“Robyn was amazing. My fur babies loved her. She took wonderful care of them. I was extremely happy and relieved. I could actually enjoy my time away knowing that they were in very capable hands. Robin also left my place cleaner then I left it. She is exceptional.”
About: With 30+ years of life with cats & dogs, I bring calm, loving, experienced care tailored to each dog or cat’s unique needs. I pay close attention to routines, energy levels, and personalities, whether that means long walks, slow strolls, playtime, or quiet companionship. My goal is for your cat or dog to feel safe, understood, and genuinely cared for, not just watched, while you’re away. I own my own business and work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule. Because I’m in control of my day, dogs/cats get consistent attention, timely walks, meals on schedule, and plenty of companionship, never long stretches alone. This allows me to truly adapt to each dog’s/cat’s routine, energy level, and individual needs. I’m happy to care for your dog/cat in the comfort of your own home, where they feel safest and most relaxed. I follow your routines closely, i.e. walks, meals, medications, and playtime, so your dog’s/cats’s day stays familiar while you’re away. Being in their own space helps reduce stress and keeps things calm and comfortable.
“Lauren Kim is a first rate, 5 star pet sitter! Would rehire anytime if/when available. Lauren took extra care with our dog, Arni, and went out of her way to make him feel at home, and comfortable. Lauren looked after his daily needs like the professional she is!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Danielle. She took excellent care of our dog, giving him plenty of attention and love, and keeping to his usual routine as well as sending updates multiple times a day. She also treated our home with great care and left everything clean and in perfect condition. We came home feeling completely at ease, knowing both our dog and our house were in good hands. We have already scheduled Danielle to stay with our dog again in a couple of weeks.”
“Madison was great! She sent me regular updates about my dog and he seemed super happy to have her company. She was responsive and easy to work with and everything was in order when I got back. Would recommend for anyone needing someone to watch their pet.”
“Marcie was super sweet with Sonya. She sent us tons of pics and was very responsive which we really appreciated! She also treated our house like her own and left without a trace. Highly recommend Marcie to watch your pet.”
“Makenna was ready to help me with very short notice and when I had a sick puppy. She cared for both my pets with attention and care. I got a lot of pictures and I got home to very happy pets.”
“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.”
“Sara was wonderful-sent pictures daily with updates-pets happy and content when we returned home. Our home was left in perfect condition. She is a kind and caring individual who we will most certainly use again. Would give her ten stars if we could! Patti and Bill”
“Kat took amazing care of our pup while we were away! She went above and beyond to keep her happy and relaxed—giving her massages, making sure she got plenty of exercise, and even playing calming music to help her feel at ease. It was clear our dog was in loving, attentive hands the whole time. We came home to a relaxed and happy pup. Highly recommend Kat for anyone looking for a thoughtful, reliable sitter!”
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: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and have grown up surrounded by pets. I’ve had dogs and other animals of my own, and caring for animals has always been something I genuinely enjoy. I currently volunteer regularly at local animal shelters, including the Arizona Humane Society, where I get to spend time caring for and supporting animals in need. I also have previous dog-sitting experience from high school and am excited to get back into it! While I’m unable to have a dog of my own right now because of school, dog sitting gives me the opportunity to spend time with the animals I love. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own, with patience, attention, affection, and plenty of love. 🐾❤️ I work full-time Monday through Friday from 8 AM–5 PM. If you’re located close to my workplace, I have a full hour lunch break and can stop by for a midday check-in, potty break, or some extra love and attention. For dog sitting, I’m available after 7 PM on weekdays and can do overnight stays, as I typically like to hit the gym after work. Weekends are where I have the most flexibility and I’m fully available to give your pets plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles. 🐾❤️ I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and will always do my best to provide reliable, consistent care! When caring for pets in your home, I have a consistent routine that can easily be adjusted to fit your pet’s normal schedule and needs. I naturally wake up around 7 AM and start my day with a morning walk or run, which I’d be happy to include your pup in! Since I live in Arizona, I’m mindful of the heat and will plan outdoor activities for earlier in the morning or cooler times of the day to keep your pet safe and comfortable. Throughout the day, I’ll set aside dedicated time for play, attention, and enrichment. I also enjoy incorporating simple training exercises into playtime when appropriate, especially if your pet enjoys learning and mental stimulation. I do set aside about two hours each day for the gym, so there will be a short period when I’m away. Outside of that, my schedule is very flexible, and I’m happy to adjust my routine around your pet’s feeding, walking, medication, bathroom, and rest schedule. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable, cared for, and right at home while you’re away. 🐾❤️
About: For many years, I worked at an off-leash dog daycare. I would be responsible for 50+ dogs solo! I have lots of experience reading dog body language, handling dogs of all different kinds of temperaments, and stopping dog fights. My specific area of expertise was shy and untrusting dogs (we will become fast friends, I promise)! I also can perform basic first aid, and I am extremely experienced with seizures. Any meds I can also handle! I’m happy to dedicate my full attention to your pets right now! I’ll also make sure to stick to your pets’ schedule and routine when it’s needed. My number one priority is the safety of pets. I am extremely experienced with stopping and preventing dog fights. I can also provide first aid to pets. I also am experienced in safely dealing with seizures.
“Terry did an amazing job pet sitting our babies. We had never been away from them so I was worried about how they would react, and they did very well because Terry loves animals and knows how to make them feel comfortable and happy! I highly recommend Terry and will definitely use her again if needed!”
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.
“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.”
“Kelly came for a meet and greet, and was engaging with both of our pups within minutes. We are new to the area, and so for our first sit just had a day out in town. She kept us up to date with pictures and notes about what the pups were doing, and was good about asking questions when needed. We will be happy to have Kelly sit for us again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Oracle Junction
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.
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!
Robyn helped us out with a last minute request for pet sitting as a result of a cancelled flight. She responded quickly and took great care of our pets until we could get home. Robyn is very reliable and we really appreciate her consistent communication and willingness to go the extra mile!

The average cost of House Sitting in Oracle Junction is $39 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $47 per night.

As of November 2026, there are 942 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.
Tip: 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 Rover Guarantee, 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
