House Sitting Catalina

“Robyn is a fantastic petsitter and housesitter. She went above and beyond — sending daily updates and pictures of our five pets, and leaving our house cleaner than when we left. (It was a nice surprise to come home to!) Would definitely trust her with our zoo again!”

Amanda K.

“Kaitlyn is AMAZING! She is attentive, follows care directions to a T, and sends pictures/updates often. She was very respectful of our home and went above and beyond to go back to our house very late at night when our flight got canclled. She made sure our girl was not left alone and made every effort to make sure we were not left in a bind since we could not get home as planned. I will use her as often as she is avaliable and reccommend her to everyone- accept the weekends I need her of course!! :)”

“Danielle is a superb sitter! I'd use her services any time. She has extensive experience and knowledge, and a lovely personality to go along with her skills.”

About: Animals have always held a special place in my heart. I have been pet sitting since my early teens through Facebook inquiries and I previously had been pet sitting through Wag. (I still pet sit through Wag, but I wanted to give Rover a chance!) I have dogs and cats of my own, so I understand that every animal has different needs and different boundaries. I believe in being respectful, attentive and patient as I want all animals to be comfortable while I’m in their presence. I will never push an interaction or push a pet beyond what they are comfortable with. My goal was very simple! I just wanna make sure that they feel safe and happy even while their owner is away. I’m currently going to school while working full time at at hospital while ALSO saving for my wedding so naturally that makes my budget very tight. so, Rover is a way to earn extra income while doing something I geniunely love. Being a young adult working toward big dreams can be challenging, so I am grateful for the opportunity to turn my love for animals into something meaningful. I typically work night shifts Sunday-Tuesday so outside of that, I have lots of free time. during the nights that I work, I would of course communicate to the pet parent my limited hours in the evening. But outside those days, I am completely free and I am able to do as many check ins as the pet parent needs. I ensure I read any instructions the pet parent leaves for me. My main goal is to ensure the pet is as comfortable as possible and of course the person to know that best, is the pet parent! I would hate to stray from any schedule a pet has as it’s already stressful enough when a parent is gone. I am really big on communication so if the pet parent wants me to stay in the home the whole time during the visit, or to only have check ins, I will make sure that is communicated.

About: I've taken care of dogs & cats my whole life, raised on a rural farm, my love and passion for animals started young in life. I have continued this passion with advocacy through my professional life working with people with developmental disabilities and getting them comfortable around animals, I have a Masters Degree and Bachelor's Degree and a daughter who is a Veterinary Technician who is always my "go to" for animal advice/guidance, your pet will receive the upmost care with me! I am currently open at this time to schedule on a consistent basis, drop ins, open to schedule at least one week in advance. Monday-Sunday. I am open to doing locations currently in both Tucson and Colorado Springs, due to having homes in both, depending on client/pet needs and scheduling in advance, I am able to accommodate my schedule to see where I most needed to make sure your pet needs are met. Will go to clients home, will do overnight visits and do dog walking, don't allow pets in my home, will go to the homes to care for the animals.

“Dakoda is a fabulous dog sitter. Very reliable and sends lots of text updates and photos. He even kept us informed and with photos of some construction we had ongoing outside the house. The best!”

“Robert was the perfect choice for me. I needed to go to the emergency room, and I had a friend who took Bernie for 1 day. I put in my request and Robert responded immediately. Since I was in the ER he met with my friend, and she gave him all of Bernie's needs. After meeting with Robert, she said that she liked him so much that she would not hesitate to use him for her 2 cream goldens. Robert made 2 great impressions on one stop. I would use him every chance I get. He did light housework and sent pics of Bernie and made sure Bernie was a happy boy. Thank you Robert.”

Jim W.

“Scottie was fantastic! I reached out to her only a couple of days before the start of the sit because my scheduled sitter canceled due to a family emergency. She was incredibly responsive, kind and accommodating. The pets immediately loved her. She provided excellent care and sent many updates/photos. Incredibly grateful! We will definitely invite her back for future sits!”

Lucia D.

“Samirah is an AMAZING human! Seriously one of the best pet sitter’s we’ve ever had. My dog had an unexpected medical emergency while we were gone and had to go to the emergency vet, Samirah got him there super quickly even though it was very late at night, took amazing care of him while he was scared at the ER, and was super communicative with us the whole time while we drove back home. Obviously it was not an ideal situation to have while we were on vacation but we felt so comforted to know that Samirah was taking great care of him. Even the staff at the emergency vet told me how amazing she was with him!!!! She also took great care of our cat and our house even with a sick puppy to look after! If you are looking for a kind, professional, trustworthy, communicative pet sitter, Samirah is the one!!!!”

Madeleine W.

“Kristen did an amazing job taking care of Lando for a week while I was traveling for work. She watered the plants and left the place very clean. Thanks!”

Ben O.

