“Rachel did a wonderful job as always watching our senior dog. She’s great with communication, updates, and sends lots of photos on each visit. We really appreciate all the attention and care she provides while we are away.”

“Patricia was very responsive and communicative. She came over before our vacation to review the details for caring for the cats. She's gentle and very familiar with cats. I would definitely recommend her.”

“Ander was awesome with my dog! Very responsive and patient. And left really great notes after each drop in visit that made me feel confident my little pup was in great hands while I was away.”

“As usual wonderful service! We love having Alba taking care of our 'kids'. Love the daily pictures. We have complete trust in Alba. We have already rebooked for our next trip! My husband and I highly recommend Alba!”

“Brin was so sweet and we know she took great care of our kitties! She was observant and attentive to our boys, and made sure to let us know how they were both doing after each visit. We would certainly book with Brin again!”

“Juliette watched our puppy after her spay and made sure to adjust activities accordingly. She is absolutely amazing and someone you can trust for all your fur-baby needs!”

About: I am fully insured for services provided using PCI and I also have a fingerprint clearance with the Arizona DPS. I’m a volunteer with Hope of Deliverance dog rescue and I work with them to foster, train, and adopt out dogs. I am also a member of the Tucson Action Team. Formerly, I was a trainer for Petco but I have branched out on my own. I have been training for two years now. I focus on nervous system resets and teaching animals to regulate their emotions combined with essential obedience cues for safety. I’m happy to assist with trick training and heelwork as well. I am also able to train cats. I’m happy to walk and run with high energy dogs, dogs who pull, and dogs who struggle with behavioral issues as well as do drop-in visits for dogs, cats, and some exotic animals. I am a full-time trainer, sitter, and dog walker. My day revolves around your pets until it revolves around my own and any fosters I have at the time! I use a combination of my experience training and volunteering to keep dogs safe, comfortable, and calm during services! How I care for your pets really depends on what their daily routine is. I do my best to keep them as close to a normal day as possible when it comes to routines during drop-ins and walks.
“Cerise is an amazing person ! My cat absolutely felt safe and absolutely loved her company. If you are looking for someone to look after your pets , don't look any further - Cerise is the best !”

“Maggie went above and beyond! My kitty Pudgy clearly loved spending time with her, and Maggie spent the time to get to understand her and how to trick her into taking her pills (hero!). I came home to a clean house and a happy kitty.”

“LauraAnne was great. Would always answer text and update me on my cats. Very friendly and was able to meet up with me before she began her visits. Would recommend and will be using again if the need arises.”

About: Hello, I’m Erica—a dedicated Tucson pet caregiver with 20 years of loving experience. Whether your furry friend enjoys cozy snuggles at home or thrilling outdoor adventures, I adapt to what makes each pet happiest. As pet parents often note, I’m “available on short notice,” respond quickly, and always send heartfelt daily messages with photos. My goal is to ensure both pets and their humans feel relaxed and supported. From neighborhood strolls and hiking trails to comfortable downtime with belly rubs—your pup’s comfort and happiness are my priority. I’d love to meet your companion and craft a stay full of joy, care, and peace of mind. Boarding is open all week long, so your pet always has a safe, loving place to stay. I also offer weekend drop-ins for potty breaks, meals, or playtime. While I work weekdays 8–5, I do my best to accommodate special requests—just message me and we’ll work it out! I have a small, fenced backyard for your pet to explore and one large dog and a cat to keep your pet company. I can easily crate your dog if needed as well.
“Sara did an amazing job taking care of our kitties! This was our first time having someone watch them while we were away and Sara made us feel so at ease. Our cats loved her and we received daily pictures and updates. Thank you Sara!!!”

“My pups had an amazing time with Calyx's drop ins. Her rates are more than reasonable, she's absolutely reliable, communicates perfectly, arrives on time, and definitely takes care of their business both inside and outside. Her patience and knowledge caring for my shy pup was stellar. Her profile and reviews are spot on, I'd rebook her anytime for my fur babies in my absence. We thank you again for an awesome job done!”

“Alaina has been a great sitter for our two cats! I really enjoyed her updates and has been a great communicator! I definitely recommend her and look forward to booking her again😊”

About: Growing up in rural Delaware, we always had at least one family dog who we took on long off-leash walks and played fetch and tag with in our big backyard. Having so much space allowed for the opportunity to connect, bond with, and read our dogs while they were having tons of fun and just being themselves. Fun Fact: I used to volunteer at my hometown SPCA, where I got to learn and play with over 40 different dogs. About my dogs: In 2013, I adopted Minnie. For twelve years, she has been my hiking partner, shot gun rider, and my little spoon. In 2022, I found Olive on the side of the road in west Tucson as a victim of abuse and neglect. She has long since healed and recovered into a total sweetheart (see photos). I genuinely enjoy helping pet parents feel safe and reassured while their pets are in my care. I’ll keep you updated with clear communication and daily photos and videos so you’re always in the loop. I understand that your pet has their own unique personality, and I look forward to learning about them and making sure the have a safe, enjoyable time until their humans return home 🤍🐾 I work another job which requires me to be out of town Tues-Thurs from March-December 12, 2025. During this time I am able to care for pets Friday-Monday. From Dec 12, 2025-March 3, 2026, I have an open schedule for pet care. During our meet and greet, I will take notes on your pets daily routine and household things, then mirror that to the best of my ability, ensuring lots of pets, treats, walks and play time!
“Leah is an exceptional sitter. She visited Tucker every single day as promised and always sent a photo, which became the little heartbeat of my trip. Her care, consistency, and kindness let me enjoy my time away knowing my fur baby was safe, happy, and in gentle hands. I felt completely at ease, and that peace of mind is priceless. I recommend Leah without hesitation.”

“El was so sweet and a wonderful sitter for my kitty over the weekend. Excellent communication and lots of photos in the daily updates. I came back to a very tidy apartment and happy cat. I would definitely book her again!”

“Colby was super kind & responsive, giving our cat all the love and cuddles she needed while we were gone. We really appreciated the detailed updates and pictures. Will definitely book again!”

Avondale pet parents share their Rover experiences
Katie met us and our dogs a few weeks before the sit and visited with us again a few days prior to the sit. Our dogs loved her right away. She checked in on them at the specified times and stayed to pet and play with them. Katie took and posted pictures each time she dropped in. I definitely recommend her. Thank you so much Katie!

Josie has been the sweetest find since moving to Tucson! It means so much to find someone that I can trust to watch my dog while I’m at work. It really brings so much peace of mind! My dog can be a little nervous and shy, and Josie was always patient with her and continued to give me updates on how well Pig has warmed up to her! This to me shows how patient she is and how much she actually cares! I cannot recommend Josie enough for anyone in the Tucson area!

Sonya was such a blessing! I had such a wonderful experience with Sonya as our dog walker for Lilo and Odin while on a work trip! She took care of my pups for three days, providing walks throughout the day, feedings, plenty of love and pets, and even worked on some training. Her communication through the Rover app was fantastic, and I really appreciated the regular updates. It was clear how much Lilo and Odin adored her from how happy they were in the photos she uploaded. I would 100% book Sonya again, even if it's just for a "hello" walk because of how much my dogs loved her. Highly recommend!

Ash was amazing with our two cats! She was very communicative, sent great pictures, and spent the time to get to know the two during our meet and greet especially their slightly complicated feeding routine. Both our cats were super relaxed and seemed to barely notice we were gone when we came back!
