“Alison is always so responsive, even for last minute requests. She’s also great with sharing photos and updates. Our dogs can be reactive when outside and near other dogs, so it’s been great to find someone we trust.”
“Alyssa was great!! It was a pleasure to have her take care of Marley. She was dependable, easy to talk to, sent lots of updates and photos!! I highly recommend her and would use her again!!!”
About: I have been caring for animals since childhood and have always had dogs as part of my family. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience with feeding, walking, bathing, playtime, administering basic care, and recognizing when pets need extra attention. I currently have four cats, so I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats and understand that every pet has their own unique personality and routine. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members, and I’ll care for your pets with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. Whether it’s keeping them active, sticking to their routine, or giving them plenty of affection, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My availability is typically any time on weekends. I do my best to be flexible and can often accommodate requests with advance notice. If you have a specific schedule or timing in mind, feel free to reach out—I’m happy to work with you whenever possible! Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. I understand that every pet has unique needs and routines, and I’ll take the time to follow your instructions carefully so they feel comfortable and secure. I’ll provide plenty of love, attention, exercise, fresh water, and a calm environment while they’re in my care. I also believe in keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is happy and well cared for.
About: Hello, my name is Colin and I am a USN veteran and current 4th year medical student. I have a pet bunny named Clark. In my free time I love to run, hangout with friends and do CrossFit. I would love to walk your dog or take care of your pets in my free time :) When I am not at the hospital or studying I am usually free. My schedule is very flexible and changes depending on my current rotation. I am very attentive and will follow the instructions given to me along with general safety measures to ensure your pet is well taken care of.
“Ander did a wonderful job during the drop and visits for our dogs. He was able to administer eye drops and oral medication’s with ease. He always checked in before and after each visit. And he let the doggies out and played with them, which was really nice of him. I would hire him again anytime!!”
“We are truly grateful for Sheila. We could not have imagined a more perfect person to watch our cats while we were gone. If you are looking for someone who is going to love your pets and your pets will love, Sheila is who to ask.”
“Sky was absolutely amazing with my 3 cats. They loved her! She sent pictures and updates at every visit and always arrived in a timely manner for my kitties. Communication was amazing and I will definitely be rebooking Sky in the future.”
“Brit did an amazing job with drop ins caring for my cats. She was punctual and provided detailed updates with great pictures. I could tell my cats really enjoyed her visits! Highly recommend, would rebook!”
About: I understand the responsibility and trust that comes with caring for someone’s pet. I’m someone who takes commitments seriously, pays attention to details, and believes that every pet deserves patience, kindness, and consistency. My background has taught me how to be dependable, organized, and calm in unexpected situations. I work in an environment where communication, problem solving, and taking care of people’s needs are part of my everyday routine, and I bring that same mindset into caring for pets. I’m also someone who enjoys staying active and spending time outdoors. I understand that many dogs need more than just a quick walk they need attention, exercise, and someone who is willing to be present with them. I enjoy walking, being outside, and creating a positive experience for pets while keeping them safe. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine. Whether it’s a young pet that needs extra patience and attention, an energetic dog that needs exercise and playtime, or a senior pet that needs a calmer approach, I’m willing to learn their needs and provide care that makes them feel safe and comfortable. My goal is to give owners peace of mind knowing their pets are being treated with respect, attention, and genuine care while they’re away. Pet care would fit well into my routine because I’m someone who values responsibility, consistency, and taking care of things the right way. I currently have a structured schedule and I’m used to managing responsibilities, solving problems, and making sure people can count on me. Even though I haven’t had a pet in a long time, I understand how important pets are to their families. I know they are not just animals, they are part of someone’s home and daily life. I would treat every pet with patience, attention, and respect, making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. I enjoy being active, spending time outdoors, and building trust with others. I would bring the same level of commitment and care that I bring to everything else I do into taking care of someone’s pet. When caring for a pet in my client’s home, I would treat their home and their pet with the same respect and attention I would want for my own\. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, so I would take the time to learn their schedule, feeding instructions, walking preferences, and any special care they require. I believe consistency is very important for pets, especially when their owners are away\. I would make sure they receive attention, exercise, playtime, fresh water, and a safe environment while following all instructions provided by the owner. I’m someone who is organized, responsible, and pays attention to details\. My goal would be to give pet owners peace of mind knowing their pets are being cared for by someone who is dependable and genuinely wants them to feel comfortable and happy.
About: What sets me apart is my calm, patient approach and strong attention to detail. I make sure each pet feels comfortable and understood, and I take the time to learn their individual preferences, sensitivities, and quirks. Whether your pet needs structured play, slow-paced walks, medication given on schedule, or extra reassurance while you’re away, I’ve got them covered. I’m currently a full-time veterinary student, which gives me a flexible schedule for pet care. I’m able to fit visits, drop-ins, and walks around my classes, and I always make sure I have dedicated time to give each pet the attention they need. I treat your home with the same respect I give my own. I keep feeding areas clean, tidy up any messes, and make sure the space is safe before I leave. I’m detail-oriented and safety-focused, and I never rush through visits—I want every pet to feel cared for, not just “checked on.”
