“Ginger & Bryan were awesome! They took great care of our Trooper. Trooper was so relaxed and happy when we got back home. We are so happy to have had them watch him while we went on our trip. Our first experience with rover and we couldn't have asked for a better pair to take care of our dog. We will definitely use them again”
“Sky was absolutely amazing with my 3 cats. They loved her! She sent pictures and updates at every visit and always arrived in a timely manner for my kitties. Communication was amazing and I will definitely be rebooking Sky in the future.”
“Heather was wonderful! My mom was in town with her two very particular chis and Heather dropped in to check on my dog and my mom's dogs. Though my mom's dogs weren't in the mood to make a new friend, Heather was patient and kind with all. I appreciated the pics and update she provided after the visit. Thank you!”
“Lauren is the best! She took great care of our kitties, checked in with lots of cute pictures every day, and made us feel that our babies were in really great hands. We can only recommend her!”

About: I’ve had English bulldogs for 10 years. I haven’t met a dog I didn’t love. I can administer most meds with instructions. I’ll care for your dog as if it were my own and she’s spoiled! I work full-time but mostly remote, so I’m home a lot. I can ensure your dog’s needs are met on a daily basis, they’re the best companions. I have a fenced yard and a small area with turf for potty breaks. I live near a dog park and can take them there, weather permitting. I consider dogs a part of the household so they’re allowed everywhere but I’ll also follow your lead if you have specific instructions.
“Jeri is absolutely wonderful. We have booked her several times. Does a great job with caring for our dogs. Great attention to detail, an amazing communicator and most importantly - she gives our doggies so much love.”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. I’ve also had cats my whole life and recently I got a snake and eight ducks I love taking care of animals and I wanted to be a veterinarian when I was little, I have done animal sitting/housesitting since I was 16. I have a very open schedule and have been wanting to walk more often so taking dogs on walks would help with that. I also love to spend time with animals and I would be able to stay in your house full time if I am house sitting if you would like me to otherwise I can just check on them throughout the day and then stay at night In my house our dogs get fed once a day and we have a doggy door so that they can go outside whenever they need to potty. The cat is free fed and always has water in her dish. I understand that people have different schedules for their animals and I can stick to them to make sure you’re pet stays healthy and safe
“Melissa was dependable & on time. All 3 kitties were happy & we'll cared for. They got personal loves and attention. She went above and beyond and brought all our package deliveries in to the house. Will check her availability next time we're away.”
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
“I've used Alexis three times now, including a recent week-long trip, and she's been consistently excellent. She's reliable, communicative, and clearly cares about my cat's well-being. I always come home to a happy, well-cared-for cat and have complete peace of mind while I'm away. I wouldn't hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy cat sitter.”
About: I understand the responsibility and trust that comes with caring for someone’s pet. I’m someone who takes commitments seriously, pays attention to details, and believes that every pet deserves patience, kindness, and consistency. My background has taught me how to be dependable, organized, and calm in unexpected situations. I work in an environment where communication, problem solving, and taking care of people’s needs are part of my everyday routine, and I bring that same mindset into caring for pets. I’m also someone who enjoys staying active and spending time outdoors. I understand that many dogs need more than just a quick walk they need attention, exercise, and someone who is willing to be present with them. I enjoy walking, being outside, and creating a positive experience for pets while keeping them safe. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine. Whether it’s a young pet that needs extra patience and attention, an energetic dog that needs exercise and playtime, or a senior pet that needs a calmer approach, I’m willing to learn their needs and provide care that makes them feel safe and comfortable. My goal is to give owners peace of mind knowing their pets are being treated with respect, attention, and genuine care while they’re away. Pet care would fit well into my routine because I’m someone who values responsibility, consistency, and taking care of things the right way. I currently have a structured schedule and I’m used to managing responsibilities, solving problems, and making sure people can count on me. Even though I haven’t had a pet in a long time, I understand how important pets are to their families. I know they are not just animals, they are part of someone’s home and daily life. I would treat every pet with patience, attention, and respect, making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. I enjoy being active, spending time outdoors, and building trust with others. I would bring the same level of commitment and care that I bring to everything else I do into taking care of someone’s pet. When caring for a pet in my client’s home, I would treat their home and their pet with the same respect and attention I would want for my own\. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, so I would take the time to learn their schedule, feeding instructions, walking preferences, and any special care they require. I believe consistency is very important for pets, especially when their owners are away\. I would make sure they receive attention, exercise, playtime, fresh water, and a safe environment while following all instructions provided by the owner. I’m someone who is organized, responsible, and pays attention to details\. My goal would be to give pet owners peace of mind knowing their pets are being cared for by someone who is dependable and genuinely wants them to feel comfortable and happy.
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 been an animal lover my entire life and have grown up surrounded by pets. I’ve had dogs and other animals of my own, and caring for animals has always been something I genuinely enjoy. I currently volunteer regularly at local animal shelters, including the Arizona Humane Society, where I get to spend time caring for and supporting animals in need. I also have previous dog-sitting experience from high school and am excited to get back into it! While I’m unable to have a dog of my own right now because of school, dog sitting gives me the opportunity to spend time with the animals I love. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own, with patience, attention, affection, and plenty of love. 🐾❤️ I work full-time Monday through Friday from 8 AM–5 PM. If you’re located close to my workplace, I have a full hour lunch break and can stop by for a midday check-in, potty break, or some extra love and attention. For dog sitting, I’m available after 7 PM on weekdays and can do overnight stays, as I typically like to hit the gym after work. Weekends are where I have the most flexibility and I’m fully available to give your pets plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles. 🐾❤️ I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and will always do my best to provide reliable, consistent care! When caring for pets in your home, I have a consistent routine that can easily be adjusted to fit your pet’s normal schedule and needs. I naturally wake up around 7 AM and start my day with a morning walk or run, which I’d be happy to include your pup in! Since I live in Arizona, I’m mindful of the heat and will plan outdoor activities for earlier in the morning or cooler times of the day to keep your pet safe and comfortable. Throughout the day, I’ll set aside dedicated time for play, attention, and enrichment. I also enjoy incorporating simple training exercises into playtime when appropriate, especially if your pet enjoys learning and mental stimulation. I do set aside about two hours each day for the gym, so there will be a short period when I’m away. Outside of that, my schedule is very flexible, and I’m happy to adjust my routine around your pet’s feeding, walking, medication, bathroom, and rest schedule. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable, cared for, and right at home while you’re away. 🐾❤️

Pet 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!!
This is our second time booking Megan, and we’re so impressed with her. She took care of our boy for 3 days and was incredibly flexible with a last-minute schedule change, which we really appreciated. She also provided multiple, detailed updates throughout the stay, giving us peace of mind that our dog was in great hands. Highly recommend! Thank you again Megan!! Snuck will definitely be seeing you again soon.
Sarah has been so amazing with our pups. She’s on time, responsible and kind to them. We have her come do drop-in visits during the day and she plays with our pups, has great communication and follows all of our instructions. I recommend her for all your pet needs!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Rillito is $13 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $18 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 1,315 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Rillito. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.

- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
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.
