“This was the first time I chose Jean to watch Winston and I am so glad I found her on the Rover app. She was wonderful!! Sent my pictures and videos of them on walks, playing and resting :). It reassured me that Winston was in very good hands and was happy. Jean is responsible, responsive, loving to my pet, and respectful of my home. I would highly recommend.”

“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!”

“We had a great experience with our dog/house sitter Chuck. He spent a lot of time interacting with the dogs and sent us daily updates and photos to help give us peace of mind while we were away. Our dogs were happy and appeared well cared for when we got home. The house was also clean and well taken care of. We would definitely use Chuck again and recommend him to others!”

“Tonya is amazing. My shy dog Lillie loved her from the minute they met. Tonya sent pictures regularly and my cat and dog looked happy and comfortable. I was able to enjoy my trip better without having to worry.”

“Laura was so amazing. Her first time with Phoebe couldn’t have gone better. Laura sent pictures, playtime and comforted Phoebe during the fireworks. Laura, you can guarantee we will see you again soon. I truly appreciate your help.”

“Dina was a great dog & house sitter. She was able to accommodate our pet's walking schedule and left our home in perfect condition. I would highly recommend her and hope that she will be available for future bookings.”

“Theresa is great. She is super friendly and and accomidating to your needs. She sent updates during my vacation and she spoiled my pups. 😊 I recommend Theresa for your pets needs!”

About: I have taken care of dogs in my home and professionally at a daycare/boarding facility. I am an RN and comfortable with meds and first aid. I will treat your dog like my family! I am currently working on starting my own business taking dogs on excursions to keep cool while playing with other dogs. I love dogs and find great satisfaction taking care of them in the home or outdoors. I will strive to maintain the regular routine for your dog. I help them feel comfortable by doing the same things you would do for them. Meal time, bedtime, walking, pottying, etc. all tend to have a routine, and I will keep that routine while pouring out affection to your dog as if they were my own.
About: I’ve always loved being around animals and have experience caring for both dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I’m dependable, patient, and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I can help with feeding, walks, playtime, basic grooming, cleaning up after pets, giving medications if needed, and keeping pets on their normal routine. 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 make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of attention, exercise, and playtime, and feel comfortable while their owners are away. 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.
“She is fantastic! Trustworthy in my home and with our animals. She went above and beyond with the pictures and videos. We were truly able to enjoy ourselves while on vacation knowing our animals were well taken care of. Highly recommend! We will book with her again!”

“Roger did great with my buddy! He sent pictures while I was gone and was there with him consistently. I was so happy to know that my doggo was with someone as caring as Roger! He even brought him a new toy, which is now his favorite!”


“Kalin did such a great job watching our dogs again. We added a new dog to the pack and there were no issues. Our dogs mean the world to us and it’s great to not worry about them knowing they are in great hands with Kalin!”

“We highly recommend Jessica. She is very sweet and professional. Great communication and took loving care of our clingy poodle. She went above and beyond to locate our home after I made a typo on our address. Will definitely schedule again with Jessica.”

About: I worked in boarding so I have experience caring for all different breeds, ages, special needs, and attitudes of dogs. I also have had 6 dogs total, so I am used to the dog life! I am available anytime! I am very flexible, although afternoons and evenings would be preferred, but both weekends and weekdays are not a problem at all. I am easily accomodating of all preferences for your dogs. Any special diets or playtime schedules are welcome. Every dog is different so just let me know! My dogs get walked 3 times a day and are used to going to the park or even just running around the backyard.
“I can't say enough good things about Charis! She watched my two large, active dogs while I was away, and I was beyond impressed. From the moment I met her, I knew my pups were in great hands. She was clean, interactive, and genuinely engaged with them, making sure they got plenty of exercise and playtime. Throughout my trip, she kept me informed with updates and photos, which put my mind at ease. It’s clear she has a real passion for animals. I came home to happy, well-cared-for dogs, and I couldn’t be more grateful. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter! Thank you, Charis!”


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!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Surprise
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!
Diego stayed at our house and took care of our 2 dogs for about a week and a half. Our dogs loved him! And he provided us regular pictures and updates everyday which we really appreciate. He was super responsive and followed everything we asked of him. Overall excellent dog sitter and will book with him in the future.

FAQs for House Sitting - Surprise
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Surprise on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 3,655 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.

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.
