About: I have been around dogs my whole life. I have trained many dogs, including pitbull’s Saint Bernards, Chihuahuas, Maltese, etc. I have taken care of dogs at all ages in stages of life, elderly, puppy, pregnant. I absolutely adore dogs! I am an avid walker and walk over 6 miles daily. I would love to help out some people with furry friends who aren’t able to walk them as much! I am a great choice when it comes to watching your dog when you are away! I am super accountable and enjoy spending time with dogs!
“Jay was really wonderful with my pup. He was always prompt and on time when coming to feed and walk her, and I could tell she was having a blast because of all the picture updates he included with a rundown of each visit. I was so grateful to have someone take care of my pup at home while I was away, and Jay gave me peace of mind knowing she was in good hands.”
“Stacy did a great job taking care of our cat while we were away. She did everything we asked and was very pleasant to communicate with. I would happily trust her to take care of our pets again next time we are away.”
“We highly recommend Meghan, as she was great! She communicated well and sent pictures everyday. She would spend time and play with our two cats. She even cleaned up a mess they had made. Definitely will be rebooking in the future.”
About: I’ve had my pitty for roughly two years and have had to deal with training, medicinal application, behavioral management and hardcore cuddling. I also have experience dealing with smaller dogs as well and tailoring my care to suit their needs as well. I work in the food service industry so my schedule can be a bit sporadic but I have taken care of my dog for two years without incident and it’s been great! I can be as flexible as you need me to be. Frequent walks and playtime. Your buddy will get the attention they deserve! I currently do not offer services in my home because my dog does not get along with intact dogs and my apartment is small.
“An amazing sitter! She took her time making sure the litter boxes were cleaned and the cats were all accounted for. My wife and I were able to unwind from our trip without a worry thanks to Danielle!”
“Maria is great !! She has dropped in on my pets for me twice now and I will definitely be using her anytime she's available. I'm really happy to have found her and I appreciate her updates and thorough care of them :)”
“Ryan is great with our dog Wylder. He drops in over the weekend and takes him for walks/potty breaks. He sends photos of him playing and info on what they did. Wylder definitely seems happier and calmer since Ryan has been dropping in.”
“Couldn’t recommend Elizabeth enough! She was watched my dog and 2 cats while I traveled internationally. She was incredibly accommodating and communicative. This was our first time leaving our dog for so long and she did a wonderful job of making him feel comfortable and relaxed. One of my cats also is usually incredibly shy around strangers and Elizabeth is the only sitter I’ve used from Rover who he comes out for. Our flight got delayed and Elizabeth was very accommodating to the change in the schedule. We are so appreciative!”
“Megan did an incredible job - following instructions, sending cute photos and lovely messages to describe the visit - giving me great peace of mind during a long trip away. I will definitely be rebooking Megan in the future. Great job Megan! You are a life saver.”
About: I love animals but can’t have pets in my apartment so would appreciate sharing that love with your pet! I have been caring for a variety of pets since 2019, mostly dogs & cats (and the occasional bird!). I have experience with dogs of all sizes (from chihuahuas to Great Danes) and most ages. I have less experience with puppies but lots of experience with senior dogs. I have experience with high energy dogs that need multiple walks a day and dogs that struggle with mobility. I have experience with dogs who require medication. I have experience with cats of all temperaments. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out. I have a fairly flexible schedule so am available during the day most days and on weekends. I have been regularly caring for my parents’ elderly Great Dane (11 years old now) since 2020. I am looking forward to spending more time caring for pets. I care for pets in their home environment according to the standards set by the owners. I am very conscious of varying family rules on things such as furniture and am happy to adhere to those expectations. I prefer to stick to whatever schedule the pet(s) are used to (regular walk times, regular feeding times, etc).
“Jordyn was great! She came over to meet our dogs beforehand and was so good with them. Provided us a rover card each day so we could see what the dogs were up to when she came! We will definitely be using her in the future :)”
“Deedee took excellent care of my puppy! She took so many adorable pictures and wrote up a cute description of their day. It put me at ease to know my puppy was in great hands. I will definitely be using her again! Thank you Deedee!”
About: I’m a dog lover with 5+ years of hands-on animal care experience! 🐶 I have a Bachelor’s degree in Biology from Maryville College and a Master of Public Health from UAB. I’ve worked as a canine caretaker, veterinary assistant, and at animal shelters and spay/neuter clinics. I’m also a proud pet mom to a dog, two cats, and a bearded dragon! 🐾 I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, grooming, and medication support. I treat every pet like my own and love making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away! Im a stay at home mom available 24/7. My dog goes on a walk three times a day. We have a dog park that I take her to and give her time to be outside and sniff. My pets are very well taken care of and get a lot of attention. My dog is crated when I leave as she is a escape artist and likes to take food off of the counter. However my animals sleep with me every night and gets plenty of cuddles.

Kailyn was such a great sitter for my cat! She did drop in visits while I was away for about a week and sent regular updates :) I know she was great company for my cat and I appreciated how responsible and on top of everything she was! I will definitely be booking Kailyn again to care for my cat!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Scottdale on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 7,659 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Scottdale. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Scottdale stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Scottdale. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
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.
