“They where amazing, if your an anxious pet parent like me it can be hard to travel and to find the right sitter. They are really responsive and communicative with everything. I always got pictures and videos, and it made the trip way more relaxing. They followed the directions every-time and asked the best questions. As well as always being on time. Overall I felt good knowing they were taking care of my cat. This sitter is 100% anxiety/OCD approved🫡 I will be using them again in the future for sure.”

“Cody was absolutely everything we needed for our fur babies while we were out of town. Knowing our babies were safe with Cody and could be taken care of, took so much worry off our minds. Thank you Cody! Would highly recommend Cody again for any pet sitting!”

About: Hi! I’m Maddy, and I’m excited to finally join Rover after years of being the gal who’s friends, neighbors, and people in my community have trusted to take care of their dogs. I’ve cared for dogs of all different sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities, and I genuinely love getting to know each dog’s individual routine and quirks. Whether your dog needs a good walk, a midday check-in, some company while you’re away, or just a little extra attention, I’m happy to help. I recently moved from California to the Scottsdale area and decided that this was the perfect time to officially join Rover. I have some extra flexibility during the week and would love to spend that time getting outside, meeting some new dogs, and helping local pet parents. I’m dependable, communicative, and very attentive to the little details that make your dog comfortable. I’m also happy to send photos and updates so you don’t have to wonder how your pup is doing while you’re away. I’m new to Rover, but definitely not new to dogs! I’m looking forward to building some new relationships with Scottsdale’s dogs and their humans. 🐾 I recently moved to the Scottsdale area and have a flexible schedule during the week, which gives me plenty of time for dog walks and drop-in visits. I’m available throughout the day and can work with different routines and schedules. I treat every pet as an individual and take time to learn their routine, personality, and needs. I’m attentive to safety, keep owners updated, and always make sure pets are comfortable and cared for.

About: I've loved and cared for all sorts of critters, from newborn kittens to senior dogs (plus tigers, bears, parakeets and rabbits in between). It's my goal to ensure your pets feel safe, go on some adventures, and have some time to play. I would love to be part of your weekly routine. I am a Ph D. Candidate working on completing my dissertation so my schedule is flexible and forgiving. I care for two dogs at home (a senior husky and a rottie mix puppy). I love taking them to the dog park or long boarding along the Green Belt. For home care- your pets will go on at least a 15 minute walk, followed by an essentials check (food, water, health check-in). I am happy to accommodate quirky pets who need a little extra attention. 🥰

“Best cat sitter in Scottsdale! 😸✨ I’ve tried a few sitters in the area and have had others from Rover in the past but Stephanie is my favorite by far. She is easy to talk to and welcomes all the minute details about your pets likes, dislikes, needs, and wants, and goes out of her way to make sure they are happy while you’re away. She has much needed common sense that can sometimes be hard to come by, and I feel comfortable trusting her to look after my space and my Squirrely. Thanks Stephanie!!”

“Elisa is amazing. One of our cats managed to get locked in a closet and Elisa found her on day 1 of a 4 day trip. Our cats usually hide with new visitors and if it wasn’t for Elisa’s attention to detail I don’t know what would have happened to our cat. I highly recommend Elisa to anyone looking for a fantastic pet sitter.”

About: Growing up in the outdoors with dogs all my life, I’ve taken a special liking to getting down and dirty with them. I have had dogs and cats growing up and am able to cater to any personality. I specialize in big dogs with lots of energy that need to get out and play! I also spent 2 years as a live in sitter for my aunts English bulldog, so I can adapt to smaller…sleepier friends. I am new to the Scottsdale area as I am from Santa Barbara, CA. I look forward to exploring new places with new furry friends! I am new to the area and currently have a wide open schedule! I can cater to anytime of day needed for drop ins, feedings, walks…etc. I have no pets of my own at my new place as of now, so yours gets 100% of my attention. I am in a beautiful apartment complex with potty areas all around. A safe and easy neighborhood walking route to a nearby park is ideal for any pet. Walking length can be adjusted to the individual pets needs.

“I came back home to a very happy kitty!! I was so nervous to leave Loki for the first time, but Bridget sent me a ton of photos and made me feel at ease throughout my trip. She spent a lot of time playing with him, brushing him, and chilling at his favorite spot on the balcony. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!💗”

“10/10 Experience !! Sophia did such a phenomenal job for the week she watched my kitties- the daily updates was really nice, and the many photos also proved to be such a comfort! My girl cat Ambrosia can be pretty skittish with visitors, and it was such a relief to hear that around day 3, she was warming up quite nicely to Sophia (aka, not running to another room like a rocket lol). I've got some summer trips planned and will definitely be booking again!”

