“Anne and Joaquin were great. They are responsible and caring and I felt very comfortable leaving my dogs with them for 5 days. Sophie and Buddy had a great time. They especially loved their long walks each day. We would definitely use then again!!”
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.
“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.”

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.

“Kaitlin was absolutely incredible with our 3-year-old lab. We received many photos and updates throughout her stay, and our pup was so happy to have her. We would definitely recommend her and will book again!”
“Shanna did a great job with our cats and home. She gave us a daily report and pictures that were much appreciated. Our house was clean and tidy, and cats were content. We’ll definitely use her again when available! Thanks Shanna for your care and compassion with our fur balls!!”
“Kimberly was absolutely phenomenal!! We’ve never left our dogs with anyone that wasn’t family before so we were extremely nervous leaving for a 5 day trip. She came for a meet & greet and was lovely with the dogs. During our stay she sent over 300 photos- we absolutely loved it! It felt like we never left because we saw so many photos of our dogs. We even joked that they didn’t even miss us because they looked so happy. She gave a run down of what was going on each day and was super patient when our one dog gave her a hard time in the beginning when she was coming into the house. Overall, I could not recommend someone enough. Our dogs loved her and we came home to a clean home and happy, healthy pups!! Will definitely be booking with her again next time we leave town. It made our vacation so much more enjoyable knowing the dogs were in good hands.”
“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: 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.
“Robyn is a fantastic petsitter and housesitter. She went above and beyond — sending daily updates and pictures of our five pets, and leaving our house cleaner than when we left. (It was a nice surprise to come home to!) Would definitely trust her with our zoo again!”
“Stephanie was amazing! This was our first time with housesitters, we have a dog that gets separation anxiety, and a cat with a strict diet. She and her fiance were great through the entire process. They helped with a last minute schedule change and they followed all instructions perfectly. We received tons of pictures during our trip and the animals were very happy. Our house looked perfect when we came back. We cannot speak any higher of their quality of service. Very happy we chose Stephanie and would definitely recommend to everyone.”

“Robert was wonderful! He was on time, very kind and took special care with our elderly and blind dachshund. She needs extra attention on walks and outside around our pool, he was very patient and understanding with this. He provided photos and detailed updates on how she was doing. Our house was spotless and our dog was calm and content when we arrived back home. We will be booking Rob for future dates.”
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 5 years old. I still remember my first dog's name "Princess." I got a career as a foster parent and this make me so happy to help kittens and puppies to feed them and help them grow healthy. I'm currently a full-time employee, but I have plenty of time and energy to take care of your babies when they need a petsitter. I would love to help! I have a fenced yard with a little chicken farm. My yard is free of toxic products. It is very clean and has plenty of space for your babies to run and play if they need to stay.
“Kristina did a great job with our GSD Max. She showed up early, cuddled and played with Max, sent photos, cleaned up after herself and went way beyond what she was asked to do. Most impressive. She's a keeper in my book. Will definitely use her again. dg”

FAQs for House Sitting - Picacho
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 230 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:
- 92% 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.
