About: I currently have a 3 year old Pitt mix rescue that I've had for over two years. Previously, I had a 16 year old shitzu, and a 13 year old Rottweiler that I raised both from a pup. I've dog-sat for two special needs frenchies from time to time. I am currently unemployed giving me plenty of time to care for your fur baby. Having a very energetic Pitt has given me the opportunity to practice patience as we have learned together how to handle his insecurities and his manners. I love to do a meet and greet ahead of time so that your pet can sniff and know who I am ahead of visits. It also gives me an opportunity to see where your pet's favorite spot made be, any special feeding or medication needs, and anything else I need to give topnotch care for your pet.
“Anna did an amazing job taking care of my babies. She also helped with training Holly on the use of the doggie door. The house was left neatl and clean. I will use her again in the future.”
“We had Marianne house sit and take care of our 2 large dogs, a chihuahua and our 2 cats for about 10 days. She also watered our garden and plants, took in our mail and signed for deliveries for our home business. We had not left our animals with anyone in 5 years and they are our "kids". Our female was a little hesitant to make friends with her (We expected that might be an issue since she is not a "friendly" dog.) but within a day or so she was letting Marianne give her belly rubs and nudging her hand for attention. This all put our minds at ease. She also gave our chihuahua eye medication twice daily and sent us pics of everyone settling in daily. We were concerned about our cats accepting her and the new routine but they settled in very quickly with her. We are glad to find Maranne and will be using here again for another trip in October.”
“Nancy was incredible! At our initial meet and greet, she was friendly and asked all the important questions, she even asked what type of water Sophie drank!! She sent thorough updates and photos/videos daily. She also cleaned all the sheets + bathroom before I got home! She’s the best. Nancy will be the first I will reach out to next time I need a dog sitter.”
“I am obsessed with my dogs and treat them like my children. Rachel was the same exact way! She went above and beyond to make them comfortable and have fun while I was gone. She was very communicative and sent lots of updates and pictures. Would highly recommend Rachel!”
About: I've loved and cared for all sorts of critters, from newborn kittens to senior dogs (plus tigers, bears, parakeets and rabbits in between). It's my goal to ensure your pets feel safe, go on some adventures, and have some time to play. I would love to be part of your weekly routine. I am a Ph D. Candidate working on completing my dissertation so my schedule is flexible and forgiving. I care for two dogs at home (a senior husky and a rottie mix puppy). I love taking them to the dog park or long boarding along the Green Belt. For home care- your pets will go on at least a 15 minute walk, followed by an essentials check (food, water, health check-in). I am happy to accommodate quirky pets who need a little extra attention. 🥰
About: I've had dogs in my life since I was 4 and can’t imagine a world without them. I've been the primary caregiver for my dog since high school, gaining years of experience in training, care, and companionship. Over the past year, I've expanded my expertise to include overnight boarding for both dogs of all sizes and cats, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Whether it's a walk, playtime, or overnight care, I offer reliable and compassionate pet services tailored to your pets' unique needs. With a 7:30-4:00 job, I have ample time in the mornings and evenings to care for others' pets. In the mornings, I can offer early walks or feeding sessions before heading to work. After my job ends at 4:00, I would visit their home to take care of pets by providing walks, playtime, feeding, or administering medications. On weekends, I could offer longer visits, grooming, or additional care depending on the pet’s needs. My schedule allows for flexibility to meet their specific requirements. I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring comfort and trust. I take time to understand their unique needs, making them feel secure.
“María José was a wonderful caretaker for our dog, Pepper! She stayed at our apartment with Pepper throughout our 5 day trip and took amazing care of our pup. María José sent so mahy pictures, gave frequent and thorough updates and made sure our dog was loved and cared for. We could not recommend her enough!”
“Tinsel is an amazing pet sitter and very empathetic. She goes above and beyond. She kept in contact with me on some issues my cat was having and was very responsive. Highly recommend!”
“McKenna did an amazing job caring for our pups in our home. She communicated well with updates and photos and videos. The pups received the utmost love and care in our absence, and I would not hesitate to recommend or book McKenna again!”
“Morrigan is an amazing pet sitter! She sends pictures every day and our animals look so happy! It looks like she really kept them busy and gave them lots of love! I would recommend her every time!”
“Leslie is THE BEST! She is our go to person! I feel so lucky we found her. It means so much to be able to enjoy your vacation and not worry about your pup and house. Everything is in good hands with Leslie!”
“It's the second time when Leslie takes care of our fur babies...and like the first time everything went without a glitch. Pets love her and they seem very content when we get home...no signs of stress at all...what else can we ask for? Thank you, Leslie!”
“Nancy was great! She was attentive to Mulligan and gave good updates and plenty of pictures while I was away. I would certainly recommend her! Thank you Nancy!”
“My house was clean, Pets were all well taken care of (and they are not the easiest with schedules and meds). Couldn't have asked for a better person to care for them.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Scottsdale
What an absolute gem! The love, care and attention given to my cats was truly exceptional. Communication was wonderful, and I had complete peace of mind knowing my babies were in such good hands. It’s not easy trusting someone with your fur babies, but I couldn’t have felt more comfortable. So grateful to have found such a caring and reliable sitter. Highly, highly recommend, Heather!
