About: Hey! Mark and Kendall here 🐾 We want to walk your dog!! We're looking for more ways to get fresh air, as well as the lovely fulfillment that comes from playing with animals, and honestly we could use the exercise! lol. I have a bunch of dog toys too - let me know what game they like to play the most (frisbee, catch, tug-of-war) or if they're just chill and more snuggly- that's no problem either! We live in a residential home that has a large backyard with a pool, and even a doggy door [fits up to large dogs]! We are both animal lovers of all kinds, and are needing some doggo/kitty time. With 2 intentional animal care takers, your pet will surely have all the pets, mental stimulation, emotional connection, and exercise they can get! We are both available full-time for the moment and are eager to fill our time warming our hearts and helping our community <3 {Kendall} Having grown up with dogs my whole life, I've grown such an attachment to having a bundle of joy around. My family recently moved and brought the dogs with them. So living without pets for the past 8 months made me realized how important it is for me to care for loving lil sweethearts. Besides raising multiple dogs growing up, my pet sitting experience is limited to petting sitting my family-friend's dogs on several occasions. I'm able to walk dogs, feed them medicine, I almost always get dogs to warm up to me, especially through playing frisbee, catch, or tug-of-war! I also love a good relax time with the dogs, I can usually match the dogs vibe pretty well. {Mark} Hello all Im Mark, just like Kendall i have also grown up in a house with at least 1 dog present. I naturally get along with animals very well and try to give them a safe and comfortable space to be in. I will often times play the acoustic guitar in the house and al ot of the dogs ive done that around love to just lay near the music and relax, my familys bulldog would be a good example as he loves laying next to me while I play. Im excited to meet your pets! - Marky and Kenny Bear <3 My partner and I are full-time artists living in a spacious residential home. We're currently living at home full-time - which is a perfect opportunity to pet sit! We do leave the house about once a day (for groceries, events, dates, etc.) though someone may still be home. We also occasionally have people over, though they're almost all pet owners or vet techs. Also, every couple months we travel out of state to visit with family (and get out of the Phoenix heat!) Though since it's cooling down, we want to get outside and enjoy the nice weather, especially with a cutie bean of a pet! {Kendall} I'm an artist and part-time online reseller. My days often look like watering the garden, creating art at my desk or editing videos on my computer, listing items for sale online, as well as cook and clean. I do have friends over occasionally, though no worries- most of my friends are vet-techs believe it or not, or at least multiple-pet owners themselves. {Mark} I'm a musician who's recently produced an improvisational album and am currently working on distributing and releasing it to the public, as well as filming music videos. My days look like playing guitar for hours, working on my computer, watching football, and honestly playing video games. I've had a full-time job most of my life, but very recently switched to owning my own schedule. I'd be truly happy to care for a lil creature in the meantime! We are looking to fill our time directed towards caring for sweet animals, helping our community, and getting fresh air & exercise while doing it! We have a lovely, clean and spacious home with a fenced backyard. We have a doggy door, treats, a bunch of toys, a dog bed, and even a pool! There are no other animals who live here, which may benefit certain animals. We live in a lovely gated neighborhood to walk them in. Better yet (if you're okay with it), there's a glorious concrete and dirt trail along Sonoran Desert Drive that we already love walking on, might as well walk a dog too! We're excited to play with doggos, walk them, even swim with them! We're also excited to relax by the fireplace, listen to acoustic guitar or piano, or even cat nap in the sunlight glow in the courtyard. We're aware of more than just their basic needs, especially with a loving and conscious couple like us caring for your pet, we will ensure routine food, water, and exercise, as much as playtime, mental & emotional engagement, and intuitive attentiveness.

“Sage did an excellent job with our 2 senior chihuahuas! I was a little leery about how they would behave with having a stranger come into our home, but they loved her and were happy to see her when she stopped by. She was attentive to their needs and provided feedback when she noticed something amiss. Thank you again, Sage, for taking care of our babies!”

