“Melissa is awesome! She took care of our kitty Casey for 1.5 weeks while we were away and took exceptional care of him. She constantly gave him attention, pets, and played with him and always sent nice photos of him. She went above and beyond helping us with mail, etc. Highly recommend Melissa to anyone with pet-sitting needs!”
About: I grew up with dogs of all kinds as well as cats my whole life and have done dog walking for the past 5 years and dog sitting for the past 4. I’m now a student who misses hanging out and going on long walks with her dog and would love to hang with your fur baby! I’m currently a student at the U of A and take my classes online so I have a super flexible schedule during the days and even on weekends! I can easily crate your dog if needed and am more than happy to send you photos and videos of your pet while on walks or when I check in if you’d like that!
About: I absolutely love dogs! Growing up, I always had dogs around me, whether they were my own or dogs I was taking care of for others. Those are some of my favorite memories! Dogs bring so much love and happiness into a home, and the bond and friendships we create with them are truly something special. They really do make a house feel like a home! 🐾 My routines normally are calm and quiet. Pet care fits perfectly since I am at home during the week and normally weekends just spending time with my family! I am a very attentive person, I am very aware and cautious of the needs of our pets. I overthink any possibility or possible situation in order to keep them safe!
About: I've had dogs most of my life. First was Lance, a Springer Spaniel, when i was 4-yrs old. Add German Shorthair Pointers, Weimeraners, Labs, both English and Anerican Cocker Spaniels, terrier mix breeds and my current pup is a Long Hair Chihuahua. Most of my dogs have been shelter rescues. Also, I foster dogs for local shelters. I am retired and spend most of my time at home working in my new garden reading, or crafting. When we have dog guests, our time is devoted primarily to our visitors. Human away time rarely exceeds 4-hrs per day. I have a large fenced yard to run and play in whenever they want Chewy, the Chihuahua, is a friendly companion. Indoors is a dog-friendly/dog priority 3-bdrm home. Plenty of space if a visitor needs some quiet privacy or a mim with pups wants separation. Daily walks add to our exercise regime. Balls, frisbees and dogs are shared. Treats abound!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs from all ages since I was 14! I love to find new trails, parks, and of course local coffee shops that give out the best pup cups. I will treat your pet like they are my own. I’m currently working part time so I will have plenty of time to care for your pets. The days I work during the week are variable but I also can request to not work days that you’d want your pet with me if given enough notice. I can accept your pets on the weekend as well. I have plenty of space for your dog in my house. I do have a large crate if needed. It’s currently just me and my husband who live here. I don’t have any other pets at the moment. I can easily take your dog(s) on walks in the neighborhood or drive to a nearby park. We have a nice fenced backyard space so your pets can roam outside as well.
“She was great! Dropped in to check on my dog last minute while i was out of town for the day, walked him, and took some of the cutest photos he’s had in years!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals my whole life as I come from a long line of farriers/blacksmiths. I first started as a dog sitter when I was 15 for my neighbors when they went on vacation for a couple weeks in the summer. Over the years, I have developed training plans for the pets I work with and when meeting with a new dog, I build a unique exercise plan for their age and energy level to ensure they return home satisfied with our time together. I love meeting new families and having the opportunity to assist with pet care so you are able to focus on other aspects of life. Thank you for taking the time to checkout my page! **I do not offer in-home overnight care for any service as in I will not sleep in your home.** Because I am taking online classes, I am available to work on a flexible schedule and am willing to provide pet services with short notice. I prefer to sleep at home, even for housesitting visits. Most importantly, I listen to the pet owner and their instructions. For walks on our hot days, I bring a portable water bowl and water to help keep your pet cool. I am also familiar with how to help improve simple commands and leash etiquette while going on walks. I have experience with reactive, anxious, and special needs dogs and make sure to spend time building a relationship with those dogs to ensure they know they’re protected.
“Oliver was calm and organized which made all the difference during Sterm's last few days. Really appreciated his communicative style on top of being available short notice! Olive listened and followwd up by asking good questions to ensure Sterm received the best possible care. I highly recommend Oliver and would book again!”
“Tiffany was so helpful and thoughtful in watching my cats. She followed the directions I left to a T, gave me detailed information on how they were doing, and went out of her way to make them comfortable while I was out of town. I will absolutely be booking Tiffany’s services again.”
About: Hello! I am a pet lover who grew up with Boston terriers for 20+ years. I also grew up working with dogs (Border Collies) on ranches, working side by side on various tasks. Because of my experience and comfort with dogs, I have been dog-sitting for friends and family my whole life. I have some experience caring for cats, including my sisters' and friends' cats (5+ years). I am very active and can exercise or entertain your pet with play or runs. I have rarely met a dog I couldn't build trust with. I am working a full-time position at the University of Arizona. I am free from 5 a.m. to 8 a.m., 12 p.m. to 1 p.m., and 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. on weekdays. I have full availability on weekends. I ensure to follow all the rules the pet owner has established. I will use commands and language the dog is familiar with to avoid confusion. I make sure the pets are exercised 2-3 times a day. Cleaned and brushed if needed. I am mindful of water intake and make sure that all pets are kept on their usual schedule.
“Gavin went above and beyond for us and our cat, Joey. I would absolutely recommend him for your fuzzy companions. He is not only kind with a love for animals but also a great communicator and punctual. 🐱♥️”
About: I grew up with dogs and had cats as pets as an adult. I love both dogs and cats (and all animals) but have the most experience with these two. I can do dog walks, grooming for both dogs and cats, drop ins for feeding, bathroom and any other needs, overnight stays and longer term stays if needed! Please note: I'm happy to travel for meet & greets and bookings, but for locations more than 15 miles from me will include a travel fee due to distance and fuel costs. Please message prior to booking if you are outside this range. Thanks for understanding - it helps me keep providing reliable care for clients. Same-day requests may also incur an additional fee depending on availability. *Lastly* if you see any dates on my calendar that looked blocked off (especially if they're highlighted in yellow) you can still reach out to see if you're close enough for me to do drop in visits! Dates highlighted in yellow just mean I have another booking but I'm still able to fit in drop in visits! 😊 I work remotely so I'm more flexible, esp if I'm doing any daytime or overnight stays. I work 7 am-4 pm M-F and can easily step away from my job as needed. I'm gentle, safe, reliable, intuitive and quick to pick up on how animals are feeling. I also take into consideration any special needs animals may have.
About: I’ve dogsat for friends and family for 6+ years and have used Trusted Housesitters and local groups to dog sit, cat sit, and house sit, anywhere from a few days to 3 months at a time. I’ve also fostered dogs long term. I would love to have my own pet but can’t with my current lifestyle, so I’d love to hang out with your animals :) I live in Tucson and work from home so I am able to spend lots of time with your pets during the day. I am an active person so if your pet loves walks, parks, camping, or adventures, even better! Animals are welcome in my house with fenced yard, but I’m also happy to stay at your house and take care of the house and any plants if needed.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Tucson
Adriane was fantastic as usual! She was able to check on our pup while we celebrated a big event. I wasn’t worried about Clove at all because I knew she was in such great hands. Adriane was able to provide love and comfort to Clove while we were away and from the photos she sent you can tell Clove enjoyed herself. Would easily book Adriane again.
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Tucson is $18 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $29 per visit. 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 November 2026, there are 1,373 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Tucson. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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. 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.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Tucson. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
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.
