“You can see it the moment Renato enters a room – animals adore him. My normally-shy cat bolted out of the bedroom to greet him with a loud meow, which immediately told me everything I needed to know. But what really impressed me was Renato's professionalism: he asked thorough questions ahead of his visit, texted when he arrived, sent a photo of my dog (who looked delighted to be with Renato), and confirmed when he left. It's wonderful to find someone who combines genuine care for animals with such reliable communication! If you're looking for a sitter who your pets will be overjoyed to see, Renato's the guy.”

“This was my first time using Rover and I wasn't exactly sure if I was going to like it. We've always used friends or doggie day care type things. But after this I will never use anything except for Rover, and more so, Aayla! She was incredible! Very detailed, courteous, kind, and most importantly she was perfectly professional!!! Fantastic communicator and very loving with my two large dogs! When we got home our house was clean and the dogs were happy! I will be recommending Aayla to all of my friends and family who travel and have pet sitters. What a great experience and thank you, Aayla for your care and professionalism!”

About: I have 5+ years of pet care experience caring for dogs with different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I genuinely love being around animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m very patient, attentive, and dependable, and I always try to pay attention to each dog’s individual needs and behavior. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just having someone calm and comforting around, I’ll make sure they get lots of care, attention, and love while you’re away. I have full availability Friday–Sunday, and I’m also available during the weekdays between my summer classes, especially mornings and early afternoons from 6am–1pm Monday–Thursday. I’m pretty flexible as well and will always do my best to work with schedules that are convenient for both of us. I always prioritize a dog’s safety, comfort, and trust during walks. I pay close attention to their behavior, energy level, and surroundings to help keep them safe and comfortable at all times. I’ll follow any instructions you provide, including leash preferences, walking routes, feeding or water needs, and any special care your dog may need. I also make sure dogs get plenty of attention, patience, and positive interaction during our time together.

About: I have two cats of my own, including a special-needs kitty, so I understand that some pets need a little extra patience, attention, and care to feel comfortable and safe. I’ve cared for special-needs cats and dogs, as well as puppies and elderly dogs, and I’m comfortable adapting to different routines, energy levels, personalities, and care needs. Whether your pet needs medication, extra supervision, lots of playtime, a slower pace, or simply someone to keep them company, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I’m attentive to the little things, changes in appetite, behavior, energy, bathroom habits, or anything else that might signal your pet isn’t feeling like themselves. I also know how important it is for pets to maintain their normal routines while their people are away. Most importantly, I want your pets to feel loved, comfortable, and secure while they’re in my care and I want you to have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. 🐾💕 I work full-time remotely Monday through Friday, which means I have the flexibility to stay at your home and care for your pets throughout the day—as long as there’s Wi-Fi! 🎉 I love that pet sitting fits naturally into my workday because I can be there for companionship, potty breaks, meals, walks, and all those little moments that help pets feel comfortable while their humans are away. While I’m pet sitting, my own kitties stay with my boyfriend, so I’m able to give your pets my full attention. I do still like to visit my boyfriend and my cats at least once a day because, well… I love them😂 🥰 I value a healthy work-life balance, so I typically reserve weekends for longer or extended stays, especially when a booking continues into the workweek. That said, I’m flexible! With enough advance notice, I’m happy to pencil in a stay that works with my schedule. My remote work schedule allows me to offer something I think pets really appreciate: someone who can actually be there. 🐾💕 I believe trust with a pet is earned, not expected. Every animal has their own personality, comfort level, and way of communicating, so I take the time to get to know them rather than assuming every pet wants the same kind of attention. I pay close attention to body language and behavior so I can recognize when a pet is comfortable, excited, nervous, or needs a little space. My experience caring for special-needs pets has also taught me how important patience, consistency, and paying attention to the little details can be. Most importantly, I want your pet to learn that when I show up, good things happen. 🐾💕 My goal is for them to feel safe enough to relax, be themselves, and eventually wonder when their favorite human is coming back!

About: I have owned 4 dogs in the last 10 years ranging from a Neo mastiff to chihuahua at the same time. I have owned a variety of animals also so if you were to have any other kinds of pets I would be capable of caring for them also. One house sitting involved 7 dogs 2 cats 2 horses and a handful of chickens and 2 pigs. All of which were well cared for. I always get the comment of 'my dog doesn't like men but he loves you' all the time. I am not sure what it is but I get along well with all animals even the hot tempered ones. I love all animals and I am sure they will have a lot of attention and be well cared for while I am watching them. I am a rideshare driver usually up early for the morning rush. I have a flexible schedule just let me know what your needs are. I’m flexible and accommodating when caring for pets in my client’s home, making sure to follow their routine closely. I’m happy to give medications, go on walks, and provide whatever care the dog needs to feel comfortable and safe.

