“Our dogs loved Anne and Joaquin! We were a little nervous to leave them for so long but Anne and Joaquin eased our anxiety with constant communication and pictures while we were gone for 2 weeks. We loved them and will definitely use again and would totally recommend.”

“Christopher was absolutely wonderful with our dog Cooper. He stayed at our home and gave Cooper his undivided attention. The house was clean and tidy when we returned. We will definitely use him again.”

About: I am passionate about animals and I am working towards a degree in Bio-sciences with a goal of becoming a veterinarian ultimately. I have been caring for animals since I was 8. I am comfortable with all temperaments, and animals. I'm a online student at ASU so I'll have plenty of time to care for your animals. I'm available at all times and days with appropriate notice. I have a fenced yard and 1 dog friendly dog at this time. I would prefer to offer services directly to my clients home where possible other arrangements should be discussed in advance.
About: With over 15 years of pet care experience, I’ve worked with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages. From daily walks and playtime to feeding, medication, and lots of love, I treat every dog like my own. I currently work part-time and am unavailable on Mondays and Wednesdays until 5:30 PM. However, I’m available for dog walks any day of the week. When caring for pets in clients’ homes, I treat them with the same love, attention, and respect I give my own. I follow all care instructions carefully—whether it’s feeding, administering medication, or sticking to their routine. During walks, I ensure your pet stays safe, gets plenty of exercise, and has a fun, enriching experience. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring, responsible hands.

About: I’ve spent years caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities, including puppies and high energy dogs. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I focus on keeping dogs safe, comfortable, active, and loved while their owners are away. Whether your pup enjoys walks, playtime, cuddles, or a calm environment, I’ll make sure they feel right at home I work a consistent schedule and make time daily for pet care, walks, playtime, feeding, and attention. I understand how important routines are for dogs, so I do my best to keep pets comfortable, active, and stress-free while their owners are away. I’m reliable, communicative, and flexible when possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I provide a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of supervision, attention, and playtime. I’m experienced with different dog personalities and energy levels, and I’ll always follow your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions carefully

About: Hi! My name is Kelly, and I have 10 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I grew up with Giant to medium-sized dogs, including Pit Bulls, Rottweilers, Mastiffs, Labrador Retrievers, and Australian Heelers. I've also cared for smaller breeds such as Pomeranians, Chihuahuas, and Maltese through pet sitting and dog walking. My caregiving style is patient, calm, and playful. When meeting a new pet, I believe in letting them set the pace. Rather than forcing interaction, I give dogs space to become comfortable, let them approach me on their own, and allow them to learn my scent and presence naturally. This approach has helped me build trust with both outgoing and shy dogs. I enjoy spending time outdoors with pets, whether that's a morning walk, playtime, or simply relaxing together. I have also volunteered with the Pinal County Animal Shelter, where I helped walk and socialize dogs. Additionally, I have worked with Maricopa County's Animal Shelter for their "Tails around town" program, where I would take out and care for adoptive animals for the day, allowing them to socialize and meet their potential new families! Through both volunteer work and personal experience, I've become comfortable working with dogs of different sizes, energy levels, and temperaments. I'm currently a student at Northern Arizona University and have professional experience in caregiving and service-oriented roles, which have strengthened my reliability, communication skills, and attention to detail. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, or overnight care in their own home, I will treat them with the same care and respect I would give my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I'm available whenever your furry family needs me! I'm currently home from college and have a very flexible schedule, allowing me to build my routine around the pets and families I work with. Whether it's early morning walks, midday drop-ins, evening visits, or overnight stays, I'm able to adapt my schedule to meet your pet's needs. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy and look forward to. I love getting to know each pet's unique personality and building trust with them over time. My goal is to provide reliable, consistent care while giving owners peace of mind knowing their pets are being treated like family. I try to make a pet's time away from their owner feel as normal as possible. Every animal is different, so I don't believe in taking the exact same approach with every pet. Some dogs want to play immediately, while others need time to warm up. Some cats want attention right away, while others prefer to observe from across the room first. When meeting a new pet, I usually let them come to me. I give them space to get comfortable, learn my scent, and interact at their own pace. I've found that being patient and calm helps build trust much faster than forcing attention or excitement. Having owned and cared for breeds ranging from Rottweilers, Pit Bulls, Mastiffs, and Heelers to Chihuahuas, Pomeranians, and Maltese, I'm comfortable adapting to different personalities, energy levels, and routines. Whether your pet enjoys a morning walk, playtime in the yard, or simply having someone nearby while you're away, I'm happy to meet them where they're at. I also understand that I'm not just caring for your pet but I'm a guest in your home. I make an effort to keep things tidy, follow your instructions carefully, and provide updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is in good hands.
“Kaitlin did an incredible job with my 2 dogs. Constantly kept me informed as to how they were doing and sent multiple pictures every day. The boys were well taken care of. Took care of everything in the house and did a great job of walking the dogs both morning and night. Would definitely recommend her looking for someone to stay with their dogs.”

