“Julia was great! She maintained Ching's normal routine (including lots of walks) and sent lots of pictures every day. She left the apartment in great condition too. Will definitely book Julia again when travelling in the future!”
“Our pup, Stella, really enjoyed staying with Jeanmarie who sent occasional update texts/photos letting us know that Stella was doing well. Stella has some quirks such as not always drinking enough water and Jeanmarie was very understanding about incorporating the strategies to get her to drink into her routine. We appreciate that Jeanmarie took such great care of Stella (and our house where she was staying.)”
“I wanted to build on top of my previous review in order to recognize Jillian's flexibility and reliability. We had a sit scheduled to start on a Saturday, however on Thursday my flight out Saturday was cancelled due to the Government shutdown. I was re-booked to fly out Friday instead and my trip was contingent that Jillian would be available. On 24 hour notice she was able to start the sit one day earlier, allowing the trip to take place. Flying back was also in question due to the volatility of air travel and Jillian was more or less "on call" in the event that my flight was cancelled or extremely delayed (luckily there were no issues). Jillian was a lifesaver and took that stress off of my plate during that time.”
“Jordyn was great! She stayed at our house and watched Chorizo over a long weekend and everything went very well. We really appreciated her updates and pictures throughout the weekend.”
“There are not enough stars for Shaine. She was so professional, so comfortable and so accommodating. She gave my very very big and very very nervous boy the best weekend and she took the best care of my home.”
“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Lauren did a fantastic job as a live in pet sitter while we were out of town. She took care of our golden retriever and our two cats and sent us lots of updates, photos and videos. Highly recommend.”
“Caitlin was great. It was our first time using Rover and she made it super easy. She stayed with our dog over the weekend. He’s been pretty sensitive since losing his dog brother but Caitlin was so patient and kind. Hope she will house/dog sit for us again!”
“Hannah is amazing! She is very communicative and put all of our crew at easy. She sends plenty of updates and pictures of our doofuses chilling and playing and even some funny face candids. Would 100% recommend for dogs AND cats...because we have plenty of both and she takes good care of them.”
About: Hi, I'm Soraya. I love dogs, and treat every pup that stays with me like my own. I live in a cozy, comfortable apartment that's set up for dogs to actually relax in, not just pass through. I am home almost all day, so your dog is never left alone wondering where everybody went. They get attention, company, and someone to nap next to. You'll get photo updates every single day. I know how it feels to drop your dog off and spend the whole time wondering how they're doing, so I don't make you ask. I am fluent in Spanish, so Spanish-speaking owners can message me in whichever language feels easier. Whether your dog is a cuddler, a talker, or just needs someone patient, I’ve got them. I work from home! So I will be with your dog all day. I start with a morning walk, then your fur baby and I will spend the day together, usually out on the patio getting some sun and some love. Afternoon walk, evening walk, and lots of attention in between. Your dog is never sitting alone waiting for someone to come home. Whatever routine and rules you have for your dog, I follow them exactly. Feeding schedule, crate or no crate, treats, off-limits spots, I uphold every one of them. In my home, love and safety come first. My apartment is calm and comfortable, I am always here, and I keep a close eye on your pup the whole stay. You’ll get daily photos so you always know your dog is being loved and taken care of.
“Bryan was a dream! He was proactive every step along the way and responsive whenever I reached out before and during the booking. He treated my home and pets with great care and attention. I would happily give Bryan my highest recommendation and gladly have him back anytime. Thank you, Bryan!”
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!”
“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.”
About: Hi! I'm Jacqueline, and I'd love to help care for your pets as if they were my own. As a lifelong animal lover, I know how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your furry family members. I had the privilege of sharing 15 wonderful years with my dog, and today I'm the proud pet parent of a playful 5-year-old cat. I also regularly pet sit for close friends for years now, caring for both dogs and cats while they're away. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and happy while you're gone. Whether that means long walks, games of fetch, plenty of playtime, belly rubs, cuddles on the couch, or simply keeping them company, I'll tailor my care to your pet's personality and routine. I understand that every animal is different, and I enjoy getting to know what makes each one feel comfortable and loved. I'm dependable, attentive, and believe pets deserve more than just the basics; they deserve companionship, affection, and someone who truly enjoys being with them. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is in caring hands. I can't wait to meet you and your furry family member! I am available 7 days a week, daytime and evenings for quick drop-ins, extended hours, and overnight stays. As a cat and dog owner, I love caring for both types of pets! I am available to care for your pets in your home, whether that means a visit to care for them or staying in your home. My goal is to ensure the pet owner(s) and the pet(s) are comfortable and well taken care of.
“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.”
“Shannon was fantastic. She saved us from a last minute cancellation, and was a pleasure to work with. She looked after our small clan of pets: Samus the skiddish Aussie Shepherd, Oscar the grouchy Siamese & Yoshi the timid tabby point, over the weekend. Shannon was patient with Samus, as it takes her a bit to warm up to new folks. It was clear that Shannon really enjoys being around animals and took great care of our pets. She sent videos of playtime with the dog and told us how the cats absolutely loved her. Would highly recommend, and she will be our first call on our next get-away.”
“Mariah is fantastic! She’s communicative throughout the whole sitting, sending updates so you never have to worry. She’s great with both cats and dogs, clearly comfortable and attentive with different animal personalities. Highly recommend her!”

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!
Jessica was absolutely exceptional. Leaving your home and a young kitten in someone else’s care can be stressful, but Jessica made the entire experience effortless from start to finish. She treated our home with incredible respect, keeping everything spotless and exactly as we left it. More importantly, she gave our kitten so much love, attention, and playtime that we never once worried while we were away. She sent thoughtful updates and photos throughout the week, which gave us tremendous peace of mind and made it clear our little one was happy, comfortable, and thriving. It’s obvious that Jessica genuinely loves animals and takes her responsibility seriously. She is dependable, communicative, kind, and went above and beyond in every way. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for kitten and a home that was even tidier than when we left. We would trust Jessica again without hesitation and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter or house sitter. She is truly one of the best, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Five stars isn’t enough!

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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.
