“Link had another great stay with Louis! Louis kept us updated each day so my partner and I could focus on what was at hand on our respective trips. Louis was even able to navigate a potentially negative situation with an off leash dog in our neighborhood and advocated for our pup, which was so relieving. We will 100% book Louis again and appreciate what a great job is always done when watching our pup ❤️ Thank you Louis! 😊”
“Our 2 dogs and cat were happy and well taken care of. The house was exactly as we left it. Great communication before, during, and after the 3 night stay. We will definitely be using Remus again.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 13. Family friends have always relied on me for help. They trust me more than anything else. Hi! I’m a dependable, caring, and patient animal lover who treats every pet like they’re part of my own family. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and routine, and I’m committed to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping your pet company, I’ll provide plenty of attention and care. I’m reliable, communicate well, and I’m happy to send photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members and giving them the love and care they deserve! I have 2 family golden-doodles who have taught me huge amounts about dogs! My family adopted them when they were puppies and have been adored since.
“Atlas was great with our animals! Our Dog and Cat were both very well cared for. Atlas was a great communicator and sent us updates every day while we were gone, will definitely be utilizing her services again next time we are gone 😊”
About: I’m very attentive to the animals in my care, especially my fish, whose individual needs I’ve spent countless hours learning. I’ve also cared for dogs, cats, birds, and turtles. I love giving animals a happy, healthy life, and although my current housing limits the pets I can have, I look forward to spending more time with animals and providing them with loving care. I am currently in school(online), and so I have had a lot of free time on my hands. That is why my availability is wide open even on weekends. It would be my great pleasure to spend that time with beloved animals. I make sure to keep them well fed and well played with. Each of my pets have had different needs as well as different personalities, so i have learned to understand them individualy and really get to know them. I have also had practice with gaining the trust of rescued animals and practiced how to be gentle and calm, as well as helping them come out of there shell.
“Susan took wonderful care of our 2 kitties and our home. She is very caring and kept us informed of how our kitties were doing during our vacation. We will ask her in the future to pet and house set and I would highly recommend her.”
“Athena, watched our dog Coco and house sat for us while we went on a 12 day cruise over Christmas and New Year. She is great!! She sent pictures and videos of our dog which was of great comfort during our trip. This is the second time we used Athena and plan to use her when we travel on an upcoming 19 day cruise.”
“Our boys loved having Kristina stay with them! She is very attentive and made sure they were comfortable. She cares for your pets as if they are her own. Kristina was very communicative and sent regular updates and pictures. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing the boys were in great hands. In fact, we’ve already booked another stay with Kristina! 🐕🦺🐶”
“Sandra, Thanks for the great care you showed Poppy on her first ever 24 hours without me. She enjoyed her playtime with you and I was so pleased with your awesome communication during my time away. Thank you for making it less stressful for me and so easy for her. Your years of pet caring are fantastic. Jennifer”
“Elise was great. My dog is sweet, but has a rigorous schedule that she was more than willing to accommodate. She left my house perfect and look forward to booking with her again.”
“Karen took wonderful care of our pets and home. She is a great communicator and sent many photos of our pets having a great time while we were away. I would not hesitate to book again!”
“Taylor is fantastic!! Friendly, professional, great communication and flexible with my on going schedule changes. She did an in-home drop in to take them out for their business, play with them and give them cuddles. Our pugs love her ❤️ Knowing she was there gave me such peace of mind. We will be using her in the future for all our pug sitting needs.”
About: People have asked me to care for their pets since I was just young. Mostly because I care and connect so easily with animals. But also because I live such a free lifestyle and available to do so. My goal is to be flexible and accommodate your pets every day schedule to alleviate anxiety and stress while you are gone, for them and for you! I should start taking more selfie's with the animals I care for ;-). My photo gallery shows some of the pets I have babysat over the years. I am happy to take on pets with special needs (i.e. medications, disabilities, meal accommodations, etc.). This winter I am able to be flexible and cater to the needs of what your pets schedule looks like. In my experience, it is much better to accommodate the schedule they currently have instead of trying to fit mine. My residence is currently not pet friendly, but I am happy to care for them at yours! In my experience, pets tend to do better in the environment they are familiar with. It keeps them at ease and relaxed while you are away.
