“We love Pam! Timmy took to her immediately and they became buddies in no time. She is so good with him and always sends the cutest pictures! She is very reliable and always on time. I would very happily use her again and can't recommend her highly enough!”
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: My husband & I are empty nesters who can’t bear the loss of another fur baby. We have been around animals our whole life. We lost out little tortie kitty approximately 5 years ago. We have taken care of friends pups since then for sometimes up to 5 weeks. We both are retired so availability is wide open & want to care for your pet which would make our hearts happy My husband & I are both retired so availability is open & ready to care for your furry family member. We look forward to meeting you Our back, side & front yards are fenced but any outside potty breaks; on or off leash, would ALWAYS be supervised with my full attention. I will accommodate whatever needs your pet may have. I am a retired CMA so I could manage any medical needs your pet may have.
“Emily was able to help us very last minute and was very patient with our dog Rio, he was a bit shy at first but she was able to bring him around with kindness. Thank you again Emily!”
About: I’ve cared for everything from turtles and chickens, to dogs and rabbits from a very young age. There’s nothing like creating connections with our non-verbal but ever-loving friends. Recently laid off from the tech sector and enjoying caring for fuzzy friends before throwing myself back into the rat race. I have two independent daughters who also love caring for “all the fur babies!” Your pet will be treated as one of ours. We have a brick fenced back yard, mid-sized home just west of Oro Valley proper. Our neighborhood has lots of walking paths and there’s even a dog park 3 minutes away.
“We are so pleased with Jennifer’s work ethic and communication. There were a few glitches on our side, she gladly worked with us. We will definitely use her again for our dog, and our family dogs.”
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.
“Abriana is fantastic, very patient. Abriana took as much time as my guy Otis needed to get comfortable. It worked :). Otis, who is extremely skittish, warmed up and even sat on Abriana’s lap!!!! Thank you, Abriana!!!”
About: Why Rover: Growing up with pets my whole life, I know much we love our animals. I have two dogs of my own, have fostered over 200 puppies through Home2Home STL, have trained two service dogs over the span of two years, and there is nothing I would rather do in my free time than spend it with pets! About Me: I am 21 years old and I recently moved to from St. Louis to Tucson. I am a full time student pursuing a degree in marketing. In March of 2026, with the help of Arizona State University, I was able to create my initiative titled "Speak For Those Who Can't" with the mission of helping local shelters and educating the public on unhomed dogs in Pima County. Professional Experience I am currently employed at a senior living facility. During my time in St. Louis I worked at McCready Law and was Team Lead at Everbowl. I have also been a professional nanny and have extensive childcare experience and certifications. I am trustworthy, hardworking, and responsible--but importantly, I will care for your pets as if they were my own. Feel free to check out my gallery to see images of my own dogs as well as some that I have cared for, and don't hesitate to reach out with any questions! As a college student completing my degree online, I have a fairly flexible schedule. I understand that every pet is different, and that they like to stick to their routine-especially if their owner is away. Whatever your pet needs (specific feeding times, their favorite walking route, toys, etc.) I will be able to provide! In my home, I own two dogs- one pug (Bella) and one lab (Penny.) For their safety I do not bring client's animals into my home, but since I own my own dogs, I know how important it is to trust whoever is taking care of them. When letting someone into your home and around your animals, I understand first-hand how important safety is on both ends. I have nannied and pet sat professionally since I was 16 and am now 21, and I can assure you that safety and respect for your pets and your home are my top priority.
“Can’t recommend Rachael enough! Zuko always comes back well-exercised and happy after each walk with Rachael. I also love that she provides updates and photos, which made me feel reassured while I’m away. I just really appreciate the care she provides to Zuko! I will definitely be booking Rachael again in the future.”
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’ve taken care of both dogs and cats for the past 5 years! We have a little cat that we rescued during the pandemic so I love to be around all different types of cats! I’m currently working remotely on East Coast Time so my schedule is very flexible during both weekdays. I should be flexible for walking and sitting on weekends as well I’ve been dog walking for years and taking care of cats for a long time. I know how much pets need attention and I’m excited to give them time and attention!
“Christian is very good with my pug mix, Clara, and we use him for boarding and walking regularly. He was also willing to negotiate a price for me on multi-day walks. He is always pleasant and friendly, and doesn't mind when I have to make last-minute bookings due to my changing schedule. I am very happy with his service!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Oro Valley
Griselda is great! Hadn’t used her for several years because I had no need for a pet sitter. I was so glad she was still on Rover. I rescued a dog in the time since she’d helped me out, so she took care of both the cat and the dog this time. I’d use her again for sure.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Oro Valley. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Oro Valley.

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.
Every walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Oro Valley. On Rover:
- 97% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% can help with daily exercise
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 walker.
