“I had adopted a German Shepherd, and 4 days later asked Sophia if she could watch him for 7+ days. She took on this immense responsibility with such class, kindness, warmheartedness, and with a true desire to make his experience the best she could give him. Her communication was second to none by responding quickly to texts (within the hour), making time for FaceTimes, sending pictures, and updating frequently as asked. She made my mind and travel experience at ease knowing that she was taking great care of my brand new baby boy. Mind you, this was all over the Christmas holiday. Her sacrifice during the holidays was incredibly appreciated and I would recommend Sophia to anyone who needs comfort knowing that their animal is in wonderful hands.”
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: 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.
About: Yoga teacher & animal lover with a flexible schedule. I’ll bring calm energy to your home & pet care. 13 years experience with dogs & cats! Pet sitting fits easily around my yoga teaching and remote work. My flexible schedule lets me visit, walk, and care for pets throughout the day with calm, reliable attention. I create a calm, loving space with mindful routines—feeding, walking, play, and snuggles—keeping pets relaxed, safe, and happy while following each owner’s unique preferences for care.
“I cannot put into words how great Travis has been. My dad was in the hospital and Travis took so much extra care with his cat. The cat was independent and a little skittish, but Travis took time and extra effort to make sure she played and got attention during a stressful time. HIGHLY recommend. A true cat lover and kind person.”
About: I love animals as if they were my children. I have 3 dogs at my house currently who I adore and spoil everyday. I’ll take nice long walks, give treats to those who are well behaved and pet them till my hand falls off. I hope to make a difference in your animal’s life and become a friend to them. If you have any concerns or questions please let me know. I’m very respectful and friendly. I want to ensure your animals are in good care and to build that trust between myself and my clients. Thank you! I currently have a very flexible and open schedule to accommodate to anyone’s needs. I would love the opportunity to discuss what best suits you and your animal to keep the on their routine as much as possible. I can follow any rules you may have regarding where to place the pets during certain hours. I love outdoor time so we can go outside as much as needed.
“This was our first time using this service and we couldn't be more pleased. Valerie was amazing! She went above and beyond our requests and expectations. She was so kind and loving to our large bloodhound. I can't stress enough how happy we are with Valerie's care with our girl Molly. I would highly recommend Valerie to everyone! Thank you Valerie and Rover for such a great service!”
About: With over 10 years of professional pet care experience, I provide knowledgeable, compassionate care tailored to each animal’s needs. My background includes managing the Canine Behavior Department at the Humane Society, where I specialized in working with fearful, reactive shelter dogs. I also led the New Beginnings program, teaching incarcerated men how to safely handle and train dogs preparing for adoption. In addition to pet sitting and daycare experience, I have veterinary technician experience caring for both dogs and cats, giving me a strong understanding of animal health, behavior, and safety. I’ve trained dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and temperaments using patient, positive methods focused on building trust and confidence. Whether your pet needs structured training, extra patience, medical awareness, or simply loving care while you’re away, I bring experience, reliability, and genuine passion to every animal I work with. I am available full-time to care for your fur babies, which allows me to give them the attention, care, and companionship they deserve throughout the day and night. Don’t worry about your pets having to leave their familiar environment or stray from their routine. I provide personalized care, training, and enrichment for your pets in the comfort of their own home, helping them stay happy, relaxed, and stress-free while you’re away.
About: Growing up in Arizona I was always around animals. Dogs,cats,horses, even ducks and other farm animals. I am absolutely in love with connecting with dogs. They bring me so much joy and I love seeing there tails wag :) I am extremely patient and love staying active and can help you with whatever you need. I decided to join Rover for fun because I live connecting with dogs so much. I do not have a dog of my own and would love to rescue as many as I can in the future. I am a student and veteran in the reserves. I am available anytime I am not in class during the week. My work schedule is flexible. I have dog sat for many of my friends and family members since I was younger. I have also recently been helping my neighbors with their dog since they have been traveling a lot. Cant wait to meet you and make a new furry friend!:)
“Mikayla was an absolutely wonderful caretaker for our older cat, Noodle. We have already booked her again for our next trip! She gave helpful updates each visit, was very prompt, and our cat was extremely well cared for, including her daily meds. Would 100% recommend her!”
