“Robyn was fantastic! She was very communicative and gave lots of love to our pets when we were out of town. She sent us pictures and updates throughout the day. Our house was clean and tidy when we got home and our pets were happy and well taken care of! We will definitely look to rebook with her in the future.”

About: Animals have always held a special place in my heart. I have been pet sitting since my early teens through Facebook inquiries and I previously had been pet sitting through Wag. (I still pet sit through Wag, but I wanted to give Rover a chance!) I have dogs and cats of my own, so I understand that every animal has different needs and different boundaries. I believe in being respectful, attentive and patient as I want all animals to be comfortable while I’m in their presence. I will never push an interaction or push a pet beyond what they are comfortable with. My goal was very simple! I just wanna make sure that they feel safe and happy even while their owner is away. I’m currently going to school while working full time at at hospital while ALSO saving for my wedding so naturally that makes my budget very tight. so, Rover is a way to earn extra income while doing something I geniunely love. Being a young adult working toward big dreams can be challenging, so I am grateful for the opportunity to turn my love for animals into something meaningful. I typically work night shifts Sunday-Tuesday so outside of that, I have lots of free time. during the nights that I work, I would of course communicate to the pet parent my limited hours in the evening. But outside those days, I am completely free and I am able to do as many check ins as the pet parent needs. I ensure I read any instructions the pet parent leaves for me. My main goal is to ensure the pet is as comfortable as possible and of course the person to know that best, is the pet parent! I would hate to stray from any schedule a pet has as it’s already stressful enough when a parent is gone. I am really big on communication so if the pet parent wants me to stay in the home the whole time during the visit, or to only have check ins, I will make sure that is communicated.

“Robert was the perfect choice for me. I needed to go to the emergency room, and I had a friend who took Bernie for 1 day. I put in my request and Robert responded immediately. Since I was in the ER he met with my friend, and she gave him all of Bernie's needs. After meeting with Robert, she said that she liked him so much that she would not hesitate to use him for her 2 cream goldens. Robert made 2 great impressions on one stop. I would use him every chance I get. He did light housework and sent pics of Bernie and made sure Bernie was a happy boy. Thank you Robert.”

“Samirah is an AMAZING human! Seriously one of the best pet sitter’s we’ve ever had. My dog had an unexpected medical emergency while we were gone and had to go to the emergency vet, Samirah got him there super quickly even though it was very late at night, took amazing care of him while he was scared at the ER, and was super communicative with us the whole time while we drove back home. Obviously it was not an ideal situation to have while we were on vacation but we felt so comforted to know that Samirah was taking great care of him. Even the staff at the emergency vet told me how amazing she was with him!!!! She also took great care of our cat and our house even with a sick puppy to look after! If you are looking for a kind, professional, trustworthy, communicative pet sitter, Samirah is the one!!!!”

“Mary was AMAZING with our three dogs while we were away at Disneyland! Having three dogs with different personalities and routines can be a lot, but she handled all of them beautifully. We came home to three happy, relaxed pups and a house exactly as we left it—which is pretty much the highest compliment I can give a pet sitter. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly genuinely cared about our dogs. I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in her hands, and being able to enjoy our trip without worrying about what was happening at home was priceless. We will 100% be asking Mary to watch our little zoo again. Highly recommend her—although selfishly, I’d also like everyone to leave some availability for us. 😂❤️🐾”

About: I provide loving, reliable pet care in the familiar surroundings of their own home. Please note that I have a 3-night minimum stay requirement for all bookings. While my home base is tucked away in the high desert, my full-time house-sitting services are completely mobile. I am happy to travel directly to you across Pima and Pinal counties and their surrounding communities to ensure your beloved pets stay comfortable and stress-free. Whether you live in the Catalina Foothills, Oro Valley, SaddleBrooke, Marana, Tucson, or up through San Tan Valley, I bring peace of mind directly to your doorstep. I specialize in overnight house sitting, ensuring your pets get to keep their stress-free, daily routines in the comfort of their own environment. About My Experience & Care Style I have cared for animals for many years, including dogs and cats in a variety of home environments. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to provide dependable, attentive care while they are away. I am especially strong at maintaining a pet’s normal routine, which helps them feel calm and secure. I naturally bring a steady, grounded presence that animals respond well to, and I take the time to understand each pet’s personality and needs. Because every animal is unique, I always let pets set the pace for how quickly we become friends, ensuring a patient, respectful introduction. I focus on creating a low-stress environment where pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for, while also treating each home with the same level of respect and attention. I’m happy to travel for the right stay and provide a consistent, attentive experience from start to finish. 🐾 Multi-Pet Household Policy: For homes featuring a mix of both dogs and cats, my primary base rate defaults to the standard dog sitting rate ($105), with any feline family members added via the additional cat tier ($25). Medication Note: I am happy to administer oral medications, provided they can be easily hidden or mixed directly into the pet's regular food. I structure my schedule to support multi-day stays where I can provide a consistent and reliable presence. I am available throughout the week and weekends for house sitting, and I plan my time so that pets receive attentive care and a stable routine. I may step out for short periods during the day, but I always prioritize maintaining a pet’s comfort and schedule. This allows me to provide a balanced, calm environment while ensuring your home and pets are well cared for. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their established routine so everything feels as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow feeding schedules, walking routines, and any specific instructions closely, while also providing companionship and attentive care. I treat each home with great respect and care, keeping everything clean, secure, and well maintained. I’m mindful of safety at all times and aim to create a calm, stable environment where pets feel comfortable and owners feel confident that everything is being handled responsibly.

