“Margie had a fantastic time with Beth! Beth was very affordable, communicative, and sent me pictures of Margie every morning showing me how much fun she was having. I will certainly board with Beth again!”

“I couldn’t have asked for better care. I have a very quiet older dog. She was well loved and well cared for. She (they) are well educated in dog nutrition and training. Thanks again Angela and family.”

“Barbara is amazing. My Bentley is a very sensitive little golden doodle. Bentley gets separation anxiety and depression. Barbara went the extra mile to make Bentley feel loved and reassured. Definitely plan on booking more roofy day cares with Barbara ❤️”

“Kat took excellent care of my little Reina. I received updates on her quite frequently. Reina was taken on several walks and appeared to get a long well with Kat’s small pups. Thank you for all the care!”

“Destina could not have been happier with her stay. She went hiking, got lots of cuddles, and I got updates each and every day through messages and photos. When I left Destina, I told her we were both getting a vacation and to enjoy herself. I think she had a better vacation than me! Thx, Erica!!”

“Sylvie was a fantastic choice for watching my sweet pup over a long weekend! Very responsive, reliable, and my dog came back happy and relaxed. That's always a great sign! She provided me with wonderful video and photo updates during the long weekend, which I love. Definitely looking forward to booking with her in the future again!”

“This was Sequoia’s second super fun vacay with Daniel who cared for her as if she was his own. She had a blast with him and his dog and fit right in. Daniel’s communication was excellent and gave us complete confidence that Sequoia was in a loving and playful home away from home, which she loved. We recommend Daniel 100%!”

“Boo is a repeat customer with Regina and really enjoys her time there! I have peace of mind knowing my dog is being loved and taken care of the same way I do!!! Thanks Regina!”

“Jose kept my cat for a long weekend, and I couldn’t be happier. Jose gave me updates and sent pictures. My sweet girl is shy and cautious so it takes a day or so for her to warm up. By the third day, she was sunbathing on her side which means she was very comfortable. He provided a calm safe space for her. I will definitely use him again in the future and highly recommend him. Jose, thank you again!”


“Shanda is the best! Emma is always so happy and so well taken care of when I’m gone! She is great a communicating and has been awesome about being flexible with pick up and drop off! I recommend her to anyone!”

“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.”


“We needed someone to watch our older dog while we were away for a week. Being new to the area we really didn't know anyone and we wanted our dog to be in a home environment where she wouldn't be alone. My wife found Cynthia on Rover and we went over to meet her. We were immediately impressed by the secure yard and surroundings. Our dog immediately bonded with her little dog Chewey. To make sure, we arranged two "play days" to make sure that all went well. Everything went better than expected and I, being an overly protective pet parent, felt at ease with leaving our dog for a week. I had nothing to worry about. Cynthia took great care of our dog, sent us regular updates including pictures and videos. She let our dog settle-in at her house where ever our dog felt most at ease and took her out for regular walks and time in the yard. When we came back we found that our dog had such a good time that I'm not sure she wanted to leave! Needless to say that Cynthia will be our first choice to watch our dog whenever the need arises! Your dog will be in good hands.”

“Cashmere was well taken care of by Ana. My little dog got to play with Ana’s little dog. The socialization was great. Cashmere was taken on walks in the neighborhood. Ana did a great job communicating to me on a regular basis. She sent pictures and video often. We had a god experience.”

“Sarah was amazing she came and checked in on Lola multiple days in a row and took great care of her! I was very grateful to receive daily updates with plenty of pictures.”


“Did a great job dropping in on my kitties! They have a specific feeding routine that requires measuring out raw food with a scale and dosing medication into one of their meals. She handled both tasks with ease and seemed incredibly comfortable with the routine. She even went the extra mile by turning my plant lights on and off! She is very friendly, offers highly competitive pricing, and left me feeling completely confident that my cats were in good hands. I look forward to booking with her again!”


“This was the second time Heidi took care of our kitties! Appreciated her thorough daily updates and pics. Thrilled and surprised that Violet warmed up so quickly! Heidi truly has the magic touch”

Despite the tragedy, my remaining two rats and cat were doing well when I returned, and I received thorough reports and pictures throughout my trip that made me feel assured that all of my pets are being well cared for. Will definitely have Alex take care of my pets again!”


“El was so sweet and a wonderful sitter for my kitty over the weekend. Excellent communication and lots of photos in the daily updates. I came back to a very tidy apartment and happy cat. I would definitely book her again!”

