and our dog was well taken care of. We will definitely have Joseph watch our dog again!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in El Mirage is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - El Mirage
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!
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 September 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 September 2026, there are 3,846 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:
- 95% 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.
