“Sharon is a very warm, down-to-earth person. My 16 yo rescue dog, Fawn was very well taken care of. I was happy & lucky to find someone willing to stay in my home with my dog. Fawn has lost some vision and hearing so she does better in a familiar place. I appreciated getting photos and updates on my pup. I could completely relax and enjoy my 2-week vacation with family and friends, knowing my old girl was safe and loved. Sharon has a lot of experience with dogs from the years she had a business taking care of people’s dogs in her own home when her clients were away. I highly recommend Sharon!”
“Katelyn watched my dog at my house for a few days and she was so amazing! She contacted me if she had any questions and even sent me some pictures and videos while I was away! It was my first time leaving my dog for multiple days but Katelyn took such good care of her I didn’t worry at all. She even left a schedule of each day which was awesome. I can’t say enough good things! She was awesome.”
“Charli took care of my. 14 year old Yorkie with health problems. She had to give him 3 pills twice daily and treat him with care. She did a great job and returned him to me in great shape.”
“Caryln was amazing taking care of our dog, Cassie. She communicated with us throughout the day and sent plenty of pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. She arrived promptly, was incredibly sweet and friendly, and treated Cassie with genuine care. We will definitely be booking Caryln again for future sittings.”
“Madelyn worked so well with us caring for an older, very timid and highly nervous cat. She was able to extend her booking time on our request with no notice and was very diligent about communicating and sending pictures. We always felt in the loop. We will definitely use Madelyn again!”
“Alexandra was exactly what we were hoping for in a house and pet sitter. We live in a rather remote, rural area and she was comfortable with those challenges. She handled additional chores of watering gardens and feeding our wild birds and bats. Her daily reports and photos were appreciated, and communication was always timely. My husband returned home before I did and he reported that everything had been well tended and the home and property were super clean and tidy. And on top of all this, Alexandra is a delightful person, gentle and kind and she gave Rowdy all the love, attention and walks that he demands!! We have struggled to find capable sitters willing to go the (literal) extra miles to stay here and provide the care needed and are thrilled to have found Alexandra! We won't be going anywhere without her.....”
About: Hi! Available for (much of) Santa Cruz and Cochise Counties, including Ft Huachuca. I grew up on a farm, worked at a vet clinic, and have always had animals and pets when my life permitted. I have a passion for our furry "family members" as well as learning all different types of animal behavior. Dogs, cats, horses, cows, donkeys, fish, and even took care of a camel a time or two. My professional and athletic life has taken me around the world, and frankly, caring for pets of family, friends and neighbors throughout the years has still always been a most gratifying highlight! I have the patience and energy to match dogs of all temperaments, so let me know how I can support you and your family! If my profile is visible, it means I have plenty of time to help out with your furry family members, be it pet-sitting, walking, or just checking in on them. I have a highly-flexible schedule and a vehicle large enough to crate/transport if needed. As far as housesitting, depending on the proximity, would be flexible on either daily check-in and/or possibly overnights. Please reach out in advance to discuss. I live on a large ranch but do prefer to keep them leashed when walking (until I know they heel well AND to keep YOU more confident). I'm flexible on this based on consults with you. They would sleep indoors, and if you prefer, I could easily crate as well. Non-smoking home. You can bet I'll treat them as my own!
About: I can handle crazy, calm, anxious and any and all dogs, Because I've grown up around dogs and cats, I know animals well. I know the difference between fear and aggression and how to read body language I'm good to work any days and nights as a general rule. I am a caregiver for people with disabilities but that's typically an overnight shift. I can feed, walk, and play with any animals in your home and can stay overnight most nights. I don't have the means to house any though.
About: I have been a pet parent to lots of different types of furry, scaly, and feathered kids. We had a guinea pig that died at 8yo. I had a pot belly pig who thought he was an alligator, I got his thought he was a dog who had to go on the walks with the dogs twice a day. Twice a day sometimes three times a day I would take four dogs a goat and a pig for a walk. I work on an as needed basis and right now I am not needed so I am home. So when ever you need your fur baby checked on. Or need someone to either stay with them or somewhere for them to stay I am available. Do you not see pets as pets pets are family members. And because of this I will treat them as family members. My cats right now have beds at every room in the house. I make sure that they get some outside time to get sunshine I am growing them fresh grass every day inside along with fresh catnip they get new water three times a day. And when they start meowing at me I am literally stopping everything I am doing to go see what they need or want. And one cat likes to play the jealous game so she likes to be picked up and held like a baby trying to get my son her kid to pay attention to her.
“Amy was super attentive and caring towards our sweet boy. Great communicator as well as fantastic at sending a few photos and updates while we were gone…that gave us peace of mind knowing he was in good hands and we could fully enjoy our time away. We fully trust her and will book again in the future. Thank you so much, Amy!”
“Jasmine was wondeful!! Our animals love her and had a great time while we were away. Jasmine was great about communicating with us while we were gone, and the house was just how we left it. I highly recommend Jasmine!”
About: With 6 years of experience working with dogs, I'm confident in my ability to provide great care and attention to dogs/cats.

I would also volunteer at a farm and My experience at the farm has taught me the importance of patience and adaptability when working with animals of all temperaments. I'm eager to bring my skills and enthusiasm to love and provide exceptional care to any and all animals in my care I truly will love them as my own I work part time from 2:00/6:00 Monday to Friday as a after school teacher so spending time with furry friends is a good way to start and end my days I provide free bath time and very comfortable and flexible with any accommodations or request also love to do daily and play time walks and belly rubs

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 Canelo 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 Canelo 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Canelo 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
