“Monica was absolutely fantastic! Our pups loved having her there, especially our dog who is terrified of fireworks. Knowing they were safe, comfortable, and well cared for gave us so much peace of mind. We will definitely be using Monica again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thank you, Monica! ❤️”
“Charles is responsible, professional and very easy to get along with, both for me and my dogs, who love him! I was very happy with his services and would love to book Charles again when I travel again.”
“Dina was a great dog & house sitter. She was able to accommodate our pet's walking schedule and left our home in perfect condition. I would highly recommend her and hope that she will be available for future bookings.”
“Liz did an amazing job housesitting for our two dogs. She was thorough, attentive, and very easy to communicate with throughout our trip. It was clear that she genuinely cared about our dogs and made sure they were comfortable and well cared for. We felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands, and we’ve already booked her again for our next trip.”
“Tonya T was amazing! It was her first time sitting with our 1 year old Jingles and she was very engaged in keeping Jingles busy and happy. He loved her. She texted us about what they were doing and sent pictures and videos. We will definitely rebook her!”
“Maggie loved having Ashley stay with her while we were out of town. Ashley was easy to communicate and plan with and very flexible when we needed to make adjustments at the very end. Maggie got awesome time outside in the yard, on walks in the neighborhood, and with Ashley in the house. Highly recommend Ashley to anyone in need of a great dog sitter.”
About: My family has owned dogs and cats for my entire life. Since as early as I remember I've helped care for, watch, feed, play with, and walk dogs and cats. Within the last few years, I started officially dog sitting. And within the last year I began cat sitting. I'm never away from home for more than 5 hours at a time, typically only 2 or 3 on weekdays and 5 on weekends. (please note that my preferred name is Layla) I'm a full time student, but my classes are online. I also work part time, but I will never be gone for more than 5 hours at a time. Typically during the weekdays I'm only gone 2-3 hours if any. I am always attentive and careful with any animal. I am more than willing to go on multiple walks and play with your pets to help them burn off energy. I also enjoy playing mind stimulating games with pets, especially dogs. For example, I will hide treats around the house and then send the dog to "hunt" for them.
“Laura consistently goes above and beyond. We had a sick pet and she took care of him like he was her own. Very appreciative of all the communication and love she shows.”
“Dogs are at ease no huge anxiety when we returned whick is great to see. I believe they were very loved while we were away. House was tidy. Awesome would definitely book Celynda again”
“We really appreciated the care our Rover sitter gave our two dogs while we were away overnight. He was available on short notice, responded promptly, and came by for a meet-and-greet very soon afterward, which we really appreciated. He communicated well throughout the stay and sent lots of pictures, giving us peace of mind while we were away. I had told him it was completely fine if he skipped our dogs' morning walk since we were only gone for one day, but he took them anyway, and I truly appreciated the extra effort. After we had already booked, I also asked if he could turn our leopard geckos' lights on and off, and he was happy to help with that as well. Most importantly, our two pups mean the world to us, so knowing they were well cared for gave us great peace of mind. They are an important part of our family, and we're very grateful for the excellent care and attention they received. Thank you, Jonathan!”
About: I share my home with 2 cats (Rascal and Maggie). I am a natural caregiver and nurturer and love spending time with animals through play, walks, and cuddles. I have loads of experience caring for animals and pet sitting. I have taken care of animals of all ages and energy levels since I was a teenager. I have experience in giving medications and am comfortable meeting the individual needs of your fur babies. I can't wait to meet you and make some furry friends! I hope to hear from you soon! I do work with children during the weekdays so will not have access have access to my phone during those hours. I’ll be sure to contact you as soon as I’m able! 😊 My weekends are dedicated to being out and about, spending time with fluffy friends as they bring me so much joy. I’m flexible and can match your pet’s schedule and keep their typical routine. I have and care for two wonderfully sweet and elderly cats, one of which needs a special diet and regular medication. Both dogs and cats require lots of love, attention and play time. Dogs of course need and deserve their walks and a chance to investigate smells. 😊
“Heather was great with our pups, who can be a bit challenging at first. We really appreciated her communication and picture updates. We will definitely be using her again in the future!”
