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!”
“The cats seemed happier and less stressed this trip. Appreciated extra help with bringing in a package and garbage can without being asked. She sent pictures of all 3 kittys in some of their favorite but hard to find hiding places, even under our bed. Instead of leaving the keys under the front door mat where someone might find them before we got home, she messaged me she'll drop them off when we're home. I would highly recommend Kylee if you're looking for someone who gives the best pet care but who also cares about things not necessarily expected of 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 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.
About: I have taken care of many dogs, cats, livestock and equine. Family and friends depended on me to walk, feed, bathe their animals, clean pens, etc. I am currently in school part time which gives me plenty of opportunities to watch and play with pups or other animals that you have. I will care for your pups as instructed in your home. I would like to have the opportunity to care for some at my own home, but I do not have that availability currently.
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: Hi !! My name is Julia and I have a little over a year and half of pet sitting experience. I mainly sit for family and family friends, but am hoping to do so for people all over my community through rover. I also have 2 lovingly annoying cats of my own, who I absolutely cherish and adore. My typically sitting duration varies. I've sat for a little as just a few days to up to multiple weeks on end. If you're especially looking for someone who is up to pet sit for a good extended period of time ( multiple weeks to even a whole month's worth) I would be the most perfect match for you. I would consider myself very well versed in all matters of pet responsibilities as I've worked with dogs both big and small and practically every house I've sat for has always had a cat. ( Kitten to elderly) Whether it be strict feeding and walking schedules, cleaning and changing litterboxes or even dealing with vets and groomers, I always do my best to ensure the best care I can for any pet I watch and I would love to work with you and your furbaby(ies) if given the opportunity. :) I am currently in school completely my pre-requisite for nursing which fortunately I have been able to do online so pet sitting has been a wonderful addition into my routine, allowing me to complete school while working. I tend to care for pets at my clients houses. Typically for overnight/ long stays, but I also have done and will do the occasionally routine check-in. I always communicate with clients and follow whatever instructions they have given me. I'll also keep you updated throughout the day on how things are going and every evening send photos of your furbabies. If ever an issue or uncertainty arises I'll always reach out to see how you would like me to proceed before doing. Unless its a time sensitive matter then I do my best to take resonable initiative. ( though thankfully I haven't had any problems or concerns arise)
“Jennifer was great checking on my cat while I was away. Reliable and provided photos of the check in, and even brought in a package at the door. Will use her again!”
About: I’ve always had a special love for animals and have years of experience caring for dogs. I’m responsible, patient, and attentive, and I understand how important it is to leave your pets with someone you can trust. I work full-time with three 12-hour shifts each week, which means I have several full days off to dedicate to pet care. While I’m unavailable during my work shifts, my days off allow me plenty of time for walks, drop-ins, sitting, and giving your pets lots of love and attention. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priority. I provide a clean, calm and caring environment, follow your instructions and your pet’s routine, and give every pet the attention and supervision they deserve. I’m also happy to keep pets separated from my own dogs when needed.
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!
About: Dogs have been part of my life since I was 5, and I treat every pup I care for like my own. I'm the go-to dog sitter for family and friends whenever they travel, and I've comfortably cared for up to 4 dogs at once. I'm also happy to do solo walks for dogs who prefer one-on-one attention. I've walked puppies, seniors, high-energy dogs, and anxious dogs, and I'm comfortable in all kinds of settings, from quiet trails and neighborhood paths to busy dog parks and downtown streets. Every walk is matched to your dog's energy and personality. I also have experience with dogs who need extra care. I looked after a 90 lb Lab-pit mix with cancer, carrying her downstairs for potty breaks and back to bed. I've also cared for a 35 lb Lab/Basenji mix with a heart condition, keeping to slow strolls so he could get light exercise without raising his heart rate. If your dog has special needs, I know how to adapt. I'm flexible with walk times to work around the Arizona heat and keep your dog comfortable. You'll get photo or video updates during every walk, and I'd love to start with a free meet-and-greet so your dog and I can get comfortable before the first walk. I have a pretty flexible schedule during the week so taking the time needed to be with your dog is no issue. Morning and mid days are the ideal time for me to care for your furry friend. Your dog's safety and comfort come first, whether I'm walking them, dropping in, or sitting at your home. Before the first visit, I like to do a meet-and-greet to learn your dog's routine, personality, triggers, and any health needs, plus your vet's contact info and emergency instructions. On walks, I keep dogs securely leashed, watch their body language, and adjust the pace and route to their energy and age. I bring water, schedule walks around the Arizona heat, and avoid hot pavement. For dogs who need extra care, like seniors or dogs with medical conditions, I follow your instructions on exercise limits, medications, and mobility help. When I'm in your home, I keep doors and gates secure, follow your feeding and potty schedule, and keep the space clean and calm. If dogs don't get along, I keep them separated and offer solo walks. If anything seems off, I'll contact you right away and follow your emergency plan.
“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!”
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 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.
“Leticia did great with my two dogs and one cat! She sent photos at every drop in and met with us before starting to go over our details and meet the pets. Highly recommend!”
About: *** EXCLUSIVE BOOKING ONLY*** I do not take more than one booking at a time. It’s not worth the risk of unacquainted animals not getting along. So your booking would be your pets only during their stay. I’m relatively new to Tucson. I’m a freelance video producer/editor, so I work from home. I recently had to put my staffordshire terrier down and have been looking for a way to ease back into owning an animal. I figured this would be a great way to be around pets without the full commitment it takes to owning a pet again. I grew up around dogs and cats and have used rover before as a customer. I used to have to travel a LOT for work. 30-35 weekends a year on the road. So I boarded my dog, a LOT. It broke my heart to leave her but I felt good knowing the people I left her with were taking care of her like I would. That’s the exact same kid of care you’ll come to expect from me. I need frequent breaks from my desk, so walks and playing are always a matter of moments away. I have a 2 bedroom condo, with a fenced in backyard and a doggie door to get out into the patio. Pets are welcome on the furniture or in bed if that’s what they’re used to. Obviously any dietary restrictions, health needs, walking/grooming habits, favorite toys, best spots to scratch, etc will be considered. I work full time as a freelance video producer and editor, and I work mostly out of my home office. That means I’m available 24/7 to care for your pets. I have a 2 br condo, with a fenced back yard and a doggie door that leads to the patio/back yard. The condo complex is secured and very friendly. There are two separate dog friendly areas in my condo, and plenty of walking and parks nearby.
The median cost per visit for dog sitting in Oro Valley is $20

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.

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.
