About: Bonafide Animal Lover! I grew up on a farm caring for many different animals & have always had either cats and/or dogs in my adult life. Most recent, I cared for our two adult male shepherds in all aspects - training, feeding, walking, nurturing and our two adult cats - training, feeding, activity and nurturing. My pets are part of my family & I will provide the same level of care to your pets as well! (To avoid any confusion, my full name is “Sylvia Annette” - I usually go by my middle name “Annette” but will respond to either here. I am a semi-retired remote bookkeeper and empty nester therefore I am home most of the time and have plenty of time to do drop in visits, walking, house sitting or boarding. My caution level for keeping my pets safe and well cared for is very high. They are part of my family. I focus on their daily feeding schedule, ensure the catbox is kept clean daily, play with them (laser pointer and feather toy) for their exercise, and provide lots of love and cuddles too. When I have our shepherds, I walk them daily and play fetch and tug of war with a ball or rope.

“Jess has been a rockstar! I trust her to come out and give River a walk anytime. He’s always worn out and happy afterwards. She takes the time to make sure his water bowl is full after each walk too. Will definitely continue to book with Jess!”

About: I have 11 yrs of experience taking care of my own dogs and know that they are much more than pets, they're family! So I understand the importance of leaving them in the hands of not just anyone, but someone who's trustworthy, responsible, reliable and caring. Not only do I have these attributes but I pay attention to detail and will meet your furry friend where they're at. If they're shy and need time to warm up and feel safe, I can do that. If they're ready to play and want lots of petting and belly rubs, I can do that too! My priorities will always be safety, making sure that I attend to their needs and your specifications! I have a flexible work schedule and love to stay busy. Playing with or taking care of animals is my ideal way to spend my extra time! I'm able to play with, feed, walk and care for your dog/cat in the way that works best for them! I'm detail oriented and will be sure to provide the care that they need.

About: I’m a huge animal lover and proud pet parent to a full house of my own — 4 dogs and 2 cats! My dogs range from small to medium/large, so I’m comfortable caring for pets of different sizes, personalities, energy levels, and needs. Caring for animals is something I genuinely love, and I take a lot of pride in everything I do. I’m a trustworthy, reliable, honest, and attentive person, and when I’m caring for your pets, I treat them with the same love, patience, and respect I give my own. I offer dog walking and drop-in visits, and I’m happy to help with whatever your furry family member needs. Whether that means a good walk, fresh food and water, playtime, potty breaks, medication reminders, extra attention, or simply some companionship while you’re away — no task is too small or too large. I know firsthand how difficult it can be to find someone you truly trust with your pets. They’re not “just animals” — they’re family, and leaving them in someone else’s care can be stressful. That’s a big part of why I wanted to join Rover: I want to give other pet parents the same peace of mind I look for when someone cares for my own animals. My goal is simple: when you’re away, I want your pets to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for — and I want you to feel confident knowing they’re in good hands. I’ll treat your pets like I treat mine: with patience, affection, attention, and lots of love. 🐶🐱❤️ One of the biggest perks of having a work-from-home job with a highly flexible schedule is that I can make plenty of time for your furry family members! 🐶🐱💻 I have the flexibility to work around your pet’s routine rather than the other way around. Whether your pup needs a midday walk, your kitty needs a drop-in while you’re away, or your pets just need a little extra love and attention during the day, I’m happy to help whenever I can. I also understand firsthand how hard — and expensive — it can be to find reliable pet care. That’s actually one of the reasons I wanted to join Rover. For me, this isn’t just about making extra money. I genuinely love animals, and I love being able to help other pet parents have one less thing to worry about. Because of that, I’ve intentionally kept my rates a little more affordable than some sitters. I want great pet care to feel accessible, while still giving your pets the love, attention, and reliability they deserve. So while you’re busy, traveling, working, or just need an extra set of hands, I’m happy to be your pet’s person! 🐾❤️ Flexible schedule. Reliable care. Lots of love. And probably way too many pictures of your pets sent to you. When it comes to your pets, safety is always my number one priority. ❤️🐾 I know how much trust it takes to let someone else care for your animals, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. I’m attentive to their surroundings, behavior, routines, and individual needs, and I always take the extra moment to make sure they’re safe and comfortable. Before caring for your pet, I want to understand the important details — their personality, routines, feeding instructions, medications if needed, things they may be nervous around, and anything else that helps me provide the best possible care. During walks and drop-ins, I stay present and attentive rather than treating the visit like something to quickly check off my list. I keep an eye out for potential hazards, make sure doors and gates are secure, follow leash and handling instructions, and never take unnecessary chances with your pet's safety. I also believe that every pet deserves individual care. Some pets need lots of exercise and play, while others need a slower pace, extra patience, or simply someone to sit with them and make them feel secure. I pay attention to those little details because they matter. My goal is for you to have complete peace of mind knowing that while your pets are in my care, they are receiving my full attention, patience, love, and care. Because at the end of the day, I’m not just caring for someone’s pet — I’m caring for someone’s family.

