Pet Sitting El Rio Acres

“We absolutely love the care and attentiveness that Abriana gives to our 2 senior cats and our 2 year old boy that loves attention and play time. She even made the drive after moving further away which we could not have been more grateful for as it was last minute and we have valued her in so many ways she’s truly irreplaceable so it meant a lot she would drive the extra distance. We know they are so well taken care of and she goes above and beyond. She is truly one of a kind and highly recommend.”

“Logan came to visit our kitten twice a day for the week and she absolutely loved him! He sent us updates and made us feel super comfortable! He was communicative, professional and she had the best time with him! Logan treated her with so much care, I couldn’t stress that enough! I’d happily recommend him - you can easily tell it’s his passion to be there for our fur babies.”

“Thanks, Sarah G., for being such a caring pet sitter! Pixel was happy and relaxed when we got home. We appreciated how you touched base daily and sent a picture so we never worried about leaving Pixel behind while we were on vacation. Thank you.”

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.

About: With over 10 years of professional pet care experience, I provide knowledgeable, compassionate care tailored to each animal’s needs. My background includes managing the Canine Behavior Department at the Humane Society, where I specialized in working with fearful, reactive shelter dogs. I also led the New Beginnings program, teaching incarcerated men how to safely handle and train dogs preparing for adoption. In addition to pet sitting and daycare experience, I have veterinary technician experience caring for both dogs and cats, giving me a strong understanding of animal health, behavior, and safety. I’ve trained dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and temperaments using patient, positive methods focused on building trust and confidence. Whether your pet needs structured training, extra patience, medical awareness, or simply loving care while you’re away, I bring experience, reliability, and genuine passion to every animal I work with. I am available full-time to care for your fur babies, which allows me to give them the attention, care, and companionship they deserve throughout the day and night. Don’t worry about your pets having to leave their familiar environment or stray from their routine. I provide personalized care, training, and enrichment for your pets in the comfort of their own home, helping them stay happy, relaxed, and stress-free while you’re away.

“I’m so grateful to have found Xochitl for watching my Santiago (chihuahua mix) while I was out of town. She cared for him very well and I loved all the picture updates so much while I was away!”

“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.”

About: At 55, I have been a pet owner most of my life. When I first moved to Tucson in 2006, my now wife had a husky and tabby cat which we unfortunately lost years ago. Since then we have been mainly cat owners seeing as our house is quite small but I do miss being around, playing with and walking dogs. I am mature but still a kid at heart, flexible schedule, reliable transportation, indoors mostly but loves to be outside and, above all, a lifetime fan of animals. Cheers! Seeing as I work from home and set my own schedule, I can be there when you need, as you need, if you need, all of that. Breaking away from my laptop and house husband duties to hang out with your dog(s) or cat(s) for an extended amount of time is a far better prospect than running errands or checking the mail. Since February of this year, 2026, we are proud parents of a a brother and sister combo of, lets say, rather enthusiastic kittens. It is a small cottage midtown, a safe and loving environment with far too many toys that they sometimes play with, food and water bowls that are always full, I take time out every afternoon to deep clean the house and I even started an Instagram for them that is usually either a) the duo being in the way when we're trying to watch a movie or me cooking dinner or b) chronicling what we like to call "turbo time", aka the zoomies.

“Rachel completely exceeded any expectations. Not only did the pups enjoy their time with her, but I felt completely calm knowing they were in her care. She helped out when there was issues getting into the house for check in and made sure that my pups were taken care of with food and love. I truly can’t recommend her enough. 10/10 experience.”

About: Hello all, Although i am new to the rover platform, i am far from new to caring for fur babies and even scale babies. Having grown up with a household of rowdy dogs, a litter of kittens, and whatever other animal my mother was currently rehabilitating at the time, I know a thing or two (because I've seen a thing or two). Having gotten my passion for animals early on, I've held many jobs taking care of animals including, dog training for Petco, pet bathing for Bark Ave Dog Wash, assisting at a friends pet boarding facility, Volunteering for the Reptile Specialists before they closed and am now expanding my pet sitting from friends and family to you fine folks. I am quite experienced in caring for pets with special needs, as my family has adopted several pets over the years with an array of different medical needs. I've now cared for 3 dogs with seizure conditions, 2 dogs with parvo, 1 dog with valley fever and a sever allergy to ants, several dogs with separation anxiety, and numerous pets post op. That being said I'm great at administering medications and keeping tabs on changes in pets behavior so as to be able to act proactively if anything were to ever come up. I'm currently offering my services full time as well which means I'm able to be with you pets nearly 24/7 ( aside from the occasional errand lasting less than 2-3 hours at a time. As far as less traditional pets go, I've taken care of snakes, bearded dragons, geckos, tarantulas, Guinea pigs, hamsters, mice, and even a colony of hissing cockroaches. I love animals of all shapes and sizes and welcome any pet you may have. I am currently offering in home pet sitting as well as drop ins so please reach out if i sound like a good fit for you and your pets. I look forward to hearing from you and meeting some new friends. I'm currently taking a break from traditional work to focus on better managing stress and chronic illness which means I'm able to exclusively take care of your pet during my stay. Aside from a possible errand or two, which i will clear with you prior to ensure your pets needs are met, I'm able to stay with your pet 24/7 assuring they are well taken care of. Although your pets safety and wellness is always my top priority, making sure they don't feel lonely tends to be the biggest part of my job. Most of my time is spent doting on your pets, cuddling on the couch (or dog bed) , and taking them out frequently for potty breaks. I always leave your home as clean, if not more clean, than when you left it.

“Did a great job dropping in on my kitties! They have a specific feeding routine that requires measuring out raw food with a scale and dosing medication into one of their meals. She handled both tasks with ease and seemed incredibly comfortable with the routine. She even went the extra mile by turning my plant lights on and off! She is very friendly, offers highly competitive pricing, and left me feeling completely confident that my cats were in good hands. I look forward to booking with her again!”

“Nicole is the best!! She is truly the nicest and sweetest person you will meet .Our dogs loved her!! She went over and beyond expectations. We would definitely recommend her if you are looking for a awesome dog sitter.”

Jade S.

“Very very very good service overall. Extremely trustworthy and showed up exactly when she said she would. Returned to very happy pets. Only request would be a little more attention spent to keeping the floors cleaned as discussed. Would absolutely book again in a heartbeat!”

Sarina K.

“Jaycee has been wonderful and patient with my nervous little doggo. He’s slow to warm up to new people and Jaycee has been excellent at going at his pace and working with him when he didn’t even want to leave his crate at first. Couldn’t recommend her more!”

About: I've had dogs most of my life. First was Lance, a Springer Spaniel, when i was 4-yrs old. Add German Shorthair Pointers, Weimeraners, Labs, both English and Anerican Cocker Spaniels, terrier mix breeds and my current pup is a Long Hair Chihuahua. Most of my dogs have been shelter rescues. Also, I foster dogs for local shelters. I am retired and spend most of my time at home working in my new garden reading, or crafting. When we have dog guests, our time is devoted primarily to our visitors. Human away time rarely exceeds 4-hrs per day. I have a large fenced yard to run and play in whenever they want Chewy, the Chihuahua, is a friendly companion. Indoors is a dog-friendly/dog priority 3-bdrm home. Plenty of space if a visitor needs some quiet privacy or a mim with pups wants separation. Daily walks add to our exercise regime. Balls, frisbees and dogs are shared. Treats abound!

“Madison was so sweet with my baby! My pet is super shy, but Madison was very patient with her and they ended up playing together a bit on the last day! Also super communicative and reassuring. Also left everything cleaner than it was before. Would definitely book with Madison again! (:”
