“Roseanne watched my dog Pete and was just wonderful. She made him feel at home and went out of her way to help him adjust. She gave me regular updates and photos which reassured me he was with a caring person. I felt very comfortable leaving Pete in her care and would rely on her again on another occasion.”
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.
“Kaitlyn and her family took great care of our two dogs. She sent pictures and made us feel at ease while we were not with them. We will definitely book her again in the future.”
“Great experience using this service. Darlene was great and took great care of Nico. Our dog was very relaxed and comfortable with her. It was an overall great experience. Will definitely use her again.”
About: Hey! Mark and Kendall here 🐾 We want to walk your dog!! We're looking for more ways to get fresh air, as well as the lovely fulfillment that comes from playing with animals, and honestly we could use the exercise! lol. I have a bunch of dog toys too - let me know what game they like to play the most (frisbee, catch, tug-of-war) or if they're just chill and more snuggly- that's no problem either! We live in a residential home that has a large backyard with a pool, and even a doggy door [fits up to large dogs]! We are both animal lovers of all kinds, and are needing some doggo/kitty time. With 2 intentional animal care takers, your pet will surely have all the pets, mental stimulation, emotional connection, and exercise they can get! We are both available full-time for the moment and are eager to fill our time warming our hearts and helping our community <3 {Kendall} Having grown up with dogs my whole life, I've grown such an attachment to having a bundle of joy around. My family recently moved and brought the dogs with them. So living without pets for the past 8 months made me realized how important it is for me to care for loving lil sweethearts. Besides raising multiple dogs growing up, my pet sitting experience is limited to petting sitting my family-friend's dogs on several occasions. I'm able to walk dogs, feed them medicine, I almost always get dogs to warm up to me, especially through playing frisbee, catch, or tug-of-war! I also love a good relax time with the dogs, I can usually match the dogs vibe pretty well. {Mark} Hello all Im Mark, just like Kendall i have also grown up in a house with at least 1 dog present. I naturally get along with animals very well and try to give them a safe and comfortable space to be in. I will often times play the acoustic guitar in the house and al ot of the dogs ive done that around love to just lay near the music and relax, my familys bulldog would be a good example as he loves laying next to me while I play. Im excited to meet your pets! - Marky and Kenny Bear <3 My partner and I are full-time artists living in a spacious residential home. We're currently living at home full-time - which is a perfect opportunity to pet sit! We do leave the house about once a day (for groceries, events, dates, etc.) though someone may still be home. We also occasionally have people over, though they're almost all pet owners or vet techs. Also, every couple months we travel out of state to visit with family (and get out of the Phoenix heat!) Though since it's cooling down, we want to get outside and enjoy the nice weather, especially with a cutie bean of a pet! {Kendall} I'm an artist and part-time online reseller. My days often look like watering the garden, creating art at my desk or editing videos on my computer, listing items for sale online, as well as cook and clean. I do have friends over occasionally, though no worries- most of my friends are vet-techs believe it or not, or at least multiple-pet owners themselves. {Mark} I'm a musician who's recently produced an improvisational album and am currently working on distributing and releasing it to the public, as well as filming music videos. My days look like playing guitar for hours, working on my computer, watching football, and honestly playing video games. I've had a full-time job most of my life, but very recently switched to owning my own schedule. I'd be truly happy to care for a lil creature in the meantime! We are looking to fill our time directed towards caring for sweet animals, helping our community, and getting fresh air & exercise while doing it! We have a lovely, clean and spacious home with a fenced backyard. We have a doggy door, treats, a bunch of toys, a dog bed, and even a pool! There are no other animals who live here, which may benefit certain animals. We live in a lovely gated neighborhood to walk them in. Better yet (if you're okay with it), there's a glorious concrete and dirt trail along Sonoran Desert Drive that we already love walking on, might as well walk a dog too! We're excited to play with doggos, walk them, even swim with them! We're also excited to relax by the fireplace, listen to acoustic guitar or piano, or even cat nap in the sunlight glow in the courtyard. We're aware of more than just their basic needs, especially with a loving and conscious couple like us caring for your pet, we will ensure routine food, water, and exercise, as much as playtime, mental & emotional engagement, and intuitive attentiveness.
“Junyeong and June took wonderful care of our Beagle. They took her on walks twice a day, provided us with daily updates, photos and videos and had great communication. We were able to meet them and their sweet dog before Daisy stayed there. Daisy came home happy and relaxed.”
“Shushma and her family are very nice and we were very comfortable having our pet stay at her home. Simba is super friendly and got along great with our dog right away! We appreciated all the pictures too 😊”

“My 2 dogs had a 10 day stay with Julia. She provided daily updates and took great care of the dogs. My pups came home very well cared for while we were gone. This is our second booking with Julia and I am sure there will be more.”
“Analyssa is very nice and professional, good with my dogs who never stayed away from home with a stranger. Analyssa did great with communication and always respected our requests. She was very conscientious and took care to listen and get to know about our dogs. She provided regular updates and pictures with feedback. It was great to have Analyssa keep our dogs and we recommend her highly!”
“I am so glad I found Richard! He took great care of my two dogs. He responded very quickly to my texts and had a comfortable home for them. It made my vacation so much more pleasant getting frequent photos and updates, knowing the girls were in good hands.”
“Alec really cared for my dog, Clover. When we had a meet and greet a couple months ago I could tell Clover was going to be in good hands. Clover was happy and well-cared for when I returned. I appreciated the photos and updates during the week. I would definitely have Alec look after Clover again.”
“My senior dog, Binny, was well taken care of and in good hands. Sipeng was also very accommodating with our schedule and changes we needed to make. He sent us pictures, and our dog did not want to leave! We will rebook in the future!”
“Jui Hsin C. was amazing with Finn! She sent me daily updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that she genuinely cared for him and took excellent care of him the entire time. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.”
“Bryanna did a wonderful job taking care of my fur babies, Leo and Roscoe. She treated them like her own and sent several pictures each day so I could see how they were doing. I will definitely use her again.”
“Had already booked for a stay later in the month and Evan was able to accommodate a sooner, last minute stay! Received some cute videos during our time away which were much appreciated! Thanks for taking great care of our pup!”
“Katelyn was awesome! She took great care of Banksy and kept me updated with plenty of pictures, so I never had to wonder how she was doing. Banksy was clearly in great hands. Katelyn responded almost immediately anytime I reached out, and was flexible/helpful to watch her an extra day due to my work schedule. Banksy and I definitely will book again.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Anthem
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!

The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Anthem. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
