“This was our first experience using Rover. Carina and Santiago help us and our dog feel very comfortable with the experience. We sent updates while we were away and we knew Marty was well taken care of!”
“Teri is very reliable, caring, and she loves dogs. She took care of my dog (Leia) like her own. Teri is very flexible, we were very lucky that she accommodated Leia. She gives us updates, sends photos everyday of Leia’s activity, and she is very quick to respond to our messages. Leia was very comfortable with Teri, she gets a lot of exercise , while with Teri. She gets along very well with Teri’s dogs. It gave me peace of mind leaving Leia with Teri knowing how comfortable Leia was when she got inside Teri’s house, and immediately start to play with Teri’s fur babies. 🥰 Thank you so much Teri.”
“Daniel is awesome! He clearly loves pups and showed that to our service dog Nacho. The photos he sent each day gave us comfort knowing Nacho was in a warm and loving place while we traveled. Will certainly be asking Daniel to look after Nacho again and takes my mind off knowing I have to find other places to take care of Nacho. Thank you Daniel!”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was seven years old. As an adult, I have partnered with the Humane Society to foster animals in need and would like to do the same for your pet! I will be sure your pet is well taken care of and spoiled while you are away. I’m active duty military and work Monday through Friday but come home at lunch so pets will not be left alone longer than four hours. I am off on weekends. I have five dogs in my own that are all under 25 pounds and are familiar with pals coming into their home. I have a fenced yard with turf and space on the bed, in a crate, or on the sofa for wherever your pet desires to be comfy.
“David was excellent to work with! He was understanding of my dog's anxiety needs, handled him well on walks, and gave him lots of care and attention during my dog's stay. David also communicated well and gave us daily updates!”
“Thank you Robyn for your excellent care of our Lillie Mae. We were a bit anxious as this was the first time at your home for Lillie. She was comfortable from the beginning. You kept us updated with pictures and that means a lot to us. You truly love dogs and it shows in your care for them. Our Lillie came home so happy dog.”
“Shawna and Ethan are amazing. They are both clearly "dog people" and make sure Rocky has a great time every time she stays with them. They also send me pictures to make sure I'm up to date with how much fun Rocky is having with them and their two adorable dogs. Highly recommend.”
“Miriam was exceptional! She took care of our dog Kobe for a week when we were out of town. We got daily updates with pictures showing Kobe was having so much fun! There were lots of play time and snuggle time with her family. She has a beautiful, clean house with a spacious backyard, a perfect setup for any dog. We highly recommend her and we are looking forward to be back soon.”
“Can’t say enough great things. Ashley is very sweet has great vibes to her. Friendly dogs and my pup loved it there with her. It was her first over night with someone new and she did really there. Ashley made it very comfortable for me to have her watch my pup. Thank you so much and will be seeing you very soon”
“Water and John were absolutely amazing dog sitters. They sent multiple updates and photos a day letting me know how Brady was doing. I could just tell he was getting a lot of care and love. Would definitely use them again!”
“Our dogs live going to Rons, his two dogs are friendly and our dogs live playing with them. He always sends a lot of photos and updates. Ron genuinely enjoys dog sitting. I always feel good dropping them off with him.”
“Loren was amazing and put some of my anxiety at ease with our high energy aussie. She sent daily recaps and pictures of our dogs. It looked like they had a wonderful time and were so happy/tired when picked up. She communicates quickly with any questions/concerns. Would love to have our dogs stay with her again!”
“I highly recommend Shiela! My dog is always happy to be with her. She sends pictures frequently so that we know that our dog is doing well. She follows all directions given regarding giving meds and general care.”
