“Eddie adores Daela. I came home to find them cuddled up together. I knew as soon as I met her that I had found the right sitter. I never had a moment of worry about Eddie when I was on vacation. I will definitely use her again.”
“Kalin went above and beyond for my pets! I knew without a doubt they were loved and very well taken care of. Her updates were amazing and she sent so many great videos and photos.”
“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!”
“Cassandra is fantastic! On time, great communication, regular updates, and our pup was well cared for. We could tell from our initial meet and greet that she was exactly what we were looking for. Highly recommend and we will be a repeat customer for sure!”
“Makena was awesome. My pups were well taken care of and my home was left better than she found it! She looked after my pups during a long road trip and made sure to give updates throughout so that I had one less thing to worry about. I would definitely recommend her if you are looking for someone to care for your pets and/or home.”
“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.”
About: I have owned and cared for many animals since I was a kid and have professionally cared for animals for 3 years. I currently have 3 feline fur babies aged 12, 10, and 3 years old. One is special needs. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, rodents, reptiles, and birds. This includes baby, special needs, and elderly animals of all sorts. Whatever needs your pets have, I can handle! I do have a semi-part time job as a server at a restaurant. I work 5-8 hour shifts about 25-35 hours a week. I work between the hours of 11am-9pm. I'm willing to work out scheduling with you and figure out how to best meet your pets needs! I cannot care for animals in my home due to owning 3 fur babies of my own and wouldn't want to stress them or your animals out. However I am able to come to your home or take them out to a park any time you need including overnights!
“Corissa was amazing! She watched my dog and cat for a weekend while I was out of town and I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter. My dog is very timid and scared of anyone she doesn’t know and she ended up loving Corissa. I couldn’t t be happier with her services! Will definitely be booking with her again.”
“He does a great job. Always sends me pics twice a day, always plays with my pups and they always seem happy when I get home. Would definitely recommend him.”
“This is the 2nd time that we have had Charis watch our dogs. One of our dogs has really high anxiety. Charis was really great with him. She was patient and let him get used to her in his own time. He very quickly warmed up to her. She is really good about sending updates and pictures and responds quickly to messages. I will absolutely be using her again. She also left the house immaculate! Even changed the sheets, which was one less thing we had to worry about since we got home so late at night. Thank you, Charis!!”
“Seriously Pei-Wen is like the sweetest person alive! While our situation was less than ideal with cancelled flights, then rebooked middle of the night flights, and a rather large dog that was scared of her almost the entire time, she did amazing. She stuck the week out and let me spend time with my family. I came home to happy dogs, a clean house, and feeling refreshed from being able to get away. Grateful for her and Julius.”
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.
“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.”
“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!”
“Chuck was awesome with our dogs. He is very easy to work with too. We had to change our reservation a few times due to unexpected issues and he was very accommodating. Chuck kept in contact with us during our trip. Letting us know how the dogs were doing. Even sent a picture of them in his lap. They love him. We will be using him for all future trips. Thank you Chuck for being so kind and gentle with our babies.”
“Jazmine did a remarkable with the dogs during her stay and was very communicative when it came to updates and any questions she had (which i appreciate very much)! She was very understanding of my dogs needs and went above and beyond in making sure they were cared for. Would definitely recommend and hire again!”
“Nikki is THE best!!! Not only does she care for our dogs, but she always goes above and beyond with caring for our home too!! She's amazing and I recommend her to everyone. Our 3 dogs absolutely love her and we can leave stress free knowing out pups are in the best hands!!! THANK YOU NIKKI!!!”
“Susan was absolutely amazing! I wish I could rate her 11/10!! She stayed with my dogs as I asked and gave them lots of love and attention. I never worried once while we were on our trip. She sent daily videos and pictures and even helped water my flowers for me. Susan was prompt and had great communication. I can’t wait to use her services some more and so grateful to have found her!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sun City
Madelynn was fantastic! We received multiple daily updates with videos and or pictures. It was very clear how much she loved and took care of our pup Zeus. Addition all, Zeus clearly enjoyed her too! Our home was spotless when we got back and she even cleaned the sheets. We cant wait to use Madelynn again!
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!
Kalin manages our household of furry friends which now includes an older paralyzed bunny, a cat with challenging behavioral issues, multiple animals on several medicines throughout the day, and also a cat who had just recently undergone a dental procedure and is on a specific diet. Everyone is completely calm and relaxed when we come back home and it's obvious that the animals trust her completely. We have total confidence in her and it's a great peace of mind knowing she's there to keep everyone safe when we're out of town.
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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sun City. On Rover:
- 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.