About: Growing up in Arizona I was always around animals. Dogs,cats,horses, even ducks and other farm animals. I am absolutely in love with connecting with dogs. They bring me so much joy and I love seeing there tails wag :) I am extremely patient and love staying active and can help you with whatever you need. I decided to join Rover for fun because I live connecting with dogs so much. I do not have a dog of my own and would love to rescue as many as I can in the future. I am a student and veteran in the reserves. I am available anytime I am not in class during the week. My work schedule is flexible. I have dog sat for many of my friends and family members since I was younger. I have also recently been helping my neighbors with their dog since they have been traveling a lot. Cant wait to meet you and make a new furry friend!:)

About: 🐾 Hi! I’m someone who has grown up around animals my entire life — dogs, cats, bunnies, birds, and more — and caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life. From a young age, I helped care for family pets, and over the past several years, friends and neighbors have regularly trusted me to care for their pets while they travel or work. In December 2025, after multiple recommendations from friends and neighbors, I decided to join Rover to expand my pet care services within my community. What started as part-time pet sitting has recently grown into expanded availability for boarding, house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walks. I currently share my home with both dogs and cats, so I’m very familiar with daily routines, supervising interactions, reading body language, and creating a calm, structured environment for animals with different personalities and energy levels. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, exercise needs, comfort levels, behavior changes, medications, and making sure pets feel safe, secure, and cared for while away from their owners. I’m also comfortable administering oral medications with clear instructions from pet parents. I have experience assisting with injectable medications for cats as well and am comfortable following detailed instructions for administration and care. 🐶 What Makes My Care Special: • Lots of playtime, enrichment, walks, cuddle time, and attention • Interactive toys, feeders, chew toys, and activities to keep pets mentally stimulated • Consistent communication and photo updates throughout stays • A calm, loving, low-stress home environment • Care tailored to each pet’s personality, routine, and comfort level Because I have both dogs and cats at home, it’s important that pets staying with me are safe around small animals and cats. Friendly or indifferent is perfectly fine, but I cannot accept pets with a history of aggression, high prey drive, or unsafe behavior toward cats or smaller animals. I also like to discuss each dog’s comfort level, socialization, routine, and needs beforehand to make sure it’s a good fit for everyone. I’m also open to house sitting when it’s the right fit. Because I have pets of my own, they would need to come with me for longer stays. They’re friendly, well-socialized, and respectful in the home environment, and I always prioritize maintaining a safe, calm, and comfortable space for everyone involved. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets, so I truly aim to treat every animal like family while they’re with me. 🐶🐱💛 Pet care already fits naturally into my daily routine. My pets are very active, so walks, enrichment, playtime, and outdoor time are already a regular part of my day. I recently transitioned into doing pet care full-time and currently have expanded availability for boarding, drop-ins, walks, house sitting, and accepting new one-time and repeat clients. Because pet care is now my primary focus, I’m home the majority of the time and able to provide lots of supervision, attention, and companionship throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I maintain a clean, calm environment, supervise interactions closely, follow routines carefully, and do my best to make every pet feel safe, secure, and comfortable while in my care.

About: Father to two boys and two dogs looking to pick up extra money and make ends meet. Lifelong dog rescuer and animal lover, current U of A student and future K-12 art educator. Currently attending U of A Mon-Thursday. I have limited availability during gaps between my classes. On Friday I have much more availability, as I am not attending classes that day. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs, as well as issuing controlled medication at scheduled intervals. I personally don’t give my dogs table scraps, because I know how sensitive their digestive systems can be. I have prepared raw diet meals in the past for pets. An exercised dog is a happy dog!

About: With over 10 years of experience caring for animals, including reptiles, cats, and dogs, I bring a deep understanding and genuine love for all kinds of pets. For the past 5 years, I’ve been a dedicated foster for many animals, including various dog breeds. I have cared for small as well as big dogs, and have fostered multiple mixed pitty breeds working on training. I also regularly walk dogs at PACC and have bent doing that at various shelters since I was in middle school. I have a flexible schedule, which means I can be fully present and responsive to your pet’s needs, whether that’s frequent potty breaks, outdoor adventures, or quiet companionship at home. I’m equally comfortable going for runs with high-energy pups or creating a calm, cozy environment for shy or senior animals. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority, and I’m committed to making them feel safe, loved, and at home. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have a very flexible schedule. I’m able to plan my day around the needs of the pets I’m caring for, whether that means early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening playtime. My availability allows me to give animals the attention, companionship, and consistency they need throughout the day. At home I care for my cat like she’s my baby. I start each day by feeding her first thing in the morning and always ensure she has a full, fresh water bowl. Since I currently work from home, I’m able to be very attentive throughout the day. I make sure she gets outdoor time, engage playing with her, and give lots of cuddles. I bring that same level of care, attentiveness, and love to every animal I care for, whether it’s a cat, dog, or another species. Your pet will be treated like one of my own.