“Korrina was the sweetest! She asked all the questions and sent me daily updates. My puppy came back looking so happy and rested. Thank you so much for taking care of my Daisy. I will definitely be rebooking 🤗”
About: I’ve taken care of animals ever since I was little, whether that was taking care of our cats and dogs or watching a neighbors pet. I worked in the veterinary field for a couple of years and a technician so I am comfortable administering any medications. I am open to sitting dogs of all ages, I just ask that if they aren’t potty trained to please provide a kennel. I have a border collie who loves to make friends so we hope to see your furry friends soon! I am currently a PhD student here at the U of A. I do have classes and work during the weekdays but I am available after 5pm. On the weekends me and my dog take it easy and stay in. I do live in an apartment complex. There are two dog parks present in the complex if you would want me to take your pet to run some energy out (but totally understand if you would prefer no visits to the dog park). I am able to crate any pet that needs to be I just ask that you supply the crate since I do not have one at this time. I do have a 7yr old border collie who loves to meet new friends and is very patient with energetic breeds. I take her on a long walk at least once a day and will definitely take any pet I watch on a long walk too (a girl has to get her steps in).
“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.”
“Cameron and Tyson are gems! My dad passed away unexpectedly and I was really stressed about finding someone new to watch our Emma girl on semi short notice. Fortunately, we found Cameron and Tyson and all of my nerves went away. Emma was immediately happy to be in their big back yard and settled in really quickly. We received daily updates with the cutest photos and videos that were so fun to receive! It was easy to see she was having fun and felt right at home in their space. When we got back she was over the moon to see us, but also excited to show us her two new humans! I can’t recommend Cameron and Tyson enough. 💙”
“Jessica was GREAT! Her home was welcoming, she was welcoming and from the meet and greet i knew my zaydo was gonna have a great time and be cared for properly. She sent videos and pictures and by the first day he made himself at home which is not usual for him. She kept me updated on all things going on including what they did during the day, How his eating habits were, how he was handling the adjustment and even new things about my doggy i didn’t even know. Her dogs welcomed him with sniffs and lots of playtime. I will definitely be booking again and jessica will always be my #1 recommendation for those needing the help with their fur baby.”

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!
“Kendall is great! She came for my cats' visit even when she had extenuating circumstances that would have totally warranted a cancellation. I didn't have a chance to meet with her before our booking, but Kendall was nonetheless trustworthy, professional, and easy to coordinate with. My cats clearly fell in love with her immediately, and even my super shy kitty came right out to interact with Kendall on her first visit!”

“He was great with 3 cats. He had them at his house just for the day and he stayed with them and kept them out of trouble. Also offered to carry my stuff alot of times which is nice because these cats are heavy. Was worth the money. Will book again if needed.”
“Very communicative and left detailed reports of how my cat was doing. She included photos in her reports, too, which was so fun to see while away. Absolutely recommend her for taking care of your fur baby!”
“Tiffany was absolutely amazing!!! She went above and beyond in taking care of my kitties, even when I accidentally threw a few curve balls at her. I 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a loving person to watch their animals and look forward to using her services again in the future. :)”
“Very very very good service overall. Extremely trustworthy and showed up exactly when she said she would. Returned to very happy pets. Only request would be a little more attention spent to keeping the floors cleaned as discussed. Would absolutely book again in a heartbeat!”
About: I’ve always been a huge dog person! I’ve trained both of my dogs as well as my family dogs from my childhood! We went through all the ups and downs of owning different breeds. From Puppy stage sickness to senior dog issues I’ve experienced most of it all. We have a close knit Church family and I advertise dog sitting and I have been doing dog sitting/walking for several families with young dogs and senior dogs. Each dog and family is different and I’m very capable to adapt my care to each individual dogs needs and behavior. I can walk,feed,play,and even bathe each of our doggie guests during their stay with us or in their own home. I provide as much care and attention they would need due to my 24/7 Home schedule. And since I work remote, I can easily adjust my Small Business hours to fit with your personal schedule preferences! I run a small Art business from my home! And I can easily work remote if I need to. I that means I have most of the week to provide care and attention to your pet! We only reserve Sunday mornings and Wednesday evenings for our church services. While I’m in a clients home, I’m sure to clean up after your pet as well as myself. I’m respectful of personal space and respect the mantra “my house my rules” so any set guidelines you may have for your pet and your home will be followed to the letter!
“Once again, Marie was an excellent sitter for our Lucy. We needed to add an extra day due to a flight delay and Marie was quick to respond and scheduled an extra visit. Thanks Marie!”
