“I never once felt worried while Ashton was in Michelle’s care. From the very beginning, she made me feel completely comfortable and reassured. It was clear how much Ashton was genuinely cared for - my dog was happy, well-loved, and treated like their own. I’m so grateful to have found someone I can truly trust and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a caring, reliable puppy babysitter.”
“Christie & Daniel took good care of my pet. They sent pictures and a video on a daily basis. They informed me before my first visit that they had large dogs under their care. I was apprehensive because my dog is a small, solitary creature, but I moved forward with hiring the couple and I did not regret my decision. Christie & Daniel did well in caring for my pet.”
“This was my first time having ANYONE watch Coco for longer than a couple of hours. From the first message, to the drop off, to the pick up, Lauren made the entire process painless. She was sooo sweet and truly took care of my baby like she was one of her own. I received lots of updates and pictures, which eased my mind. This was the first time hving Lauren watch Coco, but it wont be the last. Thank you Lauren !”
“Beau recently stayed with Lara and had a great time! It was my first time leaving him since I adopted him in December, so I was really nervous about how he’d be, but Lara sent me tons of pictures and videos of him playing with her pups, hanging out with the family, and even spending time with the horses. He lived his best Urban Farm Dog Life while at her house, and I’ve already rebooked for an upcoming business trip. Definitely would recommend, especially if you have a high energy pup like mine.”
“Richard and Jeanette were fantastic sitters for our 12 year old dog. She felt right at home. We loved the atmosphere of the home. They have made their home into a very welcoming place for our pets. Their backyard is well protected and very shady, our dog loved it there. We will use them again, no problem.”
“Andreah is GREAT. She took care of my Mini Schnauzer Sosa for 4 nights. Very accommodating, messages back quickly, gave us updates throughout his stay and our Sosa had a great time. Highly recommend!!!”
“Sheila is amazing! My dogs loved their stay. From the moment they arrived they were very comfortable, and they usually take some time to warm up to people. I would not take them anywhere else!”
“As always, Kimberly was WONDERFUL with our Midget. She was super helpful and creative when getting Midget to take her medicine during this most recent stay. We knew the entire time we were gone what great care Midget received, and it was so reassuring to know. Highly recommend Kimberly!!!”
“Once again Elizabeth took excellent care of our three dogs. Her home is ideal both inside and outside and I can tell that our dogs love staying with her. I received photos and updates during their stay, which allowed me to have peace of mind while traveling. Elizabeth and her family are the best.”
“Kat kept my 2 year old Cavapoo for a week. She sent me pictures daily, has great communication. My dog loves attention and they seemed to give him plenty of that. He had the time of his life playing with her dogs. I would highly recommend her for your boarding needs.”
“An amazing sitter that’s really takes the time to learn and love your dog. She observes and teaches you things that even you may miss about your dog. Gives updates with many detail to put you at ease while away from your pup and she really makes your dog feel like family. Highly Recommend”
“Erica is absolutely the best. Rickey felt right at home and was able to socialize and go on walks and get plenty of love. We could not be happier with her stay and can’t wait to have Erica watch her again.”
“Jess and her family took great care of Kobe while we were away! He loved playing with her dog and kids and she kept us updated throughout his stay. We will definitely use Jess again in the future!”
“Wow! What great fortune to find Seth, Connie and their daughters to take care of our loveable but rather problematic Stella. They did a fantastic job and we are very grateful to them. From the initial phone call when they took the time to give us a thorough orientation, to all the ongoing communication up to the sitting, to the welcome they gave Stellla, and especially to the patience and understanding they had with her foibles—they were great!! Also fun to get regular ipdates and pictures while Stella was with them. We definitely look forward to using them in the future!”
“Sydny and Atiana took amazing care of our dog! Sent lots of pictures and she looked happy in every photo. We were gone for a week and did not have any worries while away from her. We will continue to book with them for future needs.”
“Maisie’s 2nd stay with Ron was great! She was happy and comfortable when I dropped her off and when I picked her up. Ron sends great pictures and movies. We are so happy to have Ron, Lily and Canoli.”
“Gail was amazing with my elderly diabetic cat. She was able to customize a private little space for my senior kitty to be safe and secure. She also sent periodic pictures and updates to put my mind at ease!”

“Christopher was great with my two cats and they clearly loved him too. I’m really grateful to have someone I can trust to take care of my animals while I’m away. Would absolutely book again!”
