About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a kid. Growing up, we always had at least 2 dogs and a cat. So, I’m very comfortable around animals and I just love petting them and getting to play with them! I’m currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to take care of and play with your pups or cats! I’m available Sundays, Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays all day and I’m available Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays before 8 am and after 5:30 pm. I will take really good care of your animal and treat them as my own! Animals are so precious to me and if it wasn’t for my husband’s allergies, I would own both a dog and a cat!
“We had Allyson do a drop in when we took a day trip to Phoenix. She had stayed with our pets for a long weekend, so we were perfectly comfortable that all would go well. And it did. She’s a great communicator and really cares about our animals. Highly recommend her!”
About: I grew up surrounded by pets, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I started dog sitting for friends while in college and have loved it ever since. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I work during the week, but I’m generally available in the evenings and have a flexible schedule on weekends. I’m happy to accommodate different needs whenever possible… it’s usually just a matter of coordinating schedules in advance 😊 I live in an apartment with access to a dog park right in the complex, so there is plenty of space for walks, playtime, and fresh air. I also love spending time outdoors and often visit parks, lakes, and hiking trails whenever I can. If a dog enjoys adventures, I would be happy to bring them along with me :)
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cats my entire life, so being around animals has always been something I enjoy. I also have two years of experience providing dog sitting, cat sitting, and grooming services. I recently moved to the Tucson area for school and am excited to start offering my pet care services here! I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and needs, whether that’s feeding, walking, playtime, grooming, or simply keeping them company. I know pets are family, and I’ll always make sure yours feel safe, comfortable, and loved! I currently work remotely, which gives me some flexibility throughout the week. I’m generally available in the evenings on weekdays, depending on the time, and I’m fully available on weekends. I do have pets of my own, so I make sure to plan my availability around their needs and routines as well. I’m happy to coordinate with pet owners ahead of time to find a schedule that works best for everyone! I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets with someone you trust. I will always make sure to follow their routines, pay attention to their needs, and keep them safe and comfortable. I’m also happy to send pictures and updates throughout the day so you know how your pets are doing. My goal is to make sure both you and your pets feel comfortable while you’re away!
About: I am a veterinary student but have 5 years of experience as a veterinary technician. I have vast experience in pet sitting, general practice, and emergency. I love hanging with pets and people! As a student my schedule during the week is more flexible. Some days I am done by 11am and others we are there from 8-5, but typically Monday - Friday. I plan to always leave it cleaner than I found it, cleaning up accidents if they occur. Additionally not going into places that are designated for me, I will not open doors if left shut.
About: I have had pets all my life, and have been fostering with PACC (Pima Animal Care Center, a local animal shelter), for almost 12 years now. I have extensive experience with cats of all ages, dogs from puppies to seniors including extra experience with large and giant breed dogs, and many reptiles including bearded dragons, geckos, snakes, and more. I love animals and love keeping up to date with new science and research on their their health, behavior, and best practices for their care and training. I also have taken the Red Cross pet first aid course in addition to my years of experience working with medical cases with my fosters and my own medically complicated pets. I work full-time, but because I am at a bakery I am out by late morning to mid-afternoon at the latest so I generally have all afternoon and evening to spend with your pets. I have a fenced yard for my own Great Dane mix rescue. He is excellent with cats, and with careful introductions is friendly with other dogs. I have cats of my own that have free roam of the house, but I do have a room kept separate that I use for quarantine and kitten and cat fostering so they have their own space away from the other animals.
About: I have been petsitting since I was 10 and have been volunteering at pima animal care center for 5 years. I am currently a veterinary student at the University of Arizona and am very experienced in animal care. I have pet sat all types of animals including dogs, cats, bunnies, parrots, and reptiles. I am also a private groomer for all sizes dogs. I am an online college student and I work part-time in the afternoons so I am able to care for pets morning and night without a problem. I have a very large backyard that is completely fenced and 2 dogs that are very sociable and kind. My sofas are open to any pet.
“Kailey took great care of my pack. We had an emergency come up mid-trip and they were more than willing to adjust on the fly and add days which really saved us! We will absolutely use them again.”
