About: I've taken care of a variety of pets since I was young. I have 5 years experience with taking care of both hairless and furry dogs. Through my own dog and watching my friends pets. I have handled anxious and hyper dogs before and will try and make your baby as comfortable as possible. I have experience with exotic pets such as rodents, birds and reptiles and can care for them during your time away as well. I am currently a university student and have weekends and various days during the week free to take care of yourself pets while you are gone. I can stay with your pets all day or do check ins twice a day. I am an attentive sitter and try to let dogs out every hour while making sure in the hot arizona weather that they don't burn their paws. I am also glad to do excursion dog sitting and can take them out for hikes and long walks as the weather cools down.
“Caitlin and Kai took amazing care of my cat. They sent updates and pictures after every visit and were very communicative. Phin seemed to have fun with them and he felt comfortable with them which o was worried about as we have never used Rover before. I highly recommend Caitlin and Kai and I will definitely rebook with them in the future.”
“Mari was absolutely amazing with my sweet kitty Meli! Her updates were super thoughtful, long, and detailed, and it was clear she took such great care of her - it also made me feel so much better since I missed Mel so much! Meli can be really shy and usually takes a while to warm up to new people, but she really came out of her shell with Mari in just 3 days, which says so much!! I felt completely comfortable knowing Meli was in such caring hands. Mari is the best, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter! (':”
About: I’ve had furry friends my entire life, and have been taking care of other people’s pets since I was 13. Pet sitting is not just a hobby for me but passion that started my own childhood home. Having dogs in my own home, and thinking how I’d want a sitter to treat my doggie, I will be sending lots of photos, having clear communication with owner, and always be available to call if the owner needs to contact me on a doggie matter. I can take care of furry friends nearly everyday out of the week, although I am currently in collage and my schedule is Mondays and Tuesdays from 8:15 to 2:45. I do not have any pets at my house, so if your furry friend does not do well with other dogs it’s a perfect fit. If a dog is quite energetic and social we will go on lots of walkies to tire them out so there not missing out!
About: At 55, I have been a pet owner most of my life. When I first moved to Tucson in 2006, my now wife had a husky and tabby cat which we unfortunately lost years ago. Since then we have been mainly cat owners seeing as our house is quite small but I do miss being around, playing with and walking dogs. I am mature but still a kid at heart, flexible schedule, reliable transportation, indoors mostly but loves to be outside and, above all, a lifetime fan of animals. Cheers! Seeing as I work from home and set my own schedule, I can be there when you need, as you need, if you need, all of that. Breaking away from my laptop and house husband duties to hang out with your dog(s) or cat(s) for an extended amount of time is a far better prospect than running errands or checking the mail. Since February of this year, 2026, we are proud parents of a a brother and sister combo of, lets say, rather enthusiastic kittens. It is a small cottage midtown, a safe and loving environment with far too many toys that they sometimes play with, food and water bowls that are always full, I take time out every afternoon to deep clean the house and I even started an Instagram for them that is usually either a) the duo being in the way when we're trying to watch a movie or me cooking dinner or b) chronicling what we like to call "turbo time", aka the zoomies.
“Marlee was a great Petsitter for our cat. She made sure everything was taken care of and sent us updates along the way. I would highly recommend Marlee for future pet sitting needs!”
“Aiyana was a wonderful cat-sitter for our kitties. She instantly bonded with them on a pre-trip visit to our home. She is a very good communicator and sent us pictures regularly while we were gone. When we got home, our cats were healthy and happy! I highly recommend her as a pet-sitter (and she's a super nice person as well!)”
About: Responsible grad student with tons of pet care experience! I'm a bunny owner with lots of experience in unusual and sensitive pets, including bunnies, rats, guinea pigs, reptiles, and birds. I've fostered a bunny with E. cuniculi and worked with medical fosters, so I'm good at being sanitary and keeping other pets safe when one is sick! I have also done lots of dogsitting and catsitting for all ages. I'm a runner and would love to run with your dog! I'm good with high-energy leash walkers, and have watched many small puppies, hospice and elderly cats, and energetic dogs. Can't wait to meet your pets! I'm a grad student with a pretty flexible schedule. Book me whenever! Mornings and evenings are especially great, but I can house sit and run/walk dogs any time of day. My bunny at home gets frequent attention and care. I know how hard it is to leave my pet while I'm travelling and be worried about how he's doing. I'll send tons of photos and updates so you know your pet is happy and healthy! I pay lots of attention to the details and will make sure your pet has everything it needs, and keep things clean and happy in their environment!