“Where do I even start? Lauren is caring, attentive, and very reliable. She took the absolute best care of our cat when we had to go out of town for a week, and kept us updated the whole time on how our cat was doing. Lauren even offered to take our kitty to the vet for us when she was sick. She took lots of pictures of our cat for us, and kept her very enriched with various toys and treats. When I am looking through Rover next time, I'll absolutely be looking to book Lauren!!! Thank you so much again :) 5 stars”


“Patricia is amazing! She was so loving to my little fur babies! She went above and beyond to get my shy cats to love her. She spoiled them (with my permission) and they really warmed up to her. She was respectful of my home as well!! I’m so thankful she watched my kitties!”


“Mari was absolutely amazing with my sweet kitty Meli! Her updates were super thoughtful, long, and detailed, and it was clear she took such great care of her - it also made me feel so much better since I missed Mel so much! Meli can be really shy and usually takes a while to warm up to new people, but she really came out of her shell with Mari in just 3 days, which says so much!! I felt completely comfortable knowing Meli was in such caring hands. Mari is the best, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter! (':”

“We absolutely love the care and attentiveness that Abriana gives to our 2 senior cats and our 2 year old boy that loves attention and play time. She even made the drive after moving further away which we could not have been more grateful for as it was last minute and we have valued her in so many ways she’s truly irreplaceable so it meant a lot she would drive the extra distance. We know they are so well taken care of and she goes above and beyond. She is truly one of a kind and highly recommend.”

“Stephanie has been absolutely fantastic with our ‘nervous around new things’ dog. She was quick to earn his trust and get him out of his shell. We love knowing that he is in such great hands when she’s around!”

“Yelena took great care of my cat and he had a great time from the pictures I received! She helped out with my frogs and fish even though they weren't originally included in the sitting. I will definitely try to book her again in the future :)”

“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.”


“Shanda is awesome! She is very communicative and always willing to help! Mango enjoys her stay with Shanda and enjoys her playtime with the other pups that are there. She is my go-to everytime I am in need of help with Mango.”

“My babies Mia and Olive are becoming regulars at Sylvie. Moving to Tucson, we were so worried to find the right sitter for them because we travel a lot. Sylvie was a lifesaver, the babies love her so much, they are happy and comfortable there, she sends us the cutest videos and pictures of them enjoying their day. For picky parents, I recommend Sylvie!”

“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!”

“Chris was wonderful with Ziggy! We received pics and even a video! Ziggy was picked up and immediately fell asleep a happy pup! We look forward to booking with Chris 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 ❤️”

“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!!”

“We are so grateful to have connected with Lesley. She is a remarkable human being and she treated our Edith with so much love and care. Already looking forward to their next day together. Can not thank you enough, Lesley. Blessings and peace to you.”

About: I grew up with dogs and have been caring for them since I was young, so being around them feels natural to me. I’ve helped friends, family, and neighbors with walking, feeding, bathing, and giving their dogs attention and exercise. I’m reliable, patient, and make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I wanted to become a Conservation Biologist at one point of my life instead I went into Public Health! My schedule is flexible, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and sitting, and I make sure they get lots of attention, playtime, and care while you’re away. I'm a PhD student and do a lot of work from home. Live close to campus. I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment in my pet-friendly apartment, with access to a small yard and nearby Himmel Park for regular walks and exercise. I carefully follow all care instructions, monitor pets closely, and ensure they feel secure and comfortable at all times. I'm a traveler and can't have my own pets but a temporary pet companion is always welcome and adored!
“Steve provided excellent dog sitting! Our pups had a blast with his dogs. He's accommodating and responded quickly, even on short notice. Appreciated the frequent updates and photos.”


“Jennie is great! Very professional. I really like that she pays attention to each dog and keeps them separated and calm until they are ready to be introduced to each other.”

About: Hi! I've been caring for dogs for as long as I can remember and have over 10 years of official pet-sitting experience. From family and friends' pets to Rover clients, I've always loved providing a safe, comfortable, and caring environment for every dog. While I took a break from actively booking through Rover for a few years, I'm excited to be back and look forward to meeting new pets and their owners. I work a full-time job Monday through Friday and work from home on Mondays and Fridays, allowing for extra attention and flexibility those days. I also have a dog and cat of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pet. Whether your dog enjoys walks, playtime, or relaxing at home, I'll treat them like part of my own family and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I work full time from 9am-5pm Monday - Friday. Mondays and Fridays are work-from-home days, so I am available to give extra attention to any pets in my care. I am up early and stay up moderately late, so I can accommodate early morning or nighttime walks that avoid the heat. I have a very friendly Australian Shepherd that loves to play with other dogs. Our home is multi-level, so best for dogs that are physically comfortable going up and down stairs. Our location has a lot of areas for walks, and park play, which is a part of our routine whenever watching a client in our home. When caring for a pet in their own home, I make every effort to mimic any routines they are used to. This assists in helping dogs feel safe and comfortable, and leads to a better overall experience. I am a very clean person, so it is important to me to keep others' spaces that way as well.

