“Heather was awesome! We came back to a happy and healthy cat just the way we left her- and she went out of her way to make sure she was taken care of. Your pet is definitely in good hands with her!”
“Lauren was so great with Tuna and very accommodating! My sitter went MIA when I showed up to drop Tuna off, so I needed a last minute Rover and Lauren answered my request right away - The rest is history and I couldn’t haven been happier with my choice for a sitter for Tuna! My cat was well taken care of and her dog, Millie, was sweet with Tuna. Would highly recommend!!”
“I’ve had a couple of bad experiences using Rover in the past with boarding in someone else’s home so I decided to give drop in visits a try. Robert was very good at communicating with us and made sure our dog was well cared for during the few days we were gone. He was very trustworthy and I would seek him out in the future.”
“It's likely that Gabby never saw Gryphon the cat as he is the quintessential "scardey-cat." However when I returned home he was fat and sassy so I know he didn't miss his feedings. Gabby remembered to leave his treats in his special spot (I got a photo). She also remembered all my instructions and I found the house key right where we discussed. I would definitely hire Gabby again.”
“Melissa took great care of our four cats while we were away for a week. We spoke with her daily through our Ring system and she sent reports and photos everyday. We will use her again when we are out of town next,”
“Alexis did a stellar job with my cats and even went above and beyond on a few things. You can tell she really cares. I'll be using her for all my cat-sitting needs in the future.”
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!
About: After 34 years as an educator, I’m semi-retired and looking forward to spending some of my extra time doing something I truly enjoy, being around animals! I’ve had both dogs and cats throughout my life and understand how much our pets mean to us. I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and caring, and I’ll take the time to get to know your pet and their individual personality and needs. I offer walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting. You can feel confident knowing your furry family member is in caring and responsible hands while you’re away. Being semi-retired gives me a very flexible schedule, so I can easily make time for your pets. I’m available for daily walks, drop-in visits, and overnight house sitting. I’ll take the time to learn your pet’s routines, needs, and personality, and I’ll follow your instructions carefully. I’ll also treat your home with the same respect and care I would my own. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I’ve had a love for animals for as long as I can remember and have over 15 years of experience caring for pets. I’ve grown up around animals and have experience caring for both dogs and cats, including feeding, walking, bathing, playtime, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I have pets of my own, so I understand that they’re not just animals; they’re family! I’m comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. Whether your pet loves going on walks, playing, getting cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention and care. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I will treat yours with the same patience, kindness, and love that I give my own. I work throughout the week until 4:30, so I am available for weekends and nightly pop-ins to help care for and cuddle your fur family. Your pet’s safety and happiness will always be my priority. I understand how important it is to trust someone with a member of your family, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, daily routine, likes, dislikes, and any special instructions their owners provide. I believe in providing a calm, safe, and loving environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure. I am attentive to their surroundings, keep a close eye on them during walks and playtime, and always make sure they have access to fresh water and everything they need. I respect each owner’s rules and preferences and will keep you updated with messages and pictures so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Whether your pet needs extra playtime, patience, cuddles, or a little space to themselves, I’ll make sure their needs come first. Your pets will be treated with the same love, care, and attention I give my own!

I also have experience in volunteering as a foster parent for the Humane Society of Southern Arizona, taking in both dogs and cats to prepare them for adoption. As a pet owner, I know how important it is to feel that your pets are loved and cared for while you’re not at home. I’m dedicated to providing reliable care so that you can relax. I am currently working nearby full-time, during the week, however, I am able to look after your babies mornings, evenings,weekends, or overnights. I am available for long walks in the morning or evening as well. Because I have my own pets, I really prefer taking care of pets in their own environment in which they are most comfortable anyway. I feel that it’s important to also make pets feel seen and appreciated during the time you’re with them.

About: I have had pets all my life and have grown up with dogs. Currently live with five adventure cats and a rambunctious fun loving puppy. I have dog and cat sat for friends and family. I am familiar with feeding and water care, and walking. I will also engage in play such as fetch or tug-a-war. I will play with your cat using their favorite string toy or mouse, or give them pampering pets while they sunbathe. For people I have pet sat for I take cute pictures of their dog or cat having a good time and send it to them while they are away and can do this for you as well if you'd like! I'm currently a student with a flexible schedule! You let me know when your fur babies need a friend to come and be with them, and I will be there to play, clean, keep company, or walk your pets! Pet care is very tailored to a person's lifestyle and home. When coming to help care for your pet I will follow the instructions of their routine and become familiar to ensure that they know what to expect, aren't stressed, and are able to have a good time!
“Amazing service. Oliver stayed in my residence to take care of my two cats for a long term stay. He sent regular photo updates (as requested), was quick to communicate any updates or questions, and generally kept the place standing and clean while I was gone. Very trustworthy and reliable. 10/10 would book again for short and long term services!”
“She was amazing! Pictures and notes every visit! She let me know everything going on, sent me pictures of not only my pup but of how the house looked, picked up after my clumsy dog and was on top of communication! I absolutely recommend Carmen and will use her again if I’m out of town!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Rillito
Wow Lauren did an amazing job with my 2 cats!! One of my cats needs medication and sometimes hides, but Lauren did an A+ job encouraging my cat through the process while I was gone. Im so grateful for Lauren’s care. She also played a bunch with my active cat and sent me the cutest photos so I could see the cats playing and enjoying themselves. Lauren kept the kitchen and feeding areas very clean. I would most highly recommend Lauren for pet care!!!! She is the best!!
Sky cared for our 2 cats while we were away on vacation for several days. She made sure to follow our detailed instructions and sent updates and pictures during each visit. We always get a little anxious leaving our cats behind when we travel, but Sky helped us relax on our trip since we knew they were in good hands. Thank you, Sky!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Rillito is $14 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $23 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.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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.
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 Meet & Greet.

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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