About: Ive grown up with dogs and have six years of hands-on experience caring for my own pets, along with pet sitting and drop-in visits for other families. Senior dogs have a special place in my heart. I cared for both of my family’s dogs in their senior years, including my 14-year-old dog who recently passed away. When she became sick while my parents were away, I took her to vet appointments, gave her medications, helped her with potty breaks and gentle walks, and lifted her onto and off the bed. That experience taught me patience, attentiveness, and how much the little things matter when a dog needs extra support. I’ve also provided overnight care, including a recent weeklong stay with a puppy who wasn’t feeling well and needed someone with her around the clock. I stayed with her throughout the week, and was there for about 20/24 hours in the day, so she had the company and care her family requested. Whether your dog needs a check-in, overnight company, extra help for the puppy's or extra patience in their senior years, I’ll take the time to understand their routine, follow your instructions, and keep you updated. I’m currently not working, and am finishing school so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets attention and company. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays during the week and on weekends. I can plan my day around your pet’s usual routine, including feeding times, potty breaks, playtime, rest, and any needs your animal might have (medications, trouble moving, etc). When caring for pets in your home, I’ll follow your instructions closely and keep their routine as familiar as possible. Before a booking, I like to discuss feeding, medications, behavior, and any special needs, along with your vet’s information and emergency contacts. I’ll check that doors and gates are secure, use a leash on walks, and stay attentive to how your pet is feeling. I give pets time to get comfortable with me and never force interaction. I’ll also respect your home, keep pet areas tidy, and send photos and updates. If I notice a change in your pet’s behavior, appetite, or energy, I’ll communicate with you promptly.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities, from energetic pups to relaxed seniors. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, maintaining feeding and potty schedules, administering oral medications, and adapting to each dog’s unique routine. I understand that every dog has different needs, whether that’s a leisurely walk, playtime, extra patience with anxiety, or simply quiet companionship. I pay close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, and energy level so I can quickly communicate anything important to you. Your dog’s safety and comfort always come first, and I’ll treat them with the same love, patience, and care I’d want for my own pets. Hi! I’m a dependable, detail-oriented animal lover who understands that pets are family. I have experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I work from home the majority of the month and am home every Monday and Friday. On those days, my children are at school, so it’s just me, my two cats, and your pet at home. This gives your pet plenty of attention, companionship, and a calm environment throughout the day. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so communication is a priority. You’ll receive regular updates with photos, videos, and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, energy level, medications, and favorite activities so they receive personalized care. Whether your pet loves walks and playtime or prefers a quiet day with lots of cuddles and relaxation, I’ll follow their routine and make sure they feel comfortable. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness will always come first. Your pet’s safety is my highest priority. Before every booking, I like to learn about your pet’s routine, personality, medical needs, triggers, and favorite activities so I can provide care that’s as close to home as possible. If caring for your pet in my home, I only accept calm, well-mannered dogs that are comfortable around cats, since I have two cats of my own. Dogs stay indoors in a clean, smoke-free home, receive potty breaks at least three times a day, fresh water at all times, and walks as needed. For visits in your home, I respect your space, carefully follow your instructions, and make sure your pet stays comfortable by maintaining their normal routine. I treat every home with the same care and respect I would expect for my own.

About: I have experience caring and owning dogs and have fully experienced the many different personalities each pet can have. I'm very comfortable dealing with anxious and excited doggos and have no problem taking time to build a relationship with each one. I am currently unemployed so I am able to care for pets at all times of the day and stay overnight to keep then company. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their usual routine, and any instructions provided for pets needing medication. I also spend additional time bonding with them and letting them get used to me being around even if that means keeping my distance until they work up to me. I have 0 problems handling pets with potty issues as most of the ones I watch have accidents waiting for me when I arrive!

About: Hi! I’m Patience ! With over 10 years of experience caring for pets—ranging from energetic puppies to senior cats—I treat every pet like part of my family. As a lifelong animal lover, I understand that pets need tailored care to feel comfortable while you're away. A typical day in my care includes a morning walk, plenty of play sessions with chew toys, and quiet cuddles in the evening. For seniors, I focus on gentle, short walks and ensuring they have soft bedding and a calm environment. I work from home full-time, which means your pet will have company throughout the day. My schedule is flexible, allowing for frequent potty breaks every 2–3 hours and mid-day play sessions. I usually take a longer walk in the late afternoon to help them burn off energy before dinner. Your pet's safety is my top priority. I require a meet-and-greet to ensure we are a perfect match. I only communicate through Rover for your security and mine. I am highly observant of behavior, ensuring pets are never put in stressful situations and that their environment is secure.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - New River

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 560 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across New River. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

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.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in New River. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 91% 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.

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.
