About: I’ve been caring for dogs, cats, and birds since I was 13. Over the years, I’ve become a trusted pet sitter and dog walker for friends, my parents’ friends and coworkers, and eventually for clients who found me through word of mouth. My experience comes from a lifelong love of animals and a strong commitment to their care. I was born and raised in Flagstaff, and I’ve always loved living here—especially being able to take my childhood dogs on long walks exploring the forests and enjoying the beautiful outdoors. I currently work in an office with a flexible schedule, which allows me to easily accommodate drop-in visits and walks throughout the day. My evenings are generally open for walks, feeding, drop in visits, or house sitting. I will take care of your pets just as I would take care of mine! From playing with them to feeding to them to just hanging out, they will be loved and taken care of.
“Emily did a great job taking care of Nana! My pup gets pretty anxious when I’m away, but it was a huge relief to know that she had someone who clearly loves dogs looking out for her.”
“Lindsay was absolutely fabulous! She was incredibly thoughtful, conscientious, and went above and beyond while house and dog sitting for us. She spent so much time with our dogs, taking them on walks and giving them tons of love and attention. They were noticeably happier when we returned. Along with that the house was clean and everything was just as we had left it. We will definitely use Lindsay again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their home and pets!”
“Atlantis went above and beyond dog sitting for Melo. She sent me tons of pictures and updates while I was away. My vacation was very relaxing thanks to her updates. She also left my house spotless. I highly recommend Atlantis.”
“Ava was amazing with our dogs! She had the best communication and sent daily photos and updates! She took great care of our dog’s needs and wants and gave them the extra love they deserved! She also took wonderful care of our home and left everything in great condition and followed all instructions with ease. I cannot recommend her enough! We can’t wait to book with her again!”
“Alissa is so communicative and caring! She sent multiple pictures of my animals while I was gone, and she was sure to ask questions about anything she was unsure of. Alissa’s care and attentiveness was SO appreciated :)”
About: As someone who has taken care of my own and other people’s pets I know how important it is for someone to be reliable and trustworthy with your pets. I constantly seek to be someone you can count on to provide your pets with the best service I can offer I am currently a student at NAU with a schedule that keeps my weekends and evenings free. I am very flexible to accommodate your preferences for your pets! I am very good at maintaining routines for your pets! I can easily crate or ensure that outside gates are shut when I leave. My goal is to ensure that your pet is comfortable at home and following what instructions are left for me.
“Sierra is a wonderful young lady. She sent me several pictures of my dogs, followed the instructions, and left my house exactly the way she found it. I would happily recommend Sierra for your dog sitting needs.”
“Hannah was wonderful. This is not our first time using her and we will continue to do so many times. We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! From the moment we connected, it was clear how caring, responsible, and attentive they are. Our pets were happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved while we were on a short weekend getaway. Hannah updated with messages and photos,and follow-up went above and beyond to make sure everything was just right at home. We came back to happy animals and a tidy home, and we’re incredibly grateful. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable, pet sitter.”
“My pets seemed to love her and she was very good at keeping us posted during her care. She stayed at our house for a few days while we were out of town and she was respectful of our things and would highly recommend!”
About: What sets me apart is the level of consistency, attentiveness, and genuine care I bring to every pet I look after. I’ve provided care for a wide range of animals such as puppies needing structure and positive reinforcement, senior pets requiring extra patience and medication, and everything in between. I understand that pets thrive on routine and familiarity, so I do my best to replicate their normal schedule and environment as closely as possible. I’ve also cared for pets during long-term periods, over 30 consecutive days, while their owners were away, ensuring not just their physical needs were met, but also offering emotional comfort and companionship. Whether I’m helping a shy cat warm up to a new face or making sure a high-energy pup gets daily exercise and enrichment, I’m committed to treating every pet like they’re my own. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I currently am a master's student at Northern Arizona University. My class schedule is very consistent with my main classes taking part on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays 4pm-6:30pm. I occasionally help with undergraduate classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 11am-1pm. This schedule leaves me plenty of time and energy to provide attentive, unhurried care for pets throughout the day and evening. Whether it’s midday visits, afternoon walks, or overnight stays, I’m flexible and able to tailor my schedule around your pet’s needs. Whether your pet is staying in my home or I’m caring for them in yours, I prioritize safety, trust, and creating a calm, consistent environment. My approach is always tailored to your pet’s personality, needs, and routines. When pets stay in my home, I strive to make it a peaceful, welcoming space, clean, secure, and set up with cozy spots for rest, quiet areas for alone time, and plenty of room for play and comfort. I only take in a limited number of pets at a time so each animal receives dedicated attention and care. I maintain your pet’s usual schedule for meals, potty breaks, medications, and playtime to reduce stress and support their well-being. I also supervise closely and ensure pets are never left alone for long stretches. When I care for pets in their own home, I respect your space and follow your instructions carefully to keep your pet’s routine intact. I take time to build trust, especially with shy or anxious animals, and I move at their pace to help them feel secure. I maintain cleanliness, monitor for any signs of stress or discomfort, and keep you regularly updated with photos and notes so you can feel confident while you're away. In both settings, I aim to be a dependable, calming presence your pet can rely on.
“I would give Xia ten stars if I could. She is an amazing dog sitter. She arrived at our first meeting familiar with our two dogs from our Rover profile and could ask questions about them. While we were away, we got lots of photos of the dogs smiling on hikes and at play, plus text updates on what they were up to during the day. We arrived home to an immaculate house and two very mellow and content dogs. Our pups clearly enjoyed their staycation with Xia. We will definitely book with Xia again....hopefully soon.”

