About: I’ve had my own dogs my entire life, caring for them and others. Ultimately I decided to give my love to animals at shelters and boarding facilities, and now I hope to extend my love for animals to your sweet baby! Ive worked with 3 legged dogs, blind dogs, deaf dogs, and everything in between! I am currently a worker at a dog daycare, I am available for my services everyday but my job does cut the time available on those days much shorter. I love walking so me and your pup will get lots of exercise! Mental stimulation is a big thing for me, lots of lick mats and puzzles will be available! Potty breaks every 2 hours or as needed, and playing with them for as long as they want!
About: I’ve had my pitty for roughly two years and have had to deal with training, medicinal application, behavioral management and hardcore cuddling. I also have experience dealing with smaller dogs as well and tailoring my care to suit their needs as well. I work in the food service industry so my schedule can be a bit sporadic but I have taken care of my dog for two years without incident and it’s been great! I can be as flexible as you need me to be. Frequent walks and playtime. Your buddy will get the attention they deserve! I currently do not offer services in my home because my dog does not get along with intact dogs and my apartment is small.
“Renee is absolutely amazing. Our dog Birdie loves her. She took care of him for three days. She sent us very detailed reports and many photos during her visits. She is great at communicating and everything went so smooth thanks to her. I would ask for Renee's help again in the future with no hesitation.”
“Again Ms. Cat did an amazing job with my 2 babies. She is very attentive with them and knows each of their personalities really well. The biggest struggle for me is ensuring that my older dog, Walker, could get his medication. We talking through his needs each day, twice a day and she had no issues administering his eye drops. When I arrived home they were both comfortable and not stressed as I have experienced with other sitters.”
“Andre was the perfect sitter for our two cats! He did everything we asked, was incredibly attentive and caring, proactively offered to do additional things to make our cats happier, and left very detailed updates and plenty of pictures for every visit. He left no question that we can count on him for future drop-ins.”
“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!”
“Sarah was the first sitter I have ever used that I had never met before downloading the Rover app and it was quite a wonderful experience. It was a last minute holiday book so I was truly shocked to find anyone with availability but Sarah was so sweet to work with my crazy travel schedule. Sarah's rover cards were always detailed and included a fun note about something fun Blue did that day or a particular toy she was beginning to favor. Blue was clearly well cared for and enjoyed having her play time with her new friend!”
“We love Emma and so do our pets 🥹 Rosie hates storms/rain and I am sure was not the easiest to take out and yet Emma succeeded without issue. Will continue booking her whenever we go out of town!”
About: I genuinely love animals and have experience caring for a variety of pets including dogs, cats, reptiles, guinea pigs, and other small animals. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I always take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Whether it's feeding, walking, playtime, cleaning, or simply keeping them company, I treat every pet with patience, attention, and care as if they were my own. I’m comfortable following specific routines and instructions to make sure your pet stays happy and stress-free while you're away. I currently work from home which allows me to provide consistent, attentive, and personalized care. I have plenty of time to give pets love, play, and regular updates. I have a spacious, secure three-story townhome and access to backyard space as well as a private neighborhood dog park, providing a safe and enriching environment for pets.
About: I grew up with dogs and a cat in a loving home and absolutely love animals! I've also dog sat for close family and friends throughout my life. My soul kitty just passed away recently and I'm looking to fill my time with love, care, and cuddles from our furry family members we love so much. I know what it's like to care for, show love and interest, play and meet their needs where they're at. I may be new to pet sitting with Rover, but I am not new to caring for and loving animals. I've used Rover for pet sitters to care for my cat when she was with me, and am familiar with this platform and the needs/concerns of being a pet parent. I promise to care for your pets just as I did for my kitty. I work in the office Monday-Wednesdays, but work from home Thursdays-Fridays. I have more daytime flexibility for drop ins on Thur/Fri. Otherwise happy to do drops ins outside of working hours in the beginning of the week. While I live in a condo, there is plenty of space to take dogs out for a walk, potty, etc. I live in a quiet complex and have a nice little nature path between our buildings. I can also easily to take them to dog parks that are close by (on leash of course, I wouldn't take them off leash as they are not my own-for everyone's safety). If staying at your home-I am respectful and will follow all instructions to the t.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Scottdale
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!
I hate to brag on her because that books her calendar and makes reservations tight. However, there is no way to say anything contradictory. Sarah has become part of our family. I totally trust her with my fur babies. I think my cat loves her more than me sometimes. And she is very attentive to any changes. Like this visit she knew something was up when my dog didn’t eat the last day. She notified me and made an extra visit to come to check her condition. She is proactive when anything is abnormal. Not only does she notify me but offers suggestion on what to do. My babies are seniors like me now and she adjust their activity as needed. I could write a book on how wonderful, loving & caring Sarah has and continues to be. I am so glad Sarah came into our lives. My fur babies say 5 stars are not enough. They see her as a special Aunt that has always been there for them, loves on them and makes them happy. Oh the eating problem turned out that my dog was missing me. Since I retired we are together all the time. Once I brought my suitcase inside she ate all her food. Nice to know that my dog loves me that much and not just Sarah ❤️
Again Ms. Cat did an amazing job with my 2 babies. She is very attentive with them and knows each of their personalities really well. The biggest struggle for me is ensuring that my older dog, Walker, could get his medication. We talking through his needs each day, twice a day and she had no issues administering his eye drops. When I arrived home they were both comfortable and not stressed as I have experienced with other sitters.
Jordan is awesome. My dog Lexi has separation anxiety and had a rough time the first day I was gone. Jordan was flexible and understanding allowing for some adjustments that helped Lexi relax and be less anxious and the remaining went smoothly. So grateful for Jordan. She is patient, caring understanding and so much more. I was able to enjoy my trip knowing Lexi was in great hands with Jordan.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Scottdale 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 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 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 Scottdale with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
