“Kirsten was great with our senior dog Andy. He has a few medical issues and Kirsten was caring and empathetic with him. He was happy and content with her and after we came home. I highly recommend Kirsten and will book with her again. She is booked to watch our pups in August.”
About: I have experience in wildlife rehabilitation, zookeeping, managing horses. I’m comfortable doing most basic animal care for a variety of animals and happy to learn about anything I haven’t had experience with. Dogs, cats, reptiles, hoofstock, poultry and so on! My schedule is fairly flexible with some notice. Available early mornings, late nights and in between. I am happy to adjust my schedule based on each animal’s routine and needs. I am attentive and observant of each animal’s needs and routines. Happy to follow specific schedules and tasks to adhere to their normal care standards. While I do have a yard, it is unfenced so dogs go out on a leash unless they have exceptional recall. Often joking or walks around the neighborhood. All animal’s are crated or otherwise contained when left alone for short periods and always separated at feeding times.
“What I appreciate about Taryn is that she is reliable, communicative, and LOVES my dogs. She provides wonderful care for my special needs dog, and she kept us informed of their activities throughout the day. Not one time was I worried at all, we trust her, and we WILL be booking again!”
“Maria & my dog, Tank, got very close very quickly. We were pleasantly surprised with her efforts and continuous communication, and we’d definitely recommend her to a friend.”
“She did amazing with the our zoo. Dogs, cats, and birds. helped with medication and even cleaned up mess here and there. All the animals were in good spirits at us arriving home. She took awesome pictures of all the animals that made us worry less about all the pets while we were gone.”
“Andrew was absolutely fantastic! He took care of my Loki for 15 days and I couldn't have asked for better service. He was incredibly reliable and flexible, which made my trip so much less stressful. Amazing service – 5 stars!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. I believe consistency and routine are the best thing for animals. I’ve attended many training sessions for my pets. I am a Kindergarten teacher so will have the whole summer off to play and be with pets! During the school year I can do after school visits and walks. I have two friendly dogs who love to play. We love going on walks around the neighborhood as well as visiting our uncles fenced in yard for some running!
About: I am a big animal lover, former dog/ guinea pig owner, former Rosamond Gifford Zoo volunteer, and experienced dog sitter. I'm patient and love to care for any animal! I take caregiver instructions seriously and carry them out to the best of my abilities. I'm easy to contact and will give daily reports if desired. I'm currently looking for a full time job so I have a lot of free time to use for any pet sitting jobs! I am available to do day/night visits but I am not available for overnights. I will follow any caregiver instruction given and house rules if there are any to note. Being respectful of another person's space and pets is very important to me.
“Jennifer took great care of our senior cats. They have special needs and can be shy when meeting new people. Our cats warmed up to her right away. She gave us regular updates and pictures and let us know our cats were in great hands.”
About: My family adopted our first puppy when I was 5 years old and I assisted with the training and care of all 3 of our dogs since then. My childhood pal lived to be 16 and I helped take care of him throughout all stages of life. I work a 9 - 5 in person but have plenty availability before and after work for early morning or early evening walks. Weekends and weeknights are no problem for my schedule. Please lay out any specific care instructions for long-term visits so I can ensure that your pet is getting the same care and regimen from me as they would you.
About: Hi, I'm Brooke! I’m 19 years old and have been around animals my entire life. Growing up, I was never without a pet, and caring for animals has always come naturally to me. My first cat, Hunter Patches, was a huge part of my life before he passed last year. Since then, I’ve welcomed two new cats, Loki and Marie, into my family. I also have a 10 year old rescue dog named Gunner and recently rescued a bearded dragon named Dino. I’m comfortable caring for cats, dogs, and reptiles, and I understand that every animal has their own personality and needs. Friends and family have trusted me to feed, play with, check on, and care for their pets while they’re away. I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and genuinely love spending time with animals of all kinds. Pet care fits naturally into my daily schedule because caring for animals has always been a part of my daily life. I have a flexible routine and enjoy spending time feeding, playing with, walking, and giving attention to pets throughout the week. I will care for your pets like they’re my own by keeping them fed, comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’ll follow their routines closely, give them plenty of attention and playtime, and make sure they feel calm and cared for in their home environment.
About: Hello!

I would love to help with your dogs and treat them as if they were my own-many belly rubs, walks, and love! I am a school mental health therapist so I am home by 4:00 and can come for evening (or morning) visits! Available weekends and holidays as well as school breaks! When notified ahead of time, I would be happy to make my schedule work to help you and your pups! I will take care of your pets exactly the way you ask me to. I am experienced in giving medications, helping older dogs, caring for puppies, and training. I will treat your pups as if they were my own!
About: Hello everyone! My name is Lory and I am a stay at home mom and I also have 3 fur babies myself. Two peekapoo’s and one cat. I’ve been taking care of dogs for over 30 years and have experience with intervertebral disc disease, expressing bladder’s, administering medications orally, physical therapy and CPR. I also have experience with paralyzed dogs. I will take care of your fur baby as if it was my own! I will have plenty of time to play with your pups!

