“Excellent experience with Denise. She was wonderful with my Chinese Crested Powder Puff who came back very happy with the experience. Denise's home was perfect for my little dog since she also has another little dog who got along with Terry. Terry was frequently walked on sidewalks in her neighborhood and in her lovely back garden. She always has the dogs on leashes as a protection, even in her walled back area. I look forward to using her again.”
“Rich and Jeanette took wonderful care of our 3yo pug for almost two weeks, while we were on vacation. They sent us pictures and updates every two days or so and I am sure they would send more or less often, if requested. Schedules were super easy to set up with them including a meet and greet prior to boarding. Will use for boarding again in the future and highly recommend to others!”
“It was our first time using Rover. Our year old dog Sandee loved being with them. They have a sweet dog named Preston which she enjoyed playing with. Carina and Santiago's two daughters also help with the pet care. Felicia even made Sandee a couple handmade flowers for her collar. So sweet! They also offer for a small additional fee pick up and drop off of your pet if needed. They treat their Rover pets as part of the family. :) We will be regulars with them!!”
“What a wonderful experience we had with Dave and Becky! Lots of pictures, stories, and adventures! We knew she would be very happy in their beautiful home and huge backyard! She will miss the squirrels and helping Dave with the new floors though! :) So very grateful we found Dave and Becky and will definitely use their services again!!”
“Ron was a wonderful dog sitter. We left our two small dogs with him for a week and took amazing care of them. Sent pictures daily with little updates and we could tell our dogs felt right at home with him. He has a beautiful back yard with a dog door for them to roam his fully fenced in yard. We felt very comfortable leaving them with him. We will definitely book with him in the future”
“Sally is the sweetest!!! This was the first time I ever boarded my own dog. It was a great experience. Sally sent lots of pictures & updates. Cashmere socialized with other doggies and had lots of TLC. I highly recommend Sally!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Barbara was attentive to every need be it dietary, emotional or methods to make my cherished dog at ease. When I returned to pick him up there was not the over anxious exuberance to see me which told me that he was at complete ease in Barbara’s home. This was the first time in ten years where I have felt no angst leaving him. Thank you for caring and loving him like your own!”
“She was really flexible with drop off / pick up times! Great communication and I really loved the cute picture of Karma she sent! She clips her own tag to the puppers collar for addition safety and peace of mind which I really appreciated!!”
“Daniel is fantastic! He’s recently watched our dog twice and is very communicative and accommodating. We had a flight cancellation and he was able to book another night no problem. We’re so glad to have someone we feel safe leaving our little guy with. Thanks!”
“They were the best. Truly listening to what the needs were for Sophie to have a comfortable stay, they delivered 100%. It is challenging to find the right fit for a dog that is accustomed to spending most of her time with her humans. We are so happy that they were available and flexible!”
“Lucia did an incredible job taking care of our pup while we were away on a trip! She sent pictures and updated us frequently on how she was doing. We will definitely be booking with her again! Thank you!”
“It was a lovely short weekend stay with Teddye and John who are both super personable and took great care of my pup. I appreciated Teddye’s ability to let me drop off early in the morning to make a flight.”
“I am so grateful for Maria and her family for welcoming our little fur baby into her home and treating him like their own family. He was spoiled rotten and he loved every bit of it. I saw how happy he was in every photo she sent. Her kids loved having him sleep with them. They cuddled with him. Took him for walks. I would definitely recommend Maria and will use her for future dog sitting needs. Thank you Maria and family”
“This was our first time booking through Rover.com and we couldn't be happier. Shawna & Ethan were great. When we met them, it was clear to us that they are dog lovers. Their home is in a lovely location and very dog-friendly. They have an established routine with their own dogs, and it is very much like what our dog is used to. While we were gone to attend an out of town wedding, they sent us pictures of our dog and the activities they were all doing. It was so nice, because we knew he was happy and we didn't need to worry about how he was doing. We will definitely book with Shawna and Ethan again when the need arises. It's a relief to have your pet taken care of by someone you trust rather than a kennel where they are basically ignored. Five stars for Shawna & Ethan - would give them more if that was an option.”
“Walter, Gabi and Michael take such good care of our Lillie Mae. Lillie is excited to be at their house when we drop her off. She is comfortable with them all. They really give her love and affection. We can tell by how she acts around them and how she is when she comes home. We are so thankful for their care and love to our Lillie Mae. It brings us such comfort and we do t have to worry about her when we are away. Blessings on this family!!”
“Rosie loves staying with Kay and Tim. Cricket and Sammy are very welcoming and it gives Rosie a chance to interact with other dogs while her humans are away. We appreciate the flexibility and graciousness of Kay. She offers the perfect home away from home!!”
“Brian was awesome! This was my first time having to leave my pup behind so I was a wreck but Brian definitely eased my worries by sending updates and pictures of my boy hanging out with his 2 sweet dogs. Will definitely keep him in mind for future endeavors. Thanks again Brian!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Catalina
What a pleasure to leave my baby with Denise and Rod. When we dropped him off, they were gracious enough to invite us in, we sat in their backyard for a while and chatted while he met their baby and smelled everything in sight, then inside for more smells!! Denise sent me pictures of him on the couch next to her and a video of him playing with a toy, and I knew he felt comfortable, which in turn, made me feel comfortable. A delightful experience for us. Highly recommend.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Catalina is $32 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $43 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 528 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Catalina. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
94% of sitters in Catalina 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 Catalina home-away-from-home, 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 Catalina.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Catalina 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 , 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 .
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.
