Top rated Oro Valley house sitters


“Robyn was straightforward and easy to work with from the initial conversation. She sent consistent updates and pictures while I was away. She left my house cleaner than when I departed. I am SO grateful for her time and communication. She is truly a gem of a house/pet sitter - I could not have asked for a better experience. Thank you, Robyn! XO Christine & Chick”


“It made us so happy when we came home & saw how much our dogs liked Kayla. We have a special needs dog named Brodie who has vision problems along with a geriatric dog who requires extra care. Kayla took very good of our pack & will book with Kayla again.”


“Amee was so great with all my fur babies. She sent me daily updates with pictures. And she took such good care of my home while she stay here. I will definitely recommend her and will be booking her again! Thanks so much Amee!!!”


“Words cannot express how grateful we are for Kendrick! He kept incredible care of our home and three dogs, kept us updated throughout our time away, and left our home in sparkling shape. We seriously could not have had a better experience or asked for a better house/dog sitter 🧡 thank you thank you thank you!”


“Jewel did a wonderful job stepping in with little preparation when my friend couldn’t stay with my pups while I was away. After a video meet and greet, Jewel came and figured out my pups complicated routines. She messaged when she had questions or concerns. Her co-sitter, Scout, was good with my dogs and extra careful with my elderly blind guy. My old guy, PV, wasn’t eating and we figured out that he had been missing his heart medication as well as his pain medication! As soon as his medication was straightened out, he was back chowing down. He fell in love with Jewel, leaning on her for pets — which he never does! Pearl, the diva head of the household, fell for Jewel right off and followed her around and slept with her and Scout. Not only did Jewel take great care of the pups, walking them daily and brushing them, she kept up the house so it was neat when I returned, took out the garbage, got the mail, and did poop scooping in the back yard as well as watering the plants! I will certainly have Jewel stay with my dogs again when I travel. If you have pets you love that may have complicated medication schedules, Jewel can manage and I highly recommend her.”


“Allison did an incredible job house sitting and caring for my cat, Marcel. She is reliable, professional, and a good communicator. Marcel is shy at first with strangers, and she built his trust quickly and the next thing I knew she was sending photos of him on her lap! I highly recommend Allison and I hope she will come watch Marcel again. Thank you, Allison! Marcel and I are so grateful to have found you.”


“Hannah was excellent! Super communicative with photos! My animals were well taken care of. You know they do a great job when your animal is content upon your return. And my dog Max was just that. Super appreciative!”


“Alison was wonderful. She was able to do a “meet and greet” with us beforehand, and was flexible to work around our schedule. She took great care of our pups, and even helped water some plants. We received updates and pictures while we were away which helped give us peace of mind during our vacation. When we returned home our house looked just as clean as when we left it. Thank you Alison for all your help!!”


“Annette was super fantastic with Shammy. She kept Shammy busy and Shammy was very happy. We will def use her again. She is sweet and compassionate with dogs, and very responsible.”


“Carrie is everything you would want in a pet sitter. Our doggos clearly were well taken care of. The updates and pictures we received showed it! We really appreciated her professionalism and obvious love for dogs! Great person.”


About: I’ve been house sitting and taking care of pets my whole life as I’ve always owned dogs, horses, and had other fun pets as well. But starting at 16 I traveled around my city to stay over night and care for beloved pets. At 18 years old, I graduated JTED as a certified veterinary assistant. I have worked at vet clinics throughout my life, large and small animals. I have cared for all ages of animals from puppies to senior dogs. I treat every pet I care for as if it were my own, I know the worry of being a pet owner away from their animals. I always want to make life as easy as I can for the pets and their owners. I’m currently taking a year after college to do internships and travel. This means I have plenty of time to be able to spend with clients’ pets and giving them the best care possible. I’m happy to stay with pets over night to care for them better, or traveling to see them throughout the day. I want to make sure clients are at ease knowing someone is caring for their pets as if they were their own. At my home, I have a fenced yard to let the pets run around. I have 5 friendly dogs, including a senior pet I care for daily. At a clients or my own home, I always check water to make sure it is clean and available. I’m happy to take dogs in and out as much as they want to play, explore, or to use the bathroom. I try to make the environment I’m staying in as comfortable and enjoyable as possible for all pets in my care.

“Sam was great with my shy and skiddish Chihuahua and would definitely recommend! While I was away, Sam kept me updated on how everything was going along with pictures on my fur buddy that really put me at ease while away.”


“Melayna was so intentional and caring while watching our two Dobermans for several days. She updated us with photos and always let us know how they were doing!! You can tell she really cares for your fur babies as if they’re her own! 10/10 experience. ♥️”


“Mackenzie did a great job with 2 very shy kitties who've never had a pet sitter before. The situation was complicated in that one kitty would eat the other's food when he would hide. So the kitties had to be separated...gently.”


“We are so very grateful for Theresa! Our pups and our home were taken such good care of. Our trust in her services allowed us to have a proper vacation knowing she had everything under control. They loved being with her and we came home to smiles and a house full of hugs. We look forward to taking more trips while Theresa handles things at home with her superior attention to detail and TLC.”


“Elena cared for our two dogs, doing a 5-day home stay. Our focus was on their care and well-being, that they were at home in their own environment, and that we had good communication as we were a long ways from home. Elena took care of everything and upon our return, they were happy and relaxed and appeared to get the right amount of exercise and play. Our house was just as we had left it. We had multiple updates and photos throughout their day and she asked questions when there was a concern. Elena was very professional and spent adequate time with us during her meet and greet. I had her come walk the bigger dog twice before our trip which was a bonus in getting to know her habits. Her caring and thoughtfulness make her our first choice in picking another Rover sitter in the future. If you want someone who goes the extra mile, chose Elena as your sitter. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.”


“Dakoda did an excellent job watching our pup at our house for 5 days. Our boy has some special needs including insulin injections and Dakoda took care of all of them in a very professional manner. He was punctual and very communicative during our time away. I highly recommend Dakoda!”


“Matthew was very personable and respectful. He took great care of my home and my 2 dogs while I was away for two days. Would definitely recommend him for anyone and I will be reaching back out to him the next time I travel!”

Oro Valley pet parents share their Rover experiences
Five stars for Terrie! With all the moving parts and emotion of planning a vacation without your dog, Terrie brings a calmness and expert professionalism to the job. Several good walks a day, serving specially prepared meals, and caring for our girl during Thunder and lighting at midnight all spell CARE! Terrie is wonderful!

Sofía was great!! She was very easy to work with and is very kind and sweet. We returned home to find our dogs, relaxed and happy!! This is the marker of a good dog sitter. Also, she followed all of our instructions and communicated well with us during her entire time with our dogs. (Pictures & notes) I would definitely recommend her and use her services anytime that she is available!

Abby and Ryan were AMAZING! They stayed in my home with my 4 month old puppy and gave her all the love and attention she deserves! They went above and beyond, by keeping her training going & throwing in some new tricks as well as teaching her to swim/how to exit our pool safely. Some much appreciated water safety training in AZ! They are well experienced with dogs and clearly care/are attentive to the well being of the dog. I was nervous to leave my puppy, but they quickly eased any nerves due to their genuine nature! I can tell they treated my home with respect and I will definitely be booking with them again!
