“Linnea was great! We were gone for two weeks and I could always count on her being at our house at a specific time to look after our two cats. She took excellent care of them. I previously used another sitter from this site and when I would come home one of our cats (who is very loving but also extremely high strung) would be all wound up and "hyper". This time when we came home she was calm and relaxed and ready to snuggle. I will definitely be using Linnea again. She has become my number one choice.”

About: I’ve had dogs all of my life and I have experience taking care of dogs. I currently have two dogs of my own. I know the patience and time it takes to care for pets. Dogs are not just pets, they are family members with their own unique personalities. I am here to help you because I know it takes a community to care for pets. I am currently a stay at home mom so I have plenty of time to play with and take care of your pups. Right now my schedule is pretty flexible. I can let your pup outside for potty breaks, feed them, give them water, or take them on walks. I am here to offer and extra hand when you need it.

About: I believe that pets are more than animals, they are also family. My priority is for them to be comfortable, healthy, well taken care of, and happy. I also have experience with giving medications such as oral, ear drops, and eye drops. Although this may sound a little random, I also speak Spanish for those who have pets that only understand that language. If your pet likes to sleep on the bed, I have no problem with that. I tend to enjoy the company anyway. I can house sit any day of the week/weekend. However, I do have another job that I go to: Monday-Friday. Other than that, I’m usually free. Before I go to work or anywhere, I make sure that I either walk my dogs, or at least take them outside the yard so they can do whatever they need to do. I also like to stay with them an hour or two before leaving, just because I like for them to have a little bit of cuddle or fun time. I also like to take them to the dog park to socialize them and for them to have their exercise. I usually try to keep them in a healthy diet but, if I do feed them human food, I always look up information to make sure if it’s healthy or not because, why should they miss out? They loves car rides as well, so I tend to bring them with me wherever they can. They’re my travel buddies. We also sometimes go chill at the beach, and whenever we do that, I always bring a bag of necessities such as toys, plenty of waters, their water bowls, their leash, and doggy bags. I sometimes bring a couple of their favorite treats or stop by a store to get something we can eat.

About: I have always had a love for animals! When I moved to Florida in 2005 is where I started my first job working at a private owned boarding and grooming facility. High school I was in FFA, I did some grooming and rabbit care! I worked at an animal hospital as a tech for two years recently. I enjoy building bonds with animals and giving them the care they deserve and more! Currently I am available Saturdays and Sundays. I am available for dog walks and drop in visits for potty breaks, play time, and/or feeding times! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my highest priorities. For that reason, all pets are under direct supervision whenever they are in my care, regardless of whether we are in your home or mine. Fresh water is always available, and all meals are supervised to ensure your pet eats safely and comfortably. For walks, I kindly request that dogs wear a properly fitted harness rather than a collar whenever possible. Harnesses provide added safety and better control, helping protect both your pet and me during our outings. To provide the best care possible, please let me know about any behavioral traits or special needs, including: - Temperament and personality - Comfort level with people and other animals - Any fears, anxieties, or triggers - Medical conditions or current medications. For the safety of all pets in my care, I also require that your pet’s rabies vaccination is current. Thank you for trusting me with your furry family member. I look forward to providing them with safe, loving, and attentive care while you’re away.

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with three cats of my own, and I’ve created a comfortable space on my 5-acre property specifically with pet sitting and boarding in mind. Your pet will have plenty of space, attention, playtime, and a cozy home-away-from-home while you’re away. I love getting to know each animal’s individual personality and routine, whether they’re energetic and playful or happiest relaxing and getting lots of attention. I’m also happy to send plenty of photos and updates so you can see how your pet is doing throughout their stay! I have a flexible schedule and spend most of my time at home, so your pet will get plenty of attention throughout their stay. I’m available throughout the week for boarding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and lots of one-on-one attention. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and at home. I’ve set up a separate guest house specifically to provide pets with a comfortable, peaceful home away from home. My property has plenty of outdoor space for supervised walks, playtime, and exploring, while the guest house gives pets their own cozy space to relax indoors. I’ll always follow your pet’s normal routine, feeding instructions, and any special care needs, and I’m happy to provide plenty of photos and updates throughout their stay.