“Julia did a fantastic job taking care of our 3 kitties! She was very responsive and her communication was excellent. She sent daily photos of our cats to keep us updated which was greatly appreciated. She administered oral medication to our cat with diabetes to make sure she got the medical care she needed while we were away. The cats definitely warmed up to her and we felt very reassured they were well taken care of during our trip. We will absolutely be working with her in the future!”
“Great pet sitters for my 7 year old cat. They took great care of her and the apt while I was away, and were very easy to communicate with. Highly recommended and I would happily book them again for my next trip.”

“Karen and Brennen were amazing and took great care of my dog. We had a meet and greet beforehand that make me feel that my dog was going to be really safe and happy with them. They send me several pictures during the days my dog stayed with them. Moreover, my always seemed happy when I picked him up. Definitely will leave Max in their care again”
“Ashley and her family are the best! We were in town to deal with some business and with varying hours and she happily was very flexible about what time we needed to pick our Lily up! Our dog had a blast and was pulling on the leash to get back to the door when we brought her back after the first day. Ashley provided walks, training sessions,rest time and playtime. Our dog is on a low-fat diet for medical reasons and she conscientiously gave her the treats we brought. She sends several videos during the day so you can see your baby. There were a couple other dogs in care at the same time and she did an excellent job of introducing and monitoring the dogs. Overall a wonderful experience! We don’t live in Tucson but if we ever return for a visit we would definitely use her again and we highly recommend her to others ❤️”

He was very comfortable as if he was at home. My dog can't wait to get started. So he had his first daycare and I was very impressed with Sylvie handled his first day. She's brilliant”
“Alex is great! Invited me in his home to see where reward was gonna play. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with him. Alex sent pictures throughout the day and always kept me informed.”
About: I have been around dogs my whole life. I can’t remember a time when I didn’t have a dog in my care. I have had many years of experience watching and taking care of mine and others dogs. I have watched my family’s and close friends dogs many times throughout the years. I have dog sitted and had multiple doggy sleepovers up to a month before. I have watched dogs as small as Chihuahuas all the way up to German Shepherds. There is no task I can’t handle! (: I can’t wait to meet your baby and becoming their new friend! I am currently unemployed but looking to make pet care my full time job. I have more than enough time available for dog care. I spend most my time with my own dogs and or family members and friends. I have a great back yard where dogs can run around and feel safe. I am pretty minimal when it comes to furniture but do have plenty of room for dogs to lay around. Dogs are free to roam as they please and can freely go outside. I wash all couch covers twice a week, sweep & vacuum everyday, and mop as needed. I am very big on keeping poop picked up and making sure things are regularly cleaned up, like toys or trash that might be out. Bathroom doors stay closed and cleaning supplies are locked up. I do my absolute best to ensure the safety and comfortability for any animal in my care.
“Stephanie is wonderful! I needed doggie daycare last minute and she took excellent care of my puppy Frankie. It was my first time leaving her in someone else’s home, and I was at ease knowing she was in caring hands. She has a wealth of experience and is a valued and trustworthy sitter.”
“Walter and his family are incredibly sweet. They loved Lucy at first sight and Lucy felt comfortable from the first minute. Will definitely rebook in the next opportunity”
“Steve was fantastic, I was in a bit of a pinch as we were having our bathtub replaced short notice and he was flexible and provided our dog Padme with a fun filled day with other doggie friends! I would definitely recommend him 10/10.”
About: Hi, My husband Angus and I just recently moved to Tucson from Chicago and adore dogs! I’ve had dogs around me for pretty much my entire life; so I am very comfortable caring for dogs of all personalities and making them feel at home. I believe dogs need more than just someone to watch them, they need exercise, adventure, attention and plenty of fun! Your dog can expect at least two proper walks every day, whether that’s exploring the neighborhood, heading out on a hike or getting some good outdoor time. 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.
“Barbara was great! It is obvious that she cares very much for the dogs in her care. She has a great house for pets and the yard is perfect. She sent me pictures of Lilly regularly throughout the day. I will use Barbara again without hesiration.”