“Kaitlin too excellent care of our 2 dogs. The daily updates and pics were fun. Our house was left in excellent condition upon our return. We will definitely book for our next trip.”

Heather G.

“Kaitlynn is the absolute best. She is so kind, professional, knowledgeable, and considerate. We are lucky and grateful to have her as a partner in caring for our dog, she is just wonderful!”

Alison W.

“We hired Maya for a house/pet sit for our two dogs and two cats. She was very communicative during her stay, giving us daily updates. She kept the house clean and tidy and kept our animals happy and fed!”

About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and have grown up surrounded by pets. I’ve had dogs and other animals of my own, and caring for animals has always been something I genuinely enjoy. I currently volunteer regularly at local animal shelters, including the Arizona Humane Society, where I get to spend time caring for and supporting animals in need. I also have previous dog-sitting experience from high school and am excited to get back into it! While I’m unable to have a dog of my own right now because of school, dog sitting gives me the opportunity to spend time with the animals I love. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own, with patience, attention, affection, and plenty of love. 🐾❤️ I work full-time Monday through Friday from 8 AM–5 PM. If you’re located close to my workplace, I have a full hour lunch break and can stop by for a midday check-in, potty break, or some extra love and attention. For dog sitting, I’m available after 7 PM on weekdays and can do overnight stays, as I typically like to hit the gym after work. Weekends are where I have the most flexibility and I’m fully available to give your pets plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles. 🐾❤️ I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and will always do my best to provide reliable, consistent care! When caring for pets in your home, I have a consistent routine that can easily be adjusted to fit your pet’s normal schedule and needs. I naturally wake up around 7 AM and start my day with a morning walk or run, which I’d be happy to include your pup in! Since I live in Arizona, I’m mindful of the heat and will plan outdoor activities for earlier in the morning or cooler times of the day to keep your pet safe and comfortable. Throughout the day, I’ll set aside dedicated time for play, attention, and enrichment. I also enjoy incorporating simple training exercises into playtime when appropriate, especially if your pet enjoys learning and mental stimulation. I do set aside about two hours each day for the gym, so there will be a short period when I’m away. Outside of that, my schedule is very flexible, and I’m happy to adjust my routine around your pet’s feeding, walking, medication, bathroom, and rest schedule. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable, cared for, and right at home while you’re away. 🐾❤️

About: With 30+ years of life with cats & dogs, I bring calm, loving, experienced care tailored to each dog or cat’s unique needs. I pay close attention to routines, energy levels, and personalities, whether that means long walks, slow strolls, playtime, or quiet companionship. My goal is for your cat or dog to feel safe, understood, and genuinely cared for, not just watched, while you’re away. I own my own business and work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule. Because I’m in control of my day, dogs/cats get consistent attention, timely walks, meals on schedule, and plenty of companionship, never long stretches alone. This allows me to truly adapt to each dog’s/cat’s routine, energy level, and individual needs. I’m happy to care for your dog/cat in the comfort of your own home, where they feel safest and most relaxed. I follow your routines closely, i.e. walks, meals, medications, and playtime, so your dog’s/cats’s day stays familiar while you’re away. Being in their own space helps reduce stress and keeps things calm and comfortable.

