“I recently had the pleasure of using Maria as an all-day dog sitter, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. She was very friendly and immediately put my mind at ease. Throughout the day, she provided plenty of updates, sharing photos and messages that showed how much fun my dog was having. It was clear that she genuinely cares about animals. I felt completely trusting leaving my pup in her care. I highly recommend Maria to anyone in need of a reliable sitter!”
“This was our first time using an in-home dog sitter after losing our previous dog unexpectedly at a boarding facility, so we were understandably very hesitant. From the moment we met Vickie, she immediately put us at ease and gave us the confidence to leave our new pup at home while we were away. Vickie went above and beyond by visiting a few times before our trip to help our pup feel comfortable with her in our home. While we were gone, she kept us updated with daily photos, which meant so much to us, and she even took the time to water our garden. We came home to a happy, healthy pup and a house in perfect condition. We’re so grateful for the care and attention Vickie provided and would absolutely love to work with her again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.”
“She was the best. She stayed all weekend at our home. Super sweet and reliable. I received lots of updates, videos and pictures. Choose her, and you will not be disappointed!!!”
About: What sets me apart is the trust I've built with my clients. Many are repeat clients who feel comfortable leaving their pets in my care, even for vacations lasting over a month long. I'm reliable, highly responsive, and believe communication is key. I'll keep you updated with photos and messages while following your pet's routine to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. From tiny cats to large dogs, I treat every animal as if they were my own and every home with the utmost respect, so you can enjoy your time away with complete peace of mind. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide pets with plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day rather than just quick check-ins. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company, I enjoy making sure each pet feels comfortable and cared for. As a pet owner myself, I understand the importance of consistency and sticking to your pet's normal routine. I always strive to make them feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I believe pets are happiest when they can stick to their normal routine. During overnight stays, I provide full care including feeding, fresh water, walks, potty breaks, playtime, cuddles, and any medications or special instructions if needed.
“Michael was great. Hank had a little trauma when he witnessed his brother Rottie pass away and gets a little anxious on occasion when we leave but Michael took great care of him. He walked him and was super attentive to my texts and Hank seemed to really like him. I received daily texts and photos/videos which kept me from being sad and missing Hank :). I feel confident that we will use Michael again,”
“Kerrie is awesome! She takes such good care of our boys - and they are BIG (two Newfoundland dogs). I would recommend her to anyone, however, once you have her in your home, I might not get to as often because she will be booked up! I recommend Kerrie 100% and believe our dogs are safe and in good hands with her.”
About: I have over 3 years of experience caring for dogs and have worked as a pet sitter for three different families. During that time, I cared for dogs with different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. My responsibilities included feeding, providing companionship, administering basic care, and following each family’s specific routines and instructions. I am a college student with a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate quality time to the pets I care for. I truly enjoy being around dogs and love spending time walking, playing, and giving them the attention they deserve. I always make sure to follow each pet’s routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, and routines. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect both your home and your pet’s routine to help them feel comfortable and relaxed. I keep the environment clean, provide fresh water, monitor their well-being, and give them attention. I believe clear communication is essential, so I provide regular updates and photos throughout each visit.
“This is the second time we have used Richard to sit with Duke. Duke can be very anxious when left with someone other than my wife and myself but with patients Richard was able to get him to calm down and finally relax. We highly recommend Richard and we plan to use him again.”
“Kaelyn was an absolute professional. Took an 8 day trip to the east coast and I was anxiety ridden about dog care. Kaelyn came in clutch. She eased my anxiety and the dogs fell in love with her. She was prompt and diligent. Not only were the dogs taken very well care of, she even took out the trash on trash day. I can’t rave enough about her and we will definitely rebooked Kaelyn in the future.”
About: With over 6+ years of experience in animal care, I have developed strong skills in providing reliable and compassionate dog and cat sitting services. I have cared for pets of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments, ensuring they are safe, comfortable, and well-attended to while their owners are away. My responsibilities have included feeding, walking, administering basic care, cleaning up after pets, and maintaining their daily routines. I am attentive to each animal’s individual needs and behavior, and I prioritize their well-being, comfort, and happiness at all times. Pet care fits well into my daily routine as an online college student because my school schedule is flexible and allows me to plan my time around responsibilities. Since I complete coursework from home, I’m able to check on pets throughout the day, whether that’s feeding them, cleaning litter boxes, or giving them attention and playtime between classes or assignments. I’m good at managing my time, so I can balance schoolwork while still making sure pets are cared for consistently and on schedule. Being at home often also means I can provide reliable care and quick attention when needed. In my home or a client’s home, I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I make sure they are fed on schedule with the correct portions, their water is always fresh, and their litter box or living area is kept clean. I also spend time interacting with them through play, petting, or simply being present, depending on their personality and comfort level. I pay attention to their behavior so I can notice if anything seems off or if they need extra care. In a client’s home, I also make sure to respect their space, follow all instructions carefully, and keep everything clean and organized while ensuring their pet feels safe and cared for in their familiar environment.
About: I have 10 years of experience showing, training, grooming, and rescuing. From processing adoptions, to scrubbing kennels, to placing IV catheters, to showing dogs to their championships, I have done it all. I bring a well rounded, quality of life centered approach to pet care, putting the well-being of the animal first. I am a part time remote student, so my schedule is largely open. I am available all hours of the day to fit your pet care needs. 1. Leash on outside. Whether it’s a 6ft handheld leash or a 50ft long line, your pet will be tethered at all times outdoors to ensure we do not lose them. 2. I am highly trained in force free handling as well as defensive handling should things go south. 3. I utilize a least-intrusive-minimally-aversive handling technique to create the most positive experience for your pet and to facilitate trust.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sun City
Kaelyn did a fantastic job! We searched a long time to find someone we felt comfortable with to stay in our home and care for our puppy. It was such huge a relief to find Kaelyn! I was never worried during my vacation because I knew everything was in good hands! We’ll definitely be booking again.
Portia was amazing. She watched both my Frenchies at my home. My normal dog sitter was unfortunately not available. But Portia put me at ease, we did a meet and greet prior. She communicated with me the entire time and sent pictures of my boys throughout my trip. She also left my home in perfect condition. I would definitely recommend her and use her again.
Nickie was fantastic. She kept us well informed with regular updates and plenty of photos, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. She was proactive in asking questions to ensure she understood everything clearly and always responded promptly when we reached out. Our dogs were happy, well cared for, and pleasantly tired when we returned—clear signs they were kept active and engaged. She paid close attention to their needs and followed all of our instructions carefully. Overall, it was a smooth, positive experience, and we would absolutely work with her again.
This is the second time we have used Richard to sit with Duke. Duke can be very anxious when left with someone other than my wife and myself but with patients Richard was able to get him to calm down and finally relax. We highly recommend Richard and we plan to use him again.

FAQs for House Sitting - Sun City
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Sun City on Rover is $42.8 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 3,589 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.
