“Danielle stayed in my home for 5 days with my 2 dogs and 2 cats. She took great care of them- one of my dogs needed unexpected antibiotics which she just worked into their routine with ease. The house was in perfect order upon my return, my animals happy and healthy. Fantastic job and lots of pictures and feedback! Thank you so much Danielle!”
“Madison was absolutely wonderful!! She has watched our pack of 4 dogs and 2 cats twice now and we felt safe each time knowing our animals were in great care. She even got our very nervous dog to warm up to her and snuggle her! I highly recommend Madison for any pet sitting, we will be using her again in the future for sure!”
“Fynch has anxiety and Dina worked with him to gain his trust. She sent me pictures regularly as well. She left the house clean, including taking out the trash before leaving. I've never used this service before but I very well may in the future!”
“We’re so glad we found Elizabeth! We felt at ease leaving the dogs with them because they are caring. They sent updates, pictures, and videos of our dogs which gave us peace of mind. We were a little bit worried because one of our dogs is a rescue who does not trust people immediately, but he felt so comfortable with Elizabeth and they were great with him. We’re lucky to have found Elizabeth on rover and hope to have them watch our dogs again in the future! Thank you Elizabeth!”
“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.❤️🙏🏼”
“Leanna was a great sitter! She sent lots of pictures and was always very responsive. She got along well with my dog and I could tell they were having a great time. Highly recommend”
“Maggie is a delight! She took great care of my almost 18y.o. kitty. My kitty has lots of special needs. Maggie has a gentle approach which was just what my girl needs. I couldn't be happier with the care she took of my home. You would lucky to have Maggie as your sitter!!!”
“Allison was great with communication. It was my first time to use Rover, as I usually go with friends I trust but it’s time to get a real professional. I was reassured several times a day (which is what I asked for) that my dogs were ok. Allison did ask for the quirks and preferences of my 2 dogs, of they have some, and I feel she really listened, understood & acted on the information. I was breathing a little easier knowing Alison was doing her sincere business of pet love & care. Thank you, Alison!”
“Not sure who liked her more our dog or us!!! Sammie is amazing! Followed the directions for our dog down to the very finest detail. She communicates often and clearly and took care of everything we needed. We highly recommend Sammie and will calling her in the future!”
“Christina did a wonderful job with our dog and 2 cats. She was professional, arranging a meetup and taking seriously all our pets needs. She went above and beyond to make our pets and ourselves feel secure. She provided regular updates and took plenty of photos. She kept our house clean and even provided toys for the pets. We recommend Christina for anyone needing her services.”
“Charlotte was amazing! She constantly sent me pictures of the dogs as well as updates. She was caring for our two dogs & I would definitely refer her & use her again. Thank you charlotte for everything!”
About: Hi! I've been caring for dogs for as long as I can remember and have over 10 years of official pet-sitting experience. From family and friends' pets to Rover clients, I've always loved providing a safe, comfortable, and caring environment for every dog. While I took a break from actively booking through Rover for a few years, I'm excited to be back and look forward to meeting new pets and their owners. I work a full-time job Monday through Friday and work from home on Mondays and Fridays, allowing for extra attention and flexibility those days. I also have a dog and cat of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pet. Whether your dog enjoys walks, playtime, or relaxing at home, I'll treat them like part of my own family and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I work full time from 9am-5pm Monday - Friday. Mondays and Fridays are work-from-home days, so I am available to give extra attention to any pets in my care. I am up early and stay up moderately late, so I can accommodate early morning or nighttime walks that avoid the heat. I have a very friendly Australian Shepherd that loves to play with other dogs. Our home is multi-level, so best for dogs that are physically comfortable going up and down stairs. Our location has a lot of areas for walks, and park play, which is a part of our routine whenever watching a client in our home. When caring for a pet in their own home, I make every effort to mimic any routines they are used to. This assists in helping dogs feel safe and comfortable, and leads to a better overall experience. I am a very clean person, so it is important to me to keep others' spaces that way as well.
