About: I love animals and I will provide a safe, structured home with clear boundaries, like no kitchen access, so pups stay happy, safe and secure. I'm available for boarding weekdays and weekends after 3 p.m. I work full-time remote, so I can give your pups regular potty and play breaks. I have a fence yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur babies happy. I will always have fresh water to hydrate your baby.
“Julie has a great environment for your pet to play relax and enjoy in. She was very kind and attentive to both of my golden retrievers and thoroughly enjoyed playing with her dog penny. I will definitely use her services again and feel very confident in leaving my dogs with her and in good care thank you again, Julie!”
“We are so happy with Kerri and Clint. Our dogs have never been left before with anyone. One was bashful but our poodle fit right in and enjoyed playing with the other dogs. If we are in the area again we will surely contact Rover and set up with Kerri and Clint.”
“Natalie and Ricardo were wonderful with our cats! Everything went exactly as planned, and they also took amazing photos of our cats, which we really appreciated. It gave us peace of mind knowing our cats were in such good hands. We highly recommend them and would happily book with them again!”
“I was so nervous leaving my pup to a stranger but I couldn’t be any more happy with James and his family watching over my pup! My pup is so attached to me and is picky with the people he interacts with but he was so happy and calm when I got him back. I received constant updates on how he was doing and a lot of pictures, which I was happy with. Definitely making them my regular go-to-fam to watch my pup!:) Thank you again for watching Prince Jameson, see you soon!”
“Megan was great with Mac. Ive only had him a few weeks, so I wasnt sure how he would do at daycare, but Megan has a real way with dogs. Everything went well and Mac got to get some exposure to kids and other dogs.”
“Definitely will be returning. I was worried about leaving my dogs at first because they're usually the only dogs at the sitters house, but Susan made me feel at ease updating me pictures that they're doing ok and ok with the other dogs. Honestly one of the best sitter we have had in AZ”
“Jennifer was very responsive and took good care of my dog. They received us well and sent me pictures. Her kids ensured that my dog had a good time. I will definitely consider leaving my dog again. Thank you Jennifer.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life (22 years), so I am very comfortable interpreting their behaviors and handling them in a way that makes them feel the most safe and comfortable. I know how to take care of puppies that require patience and consistency because I have two of my own at home. I also have a senior dog at home so I know how to be extra gentle and attentive with them because I know they might need extra care and love. I treat every dog like they are my own and make sure that they always feel loved, comfortable, and understood! I currently do not have any other job which means that I have plenty of free time to take care of your furry friends. I am mostly available on the weekdays unless I am booked with another rover buddy! Right now I offer daytime care, so you can come by my house to drop off your pets for potty breaks, fresh water, and some playtime and attention. I want to make sure all pets feel loved, comfortable, and cared for in my home!
“Robyn is fantastic! She is easy to communicate with, and I appreciate the willingness to take my girls on shorter notice. My dogs felt right at home there, having the perfect balance of snuggles and playtime. Her dogs were very welcoming too.”
“Hi Sarah, we still want to do an overnight practice for the dogs on Saturday, July 15th. We have more trips in Aug and Nov. we have decided to use the guy who comes to our house for July 19-25 so we didn’t need to worry so close to our trip.”

I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate pet visits throughout the day and provide consistent care. I am available for drop in visits, feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship, and I can adjust my schedule to meet a pet's specific needs. I enjoy spending time with animals and am committed to making sure they receive attentive and dependable care while their owners are away When caring for pets in a client's home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure. I follow all instructions provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication administration (if needed), and any special care requirements. I make sure pets have fresh water, receive plenty of attention and affection, and have a clean environment. I also provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are being well cared for while they are away. My goal is to keep pets happy, safe, and as stress free as possible in their familiar surroundings
“Melissa and her family took great care of our 1st-timers! They were clearly well-cared for and even received a mini spa day while they were there for the day. We would definitely visit them again!”
“Wonderful visit and great communication, appreciate all the effort that went into making Boudreaux feel right at home. Would definitely recommend and use again!”

“Pamela was absolutely amazing with our dog and made the entire experience stress-free. She was very responsive, kept us updated with messages and photos, and made us feel completely comfortable leaving our dog in her care. It was obvious our dog was well cared for and happy the whole time. We would absolutely use her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and truly love caring for them. I grew up with dogs since my family bred Labs so I’ve had experience with puppies all the way through senior dogs. Over the years I’ve also had beagles, labs, and bichons, so I’m comfortable with a variety of breeds and personalities. My husband Kevin and I are both big animal lovers, and he helps me provide a safe, attentive, and loving environment for every pet we care for. Your dog will be treated like part of our family while they’re with us. I work from home during the week, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, supervision, and playtime throughout the day. We’re also home most weekends, so your pet will rarely be left alone. We have a secure, walled backyard with turf and pavers, plus a covered patio area so pets can stay cool and comfortable, especially during warmer days. Our neighborhood is very dog friendly, and I’m happy to take your dog on walks if that’s part of their routine.
“This couple was so easy to work with! They were so kind and accommodating to our busy and unpredictable schedule. Duke had a blast getting to play fetch on a large property and is now one worn out puppy dog. We will definitely rebook!!!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Blackwater on Rover is $27.75 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care 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 Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Blackwater commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 862 sitters in Blackwater, 89% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