About: Have been walking neighbors dogs for my whole life and dog/cat sit to earn the responsibility of getting my own! My baby is a german shepard/ pitbull mix and he's the sweetest ever. I have experience caring for dogs from the pima animal shelter and giving them the best day they can have. From scared shelter dogs to puppy's in their shark phase, I have loved and cared for them all. I love all breeds big or small and can't wait to meet yours!❤️🥹 I'm an online student at the UofA making my days super flexable. I love to go on long walks and would love to have a buddy. I first prioritize making your pet feel comfortable with a stranger in the home and letting them know i'm not a threat. I mainly let them sniff and approach me then pet them and exhibit calm and trustworthy energy but will also treat them if given permission by the owner. I am guilty of baby talking animals and can promise to show the most love and care to your fur baby.
About: Providing expert, high-level care for pets with complex needs. Whether your companion is senior, disabled, exotic, requires daily medication, or needs cautious handling for behavioral traits, I offer safe, knowledgeable, and dedicated care. A pet fits smoothly into my weekly schedule. Although I work 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, I wake up early for morning routines and am fully free after 5:00 PM for evening care. My job is extremely flexible if an animal ever needs mid-day attention. Weekends are ideal, as I have full availability to provide attentive care all day and night. When pets enter an unfamiliar setting, I give them a quiet room to adjust at their own pace, maintaining their normal routine with periodic check-ins until they feel safe. In their home, I stick strictly to their schedule and give them space to relax. Every animal is different, so whether a pet is cuddly or standoffish, I respect their boundaries and offer love on their terms while keeping you updated on feeding, outside time, and behavior.
“Sasha took incredible care of our cats. She was very responsible, arriving at the designated times and following all of the feeding instructions. She was patient while they warmed up to her. I appreciated the fun photos and feedback she shared after each visit. I returned home to very happy and relaxed cats. This was evidence that she took tremendous care to make sure they were happy during her visits.”
“Cerise was very gentle and caring when we needed last minute pet medication administered to my elderly cat while I was away on a work trip. It was great knowing that I had someone to count on to gently give medications in a knowledgeable manner to Olive. Great communicator and Olive is now feeling sooooo much better. Can not thank you enough. Would highly recommend.”
“Kailey cared for our two cats, Dusty and Elenor, in our home from December 23–27, 2025, and we couldn’t be happier with her service. She visited twice a day, fed them, and took great care to make sure they were comfortable while we were away. We especially appreciated the photo updates she sent—they gave us peace of mind and made us smile each day. We returned to happy, well-cared-for cats and a home just as we left it. We highly recommend Kailey to anyone in need of a reliable and caring pet sitter. We will definitely book with her again!”
“He was great with 3 cats. He had them at his house just for the day and he stayed with them and kept them out of trouble. Also offered to carry my stuff alot of times which is nice because these cats are heavy. Was worth the money. Will book again if needed.”
“Desiree is my first cat sitter since moving to Tucson a few months ago, and I will reach out again for her services. Good updates and lots of pictures. I knew it was a good sign when my two shy cats tentatively poked their heads out from underneath the bed for treats during her first time with them, and then after her second time with them, they came out to play! I truly believe that only someone good with cats can make that happen.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs from all ages since I was 14! I love to find new trails, parks, and of course local coffee shops that give out the best pup cups. I will treat your pet like they are my own. I’m currently working part time so I will have plenty of time to care for your pets. The days I work during the week are variable but I also can request to not work days that you’d want your pet with me if given enough notice. I can accept your pets on the weekend as well. I have plenty of space for your dog in my house. I do have a large crate if needed. It’s currently just me and my husband who live here. I don’t have any other pets at the moment. I can easily take your dog(s) on walks in the neighborhood or drive to a nearby park. We have a nice fenced backyard space so your pets can roam outside as well.
About: I have pet sit both cats and dogs for many years! I am trusted and a huge animal person. I will treat your pets as if they are my own!

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - South Tucson
Campbell was wonderful with my cat. She gave her so much love and attention and made sure she was comfortable and well cared for while I was away. Campbell was very responsive and kept me updated with messages and great photos. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter, and I would happily book with her again!
For this trip to Las Vegas, our original pet sitter wasn’t available due to a scheduling conflict, so we decided to try someone new. Alexis caught my attention because of her background as a veterinary technician. Since I reached out to her a little later than I had hoped, I was initially worried about how everything would work out. I’m so glad I found her. She accommodated our schedule perfectly, and even though I left a very detailed set of instructions, she followed every single one of them flawlessly. Knowing our pets were in such caring and capable hands allowed my family to truly relax and enjoy our trip. Thank you, Alexis, for your dedication, professionalism, and genuine love for animals. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for exceptional pet care. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!

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 .
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 , 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 .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
