“Kara was perfect. Flexible for our crazy schedule. Reports were delivered just in time to quell my anxiety. The Bear looked VERY comfortable with her and her pup. I will definitely work with Kara again when we’re back in Tucson.”
“Hay took such great care of our pups. Very responsive. Updated us regularly (but not too much). Our pups have some unique quirks that Hay had zero trouble managing. We felt comfortable and confident knowing the dogs were in good hands. Not to mention, an overall lovely person!”
“Brianna did a great job watching our house and elderly pup! She had great communication and we appreciated the frequent updates and images. Our house looked just as good as we left it, nothing out of the ordinary. We’ll definitely be using her in the future!”
About: I’ve been caring for all kinds of furry animals for several years and absolutely love spending time with them. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, bunnies, guinea pigs, and other furry companions, and I’m comfortable adapting to each animal’s unique needs, personality, and routine. I’m experienced with feeding, walking, playtime, cleaning, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to care for their pets, and I always treat every animal like my own. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet have a positive, stress-free experience. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member soon! I’m available every day for pet care and would love the opportunity to spend time with your pets! I have a daytime work schedule during the week, but for house sitting, I’m able to stay in your home, care for your pets in the morning before heading out, and return after work to continue their routine and spend quality time with them. I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual schedule and make sure they continue receiving the care and attention they’re used to. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy, and I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I know every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and little quirks. Whether your pet loves going on walks, playing with their favorite toys, cuddling on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I’m happy to meet them where they’re comfortable. I’ll make sure your pets receive consistent care throughout your time away, including meals, fresh water, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and plenty of attention and affection. I’m also attentive to keeping their environment clean and making sure everything is left just as I found it. When you’re away, I want your pets to feel as comfortable and secure as possible in their own home. I understand that leaving your pets with someone new can be stressful, so I do my best to provide reliable communication, regular updates, and lots of reassurance. My goal is for you to feel confident knowing your pets are being cared for, loved, and treated like they’re my own while you’re away. 🐾💕 When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding, fresh water, walks, litter box cleaning if needed, playtime, and giving them plenty of attention. I also make sure the home stays neat and send updates so owners know their pets are doing well.
“Korrina was amazing with our Golden while we were out of town for the weekend. She communicated often and was reliable. She left our home clean and took good care of it while we were away. Would definitely book her again!”
“This was Alison’s second time staying with Snacks and we hope she will be back for more. Great updates, happy, comfortable pup and a clean house. We are so thankful for the wonderful care she provides!”
“Amber did a wonderful job taking care of my wonderful dog Wes and my temperamental cat muffin. I felt they were safe and in good hands with Amber. She took Wes to the park. They had quite a few outings, she really loves animals.”
“Presley was attentive and loving to our babies. They loved her! She is very polite and punctual. She cleaned up before she left and even took the trash out. We will book with her again!”
“This was our first time having Lisa watch Henry and Ruthie and she was great! They seemed very happy and content when we got home. Great communication and the house looked great! We will invite her again to watch our pets!”
“Tracy was incredible! She was so sweet and caring towards our dog and cat. She was incredibly thorough and professional. We loved getting the daily pictures and updates from her. I would recommend her highly to anyone!”
“Lily is the absolute sweetest pet sitter! Goes above and beyond, teaching tricks, and bonus walks! Her report cards for our fur babies are our favorite! Great communication!”
“Thank you so much for watching over our babies. I felt super comfortable since we did do a meet and greet before the actual babysitting. She sent pictures every day and we really did feel like they were in great hands. Will definitely book again.❤️🙏🏼”
“Samantha was an amazing dog sitter. She sent lots of pictures, walked them, and gave them all the attention they needed. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing that my fur babies were in good hands.”
“Mia went above and beyond housesitting for us and took amazing care of our 2 dogs! Hesitant to even write this review because I don’t want to share her!! She sent lots of updates and communicated super well, we definitely felt like our home and dogs were in great hands during our trip :))”

Eli was FAB …our precious 5 mo old Cavapoo Bluey was cared for as if she were Eli’s own! She was protected from all the dangerous dead fall sharp tipped debris from our mesquite trees which we know takes a lot of special effort cuz everything goes into our puppy’s mouth! We greatly appreciated the shared pics while we were away and the album of videos and pics of her week after our return. The frozen wet kitchen towel rolls with hidden treats to help her teething were very thoughtful and our home was well cared for. We hope to use Eli again!!
Esther is a top notch house and pet sitter. She took care of our large, smart and very active dog for a week! She cleaned up after the dog and the house extremely well. Esther is an excellent communicator and will love your pets like they are her own! We are so grateful to have Esther housesit for us! She is a gem!
I know that when I leave my crabby, elderly, mostly blind dog with Charlotte to house sit that she will be treated with kindness and care. She gives me updates on how my dog Betty is doing and notices when she seems a little more lethargic or if she has any new sore spots from her arthritis. My house is also spotless when I get back so I don’t have to worry about messes after a long work trip or late night flight home. I know Betty does well with her, she is always happy and bright eyed when I get home from being away. 100% recommend.
First time we were able to get away after moving to Tucson a year ago without taking our dog. We lucked out by finding Kara on Rover! She stayed and took great care of both our home and our slightly spoiled and crazy CC! We appreciated the many updates and photos she sent. We will definitely reach out to her again.
Marnesha was fantastic! Super communicative, personable, and friendly. She took great care of my dog and made me feel completely comfortable knowing she was in good hands. Everything went smoothly, and I’d absolutely book with Marnesha again. Highly recommend!
Our pup is 120lb Boerboel and Maddison was excellent with him. We had newly adopted him and only had him 4 weeks when we needed a sitter. She had experience with giant breeds which was a great match for us. He was nervous and scared of her at first, but she was patient and thoughtful with him. By the end of the week, they were having a great time. She sent tons of pictures and was excellent with communication! We will definitely be requesting her again.
Leticia was wonderful. I highly recommend her. She communicates well, took great pictures, kept us informed about Scarlett and followed all of our directions. She made us feel comfortable while we were away and took good care of Scarlett. We would definitely use her again.
Kayla, did a wonderful job taking care of my two dogs, two tortoises, garden and house. She sent messages and pictures daily. Kayla gave love and needed medication to my dogs. I highly recommend her for house sitting and pet watching. I definitely will use her again.

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 South Tucson 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 South Tucson 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 South Tucson 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
