House Sitting Picture Rocks

“Elena was truly amazing in every sense of the word. Our babies loved her and she loved them. She made us feel comfortable while we were away from them for the first time in a long time and sent us so many updates and pictures! It was our puppy’s first vacation and Elena took the utmost care of her (and all of our fur babies). I’d so highly recommend her to foranyone at any time. We cannot wait to have her come stay again.”

“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.”

Wendy R.

“Kaitlin was amazing! She was quick to respond, sent lots of pictures and updates and made sure my babies were cared for while I was away. Would highly recommend and will use her again 😊”

“Kaitlynn took great care of our elderly, anxious pup while we were away for our wedding. She put Lenny at ease which in turn helped us relax and not worry about how she was doing. Thank you for taking good care of our fur baby!”

Lauren S.

“I can’t say enough good things about Sarah!! She was so professional and caring for our babies while we were on vacation! One of our pups very anxious and can be aggressive towards new people. She was so patient and skilled in letting him come to her in his own time. She provided us so many updates, pictures, and videos to keep our minds at ease!! She asked for instructions and followed everything to perfection!! I would use her for dog care over and over again!!! So glad we found her!!”

About: Hello! I am a pet lover who grew up with Boston terriers from ages 10-12 (20+). 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 rarley met a dog that I wasn't able to build trust with. I am a graduate student whose internship starts on the 27th of July. So I have complete availability then. Outside of that, I am typically free after 5 pm on weekdays and completely free 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.

“Kristen took such good care of our Jasper! She went above and beyond, playing fetch with him at all hours of the day and night. She was respectful of our home and kept us well informed of all the goings on! She’s a keeper!”

Patti R.

“Emily was fantastic! A wonderful house guest who took great care of my Sadie. I got photo updates every day and came back to a clean house. I couldn’t ask for more!”

Marisa L.

“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!”

About: Hi there! I’m Zandra, an animal lover with over 9+ years of experience caring for dogs and cats. I take pride in being calm, clean, dependable, and fully present with the pets I care for. Most importantly, I genuinely enjoy their companionship and love making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their people are away. Every sit, walk, or drop in is important to me—it’s a chance to provide steady care, companionship, and peace of mind for both pets and their humans. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. Since I work remotely, I’m home and available for plenty of attention, walks, play, and snuggles throughout the day. I keep a calm, clean environment and love having pets as my companions while I work. Feeding, potty breaks, lap cuddles, or a good game of fetch all fit easily into my schedule. I’m also working toward my Dog Trainer certification, so every interaction with a pet is a chance to practice patience, consistency, and lots of love. When house sitting, I treat your home and pets as if they were my own. I follow your routines for feeding, potty breaks, walks, and any special instructions, giving pets plenty of companionship, cuddles, and attention while you’re away. I also keep your home clean, organized, and secure, so you can relax knowing everything is taken care of. For dog walking, I provide safe, fun, and engaging walks tailored to your dog’s energy level and personality, making sure they get exercise, mental stimulation, and lots of love along the way. I aim to make every walk enjoyable and stress-free for your paw pals.

About: I’ve taken care of a wide range of dogs, from chihuahuas to greyhounds and pit bulls! I’ve cared for young and geriatric dogs, dogs with anxiety, and have experience giving medication (oral meds and eye drops!) I’m off for the summer before school, so my schedule is flexible! I have one recurring event Saturday mornings, other than that we can figure out what works best for you and your pet! My home is not available for pets right now, but I am happy to take care of your pet in their own home! I am open to dropping in as well as staying the night to keep them company! I would like to keep their routine as steady as possible, and am happy to play with them, let them out, take them on walks, etc. as best fits their normal schedule!

“Amy was great! She updated us on how Billy was doing often and sent us lots of pictures while we were away. We absolutely would have her watch our dog again!”

“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!”

“My dog was on vacation the total time I was gone Adriane treated her like royalty I would definitely use her again and recommend her to anyone”

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: 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 :)

“Theresa stayed with our fur babies while we were out of town for 10 days. She clearly has a lot of experience taking care of pets. She was super professional, communication was great. She sent daily photos/updates. I did not worry at all while we were away. Both the dog and cat seemed very happy and well cared for when we got home, and the house was left immaculately clean, almost like she'd never been there! I will definitely be booking Theresa again. Highly recommend.”

