“Mirabella did a wonderful job checking in on our cats on short notice. She kept the dishes full, cleaned the boxes, and provided photos of the ones she managed to spot. Will book again!”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life, including German Shepherds, Chihuahuas, and Shih Tzus. I currently have a Chihuahua of my own, so I understand how much our pets mean to us. I’m comfortable with both large and small dogs and love getting to know each dog’s unique personality. I’m patient, gentle, attentive, and will treat your dog like family while they’re in my care. I have a flexible schedule and can work pet care into my daily routine. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. I’m happy to communicate about your pet’s specific routine and needs. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I follow your instructions closely, keep pets safe and supervised, and make sure they have everything they need. I’m dependable, gentle, and attentive to each pet’s individual personality and routine.
About: I was originally pre-vet and also worked kennel technician jobs, so I have years of experience with dog/cat pet care and medicine administration. I am comfortable caring for any age of pets. I am currently working full time Monday-Friday from 7:30-4. I work from home Monday and Friday, so I have more flexibility those days. I am free every Saturday and Sunday. I also get all holidays off, and am usually available those days/holiday weekends. My apartment complex has a dog park area and I have a personal fenced back area. It is mostly concrete but has some flower beds. I have a cat in my home, and he has been tested with other dogs/cats and keeps to himself. He can be closed off in my room if needed. There is also a guest bedroom that has nothing of importance in there, so if there’s a situation where you’d prefer a safe quiet space for a potentially anxious pet, that should be perfect. I can cater my space to your pet and will give them all the love they want.
“Caitlin was extremely kind, prompt and helpful throughout the entire experience! I would highly recommend her to anyone and look forward to hopefully working with her again in the future.”

About: I may be new to Rover, but I’ve been a lifelong dog lover! My boyfriend, Shaun, is also my business partner. We live together, and he is just as great with dogs. Having both of us means your pup gets extra attention, care, and love. I grew up with our family dog, Ruby, a sweet 25 lb terrier who lived to be 16 years old. She truly had the best life, and I was so lucky to have her by my side growing up. In college, my roommates and I adopted a 7 year old, 55 lb Border Collie/Australian Shepherd mix named Peaches. She quickly became our best friend, especially during COVID. After graduation, I took full custody of her. While it was a difficult decision, I eventually had to rehome her when I accepted my dream job, which required frequent travel. The good news is that she’s now living her best life on a flower farm in Alabama with a family friend, spending her days running through fields and playing with her 26 farm cat siblings. Since then, I’ve had the opportunity to travel the world and pursue graduate school. I just graduated with a MPH and am excited to open up my availability for bookings as I save for a celebration trip next year! In addition to Rover, I’ve also been active on Wag with 100+ walks, drop ins, and boardings over the past four years. I truly love dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities, and I can’t wait to meet you and your pup! Let’s connect soon :) I currently work as a part time nanny from 2-6pm Mon-Fri and I’m free most weekends when I’m home. I understand that your pups are in a new place so being with them when they’re in my care is my top priority. Shaun works from home so your pup will always have a companion when staying at our home! My neighborhood has an awesome fenced dog park that is maintained daily. The dog community here is also very friendly and understanding if dogs need their personal time in the park. There is also a nature preserve right across the street from me that is super safe and monitored so your pups will be getting their maximum required exercise when they stay with me!
About: I love dogs and pets in general. I am more than happy to take care of your pets. Thank you for this opportunity. Thanks everyone! Pet care fits into my routine once I am able to wake up in the morning. Make sure why dog goes outside to go potty. I have a nice porch that the dogs could relax on if need to. I am willing to care emotionally for them as well. Awrf!
“Tayla was amazing. Very kind and went above and beyond for the care of my cats. She sent back a ton of pictures and videos with some notes after each check-in. She was super easy to communicate with as well! I felt like I could fully enjoy my trip knowing my girls were being checked on by someone who cares. Will definitely book again!!!”

“Lyric is 10/10 recommend for sitting your puppies. They fell in love with her in a day and I was sad to see the visits in because they will be looking for her. I will book her in the future 10000000%. Thank you Lyric for taking care of my precious pups.”
“🐐🐐 … Addision loved on my son Rio like he was hers! She’s very attentive to any and all needs as well as she’ll send tons of pictures to make sure you know your dog is in great hands overall she’s a 10 out of 10 I recommend!!”

About: I have experience caring for my own dog as well as pets for friends and family. I’m comfortable with walking, feeding routines, crate training, and providing a calm, structured environment for dogs of all sizes. I am a teacher so I am currently on summer break. This means I have a very open schedule to provide pet services. Inbox me to learn more! I have both a front and back yard, but they are not fenced, so all dogs are always safely supervised and kept on a leash while outside. Inside, I provide a clean, calm, and comfortable environment where dogs can relax, play, and feel at home. Max is my friendly, well-socialized rescue dog who loves meeting and playing with other dogs. He’s gentle, adaptable, and does well with different personalities and energy levels.
“Another fun visit with Maria! Bentley and Maria have clearly bonded. He was happy to see her and enjoyed cuddles and belly rubs. Maria even thought to put dog shows on the tv to keep him company until I got home. Thank you Maria - we will see you again soon!”

