“Very caring dog sitter. The home is spacious and lovely. Her policy of never taking a dog (regardless of size) out of doors unless on a leash is commendable. Appreciate the fact that she takes your dog on a daily walk/s. Meticulous in following through with feeding instructions. Makes every attempt to replicate the eating, sleeping, exercise routine that has been established by the owner. Appreciate the fact that Denise only accepts the dogs of one owner at any given time. Their small doggie was a wonderful playmate for our dog during the stay. Can't recommend this sitter enough.”
“Lara was absolutely AMAZING. This is the first time I’ve ever left on a trip and not worried for a moment about Georgie. I received check ins and photos and knew that Georgie was having the time of her life. I can’t wait for the next time I need to ask Lara to watch Georgie, she will be so happy! Thank you LARA!! I cannot recommend her services enough.”
“Willow had her first visit with Santiago and Carina, and everything went well. We appreciated the flexibility to adapt to our late schedule change. There were no issues with drop-off or pick-up. Willow was fine after the visit and acted like her normal self, just as we hoped.”
“Our dog Ollie was very comfortable at Gail’s home with her dog and other dogs boarding worth her. It was our first time to use Rover and so happy to find Gail. Gail has a nice fenced yard for the dogs to run and sleep in the sun. Gail sent a few pictures and I could see our dog was very well cared for and enjoying her sweet home. Highly recommend!!!”
“Ashley was amazing; she was by far the best dog sitter we've ever had. She showed our dog a great time with several walks and fun outings, she worked on some training with her, and she sent pictures, videos, and updates throughout the time of our vacation. She also had some very good feedback about our pup, which I really appreciated. 10/10 would recommend, and I definitely hope and plan to have Ashley care for our girl again in the future.”
“We needed someone to watch our older dog while we were away for a week. Being new to the area we really didn't know anyone and we wanted our dog to be in a home environment where she wouldn't be alone. My wife found Cynthia on Rover and we went over to meet her. We were immediately impressed by the secure yard and surroundings. Our dog immediately bonded with her little dog Chewey. To make sure, we arranged two "play days" to make sure that all went well. Everything went better than expected and I, being an overly protective pet parent, felt at ease with leaving our dog for a week. I had nothing to worry about. Cynthia took great care of our dog, sent us regular updates including pictures and videos. She let our dog settle-in at her house where ever our dog felt most at ease and took her out for regular walks and time in the yard. When we came back we found that our dog had such a good time that I'm not sure she wanted to leave! Needless to say that Cynthia will be our first choice to watch our dog whenever the need arises! Your dog will be in good hands.”
“Barbara took great care of our two dogs! She paid attention to each of their personalities. I think our dogs had a nice few days away from home in Barbara’s care. Thank you!”
“Lauren and her family were wonderful! They reassured me regularly that Vinny was happy, comfortable and had everything he needed. I could tell when I picked him up from their home that he felt a part of their family. It was so helpful to know he was in good hands. We will definitely be availing ourselves of their warm and welcoming services again. Thank you SO much for making both myself and my dog Vinny feel great about our vacations!”
“Kat took excellent care of my little Reina. I received updates on her quite frequently. Reina was taken on several walks and appeared to get a long well with Kat’s small pups. Thank you for all the care!”
“Cathleen was a lifesaver as our old dog watcher was no longer in the business. Cathleen was very friendly and responsive to our request to watch our dog while we went out of state on vacation for several days. She kept us in the loop on how he was doing while we were gone and even sent us a few pictures. She took good care of our Bear and we will definitely call upon her services again in the future!”
“Darlene was great watching our two small dogs for a few days. We know our dogs loved her nice warm home and the backyard area. We appreciated the update mid-way through our trip to know everything was going well. Would take the dogs back anytime. Thanks again!”
“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!”
“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”
“Excellent and thanks so much for being available on short notice. I especially appreciate the daycare option for when I'll be busy day long but not overnight. Lucy will definitely be back!!”
“Brittani was amazing! She was extremely knowledgeable, made us feel very comfortable with our choice of picking her. She made sure our dog was well taken care of and went above and beyond making sure he was comfortable/loved. Highly recommend her for watching your furry family!”
“Brian is ALWAYS so great! He is very accommodating and helpful! This is the third time my dog, Apollo, has stayed with Brian. Apollo is always so excited and happy to visit him and his dogs. Thank you again :)”
“Vicky watched my pups for a second time and everything went great 😊 she sent lots of pictures, updates every day, and my dogs were happy as ever when I picked them up. She’s awesome and I plan on using her for future dog sitting!”
“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.”

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.