“Laura was wonderful! After meeting her we were very comfortable with leaving our two Shelties with her and having her stay in our home. It was a great relief to find Laura! She was very affectionate with our dogs and showed great attention to understanding the details of caring for them. She bonded with them immediately, and we are sure they missed her after we returned home. Laura stayed in touch while we were away and sent us some really great pictures. We recommend Laura without hesitation!”
About: ABOUT ME 🦴 I’ve been on Rover for almost 3 years and I’ve loved all the animals I’ve met along the way. My main teacher has been my high-energy, high-drive Australian Sheperd/Heeler Squid! I’ve worked with him on reactivity, impulse control, leash training - you name it! We’ve made excellent progress and strides, and I’d love to share what he’s taught me with others. I only work with folks that center positive reinforcement (no prong or e-collars). I’d love to help with any leash training etc. that you’re working on, but I know the most important thing is to create an environment where your dog feels safe and well exercised while you’re away. 😊 I take my dog “Squid” out 3 times a day, often to trail run or play fetch. He’s a part of my life and travels with me everywhere that he’s allowed/safe. I am offering walking/running and drop in visits. No matter where I am, I follow the instructions of the pets owner. I’m interested in helping out people who’s dogs need some energy out like mine did!
“She is kind and sent pictures. She took her for walks and played in the back yard with her balls. Coco really likes her. Kelli gave us comfort in leaving Coco with her. We would have her back again.”
About: Hello, I'm Amanda I have 17 years of experience with different breeds of dogs and 11 years of experience with cats. I enjoy going on long walks and letting all of the fun loving energy out of furry friends! I currently set my own schedule I like to pet sit in between my travels and art projects. I like to enjoy meeting new pets and nature. I have a unfenced large yard that is also equipped with a river rock enclosed area and I live in a beautiful quiet neighborhood for long peaceful walks.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Phoenix is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Phoenix
Louis was absolutely wonderful! He took great care of my dog. He kept me updated with photos and messages ans made me feel completely at ease while I was gone. It was clear my pup was happy,comfortable and well loved. I came home to a happy pup. I would gladly book with him again and highly recommend him.
Sophia is an exceptional pet sitter. She stayed at my house and took great care of my dog who felt comfortable with her right away. She took him on walks, played with him in the backyard, and gave him plenty of snuggles and attention. She sent me photo and video updates of my sweet boy. When I came home, everything was taken care of and my dog and my house looked great. I highly recommend Sophia for any pet sitting needs.
Kristen is terrific! I was visiting from out of town and needed a sitter to spend an entire evening with my four Frenchies while I attended a Britt Festival concert. Her responsiveness and communication was exceptional. She is very thorough and ensures she has all the information necessary to provide outstanding care. My dogs loved her immediately and they had a great evening together. I highly recommend Kristen and will definitely request her help again on my next visit.
We were so happy with Atlas (Alyssa) and the care she provided for our dog, Marvin Gayy. As a French Bulldog with a few extra needs, Marvin requires a little more attention, and Atlas was confident, attentive, and never hesitated to ask questions when needed. She kept us updated with photos, and Marvin seemed to really enjoy getting to know her. We felt at ease knowing he was in such good hands. We'd happily book with Atlas again!
Sarah was incredible with our squishy-faced girl! She even saved our bacon with some extra check-ins when our flight unexpectedly changed/severely delayed. Sarah helped with our HelloFresh delivery and went above and beyond to tidy up. Very impressed, and beyond grateful for her help & care!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Phoenix is $46 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $80 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 241 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:
- 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
