“Joanna was available to care for our dogs on a short notice and we are so thankful we found her! She was quick to respond to us and even came to meet our boys before dog sitting. We received photos and videos while we were away and felt so at ease knowing our boys loved having her in their home. We can’t wait to have her watch them again!”
“I was planning on boarding Olive when I went away thinking it would be a nice place but when I went and toured 6 days before leaving it was not what I imagined. I needed a sitter quickly and Joseph was very responsive and eager to help out, coming to meet my pup and immediately made me feel comfortable leaving her with him. While he watched her I received many updates and pics of how she was doing, which included some of her misbehaving which I appreciated because it made me know he was being open and honest. I will definitely be booking him in the future!”
“Alyssa was wonderful! She was available last minute and was so willing to help out. She made my dogs feel so comfortable while I was away. Would take them out to go potty, feed them when they needed, and gave them lots of pets and love. She even sent a few pictures of them throughout her care. I felt completely comfortable and stress-free knowing my dogs were in good care. I highly recommend Alyssa, she is wonderful.”
“delaney was so wonderful and easy to work with! first of all, my a/c went out while we were gone and she was so patient and helpful with getting it fixed!! and of course she was great with the dogs and we felt so comfortable leaving the dogs in her care. thank you delaney!”
About: I've had dogs my entire life and have always loved caring for them. My family currently has three dogs that I regularly help care for, and I've been involved with them since they were puppies, giving me experience with puppy training and all the energy that comes with young dogs. I originally got into dog sitting by helping family and friends, and have now been dog sitting for several years. I'm experienced with watching small to medium-sized dogs and caring for multiple dogs at a time. I've cared for dogs as short as a few days to as long as a month, so I'm comfortable adapting to different personalities, routines, and needs. I also have experience giving dogs medication and providing extra care when needed. I treat every dog as an individual and want them to feel comfortable, safe, and loved while they're in my care. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I'm available for walks, drop-ins, and longer stays. I'm happy to work around each pet's normal routine. I understand how important consistency is for dogs, so I do my best to maintain their usual feeding, walking, and play schedules while they're with me. As someone who has always had pets of my own, I understand the trust and responsibility that comes with caring for someone else's pet. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priority. I take the time to learn each dog's routine, personality, needs, and any specific instructions from their owner before caring for them. I'm attentive about doors, gates, leashes, feeding instructions, medications, and anything that could affect their health or safety. I'm also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing how your pet is doing while you're away. Whether I'm caring for a pet in their home or taking them for a walk, I want them to feel comfortable and cared for while giving their owner peace of mind.
“We went on a trip to San Diego for Comic Con and hired her about 2 to 3 weeks in advance for overnight care for cats. She sent pictures daily. She did cleanups she did the litter boxes twice a day mind you we have seven cats and a one year-old that ended up chewing one of our chords and she even replaced it. We thought he was out of this phase, but I guess New Kitty around new people regardless of that she stayed in communication. She always kept us updated New Kitty knew people regardless of that She always kept us updated with written notes, the place looks really good so I’m gonna rehire her again. Thank you.”
“Serena was so kind and loving with our dogs. She was very responsive and graciously available last minute when we were leaving town. She sent us pictures and updates and our dogs were happy and well taken care of when we got back. Would definitely book again!”
“Ms. Kelly was awesome. The dogs loved her. She was patient calm and friendly with them. It was their first Rover experience and by the second and third day they looked forward to seeing her. She gave photos and updates which was greatly appreciated and left feedback. Would 100 percent book with her again. Thank you so much!!!!!”
“Nancy is our go to sitter and takes care of our dog and our home as if they were her own! She provides daily updates and photos and we can tell our dog adores her! He’s never stressed when we return home and she cleans up after herself so much that you would never know she was here. 10 out of 10 stars!!”
About: Grew up with dogs and raised a husky border collie from my brother’s liter with absolute love. Spoiled all animals with love, treats and attention. Flexible schedule throughout the week and even more flexible on the weekends. Ideally morning, afternoon and evening care as requested by owner is all doable. I have fenced, cleaned home with large yard and pool for any swimming doggies. Observant and follow all necessary rules, treatment (medicine) and dietary guidelines.
“It was our first time having Emily watch our babies, and all three of them (two cats and one dog) adored her! One of the cats, who’s not a fan of cuddles or being too close to people, especially loved giving Emily love. I got many pictures of Cheeto showing Emily attention. She was wonderful, sending pictures and checking in often, and she kept everything spotless. We decided to extend our trip by four days, and she was so flexible that she could stay longer. We’re definitely planning to have Emily come again!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Mesa is $50

