Personalized care for your dog or cat - San Manuel
Highly-rated overnight sitters - San Manuel
“This was my first time using Rover and my first experience having my dog boarded by someone other than a friend/family member and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I love that Denise only accepts one pup at a time. I got messages, video, and picture updates daily. I didn’t stress one bit with my pup’s stay which was SUCH a relief. I would definitely book with Denise again and I would recommend her to anyone looking to rest assured that their dog is in good hands!”
“They did an amazing job! They’re such a sweet family. Trevor has glaucoma and has a very specific medication application that needs to be done twice a day which made me nervous about not taking him with me to my vacation. However, when I got back his eyes looked so much better than before! So, I knew they took care of him well. They updated me daily with pictures and he looked so happy during his stay. Will be booking again.”
“As always, wonderful communication and photo updates throughout the stay. My pup always comes home happy and healthy from all the snuggles and attention he gets from staying with Seth and Connie.”
“Michelle is AMAZING! She gave Rebel love and care as if her were her own. She sent daily pictures of their walks, and play time. I highly recommend considering Michelle for your pet-sitting needs. She definitely exceeded our expectations.”
“Beth is a very caring person! Kaia has separation anxiety... but with Beth's calm demeanor and her lovable pack, Kaia's stay was wonderful! It was our first time leaving her and she's 3yrs old. The pack at Beth's are playful... and kind. It was a positive Play experience!! Beth is so humble and understanding... I will use her again! This is a 5+++ rating!”
“David was graciously flexible with drop off/pick up time which allowed us to do a late night stargazing program. He also has a great yard that my dogs seemed to thoroughly enjoy. We were very pleased and booked a second day.”
“Such a great and flexible couple. My dog enjoyed his stayed and we had such a peace of mind leaving him with Jeannette and Richard. We had to add an extra day due to a change of plans and they were able to accommodate and so nice. This was our first time using Rover.com. Jeannette and Richard sure made this first experience so wonderful for us that we will return to this service and use again - of course our preference is ALWAYS to first see if Jeannette and Richard are available. : )”
“Christie & Daniel welcomed Ranger into their household with ease and h compassion, I felt so comfortable leaving her with them, and I knew Ranger was in good hands.”
“We had an amazing experience! We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She kept us updated with photos and messages, making us feel at ease while we were away. Ashley genuinely cared for our dog and treated her like part of the family. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Loren was fantastic! She was very accommodating and patient, and wrote beautiful check-ins to help us feel comfortable while away from our pups! One of our pooches was not the best-behaved and Loren was very calm and reassuring.”
“We’ve booked Miriam before and were so happy to have her watch our pup again—this time for three weeks. She took incredible care of her and sent photos and videos every day, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our pup clearly had a wonderful time with Miriam and her family. She loved playing with Miriam’s golden retriever, and it was especially sweet to see how much our pup adored Miriam’s daughter. It truly felt like our pup was part of their family while she was there. We’re so grateful for the care and attention they gave her and would happily book with Miriam again. Highly recommend! 🐾”
“Gail is the most amazing pet sitter. My precious Miniature Schnauzer was cared for with such kindness and attention. We travel often and after our previous pet sitter needed to leave Tucson for personal reasons we were panicked. Finding Gail was a godsend. Gail offers a boutique pet vacation experience in her lovely home in a gated community. Gail’s home has a beautifully landscaped back yard with good strong concrete block fencing, sturdy gates and lots of shaded area. After completing a meet and greet with Gail I concluded that she is everything I could possibly ask for in a pet sitter. Her home in Saddlebroke is well worth the drive. It’s a beautiful area full of golf courses and magnificent mountain views. Gail works from home so she spends a lot of time with the pets in her care. She was always lightening-fast with messages on Rover. She is a well educated professional and it shows. The elite housing development where they live is so full of places for her to have adventures with her dogs. My dog got along very well with Gail’s two small senior dogs. Leaving my pup with Gail felt like dropping him off at a fancy desert resort for a vacation. I honestly think that my pups vacation was just as fun and relaxing as mine was. Gail could be a professional pet photographer. She sent such cute photos of my dog while we were on vacation. The photos are so adorable that I saved them all on my computer. I know my dog very well and I could tell from the photos that he was totally relaxed, safe and having fun. I could not be more pleased with Gail and the love and attention she showed my beloved little schnauzer while I was away. Gail’s location in Saddlebrooke is absolutely worth the drive. It’s very scenic and the slightly higher altitude means more outdoor fun time for your pup in the summer. My experience with Gail was flawless from start to beginning. She is a gem. I hope she keeps dog sitting forever. I will definitely be booking her for my next trip.”
