Anna was a godsend while we were out of town! She stayed at our house and we came back to it cleaner than when we left. She sent updates and pictures every day, which left us feeling at ease so we could fully enjoy our trip. Finding someone to house and pet sit can be stressful, but we are so glad we found Anna. I highly recommend her… we will definitely reach back out when we need a sitter in the future! Thank you, Anna🩷🩷

We are so grateful for Marianne! She was absolutely amazing with our fur baby, Zara, and went above and beyond the entire time we were away. She was so patient, kind, and understanding, and even stepped in to watch my brother’s dogs for a few days when his sitter canceled last minute. Truly a lifesaver! Marianne kept us updated with photos and videos that made our day and gave us total peace of mind knowing our dogs were happy and well cared for. Thank you so much, Marianne, for treating them like your own. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will definitely be booking with you again!

Shea was AMAZING! She met with me and my cat Willy before the scheduled Rover Kitty Sitting. She was very thorough and we immediately connected. This was our first meeting and I felt completely comfortable giving her a key to my house. She did not disappoint. After she left I found my cat missing her and sleeping in the bedroom she stayed in. That told me a lot about how she cared for Willy. Highly recommend Shea!

About: I can tell you confidently, that I don't just love dogs as others say; they are not just "furbabies." I dont intend to replace you with my love and care. I respect them, and your time. Please do not book me if you have a perfect, calm dog, as I think we would both be bored.. HI everyone, my name is Madison! I have a range of animals that I take care of including: a guinea pig, dog, and 3 cats! This supports my experience in animal care, and what to expect. Coming onto this app, I'd really love to work with, care, train, and connect with your dog! I have trained the Chihuahua Mix in my photos. She needed help with walking on the leash, lunging, and being less attached to her owners. (She had separation anxiety). Throughout our bond, I have been patient with her, always allowing her to take her time with things, to both understand, and adjust. I can do basic leash training, and corrections for wrong behavior. I have experience with an Aussie cattle dog that had issues with pulling, and manners. Overtime, I've been working with him using all methods to my disposal: calm confidence energy, treats, and different methods to ensure focus (without krabby patties!) I tackle leashed behavioral issues, manners on walks, patience, and respect. I have confidence when teaching tricks; like sitting, paw, spin, and more. I am still learning more ways to help dogs that need more advanced work. I am very passionate about leash training. I can help the dog gain focus on the human, to become a follower, and practice good self esteem. I can make a confident dog. Aggression, bad behavior, pulling, or uncomfortable leash issues arent a red flag for me. I'd love to take any animal. As long as they don't attack me! I have loads of free time, and would love to share it with your pets! I commute using an E Bike, with long range. Active hours are 12:00 PM to midnight. Sometimes earlier, Sometimes later. I reply to all morning requests right when I log on at 2:00pm! Mad.dychan is a tag I created with the camera feature for Samsung Galaxy S series. Some photos I have cropped it off others still have it. NOTE ON BOOKINGS: Because true behavioral progress and leash confidence take time and consistency, I FOCUS MY SCHEDULE ON RECURRING, WEEKLY (or daily) WALKING CLIENTS. I love building long-term friendships with dogs so we can actively tackle habits like pulling or anxiety. I have a job, a different one, I deliver food, and I am getting into writing unfiltered societal truths, and AI. I want to transition directly into animal care at the same time. I believe taking care of animals should always be in your daily routine because when I get tired I always make sure I take my dog out for a walk. With the cats I take care of, I make sure to feed them wet food, and dry food at the same time everyday, listen to their cues, and instinctively know what they want/need based on what they do/express. It feels like a natural instinct not a obligation to me. I'm always going to put my pets first. I find myself worrying, and thinking about them before making any sort of big decisions, and I will advocate for them in difficult situations. How I plan to take care of these animals safely in their own home as mine is unavailable.. is by respecting their boundaries.. First of all, not getting too close if they are upset with it, but also making sure they read the energy I give them. I'll always enter with a positive energy so they know I'm positive, and a calm energied person. If leashing in their home is required thats okay too. Honestly just patience, care, and most importantly repetition.

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!

