“Julia is our go-to for housesitting and caring for our senior kitty. She does his medicine perfectly. He is always happy and well when we return. She leaves our place in perfect condition and she is super accommodating and easy to work with!”
“The dogs love Jay - including the German Shepherd who usually takes a while to warm up to strangers. Jay is very laid back and good with the dogs. Jay played with the dogs and they were definitely not starving for attention when we returned from our overnight trip. We've already booked Jay again for an eight day trip later this month.”
“Jeanmarie does such a great job with our dog and our parrot. Our dog really loves Jeanmarie and our parrot shows her love with extra singing with Jeanmarie is there. She left our house in great shape and communicated regularly with us. We have used Jeanmarie in the past and would use her again!”
“Bennett was phenomenal. We have 3 kittens and needed someone to stay over to watch them. Incredibly responsive, very communicative, and even more so thoughtful, we were impressed by Bennett. Very willing to send several photos a day, tell you any updates as needed, and provide you the kind of peace of mind any pet owner wants to be able to enjoy their vacation without stressing over if their pets are okay.”
“Brittany helped us out on short notice. Everything went smoothly all week with the dogs, house, communication, etc! She kept a close eye on our semi-sick/recovering pup, also.”
“Savannah is an absolute gem! She recently took care of our 3 pups and our home while we spent a week at the beach, and she went above and beyond! She made sure we were updated on how the pups were doing and actively looked for ways to help us around our home to make our return so much easier. Our pups were so happy when we came home, we could tell they received so much TLC. Highly recommend!”
“Extremely professional and knowledgeable pet/house sitter. Our dog didn't even miss us! House spotless upon return. Excellent communication throughout 10 day sit. Would definitely use again.”
“My dogs were extremely happy and relaxed when I came back home after being in Bri’s care. She took incredible care of them and my apartment was immaculate. She is professional, trustworthy, and interested in learning about your pets to best caew for them and accommodate their routines as much as possible. Highly, highly recommend booking with her.”
“Lyric did a fantastic job! Kept watch over our fur babies and sent us updated pics throughout the house sitting. It was wonderful to have the peace of mind that they were well taken care of while we were away :)”
“Manuela could not have been a better sitter for our dogs! She was very communicative and professional. She took wonderful care of the pups and went above and beyond!! Would 100% use her services again!”
About: Over the past year, I've pet sat regularly for friends, including overnight house-sitting stays and drop-in visits. My friends have trusted me with repeat visits because I stick to routines, pay close attention to each pet's needs, and communicate clearly while they're away. My schedule is wide open right now (the place I worked went out of business) so I have plenty of availability for pet sitting throughout the week. I keep a regular daytime schedule and don't stay out or up late. A couple of evenings a week I have roller derby practice or networking events, but I'm typically home by 10 PM so this won't affect overnight availability. I try to be a calm, attentive presence during visits, and I carefully follow instructions on how to care for your pets. I make sure to have vet and emergency information before you leave and will let you know immediately if anything comes up while you're away. I make sure to lock up and set the alarm every time I leave and leave your home as I found it. I have references from repeat clients if you'd like to check with them first.
“Tycen was great! She took excellent care of our house and our Murph. She followed the medication instructions easily and even took Murph on an adventure- which isn’t always the easiest. So many thanks!!”
“Grace was great with all of her communications and took excellent care of Ozzie while we were out of town. I will definitely use Grace again and highly recommend her to anyone in need of her services. Thank you again Grace for all of your time and efforts.”
About: I have been a frequent dog-sitter for about two years now but I have had dogs all my life, making me the perfect candidate to take care of your four-legged friends. I’m happy to take care of your pets because I enjoy being around animals! Most people would describe me as gentle and caring. I have worked with anxious dogs in the past and I believe I am able to make them feel comfortable and safe to alleviate any anxiety they face. I am a full-time student with classes on Monday, Wednesday, & Thursday so I am looking to watch your pets on the weekends preferably! But if you would need me for longer I will more than likely be open to accommodating :) I will follow any and all rules given to care for the pet. I love going on walks so if the weather allows it, I would love to take your pup on a walk! I am also a loving person who will be very affectionate towards the pet to affirm their safety. I have worked with both anxious dogs and cats in the past, and I believe I am good at soothing their anxiety.
