“Mary was AMAZING with our three dogs while we were away at Disneyland! Having three dogs with different personalities and routines can be a lot, but she handled all of them beautifully. We came home to three happy, relaxed pups and a house exactly as we left it—which is pretty much the highest compliment I can give a pet sitter. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly genuinely cared about our dogs. I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in her hands, and being able to enjoy our trip without worrying about what was happening at home was priceless. We will 100% be asking Mary to watch our little zoo again. Highly recommend her—although selfishly, I’d also like everyone to leave some availability for us. 😂❤️🐾”
“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.”
“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!”
“Theresa did a great job watching over Brandy and our house. She was friendly, communicative, sent pictures of Brandy, walked her often and left the house immaculate! Thank you Theresa!!”
About: Hello! I am a pet lover who grew up with Boston terriers for 20+ years. I also grew up working with dogs (Border Collies) on ranches, working side by side on various tasks. Because of my experience and comfort with dogs, I have been dog-sitting for friends and family my whole life. I have some experience caring for cats, including my sisters' and friends' cats (5+ years). I am very active and can exercise or entertain your pet with play or runs. I have rarely met a dog I couldn't build trust with. I am working a full-time position at the University of Arizona. I am free from 5 a.m. to 8 a.m., 12 p.m. to 1 p.m., and 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. on weekdays. I have full availability on weekends. I ensure to follow all the rules the pet owner has established. I will use commands and language the dog is familiar with to avoid confusion. I make sure the pets are exercised 2-3 times a day. Cleaned and brushed if needed. I am mindful of water intake and make sure that all pets are kept on their usual schedule.
About: I grew up surrounded by pets, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I started dog sitting for friends while in college and have loved it ever since. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I work during the week, but I’m generally available in the evenings and have a flexible schedule on weekends. I’m happy to accommodate different needs whenever possible… it’s usually just a matter of coordinating schedules in advance 😊 I live in an apartment with access to a dog park right in the complex, so there is plenty of space for walks, playtime, and fresh air. I also love spending time outdoors and often visit parks, lakes, and hiking trails whenever I can. If a dog enjoys adventures, I would be happy to bring them along with me :)
About: I've grown up with and cared for all different types of animals. I specialize in dogs & cats of all sizes. I've been a trusted house-sitter for friends and family for over 10 years. All by word of mouth. I love to housesit and care for animals. I'm meticulous and thorough. I communicate daily with updates, concerns, good news and photos if requested. I can and will work with animals who may have behavioral issues. I have experience with dogs and cats with aggression or skittish personalities. I'm currently free to sit all day and overnight until the foreseeable future. Also I'm okay with long stays over 2 weeks + just give me your dates and I can check and hopefully confirm availability. Will travel within Tucson. I have experience with all shapes, sizes, and types of animals. If you are unsure of your pet, please ask. Chances are I have worked with that type before. I care for your animals and your house just like you would yourself. I do ask for a detailed list of what needs to be done and how you care for your pet, to avoid disrupting their schedule. I care for plant babies too! I love being spend animals at all times during the day, as I find them to be very comforting and regulating to the nervous system I stick to your fur babies schedule, take photos & videos, keep the space clean, and always fulfill the animals needs by providing love and attention.
About: I’ve always loved animals and enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I’m patient, attentive, and responsible, and I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of care, attention, playtime, and affection. I’m comfortable following specific routines and instructions from pet parents and want every animal to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits well into my routine because I have a flexible schedule and enjoy spending time with animals. I’m able to give pets dedicated attention throughout the day, including walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship. I’m happy to work with each pet’s normal routine and make sure they receive consistent care while their family is away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications if applicable, routines, and anything else your pet needs. I’ll keep a close eye on them, provide a calm and comfortable environment, and communicate with you about how they’re doing. I want pet parents to feel confident that their pets are being treated like family while they’re away
“Kelly was the best per sitter we have had! She offered daily pics and communication about our pup! She came by to meet him before to make sure they got along and to learn his routine. She took amazing care of our house and pup! She even washed the sheets and towels she used which was above ans beyond! We highly recommend Kelly!”
“Carmen was an amazing dog sitter! She kept in communication with me on a daily basis, as I asked, she followed all the instructions I left her for my dog and the house such as taking the trash out and watering the plants. When she wasn’t sure of something, she would check in with me to ask which I really appreciated. I would absolutely recommend Carmen as a sitter and I will definitely use her services again! My dog loved her and was well taken care of.”