“Travis really went above and beyond. I can’t say enough about the care that he took with my dad’s cat while helping was hospitalized. I would highly recommend him to anyone!”
About: My whole life has been around animals including 2-3 dogs in my household, caring for a guinea pig, and loving on my friends’ cats. We raised several dogs from 6 week old puppies to their senior years. Since moving out on my own I have had the opportunity to dog sit for all ages of pups. I have also always taken a special interest in volunteering at local animal shelters. I would love the chance to look after and love your animal like my own. I recently moved to the area and have time before my program starts. My days are all about learning the area and preparing for classes so my availability is extremely flexible. Would also love to build relationships that can continue once my program starts and I can be a regular part of your pets life. I have reliable transportation and can be available most times of day. Not currently offering in home service but could be flexible for returning clients!
“Courtney is absolutely incredible! Our fur girls absolutely adored her and immediately went to her for cuddles and treats! If you are looking for someone who your pets will immediately connect with, Courtney is the pet sitter for you! She is friendly, a wonderful communicator and gives the best daily updates and photos ever!!! We are so grateful to have found her and look forward to our next adventure knowing that our girls will be well cared for”
“Amelia did an amazing job, my dog took to her immediately. She was very punctual, followed directions for his food and medication’s, closed all gates and doors, and even kept a lookout for unknown people at my home. I would definitely book with Amelia again!”
“Selina was very reliable and communicative! My dogs seemed to love her! When you’re away from home you worry about your pets but she sent pics that put my mind at ease! Will definitely request her again! Thank you Selina for your great care of my pups!”
About: I worked at a boarding business for about a year and a half for dogs and cats. I worked with all different sizes and breeds, and ages of dogs and cats. My job tittle including playing and cuddling with the animals, feeding the animals, cleaning where they stayed, and giving medicine to the animals that required it. I have a little more than basic knowledge of dogs and cats health and always try to stay up to date with that. I dog sit and cat sit for friends and families regularly aswell. I have always grown up around animals and if you were to ask anyone who knows me they will say I have always wanted to work with animals since I knew what a job was. I am currently a college student and am majoring in wildlife conservation, while that's not specifically a major for cats and animals I still have and will learn a lot about those species as well!! I currently don't have a job so my schedule is really open. I work out everyday usually in the mornings to early afternoons. But I have a very flexible schedule! I have a fenced backyard just under 2acres of land. So it is very spacious for bigger dogs to run around in! I am able to walk dogs for however long.
“Absolutely AMAZING! First time ever using Rover and I am completely satisfied. Loved knowing how my fur babies were doing! Definitely would recommend Maddison She is an AMAZING communicator and went up and beyond. I definitely will be using this service again when I need it!”
“Fiona is very invested in each and every one of her canine clients and she really cares about the experience for both pet and pet parent. Fiona was timely, communicative and empathetic. She did wonderfully with our younger dog who was new to having a dogsitter, and our senior lab mix - each of which have very different needs. I highly recommend Fiona!”

Absolutely Wonderful Pet Sitter! Griselda is simply outstanding! We couldn't ask for a more caring, dependable, and trustworthy person to take care of our beloved Jack. She treats him with such kindness, love, and attention, and it gives us tremendous peace of mind knowing he is in such wonderful hands whenever we're away. Griselda is reliable, thoughtful, and genuinely devoted to Jack's well-being. It's obvious that she truly loves animals and takes great pride in providing exceptional care. Knowing that Jack is happy, comfortable, and well cared for makes all the difference to us. We feel incredibly fortunate to have found Griselda and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional pet sitter. She is an absolute gem, and we look forward to having her care for Jack again and again! Thank you, Griselda, for taking such wonderful care of our sweet boy!
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!
Laura took really good care of our pug and kitty (who needs daily medication). Great communication, we got updates on how they were doing. I also appreciated Laura coming over before we left to make sure she knew all of our instructions etc. I would definitely have her watch our pets again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Oro Valley is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $28 per visit. 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 November 2026, there are 1,354 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Oro Valley. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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. 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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