“Amee was so great with all my fur babies. She sent me daily updates with pictures. And she took such good care of my home while she stay here. I will definitely recommend her and will be booking her again! Thanks so much Amee!!!”

About: A true professional will provide you with unparalleled peace of mind so you can focus on family, fun or work while traveling. I'm Brit, an independently insured pet sitter and local Tucsonan. Pet sitting is my full time job! Booking with me will make it as easy and stress free as possible to be away from your beloved pet(s). The Kitty Cottage is a lovely garden studio where your feline friends can relax in peace without the worries of traditional boarding solutions that involve sharing ventilation and space with pets from other households. It has 128 sqft of floor space as well as a 32 sqft loft. The cottage has been designed for excellent bird watching opportunities from every level - floor, cat furniture and loft. Accessibility can be modified based on your kitties' needs. Cats of all personalities and physical ability love the climate-controlled cottage overlooking a garden which hosts many birds, butterflies, and lizards daily. We have every kind of pet enrichment to offer so your cat will benefit from novel, mentally satisfying experiences every single day! Music made for cats softly plays throughout the day, with the soundtrack changed daily. A tablet plays games and videos for them. New toys, tunnels and rugs are brought in daily to provide novelty. The kitty cottage will be your cat's ultimate vacation! I am very comfortable caring for diabetic and aging or grumpy cats and my calm energy puts them at ease. Everything in the cottage can be moved or modified to suit kitties with mobility issues. Your beloved furry companion(s) will be happy and well cared for if you trust them with me! I visit the cottage several times a day, depending on your cat's social and medical needs. Frequent visits provide kitties with plenty of time to play, give and receive affection, engage with enrichment items, and enjoy some human company. Mealtimes and medications will be followed to the letter. Your cat will also see me in the backyard throughout the day, and I also check in on them via camera. The camera records all movement so I can review every moment of your kitty's day, ensuring they always have fresh food, water, and litterboxes. Camera access is available via the Ring app so you can check in on your kitty throughout their stay. Pet parents will receive professional-quality photos from every visit each day, as well as a 5+ minute video showcasing the highlights of your cat's day. If preferred, I can send clips throughout each day showing the highlights of their vacation in the cottage. Pickup and drop-off are free anywhere within 20 miles of Ina/Thornydale, but please note that I will not assist in finding or catching kitties for pickup. Cat(s) must already be in their carrier or crate at the pickup time scheduled. The standard cancellation policy may apply if your pet is not ready or able to be safely transported to the cottage. The cottage is safely situated behind locked gates on private property, and only accessible for dropoff or pickup with a scheduled appointment. A fee of $10/hour will be charged if pet parents are late for pickup. Circumstances requiring an exception to these stipulations must be discussed prior to booking, otherwise our standard fee and cancellation policies may apply. As for more info about me: I began cat sitting at 6 years old when I offered to feed my next door neighbor's cat lunch and scoop his litter box every weekday in exchange for a jar of dill pickles per week. Since then I have provided routine, kitten and elder care for the feline companions of friends, family and clients. I have 5 cats of my own who live in our main house, and being their Mom is a great source of joy in my life. Each has a unique personality and their own routine with me throughout the day, and I love spoiling them! Booking me will enable you to focus on fun, family or work while away because you have countless Instagram-worthy photos, lengthy high-quality videos and detailed notes from every single drop-in that really highlight the professional level of care your pets are receiving. When you contact me for a booking, I will want to know absolutely anything and everything you can tell me about your pet. Health history, personality, likes, dislikes, quirks, and concerns are especially important! There is no detail too small. There is no other boarding or drop-in sitter experience like this in the greater Tucson area, so book early to ensure your cats' next staycation is absolutely purrfect! If you want your pet to experience social and physical enrichment, genuine TLC, and consistently high quality care then please do book with me as soon as you have your schedule confirmed. From me you can always expect utmost safety and cleanliness, respect of your home and privacy, all requests dutifully followed, enriching playtime, exercise and affection for your pets, multiple high quality videos & pictures sent throughout walk or stay, all dietary and behavioral notes followed to the letter, never a last-minute cancelation or no show, and all health and safety precautions dutifully taken EVERY single time. You will rest easy knowing your pets are in the best hands because I only accept bookings for which I know I can provide the best possible care!
