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!
“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!”
“Krysten did a fantastic job with my 2 dogs. She was professional and prompt. She provided me with pictures each day and details about the visits. I highly recommend her and will definitely be a repeat customer when the time comes!”
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.
“Faith took excellent care of my two cats. She was patient and took care to put them at ease. I felt completely confident they were being well cared for while I was out of town. I would hire her again in a heartbeat!”
About: I have had animals of all kinds since i can remember. I have taken care of dogs mostly but have experience with cats, bunnies, ferrets and even chickens and horses. I am a stay at home mom to a 2.5 year old little boy. Just trying to make some extra money for my family doing something I love and helping out pet parents in need! I will be sure to follow all rules, I am very diligent about what a dog needs as I have a couple senior dogs at home that take special care (vitamins etc).
“Stevie was able to accommodate my last minute booking request, provided flexible scheduling, and took great care of my cat taking memorable photos of her. I am grateful to Stevie for watching my cat during an unexpected trip and certainly will rebook her if need be!”
“Thanks to Dani for making my weekend getaway a relaxing one, free from the stress of leaving my fur kids. I appreciated her daily check in’s which put me at ease knowing they were in good hands. I will definitely use Rover/Dani during my next vacation.”
“Patricia was truly amazing, and I couldn’t be more grateful for her care. She took extra time to help my dog warm up and feel safe, which meant everything to me. My pup was extremely difficult at first, but Patricia was so patient, gentle, and kind- never rushed, never discouraged. She went above and beyond by taking my dog on long walks, giving medication exactly as requested, and even working with her on training (she helped her learn to lay down!). The constant photo updates were so reassuring and showed just how much love and attention she was giving. It’s clear Patricia genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such thoughtful, capable hands. Thank you so much, Patricia — you’re incredible, and I would trust you again in a heartbeat!”
“Issy listened to my needs when tending to my senior cat I even asked her to come over to my house since it been some time since she had watched my cats so I could go over my instructions on feeding my senior cat .my cat is a very difficult one takes forever to eat and has to be watched due to the other cat always wants to eat her food she sits for two cats one senior and one youngster the youngsters very outgoing and friendly while the senior is very shy I was happy to find out that my senior cat ate well while I was gone and even allowed her by the end of the three days for her to give her some love I appreciate her listening i baby my cats like they were my children and I appreciate her doing the same definitely Book her”
“Dina was wonderful. She's very personable which made for a fun meet-n-greet! Not only did she do a great job caring for my two boys but she took on other little tasks like bringing the newspaper and cleaning the food storage containers every day. I would definitely hire her again as my pet sitter! :)”

“Tonya was awesome watching my two kitties over the holidays. Punctual, friendly, and great with my pets. Did a good job with the care instructions left. She provided a new note and photos after each visit letting me know how they were doing. Great with communication too. Wonderful sitter overall. I recommend!”
About: I am an experienced pet caregiver, and in another life I was a veterinary assistant. I currently work part-time (2-3 days a week) in retail, so I want to spread love and care to all pets big and small! As of right now I am available every day, including weekends, from early mornings to late nights. I have reliable transportation to and from your homes as needed or in case of any emergency. I can offer long walks and play time for your furry friends! I can work with both dogs and cats who require medications such as insulin, transdermal medications, any other oral medications and other special care during home visits and boarding situations. I do not have any breed restrictions and hope to see dogs of all shapes and sizes, and I can walk even the heaviest of dogs. I currently work full time from home. I have a fenced in backyard for potty breaks and easily accessible walking trails by my home that I love utilizing. I live in a 3 bedroom home with my partner and a roommate. We are all animal lovers and love to play. While I am the main caregiver in the home, I am in competition for main cuddler.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Surprise
Kylea took such sweet care of my two kitties while I was away! They loved all the neck scratchies and extra love she gave them and she even looked after my plant babies 🌱 She was reliable and has many animals herself so she is clearly a fellow animal lover!! 🫶🏻
We had such a great experience with Patty! She was so communicative, sent us lots of updates and photos, and made us feel completely comfortable leaving our 3 large, rambunctious dogs with her. 🐶❤️ After just moving to Phoenix, we’re so grateful to have found someone who is reliable, trustworthy, and clearly loves what she does. We’ll definitely be booking with Patty again!
This is the second time I've used Savannah to watch my two cats. It's nice to know they are in such great hands while I'm away - I don't worry about them at all. She takes the time to interact with them and treat them as I would. I would highly recommend her to anyone!
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. 🩷
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 $17.12 per visit (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 5,430 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
- 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.
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.
