“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: 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 been around dogs my entire life, and caring for them has always been something I genuinely love. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from newborn puppies that require constant attention to senior dogs with unique needs. I’ve also helped train puppies, including teaching basic commands, reinforcing good behavior, and building positive routines. I understand that every dog has a different personality, and I take the time to earn their trust while making them feel safe, loved, and comfortable. My goal is to build a strong connection with every pet I care for and provide the same patience, affection, and attention I would give my own. Whether your dog is playful and energetic or older and needs extra care, you can count on me to treat them like family. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I currently work part time as a babysitter, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be available on weekdays from 6:00 AM to 3:00 PM. This flexibility allows me to provide dependable care, whether it’s morning walks, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping pets company while their owners are away. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and make it a priority to give each pet the attention, love, and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I care for every pet as if they were my own by making sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. With my own dog, I take him on regular walks, continue his training, keep him clean, trim his nails when needed, and even keep him light grooming. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I typically house sit so they can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I make sure they stay on their normal routine by taking them outside for potty breaks, going on walks, playing with them, feeding them on schedule, and giving them lots of love and companionship. I believe building trust with both pets and their owners is essential, and I’m committed to providing a safe, reliable, and stress free experience every time.

“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!”

“Eleanor was a fantastic babysitter for my golden retriever. She spent extra time getting to know my dog and making sure s my baby was not anxious during my absence. She went above and beyond the call of duty.”

About: I'm 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 the pre-veterinary track 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 when I first started volunteering at the animal shelter! I've worked in veterinary clinics as a veterinary assistant throughout undergrad so I have a lot of experience with animals. 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 complete my visit and send you photos of your furry friend(s)! I can provide you 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 loved one(s) and go off on a trip. However, I can send you photos as often as you'd like so you feel confident that they are in good hands. I'll keep an eye out on messages during my stay so I can respond with updates. I will reliably follow the directions you give me, making sure your loved one(s) feel safe & happy! Please provide specific instructions for pet and home care, including safety protocols in your home. Otherwise, I'm careful to not disturb anything inside your home and will ensure it is locked up properly and cleaned up upon my departure! - Boarding/Daycare: I can only accommodate small-medium dogs with more calm personalities for boarding at this time. I live with my parents who are also animal lovers. We live in a dog-proof house with a fenced yard available for potty breaks. We can only accommodate either boarding or daycare at one time. Before booking, you and your pup can visit my house to see if it is a good fit!

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.

About: I have more than 20 years of experience caring for cats and 10 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes. I have cared for small, medium, and large dogs, including shy, skittish, and anxious dogs that need patience and time to feel comfortable. I am also a meditation teacher. That background has strengthened my patience, attentiveness, and ability to bring a calm presence to new situations. I take time to notice each pet’s behavior, respect their boundaries, and let trust develop at their pace. I love walking and spending time outdoors. I am happy to provide relaxed neighborhood walks or more active outings based on your dog’s energy level and needs. With your approval, I am also open to taking suitable dogs for outings at Catalina State Park. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting for dogs and cats. I follow each pet’s established routine and pay close attention to their comfort and individual preferences. My goal is to help your pets feel safe and settled while you are away. I am comfortable handling feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, litter box care, and detailed written instructions. I also respect the privacy and cleanliness of every home I enter. Communication matters to me. I love taking photos and will provide regular updates so you know how your pets are doing. I welcome a meet and greet before the first booking so we can review their routine, needs, and personality. My schedule offers flexibility for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting throughout the week. I often work remotely, which allows me to spend substantial time with pets during house-sitting stays. On some days, I may need to leave for short periods for work or appointments. I will always discuss my schedule with you before booking so we can make sure your pet’s routine and care needs are a good fit. I treat your home with care and respect. I keep pet areas clean, bring in packages or mail when requested, and make sure your home is secure whenever I leave. You can expect regular photos and clear updates throughout the booking. Please let me know how often you prefer to receive them.

“Alison was awesome with our Lucy. She is very reliable and adaptable and was always there when she said she would be. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her again.”

