“Devinnie was amazing! So communicative, sent pictures and videos, and reassured us the whole time that our baby was doing well. We will definitely be booking again the next time we need a dog sitter!”
“Candace is a dream of a dog- and house-sitter! She loves Sandy as if she is her own dog, and she goes above and beyond when it comes to caring for her and taking care of my house and my plants. I’m super grateful and highly recommend Candace for any kind of pet care!”
“Rae was amazing. She was so wonderful with our dogs and went above and beyond our expectations. She was a great communicator and sent lots of pictures. I would highly recommend Rae to anyone who wants their pet loved and spoiled!”
“Jamie was available when we needed a last minute sitter and even agreed to come meet our dog in person same day. Our dog was sick with pneumonia but we needed to leave town for a few days due to a death in the family and she helped administer his medication and stay in our home due to him being possibly contagious. She seems very knowledgeable about animal care and we were very thankful she watched our furbaby.”
“Bri is an excellent person who I recommend for sure to my friends for pet sitting. My pet was very happy while she was pet sitting. Bri took good care of my pet in my absence and am very satisfied with her service. Thanks to Rover for providing us such excellent pet sitters.”
“Marianne has watched our house & pups twice now! She is a great pup sitter as well as house sitter. We will continue to use Marianne when we are out of town!”
“Fabulous. Patrick stayed at my house with my very fireworks-averse pups while I worked new years eve and was a total life saver. He was very communicative every step of the way and made sure they were well loved and cared for. He sent pictures and updates throughout the night and left the house exactly as he found it. Both my cat and dog are generally very hateful towards strangers and men, but both of them loved him immediately. Huge green flag. Will definitely be repeat customers.”
“Mishka (Mykhailo) became friends easily with my two big doggies. They do not usually warm up to new people, but they were licking his arms and hands!!! Mishka is very laid back and not pushy with them. He listened to all the habits I told him about the dogs - and there were many!--and followed instructions.When he heard thunder, he remembered about Tiana's fears and he went to her and she slept beside him. He played with Trey in the yard, which won trey's heart (trey is an athlete). I would definitely”
“Eileen was wonderful with our pups. She gave me updates and pics all day. I knew they were in good hands. I will definitely be a repeat client. Thanks Eileen for the help and great service.”
“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.”
“Our dogs LOVE Stella. I noticed when she walked in that they weren't even sad I was leaving. She does a wonderful job giving them lots of attention. She takes them on a daily walks and sends tons of pics and updates along the way. If you want someone your dogs will truly love and make you not worry while you're away- I would highly recommend Stella.”
“Sam was amazing! All three of our dogs developed a special relationship while being house sat. Not only did she provide pictures and updates while we were away, but she went the extra mile and made sure each one of our dogs received love and attention.”
“Heather was very communicative and friendly! I had a bit of a difficult situation with a new kitten in the mix and she handled it very well. It’s hard to find someone trustworthy so I’m happy I found her to watch my babies over the weekend.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Scottsdale
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
This was my first time ever leaving my sweet girl with a stranger. I was very nervous but Tinsel was no stranger and a quick friend to our little pup. It was obvious that Tinsel attended to her every need, kept her busy and active through lots of play and walks. She also took some of the best photos. Tinsel was great with communication and totally adaptable. I think my dog has a new bestie! Thank you Tinsel, I will deifinitely book you again.
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.
My Leo almost seemed disappointed when I opened the door and it was me, not Will. Will was very responsive, left our home immaculate, kept Leo engaged and tired from playing as he loves. We'll be seeking Will in the future when we travel... stress-free with his care and thoughtfulness.
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!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Scottsdale on Rover is $49.95 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 5,116 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.

- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% 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.
