“Pamela was great. My Lucy can be a little demanding and is a high energy dog. Knowing that Lucy was starting her day with a long walk made me feel better about leaving her with my mom for a few days. I think we will plan more vacations!”

About: My name is Kat Johnson! I am available for house-sitting stays for cats and dogs of all breeds and care levels. I have several years of experience caring for both cats and dogs. I’m a graduate student at SNHU and I previously worked for PetSmart as a groomer. I’ve been trained in pet care and safety, with new updated training on a regular basis. I have experience pet sitting with pets of all breeds and ages. I love animals and I can promise they’ll be more than pampered under my care. I’m looking to make a little extra money here and there while I’m in school. Customer satisfaction and pet safety are among my top priorities. I’m incredibly flexible and I will work with each and every Pet Parent to provide the best service possible. I look forward to working with you! ❤️ I'm currently working under the USFS in the Red Rock Ranger District! I work 4 days per week which are standard 8 hour days. This means your pet won't be left alone for long periods and well supervised! Updates and close montoring will always be provided to your pet. Every pet is different and it's my goal to ensure that your pet's individual needs are met. I have pets of my own and several years of experience pet sitting. In that time, there has never been any safety incident under my care. Even so, I'm prepared for any scenario and always have emergency plans in place with each pet parent to give you peace of mind while you are away. Customer satisfaction and care of both your pet and your home can be ensured when you book with me!

“Cambria was an excellent dog walker. She stepped in during a time when we were dealing with an illness and unable to give our dog the attention he needed. We felt completely comfortable with her caring for our little guy, and we would gladly hire her again in the future.”

About: Animals have always held a special place in my heart. I have been pet sitting since my early teens through Facebook inquiries and I previously had been pet sitting through Wag. (I still pet sit through Wag, but I wanted to give Rover a chance!) I have dogs and cats of my own, so I understand that every animal has different needs and different boundaries. I believe in being respectful, attentive and patient as I want all animals to be comfortable while I’m in their presence. I will never push an interaction or push a pet beyond what they are comfortable with. My goal was very simple! I just wanna make sure that they feel safe and happy even while their owner is away. I’m currently going to school while working full time at at hospital while ALSO saving for my wedding so naturally that makes my budget very tight. so, Rover is a way to earn extra income while doing something I geniunely love. Being a young adult working toward big dreams can be challenging, so I am grateful for the opportunity to turn my love for animals into something meaningful. Another fun part about having your pets watched by me, by the time you get home, there will be a small portrait of your pet/s! I am an artist that sells work on the side and it brings me joy to make your experience just a bit better. I typically work night shifts Sunday-Tuesday so outside of that, I have lots of free time. during the nights that I work, I would of course communicate to the pet parent my limited hours in the evening. But outside those days, I am completely free and I am able to do as many check ins as the pet parent needs. I ensure I read any instructions the pet parent leaves for me. My main goal is to ensure the pet is as comfortable as possible and of course the person to know that best, is the pet parent! I would hate to stray from any schedule a pet has as it’s already stressful enough when a parent is gone. I am really big on communication so if the pet parent wants me to stay in the home the whole time during the visit, or to only have check ins, I will make sure that is communicated.

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: "A good man is concerned for the welfare of his animals.." Proverbs 12:10 (TLB) I go by Di, not Laura. I'm a certified equine massage therapist who has taken care of horses, dogs, cats and chickens for over 20 years. I love them all equally! I've trained horses and trained my brother's cat to walk on a leash. I'm a driver for Premier (the motorcoaches with the names on them) and currently have a pretty flexible schedule. Please don't hesitate to reach out to me - I'd love to meet you and your furry babies! I am available to respectfully come and provide drop in or dog walking services. Your pet will be lovingly treated with the same attention that they are used to.