About: I'm a current dog dad and lifelong animal lover with 16 years of experience caring for dogs and cats. I am a certified dog/cat handler and walker with the local Humane Society, where I actively volunteer in Tucson. I provide walking and enrichment for our furry friends awaiting adoption. Luna, my boxer, is my travel companion and my world, so your dog is in the hands that understand what they mean to you. You can rest easy knowing your loved one will get the attention of a family member, with plenty of photos and updates along the way! I'm self-employed, with a fully flexible schedule that accommodates mornings, evenings, weekends, and even last-minute scheduling. Pet care fits naturally into my day, and I'm always happy to accommodate what works best for you. I take time to actually get to know each dog and their needs before diving in. I take the time to understand their energy, body language, quirks, needs, and cues. I'm attentive, calm, and make sure every special requirement is understood and honored. Your companions won't just be cared for, they'll be comfortable and loved.

“A wonderful visit as always!”

Kathy C.

“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: I grew up with Dobermans and hunting dogs and owned a pet grooming, boarding and pet sitting agency along with raising my own animals including guinea pigs and cats. I work full time but have plenty of time for drop ins or walks in the mornings and evenings. I also am free all of Saturday and Sunday. I can also house sit on weekends if needed. I have experience with crate training, letting animals out and getting them back in and also walking with all types of leads. I am capable just spending time with your pet and playing with them and their favorite toy or game.

“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: 🐾 Hi! I’m someone who has grown up around animals my entire life — dogs, cats, bunnies, birds, and more — and caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life. From a young age, I helped care for family pets, and over the past several years, friends and neighbors have regularly trusted me to care for their pets while they travel or work. In December 2025, after multiple recommendations from friends and neighbors, I decided to join Rover to expand my pet care services within my community. What started as part-time pet sitting has recently grown into expanded availability for boarding, house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walks. I currently share my home with both dogs and cats, so I’m very familiar with daily routines, supervising interactions, reading body language, and creating a calm, structured environment for animals with different personalities and energy levels. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, exercise needs, comfort levels, behavior changes, medications, and making sure pets feel safe, secure, and cared for while away from their owners. I’m also comfortable administering oral medications with clear instructions from pet parents. I have experience assisting with injectable medications for cats as well and am comfortable following detailed instructions for administration and care. 🐶 What Makes My Care Special: • Lots of playtime, enrichment, walks, cuddle time, and attention • Interactive toys, feeders, chew toys, and activities to keep pets mentally stimulated • Consistent communication and photo updates throughout stays • A calm, loving, low-stress home environment • Care tailored to each pet’s personality, routine, and comfort level Because I have both dogs and cats at home, it’s important that pets staying with me are safe around small animals and cats. Friendly or indifferent is perfectly fine, but I cannot accept pets with a history of aggression, high prey drive, or unsafe behavior toward cats or smaller animals. I also like to discuss each dog’s comfort level, socialization, routine, and needs beforehand to make sure it’s a good fit for everyone. I’m also open to house sitting when it’s the right fit. Because I have pets of my own, they would need to come with me for longer stays. They’re friendly, well-socialized, and respectful in the home environment, and I always prioritize maintaining a safe, calm, and comfortable space for everyone involved. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets, so I truly aim to treat every animal like family while they’re with me. 🐶🐱💛 Pet care already fits naturally into my daily routine. My pets are very active, so walks, enrichment, playtime, and outdoor time are already a regular part of my day. I recently transitioned into doing pet care full-time and currently have expanded availability for boarding, drop-ins, walks, house sitting, and accepting new one-time and repeat clients. Because pet care is now my primary focus, I’m home the majority of the time and able to provide lots of supervision, attention, and companionship throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I maintain a clean, calm environment, supervise interactions closely, follow routines carefully, and do my best to make every pet feel safe, secure, and comfortable while in my care.

About: Growing up I’ve always had dogs in my family. However now that I’m an out-of-state student, I’ve been feeling homesick and it especially doesn’t help that I’m not around any dog love anymore. I heard about Rover through a friend and felt that this would help me with what I’ve been feeling. I can’t wait to meet your furry friends! 🐾 I’m a full time student at the U of A with only morning classes, and plenty of time afterwards to have a fun playdate with your furry friend! 🐾 I’m a calm and respectful individual, who will do anything to assure you that your furry friend will be safe at all times in my care.
