My boy George was obsessed with Marianne the minute he met her. I left town for a few days while Marianne was watching him and I got lots of updates and photos about the stay. If you have separation anxiety like I do while leaving my dog, he will be in great hands. I’ll be definitely booking Marianne back to back for future stays. I feel so lucky to find someone so good to my beloved pup, who is also so respectful to the property. Thank you Marianne, we love you :) Eva & George

Amazing!!! I will continue to request Leslie to watch my pup on family vacations. She sends several videos and texts each day with updates and details!! Perfect for pup obsessed people!!! Hazel was happy and healthy when I arrived home, and house was how I left it, with additional cleaning and a welcome home surprise.

Meredith was the most amazing person; literally an angel on earth. I was an out-of-state couple in for a wedding, forced to bring my 2 lovely pups with me when my dog sitting fell through. She literally saved me so I could go to the wedding. I'm so grateful, there's no way to describe it. She helped my dogs stay calm and happy while we were away, and I literally would've missed out on so much without her. A gem among humans, for sure. Would 1000% recommend.

Jacy took care of our three babies just like we would have- even fed our outside strays! We received plenty of pictures and notes on how they were doing while we were gone- definitely helps to ease our minds when we have to leave home without them. Will definitely recommend and use again. Thank you.

We found Allie when we had to quickly find a sitter for our Moana. She did a wonderful meet and greet with us to give us and Moana time to get comfortable with her and was up for a 1 night "rest run" even which helped ease our minds and gave us a chance to stay with some friends nearby and celebrate a birthday. So grateful that we found Allie!

It is very hard to find people that you trust to stay in your house as well as take care of your fur babies, so I highly recommend Holly as do our fur babies! ❤️

About: Grew up with chickens, a horse, cats, and dogs so I have quite the pallet of experience. Started pet sitting last summer with putting signs in neighborhoods to take care of all kinds of pets. Took care of senior dogs to guinea pigs and cared for my own chihuahua who was on medication. Im extremely adaptable to any pet and instructions, and would love for your pet to be my next client! Currently working part-time at Raising Canes and taking online college courses so my schedule is pretty open! I love having variety in my day to day so my schedule is pretty inconsistent in the best way possible so I can work with pretty much whatever you throw at me! Unfortunately I’ve experienced dogs with aggressive behaviors, so I have very good sense of body language and keeping dogs comfortable and feelings safe. I love to get to know each pets liked and dislikes to give both of us the best experience possible!

