About: At 55, I have been a pet owner most of my life. When I first moved to Tucson in 2006, my now wife had a husky and tabby cat which we unfortunately lost years ago. Since then we have been mainly cat owners seeing as our house is quite small but I do miss being around, playing with and walking dogs. I am mature but still a kid at heart, flexible schedule, reliable transportation, indoors mostly but loves to be outside and, above all, a lifetime fan of animals. Cheers! Seeing as I work from home and set my own schedule, I can be there when you need, as you need, if you need, all of that. Breaking away from my laptop and house husband duties to hang out with your dog(s) or cat(s) for an extended amount of time is a far better prospect than running errands or checking the mail. Since February of this year, 2026, we are proud parents of a a brother and sister combo of, lets say, rather enthusiastic kittens. It is a small cottage midtown, a safe and loving environment with far too many toys that they sometimes play with, food and water bowls that are always full, I take time out every afternoon to deep clean the house and I even started an Instagram for them that is usually either a) the duo being in the way when we're trying to watch a movie or me cooking dinner or b) chronicling what we like to call "turbo time", aka the zoomies.
“Tanya is amazing! She does so well with my 2 very different temperament pups. She is extremely responsive, even to my many last minute requests. I have used her many times and plan to keep doing so!”
“Thanks Leticia for taking such great care of my kitties and staying in contact my whole trip. Sent great daily photos and kept me up to speed on how the kitties were behaving. I will for sure look to Leticia first for my next trip!”
“Maggie did a great job with my kitties. Besides feeding them and keeping their litter box clean, she also played with the kitties and spent time with them. They are hoping she will come back again! Thank you Maggie!”
“Asher provided great care for our kitties! Provided wonderful updates on how they were doing while we were out of town, and great pictures of them. Would definitely recommend and rebook. Thanks Asher!!! 🙂👍”
“Alex did a great job with our two little dogs! She was very communicative, sent lots of pictures, and the dogs were happy when we got home. Would definitely book them again in a heartbeat.”
About: I stared dog sitting my freshman year of highschool for my neighbor, but eventually I enjoyed it so much that my friends would ask me to take care of their pets while they were out of town; from dogs, cats, and even hamsters. I always enjoy being around animals and I always find a way to build a good bond with them. I am a student at U of A, all my classes are usually in the morning so I’m free most afternoons. I am free on the weekends and can do any overnight pet sitting on Fridays and Saturdays. So if you’re going out for the weekend feel free to reach out! If the house has a backyard I will let them out every hour to ensure they are using the bathroom, if the house does not have a backyard I will take the dog out for a short walk every 2-3 hours. Of course i’ll take the dogs for a long walk everyday whether the house has a backyard or not. I will follow any schedules such as feeding schedules that the owners give me.
“We had such an amazing experience having Caitlin watch our two dogs while we were away! She was incredibly detail-oriented, attentive, and thoughtful throughout our entire trip. She followed all of our instructions perfectly and went above and beyond to make sure our dogs were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We especially appreciated how frequently she sent updates, photos, and little check-ins. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing exactly how our pups were doing while we were away. It was clear that she genuinely cared about them and treated them like her own. Coming home to two happy, well-cared-for dogs made it obvious how wonderful of a sitter she was. We would absolutely trust her with our dogs again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, caring, communicative, and genuinely invested in their pets. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter!”
“Colby's chill vibe was perfect for my 14 yo Sterm in his last few weeks. She was available short notice, understanding and respectful. Her diligent notes and prompt communication provided peace of mind during a busy and stressful time. I recommend Colby as a kind and reliable sitter for any dog or pup- and would definitely book again! Thank you, Colby”
About: I grew up with dogs and have been caring for them since I was young, so being around them feels natural to me. I’ve helped friends, family, and neighbors with walking, feeding, bathing, and giving their dogs attention and exercise. I’m reliable, patient, and make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I wanted to become a Conservation Biologist at one point of my life instead I went into Public Health! My schedule is flexible, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and sitting, and I make sure they get lots of attention, playtime, and care while you’re away. I'm a PhD student and do a lot of work from home. Live close to campus. I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment in my pet-friendly apartment, with access to a small yard and nearby Himmel Park for regular walks and exercise. I carefully follow all care instructions, monitor pets closely, and ensure they feel secure and comfortable at all times. I'm a traveler and can't have my own pets but a temporary pet companion is always welcome and adored!
