“Solange was absolutely UH-MAZE-ING! I almost hate to leave a great review because I don’t want anyone to snatch her up from me! Lol! She was so good with all THREE of my big pups. She followed all of my directions to a T and checked in with me everyday. I know having 3 dogs to care for can be a bit much but she handled it with grace, and care. She’s stuck with me and my crew now. I’m already booking her for my next work trip! She’s a pleasure to work with. :)”
“Bindi - my high-energy, somewhat skittish Italian greyhound - absolutely adores Jeanmarie! Bindi immediately felt comfortable both playing with and curling up next to Jeanmarie, and that is a first. I can't leave Bindi with just anyone, but I am confident in Jeanmarie's skills. She's got the magic touch!”
“We had a great experience with Jiayi! She was super caring and thoughtful, and I never had to worry while I was away. Everything went perfectly. I’d absolutely recommend her!”
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.
“Andre is great! He clearly cares a lot about animals, and he listened to everything I had to say about my cat and her needs. It's always hard leaving her for an extended trip, but she was in great hands with Andre. I trust him wholeheartedly to take of my cat, and I won't hesitant to book him again!”
“Jordyn was excellent! We have 3 large dogs and a cat and Jordyn was up for the challenge! She was kind with us and our pets and sent tons of pictures! 10/10 would recommend Jordyn if you have large dogs and need someone who knows how to handle them!”
“Carlia and Talia were terrific with our new puppy (2.5 weeks). They were incredible thoughtful and attentative to him for the 3 drop-ins a day that we needed. While at work we were completely at ease with the care and love he was receiving, and you can't get better than that - thank you Talia and Carla!”
About: I have had both cats and dogs in my care since i was 10 years old, my ex husband’s cockatiel, and a brief stint with a snake in my adult life, too. I also have 2+ years in pet sitting and dog walking experience. I treat every pet in my care with the same patience and attention I’d want for my own. I offer drop-in visits and walks, sticking to your preferred schedules and habits so your pet feels secure. You’ll get honest, regular updates with photos every time I visit. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. My flexible availability allows me to spend quality, unhurried time during drop-ins or walks. Whether your pet needs a quick check-in or a longer midday visit, I’m able to stick closely to the timing they're used to. When caring for pets in your home, safety and security are my main priorities. I make sure double gates and doors are secure, stay observant during walks, and follow your exact house rules. I take care to leave your space just as I found it and keep you updated after every visit so you know everything went smoothly.
About: I’ve always had a natural connection with dogs. They seem to know that I genuinely love being around them, and I take the time to get to know each dog’s personality, routines, and individual needs. My goal is for your pup to feel safe, happy, loved, and completely at home while you’re away. 🐾 I’m experienced with feeding, exercise, medications, playtime, and keeping dogs on their normal routines. I’m attentive to the little things that help them feel secure and cared for. I also take pride in caring for your home. I’m responsible, respectful, tidy, and detail-oriented, and I’ll make sure things are well cared for while you’re gone. You’ll come home to a happy, well-loved dog and a clean, cared-for home. I don’t just watch dogs—I get to know them. ❤️ Dogsitting is my full-time gig so if I’ve taken you on as a client, your dog will receive the absolute best care, with attention given to their routine, including walks, playtime, feeding and cuddles. In my home, your dog will receive the pet-centered care they deserve per your directions (feeding, walks, etc) They will have a room to feel safe, inside or outside a crate. They will be encouraged to sit on the couch or in a dog bed for chill time, receive frequent walks (I do not currently have a fenced yard) and will be left alone for 2-3 hours max.
About: I have been around dogs my whole life. I have trained many dogs, including pitbull’s Saint Bernards, Chihuahuas, Maltese, etc. I have taken care of dogs at all ages in stages of life, elderly, puppy, pregnant. I absolutely adore dogs! I am an avid walker and walk over 6 miles daily. I would love to help out some people with furry friends who aren’t able to walk them as much! I am a great choice when it comes to watching your dog when you are away! I am super accountable and enjoy spending time with dogs!
“Grace is amazing! She is so thoughtful and communicative. I have two cats with a lot of complicated instructions for their care when I’m gone. And Grace took to my complex instructions in stride. She took notes when I met her and is very detail oriented. While I was away she wrote very detailed description of everything that happened during her visit. And send a few cute pics each visit too! She would even notify me of any potential concerns with the cats. Like their bathroom habits or sneezing/congestion, etc. Grace clearly loves pets and is a perfect pet sitter. I definitely plan on booking her again when I go out of town next!”
“Peggy was wonderful. She was very knowledgeable about cat care. She made us feel very comfortable that our three kitties were receiving great care. I really appreciated that she sent us daily updates and pictures. We will definitely use Peggy again when we need someone to take care of our cats.”
“Great care an attention for Stanley! Addison was timely and very professional, and kept me posted on everything happening (including cleaning up an accident!) thank you!”
About: Hi, my name is Brittany and I love animals. (I'm sure everyone here says that.) I have been volunteering at various shelters for years, as well as fostering dogs and house sitting for dogs, cats, and chickens. I am trustworthy (I have client references if needed) and I take great care to make sure every pet feels love like they should. :) I do request dogs to be house trained. I can offer a nice walk on sidewalks or the trail, or just throwing a ball inside, if your pet is anything like mine was. (Miniature Rat Terrier, we played a lot of fetch in this condo.) I writing from home so there will be a lot of one-on-one time. I’m that someone to water your plants and get your mail while you are away! Big dog people: I love big dogs! If you have a backyard we can play in, perfect! I’m kind of a small human, so walks with a dog that pulls and isn’t 20 lbs is not something I’m comfortable with. Safety for everyone! My standard routine is working from my laptop, occasional grocery trips, lots of watching Hulu and couch cuddle time. I try to take a daily walk around .5 miles but can adjust to shorter or longer walks based on dog needs. I prefer staying at client’s home, I’ve found most pups feel more comfortable that way. A meet and greet is preferred, just a walk through of how you keep your house, how your pup/s like to be cared for, etc. I’m a homebody, pets will be left alone for no longer than a trip to Kroger.

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!

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.

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.

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.
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.
