“Marianne did a fabulous job with our babies! It was our first time with a sitter, and she had great communication with us. She sent many photos and updates which made us feel comfortable about leaving them behind. Our dog and cat loved her!”
“Shea was fantastic! Our pup was well taken care of, our house was spotless when we came home, and Shea sent plenty of pictures showing the fun our pup was having with her. We cannot recommend her enough!”
“Anna did an amazing job taking care of my babies. She also helped with training Holly on the use of the doggie door. The house was left neatl and clean. I will use her again in the future.”
“Leslie is truly the best pet sitter out there! She is 100% reliable and has been nothing but amazing every time she has watched my fur babies. I completely trust her to give my animals the best care possible and highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for an exceptional pet sitter!!”
“Holly was so great. She is very trustworthy and transparent and has great communication, sending lots of pics and videos :) I have a very stubborn and particular bulldog and she really took the time to learn his personality and weird little quirks. She walked, swam and played with my dog and even made him special snacks for enrichment. Holly was also a great guest in home! Clean and considerate! I felt confident my little guy was safe and taken care of. I would definitely like to have Holly care for my pup again 🤗”
“Kay did an amazing job watching our two dogs over the holiday. This was our first time using Rover, and we are so pleased with how well our dogs were cared for while we were away. Kay’s communication was impecable, complete with videos and regular updates of when they were coming and going and how the dogs were doing. They walked and played ball with our young, active border collie daily. The house was clean and tidy, just how we left it, and our dogs were happy when we arrived home. We will definitely recommend them to others and hire them again in the future. 🤗”
“Diana did great with our pups. Really good communication, appreciated the photos and taking care of our house as well. Would definitely trust Diana with our pups again!”
“Cat was amazing! She watched our 2 dogs and cat while we went away for a week. We got photos multiple times a day, updates, and our shy cat even warmed up to her! She was so attentive and we felt very comfortable with her from the start :)”
“Aleksandra took great care of my cat Nutterbutter and she sent lots of pictures and videos while we were away! Highly recommend and we will most definitely be requesting Aleksandra!”
“Leslie took such great care of my dog, Cookie, over the weekend! She was reliable, communicative, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. It was clear that Cookie was well cared for and happy. I really appreciated the updates and the attention she gave my pup. I would absolutely recommend Leslie to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter, and I’d be happy to have her watch Cookie again!”
“Jessica is truly wonderful! She cared for my pets at my home with great love, treating them as if they were her own. She regularly sent me numerous adorable photos and updates. When I mentioned it was my dog's birthday while I was away, she even sang "Happy Birthday" to him and gave him an extra treat. I highly recommend her!”
“Marie was so great to work with! She was house sitting my dog and 2 cats for the weekend and I was trying to find someone that could give my babies lots of human time and attention based on a previous bad experience, and Marie surpassed my expectations! She sent lots of pictures and updates throughout and followed all instructions. My cats eat wet food 3 times a day with toppings and she sent me what she made every meal. She even helped clean up some of the litter that tracked on the floors. I felt like they were in the greatest hands and got amazing care and so I was able to enjoy my trip! Can’t wait to book Marie again!”
About: Empty nester, entrepreneur, and lifelong animal lover. With my children grown and a life of ease, house and pet sitting gives me exactly what I love most — purposeful connection, beautiful animals, and the privilege of caring for someone’s most important things while they’re away. With a lifetime of experience caring for others, a professional standard built from years in hospitality and culinary arts, and a genuine love for animals that goes beyond a side hustle. I’m a Le Cordon Bleu trained chef, former flight attendant, 5 star hotel manager and entrepreneur currently building my pet lifestyle services. Animals are not peripheral to my life. They are central to my brand, my community, and my daily world. As an empty nester my energy is calm, clean, and completely focused on whoever — and whatever — is in my care. No small children, no chaotic schedules, no distractions are part of my daily lifestyle. When your pets are with me they have my full attention, my full presence, and the kind of unhurried care that only comes from someone who actually wants to be there. What you can expect from me: — A hospitality-trained professional who treats your home with the same respect she’d want for her own — Consistent communication — updates, photos, and check-ins so you can actually enjoy your time away — A calm, experienced presence for animals of all temperaments — I understand animal behavior, I read energy well, and I don’t rattle easily--I'll be learning delving more into professional certified dog training and animal behaviorist soon. Did I mention that, "I love this lifestyle?" I do. — Someone who genuinely loves this — not as a gig, but as a natural extension of who I am. The last 2 years I've embraced a nomadic lifestyle in my 50's while traveling across the United States and looking to one day doing the same abroad. Currently I’ve slowed down a bit and I’m living in the Chandler/Gilbert AZ area. I am reliable, discreet, warm, and deeply committed to the trust you place in me when you hand over your keys. Your home and your animals will be in good hands. That’s not a promise I make lightly. I work from my computer. Therefore I'm free to travel and pet sit any hour or day. Last minute sits are welcomed. Reach out anytime. I absolutely adore animals. I’m healthy, fit and I have lots of free time on my hands. I’m always invited to care for friends and family pets and I’d do the same for your pets. I'd love too!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Mesa
Laura was fantastic! She took wonderful care of our dogs and our home while we were away. She kept us updated throughout our trip with regular messages and photos, which gave us real peace of mind. It was obvious our dogs received plenty of love, attention, and great care. She even went above and beyond by cleaning up the backyard, which is no small feet with a German Shepherd and Border Collie. When we returned, our house was clean, tidy, and exactly as we left it. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. We would gladly have Laura watch our dogs again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, caring, and thoughtful sitter.
We couldn't ask for a better dog sitter! She takes such amazing care of our dogs and always go above and beyond to make sure they're happy, safe, and loved. We have complete peace of mind whenever we're away because we know our pups are in the best hands. Reliable, caring, and truly treats our dogs like family. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care!
Booking with Joseph was a great experience from start to finish. Both my dogs took a liking to him from the moment they initially met him, which was comforting. He was attentive to our needs and directions and would be happy to rely on him for any future opportunities.
Anastasiia was absolutely fantastic! So communicative and helpful, she even tended to a couple things around the house that didn’t relate to the dogs, and we couldn’t be happier with her service. One of our dogs is EXTREMELY timid - Anastasiia was so patient with her, we felt total and complete comfort leaving our fur babies for an entire week. We will definitely rebook with Anastasiia and will highly recommend her to anyone that asks. THANK YOU!!!!
Holly was so great. She is very trustworthy and transparent and has great communication, sending lots of pics and videos :) I have a very stubborn and particular bulldog and she really took the time to learn his personality and weird little quirks.

I felt confident my little guy was safe and taken care of. I would definitely like to have Holly care for my pup again 🤗
Emily was a fantastic dog sitter! She took such wonderful care of our anxious Chihuahua, making sure she felt safe and secure while we were away. The regular updates and photos she sent were great. On top of being fantastic with our pup, she took immaculate care of our house. We highly recommend Emily!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Mesa on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 4,821 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Mesa. 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 Mesa 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 Mesa 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 Mesa 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 Mesa. On Rover:
- 94% 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.