“Pamela is wonderful with pets and humans! She goes above and beyond to help. This was my dogs first pet sitter and I think he wanted to stay. I hope everyone can have an opportunity to utilize her services!”
“Darlene watched our little Sophie for 5 days, she sent pictures and communicated fast and friendly. Her environment is safe and dog friendly. She treated Sophie as part of her family. She took excellent care of our 12yr old pup, and I highly recommend her!”
“This is the second time our pup has stayed with Barbara, and once again she went above and beyond throughout the week. She helped arrange pick-up and drop-off, sent fabulous and frequent photos and videos, and once again Gizmo had so much fun he was almost sad to come home! We'll definitely keep booking with Barbara!”

“Wonderful and always communicated and sent pictures. Have already rebooked with her. Cant say thanks enough for her willingness to drive to a decent remote area of Arizona to help with my dog and cat. It takes a lot of stress off regarding my busy schedule.”
About: I have always had cats since the day I was born, and I’m very experienced looking after cats of all ages and temperaments. We’ve had tiny kittens all the way up to 15 year old seniors, requiring different levels of care and attention. I’m not scared of cats and will happily spend as much or as little time with them as they want (they always get to decide, naturally). I’ve looked after cats with various dietary needs, as well, so happy to coax and cater to even the pickiest eaters!
About: I have been lucky enough to have been surrounded by a variety of pets (dogs, cats, horses, pigs, chickens, fish, goats, reptiles, and small mammals) my entire life and have always taken a prominent role in caring for them. My husband and I share a deep love for animals and treat them as a part of the family and would treat yours with the same level of care. We have our own flock of chickens as well as experience with goats (including milking) so can help out with the homestead if needed! We love spoiling our pack just enough and can promise to do the same with yours. I have open availability to walk or watch your pets any day of the week. I have a part time job but it's very flexible so I can take care of the pack anytime! Safety and security first. I will always prioritize the safety of your pet above all and will make sure that when they're with me that they are monitored and supported in any way necessary.
About: I have grown up with small, medium, and big dogs. I volunteer at the humane society, and have sitted for neighbors and family many times. Have washed many dogs before I’m currently only working the weekends in the afternoon, so weekdays and even early in the morning for weekends I’m available to take care of your pup I walk my dog daily, wash him frequently, and trim his nails frequently as well. So your dog deserves the same great treatment I give mine
“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!”
About: Hi! I’m Anna, and I’d love to care for your cat while you’re away. I’m a proud cat parent myself (that’s Clark in the picture❤️) and completely understand the unique personalities (and quirks!) that come with our feline friends. Whether your cat is social and playful or independent and reserved, I’m comfortable adapting to their vibe and needs. I’ve cared for cats for friends and family over the years and treat each one like they’re my own. From feeding, litter box cleanup, and playtime to quiet companionship or medication needs, I’ll make sure your kitty feels safe, relaxed, and well-loved while you’re gone.
About: I've been around animals since I was 5! I connect with animals so well that they feel they can be comfortable around me so quick! I am a full time student at the University of Arizona I am a cheer coach on tuesdays and thursdays! I also enjoy the gym! On a daily I let the dogs run around the home till they need to go out! I'll put the dogs in kennels if needed!