About: I’m a huge animal lover and proud pet parent to a full house of my own — 4 dogs and 2 cats! My dogs range from small to medium/large, so I’m comfortable caring for pets of different sizes, personalities, energy levels, and needs. Caring for animals is something I genuinely love, and I take a lot of pride in everything I do. I’m a trustworthy, reliable, honest, and attentive person, and when I’m caring for your pets, I treat them with the same love, patience, and respect I give my own. I offer dog walking and drop-in visits, and I’m happy to help with whatever your furry family member needs. Whether that means a good walk, fresh food and water, playtime, potty breaks, medication reminders, extra attention, or simply some companionship while you’re away — no task is too small or too large. I know firsthand how difficult it can be to find someone you truly trust with your pets. They’re not “just animals” — they’re family, and leaving them in someone else’s care can be stressful. That’s a big part of why I wanted to join Rover: I want to give other pet parents the same peace of mind I look for when someone cares for my own animals. My goal is simple: when you’re away, I want your pets to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for — and I want you to feel confident knowing they’re in good hands. I’ll treat your pets like I treat mine: with patience, affection, attention, and lots of love. 🐶🐱❤️ One of the biggest perks of having a work-from-home job with a highly flexible schedule is that I can make plenty of time for your furry family members! 🐶🐱💻 I have the flexibility to work around your pet’s routine rather than the other way around. Whether your pup needs a midday walk, your kitty needs a drop-in while you’re away, or your pets just need a little extra love and attention during the day, I’m happy to help whenever I can. I also understand firsthand how hard — and expensive — it can be to find reliable pet care. That’s actually one of the reasons I wanted to join Rover. For me, this isn’t just about making extra money. I genuinely love animals, and I love being able to help other pet parents have one less thing to worry about. Because of that, I’ve intentionally kept my rates a little more affordable than some sitters. I want great pet care to feel accessible, while still giving your pets the love, attention, and reliability they deserve. So while you’re busy, traveling, working, or just need an extra set of hands, I’m happy to be your pet’s person! 🐾❤️ Flexible schedule. Reliable care. Lots of love. And probably way too many pictures of your pets sent to you. When it comes to your pets, safety is always my number one priority. ❤️🐾 I know how much trust it takes to let someone else care for your animals, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. I’m attentive to their surroundings, behavior, routines, and individual needs, and I always take the extra moment to make sure they’re safe and comfortable. Before caring for your pet, I want to understand the important details — their personality, routines, feeding instructions, medications if needed, things they may be nervous around, and anything else that helps me provide the best possible care. During walks and drop-ins, I stay present and attentive rather than treating the visit like something to quickly check off my list. I keep an eye out for potential hazards, make sure doors and gates are secure, follow leash and handling instructions, and never take unnecessary chances with your pet's safety. I also believe that every pet deserves individual care. Some pets need lots of exercise and play, while others need a slower pace, extra patience, or simply someone to sit with them and make them feel secure. I pay attention to those little details because they matter. My goal is for you to have complete peace of mind knowing that while your pets are in my care, they are receiving my full attention, patience, love, and care. Because at the end of the day, I’m not just caring for someone’s pet — I’m caring for someone’s family.

About: With over 10 years of experience caring for animals, including reptiles, cats, and dogs, I bring a deep understanding and genuine love for all kinds of pets. For the past 5 years, I’ve been a dedicated foster for many animals, including various dog breeds. I have cared for small as well as big dogs, and have fostered multiple mixed pitty breeds working on training. I also regularly walk dogs at PACC and have bent doing that at various shelters since I was in middle school. I have a flexible schedule, which means I can be fully present and responsive to your pet’s needs, whether that’s frequent potty breaks, outdoor adventures, or quiet companionship at home. I’m equally comfortable going for runs with high-energy pups or creating a calm, cozy environment for shy or senior animals. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority, and I’m committed to making them feel safe, loved, and at home. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have a very flexible schedule. I’m able to plan my day around the needs of the pets I’m caring for, whether that means early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening playtime. My availability allows me to give animals the attention, companionship, and consistency they need throughout the day. At home I care for my cat like she’s my baby. I start each day by feeding her first thing in the morning and always ensure she has a full, fresh water bowl. Since I currently work from home, I’m able to be very attentive throughout the day. I make sure she gets outdoor time, engage playing with her, and give lots of cuddles. I bring that same level of care, attentiveness, and love to every animal I care for, whether it’s a cat, dog, or another species. Your pet will be treated like one of my own.

About: I’ve had a very strong connection with dogs. I love being around dogs and will always have a connection to them. I love playing with them and lots of cuddles. I've always had dogs in my life from puppies to senior. I enjoy their company. I'm a housewife which gives me enough time to play with your pup and give the time they need. I'm available Sunday through Saturday. Also spend time with your cat or cats. For my client's I would take the pup outside to go potty and play with them then go inside to get their food and water ready for them. Also would take an early morning walk if needed. Plus play with them at the client's home. I'd clean litter boxes make sure your furry cat is fed & plenty of water.

