What Arizona pet parents say
Real reviews from Google
"Heather Schroeder takes care of giving sub Q fluids to my kitties. She’s exceptional at making it a comfortable experience for them. She’s extremely gentle with them.. so much so that they occasionally jump up on her lap for their turn!! She’s definitely a true “cat whisperer!”❤️"
"I worked with tech Heather daily over a period of months as she assisted with getting medication into my uncooperative cat who was fighting lymphoma. I found her to be capable and knowledgeable as well as caring/compassionate and reliable. Highly recommend."
"Brooke Andrus is patient, kind, knowledgeable, and conscientious. She watches my cat who is very spicy when I am not home. Brooke always sends me videos, so I can relax on vacation and know that my precious fur baby is safe. She also takes care of washing the food bowls and cleaning the litterbox. I highly recommend Brooke to everyone!!"
"Alee R. watched my two dogs while I was out of town and she was fantastic! Very quick to communicate with me and she was great at sending me pics throughout my trip. I felt like my animals were in great hands with her and I will be using her in the future!"
"Martha watched my great dane a lil while back. Not only is he a handful with anxiety and skin issues, but he’s also HUGE. Many sitters aren’t comfortable with all of that but it has never deterred Martha. and having my baby with somebody I trust, gives me peace of mind. Not to mention my pup loved her! Highly recommend Martha for any of your pets needs! She’s the best!!"
"Martha was amazing!! She kept updated on how my dogs were doing while I was away!! I recommend going with her because she’s keeps me up to date with what is going on with my fur-babies and is very easy to trust. 1000% recommend!"
Frequently asked questions
How do I know I can trust my pet sitter in Tucson?
Every VetterCare veterinary professional is experienced and background-checked, not just anyone who signed up on an app. We match you directly and stay involved, so you're not relying on a stranger's self-written profile.
What's the difference between VetterCare and a pet-sitting app?
Those platforms are directories — you're choosing between profiles written by the sitters themselves, with no clinical training required. Everyone who cares for your pet through VetterCare is a veterinary professional, trained to notice things a general pet sitter wouldn't, like early signs of illness or stress.
How much does pet sitting cost in Tucson?
Pricing depends on visit length, frequency, and your location. You'll get a clear quote before booking — no surprise charges.
What happens if my pet needs medical attention while I'm away?
Because your sitter is a veterinary professional, they're trained to recognize when something's wrong and can act quickly — coordinating with your vet if needed, not just noticing a problem after the fact.
Will I get updates while I'm away?
Yes. Your veterinary professional sends photo updates while you're away, so you know how your pet is doing.
Can my sitter give my pet medication?
Yes. Our veterinary professionals are trained and comfortable handling medication as part of a normal visit, not as a special add-on.
Which parts of Tucson do you serve?
Our Tucson veterinary professionals live across the city: Central, East, West, South, and Southeast Tucson, plus Catalina near Oro Valley. We also serve Marana and Vail. Not sure we cover your street? Call (520) 505-8811 or start a booking and we'll let you know.
