“Anna was a godsend while we were out of town! She stayed at our house and we came back to it cleaner than when we left. She sent updates and pictures every day, which left us feeling at ease so we could fully enjoy our trip. Finding someone to house and pet sit can be stressful, but we are so glad we found Anna. I highly recommend her… we will definitely reach back out when we need a sitter in the future! Thank you, Anna🩷🩷”

I’ve had the joy of raising and caring for puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs, giving each one the patience, attention, and love they deserve. I’m dependable, always on time, and committed to providing exceptional care with kindness and compassion. Whether your pet needs a fun walk, companionship, medication, special nutritional care, or extra attention because of age or health, you can trust they’ll be treated like family. In addition to my experience with dogs, I’ve also rescued cats and helped raise litters of kittens, giving me confidence caring for cats of all ages as well. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

I tailor schedules based on pet needs and pet parent requests. Weekly availability, M-F and also weekends and holidays Pets are honored guests in my home and all safety precautions are followed. Clean water is always available and pets are always supervised. When I visit pets in their homes I am always careful and respectful of their environment.

“Mariia, was an excellent dog sitter at my house while I was gone for a week. She is very energetic and enthusiastic. She communicates daily and provides good picutures and updates about how things are going. I will definitely use Mariia again as I have total trust in her with my dog and house.”
“Patrick is always a pleasure to have take care of the pups when I’m away. I know they’re in great hands, and they absolutely love him! He also leaves the house as I left it, which is such an added bonus. Highly recommend!”
“We are so grateful for Marianne! She was absolutely amazing with our fur baby, Zara, and went above and beyond the entire time we were away. She was so patient, kind, and understanding, and even stepped in to watch my brother’s dogs for a few days when his sitter canceled last minute. Truly a lifesaver! Marianne kept us updated with photos and videos that made our day and gave us total peace of mind knowing our dogs were happy and well cared for. Thank you so much, Marianne, for treating them like your own. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will definitely be booking with you again!”

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!
“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!”
“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.”
“Olivia was fantastic with my dogs. I’m so grateful to have met her, she definitely has a knack for connecting with animals. She was prompt and thorough with communication as well. We will absolutely book with Olivia again”
About: I'm the proud owner of a rambunctious little goldendoodle that I've raised from puppyhood to adulthood, so I have plenty of experience with caring for dogs through every stage of life, in both sickness and health, and from fussy moods to bouts of hyperactivity. Moreover, I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and have kept everything from gerbils to birds. As a pet owner, I know it can be stressful leaving your sweet little angel with someone new. My goal is to give you peace of mind and provide attentive care for your pet. More than happy to accommodate any special requests. Glad to send pics and updates as well! I occasionally travel for work, but when I'm home, I have a very flexible schedule and can devote plenty of time to the pets I'm caring for. I'm also an early riser, so morning walks and feeding schedules are never a problem. I will care for your pet as if they were my own. I take the responsibility seriously and will always keep you in the loop. If your pet has any special needs or routine (whether it's avoiding certain foods, allergens, other dogs, or following specific care instructions), I'll be happy to accommodate them. Your peace of mind is my priority.
“Aleksandra took great care of my cat Nutterbutter and she sent lots of pictures and videos while we were away! Highly recommend and we will most definitely be requesting Aleksandra!”
“You will not be disappointed in Rachel. We booked her to house sit and watch our Chihuahua and cat for 11 days while away. Our animals absolutely loved her. She went out of her way to make them happy. She sent pictures and videos of our animals while we were away and answered any questions we had. It was nice to know we had someone that truly cares for animals watching our babies while we were gone. This was the first time we had used a pet sitter so we were nervous. We will definitely be booking her again”
“Catherine was great with our dog, Honey. She arrived early and Honey warmed up to her after a few minutes. Catherine sent pics while we were out which was nice. We would definitely request her again!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Scottsdale is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Scottsdale
Ashley was absolutely wonderful with Abby and Vida while I was away on a work trip. My girls are both very little and sensitive, so I’m always particular about who I trust to care for them, especially when I’m away. Ashley stayed over with them and was incredibly attentive, sending me daily updates and photos that gave me such peace of mind. I arrived home to two very happy, calm little dogs, which says everything about how comfortable and well cared for they were. Ashley also took wonderful care of my home and plants, the apartment was clean and tidy, and she was incredibly respectful throughout her stay. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely trust Ashley with Abby and Vida again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone caring, reliable, and respectful to look after their pets and home!
Sarah took wonderful care of my Italian Greyhound, Zefí, while I was away for four days, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. It was obvious that Zefí was genuinely loved and spoiled with attention—she even got trips to the park for walks and came home happy, relaxed, and content. Knowing she could stay in her own home while being cared for so thoughtfully gave me complete peace of mind. On top of that, I came home to an absolutely immaculate house, which was such a thoughtful touch. Sarah is kind, dependable, and clearly loves the pets she cares for. I would recommend her without hesitation and will absolutely be booking her again.
Thank you so much for watching everybody! I have several animals with a lot going on! Olivia watched my three pets while we were on vacation, a 120lb intimidating looking cane corso, a geriatric, not always so friendly, hyperthyroid cat on medicine and a bearded dragon who eats bugs for breakfast and dinner! Olivia did AMAZING! My pets had such a wonderful time they looked disappointed to see me back from vacation LOL! We will definitely use you again! Thanks again!
Giselle dog sat my 8 year old French bulldog over the July 4th weekend. She took great care of Eddie evident by Eddie's calm demeanor when I got home. She took photos and provided updates. She changed his pee pads, took out the trash and just left my place the way she found it with care to keeps things tidy. I plan to book with her again the rest of the year.
Melissa was great! She answered my request right away. She came over to meet Penny soon after we spoke. I'm convinced Penny adopted her as family right away. Melissa sent daily pictures of morning and evening walks, made sure Penny was eating and pottying properly, and gave her lots of cuddles. I would definitely recommend Melissa to care for your fur baby in your absence.
Once again, Stella has exceeded my expectations in caring for my sweet pup and my home. I was out of the country in an extended stay and Stella’s updates and photos were so reassuring. She is such an incredibly warm and intuitive person, I have full trust in leaving my most cherished little girl with her.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Scottsdale on Rover is $50 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 5,064 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
- 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.
