“Virginia is a great Sitter. Our Pup totally enjoyed spending time with her as all the Pics she sent indicates. She followed our requests and maintained a calm, safe environment for our Pup while we were gone. Would definitely ask her to sit for us again.”
“Shelbie from start to finish was wonderful I have to very picky shitzus and she won them over she sent photos videos answers any txt or call we made we Thank her very much 💛”
“Christina did a great job with our pups. One of our dogs can be overly anxious and a handful, but when we arrived home everyone was calm. They have maintained a great disposition since we’ve been home. We will definitely reach out again!”
“Jason did a great job taking care of my dog, Rocco, while I took a short vacation. It was the first time I’d spent any time away from Rocco since I adopted him a few months ago, so it was important for me that his routine and environment stay as constant as possible. Jason spent lots of time with him and took him to his favorite walking site each day. Because of Jason’s care and attention I was able to relax and enjoy my time away, knowing that Rocco was in good hands!”
“Thank you Rayna for patiently caring for my Dalmatian Isla! Isla is still a bit of a puppy and nervous around people she doesn’t know, and Rayna sent lots of pictures as she and Isla got to know each other.”
“Adalyn took care of our dog overnight. She sent several photos and updates, and refilled her food and water regularly. Bonus, she left the house cleaner than we left it! Can’t wait to book Adalyn again!”
About: I grew up with dogs my entire life and have been pet sitting since I was a teenager. I have two dogs of my own who are my children and any pet I care for will be treated as if they’re my own. I have a lot of experience caring for older dogs since my parents dogs lived until they were 16 and 17yo. I have a full-time work from home job that I can work from anywhere as long as you have internet. I do work nights but work every other week. If you don’t mind me working while your pet sleeps I can sit on weeks I work. My job allows me plenty of flexibility to provide the best care for your pet. First and foremost, I care for every pet as if they’re my own. It’s a big deal to leave someone/something you love with another person, not just for you but for your pet. I will adapt to whatever routine your pet is on. However, I don’t do off leash play outside of a fenced yard or walks.
“Our experience with Abi was wonderful. This was the first time we left our pets without family around and Abi allowed me to relax in knowing they were in great care. In all the pictures, the girls all looked happy and relaxed which was a great sign that everything was okay and calm at the house. Coming back, they were happy to see us but were not desperate for attention which showed me they received it just fine while we were gone. Happy to have Abi as a contact here now for future travels and needs!”
“I feel like I just struck gold! My dogs are my kids and as anyone would be, I was a little apprehensive of having someone I didn't know stay in my home. Mallory was absolutely AMAZING! I have 2 doodles under the age of 2 and she cared for them so well and followed our routine as best possible, even though I didn't expect her to. I also have 2 kitties at home but, it was a short trip so no real need there but, she loved them just the same. I felt 100% at ease with Mallory looking after my guys. My neighbor saw her out with one of the pups and she text me telling me I "scored" with this sitter ;-) She was super communicative and left my house better than when I left. If you are looking for someone to watch after your furry friends Mallory's you're person! I kinda didn't want to leave this review as I want her to myself but, she deserves it 1000%”
About: I'm a Pre-Vet student and working Vet Tech who has spent 4 years handling, treating, and caring for animals of all kinds. From dogs and cats to birds, rabbits, rodents, and large animals, I bring clinical expertise to every stay. Experienced with medication administration, special needs, and senior dogs — your pet is in experienced, loving hands! Home for the summer and available for pet sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking! As a Pre-Vet student at the University of Arizona and working Vet Tech, animals are not just my passion — they're my career. Flexible scheduling available mornings, afternoons, or evenings to fit your routine! I understand the trust it takes to welcome someone into your home and I take that responsibility seriously. As a Vet Tech with 4 years of clinical experience, I maintain your pet's exact routine — feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and favorite comfort spots. Your home is treated with complete respect and your pet receives the same professional, compassionate care I provide every day in the clinic!
About: I treat every pet like they are my own. I have had my dog for five years and have also cared for many friends’ and families’ pets, so I am used to different personalities, routines, and energy levels. With a flexible schedule, I can give your pet plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, cuddles, and consistency throughout the day. Whether they are energetic, shy, silly, or need a slower pace, I pay attention to what helps them feel comfortable. I also send regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. Pet care fits well into my daily routine because I currently have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability. I am able to provide reliable care throughout the day, including walks, feeding, playtime, check-ins, and overnight care when needed. I can also adjust easily to pets’ individual routines and give them consistent attention rather than rushing through visits. I provide attentive, routine-based care that follows each pet’s usual schedule as closely as possible. In a client’s home, I make sure pets have fresh water, meals given exactly as instructed, regular potty breaks or walks, playtime, and plenty of affection and companionship. I also keep their space clean, follow any medication or special-care instructions carefully, and send updates and photos so owners know how their pet is doing.