Lindsay was absolutely fabulous! She was incredibly thoughtful, conscientious, and went above and beyond while house and dog sitting for us.

Along with that the house was clean and everything was just as we had left it. We will definitely use Lindsay again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their home and pets!
I hired Delaney for the first time to housesit and stay with my two dogs. She was fabulous! It was very easy to communicate with Delaney. She answered phone calls and returned text messages immediately. She sent photos of the pups to me periodically without me asking. She followed all directions. I will definitely keep working with her as my first choice going forward. My prior housesitter moved away and so I am looking to establish a new persitting relationship.
This was our second time having Jadalyn sit for us, and she was fantastic again! Really appreciated her communication, gentleness and attention with our elderly chihuahua, and how clean the house was when we arrived home. Highly recommend Jadalyn to care for your furry friends!
Mary T. is a wonderful young woman with a real way with dogs. Maxx fell for her at first sight, and she took such good care of him. I extended my stay away by a day and she was flexible about that. Mostly, though, she was wonderful to my pup who needed extra care and attention with summer monsoons: thunder!
Hannah is wonderful with my dogs!! She is dependable, caring, and truly loves animals. My dogs are always excited to see her, and I know they're in good hands with her while she's pet-sitting in my home. She takes them on walks, gives them plenty of attention, and they love having her stay with them. I highly recommend Hannah to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.
Devon was amazing she took good care of our 90-110lbs labrador retrievers while we were away for a week plus and also took good care of our home and helped with mail and packages etc. She gave timely feedback and noticed our female lab was developing an ear infection which she gets occasionally and washed out her ears with appropriate otic solution and applied ear drops and antifungal medicine and by the time we got home she was going great. 5 stars for Devon - not even a question!
Tyler was fantastic! He was very attentive with all three animals, and was particularly amazing with our elderly chihuahua who can be a bit of a handful. He was communicative each day with pictures and status updates, and the house was just as we left it when we returned. I would highly recommend Tyler for taking care of your furry friends!
Nathan was GREAT, we hired him to stay at our place for a week. He was very attentive to our dog’s needs and schedule, as well as did us an additional favor by watering our newly planted plants. Nathan went above and beyond, we will definitely use his services again in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Flagstaff 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 251 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Flagstaff. 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 Flagstaff 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 Flagstaff 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 Flagstaff 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.

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.
