“She arrived on time, did everything we asked. She sent great pictures and went on may walks and spent time outside with him. Our dog loved her and we would definitely have her house sit again!!”
“Kaitlin too excellent care of our 2 dogs. The daily updates and pics were fun. Our house was left in excellent condition upon our return. We will definitely book for our next trip.”
“Loved Alison! She was very responsive, kept me updated with nice pics and my cat & dog seemed super happy/calm when I got home (in the past they had seemed anxious). A testament to her caring vibes!”
“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. 😂❤️🐾”
“Lauren is so sweet and kind! She is prompt and very reliable. Our dog is very picky about who watches him & he went right up to her and gave her a kiss on the hand the 1st time she watched him!”
“We had a great experience with Amy! She was very responsive and took great care of our pups while we were away for an overnight stay! And she left them a little pack of treats on her exit! ❤️ Would recommend!”
About: I’ve taken care of many animals through out my life, from cats and dogs, to raising animals on a farm. I enjoy being around animals and look forward to meeting yours! Im not currently working and I am available anytime to watch your fur babies. Morning, afternoon and evenings. Over night stays as well if needed. Communication is a priority and I will provide frequent updates with photos/videos. This has allowed my clients to see first hand how safe, comfortable, and secure their pets feel in my care. My clients often express their peace of mind knowing their pets are safe, understood, and well cared for while away
“Samirah is an AMAZING human! Seriously one of the best pet sitter’s we’ve ever had. My dog had an unexpected medical emergency while we were gone and had to go to the emergency vet, Samirah got him there super quickly even though it was very late at night, took amazing care of him while he was scared at the ER, and was super communicative with us the whole time while we drove back home. Obviously it was not an ideal situation to have while we were on vacation but we felt so comforted to know that Samirah was taking great care of him. Even the staff at the emergency vet told me how amazing she was with him!!!! She also took great care of our cat and our house even with a sick puppy to look after! If you are looking for a kind, professional, trustworthy, communicative pet sitter, Samirah is the one!!!!”
“Laurie was wonderful. She was responsive to all communications, on time, kind, and courteous. We will absolutely be using her again in the future and I highly recommend her.”
“We hired Maya for a house/pet sit for our two dogs and two cats. She was very communicative during her stay, giving us daily updates. She kept the house clean and tidy and kept our animals happy and fed!”
“Dakoda is professional, reliable, kind, and thoughtful. He took excellent care of our dog and our home/plants/yard while we were away, he really went above and beyond. He was consistently responsive and generous sending lots of updates. What I appreciate most is I felt he really bonded with our dog, got to know her, and I can tell he made her feel safe, secure, and loved every day. Dakoda left the house spotless, and it was wonderful to know I left my dog in such great hands. Thank you so much Dakoda!!”
“Denise was awesome taking care of our home and Izzy while we were on vacation. She sent updates and communicated and even helped Izzy when our pest control showed up unexpectedly. She took care of all our plants and made sure Izzy was loved while we were on it of the country.”
“Maddison was fantastic! She communicated with us constantly and kept us updated. We returned home to extremely happy pups and a house tidier than when we left it. Looking forward to having her watch our dogs in the future again. We would absolutely recommend!”
“Oliver was amazing! We were gone for an entire week and I didn’t worry once. He communicated throughout the week with texts and photos. He lovingly cared for our three dogs, watered our plants, and fed our fish. I am so happy that we found Oliver and I hope that he’s available in the future took care for our four-legged family members! If I could rate higher than five stars I would. We highly recommend Oliver!!!”
About: 🐾 Hi! I’m Elizabeth, an experienced at-home dog sitter with 25+ years of caring for dogs. We’re located just 10 minutes from downtown Tucson (Marana area near Cortaro & I-10), in a quiet neighborhood on a peaceful cul-de-sac — no busy streets or loud noise. We’re open 365 days a year, including holidays and last-minute bookings. Whether it’s just one night or 100 (I’ve actually had a dog guest stay that long!), your dog will be treated like family every step of the way. After 11+ years on Rover, many of my clients return again and again. ⸻ 🐶 What Makes our Care Special: • Dogs lounge on soft couches with blankets and pillows. • Daily updates and photos. • Secure backyard with a covered porch and a 10x10 Astroturf sun patch for lounging. • 6-foot fences and a deadbolt gate on the front porch for extra safety. • Someone is almost always home (rarely gone more than an hour). • Four trained and experienced adults in the home = lots of attention, playtime, and professional care. • Extensive experience with medical needs, including medication administration and injections. ⸻ 🐕🐕🐕🌟 A Few Important Notes: 🐕🐕🐕 • I only host a few dogs at a time—usually 3-4, occasionally up to 6 during peak holidays—to ensure personalized care. 🐕🐕🐕 MEET-AND-GREETS 🐕🐕🐕 For the comfort and routine of the dogs already in my care, I do not schedule separate in-person meet-and-greets. I’m happy to offer a virtual meet-and-greet beforehand though. On the day of the booking clients are able to tour the home and yard during drop-off. We can go over feeding, medication and playtime/sleep routines then as well. • Dogs must be house-trained (unless under 12 months). • Even if my calendar shows unavailable, feel free to reach out — I may still have space for the right fit! ⸻ ✨ With 600+ five-star reviews, a lot of my guests become repeat clients. Once you’re one of them, you’ll receive first-priority booking — and your pup will feel right at home. I If you think your dog might be a great fit, I’d love to hear from you! – Elizabeth 🐶💛 Dogs are part of our daily life here. With someone always home, they enjoy constant care, indoor or outdoor play (weather permitting), comfort, attention, and plenty of companionship. Dogs here are always safe, loved, and never alone. They get lots of attention, playtime, and a low-stress calm, homey space to relax in. We have bowls of water out at all times.
About: What sets me apart is my calm, patient approach and strong attention to detail. I make sure each pet feels comfortable and understood, and I take the time to learn their individual preferences, sensitivities, and quirks. Whether your pet needs structured play, slow-paced walks, medication given on schedule, or extra reassurance while you’re away, I’ve got them covered. I’m currently a full-time veterinary student, which gives me a flexible schedule for pet care. I’m able to fit visits, drop-ins, and walks around my classes, and I always make sure I have dedicated time to give each pet the attention they need. I treat your home with the same respect I give my own. I keep feeding areas clean, tidy up any messes, and make sure the space is safe before I leave. I’m detail-oriented and safety-focused, and I never rush through visits—I want every pet to feel cared for, not just “checked on.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Rillito is $30 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $61 per night. 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Rillito 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 Rillito 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 Rillito 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 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Rillito. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
