“Did a great job dropping in on my kitties! They have a specific feeding routine that requires measuring out raw food with a scale and dosing medication into one of their meals. She handled both tasks with ease and seemed incredibly comfortable with the routine. She even went the extra mile by turning my plant lights on and off! She is very friendly, offers highly competitive pricing, and left me feeling completely confident that my cats were in good hands. I look forward to booking with her again!”
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 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!
“Josie is awesome! She has dropped in and visited our poodle puppy a few times now and has always been so flexible with time and does a thorough job caring for our puppy during the day when we can't stop home over lunch. She always gives us a full report on how the visit went, and our puppy and her seem to get along great. Would highly recommend working with Josie!”
About: I have been a lifelong pet owner, caring for dogs of all different sizes and personalities. I have also looked after friends and family’s pets, always treating them as my own!! I take pride in entertaining and keeping pets happy while their owner is away. As a communication student at the University of Arizona, I have the afternoons, nights, and weekend mornings available. My lifestyle is centered around fitness, wellness, and balance, which allows me to have the energy and flexibility to provide constant love and care for pets. When caring for a pet in a client’s home, I promise to make sure that I understand and follow all instructions carefully and create a safe environment for the pet(s) to thrive in. I also respect that each pet possesses unique needs and personality and abide to giving them that attention they request.
“This was the first time in years I haven't worried about my cat while gone! Tiffany clearly knows cats, and mine took to her instantly. It was such a relief not to have to worry about him while I was gone - thank you!!!”
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 during the day, and able to provide drop-in care and walks after 5pm on weekdays. I have extended availability on Fridays starting at 3pm, and am openly available on Saturday and Sunday. 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.
“Not sure I can say enough positive things about Emma. Each time she cares for our dog we know he is in great hands and he’s smiling like the goofball he is in all of the pics she sends.”
About: I have been taking care of personal and foster dogs since I was 12 and pet sitting throughout that time. I am responsible with details of any instructions left for your pets care. I love meeting new dogs and enjoy, playing with, walking and just spending time around them. I am very calm and gentle with all pets. I am looking to walk and care for pets when I get off work at 3 on weekdays and overnight on weekends to make extra money and stay busy around animals. I am detailed about any instructions left and frequently check for water. I am attentive to animals needs based on their body language in terms of needing to go outside. I am gentle with animals and patient about them initiating play or affection if that is something they want. I enjoy the company of animals a lot and try to stay in same room if they enjoy that company.
“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.”
“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”
“Judy did a fantastic job dog sitting our pups while we were on vacation. She's reliable, mature, and made sure our dogs were safe and well-cared for. We look forward to booking Judy in the future.”
About: I'm a Certified Veterinary Nurse with 4+ years of experience providing professional, attentive care for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. From high-energy pups to senior dogs and those with medical needs, I'm confident handling a wide range of behaviors and care requirements. I prioritize safe, structured walks, positive interaction, and maintaining your dog's normal routine as closely as possible. I'm comfortable with leash training reinforcement, medications administration, and recognizing early signs of stress or illness. Whether your dog needs exercise, companionship, or extra patience and care, I provide dependable, knowledgeable support so you can feel confident they're in good hands while you're away. I currently work full time as a Certified Veterinary Technician, so I am frequently available for early-morning and evening care. This makes me a great fit for before-work, after-work, overnight, and weekend care needs. I'm typically available for morning visits and walks, as well as evening drop-ins, feeding, and extended care. My schedule allows me to provide reliable, routine-based care, especially for pets who do best with consistency. I'm committed to communicating clearly and planning ahead so your pet's needs are always covered with gaps or stress. If you have specific timing needs, feel free to reach out - I do my best to accommodate recurring and flexible schedules whenever possible. I provide all pet care exclusively in the client's home, where pets feel most secure and comfortable in their familiar environment. This helps reduce stress and allows me to maintain their normal routine with minimal disruptions. I follow your instructions closely for feeding, walks, litter box care, enrichment, and medications, while also being attentive to any changes in behavior or health. My goal is to keep your pet calm, safe, and well cared for while you're away.
“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.”
“Fantastic sitter. Enthusiastic, capable, above and beyond. I was on a three week overseas trip and I had never given the keys to my home and care of the cats to someone outside my family before. She made me feel completely at ease with her contacts and numerous photos and videos of them. She’s fantastic and a genuine lover of animals. I can’t recommend her enough and will engage her again anytime I need a sitter!!!!”
“Kailey took great care of my pack. We had an emergency come up mid-trip and they were more than willing to adjust on the fly and add days which really saved us! We will absolutely use them again.”
“Again thank you to Alba for another great critter care!! Alba takes great care of our 'kids' Duncan and Tessa the cats. I have lost track of how many times Alba has taken care of our furry kids. We will be booking two more times in the very near future. Hopefully many more times after that! We consider Alba a very good friend!”
About: Growing up, I had two giant dogs, a great dane and a neapolten mastiff, so dogs have been my thing for as long as I can remember. I've had the opportunity to care for old dogs and young, healthy and sick puppies, and each time has been an a amazing experience for the client and me! I am open, friendly, and just want to have a great relationship with some cute, happy, and friendly pups and to help their owners in any way I can. I currently have a great dane and a chihuahua to call my own, so I am excited to play and take care of any animal that needs it! I am currently working part time as well as balancing college. My mornings are generally open, as well as some afternoons and nights. My job schedule varries as well as my hours, so while unpredictable, can be easily managed around. Depending on the needs for your dog(s) I will do whatever you need me to do! From walking, to dog park energy dumps, playtime, meal time, and snuggles, etc, whatever your pup needs I will provide at the owners discretion and permission.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Tucson
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!
Lillian is the best dog carer ever. She is kind, organized, punctual, has a great sense of humor. Most important though, she has incredibly deep expertise and experience with dogs. She understands them as someone who's trained and shown, and I have taken great comfort in knowing that Mumford is in truly expert hands. Can't recommend her highly enough.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 1,369 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Tucson. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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. 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Tucson. On Rover:
- 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% 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.
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.
