“Had a great experience with this Lauren for drop-in visits for my two dogs! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about my pets. I appreciated the updates and photos—it gave me real peace of mind while I was away. My dogs were happy and well taken care of. I’ll definitely book with Lauren again!”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and small animals, including feeding, walking, administering basic care, cleaning, playtime, and maintaining consistent routines. I’m comfortable with pets of varying temperaments, including anxious or shy animals who may need extra patience and reassurance. I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and attentive, and I always aim to provide a calm, loving environment while pet parents are away. My schedule is currently flexible, which allows me to provide attentive care and accommodate a variety of pet routines and needs. I’m available for weekdays, weekends, and most holidays, and I make communication and consistency a priority while caring for pets. The safety and well-being of every pet in my care is my top priority. I create a calm, secure, and supervised environment where pets can feel comfortable and relaxed while their owners are away. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medication instructions (if applicable), and any specific care needs. I pay close attention to behavior and body language so I can quickly respond to any signs of stress or discomfort. I always ensure pets are safely supervised during visits and walks, use secure leashes/harnesses when outside, and keep a clean, pet-friendly environment at all times. I also provide regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. Trust and communication are very important to me, and I treat every pet and home with respect, care, and responsibility.
“Our fur babies love Laura. She is very kind and responsible. We can now feel comfortable in leaving our dogs for a bit knowing Laura is here to care for them. We highly recommend Laura.”
“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!”
“Mary Ann treats your pets as if they were her own. I trust her fully with my fur baby. She’s a delight and sends pictures and updates on how my good boy is doing so I’m not worried. I know my dog is in good hands with her. I highly recommend her to anyone and everyone!”
About: I raised our family golden retriever from 8 weeks old who is now up in MN living with my sister! She is like my baby, and that’s how I see animals. To me animals are not pets, they are individuals 🩵 Other than that I am looking to grow experience and just make some more animal friends! I do have intermediate experience with high level training as her purpose was to be a service dog. I am self employed, so can work from anywhere at anytime, and can fit my schedule around things very easily! Since I am my own boss, walking or stopping in to see your furry friend is a very wonderful break for me 😊 When I was raising our family’s golden retriever, there was a designated “Daisy Time” scheduled throughout the day. She got a great walk that was slow so she could smell whatever she wants, and go as long as she wanted, 10 minute training, cuddle time until she didn’t want to anymore, and focused play time for at least 20 minutes. I also always made sure she could be near me while working, and I trained her to ring a bell whenever she needed to go potty!

About: What sets me apart is that I’ve been around dogs my whole life, so I’m very comfortable reading their behavior and adjusting to their needs. I have experience with dog sitting and walking, and I’ve cared for a mix of personalities, from energetic puppies to more laid-back or older dogs. I’m also used to handling larger breeds, including dogs like German Shepherds, and I have one of my own. That’s made me confident with stronger dogs and more structured routines, whether that’s walks, basic training reinforcement, or just keeping things consistent for them. I have experience with younger pets as well, helping with things like potty routines and basic habits, and I’m patient with senior dogs who need a slower pace or a little extra attention. Overall, I try to keep things simple—making sure pets are safe, comfortable, and sticking to the routine they’re used to. Pet care fits into my routine in a structured but flexible way. I’m available most mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends, with set commitments Tuesday–Thursday (7am–1pm and 5pm–8pm). I’m a single parent to an infant, so I do bring my daughter with me. She’s very calm, and I plan bookings carefully to make sure I can give both your pet and my child a safe, attentive environment. I also use public transportation, so I focus on locations I can reliably get to and be on time for. I provide care in your home so your pet can stay in a familiar, comfortable environment. I follow your routine closely, including feeding, walks, and any specific instructions you have. Walks are done in your neighborhood or pre-approved areas to keep things consistent and safe. I do bring my daughter with me. She has been around both small and large pets and is learning and practicing gentle, respectful pet manners. I always supervise interactions to make sure everyone stays safe and comfortable.
About: I grew up surrounded by pets! I helped a lot as a kid with a relative who bred and cared for dogs. I’ve been paid and hired by multiple families previously to care and watch for their fur babies and it’s been a joy every time! I’ve even given pets medicine before with pills and even shots. Caring for a pet comes natural for me! I am currently a full time university student at ASU as a commuter. I have school Monday-Thursday but am still available in the afternoon, and I am always free on the weekends. I prioritize every pet’s safety by following routines, reading body language, and creating a calm, positive environment. I use secure leashes, safe walking routes, and gentle handling to build trust so pets feel comfortable, confident, and cared for at all times. It’s my pleasure to be able to walk these cute pups!

I’m also comfortable with energetic puppies, shy cats, and senior pets that need extra attention and patience. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always focus on making them happy and stress-free. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and staying active. I’m organized with my schedule and make sure pets get the attention, walks, feeding, playtime, and care they need throughout the day. Whether it’s early morning walks, check-ins during the day, or evening care, I’m reliable and consistent with routines. I also enjoy being outdoors and active, so taking dogs on walks or spending time playing with pets is something I look forward to every week. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible.

I also keep the home clean and respectful by cleaning up after pets, maintaining litter boxes if needed, and following any specific instructions the owner provides. I understand every pet has a different personality and routine, so I always try to give them patient, reliable, and personalized care in the environment they’re most comfortable in.
“Laura is awesome! She is super communicative, kind and so attentive to our fur babies and their needs. Loved the photos she sent, too. Laura was flexible and very understanding throughout our booking. When we were unreachable during our trip, she coordinated with our neighbors as needed. Highly recommend and so grateful for her services!”

Savannah was great and my dog loved her. She fed him, played with him and his squeeky toys and lots of petting and belly rubs. My Husky, Hatcher, had been fussy about eating his dog food and Savannah got him to eat his meals. I can recommend Savannah to anyone and will use her again for any future visits.
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!

As of June 2026, there are 5,284 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Surprise. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Surprise. On Rover:

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.
