“John was wonderful. He came and met my shy kitty well ahead of the booking. He took excellent care of her and helped her come out of her shell. He communicated well so I knew my baby girl was in good hands. I think she misses her boyfriend now. I'd happily book him again and highly recommend him to any pet parent.”
About: I’ve taken care of pets for as long as I can remember! I have been a sitter for dogs, cats, and even bearded dragons! I am the ones my friends, family and neighbors call to watch their loved ones, and i am always more than happy to! I am comfortable pet-sitting for any dog at any age (& i have a soft spot for the seniors!!). I am currently working full-time, but my role is hybrid so i am home some days during the week. My schedule is very flexible, and I am available most weeknights and weekends and can absolutely make time during the weekdays. Let’s connect! I live in a spacious apartment in Scottsdale with a roommate who is also a dog lover. I am tucked away in a safe & friendly neighborhood that is very dog-friendly, as people are always out walking their dogs!
“Rachel is a great dog sitter and walker! She does a great job taking care of our dog, who has a big personality and a lot of energy. Always punctual and flexible when possible, which is great.”
“We are a repeat of Heathers. She does a fantastic job with our grumpy cat. He can be intimidating and hiss but she is still so nice to him and treats him so well. Thank you heather!”
“Michelle was amazing and took great care of Zen and Leo while I was away on my business trip. She was very friendly and flexible about times and instructions and was very communicative throughout the whole process. Will definitely be using her again the next time I need to go out of town! 😁”
“Jessica was extremely responsive and took time to connect with me during the visit. This was our puppies first rover visit but it won’t be the last! Thanks, Jessica!”
“Cody did an amazing job taking care of Dakota and made sure she got all of the medication she needed. She seemed happy, healthy, and very well cared for when I got back. He was also great at helping her feel more comfortable and confident around the apartment complex, which I really appreciated. Cody was reliable, attentive, and clearly cares about the pets he works with. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.”
“Here’s a cleaner short version without the specific example: She was a great pet sitter—very responsible and extremely responsive. She went above and beyond with communication and sent many updates and photos, which we really appreciated. It gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were away. We will definitely book her again.”
About: Our family dog recently passed away. We aren’t ready to get our own dog but love taking care of other dogs like they are our own. We’ve been caring for dogs of all sizes and ages, giving medication and helping with house training. We also know it’s important to follow owners instructions I’ve taken care of and rescued every type of animal imaginable from lizards and birds to dogs and goats. My pitbull mix recently passed away, while I’m not ready for a new dog, I would love to care for others. I work from home so I have plenty of time to spend with a furry friend. I have a large fenced in back yard, there is a pool fence around the pool. Plenty of sidewalks and things to sniff in the neighborhood.
“Devinnie is literally the BEST I trust her with my life and obviously with my dog but she is incredibly reliable and my doggie adores her. Wouldn't want anyone else coming by to see my little one!”
“Trisha was perfect! She cleaned up while I was having an emergency and my dog had a fantastic time with her. She was able to fill the request last minute. Best experience ever!”
“They where amazing, if your an anxious pet parent like me it can be hard to travel and to find the right sitter. They are really responsive and communicative with everything. I always got pictures and videos, and it made the trip way more relaxing. They followed the directions every-time and asked the best questions. As well as always being on time. Overall I felt good knowing they were taking care of my cat. This sitter is 100% anxiety/OCD approved🫡 I will be using them again in the future for sure.”
“Returning customer with Bridget! Thank you for the last minute accomodations and taking care of the kitties. Not a worry at all knowing they are in good hands with you 🙂”
“Sophia is just great! Finding a sitter for our pets is always a stressful process and we found Sophia to be reliable and dependable. She was very communicative and provided daily pictures of our fur babies. We will definitely use her services again and highly recommend her to look after your fur babies.”
“Candace is super nice and great with pups! She did an awesome job checking in on our 11 week old Labradoodle. She did 4 visits for us and we will definitely re-book her the next time we need someone!! Highly recommend her! :)”
“Heather was so great with our lab Cali. Cali is shy with new people and she was very patient with that and very attentive to Cali. She brought us much peace of mind with having her come check on Cali during the day. Definitely would use her again!”
About: I grew up with dogs and have taken care of dogs of family members and friends since my late teens. From August 2024 to February 2025, I supervised a friend's senior dog alone after years of drop-in visits and ensured adequate food and water availability, as well as adherence to feeding schedules. I am currently an online student with a flexible schedule. Preferred availability is evenings and weekends, but I can adapt during the day as well. I can watch pets while completing schoolwork. I adhere to instructions and routines, including ensuring the safety of the environment and pets. I also maintain cleanliness, punctuality, and consistent communication with owners.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Scottsdale is $20

Silvana was absolutely wonderful! She was incredibly professional, reliable, and personable from start to finish. It was clear that she genuinely cared about my dog and treated him with so much love and attention. Communication was excellent, and I felt completely comfortable knowing my dog was in such great hands. I would highly recommend Silvana to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and fantastic dog sitter. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!
Where do I start with Shelby? From stellar communication to being a clear animal lover to going above and beyond, she exceeded expectations! My daily updates were thorough, including so many great pictures and details. Really made me miss my little guy a bit less knowing he was getting tons of love and attention!! Run, don’t walk, to booking Shelby!! I will book with her in the future without hesitation. 13/10 !
Another wonderful booking with Nancy! Our kitty was still healing from an injury and I was worried to leave her but knowing Nancy was taking care of her, I knew she would be great!!! Always thankful for all of Nancy’s updates and everything she does that goes above and beyond for us!
Claire has been wonderful with Kira and Chloe! I’m very grateful to have found her, especially after our longtime dog walker relocated to California. Before starting their regular walks, Claire was able to meet with us for a meet-and-greet so she could get to know both pups and their individual personalities, which I really appreciated. From the very beginning, Claire has been reliable, communicative, and attentive to Kira and Chloe’s individual needs. I feel completely comfortable knowing they are in good hands with her, and they are always happy to see her, which says it all. I would highly recommend Claire to anyone looking for a dependable and thoughtful dog walker. Thank you, Claire, for taking such great care of Kira and Chloe!
Anna was absolutely amazing checking in on Sully while I was away! 🥹🤍 She kept me updated, made sure he was happy and comfortable, and gave him lots of love and attention. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was being taken care of by someone I trust. Sully loved her, and I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable and caring to watch their fur baby! 🐾💕
After many years, my longtime pet sitter moved away, and I was nervous about finding someone new to trust with my 8-year-old Bengal kitty, who has some health issues. I recently switched to Katie, and she has been awesome! She’s incredibly thorough and has great attention to detail. I can tell she takes his health needs seriously and genuinely cares about doing things right. It’s clear she’s someone I can trust with my cat, and I’m so glad I found her.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Scottsdale on Rover is $22.2 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 7,574 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Scottsdale. 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 Scottsdale 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 Scottsdale. On Rover:
- 94% 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.
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.
