“I cleaned house before we left and was thrilled to come home to a spotless house and a HAPPY dog!! Chuck sent us pictures and or videos every day and Harper was smiling and content every time!! We had a rather complicated food recipe that Chuck had to follow and he did so like an experienced line cook lol. He is extremely organized- taking notes at the meet and greet and then again right before we left, asking questions and making us feel sooo comfortable leaving our sweet dog in his care! He was sooo friendly and accommodating and his wife is lovely too. 😊 I would HIGHLY recommend anyone to use him for their pet sitting because we didn’t at any time feel uncomfortable or worried about our dog or home and that in itself helps to make a vacation wonderful!! Bonus for us is that we have the nicest new friends and Harper does too!!! Harper says thank you, too!!! 🩷”
“I am very happy with Dina. She did an overnight with my little fur baby. She sent pictures throughout her time at my home and Winnie looked like she was having a good time. Im new to Rover, but very happy of the our experience. Ill use Dina again for sure.”
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. 😊
“Allison exceeded our expectations! She was excellent at communicating, took amazing care of our dog, and left the house in great shape! Wouldn’t hesitate to have her stay with our dog again.”
“Laura did a most excellent job and my pets loved her. They were treated wonderfully and so was my house, left very clean and bedding & towels washed & replaced. My cat and two dogs were so content even before I arrived home from my trip. Laura also took lots of great photos. Thank you Laura!”
“Kelly is the BEST! She did a fantastic job watching our pups. She always keep updated on what was going on. She sent lots of pictures. We highly recommend Kelly. We plan on using Kelly everytime we need someone to watch the pups!”
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 am available most nights for house sitting and walking or just drop ins depending on when I get the message! I love to just sit down and play with them, either with their toys or just running around, and hanging out and chilling with them! I make sure they are fed, hydrated, clean, and loved!
“Excellent... our shy puppy was walked even an extra time! Angela coaxed her out and found a way to to become her friend. She was timely, great communication and left the house as it was when she got here. Thank you!”
“Adrian was beyond exceptional. Not only did he care for Sitka in the way we truly hoped for, but he took care of our entire home while we were out of the country and sent us updates and photos daily. The communication was excellent and Adrian has a very easy going and pleasant manner which enhanced our collaboration. We have a very large dog who needs a good deal of exercise and attention and we knew as soon as we got home that he was well attended to and loved on. THANK YOU ADRIAN for all of your care and thoughtfulness.”
“Brenda took very good care of our two rescue terrier mix doggies, and also our home! We were away for five days and everything went very well. She even washed and replaced the towels and sheets she used, which I was so grateful for! Thank you, Brenda!”
“Alexandria is so sweet and flexible and she really cares about our dog. Leaving your pup while on vacation can be stressful but Alexandria sends so many updates and makes sure that I know pup is okay. She has always gone above and beyond for our dog. I can’t say enough good things. Thank you so much!”

I currently work part time with 5 hour shifts and a flexible schedule. There's plenty of wiggle room for last minute appointments and it's easy to clear space for advanced booking. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and personality and I've dogsat all over the valley. You're dog is good to go if they need lots of play time or just some cuddles.
“Kathleen was amazing! She took such great care of our dogs. She was reliable and communicative. We appreciated the picture updates. We came home to two happy pups and a clean, tidy house as if we never left! Would absolutely book with Kathleen again.”
“Karen was absolutely amazing to our girl! She was attentive, caring, understanding and thoughtful. She went above and beyond to ensure she stayed in touch with us the entire trip. She would send daily text updates with pictures. We knew our golden retriever was in great hands! Karen is certainly the correct choice when selecting someone to take care of your pet! We have no doubt that we will have Karen watch our pup again! Thank you for, Karen!!”
“Amanda was phenomenal!!! She was very communicative with me, shared pictures several times daily, and my dogs were loved I know. She was on time for her scheduled time and made sure dogs were ok if my flight would be late, offering to stay. I would recommend her to everyone! And now that I know how she did with my dogs, I might be more willing to leave them for short trips. I couldn’t have been happier!”
About: I've taken care of pets in my home for over 10 years. I have a friend that breeds goldendoodles and I support her with caring for her animals when she has new litters. I've owned pets all of my life. I work full-time for an adult day healthcare in Surprise. My job is flexible so at times I'm able to work at home as well. When I am caring for animals I flex my schedule to accommodate their needs first. I have two goldendoodles that I own they are very friendly with other pets. I can tailor your pet care needs to any of your wishes. I do have a fenced yard with a doggie door.
“Caitlin was amazing! We don't have kids and very protective of our furbaby. Caitlin treated Bella like she was her own pup. She did all the basics, followed our instructions, but so much more. Loved all updates and pics she sent. Bella was definitely spoiled. Caitlin also took great care of our home. We will definitely be booking her again.”
About: I grew up with dogs my whole life and had other animals like turtles, hamsters, guinea pig and cats but size doesn’t matter to me. I’m free pretty much most days I work online and have classes online so I’m able to be home all day if needed by you. I’ve had animals all my life and I love them all to death. My dog of 14 years recently passed away a couple of months ago so I looking to get more experience with any animal.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sun City West
We had such a wonderful experience with Jade! She took excellent care of our pup and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. She kept us updated with pictures and messages throughout the stay. Our dog was happy, well cared for, and clearly loved while we were gone. We would absolutely recommend her🐶🐾
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!

The average cost of House Sitting in Sun City West is $54 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $82 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