About: I grew up on a farm, surrounded by animals of all kinds from energetic puppies to senior dogs, barn cats, and even livestock. That experience taught me how to read animal behavior, respond calmly in unexpected situations, and provide gentle, consistent care. I also picked up a lot of practical skills, including how to support animals through stress, illness, or injury. Whether your dog needs extra patience, a structured routine, or just some good old-fashioned love and playtime, I’ve got them covered. I truly understand animals and I treat every pet like part of the family. Caring for animals has always been part of my everyday life. Whether it’s early morning walks, playtime, or keeping a routine for feeding and medication, I naturally build my day around what pets need. I’m used to adjusting my schedule to fit each animal’s routine whether it’s a puppy who needs extra attention or a senior dog who needs a slower pace. Pet care isn’t just a task for me it’s something I genuinely enjoy and look forward to every day. I follow each pet’s routine closely whether I’m in my home or yours. That includes feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs like meds or crate training. I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved in a clean and calm environment.
“Bentley was wonderful to meet and absolutely loves dogs! He was so communicative and understanding, and took wonderful care of our dogs! He was a pleasure to work with and will definitely book again!”
About: I've loved cats my whole life and have cared for them professionally for 6 years, including those with severe disabilities and needs. Even the most shy cats will warm up to me through play time or snuggles. I take pride in keeping them safe, healthy, and with a clean litter box!
About: I have had dogs all throughout my life. I care for them when they are sick. Take them out on long runs or walks depending on age. I will carry a dog to take it to the bathroom because there arthritis is bad. I will clean after a dog if it makes an accident. I will clean teeth and brush the dog for good health. Even train if it is required. And sleep on the floor with them when they get lonely. And sit at a park on a cool day just because we can. Explore different parts of the neighborhood for something different in the routine. Or just sit at home and be lazy together and bond with one a other on the floor.

Perfect for high energy dogs - San Manuel

About: My husband and I have retired and live in Saddlebrooke. We both watched dogs before when we lived in Columbus and now in Arizona and we LOVE it! Between the two of us we are home alot to spoil our (and your!) dogs, but do note that we do take bike rides etc in the 2-3 hour range several times a week. We watch ONLY ONE family’s dog(s) at one time so that we can give YOUR pet the special attention that he or she deserves. I have found each dog that we've watched to be a special gift in his or her own way and consider it a real blessing to be given the honor of watching your pet. I've been watching dogs for decades for family, neighbors and friends and loving it! I have always had dogs, helped my uncle raising schnauzer's, and done obedience work with several of my dogs - who were amazing! We have one dog, Emmie, a 15 yr old Havanese who while initially wary of new dogs and people becomes friends. She is pretty low key ( and toothless) and so dogs that have very high energy would not be a good fit. She accepts other dogs but doesn't usually care to play with them (but we do!!) We also require all dogs that we watch to be up to date on all immunizations, and are fully house broken and non aggressive. Dogs are welcome on our furniture and on our bed. We have a secure five foot fence in our back yard. My husband and I are retired and so are around home a lot, yet we are active and love to take walks and snuggle and play with the dogs! I have a five foot fenced in back yard. Dogs are welcome anywhere in our house including our bed. Our Havenese sleeps with us and yours is welcome too!
“So incredibly grateful for finding you, Christie! (And Daniel too!🙂). Christie, your skills with dogs who are not accustomed to being around other dogs is truly remarkable! I told my husband you are a dog whisperer. Thank you for giving us a home we feel comfortable leaving Lucy & Lily when we go on vacations. With gratitude, Trish & Mic ❤️”
About: I have owned at least one dog for 30 years! I consider them members of my family and love spending time walking with them and playing with them and having them be a part of our daily life! I look forward to the opportunity to care for your pet! I am a retired veteran teacher. Just moved to the Tucson area. I’m looking for a way to be active in the community and get to know the area and the people and pets in it! We have a fully fenced yard, and pool that is dog, friendly! We have the ability to crate if that is necessary. Our dog is very friendly and loves playing with other like-minded dogs!
“Abby was great! I was in a pickle as I had to have workers come out to my house within 12 hours and my dog couldn’t be present. I couldn’t find any care for her but Abby came through. She was VERY flexible as I work unpredictable long hours and constantly sent me photos and updates. It was a very hectic day for me, but she was always calm, accommodating and soo sweet it took a huge burden off me. Will def be booking her in the future. My baby had so much fun just getting 1-1 attention all day from Abby. She really does love the animals she watches and wants to help the owners. She’s prompt, transparent and genuine. She really does have all the love in the world for animals and people. 10/10 recommend.”
