“Kaitlin is not only a natural animal lover, but also a very kind and responsible person. She stayed at our home and cared for our dogs during a snow storm that brought almost a foot of snow with it. She is an excellent communicator. I felt very comfortable traveling out of town knowing that she was taking great care of our dogs and home in our absence. 100% recommend her! 😊”
“Zana was wonderful. She communicated with me throughout with ease. She sent photos and was an excellent sitter with my pup and kitties. Highly recommend.”
“We couldn't be happier with Breana's care for our home and cat while we were away. She was a fantastic communicator from the start and we never had to wonder how things were going because Breana sent regular photos and updates that gave us total peace of mind. We returned to a spotless house — everything exactly as we left it. It was clear that Breana treated our home with real care and respect. Most importantly, our cat was happy, relaxed, and clearly well looked after. We'd trust Breana again without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, communicative, and genuinely caring house and pet sitter!”
“Karenna was great! All the animals seemed to have a great time with her and were well taken care of. Karenna is very communicative and prompt and made us feel at ease while being away from home! Thank you so muc”
“I needed a pet sitter that was able to walk my 13 year old Husky mix. Samantha did a great job and was good at communicating with me during my trip. She was able to comfort my dog during a thunderstorm. Samantha even did the laundry when my dog had an accident. Thanks so much Samantha.”
About: Animals have always been an important part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy helping them feel safe, cared for, and loved while their people are away. I’ve cared for animals throughout my life, from family pets growing up to paid pet and house sitting for friends and private clients. I’m a longtime yoga teacher, so creating a calm, grounded environment comes naturally to me. Friends, clients, and neighbors have trusted me to care for their dogs, cats, and homes, and I understand how important consistency, communication, and reliability are. Whether your pet loves long walks, quiet companionship, or playful interaction, I’ll care for them with the same attention and respect I’d want for my own family. I’m a part-time yoga teacher with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide attentive care for your pets. I carefully plan my schedule around the animals in my care and will always discuss my teaching times with you in advance. My priority is making sure your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I understand that inviting someone into your home or entrusting them with your beloved pet requires a great deal of trust. I treat every home with respect and every animal with patience, kindness, and attentive care. I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible, communicate regularly with updates and photos, and will always reach out if I have any questions or concerns. My goal is for you to return home to a happy pet and a well-cared-for home. If boarding is needed, I provide a quiet, calm, smoke free home and accept only one family’s pets at a time so I can give them my full attention. I carefully follow each pet’s established routine and will communicate regularly with updates and photos. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.
“Amanda was amazing, super friendly, responsive. I felt like my baby was left in great hands. She treated my dog like she was her own and I couldn’t appreciate that enough. Definitely will be booking with her again.”

I’m more than happy to help with all your pet's needs, whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, or simply keeping them company while you're away.

For overnight booking in my clients homes I believe communication is key, I understand every pet is unique, and so are their owners! I’m happy to customize my communication based on your preferences, whether you prefer daily updates with photos, a quick text to check in. I respect all clients’ homes, I’m mindful of the client's space. I respect their property, use their supplies as intended, and keep the home secure. I also make sure that everything remains just as it was when I arrived. I keep a close eye on your pet’s well-being and take extra care to follow any special instructions or medical needs they might have.

