“Allison was great with our fur babies and took extra care of our house while we were gone too -- she cleaned the pets' food bowls and brought in our trash cans too. Thank you!”
About: I’ve taken care of a wide range of dogs, from chihuahuas to greyhounds and pit bulls! I’ve cared for young and geriatric dogs, dogs with anxiety, and have experience giving medication (oral meds and eye drops!) I’m off for the summer before school, so my schedule is flexible! I have one recurring event Saturday mornings, other than that we can figure out what works best for you and your pet! My home is not available for pets right now, but I am happy to take care of your pet in their own home! I am open to dropping in as well as staying the night to keep them company! I would like to keep their routine as steady as possible, and am happy to play with them, let them out, take them on walks, etc. as best fits their normal schedule!
About: I’ve been caring for and pet sitting animals for as long as I can remember! I absolutely love and adore animals and honestly prefer them to people 😉. As a teacher on summer break, I’ve got lots of time on my hands to give your fur babies all the love and care they deserve. I have experience working in animal shelters as well as fostering dogs. I am a dog mama of 2 adopted Shar-Peis and am a cat mom as well. Unfortunately, they have lots of health issues therefore I have lots of experience administering oral medications, ear creams, eye creams…you name it! I also have experience taking care of senior and young pups. Though challenging, they deserve all the patience and love in the world. I am looking forward to getting to know you and provide excellent care for your baby! I’m a 5th grade teacher on summer break! I have a wide open schedule for the month of July. I have availability to do drop ins as well as stay the night with your pups while you enjoy summer vacations. I have a large backyard with an 8ft tall brick privacy fence that would be nearly impossible for your fur baby to escape. I will also keep tabs on them at all times to ensure their safety. When in others’ homes, I keep an eye on pets and spend time with them like they’re my own.
About: I have watched pets for friends, family, and others off and on for about 4 years. I have helped raise 2 puppies with my family and have aided in end of life care for 2 family dogs that passed away from old age. I have one dog right now, so I am familiar with the ins and outs of having a pet and what that entails. I also did a brief stint at a doggy daycare, so I am comfortable with dog handling, feeding, routines, cleaning up and anything else needed. If I’m being honest, I really don’t do much and I am trying to do more! I am interested in possibly working with animals as a career and I feel like this could be a great stepping stone. And i would also love something to fill my time! I love animals and getting to know them and their parent/s. I have a dog of my own that I help take care of with my mom and brother. I’m excited to make new furry friends. I will be taking care of your pet the same way I would mine! Feed and walk on whatever schedule is best and play as much as they would like. I also don’t yell at my dog, meaning I don’t raise my voice if she does something wrong, I don’t feel like that’s helpful or positive, so no raising voices to other pups either. I am eager to learn anything I need to in order to properly take care of your furry family!
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: I'm a current dog dad and lifelong animal lover with 16 years of experience caring for dogs and cats. Luna, my boxer, is my travel companion and my world, so your dog is in the hands that understand what they mean to you. You can rest easy knowing your loved one will get the attention of a family member with plenty of photos and updates along the way! I'm self-employed, with a fully flexible schedule that accommodates mornings, evenings, weekends, and even last-minute scheduling. Pet care fits naturally into my day, and I'm always happy to accommodate what works best for you. I take time to actually get to know each dog before diving in. I take time to understand their energy, their quirks, their needs, and their cues. I'm attentive, calm, and make sure every special requirement is understood and honored. Your dog won't just be cared for, they'll be comfortable and loved.
“We feel so lucky to have found Stephanie! She's been watching our pup for about 9 months now and it's such a comforting feeling knowing that while you're out that someone so sweet and reliable is hanging out with your best bud. I would 100% recommend her. She is a gem! And... she takes some pretty awesome photos of your baby too ?”
“Victoria was quick to respond to our request and provided us with great updates (including photos) - she is very professional and we recommend her if you are looking for a dog-sitter.”
About: I grew up with Dobermans and hunting dogs and owned a pet grooming, boarding and pet sitting agency along with raising my own animals including guinea pigs and cats. I work full time but have plenty of time for drop ins or walks in the mornings and evenings. I also am free all of Saturday and Sunday. I can also house sit on weekends if needed. I have experience with crate training, letting animals out and getting them back in and also walking with all types of leads. I am capable just spending time with your pet and playing with them and their favorite toy or game.
About: Hi there!! Besides getting to know your honorary favorite child I strive to create strong relationships with the whole family especially because I think it’s creates just a bit more serenity for the parents. I’ve house/pet sat for about the last 4 years but more consistently(monthly basis) for the last two years. The families I have stepped in for, have time and time again asked for me to come back and take care of their fur babies, there’s nothing better than coming home to a very excited pup especially when they know they’re going to get all their loving in:) ! I have grown up with all kinds of dogs, including a small 20lb chaweenie and exceeding quite large pups with the 3 English mastiffs I have had. No matter the size or age I have a well rounded experience with all of them and am very confident in my ability to bond as well as make your fur baby feel safe and happy even when they’re missing mom or dad! Currently I work in the restaurant industry and that allows for me to have most of my day open and not having to be gone an entire day (usually no more than 6 hours). Ideally them being house trained and possibly having a doggy door allows for a bit more flexibility, however if not, that is not a problem as long as I am given enough time in advance or a heads up on what your pet specifically needs so that I can effectively plan and make sure your pet is happy and healthy. My intention is to be flexible and ensure your pet stays uninterrupted in their day to day schedule and habits. Depending on family to family as each dog has their own set of specific needs and preferences, I usually go based on what they’re used to, such as a feeding schedule, exercise schedule or even a nap schedule, having that information easily accessible is something I do request especially to ensure a smooth transition away from your fur baby. I find it to be helpful especially if they have any “out of the ordinary” habits or just need extra special attention such as medication or enrichment activities. I feel that having the information especially for medications easily accessible creates just a bit more confidence and less room for error. As well as, you know them best! Anything that they might not like or things they might love help to make the time away from you just that much better for them,, I look for open communication as well as airing out any possible concerns for that time being. I understand leaving your fur baby can be hard but I know I am able to give them the love and attention they want and need.
“Robert is absolutely amazing! He is super helpful, keeps us updated on our pup, and has been very patient with Juno! Couldn't recommend a better sitter than him, and we're so lucky to have him helping us out!”
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.
“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!!”
“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.”
“Avriel did such a great job taking care of our two cats! We were especially floored that our shy cat came out for attention with every visit - that's amazing that Avriel was able to get her out of her shell. We will definitely be calling on Avriel again :)”
The median cost per visit for dog sitting in Oro Valley is $20

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!
We couldn't be happier with the care our dog received! Griselda provided dependable drop-in visits, and it was clear from the very beginning that she genuinely loves animals. She took the time to make sure our dog had fresh food and water, plenty of attention, exercise, and lots of affection during every visit. One of the things we appreciated most was the excellent communication. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious that our dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Finding someone you trust with a beloved pet is invaluable, and we felt completely confident knowing our dog was in such caring and capable hands. We came home to a relaxed, happy dog, and that says everything. We highly recommend Griselda to anyone looking for reliable, compassionate, and professional pet care. We will absolutely be booking with her again!
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!
We loved Kayla! We hired her to water our veggie plants twice a day while were were out of town. She showed up on time the morning before we left. She was polite, attentive, and had lovely manners. After we returned from our trip, it was clear that she had taken excellent care of our plants. Everything looked great! I would absolutely trust her with pets and would hire her again in an instant.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Oro Valley stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

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.

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 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.
