“Elizabeth was amazing dog sitting both my dogs. She followed all the instructions and requests, she even went above and beyond sent pictures of my pups. Would definitely have her watch my pups in the future and recommending her to friends and family.”
“Kimberly did a wonderful job! She sent pictures, walked the dogs, and when we came home I could tell that all the food and water had been looked after! I especially appreciated her taking the time to play with the dogs too! Definitely will hire her again!”
“We are so grateful for the wonderful care Rylee gave our dogs while we were away. She was incredibly kind, reliable, always on time, and communicated with us every step of the way. The pictures and updates she sent meant so much to us and gave us complete peace of mind knowing our pups were happy and well cared for. It's clear she genuinely loves animals, and we felt completely comfortable trusting her with our dogs. We wouldn't hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable dog sitter!”

“Savannah was perfect for our big baby Bleu! She communicated well throughout her check-in visits with him and gave him so much love! We will definitely reach out to Savannah in the future and will miss her until then!”
“Allison is amazing! Max hid under the bed (as he always does when stangers arrive) during her initial visit. She reached under the bed to let him smell her hand before she left. When she arrived for her first sitting visit, he came out and was as friendly as ever. Max knew, as I did that Allison was a friend. I highly recommend Allison as a sitter.”
About: I've been surrounded by animals all my life. Dogs especially. I helped to raise an accidental litter of nine puppies with my mom who kept four of the puppies who are very happy. I'm experienced in taking care of waste, walks, food prepping, and overall patience to help however I can. I also have experience working overnight in a boarding facility where I feed, medicate, potty, and monitor anywhere from 15 to 40+ dogs. I can assure the utmost care and attention when I'm with your little(or big) ones. I'm currently free to work whenever. I'm eager to help out where I can and will reply to requests immediately. I have a puppy of my own and he's very happy and I love taking care of him alongside my partner. I don't currently have much space to take any animals into my own home but I will be completely willing to go to a clients house. I will take note of every specific need and happily take care of any tasks asked of me.
“Mindy was fantastic! This was the first time I used a service and did not have a family member stay with the dogs. I am so very thankful for Mindy and her services when I had to leave! She checked on my dogs every day and sent me texts to let me know how they were doing. She made sure the house was comfortable for them, and discussed with me anything she could do to make sure they were comfortable (i.e. asked to close blinds, stayed to change the thermostat when i needed her to, checked in on them later that day just to make sure.)”
“Gabby was terrific with my senior cat, Gus. He does not warm up to people easily, but he responded well to Gabby. He let her pet him the very first time they met. Then it was obvious to me from the pictures she sent that Gus was very comfortable with Gabby. He let her brush him, and he even played with his toys which showed me that he was totally content in her presence. Judging from my cat’s reaction, Gabby has a true heart for animals and a wonder way with them.”
“Patricia was so awesome! Very conscientious! Cared about the well-being of my little kitty. Helper me figure out a little fumble we had with the key situation she was a God send. Very happy with the service.”

“Laura was so kind and took great care of our dog Bella! We got updates every time she would do a visit with her.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Surprise
Sophia went WAY above and beyond what we asked of her with no questions asked. We were honestly expecting to return to a horrifically dirty house because of our 4 animals after a week! We returned to an almost spotless house with many countermeasures put in place to prevent our animals from destroying everything! Thanks Sophia!

Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 Surprise 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!
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.

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 .