About: current pets: 2 hermit crabs (5yrs), frenchie mix rescue (1yr) previous: dogs - newfie, black lab, husky, chihuahua. cats - several, mostly of stray lineage i have experience giving general meds to cats and dogs ie pills, eye drops, even with the most finicky of cats! not afraid of getting scratched either, it happens especially with meds. Your pets’ needs will always be met under my care and I am fully transparent with my pricing & tech savvy; if you have any questions during the booking or issues with the Rover system, never hesitate to ask questions about any of the aforementioned topics! *if you are 20+ miles round trip from my home (10 miles away) a service fee of 15 will be added to the booking upon initial request* I am typically fully available on weekends as I am a cleaning lady during Mon-Fri 8am-5pm, let me know if you are interested in cleaning services as well! I also respond very quickly most of the time, especially if I have/am around your pet (unless we are becoming best buds and we are distracted) Rover card always includes pictures. I usually message an ETA before I arrive in case of alarm systems or similar. When in your home, I follow the care plan and instructions given to a T and ask questions if necessary/applicable, door is always locked behind me upon entering. Check for messes, follow routine; my only deviation I typically do is adding (filtered, and if possible) water to the pets food, dehydration is very common in AZ. And most pets love it, highly recommend it! I also clean bowls, take out trash, and wipe down countertops. Double check all doors and windows are secure/not broken and that AC is working before locking up and heading out.
“Kelly is great! She was great with the pups and they loved her. She is truely a animal lover. I would highly recommend Kelly if you need someone to watch your furry family members.”
“Annabella did a great job taking care of our dog! Good communication, sent lots of photos and hung out with her giving her lots of care and attention. Definitely recommend!”
About: I’ve had a dog all my life. I have helped watch over my aunts family’s dog when they are out of town. I have experience with all kinds of dogs! I personally have a small dog, a Maltipoo Terrier, but other family members have mediums sized and big dogs as well! I love taking my dog on walks and playing with her. I am comfortable around all dogs and am willing to adapt and learn how to best take care of your animal! I am currently working a part-time job and am looking to make some extra money and play with animals, so I have enough time for dog walking, house sitting, and house calls! I also have 1 in-person class at college at the moment from 11:30am-12:45pm. I am available most nights for house sitting and walking or just drop ins! I get my work schedule 2 weeks in advance so my availability might change depending on the day! I have my own leash so i can take them out on walks and out to play! I also have access to many toys and I love to just sit down a play with or cuddle with them!
“Charis was great! One of our dogs is very anxious and scared of everyone and everything, but this didn’t phase her. She was patient with him and soon he warmed right up to her. Would definitely have her back.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Sun City West is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sun City West
Roger is truly a dog lover and exceptional caregiver. He is compassionate, dependable, and understands how stressful it is for dog owners to entrust their care to someone new. After meeting Roger you will feel like your dog has been left with a trusted family member rather than a stranger. Daily photos and texts will keep you updated and all communication is answered promptly. Give Roger a try, you (and your dog!) will be glad you did!
We were honestly pretty nervous about using a dog sitter for the first time, especially since our house was a bit of a disaster before our weekend trip to Universal Studios. From the moment we met her, though, she made us feel completely comfortable and never made us feel judged or awkward about anything. She was absolutely amazing with our dogs — patient, caring, attentive, and clearly someone who truly loves animals. We got updates while we were away, and it was obvious our dogs were happy, relaxed, and very well cared for. By the end of the weekend, they absolutely adored her! It made such a huge difference being able to enjoy our trip knowing our dogs were in such good hands. We’re so grateful for the care she gave them and would absolutely trust her again in the future. Highly recommend!
Diego stayed at our house and took care of our 2 dogs for about a week and a half. Our dogs loved him! And he provided us regular pictures and updates everyday which we really appreciate. He was super responsive and followed everything we asked of him. Overall excellent dog sitter and will book with him in the future.

FAQs for House Sitting - Sun City West
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Sun City West on Rover is $53.5 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 3,463 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Sun City West. 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 West 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 West 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 West 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.