“Sky was absolutely amazing with my 3 cats. They loved her! She sent pictures and updates at every visit and always arrived in a timely manner for my kitties. Communication was amazing and I will definitely be rebooking Sky in the future.”

“Jess did a great job watching my two cats! She kept good communication with me and went above and beyond cleaning ants that showed up in my bathroom. I really appreciated how smoothly everything went while I was away on a busy trip!”
“First time using rover and let me tell you Jaycee was AMAZING we had left for 9 days and honestly was pretty worried at first but days came and went and every time Jaycee went to check on my 2 cats it went very well, I went out of country and lost service and my villa lost WiFi but 3 day later when I got it back I checked on my cats and they were sad but healthy and content. Jaycee even watered my fiancés plant that has nothing to do with cats. If you are second guessing and looking at reviews like I did just message her and do a meet and greet I doubt you will be disappointed, 100% recommend. we will rebook Jaycee in the future for any trips.”
“Vanessa is the best cat sitter EVER!! She takes such good care of our cat when we are out of town. She spends time with him on each visit and communicates with us without fail. Highly recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter.”
“Thank you so much Danielle for being the best kitty caretaker. It’s is such a blessing to know they are in safe hands and that Leo has a friend to look forward to playing with every day! We appreciate you!”
“Rachael was very reliable and tried very hard to get Moria my cat to come out of hiding and succeeded. Moria is very shy with néw people and Rachael was very patient with her. Thank you Rachael. Nancy & Moria😻”
“Ginger T and Bryan O did a terrific job doing drop-on visits for our cat, George! Because of them, we were able to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing our baby boy was in good hands! Tom & Cece”
“Andreah was excellent at communicating throughout our trip. She was punctual and reliable. Both our cat and dog did great while we were gone. Hope to have her again in the future.”
“Kiersten was an amazing rover! My husband and I went out of the country for two weeks and Kiersten sent us a ton of thorough write ups, pictures, and videos which made being away a little less hard. She was very responsive and easy to work with. I would highly recommend booking her for your future needs!”
“I’ve had a couple of bad experiences using Rover in the past with boarding in someone else’s home so I decided to give drop in visits a try. Robert was very good at communicating with us and made sure our dog was well cared for during the few days we were gone. He was very trustworthy and I would seek him out in the future.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Cortaro
“Christie and Daniel treated our anxious Milo so well! Through out the day I received pictures and updates for our little guy. I would highly recommend their care to any one of our doggy loving friends! :)”
“Milo had a fantastic day with Milo! Lauren sent pics and kept us updated throughout the stay. I was running late for pickup and she was able to flex the end time for me a bit that was so helpful. Highly recommended.”
“Amber absolutely loves going over to have a fun day with her besties at Adria’s house! Amber is a very shy dog, so I know she truly loves it there because every time I drop her off, she runs out of my car, her tail is wagging like crazy, and she is always so happy and excited to willingly run right into the house. That alone gives me so much peace of mind knowing she’s somewhere she feels comfortable and safe. Adria is such a wonderful dog lover and is incredibly reliable, caring, and trustworthy. I always feel completely comfortable leaving Amber with her while I’m at work because I know she’s getting so much love, attention, and care. I couldn’t recommend Adria enough; she is truly amazing. 100/10! 🐾❤️”
“Maple had a great time staying with Carol! Carol is very experienced taking care of dogs and has an excellent setup in her backyard where she has separate fenced in areas where she can either let your dog play with her two cute French bulldogs, or give them time alone. She also shared lots of great pictures during Maple's stay! We would absolutely recommend Carol.”
“Felt very safe leaving Zarina with her. She was very communicative and patient with me. As an out of towner my guesses of how long everything would take was a bit off. lol traffic! I will use her again!”
“Yaneli did a marvelous job keeping our Athena active & happy. Athena enjoyed playing with Yaneli’s dog & being out for an extensive hike. Yaneli really went above & beyond in making sure Athena was exercised & entertained!!!!”
“Our dog loves staying at Lara's. She is great with all the dogs that visit, and the "open house" set-up, with a variety of exercise and play options, and checking out the horses and pony is a bonus! Lara is flexible and communicates well about scheduling. We live the photos and videos she sends to reassure us that our pup who sometimes has separation anxiety is doing well. Highly recommend Lara for doggie daycare or overnight boarding.”

