“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Jessica was amazing! She is very responsive and asked many questions to get to know my pup to make sure he was comfortable. I was grateful for her updates and pictures she sent, it definitely gave me peace of mind while I was away. My Yoda came home so relaxed so I know he had a ball 🥹. Thank you Jessica!”
“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”
“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.”
“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 🤗”
“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!”
“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. 💙”
“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!”
“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.”
“Julie is amazing! She worked with me during a tight schedule and setup to support Skip well. He had an amazing time with great updates and photos. Highly recommend and will use services again!”
“Vicky! I wanted to thank you, for taking such good care of my baby Theodore while I was away. I was very comfortable leaving him with you. I was confident and I knew that he would be in good hands with you. I appreciate you keeping me posted with Theodore’s daily activities. I will definitely reach out to you in the future to watch my Theodore for me again. Thank you so much! For everything ”
“I’m so thankful for the care Sylvie provided to my pup for an extended time that I was out of town. I will definitely ask Sylvie to sit for me again in the future!”
“Tammy and Stephen are dog lovers. They took excellent care of my dog for four days. She had a great time playing with a few other dogs. Daily pics or videos were nice to receive. I will use them again and highly recommend them.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Amazing dog family. I had to go out of town for a few days and didn't have any problem at all with fear or apprehension because I knew my animal is cared for. Extra playtime and walking because my dog is super energetic and needs the exercise. Thanks for the great job.”
“Coochie usually struggles with chaotic or new environments, but the beautiful backyard atmosphere and the smaller dog policy helped coochie feel at home right away and got along famously with all dogs present with minimal introduction needed, which is an absolute first for my baby. I have found her perfect fit, she came home happy and thankfully very tired after her overnight vacation. Im so happy with both Christina and her husband, what a wonderful experience in a truly magical environment, highly recommend and am keeping her for all future visits.”
“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.”

About: I’ve been the resident animal lover my whole life. I started as the caretaker for the family dog at 11 years old and have my own dogs as well. I’ve raised, trained, pet sat, and boarded dogs (and the occasional cat) for 20+ years. I have experience with toy to giant breed dogs as well as all energy levels. My home is a mixture between calm and energetic but I always make sure we make adjustments so that pets can feel the most comfortable while they are here. I am home all day during the week and most weekends. I will step out for up to 2 hours at a time for school pick ups/drop offs and errand runs. I have a 5ft fenced yard with locking gates. There are currently 2 dogs living in the home — a 1 year old lab mix and a 10 year old golden retriever. I have a separate dog area from my kids so that they have a place to escape from grabby hands and loud noises.
“Elizabeth was amazing! She immediately put us at ease about leaving our cats in her care. They’re our babies, and she treated them with so much attention. She was incredibly responsive, provided detailed daily updates, and always included photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We could tell our cats were in great hands. Elizabeth will absolutely be our go-to pet sitter from now on. Highly recommend!”
“Rachel did an absolutely outstanding job house sitting for us! She played with our kitties and gave them lots of snuggles while we were away. I am so relieved to come home and know my fur kids were well taken care of. She was very professional too and I had full confidence in her. We will DEFINITELY rebook with her in the future and will be recommending her to our friends and families! Thank you so much Rachel!!”
“Sydney is always quick to respond and takes good care of our elusive Gobstopper. She takes the time on her visits even though our furball is usually hiding under the bed and being antisocial.”
“Alora is conscientious, thoughtful and communicative. She gives me very good notes and is on time. She cares about my cats and really lets me know how they’re doing. I feel very safe leaving them in her care!”
“Love Lorena’s energy and passion to help! She gave my fur kids plenty of love and treats and pets! All were well taken care of and I felt confident in her care! Will definitely use again and highly recommend!”
“Alba is a great and caring individual. I’d love for her to continue to take care of our cats when we are out. She’s the best!! On our first initial visit, I appreciated that she immediately asked further questions/clarification about my pets to ensure they had the best care.”
“Nia did a great job taking care of our dog, Lulu. Nia was very good at communicating everything she observed and all the things she did while spending time with Lulu. She really paid attention to Lulu’s behavior and mood and her notes really let us know Lulu was in good hands.”
“10/10 would recommend Alayne! She was wonderful with our two cats and went above and beyond to care for them. Alayne is professional, knowledgeable and caring. We appreciated and enjoyed her updates and photos while we were away.”
“My kitties adored having Annette here. She clearly loved them up - Clyde followed her everywhere! She tended to my home as if it were her own and enjoyed the pool - as anyone staying here should:-) I would have her back again anytime.”
“Colby was great!! I was looking for someone to check in on my cat and give him some attention while I was gone for a few days and she took good care of him. I’m grateful for the pictures I got of my cat while I was gone. I definitely recommend Colby to anyone who is looking for a pet sitter and next time I’m in need of one I will definitely be asking her again.”
“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.”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for my sorta high-needs senior cat. Sammie was reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring from start to finish. She checked in every day with photos and updates, and it was clear how much affection she gave my cat — my kitty absolutely adored her and even settled into her usual “workday spot” on the desk right beside her. I came home to a spotless house, a happy and relaxed cat, and everything exactly as I left it. Sammie has a kind heart, great instincts, and treats your home and pets with real respect. I’d trust her again in a heartbeat.”

