“Jessica was a wonderful petsitter for my two dogs! They were clearly well cared for and treated as part of the family. I received daily updates with pictures, which I appreciated. My dogs loved their romp at Jessica's ranch!”
“As always, Tammy was amazing!!!! We appreciate her willingness to work with us on scheduling, the frequent updates, and knowing how well our dogs are treated when they’re with her. Thank you again!”
“This woman was amazing! I can’t say that enough. She’s a dog person and goes above and beyond. She also helped me out with next to no notice. I know any pet you bring to her would be safe and exceptionally cared for. I would absolutely trust her with any of my animals.”
“Taylor took great care of our golden retriever for over two weeks. It’s obvious that she has lots of experience looking after dogs and is a responsible and observant person. She noticed something was wrong with our pup and immediately sprang into action. Our pup loved playing with Apollo and her kids. We felt very assured that Mochi was well taken care of and would recommend Taylor to others. Thank you Taylor!”
About: I have had pets nearly all my life. I cant imagine life without my dog:). My pets are a part of my family and so loved:) I am currently on summer break. During this time i can care for your pet any day of the week. When summer ends I will be available to care for your pet on weekends. I have a country home with a large yard. I will mainly keep your pet inside with me and my 2 very friendly and gentle dogs. I can take your dog on a walk. I can also crate your dog if preferred.
“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!”
About: I have had many pets, including many rescues: dogs,cats,ferrets, hamsters, birds, fish, rats, and guinea pigs. I love my fur babies, and can’t wait yo meet yours! I do require a meet and greet for any boarding in my home, to make sure personalties get along! I'm currently a substitute teacher, so I have a flexible schedule most of the time. Morning visits may be quicker, but my afternoons have more free time to play with your pet ! Due to our current amount of pets(3 dogs, 3 cats, and 2 guinea pigs, I require a meet up in my home prior to any boarding possibilities. I do not want a conflict of pet personalities. They will be well cared for whether in the comfort of their own home or mine!
About: I’ve been around dogs for years and currently have a dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to have someone you can actually trust with your pet. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding schedules, playtime, keeping up with routines, and giving dogs attention without overwhelming them. I’m pretty detail-oriented, so if your dog has a specific schedule, quirks, commands, favorite toys, or things they shouldn’t get into, I’ll follow what you normally do rather than changing their routine. I’m also happy to send pictures and updates so you know how they’re doing while you’re away. I work a regular weekday schedule, but I’m available before and after work, and I have more flexibility on weekends. I’m good about sticking to feeding, walking, medication, and bathroom schedules, so if your dog has a routine, I’ll follow it as closely as possible. I pay close attention to instructions, routines, and anything I should watch for with your dog. I make sure doors, gates, leashes, food, and medications are handled carefully, and I’ll keep you updated while you’re away. I want your dog to feel comfortable without changing what they’re already used to.
“Our dog, Karma, had never spent much time away from us. Lisa was very reassuring, and provided great care. She sent pictures daily which helped us during the separation. We’re thankful to Lisa for providing a loving environment for Karma during our trip.”
“Ayla was great! She was able to take us last minute. She kept me informed and sent pictures through out the stay. My husky really enjoyed himself! Will definitely use her again!”
About: Hi! Available for (much of) Santa Cruz and Cochise Counties, including Ft Huachuca. I grew up on a farm, worked at a vet clinic, and have always had animals and pets when my life permitted. I have a passion for our furry "family members" as well as learning all different types of animal behavior. Dogs, cats, horses, cows, donkeys, fish, and even took care of a camel a time or two. My professional and athletic life has taken me around the world, and frankly, caring for pets of family, friends and neighbors throughout the years has still always been a most gratifying highlight! I have the patience and energy to match dogs of all temperaments, so let me know how I can support you and your family! If my profile is visible, it means I have plenty of time to help out with your furry family members, be it pet-sitting, walking, or just checking in on them. I have a highly-flexible schedule and a vehicle large enough to crate/transport if needed. As far as housesitting, depending on the proximity, would be flexible on either daily check-in and/or possibly overnights. Please reach out in advance to discuss. I live on a large ranch but do prefer to keep them leashed when walking (until I know they heel well AND to keep YOU more confident). I'm flexible on this based on consults with you. They would sleep indoors, and if you prefer, I could easily crate as well. Non-smoking home. You can bet I'll treat them as my own!

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Whetstone can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Whetstone home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Whetstone.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Whetstone. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Whetstone sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in AZ ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