“Our little Coco had a GREAT day with Brynna. We had a last minute need for daycare and she was so nice to do a quick meet and greet the day before. Brynna is amazing with communication and response time. You can immediately tell that she LOVES all pups. Ours is just 11 months old and very busy and active and Brynna dove in and enjoyed it all. Her home is perfect inside and out for the pups and she really took the time to make it special for our Coco. We will definitely use her again. Thank you Brynna”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was a kid. I finally adopted my own 13 years ago as puppies and rescued 2 in 2021. They are all senior dogs now with special needs- diet and medical. My one is diabetic and requires 2 injections a day. They all take medication and follow a schedule. I work from home which allows me to care for my four dogs. I have the ability to help others at this time and would love to make sure their pets are well cared for. I know how challenging it was to find care for our boys when I didn’t work from home. I care for someone’s pet as they ask me too and as I do my own. No feeding food they aren’t allowed (treats that aren’t authorized), hand feeding if necessary, plenty of potty breaks in the backyard to run (my dogs prance) and roll in the grass. I have beds and blankets for them to choose from and cuddle time on the sofa too.
About: I ran a dog boarding and daycare business out of my own home in Ohio for 2 years prior to moving to Arizona. My family ALWAYS uses me for their pet needs, whether that’s in their home or in mine! Dogs are family, and I make sure to treat them that way! I work from home so I can give your pet all the love and care it deserves! My life already revolves around my dog, so why not take care of other people's pets? I have a fenced in yard (with a pool). I can crate your dog if needed, but welcome to roam free as long as they don’t chew and are house trained.
“We couldn't have found a better place for our dog to stay while we were in Tucson. Daisy doesn't usually like strangers or other dogs, but Beth and her pack of little dogs were so sweet and patient with her. I would definitely recommend Beth to anyone.”
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!
“Stacie and her family were sweet, inviting, and so caring to my puppy! Based on her demeanor, I knew my dog was in good hands from the minute we met her. Her experience with dogs shows. l highly recommend her care.”

“Ander was communicative before and after the visit. There was a mishap with the Rover app and recording photos/the Rover card but Ander explained this was his first time doing a walk vs boarding. I would ask Ander to walk my dog in the future!”
“Danika is a great communicator. Appreciated the text messages and pictures of the dogs. She was very considerate of the dogs in terms of the temperature outside for walks. Made adjustments to walking depending on the weather. Showed concern for our dogs' well-being and safety.”
“Jess has been a rockstar! I trust her to come out and give River a walk anytime. He’s always worn out and happy afterwards. She takes the time to make sure his water bowl is full after each walk too. Will definitely continue to book with Jess!”
“Jaycee has a great rapport with my reactive German Shepherd Dash. She dropped in while I was on vacation and it worked out well so she’s going to drop in and walk him during my upcoming vacation. Dash is particular about strangers but he is quite comfortable around Jaycee.”
About: I’ve had a very strong connection with dogs. I love being around dogs and will always have a connection to them. I love playing with them and lots of cuddles. I've always had dogs in my life from puppies to senior. I enjoy their company. I'm a housewife which gives me enough time to play with your pup and give the time they need. I'm available Sunday through Saturday. Also spend time with your cat or cats. For my client's I would take the pup outside to go potty and play with them then go inside to get their food and water ready for them. Also would take an early morning walk if needed. Plus play with them at the client's home. I'd clean litter boxes make sure your furry cat is fed & plenty of water.
About: Growing up in Arizona I was always around animals. Dogs,cats,horses, even ducks and other farm animals. I am absolutely in love with connecting with dogs. They bring me so much joy and I love seeing there tails wag :) I am extremely patient and love staying active and can help you with whatever you need.

I am a student and veteran in the reserves. I am available anytime I am not in class during the week. My work schedule is flexible. I have dog sat for many of my friends and family members since I was younger. I have also recently been helping my neighbors with their dog since they have been traveling a lot. Cant wait to meet you and make a new furry friend!:)
“Can’t recommend Rachael enough! Zuko always comes back well-exercised and happy after each walk with Rachael. I also love that she provides updates and photos, which made me feel reassured while I’m away. I just really appreciate the care she provides to Zuko! I will definitely be booking Rachael again in the future.”
“Alexis was great with our dog Sammy Who looked forward enthusiastically to her walks with him. Would definitely ask for her help again. Very reliable and dependable person who loves pets.”
