“Marie went above and beyond to take care of our dogs and our house while we were away. She is extremely thoughtful and handles every aspect of watching our dogs with care. We will definitely be requesting her again in the future!”
“Madeleine was very kind and reliable taking care of my dog Zeke. I was nervous leaving him alone, but she kept me updated and sent me lots of photos. I could tell he liked her, because he looked so happy in the photos!”
“Meredith was the most amazing person; literally an angel on earth. I was an out-of-state couple in for a wedding, forced to bring my 2 lovely pups with me when my dog sitting fell through. She literally saved me so I could go to the wedding. I'm so grateful, there's no way to describe it. She helped my dogs stay calm and happy while we were away, and I literally would've missed out on so much without her. A gem among humans, for sure. Would 1000% recommend.”
“Jamie has been such a pleasure to work with. I have a bulldog who has a large list of "to do's" each day not to mention his quirky sweet personality. She has been wonderful with him and all his needs. This is extremely important to a nervous mom!! She also has been flexible to work with on schedule modifications. I would highly recommend her!!”
“Ynez was great! She house sat while we went away for the weekend and I couldn’t recommend her enough! She sent plenty of updates and pictures and olive loved her right away!”
“Olivia did a marvelous job housesitting for my Lab Archer. She was very caring and communicative and followed care instructions to a tee! Home was clean and she clearly cared about Archer and our home. The peace of mind she gave me knowing Archer was well cared for was priceless. 👏👏👏”
“Madilyn was great! We had an unexpected last minute dash to find a sitter for our two old cats and little anxious dog when our previous sitter backed out. We communicated with a number of folks to try to find someone and were not finding them to be responsible or reliable. Then Maddy saved the day. She was calm and clear and followed through on the items discussed. We knew our house and pets were in good hands and are so thankful for her help. Thanks again, Madilyn!”
“My boy George was obsessed with Marianne the minute he met her. I left town for a few days while Marianne was watching him and I got lots of updates and photos about the stay. If you have separation anxiety like I do while leaving my dog, he will be in great hands. I’ll be definitely booking Marianne back to back for future stays. I feel so lucky to find someone so good to my beloved pup, who is also so respectful to the property. Thank you Marianne, we love you :) Eva & George”
“Rachel is the perfect sitter. When we come home, the girls are calm and happy and usually go looking around the house for her. I am so grateful that we have such a kind, trustworthy and incredible person whose care we can leave our pups in, knowing they are getting the best sitter ever. I can’t recommend Rachel enough!”
“Stella did an AMAZING job with our 2 dogs. She communicated with us everyday and sent pictures of our fur balls. We appreciated anytime she had a question, she reached out to ensure she was caring for our home or Eli and Sherlock the way we wanted. Would highly recommend Stella, and will for sure be using her again. Thank you Stella.”
“Tamaya was great with our anxious dog! We booked her for 2 weeks overnight at our home while on vacation and she quickly eased our worries about leaving our dog for such a long time due to her separation anxiety. During the stay, she sent plenty of pictures and she kept us updated on any changes. She followed the instructions perfectly and even started watering the plants when I asked a couple days into my trip. We came back to a clean home and a happy dog☺️ We will definitely rebook her in the future!”
About: Hi! I’m an animal lover who enjoys spending time with dogs of all ages and sizes. I’m patient, dependable, and dedicated to making sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s going for walks, playing fetch, sticking to their routine, or providing plenty of cuddles, I’ll make sure your dog gets the care and attention they need. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll keep you updated so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands. 🐾 Pet care is already a part of my daily routine because I enjoy being around animals and staying active. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide regular walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention, ensuring pets receive consistent and reliable care. 🐾 I live in an apartment complex so I am regularly walking my beagle every 6 hours. When in other people’s homes I fit my schedule around my clients to ensure the pets routine and daily needs are taken care of first!
“Kayla did an amazing job taking care of our dog, Tikal. She made sure he was fed on his specific schedule, took him on several walks, and spent plenty of quality time with him to ensure he was always comfortable and safe. In addition, she checked in on our cat, Nori, twice, making sure he was fed, cared for, and played with as well. We truly appreciated her attentiveness and care, and we would absolutely book with her again to look after our pets.”
“Rachel was great and attentive dog sitter! She had incredible patience with my dog who was experiencing separation anxiety. She followed all the instructions and I returned to happy and relaxed dogs.”
“Maddie was awesome! She took great care of both of my dogs and kept me updated the entire time. She made me so comfortable while I was away and I knew my dogs were having such a great time! I would definitely book with Maddie again and I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a trustworthy dog sitter. She goes above and beyond! ?”
“Cedell took excellent care of our two cats and dog while we were out of town. Our pets were well cared for, and communication was great. We really loved the videos and photo updates. I would absolutely recommend her!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Scottsdale
Olivia stayed with my 2.5 month rescue and resident cat during my first trip away from them. She was communicative, and patient, given my dog had trouble going to sleep the first night I was away. I am grateful she stayed with them and definitely recommend her as a sitter!
Giselle went above and beyond while taking care of Porter! He felt comfortable around her which is rare with new people and I received many pictures and updates during the stay which gave me a peace of mind :) will recommend Giselle to anyone looking for a pet caretaker that loves animals! 10/10 🌟
Another successful stay with Will! Our pups were genuinely excited to see Will…so much so, I don’t think they even noticed we left! Will was consistent with his communication, sending photos & videos & went above and beyond to ensure pills were administered on schedule while we were away. We had a trip free of anxiety thanks to Will & his care. We found a gem in a sitter!
Shawna was amazing! This was our first time leaving our dog with someone who wasn't a family member, so we were hesitant at first. From the initial meeting, we knew Shawna was going to be a great fit. During the stay, Shawna sent us tons of pictures and provided us with tons of updates. We were out of the country for 12 days and never felt once we had to worry about our boy. She took great care of him and our house. He loved being with her and we could tell he felt comfortable with her. We would highly recommend Shawna to anyone and will definitely be using her again for any future trips we take!! Thanks again!
Laury was the best! She took fantastic care of our home and even better care of our dog. She communicated very well, sent regular updates, and made our timid boy happy as could be while we were gone. Her passion for her work and bond with dogs was abundantly clear from the moment we met her. We are looking forward to future bookings with her!
Sonja took wonderful care of Zefí today for a full 10 hours. She sent lots of adorable photo updates throughout the day, which gave me so much peace of mind. What I appreciated most was the balance she created — Zefí stayed engaged, active, calm, and relaxed all at the same time. When I picked her up, she was happy and content, not overstimulated or stressed. It’s clear Sonja really understands dogs and pays attention to their individual needs and energy levels. I would absolutely trust her with Zefí again and highly recommend her.

FAQs for House Sitting - Scottsdale
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Scottsdale on Rover is $50 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 5,037 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 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.

- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections

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.
