“Kayla was professional, punctual and kept me updated on how my pups were doing thrpughput the day. I appreciated her updated and accurate availability amd special care for my giant babies. I will absolutely book her again.”
“Kat was wonderful. I could tell my dogs were at ease around her, and she sent updates every day. My home was exactly how I left it, which was so nice to come back to. She's so chill and understanding, and took notes as I overexplained everything.”
“This is our second time having Kalin come to take care of Dexter and as soon as she came in, he greeted her happily and didn’t cry once as the whole fam left (and he has bad separation anxiety!!). That told us everything. Dogs know who the good eggs are. We are having her come again this Friday!”

“Ryan was an exceptional house and pet sitter for my four-day trip. He provided absolute peace of mind by sending regular photo updates of my dog, Sarge, and my two cats, Charlie and Max. The animals were clearly very comfortable and relaxed with him. Ryan is incredibly adaptable and low-maintenance and very respectful of my home. He is extremely conscientious, communicated clearly about schedule details, and made sure the house was completely secure before leaving. I returned to a house in perfect condition and happy animals. I highly recommend Ryan. My animals really warmed up to him, and I will definitely be reaching out to him for future trips.”

I felt completely at ease knowing Daisey was in such caring hands. I would definitely recommend Sydney and will happily have her care for Daisey again.”
“This is the second time Baylee has watched our pup, Zeus, and we couldn't be happier! She sent daily photos and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while my husband and I were away for a week. Baylee took great care of Zeus and also looked after our home. We came back to a clean house and a happy, well cared for dog. We highly recommend Baylee and will definitely book with her again!”
“Annabella did an awesome job housesitting while I was away. She kept Phoebe engaged, sent pictures daily and even printed copies of photos for me. Upon my arrival home, Phoebe was happy and well taken care of. Thanks so much Annabella, definitely appreciate your help.”
“We seriously couldn’t have asked for a better experience! She took such amazing care of our boys while we were away and made us feel so comfortable knowing they were in good hands. It’s always hard leaving them behind, but she made the whole experience so easy and gave us so much peace of mind. You can tell she genuinely cares and loves what she does, which means so much to us! We’re so thankful we found her and will definitely be reaching out to her again anytime we need someone to watch our boys. Couldn’t recommend her enough! ❤️”
About: I had always loved spending time and taking care of dogs since I was little. I’d love taking care of every house pet we owned. My family members and family friend would always put trust in me to take care of their fur baby’s. I always been passionate about dogs. Especially my stinky baby lee. I am currently attending college, and this would be my second job. I have a busy schedule, but I am willing to work around my classes and make sure I provide consistent and reliable care for the pets. I grew up around all different types of animals, so I’ve always understood how important it is to make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I make sure they are in a safe environment, have everything they need, and receive the attention and patience they deserve. I know every pet is different, and I think it’s important to treat them with love and care.
About: I've been surrounded by animals my whole life and have always felt a strong connection with them. I grew up caring for dogs, cats, and small animals, and now I’ve turned that lifelong love into hands-on experience working in professional pet care. Whether it’s a playful puppy full of energy or a senior dog who needs a little extra patience and comfort, I know how to adapt to each pet’s unique personality and needs. I have experience with daily walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding, administering oral medications, and keeping pets comfortable in their own homes. I’m also very attentive to animal body language and behavior, which helps me provide safe, loving care that pets and their people trust. I'm currently fully available day or night and excited to dedicate my time to caring for pets—your pet’s needs will always be my top priority. I respect your home and routine, ensuring pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow instructions carefully and always prioritize your pet’s happiness, health, and well-being.
About: I love dogs. I prefer smaller to medium dogs. I like to go on walks, play and sit comfy on the couch with them. I’m not a fan of puppies who are still learning potty training and not to chew I work my regular job anywhere from 30-40 hours a week. I control my schedule, during the hours between 7am and 10 pm, which is helpful. I take weekends off but I am also able to take weekdays off. I can be available to step away from work pretty much at any time needed. I don’t have any other responsibilities, other than your buddy. I am very respectful and will follow all the directions you ask of me and I will make sure I’m asking questions to make everything clear.