“Darlene has been amazing! My dog Rosie seems to really love her! Rosie was able to immediately feel at home and Darlene has been so caring and loving toward her. I hate leaving Rosie, but I felt really good about leaving her with Darlene, who is such a caring and dog-understanding person.”
“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!!”

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: 8+ years caring for dogs, cats, and special needs pets — patient, gentle, and always treating your pets like my own. I’m comfortable with seniors, puppies, shy pets, and administering medication. At home, I share life with my “doggie brother” Scottie (a sweet, sociable dog) and my own “doggie son” Colby (a playful corgi puppy). Living with them has given me daily, hands-on experience meeting different needs and personalities. I adapt my care so every pet feels safe, happy, and loved. Expect regular updates, photos, and a whole lot of tail wags (or purrs!). I’m available every day, including most evenings, and can work with a variety of schedules. Pet care is my main focus, so you can count on consistent, reliable service. I’m happy to accommodate both regular bookings and last-minute needs (for boarding or house sitting, I prefer 3–5 days’ notice when possible). I mainly serve the Tanque Verde area and nearby neighborhoods. My home is quiet, low-traffic, and pet-friendly — perfect for boarding. Message me with your dates or special requests, and I’ll do my best to make it work! Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. I tailor care to each pet’s unique personality, creating a calm, loving environment that feels like home. For Dogs: My home is fully equipped for canine guests — multiple comfy beds, fresh food and water bowls, high-quality dog food, puzzle toys for mental stimulation, leashes for walks, grooming supplies, dental care items, and plenty of healthy treats. A secure fenced yard provides safe, supervised outdoor time. For Cats: I have cozy cat beds, scratching posts, and toys ready for play. To keep your cat’s routine familiar, I ask owners to bring their own litter box, litter, food, medications, and any favorite items that bring comfort. This helps reduce stress and make the transition smooth. Meet My Resident Pets: • Scottie (West Highland Terrier): Gentle with cats and friendly with all dogs. Experienced in living harmoniously with cats. Greets politely and gives space after an initial sniff. • Colby (Pembroke Welsh Corgi): A playful puppy with great adaptability, quick to settle after meeting new friends. Always friendly, even with bigger dogs. Both are fully vaccinated, well-socialized, and groomed regularly. They’re used to meeting new pets and can be kept separate if your pet prefers solo time. What You Can Expect: I follow all owner instructions carefully, maintain a clean pet-friendly space, and provide the right mix of play, exercise, and relaxation. Whether your pet loves cuddles or active play, they’ll get individualized attention and care — so you can travel with peace of mind.
“It's always a joy to have Lily walk the dogs. We were watching our daughters dog who was a little unfriendedly the first time meeting her (which was normal for this dog). Lily knows and understands dogs and was able to have the dog get comfortable with her. Both dogs came back tired and exhausted but very happy from their morrning walk. Highly recommend her!”

“Alayne was an exceptional caretaker for my pup while our family dealt with a tough surgical recovery. She gave our dog excellent attention and great walks when we were being pulled in a few different directions. We are so lucky to have crossed paths with Alayne!”
“Selina was a pleasure to have walk Rocky. She was on time, communicated well and Rocky was tuckered out and happy after his walk. We look forward to booking her again soon.”
“Allison was sooo good and sweet to my baby! 10/10 recommend. She sent me photos and videos of him and spent time with him when she didn’t have to. Thank you and you are officially a repeat in my books! Thank you!!!”
“Josephine was great with Attila. And…he took to Josephine right away. Josephine was calm with the intro and interacted with him throughout the walk. We look forward to many more walks together.”
“Larry did a great job with Ellie. He was attentive to her needs and communicated along the way. I’m excited to have Larry as my new walker and seems to be a great fit. I would recommend Larry for anyone needing a dog walker for their fur child.”
