“Monica was GREAT! She showed up a few minutes early which I appreciated since it was our first meeting. She was organized and listened (without judgment) about my quirky Tibetan Terrier who has separation anxiety. She sent photos during the short visit, which wasn’t really necessary but showed her diligence and caring. Will definitely ask her back!”

About: About Me 😸 Hi, I'm Maggie! I bring extensive, professional hands-on veterinary industry (including ER) experience to every pet I care for. For me, pet sitting isn't a hobby—it is a commitment to providing the absolute highest standard of safety, comfort, and specialized care. Whether your dog needs a high-energy walking partner or your senior cat requires a gentle, patient companion, I tailor my routine entirely to your pet's unique personality and medical needs. Why Choose Me? • Advanced Medical Knowledge: With my veterinary background, I am completely comfortable administering oral medications, topical treatments, and injections. I can expertly read animal body language to spot subtle signs of stress, discomfort, or medical changes before they become issues. • Special Needs & Senior Care Experts: I welcome senior pets, puppies, and animals recovering from surgery or managing chronic illnesses. I know exactly how to maintain strict care schedules. • Safety First, Always: My industry experience means I treat emergency preparedness as a top priority. You will receive regular, detailed updates and photo check-ins so you can enjoy your time away with 100% peace of mind. Please reach out with any questions or to schedule a Meet & Greet! Because pet care is my primary focus, your pet will never be left alone for long periods. • Boarding / House Sitting: I maintain a consistent, predictable routine. Pets are never left unattended for more than 2 to 4 hours at a time, ensuring plenty of potty breaks, mental stimulation, and companionship. • Drop-Ins / Walks: I offer flexible scheduling windows throughout the day. I arrive promptly within our agreed-upon time frame so your pet's feeding and medication schedule remains perfectly on track. Safety and respect for your property are my absolute highest priorities. I treat your home with the utmost care and maintain strict safety protocols to ensure your pets remain secure and comfortable in their own familiar environment: • Home Security & Vigilance: I strictly follow your locking preferences, arm security alarms precisely as instructed, and ensure all windows and gates are securely closed before leaving or going to sleep. I keep a low profile to ensure your home looks occupied and secure. • Escaping Prevention: I am incredibly vigilant about "door-darting." I use careful entry and exit barriers to ensure pets never have the opportunity to slip outside accidentally. During walks, dogs are always kept on secure, reliable leashes—never off-leash in unsecured areas. • Health & Behavioral Monitoring: I perform daily, subtle health checks (monitoring appetite, energy levels, and bathroom habits). Because of my professional background, I can spot the earliest signs of stress, bloat, or discomfort and act immediately. • Emergency Preparedness: I keep the contact information for your primary veterinarian and the nearest 24/7 emergency pet hospital easily accessible. If an unexpected home issue arises (like a leak or power outage), I will handle it calmly and contact you immediately.

“Laura is so good at what she does! I appreciated the photo and video updates each day that we were gone, not only because I missed my fur babies, but it was obvious they were being loved on while I was away. They really loved having her with them, especially during several monsoon storms that blew through. The house was in order and clean when we got home. We will definitely be calling on Laura in the future. She was a blessing to our family!”

About: current pets: 2 hermit crabs (5yrs), frenchie mix rescue (1yr) previous: dogs - newfie, black lab, husky, chihuahua. cats - several, mostly of stray lineage i have experience giving general meds to cats and dogs ie pills, eye drops, even with the most finicky of cats! not afraid of getting scratched either, it happens especially with meds. Your pets’ needs will always be met under my care and I am fully transparent with my pricing & tech savvy; if you have any questions during the booking or issues with the Rover system, never hesitate to ask questions about any of the aforementioned topics! *if you are 20+ miles round trip from my home (10 miles away) a service fee of 15 will be added to the booking upon initial request* I am typically fully available on weekends as I am a cleaning lady during Mon-Fri 8am-5pm, let me know if you are interested in cleaning services as well! I also respond very quickly most of the time, especially if I have/am around your pet (unless we are becoming best buds and we are distracted) Rover card always includes pictures. I usually message an ETA before I arrive in case of alarm systems or similar. When in your home, I follow the care plan and instructions given to a T and ask questions if necessary/applicable, door is always locked behind me upon entering. Check for messes, follow routine; my only deviation I typically do is adding (filtered, and if possible) water to the pets food, dehydration is very common in AZ. And most pets love it, highly recommend it! I also clean bowls, take out trash, and wipe down countertops. Double check all doors and windows are secure/not broken and that AC is working before locking up and heading out.

“Rachel was great, and we will use her again. Our dog (Seggie) warmed up to her very fast, I could tell from the pictures, the fact that Seggie was eating regularly and that Seggie played ball and even sang with Rachel that there was no stress going on. It is so important to us that when we are away Seggie isn't having a hard time. This was a good fit for us. I will say too that all Rover sitters are excellent! All our experiences with the Rover team has been above and beyond.”

I feel like Jonathan was very good with my dogs. He was with them for 5 days. Both my labradoodles like him. I think he has a kind spirit. That was my main concern. Joathan was good on the job. Dog run was clear. house looked good, Kitchen was clean, all bedding was in the laundry room........What's not to like! J

We were honestly pretty nervous about using a dog sitter for the first time, especially since our house was a bit of a disaster before our weekend trip to Universal Studios. From the moment we met her, though, she made us feel completely comfortable and never made us feel judged or awkward about anything. She was absolutely amazing with our dogs — patient, caring, attentive, and clearly someone who truly loves animals. We got updates while we were away, and it was obvious our dogs were happy, relaxed, and very well cared for. By the end of the weekend, they absolutely adored her! It made such a huge difference being able to enjoy our trip knowing our dogs were in such good hands. We’re so grateful for the care she gave them and would absolutely trust her again in the future. Highly recommend!

FAQs for House Sitting - Surprise

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Surprise is $50 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $122 per night. 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 3,605 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Surprise. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:

  • Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
  • Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
  • Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
  • Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.

The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Surprise walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Surprise maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:

  • Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
  • Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
  • Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.

Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!

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!

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.

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.

If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.

Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.

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.

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.

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.
