Top rated El Cortez pet sitters

“Rachel was amazing with my girl, Charlie, who can be quite stubborn and takes a while to warm up to new people. She was so patient and understanding, and Charlie ended up being so comfortable with her! Rachel sent lots of updates and pictures throughout the stay, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I can't thank her enough for showing Charlie so much love and care. Highly recommend Rachel if you're looking for someone who will go above and beyond!”


“Sarah took excellent care of our kitties while we were away! I appreciated the daily pictures and it was a huge plus coming home to a clean home. Would definitely rebook with Sarah if we were staying in Tucson longer!”


“Cara was wonderful - booked on short notice, she made time to meet up ahead of the scheduled start. Cara was extremely flexible, did a wonderful job caring for our dog and cats, was there when she said she’d be and went above and beyond. She also provided great updates and photos for each trip. We would recommend her 10/10 times - thanks Cara!”


“Pat was the perfect sitter for our three kitties! She asked great questions to make sure she knew exactly what she needed to know to care for our cats. She was super communicative with us, was on time for drop ins and even went out of her way to make our cats a little toy. We look forward to hiring Pat again in the future!”


“Juliette is amazing! My puppy loves when she drops in to play. She is very mindful and observant about my puppy’s needs. I can tell she truly does have extensive experience with animals. I will and have rebooked her for my puppy!”


“Logan is amazing, and we always know our kitties will be as happy as they could be! We are so grateful to have found Logan and plan on continuing to book for all our future needs!”


“Ellery was so communicative while watching my cats. Thorough updates were given & the best pictures were taken while I was gone. I’m sure my cats didn’t even want me to come back! I’d hire Ellery over and over again!”


About: I have owned and loved dogs my entire life, and am now also a cat convert! I would be so excited to meet and help care for your pets while you're away, since I know they are a part of your family. Whether you want some walks for your pup, or a drop in visit for your animals while away, I am here to help. I have been a dog walker in New York and New Jersey for a few years, and am excited to rekindle that work here in Tucson. I am currently writing my dissertation, so I am home all day every day! That means a wide open schedule that can adjust to your needs. I want you to feel secure in trusting me with your pets. I love to take cute photos to share our fun adventures with you!

“Allyson is lovely, my grandfathers dog Pegsley who had to stay with me for a month before being rehomed needed walks 3 days a week while I was at work. She adored Allyson”



About: Dog guests love our secured yards and comfy dog beds! We have one indoor/outdoor (very friendly but low energy) dog and an indoor cat and I'm home with pets all day. Large home with grassy front yard and large backyard. Pool, for dogs who like swimming. Dogs get to come inside and outside as they like, and I always supervise them. Our dog loves visitors, and our cat tolerates them. If your dog likes walks, we do one lengthy walk (if it's not too hot) every evening. If your dog likes to play, we have a yard full of toys and are happy to throw things and play tug-of-war. Want frequent updates? No problem. I'll take eleven million pictures of your dog being cute. Care is tailored to your and your pet's preference. We're used to special dietary needs and administering medications. I have stairs to our bed for little and older dogs and they're welcome on all the furniture. If your dog is into binging shows, I am agreeable as long as they do not have terrible taste. We love our pets and we like knowing they're happy when we're away, too! For housesitting, I'll be there as much as you like. You will come home to your house exactly as you left it, with happy pets. Pet care is my only job. Your pets will always have my full attention- I'm always available to them for attention, playing, walks, and snuggling. At this time, we are not offering pet sitting services in our home. We recently adopted a stray cat, and he's still very skittish with new people and animals.

“Tiffany did an incredible job of taking care of my cat while I was away. She has excellent communication, and was a wonderful person to have as a cat sitter.”


“Our first time to have Alex keep an eye on our pup. She was all we could have asked for, caring, responsible and kind. We will be using again and good to know we have someone we can trust and count on.”


About: I’ve been house/dog sitting for family and friends for over 8 years. I love animals and appreciate the time I get to spend with each one. I take the opportunity seriously and treat all animals as if my own. I work remotely all day, so I can provide support and care all day. I don’t mind scheduling around the pet’s normal schedule. I like to keep the animals as close to their routine as possible. I work remotely all day, so I can provide support and care all day. I don’t mind scheduling around the pet’s normal schedule. I like to keep the animals as close to their routine as possible.

About: I spent a year working in a nature center with all kinds of animals, including a bird rehab with eagles and owls! I have taken care of several foster cats, including a very special rescue who needed a lot of medical attention. I am often trusted to cat and dog sit for my friends and family. I move around a lot so it's been hard to have my own permanent animal, so I just spend as much time as I can with the animals around me! My work schedule is part time and flexible so I have plenty of time and energy to take care of your pets and do house sitting. I have a good sized two bedroom house so there is plenty of space for a pet to explore. There are no other pets in the house, so there is no concern about if unknown animals will get along with each other or not. I live in a safe, walkable neighborhood so long walks are very doable. I have my own car in good condition and a great driving record if pets need to be taken anywhere (scheduled or emergency). I also have extensive babysitting experience so I'm used to being in other people's homes and respecting their space.

“Couldn’t have chosen a better person to watch my fur baby. She was very kind and caring and all around treated him like he was her own. Would definitely recommend her and choose her to watch my boy Butters again. Thank you 10/10”


“Marikate was awesome! Extremely friendly and loved our kitty well. We had a change in travel plans and she was very flexible and helpful to make sure our pet was well taken care of. Will definitely use her again”


About: Hello! I am an animal-loving nanny with deep experience and passion for working with fur babies. On my 12th birthday, I welcomed my first dog, and from that moment on, my love for sharing life with these adorable creatures has been growing in me. I am not only a pet nanny, but also someone with experience as a volunteer at a shelter. This volunteer experience gave me a deep appreciation for the needs of many animals and made me even more committed to providing love and care to every pet. What makes me different from other nannies is that I am willing to make sumptuous food for pets. I have done exquisite research on the nutritional value of dog food, so I can ensure that their diet is balanced and delicious. I respect every owner's request and take care of your pet as if it were my own family with a meticulous attitude. If you are looking for a responsible and loving nanny, I believe I am your best choice. Let us work together to create a pleasant, warm and laughter-filled living environment and give your pets the best care. We look forward to the opportunity to meet you and your pets and create wonderful memories together! Make sure your pet still gets plenty of care and love despite your busy schedule. Not only do I have plenty of time, I also enjoy waking up early to take your pet on a healthy walk while soaking up the morning sunshine. This not only helps your pet’s physical health, but also satisfies their desire to explore nature. While in my care, you can rest assured that I will take care of every detail, including preparing a delicious breakfast for your pet, and ensuring they have a happy and fulfilling day. The safety of my pet is my primary concern in my care. I make sure the environment is safe for my pets and remove anything that could pose a danger to them. When walking, I choose safe routes and avoid heavy traffic or other potentially dangerous areas. Additionally, I will familiarize myself with and comply with any special medical needs or practices to ensure their physical and mental well-being. I value creating a comfortable, clean, and fun environment that meets the needs of our pet's life. This includes regular cleaning of their living space, providing adequate exercise and entertainment, and ensuring eating habits and rest periods are well managed. I also work closely with pet owners to understand their pets' habits, preferences and special needs to ensure the most appropriate care is provided. Overall, I am committed to creating a safe, trustworthy, and comfortable environment where pets in my care can enjoy the best quality of life possible. By building deep relationships with pets, I hope to become an integral friend in their lives.
