“Hay took such great care of our pups. Very responsive. Updated us regularly (but not too much). Our pups have some unique quirks that Hay had zero trouble managing. We felt comfortable and confident knowing the dogs were in good hands. Not to mention, an overall lovely person!”
“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.”
“Chesnie was a wonderful guest in our home. Our dogs absolutely loved her and she was very attentive to their needs and typical home life. We will definitely be reaching out to her next time we need a sitter.”
“Marcie was wonderful during the 5 days she stayed with our Chimo in our house. She was caring and completely sensitive to his medical needs. Marcie was respectful and left the house perfectly in order. I highly recommend Marcie is you need a house dog sitter. She is reliable and perfect match for your needs. Look forward to having Marcie again.”
“Denise was awesome taking care of our home and Izzy while we were on vacation. She sent updates and communicated and even helped Izzy when our pest control showed up unexpectedly. She took care of all our plants and made sure Izzy was loved while we were on it of the country.”
About: I’ve taken care of many animals through out my life, from cats and dogs, to raising animals on a farm. I enjoy being around animals and look forward to meeting yours! Im not currently working and I am available anytime to watch your fur babies. Morning, afternoon and evenings. Over night stays as well if needed. Communication is a priority and I will provide frequent updates with photos/videos. This has allowed my clients to see first hand how safe, comfortable, and secure their pets feel in my care. My clients often express their peace of mind knowing their pets are safe, understood, and well cared for while away
“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!”
“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!!!!”
About: I’ve taken care of all types of animals but I’m here to pet sit cats and dogs. Have plenty of free times on my hands to help you look after your fur baby. I’m available most weeks and weekend. Occasionally I leave town on weekends or longer weekends but I’m in the Tucson area for most of my time. I take care of a clients pet like it’s my own. I would adjust myself to the pets and clients needs to make their fur baby feel as comfortable as possible.
About: Hello! I am a pet lover who grew up with Boston terriers for 20+ years. I also grew up working with dogs (Border Collies) on ranches, working side by side on various tasks. Because of my experience and comfort with dogs, I have been dog-sitting for friends and family my whole life. I have some experience caring for cats, including my sisters' and friends' cats (5+ years). I am very active and can exercise or entertain your pet with play or runs. I have rarely met a dog I couldn't build trust with. I am working a full-time position at the University of Arizona. I am free from 5 a.m. to 8 a.m., 12 p.m. to 1 p.m., and 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. on weekdays. I have full availability on weekends. I ensure to follow all the rules the pet owner has established. I will use commands and language the dog is familiar with to avoid confusion. I make sure the pets are exercised 2-3 times a day. Cleaned and brushed if needed. I am mindful of water intake and make sure that all pets are kept on their usual schedule.
“Jewel took care of our two dogs in our home for 11 days while we were out of town recently. We have engaged numerous sitters over the nearly 20 years that we've had dogs, and Jewel is clearly at the top of the list. In fact, we've already rebooked her for a long trip in June. The booking process was easy and she responded promptly. Communication with her through Rover was very good. We had a meet and greet, and then she arrived on time the morning of our departure on time and ready to go. Throughout our trip, she kept us posted almost daily on how things were going. Since one of our dogs slept with her nightly and the other frequently, obviously they "took" well to her. As rescues, and one an 21-month old male who is still very much a puppy, our dogs can be challenging in some ways, but Jewel seems to have "gone with the flow" of their lives, understood that there are always unknowns about rescues, and done very well with them. When we got home, our dogs were happy and our house was in order, as she had washed the sheets and towels she used, cleaned various surfaces, taken out the trash and perishables, poop and recycles, watered the house plants, and gone beyond what we normally expect of a house and dog sitter. Jewel is professional, experienced, personable and trustworthy. We certainly have no hesitation recommending her to others.”
About: Hi there! I’m a compassionate dog lover living in Tucson. I’ve shared my life with many wonderful dogs, including a black lab named Zorro, a Greyhound mix named Jasper, two pugs named Suki and Mooshi, and a Boston Terrier named Campbell. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule to provide walks, playtime, and companionship whenever your dog needs it. I’m strong enough for big dogs and patient enough for small ones, and I’m also comfortable giving oral medication and walking multiple dogs at once. I love spending time outdoors and making sure every pup gets exercise, attention, and affection. Full disclosure: I don’t use or feel comfortable with shock collars, so I cannot accept bookings that require one. If you have any questions or special instructions, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’d love to meet you and your furry friend! I work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule for dog walking, pet sitting, and drop-in visits. I can spend as much time as needed with each pet, whether it’s dogs needing walks and playtime or cats who enjoy company and attention. I make sure every pet gets consistent care, companionship, and love throughout the day, adjusting my schedule to match their routines and needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their usual routine to keep them comfortable and secure. For dogs, this includes walks, playtime, feeding, and giving oral medication if needed. For cats, this includes feeding, litter box maintenance, playtime, and cuddles. I also make sure their space stays clean, water is always available, and they feel safe and happy. During visits, I focus on giving each pet full attention and companionship. I send updates and photos so owners can relax knowing their pets are well cared for. My goal is to make every visit calm, fun, and dependable.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Cortaro
Robert was absolutely amazing! Bubbles and Cody loved him! He took care of our house great too. Carol was very happy with the state of the house when we returned from vacation and that says a lot because she is a known "neat freak". Rob kept us informed and updated about the dogs health and activities daily and sent numerous pictures of them. Communication was great at all times. I could go on about how great our experience with Rob was but just let me say he was the best! We have already started the process of booking him for our next trip. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a person to take care of their house or pets. It was a pleasure having him take care of our house and pups.
⭐️Cambria is simply the BEST dog sitter.⭐️ This was the first time we had her stay overnight to watch our fur babies and she couldn’t have done a better job. She communicated thoroughly and sent pictures. We went out of town for a wedding and I never worried about our animals being well loved and taken care of. When we got home, their tails were wagging and they were so happy to see us as if to tell us how much fun they had with her. She followed the feeding directions we left and she updated us on their eating and potty breaks. She also left our place exactly as it was when we left which was a huge help when we unpacked. If you are a helicopter dog mom like myself, Cambria brings the calm needed when you can’t be there for you pups. 10/10 would recommend.
We love the photos of our happy Fred that Annette sends daily. She always finds ways to entertain Fred whether swimming to chase a ball, playing with a new toy, or taking a walk. We appreciated Annette’s adaptability when our refrigerator/freezer stop working! She is fabulous with our Fred!

The average cost of House Sitting in Cortaro is $43 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $67 per night.

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 Cortaro 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 Cortaro 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 Cortaro 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters 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 sitter.
