“Xianna was amazing! Augustus loved having her come over while I was at work and I was so thankful for the all the pictures and little notes she would send me afterwards. Xianna truly took care of him like he was her own dog! I will definitely be rebooking her again!”

About: I've cared for animals my entire life, including dogs, cats, tortoises, and fish, and have experience pet sitting overnight for many families. I'm especially passionate about caring for senior pets and those with physical disabilities. I've cared for two elderly dogs with mobility challenges, including one who lost the use of their back legs and needed assistance getting around and going outside. I understand that these pets require extra patience, gentleness, and individualized care, and I'm committed to making them feel safe and comfortable while you're away. I also volunteered for two years at a cat shelter, where I fed cats, deep-cleaned kennels and litter boxes, monitored their health, and administered medications according to their care plans. I also have experience giving medications to dogs. While I'm not a certified trainer, I've trained my own dogs and know how important consistency is. I'm happy to follow your pet's established commands, routines, and house rules to help them feel secure and maintain good habits. Living in Arizona has made me very flexible with schedules, including early morning or late evening walks during the summer heat. Above all, I know pets are family, and I treat every animal in my care with the same patience, compassion, and attention I'd want for my own. As a graduate student, I attend classes Tuesday through Thursday, but I stay overnight in your home and return as soon as my classes are finished. My class schedule is consistent each week, so you'll always know when I'll be away and when I'll be back. I'm fully available Friday through Monday. I'm happy to discuss your pet's needs to make sure my schedule is a good fit. I believe the best pet care starts with keeping your pet's routine as consistent as possible. I'll follow your feeding schedule, walking routine, medication instructions, and any household rules or commands your pet is already familiar with so they feel comfortable while you're away. Whether I'm caring for a playful puppy, an independent cat, or a senior pet who needs extra assistance, I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and well-being. I'm attentive to changes in behavior, make sure fresh water is always available, and provide plenty of affection while respecting each pet's individual personality and boundaries. I also know how important communication is when someone else is caring for your pet. I'm happy to provide regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.

I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, potty breaks, and lots of love while you’re away Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, medications, and any special instructions.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life — from dogs and cats to birds and bunnies — and caring for them comes as naturally to me as breathing. Our home was always full of furry (and sometimes feathered!) friends, and that love has only grown over the years. When you trust me with your pet, you’re not just hiring a sitter — you’re choosing someone who will treat them like family. Whether it’s belly rubs, playtime, or simply keeping them company, your pet will be safe, happy, and deeply loved. Let me give you peace of mind while you’re away — your fur baby will be in warm, caring hands! 🔆😊 I work from home full-time, which means I have the flexibility and availability to give your pets the attention and care they deserve throughout the day. Whether they need extra playtime, cuddles, or just someone to keep them company, I’ll be there to accommodate their needs. Just let me know when you need me — I’m ready to help! I live in an apartment with my husband, our 2-year-old boy, and our dog who loves the company of other fur buddies! We have a dog park right inside our complex, perfect for safe, fun playtime and daily walks. It’s a calm, loving environment where your pet will feel right at home.

About: I have had multiple pets of my own! I have trained all of my own animals from when they were super young puppies/ kittens! Neighbors, friends and family have all relied on me for care of their fur babies! I’m currently working part time so I have all the time to care for your fur babies! I am available all day on the weekends and most day during the week! You should care for animals the way I do with my own! All animals will be loved, cared, walked (if needed), and cleaned up after!

“Kalin took amazing care of our cat, he is so shy and opened right up to her, I couldn't believe it! She really is loved by animals and was so kind to him and sent lots of photos and it warmed my heart while I was away.”


About: I love taking care of animals and I have recently been pet sitting more and I love it. I grew up with 2 cats and 2 dogs. I’m in college right now so I miss being able to take care of animals so this is a way I still can! I am a college student currently and have a part time job but my schedule is pretty flexible and I can make pretty much anything work with enough notice! I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for whether I’m in my home or a client’s home. I pay close attention to their routines, feeding schedules, and any special needs. My apartment is clean and pet-friendly, and I create a calm environment so they feel at home. I also make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and care.
About: I have always been around dogs since I was born. My neighbors always rely on me to watch their dogs when they go out of town. Pet care would fit perfectly into my life. I have a lot of free time and hanging out with pets is the perfect way to fill it I have a dog of my own and I take her on runs and walks all the time. When we are home I make sure to give her lots of love as well.

