“Our pets love Sarah!! ❤️ She takes care of our babies with as much love as we do. I'm not worried to go out of town knowing she is taking care of our three pets.”
“Heidi was a fantastic sitter. Took great care of my cat Rey, and gave her great attention while I was gone which helped reduce her anxiety. She is very communicative, made the process very smooth, and was trustworthy.”

“Isabella was a joy to see each morning when she came to give Bentley his shot. She was punctual and kind to our dogs. Bentley can be very wiggly when getting his shot and eye cream but Isabella was patient and persistent in getting the job done.We would highly recommend her.”


“Manuela completely exceeded our expectations for our first time using Rover. She was so communicative, helpful, and observant. We will definitely be using her again. She was outstanding!!”

“Logan was a gem. MJ was very well taken care of and he was so attentive. He really cares about animals and even pointed out one of MJ's issues. MJ "told" us all about her new friend. 🤣”

About: I’d love to help out all fellow pet owners! I currently have 3 dogs and one cat who I love dearly, so I’m pretty familiar with pet care. I’d love to share my love for animals and sit your own furry friends. I’m good with puppies, kittens, and senior care. I have one senior dog myself and two dogs who are 3 years old and a 1 and a half year old cat. I’m currently a college student with plenty of time to spend with your furry friends. My schedule is very flexible so I’m willing to watch your pets whenever needed!! I can easily provide any sort of care needed for your pet. Feeding, walking, crating, giving them some love are all easy for me to do. The only experience I don’t have is giving any sort of medication to pets.
“Juliette was amazing! She gave me detailed updates about my senior dog and did a great job of navigating his care plan. She had no problems giving him oral medications and cleaning up accidents.”

“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!”

About: I’ve been watching and caring for pets since I was little and have always had a love for animals. I’ve been taking care of neighbors and friends pets for years without any issues. I also have two fur babies of my own who receive plenty of walks, attention, and affection, and I would love the opportunity to care for your pets as well. I’m currently enrolled at the University of Arizona studying medicine, and I’ve taken several animal related classes simply because of my passion for animals. I’m a very patient, reliable, and attentive person who will treat your pet with the same care and love as my own. I’m currently a student at the University of Arizona studying medicine and im very free in the afternoons and nights to care for pets. And my schedule is free for the weekends to care for animals. I am very attentive and patient when it comes to caring for animals. I try to be observant to my dogs behaviors to see if soemthing is off and I try to keep a decently consistent schedule with feeding and potty breaks. I also make sure they have enough water especially in Arizona heat.

About: I’ve grown up with multiple dogs of all sizes, so I’m very comfortable handling different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I’ve also helped care for friends’ and neighbors’ dogs, giving me experience with different routines and environments. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with dogs, whether that’s going on walks, playing, or just keeping them company. I’ll treat your dog like my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. With a part-time schedule consisting of short shifts a few days a week, I’m able to offer flexible and attentive pet care. I have ample availability to maintain your dog’s routine and provide consistent supervision, exercise, and companionship. I always prioritize a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. I take the time to follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walk routines, and any specific preferences or needs. I make sure dogs are always supervised, kept in secure environments, and never put in situations where they could feel unsafe or overwhelmed. I also have a small fenced grass section outside of my house! In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and maintain their dog’s normal routine to help them feel as comfortable as possible. I’m attentive to behavior and body language, and I’ll adjust care based on what each dog needs—whether that’s more playtime, exercise, or just a calm presence. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your dog is safe, happy, and well cared for.
“We just recently moved to Tucson, and I am always very nervous having to find a new pet sitter. We really lucked out finding Patricia! Patricia was the best sitter we’ve had for our 10 yr old cat! Patricia was so thorough and great communication throughout the whole Rover process from beginning to end. I was able to relax while we were away knowing Ollie was being well taken care of and had someone also really caring to spend time with him.”

I have also house-sat with a special needs dog which required me to spend the night. I am a student at the University of Arizona, but my schedule is pretty light so dog walking/house-sitting will be able to easily fit into my schedule I am currently in a dorm so boarding is not available, but I will happily take dogs on walks or watch the house to take care of any pets.

About: I have fostered 8 dogs for PACC (so far!) and helped them find homes. Caring for dogs of ages, temperaments and needs has taught me so much. I have experience with both dogs and cats (and birds and fish!). I work as a substitute teacher, giving me flexibility to take pet-sitting jobs on short notice. I am also available for overnight pet-sitting in the greater Tucson area. As a dog foster, I have learned to be exceptionally careful with new dogs. Respecting their space, while being friendly and encouraging. Taking extra precautions when leaving the house or letting them out into the yard. I understand that change and new people can be stressful to a dog and am careful to avoid additional stressors. I feel immense responsibility for the pets in my care, as well as other pets and people we encounter on walks. I also want the dogs to have fun and relax when we are at home. I really enjoy getting to know new dogs and hope they see me as a new friend ☺️

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who grew up surrounded by dogs, cats, and horses, so caring for pets isn’t just a job, it’s truly my passion. I just lost my senior dog, which means I understand how much your furry family member means to you.

I’m available both weekdays and weekends and communicate as often as you’d like, expect lots of photos and updates! I follow your pet’s existing routine and your instructions to the letter, from feeding schedules to medication administration to emergency protocols. Your rules, your way.
Iron Horse pet parents share their Rover experiences
She was amazing! Pictures and notes every visit! She let me know everything going on, sent me pictures of not only my pup but of how the house looked, picked up after my clumsy dog and was on top of communication! I absolutely recommend Carmen and will use her again if I’m out of town!

Victoria is awesome! Her love and care for all critters is very clear, and helping animals seems to be a real calling for her. She is super responsive, very attentive, and she prioritized our dog’s best interests and our instructions. Rosie is going through a lot with recovering from surgery and lots of change at home and I’ve been so worried about how sad she has seemed. After hanging with Victoria, our Rosie was noticeably brighter and happier, which made our day. We plan to book as much as we can with Victoria.

Michaela is a 10 out of 10 and I cannot recommend her enough, especially if you have dogs with big personalities or anxiety. I have two dogs, one is reactive and one is really nervous around new people, so finding someone I trust is not easy. Before we even started regular visits, Michaela was willing to do an extra visit just so my girls 🐶 could get comfortable with her. She did not have to do that, and it made such a huge difference. On top of that, she showed up in the rain, and my dogs absolutely hate the rain. She still got both of them outside to use the bathroom, kept them calm, and stayed the full visit. The report card she left was so detailed and thoughtful it genuinely made my day. She just really does whatever it takes to make them feel safe and comfortable and you can tell she actually cares. If your dogs need a little extra patience, she is your person. Book her!

Catherine is an amazing sitter for my anxious little chihuahua! I am a little particular about her care when I’m away and Catherine follows every little instruction with detail and care. She sends specific updates and pictures to keep me looped in, which I greatly appreciate! I would definitely book with her again!
