“Bailey had so much fun with staying with Weslie, her husband and dog Chesney! Weslie was so nice and sent pictures of Bailey swimming in their pool for the day she stayed with them! I would definitely recommend them to watch your pet and am excited to use them again the next time I need a dog sitter!”
“Tiffany took great care of our dog while we were away. Our dog can be nervous around new people and dogs but warmed up very quickly to Tiffany and Tilly! We got photos each day along with a little update. No concerns, and we would definitely ask Tiffany to watch him again.”
“Outstanding! Carlee was so great to work with. She is a great communicator and she went out of her way to prepare for and care for our pup. He came home happy and healthy—we will definitely use Carlee again in the future.”
“Diane has a lovely dog-friendly home. She took time to get aquatinted with Daisy. And most importantly, Daisy was happy and healthy when I picked her up. I wold definitely leave Daisy with Diane in future.”
“I've had my dog Finn for nearly 2 years. I got him when he was 9, so there is a lot about his early years that I don't know. He's my first dog, so I take great pride in helping him live his best life. Prior to him coming into my life, I would usually take two weeks off in August to attend the Sturgis motorcycle rally. My pet arrangements fell through last year (hadn't engaged any sitters from Rover), thus, I wasn't able to go. So this year I found Brooke through Rover. I had met one other Rover sitter, but Finn just didn't vibe with that person. We met with Brooke and I knew things were going to be alright. She and her family did an awesome job with Finn! She sent pics each day to let me know how he was doing. I was able to relax and have a great vacation. I would definitely board Finn with Brooke again!”
“Kevin was great with Arjie! I dropped him off in an emergency over the weekend, and I was glad to have picked him! He gave frequent updates, sent photos, and I could tell that Arjie had a great time. I could also tell that Kevin really loves dogs, as Arjie is very hyperactive, and Kevin seemed to enjoy working with him and gave Arjie a warm, comfortable environment for the weekend. Really impressed and will definitely book him again!!”
“Ryan is AMAZING!!! We last minute decided we needed a sitter before our 5 night trip and found Ryan immediately. I was so nervous to leave her with a new person but right after speaking with Ryan and checking out his place I knew he was going to be the best sitter for her and how much fun she would have! He was so communicative, attentive, and personable throughout. With all the pictures and videos I got I could tell Millie was having the time of her life!! Ryan has become our new favorite sitter and Millie’s new best friend.”
“Veronica was amazing. She took great care of our dog Birdie while we were out of town. She made us feel super comfortable and provided excellent care of our pup. She kept us updated everyday we were gone and even monitored our dogs eating habits as she gets a little anxious when we are away. She went above and beyond to make sure us and our dog were comfortable and we really appreciate her. We will definitely be using her again next time we go out of town.”
“Peace of mind! First three words that come to mind with Mitch. From the very start of the process (which was all new for us), Mitch had been informative, responsive and reassuring. We met for an introduction to ensure we were comfortable as well as Murphy (the puppy) and Mitch himself. This was our longest time away from Frankie and we didn't want to leave him at a kennel or anything like that and friends/family wasn't an option because we were getting married :) With that being said, peace of mind was exactly what we needed. We received photo and video from Mitch without asking and it was a highlight of our days away from him. The dogs got along great and you could tell they would miss one another once we arrived for pick-up. Mitch accommodated for drop-off (slightly early the night before) and for pick-up (also slightly early but later in the evening). All-in-all, we are completly happy and we will definiltey be reaching out to Mitch and Murphy the next time we need a safe space for Frankie; in the least, a play-date soon! We highly recommend Mitch! Read his bio and his reviews, you'll see exactly what we did. Thanks again, Mitch!”
“I had such a great experience booking with Kelli. She agreed to do a meet and greet first which really put my mind at ease, as I have had a few not great experiences booking since I moved to Phoenix. Her senior dog Dottie is so sweet and got along well with my dog. I love the Kelli has experience with senior dogs, as my dog just turned 11. Kelli was communicative, easy to schedule with and sent me daily pictures/updates which helped me relax and enjoy my trip. I’ll definitely be booking again, so glad to have finally found a good sitter here!”
“Tina was the perfect sitter to have for my 3 year old pup who had only ever been watched by family and friends. She was attentive to all of his needs and his schedule, as well as making me feel that he was perfectly fine while I was away. Her daily updates made the whole experience worry-free! I would definitely use Tina as a a dog sitter again in the future!”
About: I am one of the biggest animal lovers!! I find all animals adorable and fun and I would love to help out in any way possible. I have had a ton of experience with dogs! I have had 3 of my own as well as dog-sitting and taking care of family members dogs, neighbors, and friends. I also have a lot of experience with cats. I have grown up with family cats and I own my own 3 year old tuxedo male as well! I am currently working part time and am also a master's student at Fordham. With mostly remote classes and working only part-time, I am home a lot and have a lot of free time during my day! I live in an apartment near many different parks, so I have many locations where I can bring them. I also have the space to crate any animals as needed.
“Chantell was awesome! We did the meet and greet first which went smoothly. When we dropped them off, she had a structured introduction to the other dogs which made us feel really comfortable. Got some pictures along the way and when we picked them up, they were happy and tired from all of the playing. Would definitely book her again!”
“Our 9 year old Lab had a blast during his 8 night stay! He was certainly loved and cared for. Don't think he wanted to leave! Great communication and flexible! We'll be using Eric and Christina again for sure!”
“Evan was great and very accommodating. He helped us out with our last minute booking! We were in a real jam when our usual sitter fell through, he really helped us out! Our pups will definitely be going back to stay with Evan in the future.”
“Adrian and Paulo took great care of Raven during her stay. They were welcoming, responsive, and made me feel comfortable leaving her with them. It was clear she had a great time, when she got back home, she was completely exhausted and slept like a rock from playing so much with their dogs. That’s always a good sign she felt happy and comfortable. I’d definitely trust them with Raven again and recommend them to anyone looking for reliable sitters.”
“Cynthia is kind, patient and was great with my rambunctious dog. Assured me everything would be fine and kept me updated while I was out of town. I absolutely recommend”

If you’re looking for a dog sitter, she is YOUR person! We were honestly a little nervous because our pup, Luke hadn’t stayed with someone new in a long time, but the moment we arrived we felt completely at ease. Her home was warm, welcoming, and clearly a great environment for dogs and Luke walked right in like he belonged there. 😂 From the start she was kind and communicative, and while we were away she sent daily photos that made our whole family smile! We could tell he was being loved and cared for like her own and he came home happy, calm, and totally himself. That kind of peace of mind is priceless. You can truly trust her with your pup, we will absolutely be booking with her again. Highly recommend! 🐾
Brenda did a great job watching our dog for over a week. She was fantastic with accommodating our dog the entire time - from letting us do a meet and greet to managing her medication schedule, she was very trustworthy and kept our dog safe and happy while we were out of town. She even let our dog sleep on her bed. She also sent pictures/updates throughout and was very responsive whenever we reached out to her. She went out of her way to make the drop off and pick up process a breeze for us, which was really appreciated. We will definitely use Brenda the next time we need a dog sitter. Thank you Brenda!!

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
