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.
“Our dog Tucker bonded with Melinda and her family almost immediately. Her dog Murphy is easy to get along with and was a good companion to Tucker. Melinda walked them regularly, sent us frequent updates and gave Tucker loving care. Melinda is the perfect fit for Tucker and us.”
“Jennifer was a true blessing! Any trips away involve stress, especially when pets and kids are involved! With all that I had to do she offered to pickup AND drop off, Captain. This may not seem to many like much, but to me - it was HUGE! Captain immediately fell in love with her (I know because he peed everywhere)! She kept me posted t/o his stay and even took him on his very first ever walk(s)! He seemed very content with her and came home happy! She also administered his UTI meds and given her schooling, I felt completely comfortable. I will definitely be utilizing her services again!”
“Kaitlyn and crew always make our pup a comfortable and loving place to stay. Thanks for watching and taking care of Lou over the holidays! Merry Xmas and Happy New Year 🥳”
“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.”
“Darlene and her family are AMAZING. We are so fortunate to have found them. They took GREAT care of our Basset Hound Ernie. She kept us updated with pictures and positive notes on how he was doing. We highly recommend her and will be contacting her for all future trips we take.”
“Lyndsey was great, she took very good care of my dogs. Updated me with pics and made me feel very comfortable for leaving my dogs for the first time for a long period of time. I highly recommend her”
“Randy and Kay were fantastic hosts for our two pups! Randy sent photo updates every day. When our weekend travel plans got delayed they were even willing to accommodate our dogs an extra night last-minute. Highly recommend them for dog boarding!”
“Bonita has such a calm, grounding energy, and Benji connected with her immediately. She kept us updated every day with tons of photos of their daily adventures, which made it easy to stay relaxed while we were traveling. And when we arrived, Benji looked so relaxed and content, which says everything. We’re genuinely grateful for the loving care she gave him and would absolutely love to have her as our permanent pet sitter.”
“Rene really knows dogs and has a great manor with them. My dogs felt at home at their first visit and were very comfortable in their house. She was able to give my dog medicine he hates which was impressive. I will definitely be dropping them with Rene again.”
“Erika was very attentive with my two dogs and made them feel at home while away from home. I was given lots of updates and was able to feel at ease while away from my pups. I’d recommend her to anyone!”
“We just had our first stay with Matia and it was fantastic. She sends regular updates, with pictures. I knew Charlie was well taken care of while I was away, and you could tell in the pictures he was happy there. Also, her meet and greet is the most detailed I’ve had before - she really gets to know your dog! I highly recommend Matia! Katherine”
“Our dog, Delilah, had an excellent stay at Jeremy's farm!! She had her own dog run and was able to explore and get exercise when she needed. Jeremy was very knowledgeable and understood her needs. We felt assured that she would be greatly taken care of while we were out of town for a few days. He was very communicative and sent some pictures of her during the stay. We appreciate that he was flexible with our pick-up/drop-off times. We would definitely recommend him to any of our family and friends and look forward to Delilah's next stay!”
“This was our first time leaving our dogs with anyone and we were a little nervous but Melissa and her son took such good care of them and were quick to respond when I had questions! My dogs were well taken care of with lots of love! Thanks again!”
“Oh my gosh, she is the best baby sister ever! My Bowie seems happy and comfortable around Jenny, and happy that my dog gets to move around and play with other dogs. Since Bowie is a pit bull, PetSmart is not the right option.”
“Stephanie was very gracious and was understanding when my plane was delayed on my return. My dog was glad to see me, but not anxious when I picked her up. She obviously enjoyed her stay and was well cared for. The house and yard are immaculate, and her children loved having my dog around. I highly recommend Stephanie.”
“Katie and her family took wonderful care of our 5-year old golden doodle. Our dog came home happy and we didn’t worry for a single second during her stay as she looked so happy in the daily pictures and updates that Katie provided. We 100% would try to book future pet sitting services with Katie and would consider shifting travel dates, if possible and/or necessary, to fit their schedule.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Anthem
Roseanne is absolutely wonderful! She takes care of my dogs as if they were her own. She is very patient and goes the extra mile to make sure they are comfortable. She send pics and feedback daily. We travel often and Roseann is our first choice to care for our dogs!
Debbie and Bill was very attentive and loving with our Furbabies! We are going to start socializing them so that they warm up to people quicker. Daily we would receive updates and pictures numerous times. It put us at ease that we found the perfect sitters. They took them on walks a couple of times a day and let the pups enjoy their fenced in backyard.
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)!
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 of Dog Boarding in Anthem is $43 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $56 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 2,046 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 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 Anthem 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 Anthem 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 Anthem.
<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 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 , 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.