“Maggie was absolutely amazing! If I could give her 6 stars I would. From the moment we met her we could tell how caring she was and how much she loves animals. She was so good with our little chihuahua and was amazing about sending updates with photos and videos. We are so thankful we found Maggie and hope to work with her again in the future. If you are looking for someone to take good care of your fur baby, look no further! Maggie is hands down the best!❤️”
About: I grew up with dogs and have pet sat for family and friends over the years. I even pet sat 2 birds when I was 11, learning that I am not a bird person 😅 but I love the pups. I have a year of professional dog walking experience and am excited to be able to add pet sitting. I have helped train the family pets my whole life mostly the basics: perimeter training, no jumping, stay, sit, etc. I will implement any training techniques and goals you have been working on with your pup to be sure they keep growing. If your pup is in their final years I would love to help you make them the best. I was able to see my beloved Rocky and Zuri through all their days. Zuri's hips where too weak in the end. A almost hundred pound rhodesian ridgeback, I would carry her when needed often having her lay on blankets and pulling her around the house then lifting her out side. She was such a sweet girl her and Rocky both lived for about 14 years. I am available any day after 2pm. I work mornings so am not always availble in the mornings. During the summer this does lead to later walk times since the heat is so much. If sitting it would also mean really early walks on my work days. When am taking care of another's beloved pup I do my best to maintain their routine and any precaution their parents take. I.e. keep on the leash, watch that they don't eat stuff, crating when home alone, etc.
About: I grew up having dogs and taking care of them. I also have 3 pups of my own that’s I’ve worked to train and care for for the last 4 years. I will care for your pet as my own and make sure they’re comfortable and safe while in my care. I currently work full time at Raising Canes and am looking for something to fill my time that I enjoy. I am very flexible and am able to work around your schedule to be able to meet your pets needs. I always make sure to supervise so I know they are safe and also make sure they don’t get into things they aren’t supposed to but overall ensuring they have a safe and clean place to relax and hangout.
About: I've cared for friends' dogs over the last few years with extended visits as long as 4 months. Let me care for your sweet doggo and get to know them. I'm a self employed artist so I make my own schedule and have a fair share of flexibility. Throughout the day I can drop ins depend on your needs. I'd be interested in caring for your animals in your homes. I can drop in any time throughout the day depending on our plan and schedules.
“What would I do without these ladies? They're timely, flexible, and send great pics of my doggy when they visit him! They play inside with him when it's too hot to go out, and let him rest when he wants to. They're a relief to us both!”
About: Hi there, I'm Lisandra! I have a history of caring for over 6 dogs, along with experience in caring for reptiles and fish, I bring a wealth of pet experience. Previously, I dedicated my summers to walking two golden retrievers daily, ensuring they got the exercise they needed. Though my school commitments grew, my passion for pet care remains strong. I am currently in online classes so I have a lot of time during the day and in the evening for walks and drop ins I will try to be friends with your pets by the end of are time together. I can let your pets out, play with them,I can fill up food and water when need or, just sit with your pets if they have anxiety issues. My dog has separation anxiety and I can understand how knowing there anxious can rub off on you.
“Rachel is great! She’s understanding with our rescue pup with some behavioral issues and quick to respond to bookings. A great regular walker!”
About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and energy levels. I currently have a Chihuahua and a Beagle, and I cared for my Australian Shepherd for 15 years.

I treat every dog like family and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved 🙂 I am currently pursuing a degree in psychology and attend classes on Mondays and Wednesdays. My schedule remains flexible throughout the rest of the week, allowing me to provide dependable pet care, regular walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention.

“Jessica was GREAT! Her home was welcoming, she was welcoming and from the meet and greet i knew my zaydo was gonna have a great time and be cared for properly. She sent videos and pictures and by the first day he made himself at home which is not usual for him. She kept me updated on all things going on including what they did during the day, How his eating habits were, how he was handling the adjustment and even new things about my doggy i didn’t even know. Her dogs welcomed him with sniffs and lots of playtime. I will definitely be booking again and jessica will always be my #1 recommendation for those needing the help with their fur baby.”
“Gina was so great with Hazel! Hazel can be a bit of a flight risk, so we’re always a little nervous about that, but Gina was very understanding and assured us they would be extra cautious. Gina sent pictures throughout Hazel’s stay and kept us updated. She took her to the dog park and on car rides which is perfect for Hazel who is high energy! She was also very flexible with meet and greet and pick up/drop off times as our schedule requires a later time. Would definitely book again!”
