“Alyssa was fantastic. She was very communicative and made adjustments to help encourage eating with my difficult eater. She was great about getting he to take her medication as well.”
“My first time using this site , at first I was skeptical but Lauren proved to be very professional, trustworthy, and was always on time. She recently watched my dogs for 5 days while I was out of town and I have nothing but good things to say. Id 100% recommend and will be in contact with Lauren for future needs.”
“I had a great experience working with Samantha! She is very responsive and took the best photos of my cat while I was out of town. I would 100% recommend booking with her for your pets and I would be happy to work with her again in the future!”
“Stephanie did a wonderful job taking care of my pets. I have an old dog that is very fussy, a pit mix and two cats. She followed directions and asked questions when she needed to. I have total confidence in her ability to handle my pets. I didn’t worry about them while I was gone.”
About: I love pets and caring for them! I currently have one cat but I grew up surrounded by all kinds of animals! My family had great danes, a labradoodle, fish, birds, and more growing up. I’ve also helped care for cats and dogs of all sizes for friends. I currently work full time but my schedule is very flexible outside of work hours. I am also available to care for pets at anytime most weekends! I will care for your animals like they’re my own! I enjoy playing with animals who are active and just hanging out with animal who are chill. I’ve taken care of animals of all ages from puppies/ kittens to elderly animals who need medicine and special attention. All animals deserve to be cared for well.
“Chelsea was absolutely amazing watching our dogs. From the start, she was professional, reliable, and easy to communicate with, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. You can tell she genuinely cares and treats your pets like her own. While we were away, she kept us updated with messages and photos, which we really appreciated. The dogs looked happy, relaxed, and well taken care of the entire time. When we got back, everything was exactly how we left it, and the dogs were clearly comfortable and in great spirits. It’s not always easy trusting someone with your pets, especially with two, but Chelsea made it easy. We would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring dog sitter, and we will definitely be using her again.”
“Anna was fantastic!! I’m so glad I put my trust in her to take care of my babies. The check-in notes were great and she was also able to give my one cat his medicine successfully each morning. I’m very appreciative of everything, thank you!!”
“So lucky to have found Chelsea. She takes great care of my cat Miso while I am away. Sends the best pics! She goes above and beyond (namely repotting a plant for me that my cat knocked over). Would recommend to anyone looking for a rover!”
About: Hi! I’m Ashley, a dependable and attentive pet sitter who treats every animal like family. I have a background in healthcare and care coordination, which means I’m calm under pressure, detail-oriented, and very comfortable handling special needs, medications, and unique routines. I’ve worked closely with individuals who require extra attention and consistency — and I bring that same level of care to pets. Whether your dog needs long walks, your cat needs a calm companion, or your pet has specific medical or behavioral needs, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m especially attentive to: * Feeding schedules and dietary needs * Medication administration * Anxiety or behavioral sensitivities * Clear communication with pet parents You’ll always get updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. ⸻ Experience * Experience caring for pets with different temperaments and needs * Comfortable with senior pets and animals requiring medication * Strong attention to routine, safety, and environment I work from home, which allows me to have a flexible schedule and be more present during visits and provide consistent care for your pets. I care for pets by following their established routines closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and rest. I prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency in their environment. In a client’s home, I respect their space and ensure pets feel secure while maintaining their normal schedule. I provide attention, companionship, and regular updates with photos so owners stay informed.
“Bailey was an amazing cat sitter for our two bengals! She made sure they were well fed, spent time playing with them, and gave them lots of attention while we were away. Our cats are very outgoing and energetic, and she handled them so well. She also kept us updated with plenty of photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Bailey was always responsive, communicative, and clearly cared about our cats like they were her own. We would absolutely trust her to watch them again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“We had Taylor check in on our pups and cat while we were on a day trip. She spent the time to come over and meet our dogs beforehand and then stopped over twice when we were away. She was very communicative and showed up exactly when she said she would. Our older dog absolutely loved her and Taylor played in the backyard with both dogs during her visit. Taylor was so wonderful and patient when our little dog refused to come in the house. She called us and asked for tips so we could help. We appreciate the open communication because we know how stubborn our little dog can be! We would highly recommend Taylor for any pet sitting needs.”
“We love Kenzie and will continue to book with her for any future needs. Our pup was safe and happy the entire time we were gone. This was our first time all away from our 7mo old puppy. Kenzie provided updates and pictures and gave us complete peace of mind while we traveled. She was so sweet and accommodating to our needs. We had a family emergency and she was caring, willing and flexible. Absolutely recommend!!”
