“It is very obvious she knows cats. She has great communication and was actually able to get our skiddish cat to come out and eat her food with her there (and also get a picture). Not only did she make us comfortable but our cats felt safe with her. Definitely will consider her for the future.”

“This is the first time I hired a pet sitter for my cat Taz. I was worried about this because Taz is a senior cat and I've never left Taz alone with a stranger. Stephanie exceeded my expectations. She took excellent care of Taz and showed him love and affection as if he was her own. I appreciated the check-in updates along with the pictures and videos. I would definitely use Stephanie in the future.”

About: Experience caring for anxious and/or special needs animals (diapers, mobility issues, medication, senior dogs, puppies) both professionally and personally. I’ve had dogs my entire life and have been pet sitting on and off for family friends and neighbors since I was a teenager, but started doing so more professionally in the past 5 years. Most of my experience is with overnight care for dogs (ranging from a single night to a full month at a time) but I’m an animal lover with personal experience caring for every kind of pet imaginable (horses, ferrets, fish, cats, bunnies, reptiles/tortoises). I work very flexible hours part-time which mostly consists of work from home, this leaves my schedule wide open for overnight care and long stays. Very good at keeping consistency with feeding and medication schedules, as well as making sure potty breaks taken as frequently as needed (experience with special needs dogs who require being let outside/cleaned up after much more than other dogs).
About: My first dog I got when I was in the 4th grade. She changed my life. Now I’ve never been able to connect with a dog on that level since her but I still love them. & hope some day I will be able to give my kids that. I am a single mom with 3 kids under the age of 6. Adding a fur baby to the mix just isn’t in the cards for me right now. & after this year I’m looking to get back on my feet. So I thought this could be a good way to make some extra money to help us. We are a very active bunch. Love hiking, walking, and pretty much anything outdoors. Like I said before we are always outside. I like to take walks in the morningsevenings. Love hiking. I work from home so I can make my own schedule. Depends on the dog. Just like my kids each one is different. What works for one might not work for the other. I would like to mimic as much as the dogs normal as possible.
“Jacqueline has been a wonderful support for my sweet kitty during my long days at work. I have noticed that my cat is happier when I get home after spending time with Jacqueline.”

I know how important exercise and routines are for your animals, so I make sure to provide walks and playtime. I will strictly follow all of your feeding schedule, medication needs, and house rules to ensure a seamless transition for your pet.

I am studying for a big exam, so please be patient as I navigate requests. I prefer to watch your fur babies in your own home to have them in a comfortable environment. I provide long walks, enrichment with dog toys, as well as cuddles and attention.
“Angel is so kind, and great. She made my pet feel so loved, and comfortable while I was gone. She was SUPER attentive to my pets needs, and mine. 10/10 recommended Angel for your pets!!”

About: Owned 3 dogs throughout my childhood and always happy to help a friend with theirs when needed! Main experience is with small and medium dogs. I am available for drop ins throughout the day on weekdays and weekends! I am currently looking for work so my schedule may change, however I update my calendar daily. I treat every pet I meet like they're my own and will ensure we are aligned on what care is needed for each visit as well as provide updates upon request.
“First time and we couldn’t be happier! Megan was reliable, kept us informed with great pictures of our cats and how they were engaged with her! She signed on for 2 cats, then we brought in a 3rd! Megan didn’t blink an eye - she embraced the addition! Highly recommend her and thank her for allowing us to enjoy our time away!”

About: I was raised by Cocker spaniels when I was little. I grew up loving animals, dogs and cats alike. Among the many gifts my parents gave my sister and I is the love for animals and the Lord. I live with my parents who have on property 7 horses and dogs. My sister breeds sheepadoodles and we dog sit for the families who bought my sister’s pups. When my parents go on vacation I will feed both, dogs and horses. I cat sit now twice a year for a friend from church and would love to get to know my local community by doing the same thing if possible. Very well. Especially if the customer/client is close. I’m pretty open and flexible with my schedule. Im always willing to help out and make things more comfortable and fun. I care for any animal with love and affection. I am very grateful for the opportunity and trust that comes I with loving an animal.
“Krystyna was super accommodating to my last minute request, super responsive and communicative, and took awesome care of my pup. I would highly recommend her to anyone!! ☺️”