About: A true professional will provide you with unparalleled peace of mind so you can focus on family, fun or work while traveling. I'm Brit, an independently insured pet sitter and local Tucsonan. Pet sitting is my full time job! Booking with me will make it as easy and stress free as possible to be away from your beloved pet(s). The Kitty Cottage is a lovely garden studio where your feline friends can relax in peace without the worries of traditional boarding solutions that involve sharing ventilation and space with pets from other households. It has 128 sqft of floor space as well as a 32 sqft loft. The cottage has been designed for excellent bird watching opportunities from every level - floor, cat furniture and loft. Accessibility can be modified based on your kitties' needs. Cats of all personalities and physical ability love the climate-controlled cottage overlooking a garden which hosts many birds, butterflies, and lizards daily. We have every kind of pet enrichment to offer so your cat will benefit from novel, mentally satisfying experiences every single day! Music made for cats softly plays throughout the day, with the soundtrack changed daily. A tablet plays games and videos for them. New toys, tunnels and rugs are brought in daily to provide novelty. The kitty cottage will be your cat's ultimate vacation! I am very comfortable caring for diabetic and aging or grumpy cats and my calm energy puts them at ease. Everything in the cottage can be moved or modified to suit kitties with mobility issues. Your beloved furry companion(s) will be happy and well cared for if you trust them with me! I visit the cottage several times a day, depending on your cat's social and medical needs. Frequent visits provide kitties with plenty of time to play, give and receive affection, engage with enrichment items, and enjoy some human company. Mealtimes and medications will be followed to the letter. Your cat will also see me in the backyard throughout the day, and I also check in on them via camera. The camera records all movement so I can review every moment of your kitty's day, ensuring they always have fresh food, water, and litterboxes. Camera access is available via the Ring app so you can check in on your kitty throughout their stay. Pet parents will receive professional-quality photos from every visit each day, as well as a 5+ minute video showcasing the highlights of your cat's day. If preferred, I can send clips throughout each day showing the highlights of their vacation in the cottage. Pickup and drop-off are free anywhere within 20 miles of Ina/Thornydale, but please note that I will not assist in finding or catching kitties for pickup. Cat(s) must already be in their carrier or crate at the pickup time scheduled. The standard cancellation policy may apply if your pet is not ready or able to be safely transported to the cottage. The cottage is safely situated behind locked gates on private property, and only accessible for dropoff or pickup with a scheduled appointment. A fee of $10/hour will be charged if pet parents are late for pickup. Circumstances requiring an exception to these stipulations must be discussed prior to booking, otherwise our standard fee and cancellation policies may apply. As for more info about me: I began cat sitting at 6 years old when I offered to feed my next door neighbor's cat lunch and scoop his litter box every weekday in exchange for a jar of dill pickles per week. Since then I have provided routine, kitten and elder care for the feline companions of friends, family and clients. I have 5 cats of my own who live in our main house, and being their Mom is a great source of joy in my life. Each has a unique personality and their own routine with me throughout the day, and I love spoiling them! Booking me will enable you to focus on fun, family or work while away because you have countless Instagram-worthy photos, lengthy high-quality videos and detailed notes from every single drop-in that really highlight the professional level of care your pets are receiving. When you contact me for a booking, I will want to know absolutely anything and everything you can tell me about your pet. Health history, personality, likes, dislikes, quirks, and concerns are especially important! There is no detail too small. There is no other boarding or drop-in sitter experience like this in the greater Tucson area, so book early to ensure your cats' next staycation is absolutely purrfect! If you want your pet to experience social and physical enrichment, genuine TLC, and consistently high quality care then please do book with me as soon as you have your schedule confirmed. From me you can always expect utmost safety and cleanliness, respect of your home and privacy, all requests dutifully followed, enriching playtime, exercise and affection for your pets, multiple high quality videos & pictures sent throughout walk or stay, all dietary and behavioral notes followed to the letter, never a last-minute cancelation or no show, and all health and safety precautions dutifully taken EVERY single time. You will rest easy knowing your pets are in the best hands because I only accept bookings for which I know I can provide the best possible care!

About: I have taken care of many dogs, cats, livestock and equine. Family and friends depended on me to walk, feed, bathe their animals, clean pens, etc. I am currently in school part time which gives me plenty of opportunities to watch and play with pups or other animals that you have. I will care for your pups as instructed in your home. I would like to have the opportunity to care for some at my own home, but I do not have that availability currently.

“We used Kayla as an in-home dog sitter for our dog while we away on vacation. Kayla was absolutely fantastic with our rescue pup, who can be reactive and fearful of new people. Kayla was very patient with our dog when first meeting her and demonstrated a great understanding of our dog's nonverbal cues, and our dog warmed up to and felt comfortable with Kayla very quickly. We appreciated Kayla's pics and updates. We have been searching for a long time for a new dog to sitter to be in home with our dog when we travel, and we have found a wonderful fit. Our dog. and home were very well taken care of. We have already booked Kayla to stay with our pup again.”

Sharmyne was a godsend when another Rover sitter canceled three weeks before the dates I needed someone. She took great care of my senior dog. It was wonderful not to be worrying about him while I was away. I would definitely recommend Sharmyne to anyone looking for a reliable and kind dog sitter

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sharmyne was absolutely fantastic! She took excellent care of our pets while we were away and gave us complete peace of mind. It was obvious from the start that she genuinely cares about animals, and she treated ours as if they were her own. She kept us updated throughout our trip, and when we got home our pets were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It’s such a relief to find someone who is dependable, trustworthy, and attentive. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely be booking with Sharmyne again. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional pet sitter!

FAQs for House Sitting - Oracle Junction

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Oracle Junction is $39 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $47 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 943 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Oracle Junction. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:

  • Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
  • Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
  • Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
  • Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.

The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Oracle Junction walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Oracle Junction maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:

  • Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
  • Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
  • Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.

<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Oracle Junction choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .

If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.

Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Oracle Junction. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
