“We had a great experience with our dog sitter, Wanny! From the beginning, communication was easy and reassuring, and it was clear she truly cares about the dogs she watches. She kept me updated with messages and photos, which made it so much easier to relax while I was away. Norman came happy, relaxed, and clearly cared for. It’s such a relief to have someone we trust with him.We’ll definitely be booking with Wanny again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter.”
“Stella had a great time with Ginny and Andrew! Long walks in the park and lots of attention. What more could a dog want! I will definitely have them watch Stella again.”
“Jason was very easy to communicate and work with. He was flexible with drop off and pick-up time, responsive over text/messaging, and he sent great pictures that made us feel at ease. Highly recommend Jason for boarding!”
About: Hi! I’m a dedicated animal lover and experienced pet caregiver with a home full of personality including my two Shar-Peis (Dior and Hercules) and two tortoises(Cleo and Franklin). Caring for my special needs Shar-Pei Hercules has taught me patience, attentiveness, and how important individualized care is for every pet. I know pets are family, and I treat every animal with the same love, safety, and attention I give my own. Whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, routine, or extra patience, I’m committed to making them feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I work part-time (8 days per month), which allows me to dedicate a large portion of my time to pet care. My daily routine already revolves around caring for my own pets, including two Shar-Peis—one with special needs—and two tortoises. Because of this, I’m experienced in maintaining consistent schedules, providing attentive supervision, and adapting care based on each animal’s individual needs. I’m able to offer dependable, flexible care and give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide a loving, calm, and attentive environment where pets are treated like family. I understand that every animal has different needs, personalities, and routines, and I make it a priority to follow their schedule as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. In my home, pets receive plenty of attention, supervised play, potty breaks, exercise, and affection. I have experience caring for my own two Shar-Peis, including one with special needs, which has taught me patience, awareness, and the importance of individualized care. I also care for two tortoises, giving me experience with animals beyond dogs as well. I’m attentive to behavior, eating habits, and overall comfort, and I’m happy to follow any feeding, medication, or care instructions you provide. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and at home while giving you peace of mind while you’re away.
“Katie has been so great with Finn. She did such a great job to make sure he felt comfortable and safe and gave him the space he needed to get adjusted. She was nothing but loving and kind with him. I also got daily updates with videos and pictures. I knew my dog was in good hands with her.”
“Absolutely AH-MAZING!! Cara, her family and her pup Lucky took such great care of my little 7 month bestie, Rocco, even when Rocco wanted to play way after Lucky was tired! Cara was communicative, and totally on top of everything this little frenchie needed! We can’t wait (Rocco and me) until our next booking with Cara. Would recommend 1000%…. As long as we can still get on her schedule!! 😂”
“Melinda & her family are the best! Our anxious boy had the best time and we never had to worry about him while we were away. We’ve had not great experiences with Rover sitters in the past but we will 1000% be using Melinda again. She will love and spoil your pup like they are her own and she was great at sending pictures and videos!”
“Monna and Clint were wonderful with our pups! They were loving and caring and sent lots of photos that made us so happy! Pups were tired when we got them home so we know they had lots of fun! ❤️”
“Shushma was great! She kept us up-to-date on daily activities and how our dog was doing. I really appreciated all the photos and videos. It was nice to see that our dog was having fun with the other pups. I felt like Lucy was being well taken care of, which helped me to relax and have more fun on our trip. I would highly recommend Shushma, and we plan to use her services again.”
“Amazing!! They were so loving and good to my dogs. They sent pictures and videos and were so responsive. They were also extremely understanding and flexible with schedule adjustments. 10/10 recommend!”
“Mitra is super sweet and was very loving to my little guys, she kept me updated throughout the day, she sent many photos which eased my mind away from them, beautiful house and backyard, I fully recommend you will absolutely love her!”
“Kaitlyn and her family and her family did a wonderful job with our two sheepadoodles while we were on vacation for two weeks. Plenty of pictures and texts were sent including one's with our dogs laying near her kids. I highly recommend Kaitlyn! She'll no doubt be our pick to watch our dogs in the future!”
“She’s definitely a dog person, I have one little stinker in my bunch and he didn’t even bark at her at all when I arrived which Is rare, she sent photos and my dogs were definitely taken care of!”
“Holly was fabulous! She is reliable, friendly, and quick to respond. She sent us pictures and videos of our dogs everyday. Our dogs seemed very happy and comfortable at her house. We can relax knowing our dogs are in good hands with Holly when we are away.”
“Gina and her family made me feel at ease leaving my dog Chubbs in their care. I received many updates and pictures of how much fun Chubbs was having. I made me happy to see Chubbs having such a good time. Chubbs is an English bulldog and need extra attention with daily cleaning of his face folds or he will get an infection. Gina did a wonderful job keeping Chubbs’ face clean dry.”
“Mati is only 4 months old and she is a ton of work, but they were so gentle and patient with her. My two year old is also full of energy, but less work. The dogs were calm and happy when I returned. I would highly recommend them. The dogs were well cared for and individual needs were accommodated. I appreciate their kindness and focus on the well being of my little one as well as caring for the two year old.”

This was Matcha’s second stay with Wanny, and once again she was amazing! She kept us updated with lots of photos and videos and took wonderful care of Matcha. We especially appreciated her patience, attention to detail, and flexibility when our flight was delayed. We’re so grateful that Matcha has such a caring sitter (and a friend in Mellow!). We would absolutely book with her again!
What a warm & loving environment- Missy couldn’t be better adjusted after her 5 night stay over the 4th with Ginny & family. And the sweet artful necklace collar gifted by the girls is adorable! The consideration & kindnesses warm my heart! Thank you, and for sending pics & updates! Missy is snoozing while we have new windows installed… I know she played hard to be this relaxed!
Jennifer is wonderful! She took the time to do a public meet up, so our pups could be introduced on neutral ground. She let us come over prior to boarding, so my pup would feel more comfortable during his stay. In addition to boarding our puppy, she also came to our house to check on and feed our cat. Everything was left just as it was before our trip. She even went above and beyond and took the kitty litter trash outside to our bins. She provided multiple daily updates with pictures and captions of both our boys. They were happy and healthy upon our arrival home! We will definitely be reaching out to her in the future (if she's willing to watch our crazy puppy again)!
We had a great experience with Debbie and Bill! Communication was excellent throughout the entire stay, and they took amazing care of our two beagles. They kept them busy with walks, attention, and plenty of activity. We could tell they were happy and well cared for. Highly recommend!
Vicki and Paul were absolutely amazing taking care of our two dogs for almost a week. We were pretty nervous about leaving them, but Vicki went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable. She sent us daily photos and updates, which meant so much and really helped ease our minds while we were away. It was clear our dogs were being treated with so much love and care—they truly treated them like their own. You can tell they genuinely care about the animals they look after, and that made all the difference for us. We’re so grateful to have found them and would absolutely trust them again in the future. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Anthem on Rover is $41.17 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 2,021 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Anthem. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
95% of Anthem sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Anthem landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Anthem 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 Anthem.
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.
You and your Anthem 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.