“So happy with my decision to have Jeanette & Morgan dog sit for my pups! I knew they were being cared for and it really eased my mind over the holidays. I even had my flight cancelled and was able to book another drop in visit for the day after my original booking- I SO appreciated that help when I needed it most!”

About: I have always been the “go to” for all my family, neighbors, and friends when they are in need of someone to be lovingly attentive, patient, and dependable to their pet’s needs. I have many years of experience with rescue, senior, puppies and special needs dogs. I volunteer at a local dog/cat shelter and a farm animal sanctuary in my spare time. It is an absolute joy meeting new animals and getting to know their individual personalities. My love of all animals makes this work deeply fulfilling and so much fun for me. I understand how difficult it can be to have someone else care for your pets when you have to be away. Keeping them happy, engaged and safe is what I’m best at! Lots of one on one time 😊 Playing outside, whether it be walking or hitting my local dog park, is one of my favorite things to do. With this summer heat, there will also be plenty of indoor play and mind engaging activities to enjoy as well. Snuggles and belly rubs are always on the table! I am a full time online student with plenty of time and attention to give your furry family members! I am an early riser and love a good walk or short hike to start the day off. This is my full time job so I will be there with your pet day and night! My only desire is to leave you and your pet fully satisfied with the time we spend together! That means any amount of time and attention they may need is what I’m happily available to offer. My “happy place” is with animals of all kinds so this really is just about making new furry friends for me and having some fun along the way 😊
About: I have grown up around all types of animals. It is my passion to care for them and make sure they feel loved. I go the extra mile to make sure everything is good! :) I am currently unemployed, so I have a lot of time to care for pets. Of course not 24/7 because I need to love and care for my Marty! But, my availability is pretty open. I don’t currently allow other pets to come into my home, but I am able to stop by your home, if needed to check on/feed the pets.
“This was my first time using a service like Rover. Shelby was very patient and helpful with making sure I and my dogs were set and safe while I was away. She was very attentive to my pets and gave them lots of love. Although my dogs are on the lazy side, she still made the effort to try to play and give them some stimulation during the 30 minute drop in's.”

About: I have been taking care of cats and dogs for about 10 years. I spent a number of years in California as a foster for an animal shelter where I took care of dogs of all ages. I have experience taking care of pets with varied medical needs. I have three small dogs of my own all under 8 lbs, so my home is perfect for socializing your pet. We are cat and dog friendly. I am retired schoolteacher, so I am home full time and available seven days a week. Your pets will get a lot of individual attention. I have a small fenced yard, a large front porch and two friendly dogs under 8 lbs. My home is perfect for socialization, and I will give your pet a lot of attention. I can easily crate your animal if preferred.
About: I’ve always had a huge heart for animals! As a proud pet parent to four dogs, I have firsthand experience caring for different breeds, personalities, and individual needs. My experience also extends to fostering kittens, caring for community cats, and helping animals who need extra love and patience. I’m comfortable with everything from energetic pups to senior pets who need a gentler approach. I understand how important routines, patience, and attention are when caring for animals. Whether your pet needs playtime, companionship, or a little extra TLC, I’ll treat them with the same love and care I give my own. 🐾❤️ I work a full-time hybrid schedule, which gives me some flexibility to incorporate pet care into my routine. I’m available for pet care around my work commitments, including evenings and weekends, with additional flexibility on certain weekdays. I value reliability and communication, so I’ll always make sure we’re on the same page about scheduling and your pet’s needs before confirming a booking! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priorities! As a pet parent myself, I know how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member in someone else’s care. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions. I’ll always respect your home, follow your care preferences, and provide updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. I believe in creating a calm, loving, and stress-free experience where every animal feels safe, respected, and cared for. 🐾

“Overall, satisfactory. I booked one or two days prior to leaving for a 20 hour trip and needing drop in visits for my pups. Piper responded in less than 5 minutes and was able to come over to greet the pups before I left out of town. She made sure the pups had enough time running around and play time while visiting. She took photos of the time they shared and was very respectful to me and my time while also checking on my trip. I believe the pups had a great time too! I highly recommend!”

“I can't praise Kristen enough! I have a rescue dog who was literally trapped in the Tonto National Forest 3 months ago and is extremely fearful and timid, along with being a flight risk. Kristen is the only sitter we interviewed who knew right away how to skillfully handle and interact with Lavender. Not only that but she arrived timely and adhered to Lavender's schedule perfectly. She is amazing and I highly recommend her!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Surprise is $18 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $1 and $31 per visit. 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.
As of November 2026, there are 5,208 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Surprise. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
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.
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 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Surprise. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
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.
