“Denise and Rod were wonderful hosts to our goldendoodle, Lexi. They have two lovely dogs of their own and it was clear that they are real dog lovers. They have a nice house with a big fenced in back yard for the dogs to play. Lexi had a great time and we will most definitely leave her with Denise and Rod again.”
“Michelle was a dream for my Desi girl! She is so incredibly kind, caring and attentive to my pup 😊. I appreciated her consistent communication while I was out of town, her experience with dogs is invaluable, I HIGHLY recommend her to all pet owners!”
“Seth and Connie and their sweet daughters were incredible sitters for Pippin! They were very prompt to respond, easy-going and I could tell my dog instantly fell in love with them. Thank you so much for all of your care and attention!”
“Lara and her family did such an amazing job with our dog! She had so much fun over the weekend and Lara kept us updated throughout it all! I will definitely be using them again!”
“Christie and Daniel worked around our crazy schedule to take care of Scarlett. They were awesome with her and loved the pictures and videos they sent. We will definitely be using them again.”
“Our Golden Retriever, Bucky, was in great hands with Richard and Jeanette for his first stay with them for four days! It was nice to know that someone who loves dogs was around with him all the time, and gave him the attention and play time that he needed :) He's ready for another visit soon!”
“Carina was wonderful! We’ve never left our dog anywhere before so we weren’t sure what to expect, and she took very good care of him. He got lots of attention and she was very accommodating with his desire to be around her all the time. I got some photos and updates while we were done which was wonderful. I’d definitely ask here to watch our dog again!”
“Sheila and David are wonderful! They’ve been our dog sitters for a few years now and we’re so grateful to have found them! It’s a huge comfort knowing our pups are being loved and well taken care of while we’re away. They always send us sweet messages and pictures too just to let us know how our dogs are doing- it’s an added touch that my husband and I really appreciate.”
“Lauren is the best dog sitter. She's very dedicated and responsible. She provides feedback on the pet's condition, photos and descriptions, and takes him for walks and plays. I would leave my dog with her again without hesitation. 100% recommended.”
“This was our first experience using Rover for boarding and are VERY satisfied with how Kimberly cared for our dog. For the first time we didn't feel guilty boarding our dog as Kimberly's daily updates with photos showed a relaxed and happy dog who was definitely getting all the attention he craves!”
“Amazing dog family. I had to go out of town for a few days and didn't have any problem at all with fear or apprehension because I knew my animal is cared for. Extra playtime and walking because my dog is super energetic and needs the exercise. Thanks for the great job.”
About: I'm a first-year veterinary student at the University of Arizona College of Veterinary Medicine, here in Oro Valley, AZ. As a student, I work with all kinds of animals, from companion animals to reptiles and farm animals! I graduated with my bachelor's degree in the pre-veterinary track from Arizona State University in 2025 and hope to graduate with my Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) in 2028. - I've been an animal lover since I was a child when I first started volunteering at the animal shelter! I've worked in veterinary clinics as a veterinary assistant throughout undergrad so I have a lot of experience with animals. I love pet-sitting through Rover as a de-stressor from school, as animals always make me happy :) - Meet and Greets are a must before our first booking to ensure I’m a good fit for you and your pet(s). - Lastly, pet safety is my priority at all times. I ensure that homes are left in the same original condition as upon arrival and lock up according to the owner’s instructions. I am currently a full time professional student doing Rover on the side to help pay off my student loans! - I still have school over the summer! My classes are from Monday-Friday. The times we have are variable for each day and are range from 8am-5pm. - Drop-ins/dog walking: We usually have a 1-hour break at 11am where I can stop by if you live close to my school, or I can come when classes are over for the day. - House-sitting: I am fully available to house-sit on weekends, but I have classes on weekdays. Though I am still able to house-sit on weekdays, keep in mind that I may be not be able to stay at your house for a good chunk of the day, depending on the day. If you need weekday house-sitting, please reach out to me with the days you need and for how much of those days you need me to be at your house! I can check my schedule and get back to you. Sometimes, we have whole mornings off or get done super early, so it just depends. Drop-ins/Walking: I will always message you the time I complete my visit and send you photos of your furry friend(s)! I can provide you any details of the visit you need such as if they went potty, how much they ate, etc. - House-sitting: I know it's nerve-racking to leave your loved one(s) and go off on a trip. However, I can send you photos as often as you'd like so you feel confident that they are in good hands. I'll keep an eye out on messages during my stay so I can respond with updates. I will reliably follow the directions you give me, making sure your loved one(s) feel safe & happy! Please provide specific instructions for pet and home care, including safety protocols in your home. Otherwise, I'm careful to not disturb anything inside your home and will ensure it is locked up properly and cleaned up upon my departure! - Boarding/Daycare: I can only accommodate small-medium dogs with more calm personalities for boarding at this time. I live with my parents who are also animal lovers. We live in a dog-proof house with a fenced yard available for potty breaks. We can only accommodate either boarding or daycare at one time. Before booking, you and your pup can visit my house to see if it is a good fit!
“Sydny and Atiana took amazing care of our dog! Sent lots of pictures and she looked happy in every photo. We were gone for a week and did not have any worries while away from her. We will continue to book with them for future needs.”
“Maisie’s 2nd stay with Ron was great! She was happy and comfortable when I dropped her off and when I picked her up. Ron sends great pictures and movies. We are so happy to have Ron, Lily and Canoli.”
“Kat was great and very patient when we didn’t know how to use this app, and our flight was delayed overnight, and I’m sure we made the whole deal annoying for her, but she was kind and patient and very responsive to communication. And Paris really seemed to enjoy being there and playing with her dogs. Thank you, Kat!!”
“David and Becki welcomed my golden retriever Hope into their home with no hesitation at all. It was clear within the first five minutes of our visit that she would be happy and well cared for with them. She looked great when I picked her up. I will definitely be taking her back.”
“Ashley was very friendly and open. She met the needs of Holly. They were very interactive with her and sent many videos. They did a wonderful job job and Holly looked happy.”
“Andreah is GREAT. She took care of my Mini Schnauzer Sosa for 4 nights. Very accommodating, messages back quickly, gave us updates throughout his stay and our Sosa had a great time. Highly recommend!!!”
“Brynna is AMAZING! She took such great care of my boxer. She had lots of toys and took him for regular walks. I received adorable check in pics and a very cute video of my dog playing with hers. Brynna took the time ahead of my dog's stay to understand any special needs or quirks about him so she could take the best care of him. My dog has never looked happier!”
“Gail is awesome!! My 13 yr old pup needed a vet visit and meds under her care and she was right on top of it. She took great care of him! Gail is my new go-to dog sitter!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Catalina on Rover is $29.96 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 520 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 rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
94% of Catalina sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Catalina landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Catalina 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 Catalina.
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.
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 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.
