“We were so glad that Elizabeth was able to watch our dogs again! It’s such a peace of mind knowing that they are well taken care of with Elizabeth and we feel less anxious about leaving them. Elizabeth sends pictures and updates which we really appreciate. Thank you Elizabeth!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Danielle. She took excellent care of our dog, giving him plenty of attention and love, and keeping to his usual routine as well as sending updates multiple times a day. She also treated our home with great care and left everything clean and in perfect condition. We came home feeling completely at ease, knowing both our dog and our house were in good hands. We have already scheduled Danielle to stay with our dog again in a couple of weeks.”
“Chesnie was a great sitter and I feel lucky to have found her! She was fantastic at communicating with me about my dog re updates/pics/videos. She also was proactive in communicating her plans and when she would be away from the house. She left the house in good condition and I can tell my dog was well cared for. I also had an issue with my return travel and she was able to come back to take care of him, even though that wasn’t part of our original plan. I would definitely recommend Chesnie to other pet owners and I hope to have her again in the future! Thank you Chesnie!”
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.
“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.”
“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!”
“Kayla was exactly what we needed in a dog sitter—and more than anything, she gave our 4-month-old Cavapoo a great buddy for the afternoon while I handled errands and got the house in order. She’s incredibly kind, has great energy, and is someone you immediately trust. She was easy to coordinate with, showed up right on time, and clearly loves dogs. Our little pup was zooming around the room trying to impress her, which says everything. Would absolutely book her again.”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for many of my senior relatives as well as watched pets of my family friends for weeks at a time. I am a student at the university and so I am figuring out my schedule more based around you! I am available 5 days a week and very broad hours. I am incredibly willing to work with any particulars or needs your pet may have. I will make sure to take care of your home if I am petsitting and make it as stress free for you as possible.
“Great communication during the stay. I felt confident that my pets were well cared for and receiving plenty of attention. I came home to a house well in order and happy pets! Would definitely use Esther again!”
“Kat was the ideal sitter for us, and we feel lucky we found her. Her calm peaceful demeanor was such a blessing for our anxious rescue, Dash. He quickly warmed up to her, which almost never happens, and she even let Dash sleep with her. She handled his medications as needed and communicated with us throughout the stay, sending many charming photos. She was so patient and responsive with my many instructions! Kat even left our home sparkly clean. We just hope she is available any time we need a sitter in the future!”
“Bridget is a fantastic person to welcome into your home and to take care of your dogs. She provided consistent and prompt feedback throughout our dogs care. I was never anxious or concerned once! I’m so grateful to have found her and will continue to rebook!”
“Mikayla was fantastic! She was super communicative and very friendly. She took very good care of my pups and my home. I will definitely be booking her again for future travels. I highly recommend!”
“I was very nervous to have someone spend the night at our house. I reviewed a ton of profiles and Tracy’s stood out. She is personable, professional and responsible. You can tell instantly that she is an animal person and a dog momma. She took the time to meet with us twice before the stay. She kept me up to date with messages and photos of my girls and we could not be happier with her services! :) Five stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
About: Toda mi vida tuvimos perros en mi casa, siempre disfruté pasearlos y cuidarlos, hace 4 años adopte mis propias gatitas, eso me hizo enamorarme y querer conocer a todos los gatitos del mundo Para mi sería un honor cuidar y conocer mascotas nuevas, tengo mucho amor y cariño que ofrecerles, puedo dedicarles todo el tiempo que necesiten para que siempre estén felices Puedo ir directamente a la casa de la mascota para que no sufra ningún estrés trasladándolo a otro lugar, tengo la facilidad de poder ir a cada lugar y brindarle el cuidado y paseo que merece cada una
“Kendrick did a great job at our home. The animals were well cared for, and all meds were given as requested. We wanted to book Kendrick again right away but he was already booked, we will book him again next time and reserve more in advance.”
“Pleasant to work with. Very accommodating with a last minute reservation. Helped keep our travels stress free. Definitely recommend and will be rebooking if needed the services”

“Terrific experience. Sara is experienced, understanding, and very committed to the best care for your fur baby.

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.

FAQs for House Sitting - South Tucson
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in South Tucson is $38 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $66 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.
As of October 2026, there are 1,004 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 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 South Tucson. On Rover:
- 91% 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.