About: 🐾 Hi! I’m Elizabeth, an experienced at-home dog sitter with 25+ years of caring for dogs. We’re located just 10 minutes from downtown Tucson (Marana area near Cortaro & I-10), in a quiet neighborhood on a peaceful cul-de-sac — no busy streets or loud noise. We’re open 365 days a year, including holidays and last-minute bookings. Whether it’s just one night or 100 (I’ve actually had a dog guest stay that long!), your dog will be treated like family every step of the way. After 11+ years on Rover, many of my clients return again and again. ⸻ 🐶 What Makes our Care Special: • Dogs lounge on soft couches with blankets and pillows. • Daily updates and photos. • Secure backyard with a covered porch and a 10x10 Astroturf sun patch for lounging. • 6-foot fences and a deadbolt gate on the front porch for extra safety. • Someone is almost always home (rarely gone more than an hour). • Four trained and experienced adults in the home = lots of attention, playtime, and professional care. • Extensive experience with medical needs, including medication administration and injections. ⸻ 🐕🐕🐕🌟 A Few Important Notes: 🐕🐕🐕 • I only host a few dogs at a time—usually 3-4, occasionally up to 6 during peak holidays—to ensure personalized care. 🐕🐕🐕 MEET-AND-GREETS 🐕🐕🐕 For the comfort and routine of the dogs already in my care, I do not schedule separate in-person meet-and-greets. I’m happy to offer a virtual meet-and-greet beforehand though. On the day of the booking clients are able to tour the home and yard during drop-off. We can go over feeding, medication and playtime/sleep routines then as well. • Dogs must be house-trained (unless under 12 months). • Even if my calendar shows unavailable, feel free to reach out — I may still have space for the right fit! ⸻ ✨ With 600+ five-star reviews, a lot of my guests become repeat clients. Once you’re one of them, you’ll receive first-priority booking — and your pup will feel right at home. I If you think your dog might be a great fit, I’d love to hear from you! – Elizabeth 🐶💛 Dogs are part of our daily life here. With someone always home, they enjoy constant care, indoor or outdoor play (weather permitting), comfort, attention, and plenty of companionship. Dogs here are always safe, loved, and never alone. They get lots of attention, playtime, and a low-stress calm, homey space to relax in. We have bowls of water out at all times.

About: I have always had one or multiple pet dogs in my home as pets. I love walking and exercising and having company. Having a partner (or however many dogs) while I'm exercising is the best way! I recently retired from the military in February 2026 and I'm figuring out how to fill my days with positive activities. I travel quite a bit, but when I'm in town I'll be available. I have my sweet Clover girl. I take her on runs or walks constantly. She loves trail runs! She has a doggie door and comes and goes in the backyard as she pleases. She also goes swimming whenever she wants.

About: I have experience taking care of boarding dogs and cats at an animal hospital. I worked for them for a little over a year and have gotten lots of experience with dogs and cats. I used to raise puppies and train them how to sit and have manners for about two years with my parent. I have dog sitting experience and house sitting experience. I also want to note that I am a full time college student, my schedule is below for more information. Just keep scrolling and you will see “schedule” section. Thank you :) I am currently going to school at the UofA full time during the weekdays (my class schedule is listed below keep reading) and would be available most days to come and play with the animals for 30 minutes to an hour in the afternoons and overnight sitting. And on weekends I would be free to play with and walk the animals as needed. Class schedule: Mon 1pm-2pm Tue 9:30am-1pm then 3pm-5pm Wed 9am-2pm then 4pm-5pm Thur 9:30am-4pm Fri 1pm-2pm I do also have a job at the animal shelter for part time. That work schedule will vary but will be no more the 4-6 hours a day. Likely to be on the weekends to avoid conflict with school :) For my personal home, I will not be able to board any pets. Although I am very safe and responsible. My person pet uses a crate just for her safety when I am gone. I am good with crate training as needed for your pets as well. I make sure I clean up after every day and leave the house as clean as I can before you arrive back home to your happy animals!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Cortaro

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Cortaro is $17 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $37 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 1,217 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Cortaro. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Cortaro. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Cortaro after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Every walker 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Cortaro. On Rover:

  • 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

walkers on Rover set their own , 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 walker.