“Water and John are very warm and friendly. They love dogs and are wonderful, communicative caregivers. They were extremely accommodating when I had a last minute request for daycare for my dog. Thank you to you both for being the kind and caring human beings that you are.”
“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 ❤️”
About: Hi! I’m a reliable, dog-loving sitter who treats every pup like family—while also keeping routines, safety, and comfort a top priority. I’ve been caring for dogs for several years and have experience with all ages and energy levels, from playful puppies to laid-back seniors. I understand that every dog is different, so I take time to learn your dog’s routine, preferences, and quirks to help them feel secure and relaxed while you’re away. I currently live with my two well-socialized dogs, who are calm, friendly, and used to having canine guests. Your dog will never be left alone or ignored—I’m attentive, patient, and happy to match their energy whether that means playtime, walks, or quiet companionship. I live in a house with a yard where dogs can safely play or relax. I’m also happy to follow any leash, feeding, or medication instructions exactly as requested. I offer flexible drop-off and pick-up times and provide regular updates so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your dog is in good hands. 🐾 I only care for dogs (no cats). 📩 Feel free to reach out with any questions—I’d love to meet you and your pup! Pet care fits into my routine easily-I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I can provide plenty of attention, playtime, and outdoor breaks. I can check in on your pup several times a day, or I’d be happy to care for them in my home. I also offer early morning and evening availability to accommodate pet parents with long work hours. I have two sweet Greyhounds to play with & keep your baby company. I love to cuddle on the couch or bed with the dogs. I’ll do whatever I can to make sure your pup is comfortable and safe.
About: We’re a laidback family with a toddler and a senior boxer that thinks she’s a puppy. We’re familiar with dogs that have medical needs and are happy to accommodate any requests you have to make sure your dogs stay with us stress free for everyone I work from home with a flexible schedule so your pup will have moments of play and napping throughout the day! And we usually do a little family walk in the evenings We have a fenced in yard and a playful boxer to keep your pup company! Since I’m home during the day your dog will have bathroom and play breaks throughout the day. We can accommodate dogs that require a crate but also are okay if your pup prefers sleeping on the couch or in their own bed
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.

“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.”

About: I have taken care of both dogs and cats, of all ages, pretty much my entire life. I have experience with grooming such as nail trimming and bathing. I am currently a student but my schedule is pretty open during the week and weekend. I am also available on holidays. The only day that I am not fully available is Sunday from 6pm-9pm due to a weekly engagement. As a dog walker, I will take your dogs on walks, take them to the park, or whatever you need me to. If I am dropping by to check on your pets, I will check on all the necessities and make sure to locate all pets (and send pictures).
“Thank you Elizabeth for agreeing to walk Marty on a last minute request! She was very prompt to reply and great with communication and flexibility! I hope to have her walk Marty again soon !”
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.

“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!”
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.

“My dog is wary of new people and new things, but she took to Thomas right away. Thomas has given her a variety of experiences and activities to spice up her day, and she always comes home happy and ready to relax for a while.”
“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!”

“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!”
“Julie is amazing! She worked with me during a tight schedule and setup to support Skip well. He had an amazing time with great updates and photos. Highly recommend and will use services again!”
“Vicky! I wanted to thank you, for taking such good care of my baby Theodore while I was away. I was very comfortable leaving him with you. I was confident and I knew that he would be in good hands with you. I appreciate you keeping me posted with Theodore’s daily activities. I will definitely reach out to you in the future to watch my Theodore for me again. Thank you so much! For everything ”
“Tammy and Stephen are dog lovers. They took excellent care of my dog for four days. She had a great time playing with a few other dogs. Daily pics or videos were nice to receive. I will use them again and highly recommend them.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Amy is wonderful! She set up a meet and greet ahead of time so that she would know any of our dogs particular needs/quirks and so that our dog would feel safe and comfortable in her home. She stayed in touch the whole time we were away. We highly recommend Amy and will definitely trust her to watch our fur baby in the future!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Gail is awesome!! My 13 yr old pup needed a vet visit and meds under her care and she was right on top of it. She took great care of him! Gail is my new go-to dog sitter!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I cannot recommend Mercedez highly enough! From the moment I met her, I felt completely at ease leaving my furry baby in her care. Her passion for dogs is evident, and it was clear that my pup was going to be well-cared for. She took the time to understand my dog's personality, needs, and quirks, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable experience for my pup. She also created a cozy environment at home. It was clear that my dog felt safe and happy, which is the most important thing for any pet parent. When I returned, my dog was healthy, happy, and even a little reluctant to leave. It was a relief knowing that my dog was in such capable hands. If you’re looking for a reliable, loving, and attentive dog sitter, look no further than Mercedez. I will definitely be booking her again for future trips! Thank you, Mercedez, for taking such wonderful care of my furry family member! 🐾❤️”
“Stella, our Great Dane had an amazing time. She was able to play with a dog her size while we are away. We will definitely use Taylor and her family to care for our pup in the future!”
“My first ever time leaving my little Georgie, I felt comfortable knowing that he was in safe and knowledgeable hands. The proximity is a bonus too! I look forward to booking her for future drop ins!”
“Steve was great in every way. Very accommodating for my changing schedule, and my my dog seemed to love him. Always gave quick replies to any questions I had and dealt with my wild dog that can admittedly be difficult to deal with occasionally. 100% recommend Steve to anybody looking for a reliable sitter.”