“Sally is great! She was very friendly and welcoming to our dog, Finnegan. Sally was also super communicative and flexible with our schedule. Would definitely recommend her to others!”
“What a great family! We did a drop off day care with them. Coco's tail was wagging away when we arrived, she knew she was in for some fun. They were so easy to communicate with, and you can tell that they all love pups. We were very happy with Coco's stay - we will definitely ask them again. Thank you Seth and Connie”
“Barbara was so kind and easy to work with. She sent pictures and updates of our pup throughout his stay which made me feel relaxed knowing he was safe and having a good time. He got play time and walks and was tuckered out when he got home. It was clear Barbara enjoys what she is doing, which really makes a difference. Will definitely be a repeat customer.”
“Beth took exceptional care of my pup! She sent us a photo update and was able to accommodate our late pick up time. I will definitely be using Beth again!”
“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.”
About: I choose to not be a pet owner but love dogs. I get my pet time by helping friends and family as well as others who need to be gone and can’t take their pet along. I enjoy getting to know a variety of pups and I’m very in tune with their needs. I’m retired so I have alot of time to play with your dog and to go on walks I’m available weekends as well as weekdays. I have no pets of my own so your fur baby will have all my attention. My back patio is completely walled in and has a turf area for in between walks.
“Ashley is an excellent, loving sitter. She constantly connects with all of the dogs who stay with her, each in an individual way, greeting, encouraging, praising and correcting. My dog Sunny Girl benefited greatly from the few months of once or twice a week daycare she spent with Ashley and the other dogs, becoming calmer and more confident with the various dogs she met. I would recommend Ashley to anyone looking for safe, caring daycare or boarding services for their dogs.”
“Steve did a great job with our rambunctious 5 month old puppy. She came home exhausted after her play dates! Worked out great, would definitely use him again imif in the area.”
“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! 🐾❤️”
“Melissa is amazing! Our pup took to her instantly and seemed happy and comfortable really quickly. Mellisa is great about sending pictures and a little report card at the end of a stay. She is a kind, organized and it’s obvious how good she is with animals! Highly, highly recommend her!!”
“Both Rio and Jen were wonderful with our dog Rosie. Everything went smoothly. Their welcoming attitude alongside a great house for dogs --with a patio and pee area) made it an easy experience for Rosie and for us.”

About: Trusted In-Home Dog & Cat Care | Lifelong Animal Lover Hi! I’m an independent pet caregiver offering day care, overnight boarding, and sitting services in my peaceful, owner-occupied home. Having shared my life with dogs and cats for as long as I can remember, caring for animals is second nature to me. Currently, I am a proud parent to a friendly 20 lb dog and a sweet 16-year-old senior cat whom I’ve nurtured since she was a kitten. Because I am at home full-time, your pets will never be left unattended or confined for long stretches. Whether it’s managing senior cat care with extra patience, hosting small-dog playdates, or maintaining your pet’s exact home routine, I treat every client’s baby like my own family. My goal is to provide a calm, clean, and secure environment so you can enjoy your time away with complete confidence. As a full-time stay-at-home homeowner, pet care isn't just something I squeeze into my day—it is the central structure of my daily routine. My day naturally revolves around physical exercise, regular outdoor time, and attentive companionship. I walk my dog twice a day for two miles on each walk, ensuring active pets get plenty of exercise, fresh air, and mental stimulation. Throughout the day, I frequently let the pets out into my secure backyard for potty breaks, quick sniffing sessions, or relaxing in the sun. Because I am home full-time, I am able to provide a consistent, low-stress environment with timely meals, predictable routines, and constant supervision. Whether your pet needs an active day with long walks or a quiet, comfortable spot for senior care, my schedule allows me to easily adapt to and mirror their exact routine at home. I care for pets in my home by offering a safe, structured, and loving environment where they are treated like part of the family. Because I own my home and stay home full-time, guest pets receive direct supervision and dedicated attention throughout the entire day. Here is what pet parents can expect when their pets stay with me: • Tailored Routines: I mirror each pet’s existing home schedule—including exact feeding times, medication schedules, potty breaks, and exercise routines—to keep their transition completely stress-free. • Active Exercise & Outdoor Time: Active dogs enjoy two daily 2-mile walks, along with frequent, supervised trips into my secure backyard for play and potty breaks. • Gentle Care for Seniors & Cats: Having cared for my own 16-year-old senior cat since she was a kitten, I am experienced in providing a quiet, gentle, and low-stress space for older animals or pets who prefer a calm atmosphere. • Constant Supervision & Safety: With full-time home availability, pets are never left unattended for long periods. I maintain a clean, pet-proofed home and ensure safe interactions between animals, accommodating my friendly 20 lb dog alongside guest pets seamlessly.
