“Angela is AMAZING! My sweet dog has some unique medical needs and is spoiled so I am hesitant to leave my dog with many people. Angela took the best care of her and made me feel so comfortable knowing she was taken care of so well.”
“Dane was absolutely amazing with our animals over the holidays! He took great care of our three dogs and two cats and gave us daily updates. I also came home to an incredibly clean house! I would highly recommend Dane to anyone who is need of pet sitting and/or home sitting!”
“Zadonna took wonderful care of Moo! She was very responsive and sent lots of pictures and videos!! She also took wonderful care of my home and made sure Moo had company while I was traveling!”
“I don’t even know where to start, Kim is the best dog sitter I’ve ever had. I’ve had some really bad experiences in the past and she’s helped me with all my anxieties of leaving my dogs. Communicating with her is like talking to your girlfriend. She is beyond respectful my place was completely spotless when I got home and my dog seemed so happy. I’m already booking her in the next couple weeks. I’m so excited to have her as someone trustworthy for my dogs!”
“Jessica is THE BEST!! She was so thorough in learning my pup's routine and little quirks, and he warmed up to her right away. She was great with giving me updates and pics while I was gone, and it's the best feeling knowing he's safe and having a good time while I'm away!”
“Sherry watched our chihuahua Quinnie for 4 days. Our little pup can be standoffish to others and becomes very sad when we leave her. She refuses food and won’t interact. Sherry came in and won her over. Quinnie played and chased and ate her food every day. Sherry was efficient in walking her twice a day also and messaged us with photos and updates morning and night. This gave us peace of mind and relief that our little one was being well cared for. A big thank you to Sherry for watching and caring for Quinnie. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a very special dog sitter.”
“Rosa was amazing with Ollie. She updated me as needed. She was very kind and patient with Ollie as she takes a little while to warm up to people. Ollie loved her! I will definitely be booking again when I need!”
About: Animals are a huge part of my life and even my creative work — I’m a watercolor pet portrait artist, so I spend a lot of time getting to know pets, their personalities, expressions, and the special connection they have with their people. I’m also a pet parent myself and absolutely love spending time around animals. I have a cat of my own, and caring for him has taught me how important patience, routine, attention, and trust are. I’m naturally active and walk every day, so dog walking fits perfectly into my lifestyle. I genuinely enjoy being outside, exploring the neighborhood, and giving dogs the exercise, attention, and companionship they need. Every pet has a different personality, and I’m happy to follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routine. Whether I’m taking your dog for a walk, stopping by for feeding and playtime, or spending some quiet time with your cat, I want them to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I also know how important communication is when someone else is caring for your pet. I’m happy to send photo updates so you can see how your pet is doing while you’re away. For me, animals aren’t just a side job — they’re genuinely one of the things I love most. I’m a watercolor pet portrait artist with a flexible schedule, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I already walk every day and would love to make dog walks part of that routine. Working independently also gives me flexibility for daytime walks, drop-in visits, and plenty of one-on-one attention for each pet. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priority. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, routines, feeding schedules, and any special preferences. During walks, dogs stay securely leashed and I pay close attention to their behavior and surroundings. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of the space and always double-check doors, gates, food, water, and anything related to the pet’s safety. I’m also happy to send photos and updates so you always know how your pet is doing.
“Tia did an amazing job. She was respectful and was so kind to my dogs. We will definitely be hiring her again to watch our pups. When we got home, they searched the house for her they loved her so much!”
About: Life long pet haver and animal lover! I have dogs and cats of my own and have been helping take care of pets for friends, family, and neighbors for years. I have experience with both cats and dogs from healthy to handi-capable, and from young to old! I have a veterinarian in the family so another expert opinion just a call away if ever needed. Currently I am available all week. I work from home but I am able to be fully flexible with it! I am up early in the mornings for walks before the heat or I can stay over with your critters to keep them company! I take pet care very seriously. My experience with animals over the years has helped me get comfortable with all different temperaments. I am able to adapt to energy levels to make sure every pet and pet owner gets a personalized experience. If your pet needs 24/7 attention (like my yorkipoo) then I will pet them 24/7. If your pet likes their independence or is timid then I will give them the space they need while making sure they still feel safe and comfortable. All pets are unique and it is important to treat them as such.
About: I have lived with a dog for my whole life. I have volunteered at shelters . When it comes to dog sitting and or walking I feel like my skills perfectly correlate. I know how to take my time to get a dog to trust me . I know how to make a dog feel comfortable. I’m very soft gentle and kind . I also can be strict and make my point heard. I know how to be a person a dog will fall in love with. My special skills are making people, dogs , anything feel comfortable to be around me. One on one with a dog is where I strive . I can really make a dog understand that I’m not danger and that I’m going to be good to them and love them . What sets me apart is my ability to adapt and change in any situation I don’t panic I just figure out a way to solve it . Having a dog can get overwhelming but if you are prepared and know what you are doing you will not get overwhelmed with caring for a dog.