About: Hi, my name is Tamara. I'm new to Rover. I have lived with and cared for animals my entire life. I volunteer for a local pet rescue and absolutely love animals! I work from home Mon-Fri so I am home all day, which means your babies get a lot of attention, walks and potty breaks! Lucky them! I have a block walled backyard with lots of room for running around and playing. My neighborhood is very safe and since I work from home, I am there all day to keep an eye on your babies.
About: I can provide an energizing walk or run with your lovable pet, as much as I can spend a quiet, relaxing night in ensuring the comfortability and safety of your pet. I can accommodate baths, minimal grooming and brushing, medication and dietary needs. I have taken care of puppies less than a year old, senior dogs who need oral medication and diapers, and dogs like who are mid life adults who just want exercise and fun. I have cared for dogs from 5 lbs up to 50 lbs, and have taken care of new born kittens to adult cats. I’m currently a full time graduate student at the University of Illinois Chicago with free time outside of school. I enjoy pet care outside of classes. I abide by house rules when caring for pets inside the owner’s home or apartment. Having my own dog, I understand their safety inside and outside is important.
“Megan accepted my last minute booking with amazing communication. She took my call and followed my instructions to perfection. Would rebook in an instant. Thank you again Megan.”
About: 🐾 Hi! I’m someone who has grown up around animals my entire life — dogs, cats, bunnies, birds, and more — and caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life. From a young age, I helped care for family pets, and over the past several years, friends and neighbors have regularly trusted me to care for their pets while they travel or work. In December 2025, after multiple recommendations from friends and neighbors, I decided to join Rover to expand my pet care services within my community. What started as part-time pet sitting has recently grown into expanded availability for boarding, house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walks. I currently share my home with both dogs and cats, so I’m very familiar with daily routines, supervising interactions, reading body language, and creating a calm, structured environment for animals with different personalities and energy levels. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, exercise needs, comfort levels, behavior changes, medications, and making sure pets feel safe, secure, and cared for while away from their owners. I’m also comfortable administering oral medications with clear instructions from pet parents. I have experience assisting with injectable medications for cats as well and am comfortable following detailed instructions for administration and care. 🐶 What Makes My Care Special: • Lots of playtime, enrichment, walks, cuddle time, and attention • Interactive toys, feeders, chew toys, and activities to keep pets mentally stimulated • Consistent communication and photo updates throughout stays • A calm, loving, low-stress home environment • Care tailored to each pet’s personality, routine, and comfort level Because I have both dogs and cats at home, it’s important that pets staying with me are safe around small animals and cats. Friendly or indifferent is perfectly fine, but I cannot accept pets with a history of aggression, high prey drive, or unsafe behavior toward cats or smaller animals. I also like to discuss each dog’s comfort level, socialization, routine, and needs beforehand to make sure it’s a good fit for everyone. I’m also open to house sitting when it’s the right fit. Because I have pets of my own, they would need to come with me for longer stays. They’re friendly, well-socialized, and respectful in the home environment, and I always prioritize maintaining a safe, calm, and comfortable space for everyone involved. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets, so I truly aim to treat every animal like family while they’re with me. 🐶🐱💛 Pet care already fits naturally into my daily routine. My pets are very active, so walks, enrichment, playtime, and outdoor time are already a regular part of my day. I recently transitioned into doing pet care full-time and currently have expanded availability for boarding, drop-ins, walks, house sitting, and accepting new one-time and repeat clients. Because pet care is now my primary focus, I’m home the majority of the time and able to provide lots of supervision, attention, and companionship throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I maintain a clean, calm environment, supervise interactions closely, follow routines carefully, and do my best to make every pet feel safe, secure, and comfortable while in my care.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Oro Valley
Griselda took wonderful care of Jack once again! It gives us such peace of mind when we are away, knowing that he is in such caring and dependable hands. She is reliable, attentive, and genuinely cares about his well-being. She kept us updated throughout our trip, and we came home to a happy, relaxed, and well-cared-for dog. Having someone we trust completely with both Jack and our home makes traveling so much easier. We are so grateful to have found Griselda and will absolutely continue to use her whenever we travel. Highly recommend!
She did great after not seeing the dogs for quite some time. Our dogs are 2 young golden retriever and get very excited and she handles them well, we got updates for every visit with pictures. She is always on time which made me feel more at ease when we were on vacation.
Lucille was great! She took great care of my Doberman. She took my pup for walks and play fetch with him on her drop in visits! Her communication was excellent and she provided pictures/videos as well! Will definitely be my go to when I need someone to help out with my pup!
Olivia is amazing!! She dropped in several times over the past few days and took such good care of my senior pup Stryker. She even came by last minute for a visit when there was a conflict with the work schedule. Communicates very well and sends pics and videos. Will absolutely book her again!

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Oro Valley 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!
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Oro Valley with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
