“I highly recommend Zach to everyone. He meticulously followed all the directions I provided and kept me updated throughout the weekend without needing to be asked. Additionally, he administered medication to my pup with great care.”
“Shelbie was fantastic with my girls. She was very patient with my Dolce and her eating habits. Shelbie sent lots of pictures and updates! I think my girls didn’t even miss us! I will definitely be using her in the future, I already booked her for a trip in June. 😊😊😊”
“Virginia was amazing. Milo loved her and she was so wonderful caring for him. It’s very hard for me to leave Milo while I travel for work. However, Virginia was so attentive to him and left my house cleaner than I left it. It was so nice to get photos of him throughout the day. Virginia spent so much time with him and he loved her. I will only be booking with Virginia from now on. The best dog/house sitter I’ve ever had.”
“Savannah was great! She sent me a bunch of pictures of my pup and took care of him while I was away for a few days. Even when I had a last-minute trip to the vet, she accommodated exceptionally well and was very responsive and paid close attention to the medications he needed. Highly recommend her to take care of your furry friends!”
“ARIEL was so sweet and took the time to come meet me prior to watching my dogs. My dogs are like my kids so I take great care in choosing someone who I think they will love and they definitely loved her. She left my house better than it was when I left and I couldn’t have appreciated her more with how much time she spent with them.”
“Our very anxious beagle warmed up to Nicole very quickly. She stayed with her and kept us updated throughout our time away. This was our first time using Rover and so we were initially not sure what to expect. We did a few meet and greets prior to our leaving and we felt very comfortable with Nicole and her calm presence. She was patient and warm with our dog. We would recommend her to anyone with a dog that needs a lot of extra love and attention. Thank you for watching our dearest little Stella.”
“Naomi was great! She has a gentle touch with our dogs and we felt very good leaving them in her hands. She was also very respectful of our home and kept it cleaner than we left it. Will book her again.”
“We were really happy with Christina! She took great care of our little Zoey and gave us peace of mind while we were away. Communication was easy, and we could tell she was comfortable and well looked after.”
“This was my first experience with Rover and I was nervous about having someone in my home. I have 2 senior dogs and while they aren’t special needs I wanted someone who would cuddle them while I was away. Courtney was so understanding and put my mind at ease. She provided updates and photos and even washed the bedding before she left! I will definitely book with her again. Thank you for your kindness and love of animals Courtney!”
“This was the first time my husband and I have left our fur babies with anyone but a family member or friend, and we are so pleased with our experience! Alanna was kind and professional from the very start. She alleviated any concerns and answered any questions we had for her. She not only came over once prior to our booking, but twice, to ensure the dogs remembered her and were comfortable. Aside from the care she took on our animals, she respected our home while she stayed there with them! It was as clean, or cleaner, than how we left it and we got daily updates and pics and more if requested. We look forward to booking Alanna again for any future dog sitting!”
“I always get stressed out when I have to leave my pets but once I met Mackenzie I knew I wouldn't have to worry. She is just the sweetest and my dog loved her. She sent lots of pictures which I appreciated so much. I would highly recommend Mackenzie and would definitely use her again.”
“Best review came from our dog. He did a little "glee pee" when he saw Jason today. Jason stayed with Kal for 3 weeks while we were away on vacation. They obviously got on very well together because Kal has only greeted 2 other people with "glee pee." Finding a responsible, gentle and caring individual was our number one concern when we were looking for someone to care for Kal. Our second concern was finding someone who we could trust to care for the house and our property. Jason exceeded our expectations on both counts. After 3 weeks together, Kal was obviously in love with Jason. The house was exactly as we had left it. If there was a 6th star, he would definitely get it.”
“Rayna did a great job with my old little Daisy girl. She was prompt in communication and sent me some adorable pictures. Our Daisy is older and needs extra attention but it can take time for her to trust you. Rayna seemed to have the magic touch and had Daisy cuddling on her chest in no time. Rayna understood the importance of not allowing Daisy outside by herself because we have big hawks and coyotes in the neighborhood. It’s always scary leaving your fur-child but knowing Rayna was giving her all the love really helped put me at ease. We actually have her booked again this month for a few days. Thank you! 💕😊”
“Ashley took very good care of our Jack Russell terrier, Jilli. She made sure that Jilli had lots of play time and simulation. She is extremely reliable and thorough. She was on time for our meet and greet and asked appropriate questions putting our minds at ease. She sent picks and updates every day. I would highly recommend her to care for your pets and will be using her again!!”
“Heather is wonderful! Sent pics and updates without being asked. I had complete confidence that she had everything covered without me having to micromanage and trusted her in my home. Will def book again!”
“I am extremely pleased with Lisa. My boys loved her and already miss her and have been looking for her since she left. I would highly recommend her and appreciate everything she has done.”
“Marianne has watched our house & pups twice now! She is a great pup sitter as well as house sitter. We will continue to use Marianne when we are out of town!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Sun Lakes is $50

Josh took excellent care of our pups and our home, I am positive they did not miss us one bit. He treated them like his own and even completed extra house duties without being asked such as checking the mail, some cleaning before we arrived back home, and took care of killing a scorpion that made its way inside. Will absolutely be booking with Josh again!
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 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 4,272 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.

- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
