“This was the first time I chose Jean to watch Winston and I am so glad I found her on the Rover app. She was wonderful!! Sent my pictures and videos of them on walks, playing and resting :). It reassured me that Winston was in very good hands and was happy. Jean is responsible, responsive, loving to my pet, and respectful of my home. I would highly recommend.”
“Kalin did such a great job watching our dogs again. We added a new dog to the pack and there were no issues. Our dogs mean the world to us and it’s great to not worry about them knowing they are in great hands with Kalin!”
“This was my first experience having someone pet sit for me; I’m so impressed with how Cassandra cared for our fur babies! She sent me photos kept me updated on how the weekend was going and truly made me feel comfortable about her caring for our babies! Thank you isn’t enough but WE ARE TRULY GRATEFUL for her love of pets and genuine caring attitude of of dogs and our home!!!! We are excited about having the opportunity in the future if using her services!!”
“Daela was great with our 2 dogs & 2 cats. She stayed with them at our house for a week while we were away & they were happy & healthy when we got home! She was easy to get ahold of the entire time we were away & sent daily updates with pictures.”
“We had to book very last minute for a funeral, and Pei-Wen was extremely accommodating. She communicated well and often, sent lots of great photos, and left our home better than when we left it. Pei-Wen went above and beyond what we asked for. She gave us a lot of peace of mind in a very hectic time and our animals were well loved and cared for.”
“Monica was GREAT! She showed up a few minutes early which I appreciated since it was our first meeting. She was organized and listened (without judgment) about my quirky Tibetan Terrier who has separation anxiety. She sent photos during the short visit, which wasn’t really necessary but showed her diligence and caring. Will definitely ask her back!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs from time to time. Any point a family member or friend needed their dog to be taken care of, I was their choice. First experience was when I was 12. Athletic Runner background: 4+ of running experience, long distance Am able to have pets exercise by running with them when we go out on simple walks. Be able to match their explosive energy when wanting to go out and play. Currently working part-time, usually known to be scheduled for the end of the week and during the weekend. Busier around holidays and or events. More of a night owl, my activities start to ramp up around late evening, some among with exercise. I’ll make sure to keep them company when they desire. Always checking to see if they’re good on food and water. If they’re wanting to play, I can always make time and stay. Always making sure they’re satisfied when coming back from a walk / run. As they tend to last longer with my extensive running experience.
“Adrian was great with my 12 year old girl. Many pics and good amount of communication. He left the house in perfect condition, I could barely tell he was even there. Will use his services when needed again.”
“Tonya is amazing. My shy dog Lillie loved her from the minute they met. Tonya sent pictures regularly and my cat and dog looked happy and comfortable. I was able to enjoy my trip better without having to worry.”
“She is fantastic! Trustworthy in my home and with our animals. She went above and beyond with the pictures and videos. We were truly able to enjoy ourselves while on vacation knowing our animals were well taken care of. Highly recommend! We will book with her again!”
“I can't say enough good things about Charis! She watched my two large, active dogs while I was away, and I was beyond impressed. From the moment I met her, I knew my pups were in great hands. She was clean, interactive, and genuinely engaged with them, making sure they got plenty of exercise and playtime. Throughout my trip, she kept me informed with updates and photos, which put my mind at ease. It’s clear she has a real passion for animals. I came home to happy, well-cared-for dogs, and I couldn’t be more grateful. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter! Thank you, Charis!”
“Book Leslie for your next sitter! I was super nervous about traveling abroad to get married and leave our fur kids behind, but Leslie gave constant updates with pictures and put my husband and me at ease. Truly couldn’t be more thankful for her and can’t wait to happily rebook her in the future for our next adventure!”
“I have kittens, older cats, and huskies, Audra did great with them! She updated me daily with how they were doing as well as pictures. I really appreciate her and would definitely recommend her!”
“Angela has been fantastic, so patient with my anxious rescue dog. She handled some difficult situations professionally and kindly. She was great about communicating my pets’ needs, sending updates and pictures. My cat warmed up to her immediately. It was so comforting to feel I was leaving my pets in such reliable hands.”
“We had a great experience with our dog/house sitter Chuck. He spent a lot of time interacting with the dogs and sent us daily updates and photos to help give us peace of mind while we were away. Our dogs were happy and appeared well cared for when we got home. The house was also clean and well taken care of. We would definitely use Chuck again and recommend him to others!”
“We think she is amazing!!! Huge thank you to Sue for taking such wonderful care of our two fur babies, all the sweet updates and massive smiles in each picture! She wore them out every day with play time, spoiled them and left our house spotless! Followed our established routines seamlessly, and we returned to two very happy, content and relaxed pups! We will definitely be booking her again for our next pup staycation while we are out of town!”
About: I worked in boarding so I have experience caring for all different breeds, ages, special needs, and attitudes of dogs. I also have had 6 dogs total, so I am used to the dog life! I am available anytime! I am very flexible, although afternoons and evenings would be preferred, but both weekends and weekdays are not a problem at all. I am easily accomodating of all preferences for your dogs. Any special diets or playtime schedules are welcome. Every dog is different so just let me know! My dogs get walked 3 times a day and are used to going to the park or even just running around the backyard.
About: I was in veterinary assistant school from Junior to Senior year of high-school, earning my accredited veterinary assistant certificate. I cared for animals within my schools care and had to follows schedules and administer medication when applicable. I do want to emphasize that assisting is BARE MINIMUM veterinary information so I will not be able to diagnose/prognose any animals. I have pet sit for my sister and my friend while they are away on vacation, providing daily pictures along with that. I'm currently working a part-time job that has too many workers. I'm seeking another job that I know I will be efficient and good at while also enjoying in the mean time. I have plenty of times during my weeks and am willing and able to hangout with your pets for majority of my days :) Due to my short work schedule, I am able to provide care for your animal for majority of the day (depending on which days I work). Thankfully, I am never working a full day at my job so your pet will never be left alone for more than a couple hours during the day.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Sun City is $50

