About: I am currently a first-year veterinary student at the University of Arizona College of Veterinary Medicine, here in Oro Valley, AZ. As a student, I work with all kinds of animals, from companion animals to reptiles and farm animals! I graduated with my bachelor's degree in pre-veterinary science from Arizona State University in 2025 and hope to graduate with my Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) in 2028. - I've been an animal lover since I was a child! I've worked in veterinary clinics as a veterinary assistant throughout undergrad so I have a lot of experience with all kinds of pets. I love pet-sitting through Rover as a de-stressor from school, as animals always make me happy :) - Meet and Greets are a must before our first booking to ensure I’m a good fit for you and your pet(s). - Lastly, pet safety is my priority at all times. I ensure that homes are left in the same original condition as upon arrival and lock up according to the owner’s instructions. I am currently a full time professional student doing Rover on the side to help pay off my student loans! - I still have school over the summer! My classes are from Monday-Friday. The times we have are variable for each day and are range from 8am-5pm. - Drop-ins/dog walking: We usually have a 1-hour break at 11am where I can stop by if you live close to my school, or I can come when classes are over for the day. - House-sitting: I am fully available to house-sit on weekends, but I have classes on weekdays. Though I am still able to house-sit on weekdays, keep in mind that I may be not be able to stay at your house for a good chunk of the day, depending on the day. If you need weekday house-sitting, please reach out to me with the days you need and for how much of those days you need me to be at your house! I can check my schedule and get back to you. Sometimes, we have whole mornings off or get done super early, so it just depends. Drop-ins/walking: I will always message you the time I completed my visit and send you photos of your furry friend! I can provide you with any details of the visit you need such as if they went potty, how much they ate, etc. - House-sitting: I know it's nerve-racking to leave your pet home and go off on a trip. I can send you updates with photos as often as you'd like so that you feel confident that they are in good hands. I'll always keep an eye out on my messages during my stay so I can answer you and respond with updates. I will reliably follow the directions you provide for me, making sure your pet feels safe & secure. - Please provide specific instructions for pet and home care, including safety protocols in your home. Otherwise, I am careful to not disturb anything inside your home and will ensure your home is locked up properly.

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.
“Danika is a great communicator. Appreciated the text messages and pictures of the dogs. She was very considerate of the dogs in terms of the temperature outside for walks. Made adjustments to walking depending on the weather. Showed concern for our dogs' well-being and safety.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Pamela is a good communicator, prompt, and very kind to my Pippi. In less than a month, Pippi has fallen in love and eagerly walks out the door with Pamela. I feel completely comfortable knowing she is safe and in good hands. I have not used Pamela's services for overnight stays but I wouldn't hesitate to do so. Pamela's Pippi rating is A++!”
“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.
About: I have had pets my entire life and understand how important it is to know they are being well taken care of. I love all animals and would love to take care of your family member(s)! I recently retired and am learning how to navigate all the free time I now have. I have been a pet/animal lover my entire life. I look forward to caring for your family member. I will make sure that your instructions/preferences are adhered to and that everything is handled to your satisfaction and expectations.
“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: 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.
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.”

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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Oro Valley on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

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.