“Lori is great with my dogs and was really flexible with our schedule. I was expecting at the time of making the appointment and could not give her an exact date, but she was able to adjust as needed when I had to go the hospital. Thank you again.”
About: I have years of experience caring for pets of all ages and breeds! I am animal lover who is also patient with pets that can be shy at first. I love going for walks and going to parks with pups that are into that and I'm also good for a snuggle with the older pets. I'm very clean, reliable and trustworthy as a house guest. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies!! I work a part-time job in Surprise Thursday-Saturday. My shifts are typically only 5-6 hours long, so I'm very available to care for your fur babies! My other job is also part time and is remote so I am home with my computer much of the time. I'm very outdoorsy so spending time in the yard, going for walks and playing at the park is almost as much fun for me as it is for your pup! My dog, that has passed away, was a runner so I understand the importance of utilizeing a good leash and making sure all gates and doors are secured properly.
“Thanks so much Laura for taking good care of Phoebe while I was away. I really appreciate your coordinating with Issy with walk times and pop-in’s. It’s a great feeling to be able to take vacation knowing that Phoebe’s in good hands. We will see you next time🤗”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sun City
I couldn’t have been happier with the care she gave Tucker! She sent several photos and detailed updates a few times a day, and she was always very responsive. Our house looked exactly as we left it when we returned. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Tucker was in such good hands, and we would happily book her again!
Kaela was amazing. This was our first time using Rover and she put us at ease right away. Our initial introduction meeting to the dogs went great. She was right on time and very professional. When we were gone, Kaela sent us pictures of the dogs which always makes you feel better when missing them! The house was clean when Kaela left and the dogs really acclimated well to her. Highly recommend!
Sydney was amazing with our cavapoo! He tends to have anxiety when he knows we are leaving and she was able to navigate it brilliantly which made us feel more at ease too. She communicates well and sends pictures daily. Very professional. I highly recommend her.
Sydney did an excellent job caring for our pets and keeping our home tidy (it can be hard sometimes with so many animals in the house)! We have a big crew and she managed effortlessly and kept us updated along the way. I would recommend her to anyone and will love to use her services again in the future!
Jean is a wonderful pet sitter! She cared for my 5 lb Yorkie, Mindy, in our home. Mindy LOVES Jean. I could tell from the numerous pictures she took, including doggie kisses. Jean was in communication with me daily which is so important to this doggie momma. She cared for our home like it was her own. Thank you, Jean, for the great service you provided. I will definitely be hiring her again. 💗
Daela has a big heart for animals! She is loving, responsible, and thoughtful. She took great care of our little 2 year old dog, who we left for the first time in her life. Our dog had anxiety and was so uncertain at first. Daela was patient, giving Goldie her space while always being available to her. I would highly recommend her!
We couldn't have asked for a better pet and house sitter! She stayed in our home for two weeks while caring for our dog, Kona, and gave us complete peace of mind the entire time. She sent constant photo updates, which made being away so much easier, and it was obvious from every picture how happy and well cared for Kona was. She truly went above and beyond. Not only did she make sure Kona was well-fed and even picked up more food for him when he needed it, but she also took wonderful care of his skin (bulldogs can be difficult!) and overall well-being. When we came home, Kona was happy, healthy, and clearly loved. She also took exceptional care of our home. It was absolutely spotless when we returned, and she even took care of extra household tasks like outdoor cleanup and taking out the trash. On top of all that, she left us thoughtful goodies, which was such a sweet surprise. She is reliable, communicative, caring, and incredibly thoughtful. We trust her completely and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets and home. We will absolutely be booking her again!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Sun City is $54 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $79 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 3,968 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.

- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