About: I’m currently training to be a therapist so I have a keen sense for emotions… pets included! I’ve dog sat for family numerous times and am hoping to branch out. I love being around animals, am a very easy guest, and will happily send you any pictures of your pets! I have class 1-9pm on Monday and Wednesday but am mostly free otherwise! I get up early to swim twice a week (Fri and Sat), but can go straight back if needed. I don’t do much, so I’m pretty open! I’m willing to do whatever I can to help the pet feel safe and welcomed. Whether they want to play, rest, eat, or walk, I’m happy to help them out!
About: I have been taking care of pets my whole life, as I have grown up playing with, walking, and attending to my own, neighbors, friends and family’s pets! I am a college student home for the summer, so with that being said I have plenty of availability, and am very flexible when it comes to petsitting!. I provide lots of affection and reward based training. I am able to keep your pet safe and provide a comfortable and loving environment for them!
“Alex was fantastic! We had never used Rover before and were in a bind. We have 3, 1.5 year old dogs and a cat so it is a little involved and she handled it so well. She came and met them before we left, and sent photos and updates while we were gone. She stayed at the house, and it was cleaner than when we left! Such a good experience and we wound 100% recommend her!”
“If you’re looking for a great pet/house sitter, Riley is your person. Riley took great care of my pup and fish, checked in daily with me, sent photos and provided daily walks each day. At the end of the stay, Riley summarized Toby’s week, including highlights and household things she did on a sheet of paper. Riley is very reliable and I’ll definitely book her again in the future.”
“Jeff was absolutely wonderful! He took such good care of Hazel and our home while we were away. He is an excellent communicator and just an all around good human. I would recommend Jeff any day of the week and will definitely book him again.”
About: What sets me apart is my experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and energy levels. From laid back seniors to high-energy pups who love to play. I take the time to get to know each dog's unique personality and needs so they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you're away. My goal is to provide reliable, loving care that gives both pets and owners peace of mind. I am very available at the moment. I am currently home from college so I am able to do any type of sitting any day of the week, pretty much all day. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or a client's home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and secure. I make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, fresh water, and meals according to their normal schedule. I also take the time to learn each pet's personality and needs, ensuring they get the level of care, companionship, and activity that is best for them.
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’ve always been an animal lover and grew up in a family full of pets. As the oldest child, I naturally took on the responsibility of caring for our dogs, birds, and fish. I’ve also helped family members with their pets over the years, just for fun, because I truly enjoy it. Recently, I’ve gained hands-on experience with cats thanks to my current roommate, and I’ve learned how to care for them with the same attention and love I give to dogs. My variety of experience makes me confident with pets of all types and personalities. As a college student, my schedule is very flexible. I’m available most days , and I’m open to same-day bookings and last-minute cancellations when needed. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all care instructions, keep water bowls full, monitor for any signs of stress or discomfort, and make sure they’re never left unsupervised in unsafe conditions. I take time to build trust with each pet so they feel at ease. Whether in my home or yours, I create a calm, clean, and welcoming environment where they can feel safe and loved.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Phoenix
Breanna is a wonderful pet sitter! Both of my dogs immediately took to her, and even snuggled with her on the couch. She was timely, sent lots of photos of my pups, and communicated effectively. She even came by for a lengthy meet and greet before house sitting! I'd hire her again in a heartbeat.
Victoria became fast friends with our dog, Oscar! Her care was exceptional, even brushing his teeth and administering medications. She communicated with us daily with photos and updates. She even washed and changed towels and linens, and watered our numerous plants. She’s a winner!
Sabrina stayed with my 3 dogs and cat for a week. She took wonderful care of them and the house. She was very responsive, cleaned up everything she used, and even painted adorable pictures of all the animals for us during her stay. Definitely would hire again as she took great care of our needy crew and recommend to anyone else!
Sadie was wonderful!! 10/10! My dogs loved her. She was so proactive and offered to come for a visit to meet them but respectful and also said she could do just a phone call. The dogs just loved her. She sent updates and the most beautiful pictures of them. She went above and beyond! Will use her again!
Aleia was a terrific sitter for our two older dogs. She was communicative, responsive, proactively helpful, and I never worried about the dogs while we were away as a result. She also fed our hamster, brought in the mail and kept all my plants alive. Yay! My whole family enjoyed seeing the daily pictures she sent of the pups - it was clear that they were happy and comfortable with Aleia. I would definitely hire Aleia again to watch the pups and I do recommend her as an excellent dog sitter.

FAQs for House Sitting - Phoenix
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 3,122 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.

- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections

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.