About: I have cared for dogs my whole life, including dog sitting, walking, feeding, playtime, and overnight care. I grew up around K9 handlers, which gave me experience with dog behavior, obedience, scent work, and safe handling. I have also trained my own Golden Retriever, which helped me build patience, consistency, and confidence working with dogs. I also have grooming experience, including bathing, brushing, drying, de-shedding, de-matting, and handling dogs with different temperaments. I am currently a student at the University of Arizona earning my BA in Animal Science, and my ultimate goal is to earn my MA in dog behavior. I always focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m a university student, so pet care fits well into my weekly routine. I am available for check-ins, feeding visits, walks, playtime, and overnight care depending on my class schedule. I do my best to be dependable, flexible, and communicate clearly with pet parents. When caring for pets, I focus on safety, comfort, and trust. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding, routines, medications, litter boxes, and home rules. I make sure pets have fresh water, a clean space, and calm care. I also give regular updates so owners know their pets are safe.
“I was so nervous to leave my pups for the first time with a sitter. However, I was so happy and pleasantly surprised to have Kayla as our dog sitter for the first time. She spent so much time with the puppies and was very attentive to their needs. Sending lots of pictures while we were on vacation. I will absolutely be using her hopefully in the future if she’s available. I would highly recommend her to anybody who wants somebody who will truly care for their animals.”
“Marnesha was awesome w our 3 pups—they loved her right away. She has great attention to detail—kept track of all of their quirks—and an easy-going, confident vibe. Highly recommend!”
“Alyssa did a great job with our pup and our home during her house sitting! Everything we asked of her was followed, all while maintaining love and care for the most important things in our lives. Her background in animal behavior came in handy, as she was able to pick up on the emotional and physical needs of our girl. She provided updates as we requested, which meant receiving some really great aesthetic photos of our dog playing and enjoying the sun! We came back to a clean house, including the laundry she had used in the guest room being washed and dried. This made returning much easier after a long vacation away. We certainly plan to use her services again and hope to create a lasting relationship with her, should we find ourselves needing a wonderful sitter in the future.”
“Sydney took amazing care of our pups and our cats over a long weekend. We have very needy animals and one very anxious dog but he seemed to really take a liking to Sydney over the few days. Animals just know when they’re in good hands. She not only made sure everyone was always comfortable and happy, she took it upon herself to do some cleaning around our home as well. Sydney absolutely exceeded our expectations and we can not wait to continue using her services in the future.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in South Tucson is $45
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - South Tucson
👏👏OUTSTANDING 👏👏 I returned home (after a 3 week trip) to a happy dog, a very clean & tidy home. I am very grateful to Eli and feel very fortunate to have had her here taking care of my pup and home! Eli was a specially patient and kind to my very frightened, shy four year-old terrier. I received daily updates and photos of my pup, Jimmy. Eli is an EXCELLENT communicator; she is prompt, responsible, resourceful and was very respectful of my home. I am immensely grateful to Eli for all her caring and patience with Jimmy. I felt 100% assured that he was in kind and caring hands. I can’t wait to have her sit again. Having Eli house/ pup sit for me was a lot like winning the lottery. Thanks so much Eli
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.
Melanie looked after our multiple pets very well and also cared for our house while we were away for 10 days. We felt very comfortable with her and the house was in great shape when we got home, and the pets were all healthy and happy. Melanie stayed in touch throughout our trip. We would be happy to have her back again.
Carmen was an amazing dog sitter! She kept in communication with me on a daily basis, as I asked, she followed all the instructions I left her for my dog and the house such as taking the trash out and watering the plants. When she wasn’t sure of something, she would check in with me to ask which I really appreciated. I would absolutely recommend Carmen as a sitter and I will definitely use her services again! My dog loved her and was well taken care of.
Evelyn is fantastic! ❤️ We definitely will recommend her and we will book again soon with her! She is sweet, responsible, professional and communicative. My dog Leo was sick and she took care of him. This gave us so much peace while we were traveling. She send us videos and photos and that was a plus! Thank you Evelyn
Charlotte was a great sitter for my elderly dog. She really loves animals and was so kind to my dog Betty. She housesat for me and always communicated well and my home and Betty were in perfect shape when we got home. She was able to troubleshoot when Betty had potty accidents in the home and made sure to send lots of photos. Would book again and recommend.

FAQs for House Sitting - South Tucson
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in South Tucson on Rover is $35.52 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,005 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across South Tucson. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

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.