About: I have lots of experience with dogs and cats. Throughout my childhood animals were my escape from reality. My dad bred dogs and I always loved them so much it was hard to say goodbye. In high school I took in a stray cat and it kept getting pregnant so I raised like 5 litters of kittens as well. To be honest I like animals more than people your babies are in good hands. I like to walk and get my steps in everyday so it won’t be much different walking with the doggos. I have dog and catsit for close friends and family but never strangers. Excited to do it! I work from home and my job is very flexible. I am my own boss so I can pretty much take breaks whenever I need to take your fur baby on walks or feed them as well as give them lots of attention when needed. My availability is very open and I love all animals. Since I work from home I’ll always be here to make sure your animal is well cared for and happy. I also go on multiple walks daily anyways to try and stay active so its perfect!!
“Very nice young woman! My Ranger seemed very calm and relaxed in her home when I went to pick him up. He is just a young pup and she was able to manage him. I was really happy with her quick response to my last minute request, it was a life saver! Would recommend!”


About: I’ve grown up with dogs all my life and have experience with different sizes, personalities, and needs. I’ve cared for a range of high energy to low energy and am happy to meet all of their needs. I am a recent graduate from the university and have not yet secured a job, so I will have plenty of time to spend with your pet! I live in an apartment complex with one dog of my own (who loves other dogs). I am home most of the time so I can accommodate any number of needs for your pet easily!

“Took great care with our dog, Bella. It took no time at all for Bella to warm to Logan & get excited to see Logan arrive each day for her walks. Would recommend and use Logan as a dog walker. Good communication about arrival times too, that helped me get Bella ready for her walk ahead of time. Thank you Logan from both Bella & myself.”


About: Dog buddy on duty! We are active, love walks and playtime, and your furry friend will get lots of attention, love, and companionship here. We also have a big fenced in yard for the doggies who love the outdoors. Hi! I’m a stay-at-home mom offering loving, in-home dog boarding in Tucson. Because I’m home most of the day, your dog will get lots of attention, supervision, and companionship — not long hours alone like in a kennel. If necessary and upon request, I am able to be at home all day for constant care. I am able to provide daily walks and can cater to any dietary need, medication administration, or special requests. I have a sweet dog who is almost 3 years old with lots of energy and play in her who would love to have company from a dog buddy. I also have a large fenced back yard and a doggy door. I take our dog on walks, and would love to have your dog join if that is something you would like. I am able to crate your dog upon request with their own crate provided from their home. I also have a baby in the house, so I do need to have your fur baby comfortable with babies/children.
About: I grew up in Florida surrounded by reptiles of all kinds, lots and lots of dogs, a couple cats, and other assorted pawed and clawed friends. I've had dogs in my family since I was a little kid. I have a particular soft spot for small dogs and grumpy elderly dogs who just want to relax. I currently have an anxious dog, a cat, 2 tarantulas (curly hair, red rosehair), a ball/royal python, a grumpy leopard gecko, and colonies of mealworms and dubia roaches 🐛 Please reach out if you have any questions or concerns! I'm flexible :) I'm a UoA student looking for some supplemental income. Family-quality pet care is part of my daily routine since I have a small zoo of my own babies. I like to be particularly attentive to pets' body language and cues. It's fun for me to figure out what critters do and don't like, so I can pamper them accordingly. I also like to keep an eye out for any issues that may be preventive or easily missed - it can take a village for dogs too!
“She’s amazing! A huge life saver able to do a half hour cat check in and dog walks last minute after I hurt my foot. Sarah is absolutely wonderful with animals, her genuine passion and love shows in everything she does. I’d recommend her to anyone and will be using her services again!”

About: I have experience taking care of boarding dogs and cats at an animal hospital. I worked for them for a little over a year and have gotten lots of experience with dogs and cats.