She sent messages everyday to give us updates and she made special efforts to befriend Luger during the time. We’re so appreciative of her thoughtful care and would be glad to hire her again.

About: As a current dog mom, I understand how tough it can be to leave your pup in someone else’s care. That’s why I hope to be your pet’s aunt- a trusted, loving and dependable person for your family. I’ve had my own dog for 6 years, and have taken her through training. I’d love to help work on cues with your dog you may be working on. Prior to my dog, I owned a cat for 13 years. He was diabetic and required extensive care. Due to his medical conditions, I am very comfortable administering medications to animals. I also understand the importance of routine and time for our sweet fur babies. I work from home. If boarding, you can expect your pet to be with me, fully cared for and attended to during the day. With my dog currently, I plan for 2 longer walks during the day- morning and evening. I live close to several beautiful parks and frequent that spot if your dog would enjoy that. If not, my neighborhood has safe sidewalks and quiet streets. It is a cul de sac neighborhood so vehicles are not cutting through the area. While I don’t have a yard, I walk my dog on longer walks 2x a day, and let her out several times as needed throughout the day. All times out are on leash through a quiet neighborhood. Pets are allowed on furniture and beds. I’m happy to accommodate your rules for your pet while here. Dogs should be good with other dogs. I have a small beagle mix Ruby (pictured above) who ADORES every dog and would love to interact with others.

Dominique was patient with me, answered all my questions, and made me feel so safe leaving my dog at home, with her daily visits. She was consistent with communication, pictures, and letting me know how my boy was doing. I would highly recommend her, and plan on using her again for my rover needs. Thank you Dominique!”

About: I’m a huge animal lover. I have a 3 year old son. He’s a Shih Tzu. While working and attending school, I wouldn’t mind some added puppy therapy. It goes such a long way to relieve stress. I’m a helicopter dog mom myself so rest assured I’m very proficient at communication and care for the wellbeing of you and your fur baby. I’m looking more at dog walking opportunities or even checking in while parents are away! On weekends, I’m available all day if not scheduled to work. On weekdays, I’m available after school around 1pm MST also if not scheduled to work. Work is part-time. Just please message me ahead of time to coordinate that works best for the both of us. My work schedule goes a month out. If you’d like me to walk them during the daytime, please provide shoes for them. In the summertime, shoes are necessary but during the winter not as much. For those who may not know or who aren’t from AZ, the hot asphalt and cement can severely burn their little paws. They’re very important! After every walk and drop off, I will give an overview of our walk. I send picture updates if requested just so you can see how happy they are on their walk!

About: I’m a reliable, active, and loving dog caregiver. I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, so I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. I also walk about 7 miles a day, so I’m very comfortable keeping up with active dogs and making sure they get plenty of exercise, playtime, and attention. Most importantly, I treat every dog like they’re my own! 🐾❤️ I currently work 9-5pm with 3 days in office and Tuesday and Thursday from home. I can do overnights, dog walking/feeding in the morning and evenings! I’m also open to boarding small dogs at my apartment. I have an apartment in a safe, dog-friendly community with a nice neighborhood nearby for walks, and my complex also has a dedicated dog park for exercise and play. If caring for a pet in my home, I would provide plenty of attention, walks, playtime, fresh water, and a safe, comfortable environment while following their normal routine. If caring for a pet in the client’s home, I would make sure they feel comfortable and cared for in their own space, follow their feeding, walking, medication, and potty routines, and give them lots of attention and companionship while respecting their home.

Trisha was AMAZING! She was fantastic as a drop in caretaker of my 3 cats and their unique needs. I was able to leave town for nearly 3 weeks and Trisha’s care for my cats put me at ease. She sent tons of photos and is a great communicator. I would 100% book Trisha again and definitely recommend her to others. Thank you Trisha!

Thank you Elisa for this great service! We have three cats, all with different personalities. Only the two females don’t get along at all. We’ve practically divided up our house, and it’s become “normal” for us to switch the cats between floors. Can you ask a stranger to do this? Will they understand? Yes and yes! Our first impression of Elisa was immediately positive. Her loving nature was paired with the highest level of professionalism. Our cats came first. Elisa kept us updated the whole time with photos of our furry friends. We were able to enjoy our trip with peace of mind, knowing our cats were in the best hands. We highly recommend Elisa and would book her again anytime. Special thanks to Elisa for this very positive experience with a great heart. And all our plants survived:)

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Paradise Valley

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Paradise Valley is $24 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $37 per visit. 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.

As of October 2026, there are 7,396 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Paradise Valley. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

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.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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 .

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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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.

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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