About: I’m a huge animal lover and proud pet parent to a full house of my own — 4 dogs and 2 cats! My dogs range from small to medium/large, so I’m comfortable caring for pets of different sizes, personalities, energy levels, and needs. Caring for animals is something I genuinely love, and I take a lot of pride in everything I do. I’m a trustworthy, reliable, honest, and attentive person, and when I’m caring for your pets, I treat them with the same love, patience, and respect I give my own. I offer dog walking and drop-in visits, and I’m happy to help with whatever your furry family member needs. Whether that means a good walk, fresh food and water, playtime, potty breaks, medication reminders, extra attention, or simply some companionship while you’re away — no task is too small or too large. I know firsthand how difficult it can be to find someone you truly trust with your pets. They’re not “just animals” — they’re family, and leaving them in someone else’s care can be stressful. That’s a big part of why I wanted to join Rover: I want to give other pet parents the same peace of mind I look for when someone cares for my own animals. My goal is simple: when you’re away, I want your pets to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for — and I want you to feel confident knowing they’re in good hands. I’ll treat your pets like I treat mine: with patience, affection, attention, and lots of love. 🐶🐱❤️ One of the biggest perks of having a work-from-home job with a highly flexible schedule is that I can make plenty of time for your furry family members! 🐶🐱💻 I have the flexibility to work around your pet’s routine rather than the other way around. Whether your pup needs a midday walk, your kitty needs a drop-in while you’re away, or your pets just need a little extra love and attention during the day, I’m happy to help whenever I can. I also understand firsthand how hard — and expensive — it can be to find reliable pet care. That’s actually one of the reasons I wanted to join Rover. For me, this isn’t just about making extra money. I genuinely love animals, and I love being able to help other pet parents have one less thing to worry about. Because of that, I’ve intentionally kept my rates a little more affordable than some sitters. I want great pet care to feel accessible, while still giving your pets the love, attention, and reliability they deserve. So while you’re busy, traveling, working, or just need an extra set of hands, I’m happy to be your pet’s person! 🐾❤️ Flexible schedule. Reliable care. Lots of love. And probably way too many pictures of your pets sent to you. When it comes to your pets, safety is always my number one priority. ❤️🐾 I know how much trust it takes to let someone else care for your animals, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. I’m attentive to their surroundings, behavior, routines, and individual needs, and I always take the extra moment to make sure they’re safe and comfortable. Before caring for your pet, I want to understand the important details — their personality, routines, feeding instructions, medications if needed, things they may be nervous around, and anything else that helps me provide the best possible care. During walks and drop-ins, I stay present and attentive rather than treating the visit like something to quickly check off my list. I keep an eye out for potential hazards, make sure doors and gates are secure, follow leash and handling instructions, and never take unnecessary chances with your pet's safety. I also believe that every pet deserves individual care. Some pets need lots of exercise and play, while others need a slower pace, extra patience, or simply someone to sit with them and make them feel secure. I pay attention to those little details because they matter. My goal is for you to have complete peace of mind knowing that while your pets are in my care, they are receiving my full attention, patience, love, and care. Because at the end of the day, I’m not just caring for someone’s pet — I’m caring for someone’s family.
“Ariel came by to walk my big boy, Wilbur (~100 lb Presa Canario). She was great! Came by to meet him before and took down lots of notes. He felt comfortable around her and I didn’t have a single concern after the trial visit! Her rates are unmatched and she provides quality care. 10/10 recommend!”

About: As someone who works from home, your pup will receive constant love, attention, and supervision throughout the day. Aside from the occasional quick errand or appointment, your dog will rarely ever be left alone. I’ve been caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities for over 19 years. From energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and TLC. I have a friendly dog of my own who loves having company, so your pup will have both human attention and a built-in playmate if they enjoy being around other dogs. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, loved, and right at home during their stay. Your dog will have access to a large, fully fenced, secure outdoor area where they can safely play, explore, and get plenty of exercise. I can also accommodate crate-trained dogs if needed and will always follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I truly treat every dog like family and understand how important it is to know your pet is in caring, reliable hands while you’re away. Please let me know if your pup has ever been boarded. This is important as I’d love to make them as comfortable as I can. It is important that your pup gets along with others as I do have a dog of my own and also care for other pups as well!
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.
About: I have previous work experience at an animal hospital where I was just a receptionist but gained quite a bit of knowledge there as well. This included me taking dogs on walks and giving the dogs and cats love and attention when they were with us. I have been petting sitting here and there for the past 8 years. Depending on the day I am available for a morning and/or evening check in or walk. Monday abc Wednesday I usually expect to be available all day. I currently am not accepting any pets in my home due to such a small space and two other animals. If I stay in your home I will be there around the clock. I enjoy taking dogs for walk and playtime so I would ensure this is done everyday.