About: I have a good amount of experience caring for animals. This is a friendly environment with room to run in and out. I'm a hands on sitter and animal lover. I work in the area I live and check in between appointments on the dogs. The rest of the time I'm here and home on weekends. My kids are home for the summer. There are many areas for the dogs to relax and feel comfortable. There are several water stations inside and outside. The backyard is 75% shaded during the daytime hours.
“I searched for the right dog sitter for my English Bulldog Gigi and my little rescue mix Petey. I found Nicholas and was not disappointed! He has a calm, confident demeanor that works well with being a caretaker of dogs. In my instance it helped that he has English Bulldogs himself so he knows that they can be nippy, protective and scrappy. He demonstrated a keen sense of how to interact with Gigi and each visit he made progress with her. His detailed recaps of his visits gave me a great peace of mind while I was away. He is thorough, caring, responsive and trustworthy. He takes care of my dogs as if they were his own. I truly appreciate his ability to take care of my two and am looking forward to continued use of his services. I highly recommend Nicholas to take of your pets!”

About: I have worked with a pet rescue with my family. I have worked with all animals. I have always loved animals and grew up with them. I work at a preschool during the week Monday and Tuesday 8-4 Wednesday 8-1 and Thursday and Friday 8-4. My weekends are open availability and love meeting new animals. I have been dog sitting for a few different families. Occasionally I have had them at my apartment but I mostly watch them in their environment so they are more comfortable. I feed and give them water, play with them so they get exercise and let them out to go to the bathroom, take dogs for a walk when it is cool out.
“Andrea did a great job with our three dogs. This was our first using a service like this, and we were a little nervous. However, Andrea was prompt, responsible, and took great care of our dogs! Highly recommend!!”

About: I recently lost my 16-year-old Shih Tzu, Harper, who was a huge part of my life. Caring for him through every stage of life, especially his senior years, gave me extensive experience with patience, routines, medication support, comfort care, and recognizing dogs’ individual needs. I am comfortable caring for both small and large dogs and provide a calm, clean, smoke-free home environment. Your dog will have access to a spacious, air-conditioned 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home with a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time. There are no other animals or children in the home, allowing for a peaceful environment and plenty of individualized attention. As a school principal, responsibility, communication, safety, and trust are part of my everyday life. I understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet with someone dependable, loving, and attentive. During the school year, I have my full-time role as an elementary school principal. I'm typically away from home Monday through Friday from approximately 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. If your dog is comfortable being home during those hours—similar to a typical workday—I would love to care for them! Before and after work, your pet will receive plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, walks (if requested), cuddles, and lots of love. One of the perks of my career is having several school breaks throughout the year. During fall, winter, spring, summer breaks, and long weekends, my schedule is much more flexible, allowing me to spend significantly more time at home with your pet. If you're looking for boarding during one of those breaks, your dog will enjoy even more companionship and attention throughout the day. My home is safe, smoke-free, and has a fully fenced yard. Transparency is important to me, so if your pet requires constant supervision or frequent midday care during the workweek, I may not be the best fit. However, if your dog is comfortable with a typical workday routine, I'd be happy to welcome them into my home. As a school principal, responsibility, communication, and creating a safe, caring environment are at the heart of what I do every day—and I bring those same qualities to caring for your pets. I provide a safe, calm, clean, and loving environment where pets can feel comfortable and cared for while away from their families. In my home, dogs will have access to a spacious, air-conditioned 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home with a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time and potty breaks. My home is smoke-free with no other pets or children, which allows me to provide individualized attention and a peaceful environment. I carefully follow each pet owner’s instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications, sleeping arrangements, routines, and any special needs. I understand how important consistency and communication are for pets, especially seniors or dogs adjusting to a new environment. As a school principal, safety, responsibility, supervision, and communication are part of my daily life, and I bring those same qualities into pet care. My goal is to make both pets and their owners feel safe, comfortable, and confident while in my care.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for over 25 years. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and keep company. I’m currently working full-time as a teacher for Deer Valley School District, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups and cats. I’m very cautious with walking dogs in public. I will always have animals on leashes and making sure that we’re not near any other people or other animals.
About: Hello & welcome to your search for a loving caregiver for you fur babes! I am happy you are here! I am excited to meet your kiddos and have the opportunity to give them love and attention while you are away. My family has 6 dogs and has always had pets growing up! I love to take my dog everywhere I go and he is basically my son. I have previously watched pets in my home and now am looking forward to watching your pets, doing day visits, and walks to help ease your schedule and their needs. I am currently my own boss and work throught the day at my own pace and schedule. I have a flexible schedule and wide availability to be there for you and your sweet babies. I am happy to care for you pet in whatever way best suites them & you. That being said prompt feedings, walks, play time, and potty breaks are priority for me. I want your pet to be as relaxed as you are when you are away.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 New River 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!

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 .
