About: What sets me apart is the level of care, attention, and reliability I bring to every pet and home I care for. I’ve grown up around animals my whole life, including having two dogs of my own in my family's home and caring for cats throughout the years, so being around animals has always been a big part of my life. I also have experience pet and house sitting for neighbors and family friends, caring for dogs, cats, and small mammals with different personalities, routines, and needs. I’m comfortable following feeding schedules, walks, playtime routines, medications, and providing extra patience for shy, anxious, or senior pets. I understand that leaving your pets with someone else can be stressful, so I always try to make both the pets and their owners feel comfortable and reassured. I make it a priority to send updates and photos and to treat every pet with the same love, attention, and care I would want for my own pets. In addition to caring for pets, I’m very responsible when it comes to house-sitting and keeping homes clean, secure, and well cared for while owners are away. I’m currently a college student home for the summer, which gives me a flexible schedule to provide reliable and attentive pet care throughout the week. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I know pets are most comfortable in familiar environments, so I make sure they receive consistent care, attention, exercise, and affection while their owners are away. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications, litter box cleaning, playtime, and any specific routines or preferences each pet may have. I also pay close attention to pets’ behavior and comfort levels to ensure they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for. Safety and trust are very important to me, so I always keep homes clean, secure, and respected while providing care. I’m also very communicative and provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel reassured knowing their pets are happy and in good hands. Since I’m currently a college student home for the summer, I also have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of time, attention, and supervision throughout the day.
“Alicia was able to take care of our dogs with short notice and we were appreciative of that. She was communicative, and very friendly with the pups even not having been able to meet them prior to caring for them.”
About: I have a family dog, who I love! And also I have my own furry Labradoodle! I can walk your dog, feed them, and spend time playing with them and give them all the attention they deserve!! I am responsible and caring. I will care for your dog as if it is my own! I am currently home during the week and available. I am able to provide any needs that your dog may need. We are able to spend time outside playing and go on walks. I always make sure the dogs are always safe in my home. Any dangerous items are properly stored and secured away from the animals. When it’s time to play out side or go on a walk, I always make sure their leases are secured.
“Nicole took great care of my kitties while I was away out of the country. She was super responsive and consistent and I was comfortable that they were in good hands. She appreciated their individual personalities and sent great daily updates and pictures. I would not hesitate to ask Nicole to watch my animals or home next trip.”
“Tracie, thank you so much! We came home to a neat and clean home and you took such good care of Jinx. Thank you for going above and beyond! I hope we can rely on your again in the future!”
About: Working at a Veterinary Hospital before going to college absolutely solidified my love for animals and caring for them! I love learning their unique traits and I can’t wait to bond with your pets! I’m currently a full time student at JMU but I’m looking to add pet sitting into my routine! With warm weather coming up, I know how important it is to find a reliable sitter for vacations! I can’t wait to meet your pets! Caring for your pets in the safety of your home is important to me! Allowing them to show me around and playing with their favorite toys is so exciting!
About: I have taken care of pets since I was young, mostly dogs. I have a multitude of experience with dogs, cats, birds, and rabbits. I also have a lot of experience with nervous dogs. I work part time (about 20hrs/week) so I have plenty of time to hang out with your pets! I walk every morning and am happy to bring dogs along with me. I am available most days, for walking, some outside playtime, or more! I have 3 friendly dogs at home, and loads of experience with others’ pets. I am free for walks, drop-ins during the day, or staying at your home with your pets. While staying with them, I will do any household chores needed.
About: (Pet photography services are included with each booking and available separately- just book a drop in or walk!) My name is Sadie, I grew up in Baltimore County and am studying Animal Behaviour at the University of Aberdeen. I am 21 years old and started pet sitting at 12 years old, I have experience with a variety of animals from dogs and cats to farm animals (horses, pigs, sheep, cow, chickens, etc.) and all kinds of exotics. I am very experienced in feeding, walking, crating, training, giving medicine (including shots), bathing, etc. I've lived and worked with rescue dogs and pets that are anxious, avoidant, and even aggressive so I am prepared for any type of personality. I love meeting and bonding with new pets as each one has their own unique quirks, needs and personalities. My main focus is pet sitting, it takes priority and allows me to have plenty of time to care for pets! My weekdays and weekends are available for full-time care, drop-ins and overnights. I have many years of experience with pet and house sitting staying in my clients' houses while they are away. I am able to adapt to the schedule and environment of the client and pet. I can crate them, take them outside on a leash, keep them off furniture or out of rooms they're not supposed to be in, etc.
About: I love taking care of dogs of all shapes and sizes. My Rottweiler recently passed away and I am looking to continue caring for animals outside of my own. A number of people have trusted me with walking their dogs, housing their dogs and kitties, and even bathing them. I’m happy to help you next! I am a work from home student, so I will have all of the time in the world to give your pet-child all of the attention in the world! Although my yard is not fenced, I live in a safe neighborhood and will never take my eyes off of your pet. I will always keep their leash with me, seat belt secured, and doors locked.
About: Hi! I’m a dependable and caring dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets. I’ve helped care for my family dog for the past 7 years, so I understand the daily responsibility, attention, and love that dogs need to feel happy and comfortable. In addition to caring for my own dog, I’ve also house-sat and watched dogs for others, including taking them on regular walks, sticking to feeding schedules and breakfast/dinner routines, giving them plenty of attention and playtime, and helping administer medications when needed. I know how important consistency and trust are when someone is caring for your pet, and I always do my best to make dogs feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while their owners are away. I genuinely love dogs and enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality and routine. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or more calm and cuddly, I’ll make sure they receive attentive, reliable care and lots of affection. I work a full-time 9–5 job during the week, but I’m available for dog walks, drop-in visits, and pet care in the evenings after work after 5:30. I’m also available for overnight stays during the week if needed, though I would be away during typical work hours (approximately 7:30 AM–5:30 PM). On weekends, I have much more flexibility and am available for walks, drop-ins, sitting, overnights, and extended care as needed. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and make sure they receive dependable, attentive care while you’re away. I’ve been caring for dogs for years through both personal experience and dog sitting for others, and I genuinely love spending time with animals. I do my best to create a safe, loving, and comfortable environment where pets feel relaxed and cared for while their owners are away. Whether a dog is playful and energetic or prefers calm cuddles and quiet time, I’m happy to match their personality and routine. I also understand how important consistency is for pets, so I take owners’ instructions seriously and always respect boundaries, routines, feeding schedules, walk preferences, medication needs, and any house rules. My goal is to make your pet feel as comfortable as possible and provide care that feels like a natural extension of their home environment.
About: I have had many dogs in my life time and I enjoy walking, talking to, caring for and spending time with dogs when I can. I miss my pets but I am not ready to get one of my own. However, I would love to help you care for your pet when you are gone. I am a teacher during the school year. I usually can help you out on the weekend or nights during the school year. During the summer I can help more often in a variety of days and times. My fur babies have all past. When I have helped friends and family take care of their pets I make sure to get to know their fur baby before they need me to care for them. I learn their pet's routines and I try to spend some time with them so they know my sent. This makes it more comfortable for the owner and pet when I am with them.
“This was Connor's first visit with our girls Kiwi and Rio. He was on time, followed protocols and communicated promptly. Very happy about all 3 of those things! We have scheduled another visit soon.”

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.

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.

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.
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.
