“Micah took great care of our two pups while we were away over night. He sent plenty of updates and pictures and left our home in great shape. He has become our “go to” sitter and walker.”
“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.”
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.

I make pet care a priority and believe every pet deserves consistent attention, patience, and companionship. I communicate clearly about my availability and work with pet owners to maintain their pets’ regular feeding, walking, playtime, and care routines. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always important to me. I respect your home, follow your instructions, and make sure your pet receives attentive, responsible care. I want every owner to feel confident knowing their pet is in good hands.
“Shayla was very communicative and sent photos of our pups to us regularly. The pups seemed like they enjoyed their time with her and they got lots of attention/cuddles! We will definitely reach out to Shayla when we need a sitter in the future!”
“Jose was a fantastic in-house sitter for my Labrador Retriever, she took to him immediately and he was a great communicator, sending plenty of updates and pics. He left my house neat as a pin, I will definitely utilize his services again!”
“Viva is the best dog sitter!!! Our boys have such a wonderful connection with her and while we miss them when we are away, we never worry about them. She always sends the best pictures and videos, too! 15/10!”
“Amber has helped me on a few occasions and has been so wonderful! She keeps the place clean and keeps me updated on how my dog is doing. I have a senior dog so Amber has helped put my mind at ease with how attentive she is with my girl! Thank you Amber- will be using her again!”

About: I am an Atlanta-based young professional providing dedicated house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking. I have experience taking care of both cats and dogs of all sizes and have a special place in my heart for pets that take a little while to warm up to people. I understand how to respect your pet’s boundaries and build trust at their own pace. Whether your pet needs an energetic walk or a quiet, comforting presence while you are away, I will care for them with the same respect and patience I would my own! - Drop-In Visits & Short Walks (Monday – Friday): Available for early morning check-ins (before 7:30am) or anytime after 4:30 PM. - House Sitting (Overnights & Weekends): Available 7 days a week for overnight stays. On weekends and holidays, I have open availability to spend the day caring for your pet in their own home. I like to schedule a Meet & Greet with your pet before finalizing an appointment to help get them as comfortable as possible and build trust before you go! For pet safety, I always keep your contact info, your veterinarian’s information, and the nearest emergency vet address readily available.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life, including German Shepherds, Chihuahuas, and Shih Tzus. I currently have a Chihuahua of my own, so I understand how much our pets mean to us. I’m comfortable with both large and small dogs and love getting to know each dog’s unique personality. I’m patient, gentle, attentive, and will treat your dog like family while they’re in my care. I have a flexible schedule and can work pet care into my daily routine. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. I’m happy to communicate about your pet’s specific routine and needs. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I follow your instructions closely, keep pets safe and supervised, and make sure they have everything they need. I’m dependable, gentle, and attentive to each pet’s individual personality and routine.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Scottdale
Jasmine was available for house and dog sitting on short notice. She came to the house to meet me and the dogs prior to the engagement. She was responsible, friendly, and easy to communicate with, giving us daily updates on the dogs. She did a great job taking care of the house and dogs and that allowed us to enjoy a long weekend away. I recommend her to any pet owner!
Eve was lovely and wonderful with Wesley! Wes is a bit of a tricky dog and Eve paid close attention to the details during our meet and greet and had a successful weekend with him! She kept us up to date with photos and summaries and we came back to a happy and fulfilled pup :)
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!
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!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Scottdale is $57 per night as of November 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.

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 Rover Guarantee, 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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 Meet & Greet.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Scottdale. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