About: A true professional will provide you with unparalleled peace of mind so you can focus on family, fun or work while traveling. I'm Brit, an independently insured pet sitter and local Tucsonan. Pet sitting is my full time job! Booking with me will make it as easy and stress free as possible to be away from your beloved pet(s). The Kitty Cottage is a lovely garden studio where your feline friends can relax in peace without the worries of traditional boarding solutions that involve sharing ventilation and space with pets from other households. It has 128 sqft of floor space as well as a 32 sqft loft. The cottage has been designed for excellent bird watching opportunities from every level - floor, cat furniture and loft. Accessibility can be modified based on your kitties' needs. Cats of all personalities and physical ability love the climate-controlled cottage overlooking a garden which hosts many birds, butterflies, and lizards daily. We have every kind of pet enrichment to offer so your cat will benefit from novel, mentally satisfying experiences every single day! Music made for cats softly plays throughout the day, with the soundtrack changed daily. A tablet plays games and videos for them. New toys, tunnels and rugs are brought in daily to provide novelty. The kitty cottage will be your cat's ultimate vacation! I am very comfortable caring for diabetic and aging or grumpy cats and my calm energy puts them at ease. Everything in the cottage can be moved or modified to suit kitties with mobility issues. Your beloved furry companion(s) will be happy and well cared for if you trust them with me! I visit the cottage several times a day, depending on your cat's social and medical needs. Frequent visits provide kitties with plenty of time to play, give and receive affection, engage with enrichment items, and enjoy some human company. Mealtimes and medications will be followed to the letter. Your cat will also see me in the backyard throughout the day, and I also check in on them via camera. The camera records all movement so I can review every moment of your kitty's day, ensuring they always have fresh food, water, and litterboxes. Camera access is available via the Ring app so you can check in on your kitty throughout their stay. Pet parents will receive professional-quality photos from every visit each day, as well as a 5+ minute video showcasing the highlights of your cat's day. If preferred, I can send clips throughout each day showing the highlights of their vacation in the cottage. Pickup and drop-off are free anywhere within 20 miles of Ina/Thornydale, but please note that I will not assist in finding or catching kitties for pickup. Cat(s) must already be in their carrier or crate at the pickup time scheduled. The standard cancellation policy may apply if your pet is not ready or able to be safely transported to the cottage. The cottage is safely situated behind locked gates on private property, and only accessible for dropoff or pickup with a scheduled appointment. A fee of $10/hour will be charged if pet parents are late for pickup. Circumstances requiring an exception to these stipulations must be discussed prior to booking, otherwise our standard fee and cancellation policies may apply. As for more info about me: I began cat sitting at 6 years old when I offered to feed my next door neighbor's cat lunch and scoop his litter box every weekday in exchange for a jar of dill pickles per week. Since then I have provided routine, kitten and elder care for the feline companions of friends, family and clients. I have 5 cats of my own who live in our main house, and being their Mom is a great source of joy in my life. Each has a unique personality and their own routine with me throughout the day, and I love spoiling them! Booking me will enable you to focus on fun, family or work while away because you have countless Instagram-worthy photos, lengthy high-quality videos and detailed notes from every single drop-in that really highlight the professional level of care your pets are receiving. When you contact me for a booking, I will want to know absolutely anything and everything you can tell me about your pet. Health history, personality, likes, dislikes, quirks, and concerns are especially important! There is no detail too small. There is no other boarding or drop-in sitter experience like this in the greater Tucson area, so book early to ensure your cats' next staycation is absolutely purrfect! If you want your pet to experience social and physical enrichment, genuine TLC, and consistently high quality care then please do book with me as soon as you have your schedule confirmed. From me you can always expect utmost safety and cleanliness, respect of your home and privacy, all requests dutifully followed, enriching playtime, exercise and affection for your pets, multiple high quality videos & pictures sent throughout walk or stay, all dietary and behavioral notes followed to the letter, never a last-minute cancelation or no show, and all health and safety precautions dutifully taken EVERY single time. You will rest easy knowing your pets are in the best hands because I only accept bookings for which I know I can provide the best possible care!

“We are so very grateful for Theresa! Our pups and our home were taken such good care of. Our trust in her services allowed us to have a proper vacation knowing she had everything under control. They loved being with her and we came home to smiles and a house full of hugs. We look forward to taking more trips while Theresa handles things at home with her superior attention to detail and TLC.”

“Kayla took care of our 2 kitties for 2 weeks while we were out of town. She did a great job with them and even got our shy kitty to come out of hiding, by the end of the 2 weeks the shy kitty had become a lap kitty for Kayla. Truly amazing - we adopted both kitties 6 months ago, Kayla is a "cat whisperer"!”

About: I have been petsitting since I was 10 and have been volunteering at pima animal care center for 5 years. I am currently a veterinary student at the University of Arizona and am very experienced in animal care. I have pet sat all types of animals including dogs, cats, bunnies, parrots, and reptiles. I am also a private groomer for all sizes dogs. I am an online college student and I work part-time in the afternoons so I am able to care for pets morning and night without a problem. I have a very large backyard that is completely fenced and 2 dogs that are very sociable and kind. My sofas are open to any pet.

About: Hi !! My name is Julia and I have a little over a year and half of pet sitting experience. I mainly sit for family and family friends, but am hoping to do so for people all over my community through rover. I also have 2 lovingly annoying cats of my own, who I absolutely cherish and adore. My typically sitting duration varies. I've sat for a little as just a few days to up to multiple weeks on end. If you're especially looking for someone who is up to pet sit for a good extended period of time ( multiple weeks to even a whole month's worth) I would be the most perfect match for you. I would consider myself very well versed in all matters of pet responsibilities as I've worked with dogs both big and small and practically every house I've sat for has always had a cat. ( Kitten to elderly) Whether it be strict feeding and walking schedules, cleaning and changing litterboxes or even dealing with vets and groomers, I always do my best to ensure the best care I can for any pet I watch and I would love to work with you and your furbaby(ies) if given the opportunity. :) I am currently in school completely my pre-requisite for nursing which fortunately I have been able to do online so pet sitting has been a wonderful addition into my routine, allowing me to complete school while working. I tend to care for pets at my clients houses. Typically for overnight/ long stays, but I also have done and will do the occasionally routine check-in. I always communicate with clients and follow whatever instructions they have given me. I'll also keep you updated throughout the day on how things are going and every evening send photos of your furbabies. If ever an issue or uncertainty arises I'll always reach out to see how you would like me to proceed before doing. Unless its a time sensitive matter then I do my best to take resonable initiative. ( though thankfully I haven't had any problems or concerns arise)
