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!
About: I have walked dogs and taken care of animals since I was young. As a nanny, I walked the families dogs daily and house sat for them. My family and I traveled for the past two years throughout the US to discover new places and experiences. Our daughter (7) and our dog (9) were along for the ride! We housesat, long term, in a few places and love taking care of animals. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages along with cats, chickens, horses, and other animals. We are artists who work from home so if boarding with me, your dog will never be alone for long. We are active and our dog gets two walks a day. Please be mindful that we do have a 7 year old child and our dog does need to do a meet and greet with any boarders. I currently have a very flexible schedule with lots of availability to stop in to play, take walks, and board your best friend. Message me if you need a time not offered. Caring for a pet in your home is a responsibility I take seriously. Its great to be in their own environment and I strive to keep them on their regular schedule as best as possible. My family and I traveled the country from house sit to house sit so I understand how important it is to respect everyone's space, home, and peace of mind. Typically, a house sit on Rover would be just myself coming to take care of your pet with the possibility of meeting up with my husband, daughter, and dog outside of the home if it were okay with the owner.
About: Father to two boys and two dogs looking to pick up extra money and make ends meet. Lifelong dog rescuer and animal lover, current U of A student and future K-12 art educator. Currently attending U of A Mon-Thursday. I have limited availability during gaps between my classes. On Friday I have much more availability, as I am not attending classes that day. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs, as well as issuing controlled medication at scheduled intervals. I personally don’t give my dogs table scraps, because I know how sensitive their digestive systems can be. I have prepared raw diet meals in the past for pets. An exercised dog is a happy dog!
“Stephanie is utilizing our drop in visits for training while I am on leave from work. She has a gifted way with dogs and we have learned so much after only a couple of visits! I look forward to using her when I return to work and even for pet sitting in the future.”
About: I am an avid hiker and walker that loves to have a dog companion with. I have 40+ years of pet care experience including- vet assistant, boarding kennel and other pet hospital jobs. I have also bred and showed multiple dogs. I am in great physical shape and can handle all dog breeds and ages. I treat every pet like my own and want you to feel completely comfortable knowing they are in good hands! I am semi retired and volunteer at a state park nearby. I am typically available Wednesday through Saturday between 6AM and 6PM and can be flexible. Monday and Tuesday I am available after 2PM. I never bring a pet into an environment where they would be uncomfortable, and if I am dropping in for a visit at a clients home with a pet, I care for the pet as if it is my own. I love getting to know dogs personalities and finding out what they enjoy.
“Kiersten is the best sitter I’ve ever had! She truly gave me peace of mind when I was out of town. She sent me so many videos/pictures of them and gave the fur babies so much love. They really love her! I will definitely book again if I need a sitter”
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.
“We are lifelong pet owners and have tried many different arrangements for care for our kids while we travel. Brit from rover.com is hands-down the best pet sitter we have ever had. She is 100% reliable, taking care of everything around the house & giving the kids extra exercise and attention. Her frequent reports (photos & video!) let us relax, knowing everything was going well. Brit is an expert on pet physical and mental well-being. She even introduced some healthy practices we plant to continue on our own. Plus, Brit is a "pet whisperer"; attentive to the cats' and dog's emotional signals, anticipating their needs. They loved her attention and care. Now that we have returned, they all seem totally relaxed and happy, with no sign of anxiety due to our absence. Best care ever. We will not be planning any future vacations until we are sure we can book with her again.”
“Shelia took wonderful care our cats when we had to go out of town unexpectedly. Thankfully she was able to accommodate us on short notice. Loved the cute pictures she sent every day so I could see my boys were just fine without us. You'll have no worries if you book with Shelia!”
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.
“Thank you so much! Marlee made this experience so easy and followed my instructions very well. My cat was in great spirits when I returned home and the pictures with updates she sent me brought me great peace of mind. I’ll definitely be rebooking :)”
About: I’ve taken care of many animals through out my life, from cats and dogs, to raising animals on a farm. I enjoy being around animals and look forward to meeting yours! Im not currently working and I am available anytime to watch your fur babies. Morning, afternoon and evenings. Over night stays as well if needed. Communication is a priority and I will provide frequent updates with photos/videos. This has allowed my clients to see first hand how safe, comfortable, and secure their pets feel in my care. My clients often express their peace of mind knowing their pets are safe, understood, and well cared for while away

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Oro Valley
Griselda took wonderful care of our dog, Jack, while we were away for 19 days. She came three times every day and was incredibly dependable, attentive, and caring. Being gone that long can be stressful with a pet at home, but knowing Griselda was looking after Jack gave us peace of mind. She was consistent throughout our entire trip, and we came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog. We are so appreciative of the care and attention she gave him and would absolutely trust her with Jack again. Highly recommend Griselda!
She did great after not seeing the dogs for quite some time. Our dogs are 2 young golden retriever and get very excited and she handles them well, we got updates for every visit with pictures. She is always on time which made me feel more at ease when we were on vacation.
Lucille was great! She took great care of my Doberman. She took my pup for walks and play fetch with him on her drop in visits! Her communication was excellent and she provided pictures/videos as well! Will definitely be my go to when I need someone to help out with my pup!
Olivia is amazing!! She dropped in several times over the past few days and took such good care of my senior pup Stryker. She even came by last minute for a visit when there was a conflict with the work schedule. Communicates very well and sends pics and videos. Will absolutely book her again!
Laura took really good care of our pug and kitty (who needs daily medication). Great communication, we got updates on how they were doing. I also appreciated Laura coming over before we left to make sure she knew all of our instructions etc. I would definitely have her watch our pets again.

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Oro Valley is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters 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 long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 1,385 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Oro Valley. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 96% can help with daily exercise

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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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 sitter.
