“We are super happy to have met Kerri and Clint. It is the second time they have taken care of our beloved Nacho in weeks. They gave him a lot of love and care. They shared photos and videos of him with us daily. They give him love, play, walks, treats! Highly recommend them!! Thank you!!!!”
“My wife and I used Diana to watch our dog Molly for a week. This was Molly’s first time away from home and with the videos and text updates we are totally impressed with Diana and we will definitely use her again and would recommend Diana to anyone. Molly adjusted very quickly with Diana and appeared completely relaxed in the videos.”
“Our little furry girl loved staying with Jaclyn and William. She loves children and I always look for sitters with kids and/or dogs. Their house ticked all the boxes. Highly recommend . They love all dogs”

“Willow enjoyed herself so much! We were able to take a much needed family vacation without having to worry as Amber took amazing care of her! This was our first time leaving Willow since we adopted her a few months ago so we were nervous but she was in great hands! We would totally use Amber again if the need for a dog sitter would come up! Thank you Amber for taking such great care of our baby girl!”
“Krysten is phenomenal! Excellent communication, knowledgeable of best practices for overall well being of dogs in her care, walked/biked the pups each day, plenty of cuddles, so many pictures and videos. 12/10 experience overall.”
“Great sitters! They were friendly, communicative, and sent photos and updates throughout our dogs’ stay, including letting us know when they had settled in after drop-off. Pickup was seamless, and having everything ready to go was a huge relief after travel delays and a rushed trip home. We really appreciated the care they provided and would happily book with them again.”
“Our dog had the best time with Steven and his 2 dogs. He sent tons of daily updates about what she was up to. He clearly took care of her like one of his own and she came back cleaner and fluffier than we sent her! Yuki can’t wait to come back and visit another time:)”
“Briana & Brandon were great! Boarded out maltipoo with them over the Christmas holiday, they provided daily updates and photos to ensure me she was doing well. I look forward to utilizing them again for future needs of trustworthy care for our fur baby!”
“Amber was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Jaxon! She watched him for a full week and went above and beyond to make sure he was happy, safe, and well cared for. She sent daily pictures and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear Jaxon was comfortable and well loved the entire time. I would 100% trust Amber again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive dog sitter.”
“SUSAN IS THE BEST!!! There is a reason why she has 22 returning family members. From contact to sitting she was phenomenal, her home is well kept, the backyard is a dog’s dream. Her method of integrating the dogs was spot on and my dog was happy as ever…no issues. I have already booked my dog’s next stay. She has my full trust and confidence.”
“Kevin and Kathleen are seriously the best! They are true pet lovers, take amazing care of our pup, communicate excellently, send lots of pictures and go above and beyond to give our girl the best staycation ever! We are so grateful to have found them and can truly relax while we're gone knowing our pup is being loved and cared for as we would. Couldn't recommend them highly enough!”
“I had a excellent experience with Julie and Jeffery. They were soo nice and provided terrific care for my 8 yr old Pomchi Milo while I was out of town. Sent me daily updates and pictures. Milo got along with their wonderful family immediately. Will definitely book with them again in the future! Thx again”
“DJ spoiled my boys and treated them as his own. They loved all their walks and snuggles. They love being the center of attention and they definitely got all of the attention that they needed. It put me at ease to see all the pictures of them just having a blast (this is the longest I’ve been away from them). I would definitely book another stay with DJ in the future.”

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. 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.
96% of sitters in Blackwater 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 Blackwater 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 Blackwater.
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 Blackwater. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 Blackwater 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.
