Dog Boarding in Phoenix

“I’ve used Rover three times before and by far Zinnia is my favorite! I will be a repeat customer. She has a great setup with an enclosed backyard and is wonderful with both people and animals. Zinnia cares and it shows. I was recovering from a surgery and needed to add some days. Her customer service is truly 100% plus! Sapphire had fun and was very well cared for, thank you.”

“Ridley was well taken care of during his stay. We received daily updates of him playing and exercising as he can get pent up energy. Ezra is knowledgeable and you can tell he has a passion for animals. We asked for some extra attention for Ridley and he delivered even more than expected!!”

“Mitchell is incredible. Not only was he super accommodating, with a fantastic home and environment for my puppy, but he was also consistently communicative, proactive, and most importantly amazing prepared and incredibly knowledgeable. From his overall demeanor and presence, to how he handles and treats not just my puppy but all the dogs he was caring for at the time, you can tell Mitchell knows what he’s doing and does it well. He was able to not just care for, but actually train and help cultivate an incredible environment for my puppy’s growth. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, and he will be the only sitter I use moving forward after my first experience with him.”

“Evelyn sent me regular updates and made sure my dog felt comfortable. She took good care of him when I had to board him while I was out of town. Would definitely book her in the future if I need someone to watch him again.”

“Monica was fantastic! She was so well organized and created a happy mood right off the bat. Our puppy came home shampooed and brushed smelling better than she ever has. Great pictures were sent consistently showing the loving care she offered and the happy atmosphere of her home. It was evident that our dogs got along well. Monica's location was ideal. The whole experience was just perfect.”

“Marina is awesome! You can tell that she loves dogs and understands their unique temperaments. She sent many pictures and videos during my pup’s stay, which were always a treat. Also, she has the most beautiful, big, grassy backyard for the dogs to play in. My pup came home happy and tired, which is always a good sign. Thank you, Marina!”