I am currently going to school at the UofA full time during the weekdays (my class schedule is listed below keep reading) and would be available most days to come and play with the animals for 30 minutes to an hour in the afternoons and overnight sitting. And on weekends I would be free to play with and walk the animals as needed. Class schedule: Mon 1pm-2pm Tue 9:30am-1pm then 3pm-5pm Wed 9am-2pm then 4pm-5pm Thur 9:30am-4pm Fri 1pm-2pm I do also have a job at the animal shelter for part time. That work schedule will vary but will be no more the 4-6 hours a day. Likely to be on the weekends to avoid conflict with school :) For my personal home, I will not be able to board any pets. Although I am very safe and responsible. My person pet uses a crate just for her safety when I am gone. I am good with crate training as needed for your pets as well. I make sure I clean up after every day and leave the house as clean as I can before you arrive back home to your happy animals!

About: Hi! I've had my cat Olive for 11 years and my dog Bel for 3 years. I have also taken care of close to 70 foster animals mostly kittens, with a few medical fosters, and behavioral issues along the way. I have taken courses on behavioral training for dogs as my own dog is reactive towards dogs, so I am very familiar with dog reactivity. I currently run a small 1 man business from my home and have control over my schedule to provide care to other animals regularly. I also foster other animals from time to time. My own dog is reactive and high energy and needs 3 walks a day usually with a lot of play. My cat is a large maincoon that requires a strict diet and care regimen to keep her pre-diabetes in check.

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.”


“We needed someone to watch our older dog while we were away for a week. Being new to the area we really didn't know anyone and we wanted our dog to be in a home environment where she wouldn't be alone. My wife found Cynthia on Rover and we went over to meet her. We were immediately impressed by the secure yard and surroundings. Our dog immediately bonded with her little dog Chewey. To make sure, we arranged two "play days" to make sure that all went well. Everything went better than expected and I, being an overly protective pet parent, felt at ease with leaving our dog for a week. I had nothing to worry about. Cynthia took great care of our dog, sent us regular updates including pictures and videos. She let our dog settle-in at her house where ever our dog felt most at ease and took her out for regular walks and time in the yard. When we came back we found that our dog had such a good time that I'm not sure she wanted to leave! Needless to say that Cynthia will be our first choice to watch our dog whenever the need arises! Your dog will be in good hands.”

“Julie did a wonderful job communicating morning and evening with pictures to show how Jewel was doing. Jewel was often smiling in the pictures and looked like she had such a wonderful time with Julie and her husband.”


“Christina and her husband were absolutely wonderful, multiple photos and updates through the day, lots of walks, and very kind and patient with our 2 year old Rottweiler. We could tell our doggie had a fabulous time. We will definitely use them again!”

“Miriam was fantastic taking care of my three dogs, they each have their own personalities and peculiarities and she gave each one exactly what they needed. She was very communicative, flexible, and we received lots of photos while traveling. Her own dogs and family are also very sweet. Would use her again anytime!”

“Courtney and family were wonderful! My little girl was treated with lots of love and kindness and I am sure she enjoyed all the attention she got. I felt very comfortable leaving her with this great family, and I look forward to Precious having another visit with Courtney and family....they are "outstanding" .”

“Antonio took great care of our pup. He was very easy to communicate with and provided updates throughout the stay with pictures and videos. We would definitely use him again to watch our pup and recommend him.”

“Lesley is absolutely the best around! So sweet, kind and caring! Very concerned about our puppies well being and safety in her incredible yard. We will without a doubt have Lesley watch our puppies again!”

“Thanks Dana! Mia tells me she had a great time with you! I really appreciate the one-on-one attention that you gave her! She will be happy to visit you again next time we leave town.”

“Lara was great! Our puppy had an awesome time at her place exploring around the property. She was very accommodating and provided us with photo updates of our little guy.”

“Christina and Daniel were great with our two pups! Our Bishon and ShihTzu were well taken care of, and got lots of play time with their little boys and 2 Doodles! Even though our ShihTzu was out of his element, and was a bit naughty, they handled it with lots of grace and patience! We would recommend them for dogs that are used to a busy family, little kids and playful Doodles!! ❤️”


About: I’ve grown up with dogs all my life and have experience with different sizes, personalities, and needs. I’ve cared for a range of high energy to low energy and am happy to meet all of their needs. I am a recent graduate from the university and have not yet secured a job, so I will have plenty of time to spend with your pet! I live in an apartment complex with one dog of my own (who loves other dogs). I am home most of the time so I can accommodate any number of needs for your pet easily!