“Emily did a great job. We have one cat the does not like most people and will hide when someone new comes over. Emily said she came out during one of her visits. I was amazed and surprised to hear that. That tells me a lot about Emily, if Una will come out of hiding while she was there. I will definitely use Emily's again. Thank-you Emily!!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my comprehensive experience and genuine passion for dog care. I have experience in Puppy Training: From basic commands to potty training, I can help set your puppy up for success. Senior Dog Care: With patience and attention, I provide tailored care for older dogs, including administering medication and gentle handling. Behavioral Understanding: I have a deep understanding of canine behavior, ensuring I can handle shy, energetic, or special-needs dogs with ease. Active Lifestyle: I keep dogs happy and healthy with stimulating walks, playtime, and mental enrichment activities. My goal is to treat every dog like family, providing the love, attention, and care they deserve. Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine. I structure my schedule to ensure each pet gets personalized attention, whether it’s for feeding, walking, playtime, or administering special care. I prioritize creating a calm, consistent environment that mimics their routine at home. Throughout the week, I dedicate time to activities like: Morning and Evening Walks: Perfect for exercise and bonding. Play Sessions: Focused on mental and physical stimulation. Health Check-Ins: Monitoring their behavior, eating habits, and overall well-being. Special Care: Tending to unique needs, such as grooming, training, or administering medication. Caring for pets isn’t just a responsibility—it’s a joyful part of my routine that keeps me active, grounded, and connected to animals. I tailor my care to the specific environment, whether it’s in my home or the client’s. Here’s how I approach each In My Home: Safe, Pet-Friendly Space: My home is fully pet-proofed with a cozy area for rest. Consistent Routine: I follow the pet’s established schedule for feeding, walks, and playtime to ensure a smooth transition. Supervised Socialization: If there are other pets, I manage introductions and interactions to ensure everyone feels comfortable. Enrichment Activities: I provide toys, puzzles, and games to keep them mentally stimulated. In Client’s Home: Familiar Comforts: I maintain the pet’s routine and environment to minimize stress. Respect for Your Space: I treat your home with care, keeping it clean and organized. Communication: I provide regular updates, photos, and videos to give you peace of mind. Custom Care: Whether it’s watering plants, picking up mail, or special instructions for your pet, I adapt to your needs. My goal in both settings is to provide a loving, stress-free experience for pets while giving owners confidence that their furry family members are in great hands.
About: I was born to my family who already owned 2 dogs and then I have always had a dog ever since until I went to university. Since I don’t currently have my own, I love to spend time caring for dogs whenever I can! I am very experienced with giving medicine of all types (topical, oral, in food), adhering to specific schedules and food preparations, as well as basic hygiene like bathing or brushing. I grew up around bigger dogs and smaller dogs and as a sitter have had the most experience with medium to small dogs. I am currently working two part-time jobs in the mornings typically. Generally, my evenings after 6 pm I keep free for pet-sitting and I generally try to keep my Sundays and Mondays free aside from an appointment or two virtually. My experience with pet-sitting in NYC has been through house-sitting or by checking in on the pets at least twice a day (morning and night). The majority of my care happens at the client’s residence and I like to gather all the information for the pet’s schedule and routine from the family before I care for them. I believe in clear communication and giving regular updates to the family to ensure that the care their pet is receiving is the very best it can be and in-line with what they are used to in their daily lives.
“Jeremiah was fantastic! He took great care of our crazy lab and two cats lol! He was very communicative and made sure to reach out promptly if any questions came up. He also was flexible, which was great for us. I know our pets were well taken care of. I 100% recommend!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Scottdale
Danielle took exceptional care of Theo!! He is often slow to warm up to new sitters, but by the second visit it was clear that he really liked her. She provided insightful messages on Theo each day and I had peace of mind knowing she was checking in on him. I would absolutely book her again and you should too!

Elisabeth did a fantastic job with our three pups. She followed all directions and made the whole process worry free. She has a great calming energy, which even put our shyest pup at ease during our initial meet and greet. We feel lucky to have found such a gem and look forward to using her again in the future.

We had a great experience! Our boy has some anxiety and can take a little while to warm up to new people, so we appreciated how patient and understanding she was. She came by for a meet and greet beforehand and took the time to let him get comfortable at his own pace. She was great with him during their first hangout, and we feel comfortable having her for future drop in visits!

Kamron was awesome with our dog and friends dog that was staying over. We asked for a last minute drop in and Kamron came through! He left great feedback. It was such a relief having someone we could trust to check on them. He was super quick to respond. He also paid attention to detail and took great care in what we needed. We will use him again for sure! Above and beyond, excellent experience.

We were pleasantly surprised to see our Barley so relaxed and himself when we arrived back home after the visit. We knew Jennifer and he would be great together since Jennifer has such a peaceful and attentive nature. We received wonderful photos of him looking happy and calm. Love them! Thank you, Jennifer, for taking such good care of Barley and allowing us to get out of the house for a bit without the worry. We appreciate your time and looking forward to the next visit very soon!

Lynn is amazing! She took on the responsibility of my pups, last minute, having never met them, and did wonderfully! Lynn communicated with me at every step. She is thoughtful and totally wants to do everything she can to make my pups, and me, comfortable and taken care of. She is highly recommend! I will definitely want to book Lynn again!

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Scottdale is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $30 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 October 2026, there are 7,199 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Scottdale. 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.
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 Scottdale 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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
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.