About: I’m excited to fulfill my fervent passion for caring for fluffy companions while making your family’s life easier! Given that I'm building clientele, here’s $20 off your first booking with Rover in exchange for your feedback: https://www.rover.com/sit/susanb60924 I aim to provide you and your dearest pet with the best experiences and outcomes to ensure they’re happy, healthy, and safe in any environment. My communication will be clear, and follow-ups will be provided promptly. I look forward to developing a special bond and doting on your beloved pet! tl;dr: You’ll notice that my profile is robust, which is intentional because 1) I want to ensure that I’m a good fit for your family and pet’s needs, and 2) It’s essential to have a thorough and holistic view of your pet to ensure you’ll have peace of mind and assurance while you’re away. Experience: My entire life, I’ve gravitated to all creatures, big and small, and I finally have the opportunity to indulge my love of pets while helping others simultaneously! My professional background in the corporate digital technology industry and 40+ years of personal experience caring for animals is rooted in growing up in a rural Midwestern farming community. My earliest memories consist of helping my parents raise and train award-winning show and service dogs for people who have disabilities, breeding and showing Clydesdales, loving on my cats/kittens, and tending to countless aquatic and insect friends. Even though I’m allergic to all animals, except for dogs, you’d still find me frolicking in nature, surrounded by farm animals/livestock, obsessively studying and doting on my animal family and other cherished critters. While living in Chicago, I volunteered at PAWS (the Midwest’s largest non-profit no-kill animal shelter). I consistently travel locally and cross-country to pet sit for friends and family and never pass up an opportunity to be in the company of the most precious and bestest boys/girls (of the animal species, that is). Due to diligently catering to my pets, I have robust awareness and knowledge and am tremendously experienced with all aspects of a pet’s life, personality, and needs: puppies, seniors, rescues, special needs, terminal illness, parasitic/intestinal ailments, medications and administering subcutaneous fluid IVs (renal failure), food allergies, specialized diets/restrictions, treating other medical conditions, training, behavioral issues, and grooming/hygiene best practices. About my pets: My sassy and exuberant silky terriers (previously Miss Addi and now, 2-1/2-year-old Tater Tot) have been/are always by my side. Each moved interstate with us—living the city life in Chicago, then coastal Southern California, and now Phoenix. We’ve created countless joy-filled memories exploring and adventuring (road trips to national parks, vacationing in cities, visiting friends, dining out, extended sniff-patrol strolls, hiking in the mountains, camping, walks on the beach, kayaking, and boating). While living in CA, unfortunately, Miss Addi endured Cushing’s syndrome and started experiencing strokes and seizures. Shortly after moving to AZ, she was then diagnosed with terminal renal failure. We were determined and committed to giving her the most comfortable and best life possible. The final two years of her journey required around-the-clock monitoring, regimented medical interventions, and customized care. While it was such a gut-wrenching experience, we diligently researched, sought out experts, and immersed ourselves in learning about the intricacies of senior/emergency/end-of-life hospice care and how to grieve and cope with the loss of a beloved companion. She lived a full life, we celebrated her 16th birthday and she chose to pass over the rainbow bridge later the same day. A month later, Tater Tot joined our little family. Though he has experienced his fair share of shenanigans at an early age, he is such a resilient, demure, and cheerful little fella! We love him to pieces; he is simply the best! Further Context: I truly empathize and understand the level of decision-making that goes into finding trustworthy, quality care for your beloved companions. Since Rover’s inception, I’ve relied on its service model (as a consumer) due to limitations with traditional dog boarders, and it often wasn’t an ideal solution for my dog’s needs. While we’ve had extremely positive experiences with daycare/boarding facilities, we’ve also dealt with miscommunication, irresponsible and dangerous situations that resulted in stress-induced weight loss, neglect, behavioral issues, illness, and emergency vet visits. With thorough vetting, Rover gave me peace of mind that my most precious family member’s well-being and special needs were prioritized while catering to my busy schedule and last-minute travel engagements. Rover allowed me to move seamlessly through the demands of life and was instrumental while transitioning to new cities. I am grateful for the Rover Petting community and their continued care for my fur babies throughout all phases of their lives. My schedule is flexible, and I am more than happy to work together on a mutually agreed upon routine and care plan for your pet. For short-term stays/overnight boarding at my residence, please consider the following. Household members: - My Partner works remotely. He grew up with golden retrievers, golden doodles, and many other pets and sincerely loves all animals. He is kind-natured and has years of experience caring for and watching friends and family pets. - Tater Tot, our 2-1/2-year-old Silky Terrier, completed private 1:1 obedience training with a professional, certified, and highly reviewed dog trainer. Same for Miss Addi. - Fully vaccinated, receives tic/flea guard and preventative heartworm medications - Tater Tot responds to basic commands, plays well with dogs, and acts politely around humans and other animals. He is highly adaptable in all environments, walks well on a leash, is comfortable on car rides, and is potty-pad/crate-trained. - We do not give our pets people food/snacks due to health/diet restrictions. However, let us know if your pups love partaking in human foods! Living conditions and details: - Secure 2,000 sq. ft. residence in a gated multi-unit living community - Single floor plan layout is kept clean and sanitary - Puppy-proofed (bedrooms can be gated off, and there's enough space for a small pen enclosure/crate in the living area) - There are two small balconies with 3 ft high railings. We created a dedicated potty area on one of the balconies. - We DO NOT have an adjacent/walkout yard - An elevator or four small flights of stairs are required for walks outside - There is a doggy run/area on the property, but it does not meet our quality control standards - The neighborhood is dog-friendly and walkable. It’s comprised of a mix of residential homes, multi-unit complexes, shops, and restaurants. - Weather permitting, walks to Hance Park are ~1 mi. away

“Amazing They were the best! They watched Milo & Missy and sent videos and pictures daily. I would book with them again. They did a meet & greet prior to my booking, which really helped with Milo & Missy time with them. Thank you both again!!! I appreciated all the updates daily.”

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter For over 20 years, I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for my dear friend’s three dogs. I cared for her two Maltese, Biggie and Moose, throughout their lives, and now I’ve been looking after her Maltipoo, Couscous, since she was just 10 weeks old—she’s now 6. I was the only person she trusted to watch her pups, and I treated them as if they were my own. I always made sure they felt at home in my care—half of their belongings were kept at my house, and they came with me everywhere. As they reached their senior years, I also administered medications with patience and consistency. Being a lifelong animal lover, I understand how important it is to give pets not only reliable care, but also affection, companionship, and comfort. I pride myself on treating every “fur baby” as family, because that’s exactly how I see them. I work from home as a recruiter, which gives me a flexible schedule to provide pet care Monday through Friday, as well as weekends. I’m available for drop-in visits to your home, or I can welcome your fur baby (dog or cat) into my home for boarding while I work from home. I live in a midrise apartment community, with a park across the street and plenty of other areas around the community to walk the pups who enjoy strolls and fresh air. Inside, your pets will be welcomed into a safe and cozy space. I do share my home with a sweet 1 year-old Siamese kitten, but I’m happy to crate pups if needed and can adjust to whatever helps your fur baby feel comfortable. Whether it’s dogs or cats, I’m open to your requests and will do my best to make their stay feel like home.