About: I have experience taking care of boarding dogs and cats at an animal hospital. I worked for them for a little over a year and have gotten lots of experience with dogs and cats. I used to raise puppies and train them how to sit and have manners for about two years with my parent. I have dog sitting experience and house sitting experience. I also want to note that I am a full time college student, my schedule is below for more information. Just keep scrolling and you will see “schedule” section. Thank you :) I am currently going to school at the UofA full time during the weekdays (my class schedule is listed below keep reading) and would be available most days to come and play with the animals for 30 minutes to an hour in the afternoons and overnight sitting. And on weekends I would be free to play with and walk the animals as needed. Class schedule: Mon 1pm-2pm Tue 9:30am-1pm then 3pm-5pm Wed 9am-2pm then 4pm-5pm Thur 9:30am-4pm Fri 1pm-2pm I do also have a job at the animal shelter for part time. That work schedule will vary but will be no more the 4-6 hours a day. Likely to be on the weekends to avoid conflict with school :) For my personal home, I will not be able to board any pets. Although I am very safe and responsible. My person pet uses a crate just for her safety when I am gone. I am good with crate training as needed for your pets as well. I make sure I clean up after every day and leave the house as clean as I can before you arrive back home to your happy animals!
“Steve is the best. I know it was probably a lot of work for our dog's drop ins but he was an absolute professional who communicated thoroughly each time and provided wonderful loving care for her. We are so glad we have Steve to count on so we can be worry free when we need to be out of town!”
About: I have been a licensed massage therapist for 12 years. My skills have overflowed into treating animals big, small and in between sizes (horses, dogs, cats, rats). I learned to communicate with animals by learning to read their body language and energy. With this skill, I have trained 5 dogs to use the treadmill, 1 cat to use the toilet, and 1 dog to pass his good canine certificate. I enjoy working with animals slightly more than humans...shhh don't tell my human clients :) Rover does not have a setting to reflect an absence of 6-8hours, which is what my standard rate covers. Absences of less that 6 hrs will have an additional continuous care fee dependant on location and duration of booking, since I need to commute to my workplace. I am self employed as a Licensed Massage Therapist and I make my own schedule. I treat animals as well. I can adjust my schedule as needed. During the winter I prioritize my human clients which still allows me to overnight sit. During the summer I have more time to provide play dates and walks. As of now, I only accept overnight sits at the owners home. I have a valid Arizona Level 1 Fingerprint Clearance Card, issued by the AZ Dept. of Public Safety for my work as a Licensed Massage Therapist and for my volunteer work in Hospice. I combine my experience and intuition in observing how the owners respond to their pets and incorporate what the animal is familiar with. I bring my ability to communicate through body language and energy to create a calming presence. I ask clarifying questions. I know owners want the best for their pets!
“Taylor did a great job checking in on our sweet Snawfus. I appreciated her timely communication, availability & kindness. I loved getting some picture updates as well. We will definitely use her services again.”
“Yelena was great with my pup! He needed some love while I was out for a long day and everything went very smoothly. He was quick to warm up to her on our meet-and-greet, and I got plenty of pictures during her quick visit. It was nice not having to worry about my dog while I was out!”
“Cerise is an amazing person ! My cat absolutely felt safe and absolutely loved her company. If you are looking for someone to look after your pets , don't look any further - Cerise is the best !”
About: I’ve had furry friends my entire life, and have been taking care of other people’s pets since I was 13. Pet sitting is not just a hobby for me but passion that started my own childhood home. Having dogs in my own home, and thinking how I’d want a sitter to treat my doggie, I will be sending lots of photos, having clear communication with owner, and always be available to call if the owner needs to contact me on a doggie matter. I can take care of furry friends nearly everyday out of the week, although I am currently in collage and my schedule is Mondays and Tuesdays from 8:15 to 2:45. I do not have any pets at my house, so if your furry friend does not do well with other dogs it’s a perfect fit. If a dog is quite energetic and social we will go on lots of walkies to tire them out so there not missing out!
