“Kayla was a great dog sitter for my dachshund Ziggy. He loves her and I’m impressed enough to book two more times in the future for longer periods of time. She kept me updated with pics and comments on how they were doing.”
“Daniel is so wonderful! He was so patient with me when I was a dummy and sent him the wrong address to my grandpas house that resulted in him driving around for 30 min. He took great care of our pups while we were out doing a bike race as a family. I can’t recommend Daniel enough!”
“Catori & Licia were very well taken care by Mary. We came home to happy "Girls." She kept us informed daily. Sent great pictures, which helped with our missing them!!! Enjoyed our stay immensely knowing they were in good care. Mary is dependable & pays attention to detail. Our home was tidy and clean upon our arrival. Thank You Mary!”
“Averi sat at our home with BooBoo for 4 full days. She did a great job with communication from beginning to end. I would consider using Averi again when the need arises. She left flowers and photographs of her adventures with my Boo”
About: I’ve taken care of multiple pets at once. Some in my home and some at their home. My friends and family have relied on me to help them with their pet. I’m currently open to any sitting right now since I’m currently not working. I have a lot of time on my hands to help out. I am a stay at home mom. I do not have any pets of my own. I have a fenced back yard. Not too big but big enough for furry friends. Furry friends are welcome in my home as well and on the couch.
About: My neighbors and friends of ten+ years have counted on me, and still do, to care for their animals. Over my lifetime, I've cared for reptiles, cats, squirrels and dogs since childhood. I prefer animals over people. They get me. And, I understand them very well. Usually daily activities will include at least one trip to either a dog park where we will spend no less than one hour at play or greeting other dogs or we will visit the Sahuarita Lake Park for no less than a one mile walk around the lake. I also will administer medicine, injections and bandage wounds if necessary. I am used to caring for ailing and senior animals. I provide tender and loving care. I also take time to do daily rooming (combing and brushing) and washing soiled linen and towels. I am good at leaving your home clean or cleaner than when I arrived. I do not have formal training to perform cpr.. I am a home body spending time writing short stories and the next best American novel or meditating. My space is my sanctuary. And, if your pet feels safer in their own environment, I will care for your pet in the environment in which they are accustomed while I protect and respect your privacy. Due to strict HOA anti business rules, I cannot conduct a pet care business out of my home. Otherwise, I would love to care for animals in my home.
“Hannah went above and beyond in every way! Not only did she take amazing care of our lab puppies, but she also left our home spotless. She sent regular updates and photos, which meant so much to us while we were away. She was also extremely flexible and accommodating with my husband’s crazy work schedule, which made everything so much easier for us. It’s clear she genuinely loves and cares for the pets she watches. We felt completely at ease knowing they were in such great hands. We will definitely be using Hannah again—highly recommend”
About: I’ve cared for many cats over the past 7 years and currently have 15 of my own, so I’m very familiar with feeding routines, litter box cleaning, and different cat personalities. I’ve also helped with dogs for friends and family — feeding them, keeping them company, and making sure they feel safe. I love walking, so I enjoy getting dogs out for fresh air and movement. While I’m still growing my experience with dogs, I treat every pet with patience, love, and respect like they’re my own. Pet care is my main focus right now, so I’m available throughout the week for drop-ins, or dog walking. I have a flexible schedule and reliable availability. I treat every pet and home with care and respect. I follow your instructions closely, keep routines consistent, and make sure your pets feel safe and loved while you’re away.
“Mercedes did a great job and went above and beyond to care for our dogs. Even going as far as making sure we had a clean home to come home to after traveling. We will definitely book with her in the future!”
“Lily was an amazing dog sitter! She took wonderful care of both of our dogs. She kept me updated with how they were doing and was fantastic when one of them had arthritis issues while I was gone. Cannot recommend her enough!”

About: I attended veterinary school and have a strong passion for caring for animals of all kinds. I’m outgoing, sweet, and very patient, which helps me build trust quickly with pets and their owners. I have experience with feeding routines, administering basic care, and recognizing when something isn’t right. I’m comfortable with puppies, senior pets, and animals that may need extra attention or reassurance. I also have two dogs of my own—one I’ve raised since a puppy and another that I adopted—so I understand the responsibility, love, and attention pets need every day. I treat every pet like my own and always prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness while you’re away. Pet care is my primary focus, and my flexible part-time schedule allows me to be available for your pets throughout the entire day. I am fully available for morning check-ins, afternoon walks, and overnight boarding. Whether your dog needs an early walk to start their day or your cat needs breakfast and playtime, I can accommodate those needs every day of the week. My open availability on weekends also makes me a great fit for long-term boarding or house-sitting, ensuring your pets are never alone for long and always have a consistent companion nearby I am committed to providing a secure and loving environment for every pet I host or visit. In my home, I have a large, fenced-in yard where dogs can play safely, and my two friendly resident dogs are great at welcoming new friends. I am also very comfortable using crates if that is part of your pet's routine. When I’m in your home, I stay vigilant about safety—checking that gates are closed and doors are locked. Whether I am visiting in the early morning or staying late into the evening, I provide constant supervision and plenty of updates so you know your pets are in good hands.
“Charli took care of my. 14 year old Yorkie with health problems. She had to give him 3 pills twice daily and treat him with care. She did a great job and returned him to me in great shape.”
About: I previously worked at an animal shelter where I would walk, feed, clean up after and assist in the grooming of both cats and dogs. I am also trained with both younger and older pets and am capable of giving them any medication they make be currently taking. I am currently taking all of my classes online so I do have quite a bit of free time to take care of your pet(s). At the moment I am not taking any dog walking appointments in the afternoon. After working in an animal shelter I know just how important it is for pets to stick to a routine and what they know so I will guarantee that all of the instructions you leave with me will be followed to the tee.

FAQs for House Sitting - Madera Canyon
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 689 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Madera Canyon. 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 Madera Canyon 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 Madera Canyon 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 Madera Canyon 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.
