“Zach took such good care of my two dogs! He was great with communication, so friendly, prompt, and obviously cares so much about dogs! I just came home from my trip to two very happy dogs and a clean house. I will be reaching out to Zach in the future to help with my dogs! Thanks Zach!”
About: I’ve been a true pet lover over the years, from fish to dogs. I’ll be sure to provide your little one with the care and attention they need! I currently WFH, so I am able to take pets out as often as needed to relieve themselves and provide plenty of play time and cuddles I live in a peaceful residential area, my home fenced in, and is smoke-free. I also do not have any pets, so those with anxious little ones are safe here.
“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.”
“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!”
“Alanna was great with my 3 boys. I got updates and pictures every morning. When I returned home, my dogs were happy, my house was clean and everything back to normal. I have already let Alanna know I want her to watch them next time.”
“Joel and Ashley did a STELLAR job taking care of our dog and cat. Our situation is a little complicated as we are in the process of making our dog and cat friendly with each other, so they’re currently kept separate. They made sure our cat received tons of attention even though she was sequestered to her own bedrooms. They kept our house tidy, made sure our dog got his walks, and spoiled our babies like they were their own pets. I also got plenty of communication from Joel and lots of pictures showing very happy pets. What a relief to know we have someone we can rely on!”
“Sophia is very caring and you can tell she loves animals. She sent plenty of pictures and was great about staying in touch while I was away. She even went so far as to bring a “carrier” for my old guy that can’t really go on walks anymore which I thought was really sweet. I’ve already rebooked with her and feel great about her caring for my senior dogs!”

About: 🐾 About Me Dogs have always been a big part of my life! I grew up around dogs, and my very first dog was Tequila, a Rottweiler, who gave me my love for big dogs and their big personalities. ❤️ I’ve also volunteered at a Humane Society, where I was responsible for walking dogs of all sizes and personalities, from small, easygoing pups to larger dogs who were more nervous, energetic, or challenging to handle. This experience taught me how important patience, confidence, and understanding each dog’s individual needs can be. Today, I’m a proud dog mom to Macho, my 3-year-old Pomeranian. 🐶 He keeps me on my toes and reminds me that little dogs can have BIG personalities! I also regularly pet sit my sister-in-law’s two Australian Shepherds, Mavy and Leroy, so I’m comfortable caring for both small and large, high-energy dogs. Whether your pup needs a walk, some playtime, companionship, or simply someone they can feel comfortable and safe with while you’re away, I’ll treat them like family. My goal is to make sure every dog in my care feels loved, comfortable, and happy. 🐾❤️ I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pup! 🐾 My Schedule I’m currently available Monday–Friday after 7 PM for dog walks and drop-in visits. On weekends, I have more flexibility and can provide pet sitting in your home or take your pup on walks and adventures. 🐶❤️ I’m happy to work around your schedule whenever possible! I care for pets in their home by following their routine, keeping them comfortable and safe, and giving them plenty of attention, walks, playtime, food, and fresh water. I also keep their space clean and send updates so you know how they’re doing.

We have complete peace of mind whenever we're away because we know our pups are in the best hands. Reliable, caring, and truly treats our dogs like family. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care!”

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!

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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!

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 .