About: Reliable, Experienced, and Loving Care for Your Pets 🐾 Hi, I’m Meghan. I’m a dependable and experienced pet sitter with 6+ years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I understand how stressful it can be leaving your pets behind, which is why I focus on making the process as smooth and worry-free as possible. My goal is simple: to give your pets the same level of love, attention, patience, and care they receive from you. I have raised and cared for four dogs of my own through every stage of life—from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra patience and support. That experience has given me a strong understanding of dog behavior, routines, exercise needs, and comfort care. Whether your pet needs overnight care, drop-in visits, walks, medication support, or just extra companionship, I provide dependable care tailored to their specific needs. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space with the same respect and care I would expect in my own. I’m happy to bring in mail and packages, keep things tidy, and help maintain a clean, secure home while you’re away. What you can expect when booking with me: ✔ Reliable communication and updates ✔ Plenty of love, attention, and playtime ✔ Care customized to your pet’s routine ✔ Respectful, trustworthy in-home care ✔ Peace of mind while you’re away I truly believe pets do best when they feel safe, comfortable, and loved—and that’s exactly the environment I aim to provide. I always recommend a meet-and-greet before booking so we can make sure it’s a great fit for everyone. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family. I’m also happy to discuss long-term, recurring, or custom care arrangements for families needing consistent support. Pet care fits well into my schedule, allowing me to provide dependable overnight care, evening drop-ins, and nighttime companionship for pets who do best with consistent care overnight. For in-home sitting, please note that I am primarily available for overnight stays and evening care. Due to family and work responsibilities, I will need to be away from your home during the day for approximately 10–12 hours. This arrangement is ideal for pets who are comfortable during daytime hours and need reliable care, companionship, and attention in the evenings and overnight. I prioritize clear communication and will keep you updated with regular check-ins, photos, and messages so you can feel confident your pet is safe, cared for, and comfortable while you’re away. I believe pets thrive best when they feel safe, comfortable, and as close to their normal routine as possible. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I prioritize consistency, patience, and attentive care. In a client’s home, I follow your pet’s established routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of companionship. I also treat your home with respect by keeping things clean, secure, and well cared for while you’re away. For overnight or house sitting services, I am primarily available during evenings and overnight hours. Due to family and work responsibilities, I may be away during the day, so I am best suited for pets who are comfortable being alone for longer daytime periods. During every booking, communication is a priority. I provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins so you always know how your pet is doing and can feel confident they’re safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: I absolutely love dogs! Growing up, I always had dogs around me, whether they were my own or dogs I was taking care of for others. Those are some of my favorite memories! Dogs bring so much love and happiness into a home, and the bond and friendships we create with them are truly something special. They really do make a house feel like a home! 🐾 My routines normally are calm and quiet. Pet care fits perfectly since I am at home during the week and normally weekends just spending time with my family! I am a very attentive person, I am very aware and cautious of the needs of our pets. I overthink any possibility or possible situation in order to keep them safe!

About: I’ve loved and taken care of cats and dogs since I was 6 years old. My goal is to provide your fur babies with excellent care! I absolutely love dogs! As a hobby, I’ve studied dogs on my free time over the past three years. Different breeds, temperament, health, behavior, and training. I have experience caring for dogs in my youth and for my family and friends where I’ve been able to practice basic obedience training through both food driven and play driven dogs. Though, I’m not certified yet, in the future, I aspire to obtain my basic obedience training certificate and move to advanced training. I’m currently working full-time, but wish to get into the pet care industry. I’m available Monday and Tuesdays between 8:30 AM to 1:30 PM MST for dog walks and drop-ins for in home pet care and will love to take care of your pup’s or kitty’s needs. I hold myself to the upmost integrity in anything I do. I’ll be an excellent choice to be entrusted with your fur babies as a dog walker. I can also do drop-ins to take care of your pets within or outside your home. I currently do not have the ability to board pets within my home.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was in elementary school. I grew up with golden retriever, golden doodles and border collies on our farm. Now I have my own golden retriever and bernedoodle that are my best companions. We love to go on long walks and travel to all the state and national parks! I’m happy to take dog walking clients on weekends and holidays. I work Monday through Thursday otherwise normal business hours in the clinic from 7-5. I love playing fetch with the pups and cuddle time. I like to do basic training such as sit, stay, roll over, lay down. My bernedoodle is high energy so I’m used to exercising dogs and taking long walks.

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.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Oro Valley

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Oro Valley is $22 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $33 per walk. On Rover, walkers 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 of November 2026, there are 1,244 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Oro Valley. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 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 bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Oro Valley after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

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.

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 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

walkers 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 walker.