About: I have cared for my own dogs for many years and also have professional dog-walking experience. Last year, I completed a three-month house- and cat-sitting assignment in Carmel, caring for four cats in one home. I am attentive to each animal’s routines, temperament and changing needs. My calm, patient approach is especially helpful for senior, sensitive or initially cautious pets. I provide dependable care, thoughtful communication and photo updates. Pet care is already part of my daily routine as a devoted dog parent. I plan my days around regular walks, feeding, attentive companionship, and time outdoors. My flexible schedule allows me to provide dependable walks and drop-in visits throughout the week. In each client’s home, I carefully follow their established routines and instructions. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, secure doors and leashes, fresh water, attentive supervision, and calm, respectful care. I also provide dependable updates so pet parents know their pets are safe and comfortable.

About: Animals have been at the center of my life for over 25 years. Growing up in a lively, multi-pet home with up to a dozen animals at a time, I developed an early, intuitive understanding of pack dynamics, varied temperaments, and individual routines. Over the years, I’ve cared for everything from high-energy miniature pinchers and sensitive rescue cats to large breeds like Danes Boxers and Shepherds, alongside maintaining freshwater aquariums and caring for birds. Because most of our family pets have been rescues, I am exceptionally patient with shy, anxious, or reactive animals and know how to build trust on their terms. Whether your pet needs a calm presence, structured daily routines, or close attention to specialized diets and habitat care, I treat every animal in my care with the safety, attentiveness, and love they deserve. I specialize in mid-day drop-ins and dog walking between 11:00 AM and 3:00 PM on weekdays. This focused timeframe allows me to provide reliable, on-time mid-day relief, companionship, and exercise for pets while their owners are away at work. To me, pets aren’t just animals—they are family members and beloved babies. I treat client homes and their pets with absolute respect, reliability, and care. During every visit, I keep safety at the forefront: ensuring secure entry and exit points so no pet slips out, keeping walks controlled and attentive, and watching body language closely to ensure your pet is happy and comfortable. I treat your living space with the highest level of care, respect all home security and camera guidelines, and ensure your doors and gates are double-checked and locked tight before I leave.

She went above and beyond to keep our litter box clean (no small feat!) and bringing in packages on top of making sure our dudes were happy. Enjoyed chatting with Janine! She has a deep love for all creatures and is just a fun human. Highly recommend!!”

Madison was absolutely wonderful with Wyatt! She came by twice a day to take him on walks, play with him, and keep him company while I was away. It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was getting plenty of attention and care. Madison was reliable, thoughtful, and clearly loves animals. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their furry family member. I’ll definitely be booking her again!

I’m so happy I found Gigi on Rover! I was nervous about leaving our 7 year old pup with IVDD for 4 days, but Gigi eased my anxiety by sending pictures and updates every day. She is caring and compassionate and when she noticed our pup was acting a little off one day, she suspected the bad weather was scaring her. She was kind enough to come over earlier than expected to drop in and check on her. She kept me updated and it turned out her suspicion was right. I really appreciated her frequent communication, and will definitely have Gigi come back to take care of our pup again!

Natalie is my dream pet sitter. I had a good feeling after our initial visit that she’d give my kitty attention and care beyond just feeding her and providing other basic services (I.e., cleaning the litter box) while I was away. Since it was a longer trip, it was importantbto me that it would be someone who really cared and someone trustworthy as I’ve had some not so great experiences with pet sitters. Natalie exceeded my hopes— she was absolutely wonderful, sending me daily updates, asking questions about concerns (my kitty had some eye ‘buggers’ that developed, she was reliable and consistent and this helped my cat trust her. When I came back, I came home to the kitchen counter that had been tidied up and the bathroom hand towel carefully folded — little touches that mean so much. Thank you for everything Natalie, for going above and beyond, and for allowing me to relax while I was away, knowing my cat was in good hands! 😻

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Phoenix

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Phoenix is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $33 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 November 2026, there are 7,438 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Phoenix. 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 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Phoenix. 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 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.
