“Jessica is communicative, punctual, and responsible. She took amazing care of our 2 dogs and 2 cats in our home. She managed their medications and our 1-year-old puppy’s high energy. We highly recommend her!”
“Micah did an extended stay with my dog, and was stellar. Communicative, engaged, following instructions, asking questions, caring, thoughtful and responsible. Micah helped me with some mail issues while I was away as well. So wonderful and highly recommend.”
“What a gem we found in Jaquana!! With regular pictures, sweet videos, and detailed updates, we had zero worries about our dogs in her care during our week-long vacation. Fig, Una and Oatie can’t wait for next time! 💚”
“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.)”
“Julia did a wonderful job with my pitbull Dex. I was constantly updated. I got pictures. 10/10 recommend. And the house was in perfect order when I got home. I can’t thank her enough. I’ll be reaching out to her whenever I leave town without my boy!”
“Andrea took great care of our Carolina dog over the weekend. She provided lots of updates and took great care of our home as well. She is professional, responsible and a great communicator. Highly recommend Andrea for all of your pet sitting needs!”
“We were impressed by how Jillian went above and beyond, such as providing daily updates and taking good care of both our cats and our home. She stayed in our place for 2 weeks and we felt comfortable knowing that our place was left in good hands. We appreciate that she is a very responsible, respectful and polite person and takes pride in what she does. Communication with her was very easy and she is always responsive but most importantly our cats loved her since the meet and greet. We definitely recommend Jillian to take care of your fur babies”
“Brittany was very responsive to all of my communication before and during her stay at our house. She was very attentive to our dog and was very tidy with our house. We appreciate her care of our pup!”
“We had the pleasure of having Anna take care of Philip while we were away, and she did an outstanding job. She took wonderful care of him, and we felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. We came back to a spotless home just as we left it, and most importantly, Philip was happy and well cared for. Highly recommend her!”
“Jay is great! Fast, frequent communication. Lots of great photos! He took great care of our Otto for several days. The only problem is I think our dog might like him better than us - ha! Would definitely book again.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Jordyn is awesome! She takes such good care of our 2 dogs. She stayed in our house this past weekend to take care of them, and it was such a relief having somebody there that you knew was responsible and loving towards your dogs.”
“We have three big dogs and it's not always easy to mange them. Ryan did a great job. Especially with our "little" one, Ginny. She can be stubborn and refuse to go out for walks. She was hesitant at first, but Ryan was able to get her to come out eventually.”
“Marquesha was a great house sitter. She was punctual and dependable. She took care of two dogs and cats. She followed all of our directions and left our house in top shape!”
“Shaine is so easy to work with. She communicates well, is always on time, leaves our home in great shape, and our dog is always happy. We'll definitely continue to have her dog sit.”
“Carolina did awesome with Franklin. Franklin was comfortable with her, and she was able to give Franklin food and attention that he needed, along with giving medication. Definitely will book her again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Scottdale
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!!
Jillian is amazing! She is very kind and sweet to our pup. She takes him on fun journeys to explore and walk different places. She does check in first before doing so. She is very trust worthy and also leaves our house clean and spotless. Thank you, Jillian!!
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!

FAQs for House Sitting - Scottdale
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Scottdale on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 4,845 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 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.

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.
