“There’s a reason Tom comes so highly recommended. He is trustworthy, reliable, and proactive. He ensures your pups will be comfortable with him so you have peace of mind when away from them. He delivered as promised and my pups were happy. We’ll be using him again!”

About: I’ve always grown up around dogs and getting to spend time with them has been one of my favorite pastimes! I’ve had the pleasure of meeting many new furry friends throughout the years and getting to know their own unique personalities! I always treat every new pup I see as if they’re my own. I hope I get the chance to meet your pups soon and give them a little extra company! Currently, my schedule is full open availability. I have no problem commuting for that reason:). I plan on focusing my attention on pet-sitting, as I’ve always had a love for animals! At my home, I have two super good boys! One is a Golden Retriever (11) and the other is a Shih-Tzu (15). They are fed every morning and taken out at least 3 times a day. Toys are never-ending and they are spoiled rotten (they get to sleep in the bed😉). Both of these pups are constantly getting attention…I mean come on, how can I not?!

About: I have a lot of experience caring for pups of all personalities. I’ve hosted friends’ and family members’ dogs for years, and I treat every dog like my own. What really sets me apart is the fun, kid-friendly environment I provide—my children absolutely adore dogs, and visiting pups usually enjoy all the extra love, playtime, and attention they get here. I work best with dogs who are potty trained and comfortable around kids, since my home is full of laughter, activity, and gentle little helpers. Whether your dog loves snuggles on the couch, playtime in the yard, or just having company throughout the day, I’m here to make them feel safe, happy, and right at home. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I work, but I’m usually home most of the day on Mondays, which provides plenty of time for extra attention, play, and walks. Tuesday through Friday, I’m out from about 9–3:30, but I’m home before and after that window for morning cuddles, potty breaks, and lots of evening family time with your pup. My schedule allows for a good balance of companionship, consistency, and a predictable routine—perfect for dogs who do well with a cozy home environment and plenty of love before and after the workday. In my home, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for every dog I care for. I don’t currently have any pets in the home—my sweet dog passed away a few months ago—so your pup gets all the attention, love, and space to themselves. I have a fully fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play, potty breaks, and plenty of fresh air. Inside, dogs are welcome to relax with me, hang out with the kids, and be part of our daily routine. I keep a close eye on them, follow any schedule or rules you prefer, and make sure they feel right at home. I tailor their care to what makes them happiest and most comfortable. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is keeping your dog’s routine as familiar and stress-free as possible. I follow your instructions closely—feeding times, walks, crate routines, medications, and any house rules you have in place. I know how important consistency is, so I make sure your pup gets the same structure and comfort they’re used to. I spend plenty of time giving your dog attention, play, and companionship so they never feel lonely while you’re away. I also keep your home tidy, bring in packages or mail if needed, and send regular updates and photos so you feel completely at ease. My goal is for your dog to feel safe, loved, and relaxed in their own environment, and for you to return home to a happy pup and a home just the way you left it.

About: I've been surrounded by animals my whole life, growing up in a home with both dogs and cats since I was a baby. My experience extends across all life stages- from caring for kittens and puppies to providing special care for senior pets, including an older dog my mom rescued who was blind and deaf. I've had the privilege of being involved in every phase of pet care, from the excitement of welcoming a new pet to supporting them through their golden years. I currently have two beloved cats at home and am passionate about giving all animals the love and attention they deserve. In addition to cats and dogs, I’ve also helped care for lizards, rabbits, turtles, and hamsters. My lifelong love for animals and diverse experience make me a compassionate, reliable sitter who truly understands the unique needs of each pet. I work from home on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and I’m in the office on Tuesdays and Thursdays, which still allows me to maintain a flexible schedule for attentive pet care. Whether it's a quick check-in, a mid-day visit, or extended care, I can easily adjust my day to accommodate your pet's needs. Since my job allows me to work from anywhere with Wi-Fi, I’m able to be available at different times throughout the day. On my in-office days, I can also stop by during my lunch break to let your dog out and spend some time playing with them. This flexibility makes it easy for me to fit pet care into my routine while ensuring your furry friend gets the care and attention they deserve. I’ll also be back home in the evenings to give them plenty of attention, and I’m committed to making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for-no matter the day of the week! I prioritize the safety and comfort of every pet in my care, adapting my approach based on their individual needs. I ensure that your pet enjoys their time outdoors in a safe, enclosed environment where they can exercise and explore. I also maintain open communication with pet owners by sending lots of pictures of videos, keeping them updated on their pet’s activities and well-being. Rest assured, your furry friend will be treated with the utmost care and respect while in my care!

About: Hi, I’m Hope! I’ve always felt at home with animals, especially dogs. I believe every dog has their own unique personality, and I love taking the time to understand what makes them feel safe, happy, and loved. Whether your pup is energetic and playful or calm and cuddly, I’ll meet them where they are with patience, kindness, and genuine care. I’m dependable, attentive, and treat every pet as if they were my own. You can expect regular updates, photos, and clear communication so you always know your furry family member is happy and in good hands. I’m comfortable with walks, playtime, feeding routines, administering basic medications if needed, and giving plenty of affection and companionship. My goal is to provide a calm, loving environment where your dog feels secure while you’re away. I know trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. I’d love the opportunity to care for your best friend and become someone you can rely on whenever you need a helping hand.

Sibel has watched out kitties for several years when we go out of town and she has always been wonderful. This last trip, our kitty who was 18 years old was not doing well and actually passed away while we were gone. There are no words to thank Sibel for the compassion and care she showed for both our cat and for us. She is truly a lovely human and wonderful animal lover.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Fort McDowell

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Fort McDowell is $32 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $38 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 6,703 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Fort McDowell. 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 Fort McDowell. 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.
