“Patricia was truly amazing, and I couldn’t be more grateful for her care. She took extra time to help my dog warm up and feel safe, which meant everything to me. My pup was extremely difficult at first, but Patricia was so patient, gentle, and kind- never rushed, never discouraged. She went above and beyond by taking my dog on long walks, giving medication exactly as requested, and even working with her on training (she helped her learn to lay down!). The constant photo updates were so reassuring and showed just how much love and attention she was giving. It’s clear Patricia genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such thoughtful, capable hands. Thank you so much, Patricia — you’re incredible, and I would trust you again in a heartbeat!”
“Sophia is fantastic! She’s always there when we need her, even on short notice. She takes great care of our pups, giving them plenty of attention and making sure all their needs are met. We’re so grateful to have someone so reliable and caring!”
“Dina was very reliable, caring and an effective communicator before, during and after 6-day check ins with my cat. I had full confidence in her during that time period (which included admin of medication) that my cat was well cared for. I will use Dina’s services for any future need.”
“Maryann does an amazing job! She is punctual and accommodating to my schedule. I love that she communicates with me about Penny’s visits and goes out of her way to make sure everyone is happy.”
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.
“Heather is simply amazing! She is incredibly thorough with her visits and always makes sure my pets are well cared for and comfortable. She is friendly, dependable, and very responsive, which gives me so much peace of mind when I am away. I truly appreciate the updates and attention to detail. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after!”

About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 14. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. Am comfortable with taking care of all dogs of any breed or size. I’m well experienced with larger sized dogs that are labeled as “dangerous or scary”. Where most tend to judge and label these bigger dogs as problematic I know what kind of sweethearts they truly are. However I am equipped to take care of smaller dogs just as well. I am a full time student with a full time job that allows me to work from home so that my schedule can be very flexible when it comes to dog/cat sitting. I am always available in the evening and night. As for mornings it depends but I can usually. I can schedule my time accordingly and will have the time to balance between my classes and taking care of your precious fur babies! Whenever given a job I make sure to give it my all! Unfortunately I can’t have other animals in my apartment so I will only be offering the service of taking care of them in your house. However, if given this responsibility I assure you that your home will be treated with the utmost respect. I will take care of your home as if it were my own and make sure to leave it as it was found. I am also happy and willing to do cleaning tasks on the side for extra pay.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in El Mirage is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $32 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 5,508 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in El Mirage. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
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.
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.
