“Annette is the person you always hoped you'd find to care for your beloved pets. She is simply: amazing. Annette cared for our two Labradors--one an 12 year old senior with some special needs, and our younger, much more active 6 year old Labrador. It was obvious how well she cared for them by the questions she asked about their behavior and habits while we were gone. And, the videos and images she sent portrayed our pets as perfectly content and well-cared for. She was attentive during our meet and greet, and on the morning of our departure. She sent us daily updates, pictures/videos and was reliably available if we had questions for her. She also cared for our home and left it impeccably clean and tidy--including a lovely casserole dinner in the fridge for us after a long and arduous return home. Additionally, she handled a leaking roof in our garage with steady, calm and thoughtful determination. Many would have been flustered by the situation, but not Annette. After our return, it was obvious how well-cared for our two Labradors had been, as they were looking for her for several days after our return. We will ABSOLUTELY use Annette again in the future, and highly recommend her capable, caring and absolutely top-notch professional services. Thank you, Annette--we are grateful for your care in our absence.”
“Heather was wonderful! I already have her booked again and will use her every time she is available when I have a need for a sitter. She sent pictures and videos and I could tell my babies were happy.😊”
“Maria was fantastic. She's sends regular updates and is quick to respond to messages. She took excellent care of our pup and our home. Absolutely plan to check her availability for any future trips.”
“Robert was wonderful! He was on time, very kind and took special care with our elderly and blind dachshund. She needs extra attention on walks and outside around our pool, he was very patient and understanding with this. He provided photos and detailed updates on how she was doing. Our house was spotless and our dog was calm and content when we arrived back home. We will be booking Rob for future dates.”
“Alison did great with our dogs. Our dogs are both rescues and she was very patient with them. She was great at communicating with us while we were away. We came home to a clean house and happy pups. We highly recommend her.”
“Am so happy to have found Cambria!! She took such great care of my pups. I have two high energy pups with one taking more time to warm up to someone. Cambria set up times before hand to get to know my pups and it worked so well! Highly recommend!!!”
“I had to go out of town at the last minute. A friend suggested Rover. Ander was available for a last minute stay. We met to see how Ander and Willy would be. I was very surprised at how comfortable Willy was. I am grateful for the care and attention he gave to Willy. I will happily be a repeat customer. I also appreciate that he only has one “family” of pets at a time. Thank you Ander for going out of your way to help us.”
“Kayla was absolutely wonderful taking care of our two big dogs. She exuded kindness, earnestness, and responsibility. While we were gone, she sent daily pictures and updates. Upon our return, while our dogs were very happy to see us, they were very attentive to her as well. Our house was clean and neat and the dogs were as well. She took them on daily walks and allowed our younger one to sleep with her. We could not be more satisfied with Kayla and highly recommend her without any reservations.”
“Robyn is a fantastic petsitter and housesitter. She went above and beyond — sending daily updates and pictures of our five pets, and leaving our house cleaner than when we left. (It was a nice surprise to come home to!) Would definitely trust her with our zoo again!”
“Lucille was wonderful! She was very punctual, professional, and reliable throughout the entire week. Bear was well taken care of and seemed happy and comfortable while I was away. It gave me great peace of mind knowing he was in good hands and that his needs were being looked after. I would absolutely recommend Lucille and would be happy to book with her again in the future. Thanks again for taking such great care of Bear! 🐾”
“Kaitlynn took great care of our elderly, anxious pup while we were away for our wedding. She put Lenny at ease which in turn helped us relax and not worry about how she was doing. Thank you for taking good care of our fur baby!”
“Highly recommend having Charlotte care for your pets and or home while you’re away! She is kind, great with our animals, amazing to communicate with, and sent so many heart warming photo updates. We came to a clean home, and most importantly happy healthy animals! Thank you Charlotte!”
About: I’ve taken care of a wide range of dogs, from chihuahuas to greyhounds and pit bulls! I’ve cared for young and geriatric dogs, dogs with anxiety, and have experience giving medication (oral meds and eye drops!) I’m off for the summer before school, so my schedule is flexible! I have one recurring event Saturday mornings, other than that we can figure out what works best for you and your pet! My home is not available for pets right now, but I am happy to take care of your pet in their own home! I am open to dropping in as well as staying the night to keep them company! I would like to keep their routine as steady as possible, and am happy to play with them, let them out, take them on walks, etc. as best fits their normal schedule!
About: I'm a first-year veterinary students so I work with animals on the daily! I've been an animal lover since I was a child when I started volunteering at my local animal shelter, and now I'm on my path to become a veterinarian (fingers crossed)! I'd love to watch your pet so you can freely take care of your other responsibilities you may have! I'm currently a full-time student in Oro Valley, and have classes every weekday, which end at 5pm. I can walk your dog immediately after class at 5pm or at 11am which are when we have lunch breaks! On weekends, I have open availability for walks, drop-in visits, and house-sitting! I will reliably follow instructions you give me regarding house-sitting at your home and make sure nothing goes wrong. I'll give you text updates of your furry friend so you know they are in good hands :)

Mackenzie took wonderful care of my pets and my house. This was my first time having anyone other than family take care of my animals and she gave me great piece of mind knowing they were safe and fed. She is very quick answering messages and gave reassurance that everything was okay, and I was able to relax and enjoy my trip. My home and animals were in great shape when I got home and I will definitely be using Mackenzie again when I travel. Thank you, Mackenzie for going the extra mile to relieve my anxiety about leaving my boys with a "stranger". You're not a stranger anymore and I'm thrilled to have you as part of my little, furry family.
Sofía was great!! She was very easy to work with and is very kind and sweet. We returned home to find our dogs, relaxed and happy!! This is the marker of a good dog sitter. Also, she followed all of our instructions and communicated well with us during her entire time with our dogs. (Pictures & notes) I would definitely recommend her and use her services anytime that she is available!
I'm so grateful that Ed was able to pet sit again. I came home to happy animals and the house was spotless! (he must have cleaned up, which is above and beyond the call of duty!!). I highly recommend Ed, you can't find a more pleasant and responsible pet sitter!

FAQs for House Sitting - Tortolita
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Tortolita on Rover is $58.93 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,003 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Tortolita. 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 Tortolita 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 Tortolita 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 Tortolita 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Tortolita. On Rover:
- 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
