About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give every pet. I treat each animal as if they were my own, taking the time to understand their personality, routine, and individual needs. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply a calm companion, I tailor my care to help them feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I am working part time currently, as well as door-dashing so pet care fits perfect in my schedule. I have penalty of time to spend and care for your pets. My home is and pretty big. Animals are allowed on furniture and beds. I have a yard as well so they can go outside. We have plenty of space for them
About: I have always been a pet owner, volunteered at no-kill shelters for many years, and have worked with many sick AND healthy dogs over my years as a veterinary assistant! I am a hard-worker in and out of school and will ensure that you feel that your pets are in the best hands! I am no stranger to animal care and I will use my three years of experience to ensure that you receive the best care possible! I am currently a Veterinary Science major studying at the U of A! I try to be as up front about my class schedules as I can as being a student is a huge part of who I am! I want to have the most experience possible with a variety of companion animals as I work towards my goal of becoming a veterinarian. Before coming to the UA, I had a full time job at an amazing clinic where I learned so much more in depth animal care! I am all about pet safety and I am a very hypervigilant pet sitter/walker as I only want what is best for my clients! I am able to watch pups outside if predators are a concern or obstacles like a swimming pool. Happy clients and pets are of utmost importance and I provide daily pictures/videos of pets to ensure that owners feel at ease! I also require meet and greets before bookings because I love to get to know you and your pet a little more and ensure that we are a good fit!
“One of my rats unfortunately passed while I was away but Alex was quick to inform me and handled everything as I asked. Despite the tragedy, my remaining two rats and cat were doing well when I returned, and I received thorough reports and pictures throughout my trip that made me feel assured that all of my pets are being well cared for. Will definitely have Alex take care of my pets again!”
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.
“Absolutely AMAZING! First time ever using Rover and I am completely satisfied. Loved knowing how my fur babies were doing! Definitely would recommend Maddison She is an AMAZING communicator and went up and beyond. I definitely will be using this service again when I need it!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs all my life and have experience with different sizes, personalities, and needs. I’ve cared for a range of high energy to low energy and am happy to meet all of their needs. I am a recent graduate from the university and have not yet secured a job, so I will have plenty of time to spend with your pet! I live in an apartment complex with one dog of my own (who loves other dogs). I am home most of the time so I can accommodate any number of needs for your pet easily!
About: I've taken care of dogs since my family brought home our first Boxer when I was 13. I have extensive experience caring for dogs of varying size and age. I am able to provide bathing and brushing, manage specialized diets, and medication delivery. I have experience with dogs experiencing anxiety and with allergies, and have managed care for dogs recovering from accidents or serious illness. I’m currently working part-time, and have pretty open weekend availability for spending meaningful time with your pups and kitties! I typically work between 10-4/5pm M-F, and enjoy early morning and evening walks and love to play and socialize with the cats and dogs I meet, as well as my own. I don't currently offer services from my own home, however I aim to make the most of the time I have with each pet in my care. I try to maintain the routine of each pet as much as possible when their owner is away, and to provide an enriching environment attuned to the needs of each pet. I love to play with each animal and provide walks as needed, in addition to maintaining a clean and safe environment. I aim to provide structure and adhere to the expectations of each pet owner in addressing the dietary, cleanliness, and activity of each individual animal. Food containers, toys, yards, litterboxes, puppy pads, crates, and water sources are maintained and cleaned as needed to ensure the wellbeing and health of pets, as I would do for my own dog and cats.
About: I’ve taken care of everything from dogs to reptiles so I can confidently say that I am very experienced and that your baby is safe with me! I’m currently working part time, and am taking summer classes online, so spending time with your pet will not be an issue. I’m a dedicated hard worker and am here to make your life easier! I will always ask about emergency plans and last resort solutions so you don’t have to stress about trying to remember every little detail. I have a form for my pet parents to fill out that I keep with me while taking care of your baby :)
“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!”
“Josie has been the sweetest find since moving to Tucson! It means so much to find someone that I can trust to watch my dog while I’m at work. It really brings so much peace of mind! My dog can be a little nervous and shy, and Josie was always patient with her and continued to give me updates on how well Pig has warmed up to her! This to me shows how patient she is and how much she actually cares! I cannot recommend Josie enough for anyone in the Tucson area!”
“Yelena took great care of my cat and he had a great time from the pictures I received! She helped out with my frogs and fish even though they weren't originally included in the sitting. I will definitely try to book her again in the future :)”
About: I own my own cat sanctuary, I feed an army of stray cats in my backyard. I have fostered newborn kittens. I was also a dog bather for a little over a year. I have full flexibility and availability in my schedule, I am currently unemployed looking to make this my full time job. I can come over at any time of the day. In a clients house I will feed the animal and let them go outside/walk them. Make sure your pet didn’t make any accidents in the house and clean up any mess that is made. I will also make sure your cuddly friend gets lots of attention and love.
About: I have house-sat and watched friends' and family's pets throughout all of high school. I now have a pet of my own, she is a 9-month-old kitten named Akira! I have lots of experience caring for dogs and cats and meeting the owners' needs. I am currently in transition and searching for a summer job while on a break from school! My flexibility is very open now. Once I start a job, I am willing to work with clients and be as flexible as I can to care for their pets! I will provide services in dog walking and both cat and dog sitting, preferably at a client's home! My current apartment does not provide a yard, unfortunately.
About: I’ve been watching and caring for pets since I was little and have always had a love for animals. I’ve been taking care of neighbors and friends pets for years without any issues. I also have two fur babies of my own who receive plenty of walks, attention, and affection, and I would love the opportunity to care for your pets as well. I’m currently enrolled at the University of Arizona studying medicine, and I’ve taken several animal related classes simply because of my passion for animals. I’m a very patient, reliable, and attentive person who will treat your pet with the same care and love as my own. I’m currently a student at the University of Arizona studying medicine and im very free in the afternoons and nights to care for pets. And my schedule is free for the weekends to care for animals. I am very attentive and patient when it comes to caring for animals. I try to be observant to my dogs behaviors to see if soemthing is off and I try to keep a decently consistent schedule with feeding and potty breaks. I also make sure they have enough water especially in Arizona heat.
About: I have cared for dogs and cats all of my childhood. I also have experience with many types animal personalities and the needs that come with them! I have a very flexible schedule so I can provide all the attention that your animal may need! With communication I can work with what schedule you have in mind for your animals care! I do have a backyard and a playful 5 year old dog who is energetic and loves to play with others dogs. He also loves his sun naps.
“Marikate was awesome! Extremely friendly and loved our kitty well. We had a change in travel plans and she was very flexible and helpful to make sure our pet was well taken care of. Will definitely use her again”
“Emily was incredible. She came over before my trip to meet my two cats and get a lay of the land. She explained the entire process and answered every question I had (plus some!). She was great with them and helped keep my house in tip-top shape while I was out of town. I would highly recommend her.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Tucson
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 .

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.

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.
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.
