“This was my first time using Rover and my first experience having my dog boarded by someone other than a friend/family member and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I love that Denise only accepts one pup at a time. I got messages, video, and picture updates daily. I didn’t stress one bit with my pup’s stay which was SUCH a relief. I would definitely book with Denise again and I would recommend her to anyone looking to rest assured that their dog is in good hands!”
“We could not have imagined better sitters that Richard and Jeanette, they took excellent care of our Dorie Joy. When we came to pick her up we knew that she was loved and cared for when she followed Jeanette around the house even when we were there. They sent us pictures every few days or just texted us telling us that everything was fine. There are no words to tell how thankful we are that we found such loving, caring and considerate sitters for our little one. We would highly recommend them and definitely use them again.”
“Katarina is a warm and caring dog owner and host. She has a wonderful house and yard and two friendly dogs. My dog loved exploring her interesting yard. I will definitely use her again and recommend her to others. I know my dog was happy and well cared for there.”
“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!!”
“I really loved how active she was with Moose! It felt like he was also on vacation while we were on vacation. I appreciated the time she took to let us know how he was doing each day. I felt so relaxed about him being with her!”
“An amazing sitter that’s really takes the time to learn and love your dog. She observes and teaches you things that even you may miss about your dog. Gives updates with many detail to put you at ease while away from your pup and she really makes your dog feel like family. Highly Recommend”
“The "happy dogs" enviroment Miriam has created is perfect for our very social Husky Keesha and her playmates. Each stay is like an extra long playdate for her. Now it will take a full day of sleeping it off for her to recuperate. Excellent!!”
“This is the first time that we have taken our pup to someone’s home. Rainey has high anxiety and doesn’t like to be left alone. Deb and Dennis were very attentive to her needs and shared photos throughout the stay. She got daily walks and frequent brushes which she enjoys! Rainey seemed to be very comfortable from the first day we met them. We will definitely be using them again”
“Christina saved my life! 3 days before Open Heart Surgery, I was without a sitter for my Poodle, Dusty. PANIC set in ,along with plenty of tears. I searched the internet and found Rover and Christina. I was nervous. Will he be ok. Have fun. Be loved. I didn't want him with a lot of other dogs....just in case. Christina called and within 5 minutes she had my nerves vanished and I was sold. We met and she is the sweetest, kind, and loving lady. Dusty loved her and her dog from the start. Off they went to have fun and I could get my surgery. Received pictures almost daily and when I got him back my dog was a happy, vibrant dog. He had lots of fun. Went on walks. Played with his new found buddy whom he already missed too. Rover and Christina literally saved my life and I am forever grateful! The best place to leave my fur baby Ever. Christina was my angel sent from heaven to rescue me and spoil my Dusty with fun,love and kisses Thank You!”
“Barbara took such good care of my Henry I was so relieved. She was incredibly responsive and kept me updated with pictures and videos while I was off on vacation. Henry came home happy and tired from all the playtime. Thank you!!”
“This was my first time using rover and Kyle made this new experience a breeze. Super communicative, I appreciated how great Kyle took care of Maddox. Would definitely have Kyle watch Maddox again”
“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”
“We couldn't be happier with the care Chloe received from Elizabeth during our 4 days away. Elizabeth kept us informed with pictures and notes. We are totally satisfied and would have no trouble going back or recommending her to others. Thank you Jerry & Janet Sherfey”
“Patricia was an exceptional caregiver to my corgi. We had a good meet and greet and Pat was very prompt with communications as we set up the day/time to drop off and pick up my dog. She sent me photos throughout his stay with her, took him on multiple daily walks, followed his feeding regime and was just wonderful! I would recommend her services to any dog owner with confidence. I will be contacting her in the future whenever I need dog sitting services- she is my go to person for my corgi.”
“Danielle was amazing with our Harley! She’s very organized and easy to communicate with. I felt she treated Harley like she would her own pup as she included in her activities, took her on walks and car rides and provided enrichment activities for her”
About: I’ve taken care of animals ever since I was little, whether that was taking care of our cats and dogs or watching a neighbors pet. I worked in the veterinary field for a couple of years and a technician so I am comfortable administering any medications. I am open to sitting dogs of all ages, I just ask that if they aren’t potty trained to please provide a kennel. I have a border collie who loves to make friends so we hope to see your furry friends soon! I am currently a PhD student here at the U of A. I do have classes and work during the weekdays but I am available after 5pm. On the weekends me and my dog take it easy and stay in. I do live in an apartment complex. There are two dog parks present in the complex if you would want me to take your pet to run some energy out (but totally understand if you would prefer no visits to the dog park). I am able to crate any pet that needs to be I just ask that you supply the crate since I do not have one at this time. I do have a 7yr old border collie who loves to meet new friends and is very patient with energetic breeds. I take her on a long walk at least once a day and will definitely take any pet I watch on a long walk too (a girl has to get her steps in).
“Literal godsend and a woman of patience. She took on both of my rambunctious boys and handled it with such Grace🥰 and kept me informed the whole time. Not to mention that she took them at last minute and was so kind and so sweet about it. With as much traveling as I do to Tuscon, I look forward to booking with her again.”

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.
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 , 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.