Rae is absolutely amazing!! Not only did Rae care for our pup while we were away for our wedding, making it so we did not worry about her, but Rae also cleaned and organized our house!! She left it better than we did and it was a huge surprise coming home to everything so neat and tidy. We are so grateful for Rae and will be using her for all future pet sitting needs. 10000/10 stars!
We really like Alyson! She took great care of our 2 Chiweenies! We did a couple of meet and greets. After we left for our trip they slowly warmed up to her, sat on her lap or right next to her! She sent me photos a couple times a day and asked questions. We will definitely be using her again!!
This was our first trip in 5 years where we needed to use a “stranger”. Our dogs aren’t complicated but they are my babies so anytime I take a trip, I spend most the trip thinking about them and hoping they are ok. During our meet and great with Will I could tell right away he was going to be amazing with the dogs. I was able to be completely stress free during my trip and didn’t really think about the dogs at all! Will was incredibly communicative, sending photos and videos daily. The dogs were happy when we got home and our house was immaculate! Cannot say enough good things about Will and will always recommend him to anyone in need of a sitter.
This was the first time I had to leave my fur-child with someone I didn’t really know so I was a little worried. Candace came over ahead of time to meet us so we would all be comfortable. We had a great chat and she is very personable and considerate. The actual sitting went great and she sent me updates with pics throughout so that I was at ease (and mainly because I missed my boy). Communication was 10/10 from before booking all the way to the end of sitting. My “son” seemed very happy while she was there and she left the place better than she found it as well. I feel lucky she had an opening and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter to ease me through my first time hiring from Rover. I hope to hire her again!
Nancy was amazing in every way! We’ve had her watch our pups several times, and she truly went above and beyond. While we were abroad for a week, she stayed at our home to care for our two doodles. Unfortunately, both got sick with tummy problems, two separate times, and Nancy took the initiative to bring them to the vet and made sure they received their medications correctly. As an anxious fur mom, I had such peace of mind knowing our pups were in her care. She treats them like her own! She was also very communicative, sending plenty of photos and videos, taking them on walks, and following all our instructions. Nancy’s care, attentiveness, and compassion meant so much to us during a stressful situation. We’re incredibly grateful for everything she did for our pups and would gladly trust her with them again anytime! 10 stars!
Simply the best! You know once a dog reaches a certain age, and some say only a parent could love them…Grace also loves them! And tends to all their old dog needs and quirks with a smile, the utmost care, and a fabulous attitude. First time using Rover and having anyone aside from family stay at our house with our two dogs, and Grace was amazing! Prompt, communicative, made sure everything was done how we and the dogs do it. She pays attention to details and gives thorough updates. And she goes above and beyond. You can tell instantly that she truly is an animal lover, and it was clear the dogs could tell too! Looking forward to her staying with them when we go out of town. It’s an absolute relief knowing that they’ll be well taken care of when we’re away!
Mykhailo did such a fantastic job watching our two golden retrievers! Our boys are high energy, and he made sure to play fetch with them multiple times a day. We also really appreciated how he picked up on their different personalities, which was so sweet to see in his daily updates and pictures of the boys. He left our house in great shape and even went the extra mile by stripping the bed sheets and picking up after the dogs outside, which was such a nice surprise to come home to! A few days before our trip, Bridges also started developing a hotspot, and Mykhailo was very diligent about giving him his daily pill and spraying the area. We felt like our boys were in such good hands and would absolutely be happy to have Mykhailo watch them again!
Frydha was amazing watching my dog Bagel! She sent me so many photos throughout our time apart, which put my mind completely at ease. Her communication was great from start to finish. I always knew exactly how Bagel was doing. I could tell she genuinely cared for her. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive sitter, I'll definitely be booking with her
Toni was fantastic with Poppy. She met all of Poppy's needs, took her on regular walks, and kept me updated on how she was doing throughout the stay, so I never had to wonder. She also left everything very clean when she was done. Toni was a pleasure to work with, and I'd happily book her again. Thank you so much for watching my Poppy Toni!
Andrea took wonderful care of Lady during her drop-in visits and was reliable, caring, and attentive. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Lady was in good hands while we were away. She kept us updated with lots of pictures. We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter!
Sonja is absolutely wonderful. I reached out to her at the last minute after another sitter had to cancel, and she rearranged her schedule to make sure Zefí was taken care of. Then my flights were severely delayed and I couldn’t get home until hours later than expected. Sonja immediately told me not to worry and that she would stay with Zefí for as long as I needed. Knowing Zefí was safe, happy, and loved took an enormous amount of stress out of an already difficult travel day. What makes Sonja so special, though, is that she doesn’t just “watch” Zefí—she genuinely enjoys her and makes their time together fun. Sonja is kind, dependable, flexible, thoughtful, and clearly cares about the animals she looks after. I feel incredibly fortunate to have found her and would trust her with Zefí without hesitation.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Scottsdale is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $89 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 4,987 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Scottsdale. 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 Scottsdale 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 Scottsdale 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 Scottsdale 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.
