“She arrived on time, did everything we asked. She sent great pictures and went on may walks and spent time outside with him. Our dog loved her and we would definitely have her house sit again!!”
“Dani is a wonderful pet sitter. She is tuned in to my pets needs and is a conscientious house sitter as well. My shy pet fell in love with her and Dani shared pics with us while we were away. Dani is responsible and an excellent communicator.”
“Danielle has come for drop ins and a few nights of housesitting. The most important thing was that my dogs love her! But, she also took great care of the house, followed instructions and provided check-ins so I knew everything was going well. Happy to recommend or use her services again.”
“We had a great experience with Amy! She was very responsive and took great care of our pups while we were away for an overnight stay! And she left them a little pack of treats on her exit! ❤️ Would recommend!”
“By the end of the week she was able to get all three of my very anxious and shy cats to share space with her. She was even able to give them all loves. I couldn’t have asked for more. My poor babies were all rescued from rough situations so they are always very timid”
“Marcie was super sweet with Sonya. She sent us tons of pics and was very responsive which we really appreciated! She also treated our house like her own and left without a trace. Highly recommend Marcie to watch your pet.”
“Charlotte did an excellent job of pet sitting Abby in my home. She sent me a picture and updates. She has a nice friendly personality. This was just a one night stay. She is scheduled for a two week stay later this month.”
“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.”
“Sophia very high quality person, dog sitter and house sitter. House was clean and organized as it was left and the dogs were well cared for including many pictures. Great human, would have her back any time I travel.”
“What a wonderful experience with Marnesha. She took care of Rowdy while I was on a mini-vacation. When I came back, Rowdy told me he felt like he was on vacation under Marnesha's care. He is an elder pup and Marnesha made sure he got all his required medicines and vitamins. You will not be disappointed with the care that her and her beautiful dog, Sebastian, will provide. Thank you Marnesha.”
“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!”
“Kenna was so great with Griswold! He is unique in his size, and his quirks, and she took great care of him. He was so happy in the photos she shared and we could tell how loved he was in our time away. Thank you, Kenna!”
“Samirah is an AMAZING human! Seriously one of the best pet sitter’s we’ve ever had. My dog had an unexpected medical emergency while we were gone and had to go to the emergency vet, Samirah got him there super quickly even though it was very late at night, took amazing care of him while he was scared at the ER, and was super communicative with us the whole time while we drove back home. Obviously it was not an ideal situation to have while we were on vacation but we felt so comforted to know that Samirah was taking great care of him. Even the staff at the emergency vet told me how amazing she was with him!!!! She also took great care of our cat and our house even with a sick puppy to look after! If you are looking for a kind, professional, trustworthy, communicative pet sitter, Samirah is the one!!!!”
“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!”

About: A true professional will provide you with unparalleled peace of mind so you can focus on family, fun or work while traveling. I'm Brit, an independently insured pet sitter and local Tucsonan. Pet sitting is my full time job! Booking with me will make it as easy and stress free as possible to be away from your beloved pet(s). The Kitty Cottage is a lovely garden studio where your feline friends can relax in peace without the worries of traditional boarding solutions that involve sharing ventilation and space with pets from other households. It has 128 sqft of floor space as well as a 32 sqft loft. The cottage has been designed for excellent bird watching opportunities from every level - floor, cat furniture and loft. Accessibility can be modified based on your kitties' needs. Cats of all personalities and physical ability love the climate-controlled cottage overlooking a garden which hosts many birds, butterflies, and lizards daily. We have every kind of pet enrichment to offer so your cat will benefit from novel, mentally satisfying experiences every single day! Music made for cats softly plays throughout the day, with the soundtrack changed daily. A tablet plays games and videos for them. New toys, tunnels and rugs are brought in daily to provide novelty. The kitty cottage will be your cat's ultimate vacation! I am very comfortable caring for diabetic and aging or grumpy cats and my calm energy puts them at ease. Everything in the cottage can be moved or modified to suit kitties with mobility issues. Your beloved furry companion(s) will be happy and well cared for if you trust them with me! I visit the cottage several times a day, depending on your cat's social and medical needs. Frequent visits provide kitties with plenty of time to play, give and receive affection, engage with enrichment items, and enjoy some human company. Mealtimes and medications will