“We highly recommend them!! Kerri, Clint, and Driveshaft have such a loving caring home. We heard from them everyday and received pictures of Murdoc happy and comfortable. Thank you for taking care of our old man and helping make our first Rover experience amazing!”
“They were very accommodating and my dog had a great time ! He had the greatest time that when I took him home he was almost depressed lol. They treated him like family and sent pictures every so often. I would definitely 10/10 would recommend!”
“Amberae and her family were the perfect fit for our pups, even our deaf aussie! They took amazing care of them and we won't hesitate to leave our babies in their care again.”
“Reggie loves Baylee and her family, and she was a great sitter. She sent tons of pictures, and when I went to pick him up he wanted to stay, literally. I will 100% be using her again her family is great.”
“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!”
“HIGHLY RECOMMEND! too bad they won’t let you love 10+ starts. Seriously… my wife and I were so stressed, our dog sitter bailed last minute. We downloaded rover one day before our trip and we found Marianna ready and willing to care of our girl. Constant updates, and photos! It was awesome being on vacation not having a single worry about Lily! Will be booking with Marianna for every trip moving forward.”
“Lisa and her family made both of my pups feel right at home :) One of my pups is basically a couch potato but the other one loves playing with her pup, Norbert :) She sent me pics and video so I knew they were happy and I had peace of mind, knowing they were cared for! Thank you Lisa!”
“Our first stay with Mallory, and only the second time we have utilized Rover for dog sitter care. We could not be more pleased with the loving care and attention our two doggies received. The daily updates and photos were very much appreciated during our away time. We will seek dog sitter care with Mallory for all our future needs. We heartily recommend Mallory for Rover Sitter care. Thanks Mallory!”
“Faith is awesome!! She took great care of Benson and he was a happy boy while he stayed with her and when we brought him home. We’re thankful for the updates she sent and for her great communication with us. Would definitely have Benson stay with her again in the future!”
“Suzy and her family were extremely accommodating to our travel schedule, treated our three dogs like they were their own and gave us the peace of mind that our pups were being cared for while we were away. I’d recommend Suzy and her family, hands down.... no question!”
“Every element one can think of relevant to caring for a loved dog is present in Susan's house and her attitude. Facilities: Large, clean, interesting backyard with a swimming pool - available to dogs! - and places for dogs to investigate or hide. Play toys abound; Lots of stimulation Her borders are welcome inside her house, yet her house is immaculately clean and organized. Care: Susan, without a doubt, loves dogs. She talks to her borders, plays with them and, with a gentle voice, sorts out the odd dog squabble; she is organized and takes the time to know her borders. Her service rates a 10/10 without a doubt.”
“Christanna is an amazing person who has the perfect heart for caring for dogs! I know my pup can be a lot, and I ran into a few car issues coming back from my trip, she was very understanding! She communicated in a clear, timely, and well-spoken manner. Fantus was extremely happy and I could tell he felt at home with her. She has a pretty big back yard too, so if your dog needs that, she's the one! To emphasize the feeling at home point, he usually doesn't eat well when he is in a new location and he had no issue eating for her. You can without a doubt leave your pup with her and know that they will be fully loved and safe!”
“Thank you so much for taking such great care of Bruno! As first time puppy parents, we were definitely a little nervous, but you made the entire experience completely stress free. We loved receiving updates and knowing he was in such good hands. It was clear that he was well cared for, loved, and comfortable while we were away. We truly appreciate everything you did and wouldn’t hesitate to book with you again. Thank you for treating Bruno like one of your own!”

“Victoria and Randy were wonderful and took very very good care of my little dog while boarding him for 5 nights. I thank them so much for their awesome caring service.”
“First off, Elena was super communicative and responsive in a timely manner. She went above and beyond to take care of my pups and kept me informed if anything out of the ordinary happened. Elena was flexible and accommodating. I could not recommend her as your next dog sitter anymore. She genuinely cares about dogs and will treat them as if they were her own.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Pradnya & Rohan while they cared for Goldie. They kept me updated with pictures and messages every day, making us feel completely at ease. Goldie was well cared for, happy, and loved, and it was clear she enjoyed her stay. When we picked her up, she looked amazing and had obviously been treated like family. We are so grateful for the excellent care and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”

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.
97% of sitters in Cactus Forest 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 Cactus Forest 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 Cactus Forest.
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.

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.