About: I grew up all around pets, both big and small, energetic and chill! Growing up, I had 3 dogs and now I have my own domestic, long-haired cat, as well as a German shepherd mixed dog. When I was 11 years old, I started looking after my neighbors' pets for weeks at a time! This included: -Administrating ear drops -Administrating oral medication -Feeding/hydrating -Walking -Bathing -Playing!!! -And now, plenty of litterbox scooping I've also taken care of blind dogs and many senior dogs who need extra special care and gentleness. My neighbors and family have relied on me many times in the past to take care of their sweet fur babies, and I enjoy every bit of it! I am currently a part-time barista that works early morning shifts, and I will begin college courses in August! I will be taking online classes, so I can continue flexibility with my schedule for your little munchkins. I always allow your pets to approach me first so as not to disturb their peace. I come to them with gentle hands and a smile on my face! I will treat your furry babies like I would my own... With all my love and patience!

About: Throughout my life, I have been fortunate to have dogs as companions, which has instilled in me a deep understanding of animal care. As an ardent animal enthusiast, I have developed a particular fondness for cats, having personally adopted one. When entrusted with the care of others’ animals, I approach my responsibilities with utmost seriousness, treating them with the same compassion and attention I would bestow upon my own. Pet care seamlessly fits into my daily routine. I currently take care of Pets on a part-time basis and have a few regular clients who leave every month for few days to two weeks. In their absence, I take over their pet sitting and housesitting responsibilities. I always enjoy starting the day with a meet-and-greet where I get to meet the parents and the animal. We then go over where all their food is stored. Their favorite spots are often their favorite toys, which are essentially their daily routine. I try to fit myself into that routine as easily as possible to make things easier for both the animal and the parents.

My mission is to give your pets the attention and care they deserve during the day, so you can have complete peace of mind while you’re at work or away. To me, pets are not just animals; they are central, beloved members of our families, and they should be treated with utmost respect and love. What sets me apart is my ability to cater to pets with specific needs, IE: puppy care and training or Senior Care and Medication Admin. My goal is to make life easier for you and happier for your pets. I prioritize transparancy and comfort for you and your furr babies. I will send regular photo updates and give meds, food , water, a walk and playtime or training . I highly encoureage meet and greets beforehand to ensure everyone feels comfortagle and happy. I can give your pet 3 to 4 potty breaks a day depending on what they need. Typically morning, noon , and night. They would be taken out three times around 6-9a , 12-4p, 6-10p again just depends on what your pet is used to. They will be fed at whatever your specified time is. And usually after 6p is all cuddles and play if being boarded in my home. I have a fenced yard, and two friendly dogs of my own. My dogs are crate trained and can be crated if they need to to ensure your pet feels safe in my home.

“Lily’s care is unmatched. The attention to detail and love that she shows our pups and home is amazing. She stayed with all 5 of our doggies while we were away and they couldn’t have been happier (and we couldn’t have been more at ease). Lily is so in tune to all of the pet’s needs and keeps you updated every step of the way. So grateful that Lily is part of our family!!! The furry crew is looking forward to the next time she comes over. We love you! The Martin’s (Moxey, Major, Myka and Myles) & Truffy!”

About: I will love and cherish your pet because they deserve the world. 13 years of my life I’ve had always taken care of my own, friends and family pets. I have always been the one person to be relied on to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I love dogs/ pets in general, I have so much love to give because they have hearts too. I communicate with my clients about my work schedule and it’s pretty easy. I know there’s some pets that have schedules and I’d talk to my manager about it and get the day/days off :)) Each pet has their own bowl. I walk all of my dogs at the same time if fenced and I sit outside and watch to make sure they use the bathroom properly. I give them treats whenever but most importantly when they’re behaving good or if I’m training them a trick. I’m always with my dogs when I have to. I give my dogs water frequently since they stay outside for about 20-30 minutes just so they can have time to use the bathroom and play. I brush them 2-3 times a week, I feed my dogs 2-3 times a day and walk them around 4-5 times a day.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Sun City

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Sun City is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $28 per visit. 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 7,173 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Sun City. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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 Sun City. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% 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 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.