We used Maddie to watch our pup over this past weekend and we loved her! She was so good at sending us pictures, videos and updates on Lani to ensure that we felt comfortable with knowing that our girl was doing well. Thank you Maddie for the care that you gave to Lani.
We enjoyed our overseas trip that much more because we knew our three “puppies” were in Daela’s competent and loving hands. Her daily photos brought us smiles and giggles. For sure we will book again should the need arise. Thanks from the three “Cavies” and parents Jan & Charlie
Vanessa was so great with my three dogs…she made sure that their feeding and medication schedule was followed, she took extra care with my one dog who was timid and afraid, and she left my house as clean as it was before my trip. I will definitely be contacting her again for our next trip!
Sydney watched our male pitbull Jax while we were away at a wedding. Initially, we had a miscommunication about the schedule but Sydney remedied the situation and everything went smoothly after it was figured out. She was communicative and gave nice updates with pictures. She left our house clean and also took out the trash.
Lauren has been a loving, caring and devote sitter for my three fur babies, she has been a excited communicator and she has gone above and beyond to make our fur babies comfortable as possible while we were gone. Lauren provided photos and updates which is very appreciative. Our flight was delayed and she reached out to stay a little longer which we appreciate knowing our babies were looked after by their favorite hooman :D definitely highly recommended and looking forward to booking with her in the future. Thank you Lauren <3
Sydney is an unbelieve blessing. We love out of state, a parent went into hospital, and she was amazing navigating getting into the home, navigating food and sanitary issues for quite a few cats over a lengthy period. Compassionate, detailed and a wonderful communicator.
Emily was wonderful with our dogs, especially for it being her first time watching them. She was attentive, caring, and made sure they were comfortable and well taken care of. We appreciated her communication and felt at ease knowing our dogs were in good hands. We would absolutely book with Emily again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.
We are so grateful for Alyssa! We can fully trust her not only with our precious Goose, but also with our home. She is extremely reliable, gentle, and compassionate—always treating Goose as if he were her own. It’s clear she understands that our fur babies are truly our children, and that kind of care means everything to us. I love receiving her photo updates and little check-ins while we’re away; they always bring us peace of mind. Alyssa completely eliminated our nerves and worries, and we couldn’t recommend her highly enough. Thank you, Alyssa, for being such a wonderful caregiver!

FAQs for House Sitting - Sun City
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Sun City on Rover is $48.15 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 4,033 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Sun City. 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 Sun City 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 Sun City 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 Sun City 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.

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.
