“Eli was FAB …our precious 5 mo old Cavapoo Bluey was cared for as if she were Eli’s own! She was protected from all the dangerous dead fall sharp tipped debris from our mesquite trees which we know takes a lot of special effort cuz everything goes into our puppy’s mouth! We greatly appreciated the shared pics while we were away and the album of videos and pics of her week after our return. The frozen wet kitchen towel rolls with hidden treats to help her teething were very thoughtful and our home was well cared for. We hope to use Eli again!!”
“Kara was perfect. Flexible for our crazy schedule. Reports were delivered just in time to quell my anxiety. The Bear looked VERY comfortable with her and her pup. I will definitely work with Kara again when we’re back in Tucson.”
“Cerise was fantastic!!! From the very beginning at our meet and greet my anxious pup was the most at ease that she’s ever been when meeting someone for the first time which I think says everything about Cerise as a sitter. Cerise was caring, communicative, and flexible with my last minute holiday request!”
“Brianna did a great job watching our house and elderly pup! She had great communication and we appreciated the frequent updates and images. Our house looked just as good as we left it, nothing out of the ordinary. We’ll definitely be using her in the future!”
“Jenna did a great job for us -- house sitting and taking care of our cat, Cosmo. He's super sweet and friendly, but needs to get a pill 2x/day, and pilling a cat is not easy like pilling a dog. She also watered plants, both inside and outside, and they flourished while we were away. She left our home in good order and was very dependable. I highly recommend Jenna.”
About: Responsible grad student with tons of pet care experience! I'm a bunny owner with lots of experience in unusual and sensitive pets, including bunnies, rats, guinea pigs, reptiles, and birds. I've fostered a bunny with E. cuniculi and worked with medical fosters, so I'm good at being sanitary and keeping other pets safe when one is sick! I have also done lots of dogsitting and catsitting for all ages. I'm a runner and would love to run with your dog! I'm good with high-energy leash walkers, and have watched many small puppies, hospice and elderly cats, and energetic dogs. Can't wait to meet your pets! I'm a grad student with a pretty flexible schedule. Book me whenever! Mornings and evenings are especially great, but I can house sit and run/walk dogs any time of day. My bunny at home gets frequent attention and care. I know how hard it is to leave my pet while I'm travelling and be worried about how he's doing. I'll send tons of photos and updates so you know your pet is happy and healthy! I pay lots of attention to the details and will make sure your pet has everything it needs, and keep things clean and happy in their environment!
“Oliver was awesome! We really appreciate him watching our 3 boys. Our boys can be and handful and Oliver made sure that all their needs were met. Can’t wait to book with him again in the future!”
“Kayla was exactly what we needed in a dog sitter—and more than anything, she gave our 4-month-old Cavapoo a great buddy for the afternoon while I handled errands and got the house in order. She’s incredibly kind, has great energy, and is someone you immediately trust. She was easy to coordinate with, showed up right on time, and clearly loves dogs. Our little pup was zooming around the room trying to impress her, which says everything. Would absolutely book her again.”
“Leah was awesome communicated very well and answered back within a reasonable time. Did great with giving my dog his timely medications and sent pictures to reassure me my animals were well taken care of. I will definitely use her again and highly recommend”
“Sami did an outstanding job watching our dogs and house sitting while we went on a weekend trip. She was so patient with one of my dogs who is more shy, but by the end of the stay he felt safe and comfortable around her. She truly went above and beyond to make sure Benny and Franklin had playtime in the backyard, went on walks, and sent photos and updates frequently. She even cleaned up our house when she was left, which was so nice to come home to a clean home after we were away. Overall an amazing sitter, we look forward to having her stay with them again on our future trips!”
“Great communication during the stay. I felt confident that my pets were well cared for and receiving plenty of attention. I came home to a house well in order and happy pets! Would definitely use Esther again!”
“Sara was amazing! Very communicative, and my pets loved her. She was super sweet, very professional, and kept me up to date with pictures of the fluffs all weekend. Will definitely be booking again.”
“Pleasant to work with. Very accommodating with a last minute reservation. Helped keep our travels stress free. Definitely recommend and will be rebooking if needed the services”
“Thank you so much for watching over our babies. I felt super comfortable since we did do a meet and greet before the actual babysitting. She sent pictures every day and we really did feel like they were in great hands. Will definitely book again.❤️🙏🏼”

Lauren was a wonderful house and dog sitter. She kept us fully informed about how Bubba was doing, including a bunch of pics, and gave him plenty of love. She also was very respectful of our home and made us feel very comfortable having her here. We will definitely have her house sit again!

She was protected from all the dangerous dead fall sharp tipped debris from our mesquite trees which we know takes a lot of special effort cuz everything goes into our puppy’s mouth!

Mya did an amazing job of taking care of my dogs while I was out of town. They were well fed, had lots of play time and accepted Mya into our home easily! Its easy to see how well she cares for animals. I would highly reccomend Mya to anyone needing animal care for your four legged friends. I would use her again in the future if the need arises. Thank you Mya!
Esther is a top notch house and pet sitter. She took care of our large, smart and very active dog for a week! She cleaned up after the dog and the house extremely well. Esther is an excellent communicator and will love your pets like they are her own! We are so grateful to have Esther housesit for us! She is a gem!
I know that when I leave my crabby, elderly, mostly blind dog with Charlotte to house sit that she will be treated with kindness and care. She gives me updates on how my dog Betty is doing and notices when she seems a little more lethargic or if she has any new sore spots from her arthritis. My house is also spotless when I get back so I don’t have to worry about messes after a long work trip or late night flight home. I know Betty does well with her, she is always happy and bright eyed when I get home from being away. 100% recommend.
Karlee did an amazing job taking care of my cat! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about making sure he was happy and taken care of. Everything went smoothly while I was away, and I felt comfortable knowing he was in good hands. I would definitely recommend Karlee to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!
First time we were able to get away after moving to Tucson a year ago without taking our dog. We lucked out by finding Kara on Rover! She stayed and took great care of both our home and our slightly spoiled and crazy CC! We appreciated the many updates and photos she sent. We will definitely reach out to her again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Tucson is $41 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 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 November 2026, there are 1,007 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Tucson. 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 Tucson 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 Tucson 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 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!
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 Tucson. On Rover:
- 90% 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.
