“My girl Arizona had a great time with Kelli and her family! Kelli was very responsive and always assured me Arizona was being well taken care of and enjoying her doggy vacation. She was great at introducing her dogs to mine, and always willing to explain how her house runs. While I was nervous because I've never had to leave my dog with a sitter, after meeting Kelli I was confident that my girl would be safe and have so much fun. We will be back again!”
“Great experience! Our Tutu seemed very happy, and it's nice because Jennifer keeps only one dog at a time along with her own two dogs. So, whatever guest dog is staying gets plenty of attention. Also very accommodating when we were late because of an accident. Will definitely use again.”
“Lacey and her family were awesome with my senior XL fur baby. My trip was planned last minute and Lacey responded quickly and with no hesitation to provide Mia with a loving family environment while I was away. She sent photos regularly reassuring me that Mia had happily adjusted, which was a concern since my big baby tends to have separation anxiety. There’s a good reason Lacey has so many return clients. She & her family take great care of their furry visitors and provide a relaxed environment as well as a great outdoor play space. We’ll be back again.”
“I have come back time and time again, I would recommend Ash to anyone. My dogs get so excited on their way to her house and I think that speaks volumes to how they are treated while they are there!”
“We did a trial night and Terry is so pleasant and understanding! Even for just the one night, I got pictures and Rhea was able to have plenty of walks. Rhea is looking forward to more visits!”
“Melissa and her family took great care of my dog. They made sure she had a lot of attention and play time! Melissa also sent updates and pictures so I would know how things were going, helping to not worry about how things were going. I really appreciate the care they gave and recommend them!”
“Diana was great. My dog, Lucy, is a handful, and Diana handles her swimmingly. She kept me updated on Lucy's progress. When I returned, Lucy was happy and safe.”
“I had a great experience with Jason watching my goldendoodle, Jackson, for four days. Jackson got along nicely with his two dogs and came home tired from lots of activity. Jason seems kind and was intuitive to Jackson’s personality.”
“The best dog care. Great environment, lots of photos. Gentle caring for our fur babies. I would highly recommend Ben & Zane. Thank you Loui & Rory”
“Joseph was wonderful with my dog! I recently picked him up from the shelter and was still getting to know him. Joseph was very patient with him and provided me with plenty of updates and pictures. My dog barks at everyone he meets but did not bark at Joseph when I dropped him off and I immediately knew he was the dog whisperer and someone I can trust my baby with.”
“Flynn was excited to spend time with Jeremy. He seemed to have enjoyed his stay and came back better behaved than when we dropped him off. We loved Jeremy’s energy and trusted him to watch Flynn, and would trust him again. You won’t make a bad choice with Jeremy, especially if you have a high energy dog!”
“We had Mike watch Izzy for 8 days and everything was great. After making the reservation, we took our dog to meet Mike and to see where our dog would be staying. Their home is set up very well for the pets safety and their comfort. They were very easy to communicate with and were always very responsive by text. They provided contact daily with a brief update and a photo which was very comforting to us. We have already booked another stay for two weeks and know that Izzy will be very well cared for. We highly recommend Mike and his wife to care for your pet.”
“Jennifer and her family are amazing ! Jennifer took such great care of Halo and Halo did great ! I’m so ecstatic that Jennifer was able to help me with a last-minute booking. Thank you so much Jennifer!”
“Matia is always great with Bella, We can tell right away that Bella loves staying with her and is very comfortable with her. She is very professional and very responsive and send frequent updates and pictures throughout the day.”
“A pleasure as always. She loves our pups as her own. She sends us updates with photos and video's. Our dogs always come home happy. Very pleased.”
About: We know leaving your dog behind can be stressful, so our goal is to make them feel like they’re on vacation too! We only host one family’s dog(s) at a time, so your pup will receive our full attention in a calm, loving home—never a crowded doggy daycare environment. We’re a family of four who genuinely loves dogs. Our 11-year-old son enjoys playing fetch, going for walks, and giving plenty of affection, while our 12-year-old daughter loves working on basic training and teaching fun tricks (with your approval, of course!). My husband, Justin, and I have always been dog lovers. After losing our beloved dog, Rev, this past February, our home has felt a little quieter. While we’re not quite ready to welcome another dog of our own, we’d love the opportunity to care for and spoil yours as if they were part of our family. I work from home, so your dog will have companionship throughout the day and won’t be left alone for long stretches. We also have a sweet senior cat, so we’re looking for dogs that are comfortable around cats or have lived with them before. Whether your pup loves playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply a quiet place to relax, we’ll tailor their stay to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved until you’re home again. I work from home so your pup will have company most of the day. When the kids get home from school you can expect a lot of loving and play time. We have a fenced yard, pool (no fence), and a crate we can offer if your dog prefers to be crated at night or if we leave periodically throughout the day
“Shushma was great! She kept us up-to-date on daily activities and how our dog was doing. I really appreciated all the photos and videos. It was nice to see that our dog was having fun with the other pups. I felt like Lucy was being well taken care of, which helped me to relax and have more fun on our trip. I would highly recommend Shushma, and we plan to use her services again.”
“I can’t say enough good things about Gina. She’s reliable, trustworthy, and truly caring. She treats my dogs like her own. They always come home happy and well cared for. She’s my first choice every time and I highly recommend her!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Carefree
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 Meet & Greet .
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. 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.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