About: Hi, My husband Angus and I just recently moved to Tucson from Chicago and adore dogs!

I work from home, so there’s always plenty of company, playtime, cuddles and attention throughout the day. Daily photos and an update included, so you can see all the adventures they’re getting up to! My only requirement is that your dog is friendly with people and other dogs. I want your dog to go home happy and wondering when they can come back! Thanks, Bill I work from home and have plenty of flexibility, so your pup will get lots of company, attention and love throughout the day. I am outdoorsy and would love a furry adventure buddy to join me on walks and adventures! I have grown up with dogs and have cared for pups throughout our lives, so I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I will treat your dog like one of my own, with plenty of love, exercise, attention and care.

I’m happy to accommodate different needs whenever possible… it’s usually just a matter of coordinating schedules in advance 😊 I live in an apartment with access to a dog park right in the complex, so there is plenty of space for walks, playtime, and fresh air. I also love spending time outdoors and often visit parks, lakes, and hiking trails whenever I can. If a dog enjoys adventures, I would be happy to bring them along with me :)

“This was my first time using Rover and my first experience having my dog boarded by someone other than a friend/family member and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I love that Denise only accepts one pup at a time. I got messages, video, and picture updates daily. I didn’t stress one bit with my pup’s stay which was SUCH a relief. I would definitely book with Denise again and I would recommend her to anyone looking to rest assured that their dog is in good hands!”

She took incredible care of her and sent photos and videos every day, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our pup clearly had a wonderful time with Miriam and her family. She loved playing with Miriam’s golden retriever, and it was especially sweet to see how much our pup adored Miriam’s daughter. It truly felt like our pup was part of their family while she was there. We’re so grateful for the care and attention they gave her and would happily book with Miriam again. Highly recommend! 🐾”
“She is literally the sweetest. My dog stayed with her while I went on vacation and she did an amazing job. I will definitely be coming back!! I recommend her 100% ❤️”
“Gail is such a wonderful sitter for Pico. Her home and yard, as well as her lifestyle and personality suit him perfectly. I could tell he was well cared for and happy when we came to pick him up. We have already re-booked with her for a longer stay.”
“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”
“What a great time Pumpkin had visiting with Jan at her home. She took such great care of our pup and we definitely felt so comforted by the photos and notes she sent. We look forward to bringing Pumpkin to Jan sometime soon!!”
“My puppy absolutely loved Steve! Steve sent constant updates on my dog and has amazing response times. My puppy just looked so incredibly happy and comfortable with Steve! Definitely going back when I need a sitter!”
“It was a lovely short weekend stay with Teddye and John who are both super personable and took great care of my pup. I appreciated Teddye’s ability to let me drop off early in the morning to make a flight.”
“Karma was a happy camper!!! I got the most adorable daily pictures and updates, it was so clear that Karma was having the best vacation!! Couldn’t have asked for anyone better 🥰 thank you!!”
“So grateful for Karen and Brennen. They took such good care of Ripley. The picture updates they sent were not only comfortingly, but very cute and funny. Hoping we can always leave our pup with them!”
“Jennifer was wonderful! She cared for our dogs like they were her own, giving them so much love, attention, and pampering. It was such a relief to know they were safe and happy while we were away. She went above and beyond. Our pups came home relaxed, content, and maybe a little spoiled—in the best way! I can’t recommend her enough and will absolutely be booking with her again.”
