“So grateful Dani came by when she did. She alerted me to a change in Cooper’s appearance and I was able to come home earlier than expected and get Cooper treated for a reaction to a bee sting. We are lucky to be able to use Dani’s services and appreciate her thoroughness and attention to detail with our boys! Thanks Dani!”
“I couldn't be more pleased with the care and attention Tamara provided Laddie my nice but barky kinda shy Sheltie. Tamara was very attentive and desirous to make sure Laddie was comfortable and not stressed out. I highly recommend Tamara and will request her to care for my 4-legged boy any time I need to go away without him. Thanks Stan and Laddie”

“I am so happy that I found Faith! My pug took an immediate liking to her, so I knew everything would be fine. Faith is a great person to work with. We did a meet and greet yesterday and she took care of my pug today. She is very personable and just a lovely person. She was on time and took extra time to tell me about her visit. I really appreciate having met Faith, and now I know I can leave my little guy in outstanding care when I need to be away. I recommend her highly!!!! 5 stars+++++++!”

“Dina was very reliable, caring and an effective communicator before, during and after 6-day check ins with my cat. I had full confidence in her during that time period (which included admin of medication) that my cat was well cared for. I will use Dina’s services for any future need.”
About: *IMPORTANT SUMMER INFO* I do not walk dogs when temps are over 95 during the day. I will walk up to 100 degrees when the sun is not out (early morning or after sunset). Walks will change to drop-ins (no change in price) if temps exceed this. We are a dog loving family and welcome small to medium size dogs for doggy daycare. Pam is available for dog walking and drop-ins on weekdays. For daycare, we have 3 resident dogs who will welcome your pooch to the pack, so yours should be good with other dogs. Our backyard is fully fenced, with a pool that your pup can cool off in. **The dogs are fully supervised any time they have access to the pool.** Pam works solely from home and Joe works in ministry just two miles away. Our schedules allow us to show your fur baby a great time and all the love and attention it will need while you are away for the day. Please let us know if you have any questions about your pup's needs. We look forward to welcoming them to our pack! ~Pam & Joe Why I love dog sitting I grew up with cats but fell in love with dogs when I got my first one, Maggie, in my twenties. Maggie was a Sheltie and was my companion through a lot of life's ups and downs. In 2010, I adopted Snickers & Itty Bitty, a malkie and care-tzu. Maggie, Snickers and Itty Bitty all lived to 15 years old, but we would have loved many more years with them. We now have Toby, a small mixed breed who is 10, Lucky, a Maltipoo, who was rehomed to us, and Ginger, a cavapoo princess who we were blessed to find through a rescue. About my yard Our backyard is fully fenced and landscaped. We have a pool and your dog is welcome to swim, or cool off on the baja step, if they like. We have a grass side yard that is a designated potty area for the pups. Pam works part-time from home and Joe works just 2 miles away. While Pam is home working, our 3 resident fur babies are never far away, sometimes even sleeping on her lap or desk. We have a gate that keeps dogs from accessing the front door. Our front door and back doors both have security screens, so if we open the door they can't run out. Our back yard is fully fenced and double fenced on the one side that opens to the front yard/street.
“Savannah is amazing! I had her feed and check in on my cats for about 5 days while I was out of town. She did great and her updates kept me at ease while I was away. She even went above and beyond to clean up an unexpected mess. I could easily tell my cats warmed up to her which told me they had no issues with her either. Looking forward to hiring Savannah again next time I’m away!”
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.
“Annabella was awesome! She came into my home to check on my dog Bear and handled everything perfectly, even though it was her first time meeting him and being in my house. Bear can be a little unsure at first, but he warmed up to her quickly which says a lot. She was super friendly, easy to communicate with, and made the whole process feel really comfortable. I really appreciated the update and the photo she sent too. I’d definitely trust her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and great with their pet!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember, and my lifelong love for pets is what sets me apart! I have experience with dogs of all sizes, from small breeds to giant breeds, and with dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs. In addition to pet sitting for family and friends, I have volunteered with both the Humane Society and AZ Guinea Pigs, giving me experience caring for dogs, cats, and small animals. I believe that the bond between pets and their owners is built on genuine love, trust, and loyalty, and I strive to provide that same love and care when looking after other’s pets. I bond quickly with animals and love spending time with them, whether that means going on walks, playing, cuddling, or simply keeping them company. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their real favorites are away! As a recent high school graduate, I have plenty of free time to devote to caring for your pets while you’re away or busy! I am available on both weekdays and weekends, with the greatest flexibility in the evenings. However, I am also available for morning visits and am happy to work with owners to accommodate their pets’ schedules and needs whenever possible :) Your pets safety and comfort are my top priorities. I understand that every pet has unique needs, routines, and personalities, so I always take the time to follow care instructions carefully and ensure pets feel comfortable and secure in my care. I believe in maintaining a calm, positive, and loving environment while providing plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship. I also value clear communication and am happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“First time using Rover with Mindy chosen for stop in visits for our two dogs. Went great, complete piece of mind about leaving our dogs and house open to Mindy. Mindy communicated via Rover emails a long with multiple photos of our pups with each visit. Thank you Mindy and appreciate you.”
“Heather always takes great care of our pups and was quick to respond to a last-minute request! She is always very communicative, with lots of photos and updates, and on time! We will continue to reach out to her when we need a dog sitter - thank you, Heather!”
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.
“Krysten was an excellent cat sitter! She was always on time and very flexible. I had to make adjustments to her schedule due to medication issues with my cat and she was very accommodating. I came home and found that my girls were very well cared for. I appreciate Krysten for watching them and I would definitely book her again!”

Im so grateful to Issy taking care of my babies. I have a regular babysitter who is gone for the summer and am always nervous to trust someone new but she honestly exceeded my expectations and I just booked her again for next month. The thorough updates she provides really puts me at ease and I was surprised that even my most timid kitty warmed up to her immediately. 🩷
I left my cats for the first time for nine days and was quite worried. Savannah went over and above when taking care of them. She sent pictures and updates every day. I came back to very happy cats – – I’m sure they will miss her. If you ever need an animal assistant sitter, Savannah is the one to call. Thank you so much!
Sage was a wonderful pet sitter to my cat. It was for a few checkins over a 1.5 week timeframe and she showed up on time reliably for every check in. She went above and beyond taking care of my cat including litter box cleaning and verifying he had plenty of food and water. The cat gets lonely if we're gone for too long so she was able to provide him great company. Definitely recommend!
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 for Pet Sitting in Surprise on Rover is $17.76 per visit (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of June 2026, there are 5,284 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Surprise. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% 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.
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.
