“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!”
“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 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.
“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!!”
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 grew up loving pets and taking care of our rat terrier Sami. I begged my mom to start volunteering with me at the local animal shelter since I was too young to go alone. I spent years walking dogs, cleaning kennels and assisting with temperament training. In high school I started volunteering with horses and cats at a local stable. As an adult, I have spent the last 7 years working with my own rescue dog, a black lab named Loki. He was very nervous and reactive when I first adopted him but has become the sweetest dog. I am comfortable with all breeds, as well as administering medications. If I hadn't gone into a career in human medicine, I definitely would have gone into veterinary medicine! I recently graduated from physician assistant school and am awaiting hospital credentialing to start work in a few months, my schedule is pretty open right now. I am happy to follow any instructions you provide on how to best care for your pet. I am comfortable crating and cleaning up after pets.
“Brit is absolutely wonderful! She makes a point to come to the house before we leave to ensure she knows where everything is and then when we are gone, she does an excellent job with the cats. She goes beyond just making sure the basic are covered; litter box, food, water. She takes the extra time to play with them, brining lots of toys, and making sure they get the attention they need. After her last visit, she left a goodie bag for the cats which they and my one year old are enjoying! Leaving the cats behind can be hard, but Brit makes it easy and I know that our cats will be well cared for ❤️”
“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 ?”
About: I have experience with all types of energy levels - energetic, puppies, and seniors. I tailor care based on the needs of the animals, whether it's calm companionship or adventurous outings. My natural bond with animals helps them feel secure and loved. My fox terrier Picket often provides additional companionship if desired, he's wonderful with other dogs and cats. Pet care fits perfectly into my lifestyle as an online wellness business owner. Working from home allows me to be present with your animals in the comfort of their home throughout the day and also allows me to be active with them. When I am at a clients home, I prioritize the pets comfort and safety, keeping their routines consistent. I am mindful of their environment, ensure secure spaces, following all house rules, providing plenty of attention. I'm attentive to each pet's emotional needs, calm companionship or playful activity. I will always treat your home with respect.
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 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.
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.
“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 :)”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Oro Valley
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!

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.
