We will definitely keep her as our go to sitter! She was terrific! Thank you Virginia! :)”
“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!”
“Zack did a fantastic job I left him with a page of typed notes for our five very idiosyncratic critters who have specific requirements like the cats get six mouth sized portions of what food a day and our Pitbull who requires just a little bit of walking and he was able to get our very standoffish kitty kitty to come out from under the bed and watch him so he gets an a in my book and he kept us up to date and sent us lots of really good pictures and the cats are not in a bad mood I was prepared to be getting the hate glare but the cats are not angry it is a beautiful thing”
“Jason is wonderful!! Our previous sitter cancel on us and Jason took care of my Hunter and Bella. He is very responsive professional puntual and loving. He sent pictures of the pups and kept us updated. I would definitely use Jason again and I highly recommend him. The pups were very happy with him!”
“She watched our 5 babies last minute after I lost my best friend suddenly. She was attentive & made sure the 2 dogs & 3 cats were safe despite my sudden departure. I will be using her again for road trips, family emergencies to week long vacations for sure!!”
“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.”
“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!”

“Kiersten was just great help with my dogs and my dogs absolutely loved her and coco is very picky when it comes to people and coco ran right up to her and instantly loved her and Coco can be little temperamental sometimes and she was not with Kiersten. She even stayed later for me because my flight got in so late. I will absolutely be using her again. She was amazing. She did everything as I asked, and more. Kiersten is so sweet and so sweet to my dogs. She took plenty of pictures and sent them to me which I loved and didn’t complain not one time because my AC was out upstairs so made the downstairs a little bit hotter then normal downstairs🥵 😬 she gave my dog lots of attention which made me feel much much better about not being there with them. I don’t even think my dogs realize I was gone because Kiersten was so amazing with Coco and Daisy and Ziah. I can’t wait to be able to have her come watch them again cause i know they will be in the best of care. And I’m So happy I finally found a good sitter for my dogs and home !!! Thank you so much Kiersten I will be in touch for sure. You are the best.!!!!!!”

“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!”
About: Bruno works with Technology and Renata is a registered nurse from Brazil who is currently completing the requirements to practice nursing in the United States. This allows her to be home throughout the day, so your dog will enjoy constant companionship, personalized care, and will rarely be left alone. Caring for dogs has always been a big part of our lives. Bruno grew up around German Shepherds raised by his grandfather, while Renata has cared for dogs for many years and truly treats every guest as if they were her own. Our goal is simple: to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience where your dog feels at home. Your dog will be treated like part of our family 🧡 Hi! We’re Bruno and Renata, a dog-loving couple living in a spacious home in Ocotillo, Chandler, with our friendly 9-year-old Golden Retriever, Eva. We understand how difficult it can be to leave your dog behind while you’re away. That’s why we do everything we can to make each guest feel safe, comfortable, and loved from the moment they arrive. Unlike large boarding facilities, we provide a calm home environment where every dog receives individual attention, affection, and plenty of supervised playtime. Why pet parents choose us: 🐾 Large, clean home with a fully fenced backyard. 🐾 Renata is home all day long, so your dog is rarely left alone. 🐾 Daily walks (adjusted to Arizona weather). 🐾 Indoor, air-conditioned environment for your dog’s comfort. 🐾 Daily playtime with tennis balls, toys, and enrichment activities. 🐾 Frequent photo and video updates, so you’ll always know how your best friend is doing. 🐾 Experience caring for puppies, adult dogs, senior dogs, and dogs that require medication. 🐾 Meet & Greets are always welcome before booking. To ensure every dog receives the attention they deserve, we host a maximum of two guest dogs at a time. If you’d prefer your dog to have our home all to themselves, we’re happy to reserve those dates exclusively for them by not accepting any other bookings during their stay.
About: I petsit for a friend of mine at their house so i was responsible for maintaining the house, taking care of the pets by feeding, walking, and crating them if I had to run an errand. I am in the vet field so I am very passionate about caring for pets and if there is ever a pet in need of medications I am more than capable of being responsible of caring for a pets that needs medication whether it be oral meds or injectable! I have only cared for my friends pets but would love to explore and meet other furry friends to care for! I am currently working full-time at an ER vet facility and work till late at times but at times I do not work as much as others and am able to take days off if told in advance for any long vacations that clients need their pets taken care of for! I make sure to meet clients beforehand and get familiar with where things are in case of emergencies and to just make things easier for when I come to care for the pets. I also like to come beforehand to see how the pets behave with me and what to look out for as abnormal behaviors! I am capable of doing whatever is handed to me whether it be having to crate pets, medicate pets or just go and have fun with them! I treat others house as very sacred so I make sure to keep the house as tidy as possible and not touch things unless told I can and even then I sometimes won’t because I very much respect other people’s houses!
“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!”
“Nikkole was great! She was very nice and took great care of my fur baby. She was very easy going with my adjustments in schedule! Will definitely use her again when I need someone to watch my dog. Highly recommend!”
“Kathryn did an amazing job! We have a brand new puppy and it was great knowing he was in such thoughtful and capable hands. We got lots of texts, photos and videos throughout the day. I would love to have Kathryn sit for us again soon!”

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!
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 August 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 August 2026, there are 4,215 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.

- 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.
