“Rachel did a wonderful job as always watching our senior dog. She’s great with communication, updates, and sends lots of photos on each visit. We really appreciate all the attention and care she provides while we are away.”


“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!”


“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 absolutely amazing! She’s been watching our puppy for over a month now and we couldn’t have asked for a better person. She truly spends quality time with our puppy and makes sure that she gets the enrichment and stimulation needed. She’s worked with our puppy on so many things and it’s been great. Highly highly recommend!”


“Logan did an excellent job taking care of my 6 kitties! My Loki has to have insulin injections every 12 hours and he did an awesome job with that! Loki sometimes hides when it’s insulin time but Logan found every one of his hiding spots! I have a shelter house on my porch for a couple of feral kitties that come by at night to eat and he put dry and wet food as well as fresh water out every night for them just as I asked! I received an update every time he came by which I appreciated so very much because I tend to worry a lot on vacation about my furkids. With the wonderful updates Logan sent I knew exactly how they were doing so had no worries whatsoever! Best Rover caregiver for my kitties I have ever had. Thank you a million times over!”


“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!”


“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: 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!


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.

“Fiona is very invested in each and every one of her canine clients and she really cares about the experience for both pet and pet parent. Fiona was timely, communicative and empathetic. She did wonderfully with our younger dog who was new to having a dogsitter, and our senior lab mix - each of which have very different needs. I highly recommend Fiona!”


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.

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.

“Chloe was prompted for our meet and greet. She was friendly and understanding. Both dogs loved her, and even my cat, who is generally shy came out to check her out. We will be hiring her in the near future.”


About: I’ve taken care of everything from dogs to reptiles so I can confidently say that I am very experienced and that your baby is safe with me! I’m currently working part time, and am taking summer classes online, so spending time with your pet will not be an issue. I’m a dedicated hard worker and am here to make your life easier! I will always ask about emergency plans and last resort solutions so you don’t have to stress about trying to remember every little detail. I have a form for my pet parents to fill out that I keep with me while taking care of your baby :)


“Terri did a great job taking care of my kitties. They're skittish around new people, so she spent some time searching for them. She even came back later in the day when she couldn't find one of them in the morning. She re-filled the litter box when the sand was low, and generally did a great job caring for them.”


“THANK YOU! Alison was wonderful! We couldn't have asked for a better siter for our Magellan while we were away for the holidays. She made she he was clean fed and cuddled! We loved the extra photos and videos. We especially enjoyed the extra pics of our outside kitties. Alison was great at following out sort of weird instructions and even brought in our mail!! Thank you SO much, Alison! You'll be at the top of our list next time we have to go out of town.”