“Nicole was great! They took care of my cat for 6 days. Nicole had great communication and took lots of notes when doing our walk through. I would highly recommend Nicole to take care of anyone’s animal :)”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for most of my life, including my own dog who is now 16 years old. I’ve had her since she was just 8 weeks old, so I understand the different stages of a dog’s life, from energetic puppies to elderly dogs who need extra patience, gentleness, and hands-on care. As she’s gotten older, I’ve helped with mobility support, special routines, medications, and making sure she stays comfortable and happy. My husband also grew up around puppies because his mom was a breeder, so I’ve been around litters, young dogs, and all the extra attention and care they need as well. I truly love both dogs and cats, and I naturally have a lot of patience with animals. I understand that every pet has their own personality, comfort level, and routine, and I always try to make them feel safe, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I run my business online and spend most of my time at home. Outside of going to the gym or running errands like grocery shopping, I’m usually home throughout the day, which allows me to give pets lots of attention, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship. A lot of my day already revolves around caring for my own little old lady, my 16 year old dog, whether that’s taking her outside, helping her stay comfortable, or giving her some extra lovin’ :) I genuinely enjoy being around animals, so caring for pets feels less like a task and more like something I naturally love to do. When caring for pets in someone else’s home, I always make it a priority to be respectful of both the pets and the space I’m in. I really value my own home and personal space, so I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy who will treat your home with the same care and respect. My focus is always on making sure your pets feel safe, loved, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Your home is your personal space, and I’m simply there to care for your sweet angels and keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible :)
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, and caring for them truly comes naturally to me. I had a 106 lb German Shepherd for 8 years, and during that time I received professional training so I could properly train and care for her, giving me a strong foundation in structure, behavior, and handling larger breeds. Most recently, I lived in a home with four pets (both cats and dogs), where I helped manage daily care, routines, and lots of love and attention. I’ve also fostered animals, which has taught me patience, adaptability, and how to help pets feel safe and comfortable in new environments. What sets me apart is my ability to balance structure with affection—I’m attentive, intuitive to each pet’s needs, and experienced with different personalities, from playful and energetic to calm or senior pets who need a gentler approach. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or simply providing a calm, loving presence, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I work from home part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive, consistent care. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine—whether that’s walks, playtime, feedings, or cuddle sessions. I bring a calm, “pet concierge” approach to every visit, keeping routines smooth, spaces clean, and pets happy. From energetic dogs who love activity to cats who prefer a more relaxed, on-their-terms vibe, I tailor my care to each pet’s personality—making sure they feel safe, loved, and just a little bit spoiled. Safety and trust are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I create a calm, clean, and secure environment where they can feel comfortable and at ease. In a client’s home, I’m very respectful of your space and your pet’s routine—keeping feeding schedules, walks, litter care, and any specific instructions consistent. I pay close attention to details, from securely locking doors to ensuring pets are always supervised and safe. In my home, pets are welcomed into a peaceful, pet-friendly environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and cozy spots to relax. I’m mindful of introductions, boundaries, and maintaining a stress-free atmosphere for every pet. I take a thoughtful, attentive approach—reading each pet’s behavior, keeping a watchful eye, and providing updates so you feel confident and connected while you’re away. My goal is for you to feel complete peace of mind, knowing your pet is safe, loved, and in very good hands.
About: I have been around dogs my whole life! I have never been in the predicament to buy one but my family has always had them. They truly are a gift to this world! I'm currently working remotely which means I have a lot of free time in between meetings. As long as the communication is there I can be available! Currently, live with roommates so I would not be able to cater to your fur babies needs at my home at this time. Hopefully soon!
About: I used to be a pet care sitter/walker for a company called Pack Leaders in Midtown, Atlanta Ga.I just moved to Phoenix, Az would just like to extend my services to rover to provide in home sittings or walkings in the downtown Phoenix area. I worked with them for them for about 3 years and received professional training. I also worked at a doggy daycare for about a year after that, caring for multiple dogs at once. I love animals and especially dogs :) I currently live with 3 dogs and 2 cats. I grew up on a farm as a kid, so we always had at least 3-4 dogs on the farm at the time. We also had cats and many other kinds of animals, so I have grown up around animals my whole life. I look forward to meeting with you and getting something booked! 😊 I am going to school full time starting in January so I will book in evenings mostly. I will also have a part time job so I will update availability weekly. I can do walks or if you have a backyard I will let the dogs out as needed to use the bathroom or simply have outside time.

Dominick is a fantastic pet sitter! She was so kind and caring with my pups and I loved her recaps each day. Dominick is organized and timely. She was thorough and went above and beyond what I expected. She made me feel very confident and assured that my pups were well taken care of while I was away. I would absolutely book with her again!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Phoenix stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Phoenix 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!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Phoenix with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
