“Alison was kind, flexible and professional. It was obvious our pup was very comfortable with her when we returned. Our home was also well taken care of while we were gone. I appreciate Alison’s care and the questions she asks so she can take the best care of our pup. I would absolutely hire her again!”
“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.”
“Karol provided excellent care! She was simply wonderful! She provided the peace of mind to not only our beloved dog but to us as pet owners so that we could enjoy time away. She was courteous, punctual and a great communicator. She has a gift when caring for animals. Highly recommend her services and am looking forward to working with her again in the future! She is truly the best of the best!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Danielle. She took excellent care of our dog, giving him plenty of attention and love, and keeping to his usual routine as well as sending updates multiple times a day. She also treated our home with great care and left everything clean and in perfect condition. We came home feeling completely at ease, knowing both our dog and our house were in good hands. We have already scheduled Danielle to stay with our dog again in a couple of weeks.”
“It was great having Kaitlynn watch over our place while we were away. We were reassured that our cat was getting his required meds, as well as love and attention in our absence.”
“Robyn was amazing. My fur babies loved her. She took wonderful care of them. I was extremely happy and relieved. I could actually enjoy my time away knowing that they were in very capable hands. Robin also left my place cleaner then I left it. She is exceptional.”
“She sat for all 5 of our dogs so we could go to a funeral in another city and she was a life saver. All of the dogs loved her. She kept us updated and sent pictures. We were able to leave without being too worried about how our dogs were or if they were okay. Definitely worth it. Thank you!!!”
“Lauren is a great house and pet sitter! She gave us regular updates and followed all instructions for our pets. Our dog has trust issues but it didn’t take him long to accept Lauren.”
“Robert was the perfect choice for me. I needed to go to the emergency room, and I had a friend who took Bernie for 1 day. I put in my request and Robert responded immediately. Since I was in the ER he met with my friend, and she gave him all of Bernie's needs. After meeting with Robert, she said that she liked him so much that she would not hesitate to use him for her 2 cream goldens. Robert made 2 great impressions on one stop. I would use him every chance I get. He did light housework and sent pics of Bernie and made sure Bernie was a happy boy. Thank you Robert.”
“Madison was truly a breath of fresh air. She's dependable, she was great with my dog, and she kept me updated as the days went by. I would 100% ask Madison to come back when the need arises. Wish I could give her 10 stars!”
“Thank you so much for watching over our babies. I felt super comfortable since we did do a meet and greet before the actual babysitting. She sent pictures every day and we really did feel like they were in great hands. Will definitely book again.❤️🙏🏼”
“Terrific experience. Sara is experienced, understanding, and very committed to the best care for your fur baby. She makes sure there is a solid connection and understands the needs / requirements for your animal. She communicates well and puts your mind at ease during the absence. Highly recommend using Sara when you have the need!”
“Excellent. Exceed all expectations. The Dogs loved her. Lots of pictures and status communicated to us. Left our house even better and cleaner then before. We completely recommend her. A true professional.”

“Kayla was absolutely wonderful as a dog sitter while I had to be away. I just moved to AZ and don’t have anyone in the area I can call on, and Kayla took care of my dog who I just adopted, like her own. She was on time, a great communicator, she sent photos and videos for me, and left my house just like she found it. I would absolutely trust Kayla again, and will definitely recommend her to anyone! Thank you, Kayla!”

Samirah is an AMAZING human! Seriously one of the best pet sitter’s we’ve ever had. My dog had an unexpected medical emergency while we were gone and had to go to the emergency vet, Samirah got him there super quickly even though it was very late at night, took amazing care of him while he was scared at the ER, and was super communicative with us the whole time while we drove back home. Obviously it was not an ideal situation to have while we were on vacation but we felt so comforted to know that Samirah was taking great care of him. Even the staff at the emergency vet told me how amazing she was with him!!!! She also took great care of our cat and our house even with a sick puppy to look after! If you are looking for a kind, professional, trustworthy, communicative pet sitter, Samirah is the one!!!!
Charlotte is super sweet, kind & you can tell very caring about the pets she babysits for!!! We will be using her from now on. She was super clean, responsible & updated us with photos everyday. One of our babies needs meds & she was very concerned about making sure Luna received the correct amount!!
Lucille was wonderful! She was very punctual, professional, and reliable throughout the entire week. Bear was well taken care of and seemed happy and comfortable while I was away. It gave me great peace of mind knowing he was in good hands and that his needs were being looked after. I would absolutely recommend Lucille and would be happy to book with her again in the future. Thanks again for taking such great care of Bear! 🐾
Victoria took us last minute as we had a death in the family and she worked out perfect. Our four dogs were comfortable and fully at home with her in our absence. We loved getting a daily photo of our babies. Will definitely recommend her and we will be using her again.
This was the first time we had Matt for petsitting our 3 dogs. He was right on time, was patient with our one fearful dog, as well getting the other two to quickly warm up to him. He took the time to read to our write up on the dogs. We will definitely call on him in the future.
Mackenzie took wonderful care of my pets and my house. This was my first time having anyone other than family take care of my animals and she gave me great piece of mind knowing they were safe and fed. She is very quick answering messages and gave reassurance that everything was okay, and I was able to relax and enjoy my trip. My home and animals were in great shape when I got home and I will definitely be using Mackenzie again when I travel. Thank you, Mackenzie for going the extra mile to relieve my anxiety about leaving my boys with a "stranger". You're not a stranger anymore and I'm thrilled to have you as part of my little, furry family.

FAQs for House Sitting - Oro Valley
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Oro Valley on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,005 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Oro Valley. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Oro Valley walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Oro Valley maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Oro Valley choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 sitter 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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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 sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters 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 sitter.

- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 97% 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.
