“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!”
“Annabella was awesome! She came into my home to check on my dog Bear and handled everything perfectly, even though it was her first time meeting him and being in my house. Bear can be a little unsure at first, but he warmed up to her quickly which says a lot. She was super friendly, easy to communicate with, and made the whole process feel really comfortable. I really appreciated the update and the photo she sent too. I’d definitely trust her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and great with their pet!”
“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.”
“Dina was wonderful. She's very personable which made for a fun meet-n-greet! Not only did she do a great job caring for my two boys but she took on other little tasks like bringing the newspaper and cleaning the food storage containers every day. I would definitely hire her again as my pet sitter! :)”
“Kaylan was incredibly responsive, completed all of the necessary tasks in a timely manner, and even got our extremely shy cat to socialize! Loved the pictures and feedback we received from her :)”

“Tonya was great! She was punctual and really cares about the fur babies she’s taking care of which is wonderful. My boys liked her (they told me so lol) and I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again!”
“So grateful to have Stephanie care for our dogs. She provided loving care to them while we were on vacation and it was so comforting to know she was with them! I couldn’t recommend her any more! I think our dogs would agree! Thank you Stephanie!”

About: I'm passionate about providing top-notch care for your furry friends! With 10 years of dog-sitting experience and a lifetime of growing up with dogs, I bring a deep love for canines and a wealth of knowledge to ensure your pets are happy and well-cared for. I specialize in staying active with dogs, whether it's long walks, playtime, or engaging activities tailored to their energy levels. I have extensive experience with both senior dogs and puppies, understanding their unique needs and providing the extra care they require. As the proud owner of two well-trained, large-breed dogs who get along great with others, I know how to foster a positive and safe environment. I'm also skilled at administering medication and accommodating any special needs your dog may have. Let me give your pup the love, attention, and care they deserve! As a passionate pet caregiver, I seamlessly integrate dog and cat care into my daily and weekly routine to ensure your furry friends receive the exercise, attention, and love they need. My schedule is structured to prioritize their well-being while maintaining flexibility to meet their unique needs. **Daily Routine:** Each morning, I start with a brisk walk or play session for dogs, depending on their energy levels, to get their exercise in early. For cats, I engage them with interactive toys. Throughout the day, I provide multiple check-ins, including feeding, fresh water, and potty breaks for dogs or litter box maintenance for cats. I make time for extra cuddles, grooming, or training sessions to keep them mentally and physically stimulated. If medication is required, I administer it precisely as instructed. Evenings include another walk or playtime, ensuring dogs get ample exercise (at least 1-2 hours total daily) and cats receive focused attention to keep them content. Before bedtime, I ensure they’re settled with a calm environment, often spending quality time to reinforce our bond. **Weekly Routine:** On a weekly basis, I plan longer adventures for dogs, such as hikes or visits to dog-friendly parks (with owner approval), to mix up their exercise routine and provide new stimuli. For cats, I rotate toys and introduce enrichment activities. I schedule deep cleaning of pet areas, such as bedding or litter boxes, to maintain a hygienic space. My two well-trained, large-breed dogs, who are great with other pets, join in group activities when appropriate, fostering socialization for dogs or providing a calm presence for cats. I also set aside time to communicate with pet owners, sending updates or photos to keep them connected. My 10 years of experience and lifelong background with pets allow me to adapt my routine to accommodate senior pets or puppies/kittens, ensuring they get the extra care they need. By weaving pet care into my daily and weekly rhythm, I guarantee your dog or cat receives abundant exercise, personalized attention, and a nurturing environment, all while keeping their routine consistent and stress-free. Safety and trust are two very important things, especially when talking about pets. I’ve grown up with so many different kinds of animals, and each one of them have had different personalities! So if your dog is energetic, shy, skittish, or even lazy… I will take all necessary precautions to make sure your pet feels safe and anxious free! Especially if im in their home, dogs and cats can get very territorial and im fully prepared for any situation!
“Ariana was timely and very attentive. She would send pictures and pupdates regularly. This was my first time using a service like this, and I will definitely book again and of course, choose Ariana.”

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!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Surprise stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Surprise with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
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.
