About: I have experience caring for animals and understand the importance of patience, attention, and love. I enjoy keeping pets happy through feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship. I’m attentive to each pet’s unique personality and needs, whether they’re energetic puppies or older dogs who need extra care and patience. I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I want every pet parent to have peace of mind knowing their furry friend is in caring, reliable hands! 🐾❤️ 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.
“I am so appreciative of Morgan’s services. She’s tentative, caring and loving. I enjoyed the picture and report cards on juicy daily. I will definitely recommend and use Morgan again. Thank you!”
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.
“Jacqueline did a great job checking on 5 dogs for me! It was super last minute and she was willing to come over to do a meet and greet and then let them out the very next day. I can tell they were very happy and had a great time with her.”
About: I grew up with a Doberman (Raven) and a Shih-Tzu (Salem) who I loved dearly. Now, I have a cat named Harvest who I adopted in early 2025. I volunteer with Lifeline’s “Dog for the Day” program periodically where I take a dog from the shelter to Piedmont Park for 3-4 hours. Joy, the white dog in one of my cover photos, was my first dog for the day. I am available Mon until 3pm and all day Fri for drop-in visits and dog walking. I can also house sit Fri-Sun, beginning Fri evening and leaving Sun evening. I live in a quiet one-bedroom apartment with my cat, Harvest. I'm often reading or sitting out on my balcony enjoying the peace.
About: I've forever had a love for dogs. Shadowed in a vet office for two years and have seen animals been given oral meds and other treatments. Have owned several dogs. Currently have 1 dog named Chester. Also have worked with pregnant dogs (my mom has bred several litters). Comfortable with any breed or size. Passionate about every animal not just dogs. I love to go on walks and I'm an excellent trick trainer I might add. I work full time, but I work from home so I am flexible to work with a schedule for feedings and walks. I also can have portable monitor so I can work from other locations besides my home. If I plan to watch you dog overnight, I prefer to do it in the client’s home. Generally, it makes it more comfortable for the dog. Adjustments can be hard and they are already getting used to an unfamiliar face taking care of them. Please do not hesitate to reach if you have fee adjustment requests or questions!
About: I've been an animal lover for as long as I can remember, and rescuing, fostering, and helping animals has always been a big part of my life. Over the years, I've had the privilege of connecting with all kinds of animals, including those considered difficult to adopt, the very shy ones, and those who struggle with separation anxiety or just need a little extra patience and understanding. I've learned that every animal has their own personality, and sometimes the ones who need a little extra love are the ones who make the biggest impression on your heart. I'm a paralegal by profession and a proud pet mom to three cats and three Chihuahuas, so animals have always been a big part of my world! Now that my kids are grown, I have more time to do something I truly enjoy — spending time with animals and making new furry friends. I love getting to know each animal for who they are, whether they're outgoing and playful or shy and need time to warm up. I'm happy to meet them where they are, respect their individual needs, and let them get comfortable at their own pace. To me, pets are family, and I'd love the opportunity to give yours that same care, patience, and affection while you're away. I work full-time Monday through Friday with flexibility in my start and end times, but once I'm at work, I'm there for a full 8-hour day. I'm available for house sitting and drop-in visits around my work schedule, including evenings and weekends. I may also be able to bring your dog to work with me, as long as their vaccinations are up to date. I'm happy to coordinate schedules to find what works best for everyone! Your pet's safety and comfort are important to me. I take the time to understand each pet's personality, routine, and individual needs, and I follow the care instructions provided by their owner. My background in animal rescue and fostering has given me experience with a variety of temperaments, including pets who need a little extra patience to feel comfortable. I believe in respecting both your home and your pet's space, and making sure we're on the same page about expectations and care.
About: I’ve always had a dog since growing up. I love all breeds, small and large. I have also helped foster puppies. I currently don’t have a dog so am missing giving pets, walks, and playing. I am currently a student so I have an irregular schedule which allows me free time during the week and weekends. I frequently go on walks and would be able to easily add a dog to this routine. I do not have any pets in my home at this time. I can easily adjust to however owners ideally want their dog to be taken care of. Whether that is allowing them on the couch or no couch time at all I respect everyone’s own way of raising a pet!
About: I work at a humane society and have tons of experience walking, caring, feeding, and loving the animals I work with! I’ve been a lover of dogs since I was a little girl. Pet care is part of my everyday life! I work with animals full-time at a humane society and spend my off days caring for pets through Rover. Whether at work or home, animals are always a part of my routine. I always cater to each pet’s individual needs in their own home, keeping them comfortable in a familiar environment. I go above and beyond to ensure every pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.
“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!!”
“Devin was a fantastic cat sitter for us. We have a very timid semi-feral kitty and she was very kind and patient with her. She interacted and talked to her and everything went very well. We will definitely book with her again.”
“Eliana was wonderful with my kitty. She sent awesome updates and was able to administer her oral medication on time. It's clear my kitty was well taken care of in my absence. Highly recommend!”
“Wow! Mary took absolutely amazing care of our cats. Her reports were detailed, thoughtful, and genuinely fun to read, which made such a difference while we were away. I felt completely at ease knowing she was watching over the boys—they were clearly loved and well cared for. I can’t recommend her enough!”
“Zhiyu went above and beyond caring for my cats while I was away. She kept me updated every step of the way with photos, videos, and messages, so I always knew they were safe, happy, and receiving lots of love. It gave me so much peace of mind. She is kind, compassionate, attentive to every detail, and genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. I couldn’t recommend her more—10/10, and I’ll definitely be booking her again!”
About: I’ve taken care of all types of dogs and cats. Young, old, cuddly, and grouchy. I have administered medicine and changed diapers. I have also cleaned litter boxes. I currently work part time. I’m a dance teacher. I usually teach in the afternoons/evenings. I don’t work on the weekends. I am usually free in the mornings and middle of the day. I make sure they get plenty of time outside if that’s what they desire. I also make sure they have plenty of food, water, treats, and pets.
About: Having had dogs and cats, all my life, I have experience and love for them. Growing up, my family and I had the joy of caring for up to 15 dogs, 6 puppies, at the same time. Each with their own unique personality and needs. This experience taught me the importance of responsibility, patience, and the joys of unconditional love that only pets can provide. Just finished grad school. I don't have a pet of my own. Happy to share my passion for pets by offering my services. Whether it's walking, feeding, or simply providing a loving presence, you can trust that I will treat your pet with the same care and love as I would my own. I’m open to work everyday of the week, including weekends. I am ooking to take care of your pet in your place if you prefer too. I live in an apartment, it’s close to a lot of parks, and there is plenty of open space in my building to play with them and I don’t mind them being on my couch. :)

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Scottdale
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Scottdale is $19 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $33 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 November 2026, there are 7,157 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 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 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.
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.

- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 95% 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.
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.