About: I absolutely love taking care of pets! Regardless of age or energy level, they will be in great hands with me. I have taken care of my cat Garbanzo since she was 6 months old and she is now almost 4! We are absolute best friends and seeing her everyday is such a joy. I also grew up with dogs of varying from small a shih tzuI to a great dane then to pitbull mixes. I have taken care of friends and families pets while they were away and it’s always something I've looked forward to. I love sending pet pictures to their owners to show they are well loved while away, and am communicative if I have any questions or concerns! I want to provide the care for your pet that I would want for mine. I currently have an open schedule while in between jobs. This means daily check-ins even a couple time per day will work for me. My calendar will be updated as that changes. I will follow instructions provided to me by the owner to ensure proper care as all pets require something different. If I have any questions I will be sure to reach out to the owner. I want the owner to feel comfortable knowing I will follow what they want for their pet.
About: I have been around animals my whole life. My range of experience goes from new born puppies and up. I have been dog sitting for my neighbor and some family friends for about 2 years now. I work 2 overnights a week at my job Sunday night and Tuesday night but would still be able to help out at night before going in and in the morning after I get out. I can make any accommodations for any of your animals needs whether that’s needing to only go out on a leash or following specific training plans.
About: I've been a dog owner and lover my whole life, and I've cared for dogs of all ages — from wiggly puppies to sweet senior babies who just need a little extra patience and TLC. I have hands-on experience with small breeds and understand that little dogs often have big personalities and specific needs. My home is calm, safe, and welcoming — no chaos, no stress. I've also cared for dogs with special needs, so I'm comfortable with medications, mobility issues, or anything that requires a little more attentiveness. When your dog is with me, they're not just being "watched" — they're being cared for like they belong here I work from home in a calm environment. I have two cats that are very well behaved and one dog who is a little crazy. She is deaf with some separation anxiety and OCD, but she is such a little sweetheart. I spend all day waiting on these guys hand and foot, what’s one or two more? 😊 My sweet, friendly dog will keep yours company all day long. I live on a cul-de-sac and we take several walks throughout the day.
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all types/ages. My family, friends, and neighbors have all relied on me for years. Puppies and senior dogs are always a treat to care for as well! Currently I have availability in the afternoon and evenings M-F and some weekends! Most Sundays are free, some Saturdays I care for a family member. Drop in visits are a great opportunity for me to give your pet a break in their alone time! I’m happy to feed/water or give any medications necessary. Walks are a great chance to get some of their energy out too, whichever service you prefer for your pet!
“Hi there! This was my very first time using Rover and I was certainly very nervous to entrust my little guy with a new sitter since our recent move! However, Alex was fabulous ! He is everything you could want and more from a sitter and from a caregiver to your furry friends/family. Alex is extremely responsive, he arranged for at least 2 visits to meet my cat Oliver and to review schedule, questions, concerns, diet etc. Before actually starting the pet sitting. He got to know Oliver and his demeanor, and my cat took to Alex right away. Alex is gentle, playful and affectionate and you can see that he genuinely cares. I always worry when returning back from a trip about how Oliver may be and how my home may look, and Alex took such great care of my cat and my home looks just as I left it. I now feel comfortable going on more trips to see loved ones and I couldn't have done this without Alex.”
The median cost per visit for dog sitting in Phoenix is $20
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Phoenix
Jessica was great with my dogs. They have some behavioral problems and she did a great job following my management routine. I travel for work, and she helped me to relax while I was away from them. Prior to the visit, Jessica requested to set up a meet and greet. This assured me that I could trust her and that she cared about giving them the best care possible. I was moving that day, and was unfortunately late to our meeting. Jessica was very understanding, waited for me, and did not make me feel like an inconvenience, which was very much appreciated, as I was already overwhelmed. I highly recommend Jessica for your dog care needs.
As a fur momma of 2 (was 3) fur babies, I can’t boast enough about Maggie. Not to mention having dogs with health issues. I have one epileptic dog and (did) have one diabetic dog and Maggie was one of two people I’d ever trust taking care of my dogs. She’s reliable, and present the whole time, sending updates and pictures. Shes allowed for me to feel at ease when I’m away. Most importantly, during situations where an incident, like a seizure, occurred Maggie was prepared, knowledgeable, and eager to help in the best way possible. I also want to mention on multiple occasions while we were away we have had home issue, like our basement flooding. This is obviously not ideal for her, yet she handled it with professionalism and ease. As someone who is always worried about her dog babies/health concerns, I truly couldn’t be more thankful to have found Maggie. Highly recommend!!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
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 .
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.
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.

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.