About: Hello! My name is Joey, and I've dedicated over 20 years to caring for animals of all kinds. My experience extends beyond just owning pets; I've cared for dogs, cats, bottle babies, senior pets, foster animals, and pets with medical needs. Every animal deserves to be safe, loved, and comfortable, and I care for each pet as if they were my own. I previously worked in a veterinary clinic, where I gained valuable experience handling animals safely, assisting with their care, administering oral medications, and performing injections as needed. While I no longer work in veterinary medicine, I am comfortable caring for pets with routine medical needs and always follow the owners' instructions carefully. I also volunteered with my local Humane Society for eight years and was proud to serve on its Board of Directors for four years. During that time, I helped countless animals of various ages, temperaments, and medical conditions find loving homes. Caring for foster animals, bottle babies, and pets recovering from illness taught me patience, compassion, and how to recognize when an animal requires extra care. I previously owned and operated Peak Pet Sitting in Ruidoso, New Mexico, where I offered dependable in-home pet care to local families. After moving to Arizona two years ago, I focused on my full-time job and furthering my education, but I'm excited to resume pet sitting services because caring for animals has always been one of my greatest passions. At home, I am a proud pet parent to three dogs, three cats, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I understand that leaving your pets behind can be stressful, and my goal is to provide you with complete peace of mind while you're away. I currently work full-time and attend nursing school, so pet sitting helps to cover the cost of my education while allowing me to spend time doing something I genuinely enjoy. Because of my work schedule, I am available before and after work, in the evenings, overnight (by arrangement), and on weekends. While I am not available for midday weekday visits, I will give your pets my undivided attention, plenty of affection, exercise, playtime, and attentive care. Whether your pet requires medication, extra patience, plenty of exercise, couch cuddles, or simply someone who understands their distinct personality, I would be honored to care for them. My goal is to make them feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away, so you can relax knowing they're in capable, caring hands. I'm looking forward to meeting you and your beloved friends! I work full-time Monday through Friday, so I'm available for morning visits before work, evening visits after work, overnight stays by arrangement, and weekends. Pet sitting provides financial support while I attend nursing school, but caring for animals has always been a passion of mine, not just a side job. When I am with your pet, I will give them my full attention. Whether they require a walk, playtime, cuddles, medications, or simply someone to keep them company and maintain their routine, I will provide the loving, dependable care they deserve. For the sake of all animals' safety and comfort, I generally do not offer boarding in my home. I have three dogs, three cats, and a turtle, and I believe that most pets are happiest and safest in their familiar surroundings. Young kittens or orphaned bottle babies are an exception, as they can be safely isolated in a separate room away from my other pets. I have extensive experience fostering neonatal kittens and caring for bottle babies, so I am confident in providing the specialized care they require. (WEEKENDS ONLY or HOLIDAYS) Whether I'm caring for your pet at home or a young kitten in mine, I'll carefully follow your care instructions, administer oral medications or injections as needed, and provide regular updates with photos to give you peace of mind while you're away. I respect every pet as if it were my own, as well as every home.

Leslie is wonderful! My senior cat had recently recovered from an emergency surgery and I was feeling really anxious about leaving him for a week, but Leslie took such good care of him and my other kitty- I was able to enjoy my vacation worry free. She sent daily updates and photos which I really appreciated. Leslie is reliable and kind and I am so grateful for the care and attention she provided to my fur babies. I would 1000% reccommend her!

About: I've been told by friends who have dogs, that the relationship I've built with their babes is one based on respect. That is because I am someone who is observant, and looks for the right cues before attempting to step into their comfort zone. Which is why when I'm asked to care for their pets, they can trust that I am there to look after them and care for their boundaries. That is also true when it comes to following their pet's routines and habits that are established, as well as having an understanding of their personalities. Every pet is different, it just takes a little time and patience to understand them. I do work from home two days out of the week, Monday through Friday. However, the remote days are flexible, and the rest of the week I am on the field conducting home visits for patients. Therefore whether you need me to house sit, for a day or two I can adjust my schedule to meet that, as long as I have enough notice. Or if you just need me to stop by for a potty break or a walk, I can add it to my route of visits. On weekends, I am available within reason. I am flexible, and I can do my best to accommodate your needs. It just takes a conversation and some planning. In my home, I do have four babes. One dog and three cats. I do have routines for them when it comes to meal times, and potty breaks. For Nani, my dog. She has her breakfast around the same time every morning, which is usually after I am done getting ready for work. Then soon after she finishes her breakfast, she cues me for a potty walk. We go around the block and she does her business and comes back home to a treat and some play before I go to make my breakfast. For my cats, Chachi, Mizu, and Jojo. They get their breakfast right before I take Nani out for her walk, that way they can eat peacefully and take their time without Nani wagging her tail at them. For the rest of the day, If I am working from home Nani gets a mid day walk around our grassy area at home, but usually in the summer she prefers to stay inside. The cats, I do tend to take mental breaks from my laptop, so one of the things I do is play with them with their string and give them a lil catnip for them to relax. Dinner time is a bit more relaxed, the cats have an auto feeder so their dinner serves at 6pm and for Nani, she gets her dinner, and then she cues me for a walk. Usually my husband and I alternate when following these routines, so in the case I'm out pet sitting, I am grateful that my husband will be able to take care of our babies while I care for yours. That is the way I care for my pets, based on their needs. I am big on routines, because that is how I've raised them to be. However every household has different lifestyles and understanding that is important when choosing to care for someone else's pet's.

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.

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.

FAQs for House Sitting - Mesa

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Mesa on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 4,851 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.