10/10 experience working with Laura!! She was so fun, communicative and absolutely wonderful with our energetic dog. We’ve never had someone stay at our home before which can sometimes be a bit nerve racking but she made the process easy, sent us daily updates and took great care of our girl. Thank you Laura!!!
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Leslie! This was my first experience using Rover, and I was admittedly hesitant about leaving Molly in someone else’s care. From the moment Leslie arrived for our meet and greet, she immediately put me at ease. She came prepared, took detailed notes, and asked thoughtful questions about Molly’s routine and needs. What stood out even more was Molly’s reaction. She immediately felt comfortable with Leslie, something she doesn’t always do with new people! Throughout our time away, Leslie went above and beyond every expectation. Her communication was exceptional and always proactive. She sent two videos a day along with thoughtful, detailed updates covering everything from meals and treats to walks, potty breaks, and how Molly was doing. As an Australian Shepherd, Molly has quite the personality, and I could see in the videos how happy and relaxed she was. She quickly developed that familiar “Thanks! What’s next?” look with Leslie, which made me smile every time. Leslie gave Molly so much attention, took her on two walks a day, and even made sure she had another walk before we arrived home after a long day of traveling. She was also incredibly accommodating of our home being in the middle of renovations, graciously making herself comfortable with an air mattress. We returned to a home in amazing condition and, most importantly, a happy and well-cared-for dog. It’s clear Leslie genuinely loves dogs, and that shows in the care, attention, and thoughtfulness she brings to everything she does. She gave us something invaluable: complete peace of mind while we were away. I would absolutely book her again, and she will be my first choice whenever we need someone to care for Molly. I couldn’t recommend her more highly!
Desalie did a great job. Our rescue pups usually get very stressed when we leave them, and this was the longest time we've been gone. In the past, Penny has chewed her paws until they were raw, and Sadie doesn't eat much when we're gone. But Desalie walked them every day, spent a lot of time with them, and they ate like normal and played a lot - they were so happy to see us and no evidence of anxiety for either one. Thanks Desalie!
I truly cannot say enough wonderful things! Finding someone you can completely trust with your fur babies is priceless and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The level of care, attention, and genuine love shown to my cats was beyond anything I could have hoped for. It’s so clear that this isn’t just a job, but something done with so much heart. The communication, updates, and attention to detail gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I never once had to worry, and that alone is worth everything. I’m incredibly grateful to have found someone so trustworthy, thoughtful, and caring. I would recommend Diana a thousand times over and wouldn’t hesitate to book again. Truly the best!
We had Jai pet-sit our 2 dogs and cat again. This time we were gone for two (2) weeks. Jai certainly catered to our pets and took amazing care of them & our home. She kept us updated throughout - and we so appreciate her communication-style. She provides updates and asks questions where you can tell she is caring for your pets, wants you to know how they’re doing- but still allows you to enjoy your vacation. Jai is professional, caring, kind and a true gem.
Rachelle was amazing! From my initial contact, all the way through to the end, she was excellent with communication and updates. This was our first time using a pet sitter in our home and Rachelle definitely took care of us! I would not hesitate to use her services again 👍🏼
Emily is terrific! We were gone for 2 weeks & felt so at ease knowing our dogs were in good hands. She walked our younger pup every morning (despite the heat) because he has a lot of energy to burn, sent regular photos of the doggos snuggling, and left our house so clean. She also sent text updates, which really helped since we were 9 time zones apart. I can’t recommend Emily enough — she went above & beyond, and our dogs were so well cared for.
Madi was just amazing! We have two senior dogs and she jumped right in to love them while we were traveling. She was on top of all of their meds and sent lots of pictures keeping us updated on how they were doing. Thank you so much Madi! We will definitely book again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Mesa is $50 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $83 per night. 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.

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 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.

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.