About: I really just want to make sure that your pets and house are taken care of the same way I would take care of mine if not better. Ive been a sitter of dogs, cats, plants, and axolotls so i have a pretty good idea of how to make sure your pets are happy as possible while you have to be away I’m a botanist and work regularly 7am-4pm M-F, your pets would be the last things I see before work and the first after. I have 6 sweet kitties at home that I make sure are well exercised, fed, and loved. I wish to get to know your pets and make them as comfortable and entertained as possible. All my cats get wet and dry food, we have cat trees, multiple water fountains, maybe too many toys and even a stroller to see the world in. Here in the desert pet hydration is my number one concern, especially after treats and exercise. My partner and I push for cat hydration through occasionally mixing churu in water bowls (they love it). For dogs I will never leave the house with them without water and a bowl. I grew up here in AZ and my family dog and I have ran many miles so I know when to look for the signs that your pet needs a break, water, or to turn around. LGBTQ+ family
About: I have been an avid animal lover for as long as I can remember, and I have provided fantastic care to my own fur babies, and for plenty of others! I have been surrounded by animals my entire life, and I have spent a lot of time volunteering at shelters and rescue facilities. I currently have three fur babies myself, a dog and two cats, and a turtle! I care for cats and dogs of all ages, from newborn and bottle fed to elderly. I am a huge outdoors person, and I love hiking and running, so animals of all energies are welcome! I also have been a professional nanny for children for 8 years, so I’m very adaptable to household dynamics and am a master of patience. No matter the species, age, or size or your pets I promise to care for them as my own! I am a part-time nanny and a part-time student! This leaves me with plenty of time in the evenings to provide care. On Saturdays and Sundays I am off completely and able to provide all day care, and Monday through Friday I am available for drop ins or walks in the morning (7am), in the afternoon (4:30pm) and in the evening until 9pm. Every family and household has a different, unique dynamic, and I will always do my very best to care for your pets as you do! As a childcare provider as well, I am very adaptable and able to learn and implement a constructive schedule for your fur babies!
About: As a graduate of the University of Arizona with a BS in wildlife conservation I have a special place in my heart for all animals. I've been brought up most of my life with animals, mostly dogs and cats. Their company, presence is special and something I have and will enjoy for the rest of my life. I have a Staffordshire bull terrier and my dad has two cats of his own I adore. Looking to work in my future as a game warden and have experience completing a veterinary assistant certification at pima community college and a certification from durrel on completing a endangered species recovery course in the United kingdom (jersey channel islands). This is something I've been looking forward doing for a while; having a wonderful time looking after such wonderful pets. Simply when an animal is happy I'm happy. I will always take time for your pet as they deserve as much time and attention as possible which I can definitely give to them. Make sure they are always safe and having a great time with lots of play and love, they are family and will treat them as such.
About: Professional dog trainer of over two decades seeks clients as she moves to Arizona from California. After 25 years of working with a variety of animals from farm animals to domesticated animals to wild animals, I brought my worth in the Dog training community animals, I hope that you understand that I am only keeping my prices high because that’s what I’m worth. I’m not worth $12 a walk. I’m worth more than that. My Dog clients miss me greatly and when they hear my name, they do happy dance dances to this day. I am currently open for daycare and boarding at my house. I also do housesitting and I’m there except for one hour in the morning and one hour at night when I go check on my dogs. I’m also available for drop ins and things but I’d like to get to know you and your dog before I do that on a more consistent basis. I’ve worked with Rover since 2012 and I’ve had nothing but positive reviews and experiences with Rover; I can provide nothing but positive references if asked and look forward to speaking to you. My prices may be higher than my competitors, but they aren’t my competitors. They are people that are unqualified to do this job that are being paid to do the job that they aren’t doing from my experience and in my opinion. I consider myself a “stay at home animal trainer” as I train most clients online, from my home. My schedule is flexible/adaptable to what *your dog & you* will need while at my house, during drop ins and walks, while I am pet sitting, or doing dog training. I have a small fenced patio with grass and turf in the front of my apartment and plenty of walking areas! I am near a dog park no one goes to & can go there if you sign a waiver. :) I NO longer accept dogs from multiple homes due to insurance policies. Payment is due half on meet and greet day and half on day your dog is dropped off.
About: With 6 years of experience working with dogs, I'm confident in my ability to provide great care and attention to dogs/cats. Since volunteering as an assistant dog groomer at 16, I've developed a passion for animal care and honed my skills in handling and grooming dogs. I would also volunteer at a farm and My experience at the farm has taught me the importance of patience and adaptability when working with animals of all temperaments. I'm eager to bring my skills and enthusiasm to love and provide exceptional care to any and all animals in my care I truly will love them as my own I work part time from 2:00/6:00 Monday to Friday as a after school teacher so spending time with furry friends is a good way to start and end my days I provide free bath time and very comfortable and flexible with any accommodations or request also love to do daily and play time walks and belly rubs

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 Picture Rocks 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 Picture Rocks 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Picture Rocks 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!

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 .

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.