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.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 8 years old. I had 2 black labs as a kid, both of which I cared for immensely. As an adult I’ve taken care of golden doodles, pugs, and dachshunds. I love going for dog walks, pet cuddles, and just having an extra companion around the house. I am currently working about 6 hours a day Monday through Friday, so it leaves plenty of time to play with the pups. I am available for boarding every day of the week. I have a fenced yard and a doggy door, however it’s only conducive for a small dog (about tenish pounds). The doggy door is small and is perfect for my MIL dachshund and the fence is only about 3 feet high. However we do have a big dog park in our neighborhood, which is completely fenced in. It’s perfect for the big and very active golden doodle I watch. We also have a very nice neighborhood for dog walks. Our house is pet friendly, with plenty of space. We do not have any permanent pets living here.
About: I grew up with animals my entire life! I have been around dogs, cats, hedgehogs, and fish. Growing up, I always had two dogs at a time. The very first dog I had was named Halley. Then came, Bop, Midnight, Sandy, and Kingsley. I currently have two cats, Spazz, and Rasha. I also, have a 2 year old dog as well, named Jax. He still has puppy in him. (very high energy) I have also, cared for hedgehogs, and fish. My hedgehog was Eminem. I had a 55 gallon tank with all sorts of freshwater fish! In the past I have volunteered at a no kill cat shelter for 6 months. I would help, clean the facility, and hang out with the cats. I have experience with all different breeds and sizes of dogs, and cats. I also have experience with special needs, and animals with chronic illnesses. I have experience with puppy's, kittens, and senior dogs. I prefer Friday-Monday, but I am flexible during the entire week! Tuesday and Thursday's are my most busy day's. I am happy to work around your schedule. I am a big believer in reading body language. Usually you can tell if a pet doesn't like something. I believe it is very important to let them communicate what they like and don't like. Some animals are more comfortable in their own home, and I would prefer not to move them. Other animals are excited about adventures somewhere else. My philosophy is to do whatever it takes to make them comfortable! Communication with owners is important to figure out all these details!
“El was so sweet and a wonderful sitter for my kitty over the weekend. Excellent communication and lots of photos in the daily updates. I came back to a very tidy apartment and happy cat. I would definitely book her again!”
About: I’ve grown up with both big and small dogs and have been caring for animals for years. I’ve volunteered at the Humane Society, where I helped with feeding, walking, socializing, and basic grooming. I’ve also provided dog walking and pet care for friends, family, and neighbors. I’m very friendly, patient, and attentive, and I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I’ve also had experience with exotic animals, rodents (hamsters, rats, bunnies) and snakes, as well as chickens! I’m currently unemployed and actively looking for work, which means I have a very open and flexible schedule for pet care. I’m available most days and times, with the exception of Tuesday and Thursday mornings when I attend classes at Pima Community College. Outside of that, I can easily accommodate walks, drop-ins, boarding, and extended care, and I’m happy to adjust my routine to fit your pet’s needs. I prioritize creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. I closely follow feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any special instructions provided by owners. I make sure pets are always supervised, secure, and treated with patience and kindness. I’m attentive to behavior, health, and comfort, and I communicate clearly with owners so they can feel confident their pet is in good hands.
“Mya did an amazing job with our pups! They’re a little anxious/high strung, but she was very intuitive with them and has a naturally calming energy that helped them be at ease right away. We are always nervous to leave our babies with someone new, but she is so good with them and communicative with us, which really gives us peace of mind. She was also very generous with her time, taking extra care to go out of her way to do a meet and greet and get to know them before we left. I would highly recommend Mya to anyone looking for kind, compassionate care for their pups. Mya is punctual, responsible, and skilled at what she does. It is clearly more than just a job for her, and you can tell she really cares. Thank you Mya!!”
“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!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Oro Valley
Griselda took wonderful care of our dog, Jack, while we were away for 19 days. She came three times every day and was incredibly dependable, attentive, and caring. Being gone that long can be stressful with a pet at home, but knowing Griselda was looking after Jack gave us peace of mind. She was consistent throughout our entire trip, and we came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog. We are so appreciative of the care and attention she gave him and would absolutely trust her with Jack again. Highly recommend Griselda!
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.
