“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!”
“Jean took great care of our pup and was so easy and kind to work with! Our anxious and hyper dog calmed down with her instantly. Great communication and updates as well!”
“Chuck did a great job of watching my cat Scaredy and taking good care of her even though I made it much harder by mistakenly leaving my cell phone at home which made it impossible for either of us to get in contact with each other. I am so sorry for doing that and apologies for making such a bad mistake.”
“Dina was fantastic with our pups! We have an especially anxious old timer. I gave her instructions on how to handle him and he warmed up to her very quickly. She sent us photos while we were gone and made us feel so comfortable, knowing how good of hands our babies were in. We will be using Dina again in the future! Thanks, Dina!”
“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.”
“Annabella did an awesome job housesitting while I was away. She kept Phoebe engaged, sent pictures daily and even printed copies of photos for me. Upon my arrival home, Phoebe was happy and well taken care of. Thanks so much Annabella, definitely appreciate your help.”
“We highly recommend Jessica. She is very sweet and professional. Great communication and took loving care of our clingy poodle. She went above and beyond to locate our home after I made a typo on our address. Will definitely schedule again with Jessica.”
“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!”
About: I’ve always loved being around animals and have experience caring for both dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I’m dependable, patient, and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I can help with feeding, walks, playtime, basic grooming, cleaning up after pets, giving medications if needed, and keeping pets on their normal routine. I’m also comfortable with energetic puppies, shy cats, and senior pets that need extra attention and patience. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always focus on making them happy and stress-free. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and staying active. I’m organized with my schedule and make sure pets get the attention, walks, feeding, playtime, and care they need throughout the day. Whether it’s early morning walks, check-ins during the day, or evening care, I’m reliable and consistent with routines. I also enjoy being outdoors and active, so taking dogs on walks or spending time playing with pets is something I look forward to every week. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of attention, exercise, and playtime, and feel comfortable while their owners are away. I also keep the home clean and respectful by cleaning up after pets, maintaining litter boxes if needed, and following any specific instructions the owner provides. I understand every pet has a different personality and routine, so I always try to give them patient, reliable, and personalized care in the environment they’re most comfortable in.
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!
“Roger did great with my buddy! He sent pictures while I was gone and was there with him consistently. I was so happy to know that my doggo was with someone as caring as Roger! He even brought him a new toy, which is now his favorite!”
About: I have taken care of dogs in my home and professionally at a daycare/boarding facility. I am an RN and comfortable with meds and first aid. I will treat your dog like my family! I am currently working on starting my own business taking dogs on excursions to keep cool while playing with other dogs. I love dogs and find great satisfaction taking care of them in the home or outdoors. I will strive to maintain the regular routine for your dog. I help them feel comfortable by doing the same things you would do for them. Meal time, bedtime, walking, pottying, etc. all tend to have a routine, and I will keep that routine while pouring out affection to your dog as if they were my own.
About: Hi there! I’m Allison, and I can’t wait to meet your furry family members. I have loved and cared for my own dogs and cats for more than 25 years. Currently, my house is kept lively by my three amazing pups: a Beagle, a Golden Retriever, and a Labrador. Having raised everything from high-energy hunting breeds to gentle giants, I know exactly what it takes to keep a household happy and harmonious. My philosophy is simple: I treat your pets, in your home, exactly like they are my own. Whether your dog needs a structured routine and a good game of fetch, or your cat prefers quiet companionship and perfectly timed chin scratches, I tailor my care to their unique personalities. I am comfortable with oral medications, special diets, and multiple pets. I will make sure your pet gets the love and attention it deserves while you are away. I offer dedicated overnight stays at your home so their routine goes uninterrupted. I can provide morning and evening feedings, fresh water refills, multiple walks/yard play sessions, plenty of couch cuddles, and daily text and photo updates. I’ll also keep your home secure and tidy, bring in the mail, and water plants. I can also do drop in visits to provide morning/evening food, fresh water, let-outs/quick walks, playtime, and a clean litter box or backyard scoop. Animals thrive on consistency. I adhere strictly to your established schedules for feedings, bathroom breaks, and medication administration to minimize any separation anxiety. You will never have to wonder how your pets are doing. I provide daily updates complete with photos and notes on their mood, eating habits, and bathroom routines. If anything seems out of the ordinary, I will communicate with you immediately.
About: I worked in boarding so I have experience caring for all different breeds, ages, special needs, and attitudes of dogs. I also have had 6 dogs total, so I am used to the dog life! I am available anytime! I am very flexible, although afternoons and evenings would be preferred, but both weekends and weekdays are not a problem at all. I am easily accomodating of all preferences for your dogs. Any special diets or playtime schedules are welcome. Every dog is different so just let me know! My dogs get walked 3 times a day and are used to going to the park or even just running around the backyard.
“Kalin did an amazing job looking after my sweet boy, Willy! She was incredibly responsive and kept me up to date with everything he was doing along with pictures and videos of how well they were getting along! Kalin was very professional and definitely shows her advanced knowledge of dogs and pet sitting! This was the first time I’ve ever used a Rover so inviting a stranger into my home to watch my beloved dog was a bit scary for me however, Kalin put all my worries at ease with her constant updates and professionalism. I would highly suggest Kalin to anyone looking for a sitter!”
“She is fantastic! Trustworthy in my home and with our animals. She went above and beyond with the pictures and videos. We were truly able to enjoy ourselves while on vacation knowing our animals were well taken care of. Highly recommend! We will book with her again!”
“Pei-Wen was amazing and sent us pictures while we were gone! We had house sitting services, and I think the house was in better shape then when we left it! Our pets were well cared for while we were gone.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Sun City West is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sun City West
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 $55.38 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 3,409 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.