“I can’t thank Anna enough for taking such incredible care of my dog. While I was away, Wanda got into a bag of chocolate, and Anna acted immediately, rushing Wanda to the emergency vet and keeping me updated every step of the way. Anna’s quick thinking truly saved Wanda’s life. Knowing Wanda was in such caring and capable hands gave me so much peace of mind. I’ll always be grateful for Anna’s compassion, and genuine love for animals. Wanda and I are incredibly lucky to have found Anna!”
“Wonderful. My husband and I went away to visit my family in England & Roxie was great. She updated us everyday with pictures and info about what our 3 fur babies were upto. We will definitely be using Roxie for our next vacation & would recommend her to anyone!”
About: I got my first dog at the age of 5 and my love for pets only grew from there. I've worked as a volunteer at a rescue as well as a professional Kennel Technician. I'm the person who answers "both" to the question "are you a dog or a cat person?" Unlike apartment complexes, I don't have any breed restrictions. In fact, I adore bully breeds and rescued my own pit mix. I'm also experienced with both puppies and kittens so I have no age restrictions either. I would be happy to set up a meet & greet prior to a booking. Please let me know if you have any questions and I'd be happy to answer them! I have open availability at the moment so I can spend as much time as you want with your pets and would love an excuse to leave my apartment. I am comfortable with every type of harness and leash and can crate your pet if necessary. I understand that all pets have boundaries and will respect those boundaries as I learn them. Your pet's trust is very important to me and I will work hard to earn it. I'm more than happy to set up a meet & greet to introduce myself to them.
“Miranda was wonderful with our dog while we were away. She provided updates and pictures daily. And, when our return flight was delayed, Miranda was willing to add an unplanned visit to make sure our pup got out for another walk. We will certainly request Miranda again in the future!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Scottdale is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Scottdale
Emily was wonderful about communicating with us and sending pics of the pups while we were away. She stayed in our home & even took our dog to daycare one day. We fully trust her & the dogs LOVED HER!! We will recommend her to our friends and neighbors and look forward to using her services again soon!
Kiara did an excellent job taking care of our large pack (3 pups & a kitty cat). She sent pictures of the gang cuddling each day. Took the pups for a walk. Everyone seemed very relaxed when we got back. She kept the house in excellent condition. Will absolutely call her again.
Micah was very responsive and patient. We have two dogs, one with Addison's Disease, and it requires daily critical medication. Not to mention anxious when we are gone. Micah was so patient and had a good sense of humor, which is so helpful. Already booked Micah again!!
Excellent service, looked after the dogs brilliantly, took care of the home, great communication and a lovely, friendly and professional dog and home sitter, just what we were hoping for! Our dogs can be a little nervous and wary, but got on really well with Lindsay.
We were very pleased with Jennifer as she cared for our dog, Barley, and our home, while we were out of town. She is very responsible, detailed, caring, and communicative. Barley can be an anxious boy, but he seemed very content with Jennifer’s care. Barley looked very happy and relaxed in the pictures she sent us in her daily communications. On our return home it was obvious that Barley and our home had been well looked after. Big extra kudos go to Jennifer for dealing with a power and internet outage that occurred during a storm on her first day there. Power was restored quickly but the Xfinity internet outage lasted 5 days! Not only did Jennifer have to change her plans with no internet, but she worked with us from afar to troubleshoot with Comcast, coordinate a tech visit, and be here to help the tech on the day we were in the air traveling back. Thank you Jennifer for going above and beyond! We highly recommend Jennifer to care for your pet and home.
Brittany was great! We have two dogs and we were out of the country for 9 nights and Brittany did a wonderful job with our dogs and our house. She was communicative, sent pics, and spent so much quality time with our dogs. She also took great care of our home and it was spotless when we returned :) We will definitely use her again if we take another trip. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Scottdale is $58 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $84 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 October 2026, there are 4,732 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Scottdale. 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 Scottdale 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 Scottdale 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 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!
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.
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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