“Shanna was awesome with my two fur babies! She took the time to listen to me explain their quirks and personalities and gave a full report on how things went. Will definitely be calling her again!”
“I felt comfortable right away when I met Chris at meet and greet. She was very attentive, and asked great questions. She did not disappoint! She took excellent care of my pets! I highly recommend Chris and I will hire her again in the future.”

About: I have had dogs all my life. Growing up our family had Boston terriers and German Shepherd. I grew up in Minnesota. My husband and I moved to Arizona in March after he retired from his job that he was at for 31 years. We are both still working. However I work from home so my schedule is very flexible. As you can see we have 3 dogs, we have two Mastiffs Kodak and Harlie Girl they are our gentle giants, crazy little clowns. Ok maybe not so little lol, Kodak is our talker and Harlie is our bulldozer. They see themselves has lap dogs, Neat story on why we named them, we got married in Kodak TN at Thunderhead Harley Davidson. Our sweet boy Ruger is a laid back man he too is a talker and loves to play ball. My husband had Ruger before we meet but he has become my boy also trust me if I move all 3 of them are up and going with me. They are my little pack. They are our family, our four legged children. ❤️❤️❤️❤️. My back ground just doesn’t stem from having animals. I have also worked in veterinary clinics and dog and cat boarding facilities and dog training facility. I work from home my schedule is flexible.I’m available everyday during the week. Our weekends we our out on our motorcycle. We belong to the CVMA I have a fenced in yard and three friendly dogs. They would love to meet new friends also. Have some play dates with other dogs
About: My home has never been without pets. I currently have 4 loving dogs of my own. They are a mixed breed pack of all ages. I care for one senior dog at the moment. I’ve raised several litters of puppies and found them great homes. I was a preschool teacher before so I know patience better than most. Animals have a big place in my heart. I run a business from home so I have super flexible hours and availability to tend to any and all care needs. Your pet will be my priority. I prefer to care for the pets in their own home and familiar areas. I find this gives them a good sense that nothing is changing and reduces stress for the animal. I am very familiar with crates and crate trained animals. I pay close attention to instructions given for food and medications. I will spend time with them not just drop by for 5 minutes, giving love, attention, exercise(if permitted).

“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.”

“I had super anxiety about leaving my dogs with someone we didnt know. Danny did more than 100% of taking care of my furbabies. I would recommend him again and again. He is trustworthy and loves animals. He sent me pictures and videos of the dogs because he knew how much anxiety I had. The next time I need a sitter ot someone I know I will be contacting Danny!!!!”


About: Respecting your home and understanding that it’s your pets home is most important to me. I love meeting new furry friends, in my past I’ve house sat, dog sat, and cat sat many times. I will respect your wishes on how you prefer care. I work full time at Mesa La-Z-Boy. It’s an hour drive. I leave for work 8:45, and get home usually around 6:30-7 at the latest. I can come to your home before work and check in (walk, feed, ect) and again after work. I’m open to staying over night to keep an eye as well. Then I’m off on Mondays and Tuesdays. Depending on what you’re looking for I can make myself available to you more. Anything I can do to take stress off your shoulders. I will give your pet the care it needs and do what it takes to make them comfortable. That’s what I’m here for! I take time to learn more about our pets and their needs so everyone is safe and protected.
“Our dogs received so much love and care! Our two 100lb+ dogs require detailed arrangements to prevent aggression and they were treated with excellent care and attention - specifically with extra comfort for the 4th of July fireworks noise. We look forward to booking again!”

“Kristina house-sat for us on very short notice. We have 4 dogs and a cat. Two of the dogs and the cat have medications that need to be given twice a day, and one of the dogs is a picky eater. When Kristina came to meet the animals, she sat down on the floor and took the time to let them warm up to her. We left her with a LONG list of instructions. She was very responsive the entire time we were away when we texted her to check in, and let us know immediately when there any issues, like that one dog not eating one night. She sent us pictures of all of our guys each night. When we got home, everyone was happy and the house was very clean - not a requirement! We definitely recommend Kristina and will use her again.”

About: I’ve had English bulldogs for 10 years. I haven’t met a dog I didn’t love. I can administer most meds with instructions. I’ll care for your dog as if it were my own and she’s spoiled! I work full-time but mostly remote, so I’m home a lot. I can ensure your dog’s needs are met on a daily basis, they’re the best companions. I have a fenced yard and a small area with turf for potty breaks. I live near a dog park and can take them there, weather permitting. I consider dogs a part of the household so they’re allowed everywhere but I’ll also follow your lead if you have specific instructions.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 225 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Picacho. 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 Picacho 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 Picacho 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 Picacho 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Picacho. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
