“Simply the best pet sitter around! Kaite always took amazing care of my pup and treated her like family. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing I could completely trust and count on her every time we were away. She was reliable, caring, communicative, and clearly loves animals. My dog was always happy, comfortable, and well cared for with her. We truly couldn’t recommend Katie enough — thank you for everything you’ve done for our family and our pup!”

“We were very happy to have Katelyn watch our dogs. She was very prompt, responsive and sent many pictures our way during their stay. It’s obvious Katelyn is a real dog (pet) lover and enjoys what she’s doing. We will definitely call her again. Thank you much, Katelyn❤️”

“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’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.

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: Hi! I'm Becca, a Tucson dog mom who genuinely loves spending time with dogs of all ages and personalities. I know every dog has their own routine, and I'm happy to stick to whatever helps them feel comfortable. Whether your pup needs a long walk, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or medication, I'm here to make sure they're well cared for while you're away. My goal is simple: to treat your dog like part of my own family so you can relax knowing they're in good hands. I can schedule for walks or drop-ins before and after work (morning and evenings). I have open availability most weekends for house sitting or boarding. I have a 3 bedroom split level house. My home is a clean, comfortable space where dogs can relax and feel at ease. I have one dog of my own and make sure introductions are done carefully so everyone feels safe.

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

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.

Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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, 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.

<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.

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 , 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 .

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.