be followed to the letter. Your cat will also see me in the backyard throughout the day, and I also check in on them via camera. The camera records all movement so I can review every moment of your kitty's day, ensuring they always have fresh food, water, and litterboxes. Camera access is available via the Ring app so you can check in on your kitty throughout their stay. Pet parents will receive professional-quality photos from every visit each day, as well as a 5+ minute video showcasing the highlights of your cat's day. If preferred, I can send clips throughout each day showing the highlights of their vacation in the cottage. Pickup and drop-off are free anywhere within 20 miles of Ina/Thornydale, but please note that I will not assist in finding or catching kitties for pickup. Cat(s) must already be in their carrier or crate at the pickup time scheduled. The standard cancellation policy may apply if your pet is not ready or able to be safely transported to the cottage. The cottage is safely situated behind locked gates on private property, and only accessible for dropoff or pickup with a scheduled appointment. A fee of $10/hour will be charged if pet parents are late for pickup. Circumstances requiring an exception to these stipulations must be discussed prior to booking, otherwise our standard fee and cancellation policies may apply. As for more info about me: I began cat sitting at 6 years old when I offered to feed my next door neighbor's cat lunch and scoop his litter box every weekday in exchange for a jar of dill pickles per week. Since then I have provided routine, kitten and elder care for the feline companions of friends, family and clients. I have 5 cats of my own who live in our main house, and being their Mom is a great source of joy in my life. Each has a unique personality and their own routine with me throughout the day, and I love spoiling them! Booking me will enable you to focus on fun, family or work while away because you have countless Instagram-worthy photos, lengthy high-quality videos and detailed notes from every single drop-in that really highlight the professional level of care your pets are receiving. When you contact me for a booking, I will want to know absolutely anything and everything you can tell me about your pet. Health history, personality, likes, dislikes, quirks, and concerns are especially important! There is no detail too small. There is no other boarding or drop-in sitter experience like this in the greater Tucson area, so book early to ensure your cats' next staycation is absolutely purrfect! If you want your pet to experience social and physical enrichment, genuine TLC, and consistently high quality care then please do book with me as soon as you have your schedule confirmed. From me you can always expect utmost safety and cleanliness, respect of your home and privacy, all requests dutifully followed, enriching playtime, exercise and affection for your pets, multiple high quality videos & pictures sent throughout walk or stay, all dietary and behavioral notes followed to the letter, never a last-minute cancelation or no show, and all health and safety precautions dutifully taken EVERY single time. You will rest easy knowing your pets are in the best hands because I only accept bookings for which I know I can provide the best possible care!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Tortolita
⭐️Cambria is simply the BEST dog sitter.⭐️ This was the first time we had her stay overnight to watch our fur babies and she couldn’t have done a better job. She communicated thoroughly and sent pictures. We went out of town for a wedding and I never worried about our animals being well loved and taken care of. When we got home, their tails were wagging and they were so happy to see us as if to tell us how much fun they had with her. She followed the feeding directions we left and she updated us on their eating and potty breaks. She also left our place exactly as it was when we left which was a huge help when we unpacked. If you are a helicopter dog mom like myself, Cambria brings the calm needed when you can’t be there for you pups. 10/10 would recommend.
Emily is a wonderful sitter! We have used her a few times now and she will absolutely be our go to sitter from now on (after using a few different ones that do not compare to her). Emily is kind, communicative and followed through on what we asked of her. She walked our pup and gave her lots of snuggles. It was obviously that our dog loved her and we are so appreciative of her taking such good care of her while we were gone. ❤️
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! 🐾
Victoria took us last minute as we had a death in the family and she worked out perfect. Our four dogs were comfortable and fully at home with her in our absence. We loved getting a daily photo of our babies. Will definitely recommend her and we will be using her again.
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.

FAQs for House Sitting - Tortolita
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Tortolita is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $72 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 990 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 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 Tortolita. 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.