About: I have pet sit both cats and dogs for many years! I am trusted and a huge animal person. I will treat your pets as if they are my own! I am currently a college student so I have plenty of time to give yours pets lots of love and the attention that they deserve! I will be very respectful of an animals boundaries and will work to gain their trust and build that relationship with them and with you!
About: Growing up exclusively with pitbulls I am very comfortable around the breed. I was able to start pet sitting because neighbors with pitbulls needed a reliable sitter. Word spread and my clientele grew. From small to large breeds, puppies with medical issues to older dogs with hips problems. I have a very relaxed schedule. I'm available 7 days a week from 10 am to 6 pm for drop in visits for potty breaks and playtime. I'm available for long or short term house sitting. In the clients home I respect the boundaries in place for habitation and the schedule for pet care. I tailor the experience to the needs to the dog. Whether they require an hour of exercise everyday or to be lifted into bed every night for snuggles.
“For this trip to Las Vegas, our original pet sitter wasn’t available due to a scheduling conflict, so we decided to try someone new. Alexis caught my attention because of her background as a veterinary technician. Since I reached out to her a little later than I had hoped, I was initially worried about how everything would work out. I’m so glad I found her. She accommodated our schedule perfectly, and even though I left a very detailed set of instructions, she followed every single one of them flawlessly. Knowing our pets were in such caring and capable hands allowed my family to truly relax and enjoy our trip. Thank you, Alexis, for your dedication, professionalism, and genuine love for animals. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for exceptional pet care. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

We couldn't have asked for a better sitter!
Mya did an amazing job with our pups! They’re a little anxious/high strung, but she was very intuitive with them and has a naturally calming energy that helped them be at ease right away. We are always nervous to leave our babies with someone new, but she is so good with them and communicative with us, which really gives us peace of mind. She was also very generous with her time, taking extra care to go out of her way to do a meet and greet and get to know them before we left. I would highly recommend Mya to anyone looking for kind, compassionate care for their pups. Mya is punctual, responsible, and skilled at what she does. It is clearly more than just a job for her, and you can tell she really cares. Thank you Mya!!
She was amazing! Pictures and notes every visit! She let me know everything going on, sent me pictures of not only my pup but of how the house looked, picked up after my clumsy dog and was on top of communication! I absolutely recommend Carmen and will use her again if I’m out of town!
Isabella was a joy to see each morning when she came to give Bentley his shot. She was punctual and kind to our dogs. Bentley can be very wiggly when getting his shot and eye cream but Isabella was patient and persistent in getting the job done.We would highly recommend her.
Victoria is awesome! Her love and care for all critters is very clear, and helping animals seems to be a real calling for her. She is super responsive, very attentive, and she prioritized our dog’s best interests and our instructions. Rosie is going through a lot with recovering from surgery and lots of change at home and I’ve been so worried about how sad she has seemed. After hanging with Victoria, our Rosie was noticeably brighter and happier, which made our day. We plan to book as much as we can with Victoria.
Michaela is a 10 out of 10 and I cannot recommend her enough, especially if you have dogs with big personalities or anxiety. I have two dogs, one is reactive and one is really nervous around new people, so finding someone I trust is not easy. Before we even started regular visits, Michaela was willing to do an extra visit just so my girls 🐶 could get comfortable with her. She did not have to do that, and it made such a huge difference. On top of that, she showed up in the rain, and my dogs absolutely hate the rain. She still got both of them outside to use the bathroom, kept them calm, and stayed the full visit. The report card she left was so detailed and thoughtful it genuinely made my day. She just really does whatever it takes to make them feel safe and comfortable and you can tell she actually cares. If your dogs need a little extra patience, she is your person. Book her!
Catherine is an amazing sitter for my anxious little chihuahua! I am a little particular about her care when I’m away and Catherine follows every little instruction with detail and care. She sends specific updates and pictures to keep me looped in, which I greatly appreciate! I would definitely book with her again!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Tucson stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 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!
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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Tucson with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.

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.
