“I was thrilled to have Shelbie watch Lucky. She did an amazing job with his meds and walks. She reported in as requested with pictures which made me feel so much better. She will be asked back to watch Lucky again.”
“Absolutely amazing! She sent us update photos everyday & our cat adored her so much! He snuggled her & was so happy. She was attentive & even got our mail for us; literally the best in every way! Only using her going forward!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is My Energy im able and willing to give. Positive Loving energy like none other! Im sure your pet will fall in love with me and myself in turn, will fall in love with your pet as well. I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of every kind since about 9 yrs. Of age. Family, Family Friends, Friends, and Neighborhood families have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets if need be. What are you waiting for?! Lets Connect!! Im available to watch All Pets (Dogs, Cats, etc.) currently throughout the week. As clientele grows, my schedule will change but will be notified in advance always! My place has a very big yard area for easy potty relief but will also take them out for a walk to release as well. Im able to easily crate your dog if need be. There is ample amount of space in the living room which help makes it a puppyroom/kittyroom depending on your pet and preference. They also have free reign to walk around throughout my place, wherever they choose. Cannot forget Treats! (only with parents permission of course)
“I was ready to give up on Rover after many failed attempts to secure a sitter but am so glad I found Grace! She was very friendly and communicative. Immediately upon meeting I could tell my dog and home would be in good hands. I am confident my boy got plenty of love from Grace while I was gone and I will definitely be having her return!”
“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.”

About: Hi! I’m a caring, reliable, and responsible pet lover who enjoys spending time with both dogs and cats. I’ll make sure your furry friends feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away, treating every pet like family! 🐾❤️ I have over 6 years of experience caring for dogs and cats, and I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, needs, and routines. 🐾 I work a couple of nights a week but am always off by 8 PM, so I have plenty of free time to care for your pets. My schedule is flexible, and I’m happy to work with you to find times that fit your needs! 🐾 I provide pet sitting exclusively in your home, where your pets can stay comfortable in their own familiar environment and stick to their usual routines. 🐾
About: Growing up with multiple pets has given me the knowledge and experience about what it takes to care for and ensure the well-being of others' pets. On top of living with pets all my life, I have seven years of pet sitting experience under my belt, with several pet owners requesting my services more than once due to their satisfaction with my care of their pets. I'm currently living at home in Chandler, AZ and am looking for pet sitting opportunities to do while I'm here. I can pet sit anytime during the week and will stay at the home if requested. I have a job in Central Scottsdale where I’m typically scheduled 5 days a week with shifts ranging from 5-8 hours. If you’re uncomfortable with your pets being alone for a bit during the day then unfortunately I may not be the best choice for you. I do not offer pet care in my home, but I am more than willing to stay the night at the owner's home to both pet and house sit. Staying the night with the pets has been the primary service that I offer.
“Cameron really connected with Winston - it was clear they would get along perfectly. A few impressions of Cameron: prompt, well mannered, considerate and trustworthy. We will not hesitate to engage him again.”

I am home from college and I have nothing on my schedule! I am available at all times during the day and night without any restrictions. I will ensure that your pets are my priority! I will make sure that pets are taken care of however the family takes care of them to keep up on their routines and not confuse them. I will show them love and affection as well as make it as seamless as possible for you guys to leave and come back without any issues!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sun Lakes
Virginia was wonderful with Olive & Kristoff! She was reliable, caring, and kept us updated with messages and photos throughout our time away. She made sure they were well fed and even slept with Olive so she wouldn’t be alone. It gave us peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. I had a great experience with Virginia and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and trustworthy pet sitter! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
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!!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Sun Lakes is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $38 and $74 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. 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 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sun Lakes. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