About: I have been a pet sitter since middle school. I currently cat sit and dog sit for family and friends. Which include various breeds, age, and sizes. I have a pretty flexible work schedule. I can assure you that your pets will have all of the love and care while you are away. I am attentive to my own animals and I will treat yours like my own. Feeding them as frequently as needed. Also including medications, if needed.
“Alex watched our pup for 6 days in our home while we were out of state taking son to college. Alex did a great job with our velcro dog. Alex was attentive to her meal schedule and activity level. He watched over the home like it was his own. No wild parties and was respectful of our space. Daily text messages with pictures was wonderful. He cleaned up before he left and even washed the sheets and kitchen. We will definitely have Alex over again to watch Roxy.”
“Alicia was great about sending photos and being flexible for our needs. We came back to happy, healthy pups. We have already hired Alicia again, and we are considering another couple days out of town now that we have someone we can trust.”
“Savannah was great! We received photos daily and I knew our girl was in great hands. We came back and our house was in clean condition and dog bedding washed and our Marla was happy. All we can hope for! Thank you again!”
“Nicole and Rose were great! They were flexible with some last minute changes to the sitting. They sent updates and pictures for me to see how the pups were doing. They were very kind and great to communicate with. Can’t wait for them to house sit my pups again!”
“Amber is the BEST!!!! My husband and I haven’t traveled in 4 years because we were worried about leaving our pup. We found Amber and loved the fact she is studying to be a vet. She took such good care of our girl. Alabama (our pup) was instantly comfortable with her which hasn’t happened in the 10 years we’ve had her. She has a caring calm energy that Alabama really responded to. She took the best pics, provided great updates and took great care of our home. Will definitely be calling her again! Thanks again, you made traveling for 8 days stress free for us! Thanks Amber!”
About: If you need someone to give some attention, snuggle, exercise, or anything in between! I have extensive experience administering medications, with or without aids or coercion. (usually! Every dog is different, but I've been trained by veterinary professionals.) I cared for my 13 year-old Lab-mix, Jackson, 24/7 while working from home during Covid lockdowns. Two of those years he was unable to walk unassisted and 100% of his mobility relied on me to go up and down stairs, outside to the bathroom, etc. He needed medications 4 times per day, and so I understand the struggles. In my life I have rescued and raised a squirrel pup, many cats, kittens, dogs, and now I have a 1 year-old pup at home that I have rescued since I just moved here to AZ. (in my picture! Meet Andromeda!) Meet and greets can be done in your home, a park, or wherever you and your pets are comfy! I am currently laid off and can provide nearly any level of support you need within reason. (I do have a pup at home myself that loves and misses me!) I love walking, but I do have physical limits. After sundown is obviously best, but I'm available early mornings too. Mid-day walks are rough on everyone, but I can handle them. I carry TONS of water and ice packs for both the pets and myself. Whatever works best for you and your babies; drop-ins, walks, bathroom breaks only, exercise (light jog for a few miles if they're good on a leash with me!), throwing a ball, playing tug-o-war with rope, whatever they need or want! Low energy? High energy? I'm their man.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sun Lakes
Jason was fantastic from start to finish. He responded promptly and came over right away for a meet-and-greet, which gave us confidence before leaving our pets in his care. We have a newly adopted rescue who is extremely timid, along with another dog and two cats, so finding someone patient and attentive was especially important. Jason followed all of our instructions carefully, was very responsive throughout the week, and provided regular updates and pictures that gave us great peace of mind while we were away. When we returned home, everything was neat, clean, and exactly as we left it. It was clear our pets were well cared for and comfortable. Jason will absolutely be our pet sitter of choice going forward, and we recommend him without hesitation.
Our experience with Abi was wonderful. This was the first time we left our pets without family around and Abi allowed me to relax in knowing they were in great care. In all the pictures, the girls all looked happy and relaxed which was a great sign that everything was okay and calm at the house. Coming back, they were happy to see us but were not desperate for attention which showed me they received it just fine while we were gone. Happy to have Abi as a contact here now for future travels and needs!

FAQs for House Sitting - Sun Lakes
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Sun Lakes on Rover is $55.5 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 4,198 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Sun Lakes. 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 Lakes 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 Lakes 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 Lakes 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sun Lakes. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
