“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!”

“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.”

About: Our family has had pets in our home for the last 20 years. We currently have one cat and two dogs, who loves having other dogs come to visit. We'll accept dogs for short stays, daycare, and boarding. We have a big backyard that allows for a lot of ball-throwing and running. Your dog will get lots of love and attention during their stay and will not be left alone. Because we work from home, your pet will get potty breaks and outdoor time whenever they want it. We love puppies and are happy to help with potty training. If you have been working with your dog on learning commands, we will continue that training while they stay with us. We'll update you throughout your pet's stay with pictures of what they've been doing. We look forward to making your pet a part of our family. Drop in visits will include feeding, play time, ball throwing, belly rubs, or whatever it is your pup enjoys. I work part time and have a very flexible schedule. I am available to do drop-ins throughout the day between 7:00 am and 8:00 pm. I will follow all instructions that are given to me and will keep your pets on any restrictions or routine that they are accustom to.

I was super impressed with how well she did with Bella, even though our dog had a lot of energy, Laura did great with her. Thank you so much for your time & we appreciate you stepping in to help us while our family was on vacation!!”

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Surprise on Rover is $18 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $32 per visit. 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 October 2026, there are 5,258 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 .

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 , 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 .

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.

  • 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% 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 , 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.
