“Sarah was amazing, we're so glad we had someone like her to check in on our beloved kitty while we were away! She even went above and beyond when she cleaned up the mess from Javelinas spreading our trash around our garage. We're so appreciative of her willingness to do that as disgusting as is probably was. We would definitely book Sarah in the future and would recommend her to anyone! Thank you Sarah!!!!”


“Adrian is a very caring dog sitter. He thinks of the little things that are very helpful for caring for the dogs while we are away. I appreciate his thoughtful updates and he helps us have peace of mind while on vacation.”


About: I have been caring for other people's dogs for about 18 years. This includes but not limited to walks, jogs, hiking, playing fetch, in home boarding, feeding, administering medications, bathing, brushing and general care for their loved one. I have the energy to handle the high energy dogs as well as the patience for special needs dogs and every dog in between. I am available to watch your dog in your home and I believe this is the best for the dog. They are less stressed when they are able to be in there safe space. I am also available for walks and jogs with your dog most days. It’s important to make sure your pet’s life is full of love, fun, and well-being. I would love to help you take care of your loved one(s). Hopefully I can be a good fit for you and your dog(s). I currently work full time Saturday- Wednesday and would be available in the mornings before 9am and in the evenings after 7pm. With open availability Thursday and Fridays. I like to have open communication with pet parents and learn how they handle their animals. I like to walk dogs not let them walk me. When walking I try to have them away from traffic and try to be aware of surroundings.

“Cara is great! She did daily check-ins on my kitty and tortoise and shared detailed updates with me. I will definitely book Cara on Rover again!”


“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”


“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.”


“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”



“Love how attentive and caring she is with my cat, Willow! Willow seems to really trust her and enjoy their visits. Will continue to rebook with Gamen when I go out of town :)”


“She did such an amazing job on a last minute booking for my kitties! Tiffany went above and beyond to care for them and my house while I was away! Thank you so much for your dependability and attention to detail! I will definitely rebook with Tiffany in the future!”


About: Throughout my life, I have always had a dog (or multiple dogs) in my household. Caring for animals is my favorite thing, and I have always been the first person of contact of family members and friends to care for their animals when they are away. There is nothing more I love then spending time with animals, whether it be taking them on walks, playing fetch with them, or just hanging around the house. I have volunteered at multiple dog shelters and I love to spend my time getting to know an animal, and I pride myself in building relationships with all of the animals I come across. I have built experience with pets my entire life, and I can assure you I am very well trained in every aspect of caring for an animal. I have been caring for animals since I was a little kid and I can promise that, at the end of my time with your animal, I will have a new best friend, and so will your pet. I am a university student coming back home to Scottsdale at the end of May, and will be in Tucson until then. I am available to care for your pet most days and nights, and I am open to catering to your schedule any way that I can. In my own home, I feed my pet twice a day and take them on at least one walk per day. During my free time, I enjoy hanging out with my pet and giving them the love and attention they deserve. In a client's home, you can be confident that I will spend all of my free time devoted to taking care of this animal and making sure they feel loved and cared for while their owner is gone. Your pet will get many walks, kisses, love, and playtime.

“Rachel was just awesome! All my kitties are rescued and are still a bit feral. She was able to get Feisty and Tiger to let her pet them! This is a sign of the perfect cat sitter! Thanks for the daily photos. Much appreciated.”


“I don't normally add reviews on Rover, but this time I want to, because Abriana has done a wonderful job taking care of my puppies. She asked directions on how to care for them, feed them and even give them their medicine. She spent the indicated time in our house and always communicating with us. I recommend her. Thank you Abriana!”


“Andrew provided awesome service for my 3 cats while I was out of state. He always kept me updated with pictures and let me know how the cats were doing. It was amazing that he actually became a friends with all three within a short 4 days. The pictures clearly showed the cats enjoyed having him around to care for them. I Definitely plan on using him again while I am out on my next out of state vacation. His updates kept my mind at ease especially after I’d seen him and all three of my cats in the pictures. I highly recommend Andrew to anyone looking for care for their pets.”



“Leticia did great with my two dogs and one cat! She sent photos at every drop in and met with us before starting to go over our details and meet the pets. Highly recommend!”


About: I have cared for my friends and family’s dogs, cats, and other animals since I was a teenager. I enjoy animals of all shapes, sizes, and energy levels! I am currently in a gap between finishing pharmacy school and starting my clinical residency program. I am available at all times of day and all days of the week to care for your pet! I am comfortable providing care for pets with both simple and complex needs, as well as high-energy animals. From administering medicine to playing for hours, I am confident I can meet your pet’s needs.

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.

“Isabella did a great job checking in on our cat. She was timely and always provided photos. She has great common sense and was quick to address an unforeseen situation after getting locked out of the house.”


“Val has been amazing doing drop-ins on our golden retriever! From the minute we met her she took intentional time to understand our needs and bond with our dog. She is responsive and timely with communication as well as provides great updates/pictures!! If you’re looking for someone to care for your pet, I would absolutely recommend Val!”


About: *** EXCLUSIVE BOOKING ONLY*** I do not take more than one booking at a time. It’s not worth the risk of unacquainted animals not getting along. So your booking would be your pets only during their stay. I’m relatively new to Tucson. I’m a freelance video producer/editor, so I work from home. I recently had to put my staffordshire terrier down and have been looking for a way to ease back into owning an animal. I figured this would be a great way to be around pets without the full commitment it takes to owning a pet again. I grew up around dogs and cats and have used rover before as a customer. I used to have to travel a LOT for work. 30-35 weekends a year on the road. So I boarded my dog, a LOT. It broke my heart to leave her but I felt good knowing the people I left her with were taking care of her like I would. That’s the exact same kid of care you’ll come to expect from me. I need frequent breaks from my desk, so walks and playing are always a matter of moments away. I have a 2 bedroom condo, with a fenced in backyard and a doggie door to get out into the patio. Pets are welcome on the furniture or in bed if that’s what they’re used to. Obviously any dietary restrictions, health needs, walking/grooming habits, favorite toys, best spots to scratch, etc will be considered. I work full time as a freelance video producer and editor, and I work mostly out of my home office. That means I’m available 24/7 to care for your pets. I have a 2 br condo, with a fenced back yard and a doggie door that leads to the patio/back yard. The condo complex is secured and very friendly. There are two separate dog friendly areas in my condo, and plenty of walking and parks nearby.

“Kathryn did a great job watching our three cats! Everyone was happy and healthy and we appreciated the pictures and updates throughout. We would definitely have Kathryn watch our animals again!”