About: 🐾 Reliable Pet Care with a Personal Touch Hi! My name is Tatyana, and I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats my entire life. I’ve had three dogs in my household at the same time for most of my life, giving me extensive hands-on experience with different personalities, energy levels, routines, and care needs. Whether your pet is outgoing, shy, playful, energetic, or prefers a slower pace, I understand that every animal is unique and deserves individualized care, patience, and attention. ⸻ 📸 FREE Pet Photography Included! As a photography student and aspiring photographer, I love capturing special moments with animals. During visits or pet-sitting stays, I’d be happy to take complimentary photos of your pet using my Nikon Coolpix P950 so you can receive adorable updates while you’re away. Think of it as a little bonus—cute photos, candid moments, and memories of your pet having fun while you’re gone! 🐶🐱✨ ⸻ 🤝 Meet & Greet Before Every First Booking I love meeting pets and their owners before providing any services. A quick meet-and-greet helps your pet become familiar with me, allows me to learn their routine and personality, and ensures we’re a great fit for one another. I charge a small $5 fee to help cover gas and travel costs for the visit. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel completely comfortable and confident before the booking begins. ⸻ 🐕 Experience with Shy & Nervous Dogs One of my recent pet-sitting experiences involved caring for a very shy dog during a full weekend house-sitting stay. Rather than forcing interaction, I respected the dog’s boundaries and allowed trust to develop naturally. Through patience, consistency, and a calm approach, I was able to help the dog feel safe, comfortable, and secure while its owner was away. I understand that some pets need extra time, reassurance, and understanding—and I’m happy to provide that. ⸻ 🏡 Safety, Structure & Peace of Mind When caring for pets, safety is always my top priority. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, walking routines, house rules, and any special requests you may have. I strive to maintain your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. You’ll also receive updates throughout my stay so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. ⸻ ✨ What Makes Me Different? 🐾 Lifelong experience caring for both dogs and cats 🐾 Comfortable with shy, anxious, high-energy, and senior pets 🐾 Flexible schedule and availability 🐾 Complimentary pet photography 🐾 Patient, attentive, and detail-oriented 🐾 Respectful of your home and routines 🐾 Dedicated to making pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable 🐾 Personalized care instead of a one-size-fits-all approach I genuinely love animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is simple: to make your time away as stress-free as possible for both you and your pet. ❤️ 📅 Scheduling & Availability My schedule is highly flexible! I am currently completing a fully online Pharmacy Technician program while working remotely for my family’s business. Since both my coursework and job can be completed from a computer, I have a very open and adaptable schedule. This flexibility allows me to accommodate daytime visits, evening visits, overnight stays, extended pet-sitting bookings, and, when available, last-minute requests. I understand that every pet owner’s schedule is different, so I do my best to be responsive, reliable, and accommodating whenever possible. If you have specific scheduling needs, feel free to reach out—I would be happy to discuss how I can help! 🐾 Flexible Scheduling • 🏡 Overnight Stays • 📸 Free Pet Photos • ❤️ Personalized Care 💕 Safety, Enrichment & Personalized Care Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with them rather than simply meeting their basic needs. I believe pets are happiest when they feel safe, understood, and engaged, so I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, and comfort level. 🐱 Mental Stimulation for Cats With my own cat, I make enrichment a priority. One of his favorite toys mimics bird sounds, and I love watching him stalk, chase, and interact with it. Keeping cats mentally stimulated helps prevent boredom and allows them to stay active, curious, and happy. Whether your cat loves to play or prefers quiet companionship, I’ll adapt to what makes them most comfortable. 🐶 Exercise & Safety for Dogs For dogs, regular exercise, supervision, and safety are always priorities. My family has always been intentional about creating safe environments for our pets. When we lived near a golf course, we even installed an additional fence around our yard for extra security and peace of mind. We never leave our pets outside for extended periods and always make sure they’re supervised, comfortable, and receiving plenty of attention. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, enrichment activities, or simply keeping a pet company, I believe every animal deserves patient, attentive care throughout the day. ❤️ Care Tailored to Your Pet I understand that every pet is different. Some pets immediately seek attention, while others need time to build trust. I’m happy to adjust my approach based on your pet’s personality, routine, energy level, and comfort zone. This is especially important for shy or nervous pets, who often benefit from patience, consistency, and gentle interactions. 📸 FREE Pet Photography Included! As an amateur photographer, I’d love to take adorable photos of your pets during my visits—completely free of charge! I’ll happily send photo updates so you can see how your furry family member is doing while you’re away. It’s one of my favorite ways to help owners feel connected to their pets and provide extra peace of mind. 🐾✨ 🛡️ Safety First • 🐾 Personalized Care • 📸 Free Pet Photos • ❤️ Plenty of Love & Attent

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🩷🩷

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!!!!

I appreciate Adam! I had been trying to prep for a trip in advance but scheduling work and other family things got hectic to plan. I appreciate the communication and being there with my cats. My cats are not the easy to please but took a liking to him almost immediately. Not sure when I’ll be leaving out of state again, but I recommend him if you’re a cat person.

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 🤗

Marianne exceeded our expectations in every way. She took wonderful care of our three dogs and gave extra attention to our extremely needy (and slightly stubborn!) German Shepherd. We were amazed to see how quickly our dogs bonded with her—she received more kisses, cuddles, and snuggles than we’ve ever seen them give to anyone outside of our family. Knowing our pets were so loved and well cared for gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Thank you, Marianne, for treating our fur babies as if they were your own. We will absolutely hire you again in the future and highly recommend you to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable pet sitter.

Jacy was so great with my two senior dogs! She made sure Mazy took her medicine every day even when she stopped eating the lunch meat we left for her to disguise it in. Jacy found another way to give her the pills. Jacy kept me regularly updated and included photos of my babies. As this was a two week stay, the dog's hair would have accumulated but Jacy vacuumed the house as well as washed all the dogs blankets before we returned home. Thank you, Jacy for giving us peace of mind while we were gone! 10/10

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 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.