About: I have 11 yrs of experience taking care of my own dogs and know that they are much more than pets, they're family! So I understand the importance of leaving them in the hands of not just anyone, but someone who's trustworthy, responsible, reliable and caring. Not only do I have these attributes but I pay attention to detail and will meet your furry friend where they're at. If they're shy and need time to warm up and feel safe, I can do that. If they're ready to play and want lots of petting and belly rubs, I can do that too! My priorities will always be safety, making sure that I attend to their needs and your specifications! I have a flexible work schedule and love to stay busy. Playing with or taking care of animals is my ideal way to spend my extra time! I'm able to play with, feed, walk and care for your dog/cat in the way that works best for them! I'm detail oriented and will be sure to provide the care that they need.

“This was my first time having ANYONE watch Coco for longer than a couple of hours. From the first message, to the drop off, to the pick up, Lauren made the entire process painless. She was sooo sweet and truly took care of my baby like she was one of her own. I received lots of updates and pictures, which eased my mind. This was the first time hving Lauren watch Coco, but it wont be the last. Thank you Lauren !”
“Beau recently stayed with Lara and had a great time! It was my first time leaving him since I adopted him in December, so I was really nervous about how he’d be, but Lara sent me tons of pictures and videos of him playing with her pups, hanging out with the family, and even spending time with the horses. He lived his best Urban Farm Dog Life while at her house, and I’ve already rebooked for an upcoming business trip. Definitely would recommend, especially if you have a high energy pup like mine.”
“Andreah is GREAT. She took care of my Mini Schnauzer Sosa for 4 nights. Very accommodating, messages back quickly, gave us updates throughout his stay and our Sosa had a great time. Highly recommend!!!”
“Once again Elizabeth took excellent care of our three dogs. Her home is ideal both inside and outside and I can tell that our dogs love staying with her. I received photos and updates during their stay, which allowed me to have peace of mind while traveling. Elizabeth and her family are the best.”
“An amazing sitter that’s really takes the time to learn and love your dog. She observes and teaches you things that even you may miss about your dog. Gives updates with many detail to put you at ease while away from your pup and she really makes your dog feel like family. Highly Recommend”
“Wow! What great fortune to find Seth, Connie and their daughters to take care of our loveable but rather problematic Stella. They did a fantastic job and we are very grateful to them. From the initial phone call when they took the time to give us a thorough orientation, to all the ongoing communication up to the sitting, to the welcome they gave Stellla, and especially to the patience and understanding they had with her foibles—they were great!! Also fun to get regular ipdates and pictures while Stella was with them. We definitely look forward to using them in the future!”
“Sydny and Atiana took amazing care of our dog! Sent lots of pictures and she looked happy in every photo. We were gone for a week and did not have any worries while away from her. We will continue to book with them for future needs.”
“Gail was amazing with my elderly diabetic cat. She was able to customize a private little space for my senior kitty to be safe and secure. She also sent periodic pictures and updates to put my mind at ease!”
“Cathleen was wonderful to our senior dog, Kira. She gave special attention to her unique needs and kept us updated throughout. Thanks for a great experience watching our girl.”
“Yaneli is simply the best dog sitter in the NW Tucson area!! Thank you for taking such good care of our Bella girl!! We will definitely be using Yaneli again in the future!”
“Denise and Rod were wonderful hosts to our goldendoodle, Lexi. They have two lovely dogs of their own and it was clear that they are real dog lovers. They have a nice house with a big fenced in back yard for the dogs to play. Lexi had a great time and we will most definitely leave her with Denise and Rod again.”
“Thank you for taking such great care of Winston for over two weeks! I wouldn’t trust anyone else. Winston had the best time and was so loved! I highly recommend Kyle and will continue to come back. Thanks again!”
“She was so fantastic and Korra seemed to have a great time while I was gone! ? she responded very fast when I asked about Korra and when I booked her for the stay. Highly recommend!”
“Entrusting my dog Oatmeal to Vicky overnight was a fantastic decision. Her regular updates, filled with delightful photos videos and kind words, reassured me immensely during my absence. Oatmeal clearly enjoyed every moment. I wholeheartedly recommend Vicky to any parent for her genuine care and exceptional communication.”
“10 out of 10I recommend! This was the first time of us leaving our boy and I felt at ease throughout the whole time. With the frequent updates showing me that my boy was still as happy and active as he is at home...it warmed my heart. Then even at pick up, I could tell my boy was taken care of and had a great time! Alondra and her family are amazing!”