“Jessica was fantastic! There’s nothing more we could have hoped for. The dogs were well taken care of, the house was in great shape (even with a wild puppy she had to watch), her communication was great, I’d highly recommend Jessica. She couldn’t have been better!”
“Leah and Charles kept our babies fed and happy! They left our house in immaculate condition and sent pictures of our pups throughout our trip. We will definitely reach out to them again for a future trip! If you are looking for a sitter for your pets, Leah and Charles are an excellent choice!”
“Elizabeth was the perfect fit for my pup! She sent amazing updates while I was out of town for a weekend and I could see how happy he was in the photos she sent. Would recommend her without hesitation- thanks Elizabeth!!”
“Sharlene was awesome! She took care of our puppy Comet and was available under very short notice. She took him on walks and he was pretty happy when we came back ?”
“Taevyn is the best! She was super patient with my high energy Australian Shepherd and adjusted care to her needs perfectly. We got updates with photos every day, and she went above and beyond leaving our space clean when we got back from our trip. I genuinely think our dog misses her already, so we can’t wait to book again!”

From high-energy pups to senior dogs, I know how to make every animal feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their people are away. In my free time, I volunteer at the animal shelter working primarily with dogs and have also fostered puppies and dogs!

What you can expect from me is: • Personalized attention and updates (photos & messages every visit) • Reliable, responsible care and clear communication • Experience with medication administration, leash training, and special needs pets • A calm, loving presence that helps animals feel right at home Whether you need a safe place for your pet to be during the workday, in-home care, walks, or just someone to drop by and give your pet some love, I’m here to provide! I look forward to hearing from you!! I work from home most of the time, so I am available to your pet more often than not when they are staying with me for day care! Any pets I watch will be walked twice per day (morning and evening, unless otherwise specified) and fed as stated by the owner. Depending on your pets needs, I can be a sitter who plays with them, is a lap to snuggle, or someone to help reinforce discipline and training!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Phoenix
Kimberly was great and truly awesome!!! She cared for my two Goldens with all her heart and such warm care, playing with them, watching over them as they swim in the pool, totally taking care of them, which made me so happy. Besides taking care of my two puppies, Kimberly also took care of my home, which I truly appreciated her care. I highly recommend her to all, she is truly fantastic and a gem. I cannot say enough, good things about her, and if I had to rate her with stars, she would have infinite amount of them listed. Thank you, Kimberly, I appreciate your care and my puppies. Send you big paw hugs and licks ❤️🐶🐶
Angela was absolutely amazing, and I cannot recommend her enough! ❤️ Finding the right dog sitter can be so hard, especially because I work from home and Nugget is used to having someone around for most of the day. Since Angela also works from home, it felt like the perfect fit from the start! Before watching Nugget, Angela came over for a meet and greet and spent a full hour asking questions, learning his schedule, and getting to know all his little quirks. I really appreciated how much she genuinely wanted to understand his routine and make sure he felt comfortable and cared for. While I was away, Angela was incredibly communicative and sent me tons of updates and pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind! She even took Nugget on little adventures, like the farmers market and the Biltmore, always checking with me beforehand. It was so clear that she went above and beyond to make sure he was happy, loved, and included in her day. Most importantly, Nugget was SO happy with her! 🥹 It is such a relief to find someone you can completely trust with your fur baby, and Angela is exactly that person. I feel so lucky to have found her and would absolutely book with her again!
We are so grateful for Rachel! It’s so nice to be able to be on vacation and know that our pups are receiving the absolute BEST care. Rachel is wonderful and we always come home to happy pups! She also goes above and beyond leaving the house immaculate when she leaves. We love her so much!
Sherry was a wonderful caregiver and house sitter while I was out of town. My 2 cats were well taken care of, and looked more spoiled than usual, lol. Sherry was wonderful about communicating, and sending pictures. Her love of animals shines through and her lovely personality was an additional bonus. I would definitely use Sherry again.
Julie was a lifesaver!!! she went out of her way to help me with my situation of my previously scheduled Pet Sitter not showing up as agreed. Julie communicated well, took care of my two golden’s and took extreme care of my home. Julie is very trustworthy, friendly, good communicator, and overall and outstanding person to watch your pets in your home. I could not recommend any more highly than that you will not go wrong by having her take care of your pets in your home. She is definitely a five star plus
Ashlyn has been an absolutely amazing pet sitter for our family! She's extremely reliable and easy to get in touch with, and the cats and dog are always in a good mood when we get home. We get plenty of photos of the pets while we are away, as well. The house is also always tidy and clean when get back, which is extremely appreciated.
Marisa sat for our 6 yr old Shepard mix Shilo and our 13 yr old Husky Carolina dog mix while staying with them at our home. Since this was the first time we left them alone we chose Marisa because of her amazing reviews and she did not disappoint we were grateful for daily photos, videos and updates. She left our home just as we left it and the dogs got 3 daily walks and the snacks and play time they love! We are happy to have found a reliable dog sitter for our pups.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Phoenix is $50 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $89 per night. 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 November 2026, there are 4,938 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Phoenix. 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 Phoenix 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 Phoenix 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 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!
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 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Phoenix. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
