“This was our first time leaving our 5 month old puppy for an extended amount of time. We were recommended Seth and his family from a friend. We were able to come visit with Kyber to see the home and meet the family before going on our vacation, which helped put us right at ease. Kyber had the best time with Seth and his family. He went on daily walks, enjoyed play and snuggle time, and we got daily updates and photos. I don’t think we would have been more comfortable with any other sitter. Im not even sure our pup was sad to see us go - hah! Kyber came home completely relaxed. We will be booking again in the future.”
“Lauren was great! We boarded our dog with her for 4 nights. She is super responsive, easy to connect with, shared updates about our dog while we were away, and gave good information for us to be aware of when we picked him up. She is thoughtful in her approach to caring for our dog, and would highly recommend. :)”
“I’m starting to feel as though Ron loves our dog as much as we do. What a sense of relief and joy for all of us. Cannot say enough to convey our gratitude to Ron.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Boarding Grady with Elizabeth was the best option we have ever had in many years of traveling and seeking good care for our pets. She offers a very dog-friendly and safe home for her canine guests. While we were gone, she sent us frequent updates and pictures of Grady and his fellow boarders looking contented and engaged. When we picked Grady up, it was clear that he had had a grand time at Elizabeth's' "dog house". Knowing Grady was safe and happy made our own trip a lot more fun. Grady will definitely be a return visitor here.”
“Barbara took wonderful care of our pup for her first, long term overnight stay. Daily photos and insights into who Maize enjoyed playing with were a delight to see and read. We'll be regulars!”
“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!”
“Thank you, Pamela, for being such a sweet, genuine, and knowledgeable dog-whisperer. Our senior love, Harriette, enjoyed her “slumber party” with you. And WE knew she was under such great, loving care so we didn’t have to worry about being away from our bearded-lady. She consulted her crystal ball that foretold “There will be even more magical sleepovers in the future.” Hooray for EVERYONE!!”
“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”
“Regina did a great job taking care of our dog. She sent us many updates and pictures while we were on vacation for 2 weeks. I recommend her to take good care of your furry family member.”
“Vicky was absolutely amazing! She cared for our 2 dogs the week of our wedding and helped coordinate to get our dogs to the wedding. She sent many updates and pictures, showing our dogs were happy and healthy. I would recommend Vicky to anyone looking for a pup sitter, she was just the best.”
“Korrina took such good care of my babies! She was very responsive in her communication with the booking and while my dogs were in her care. She sent lots of pictures and provided updates through out the stay. I will definitely be re-booking with her again!”
“Lacey was so sweet, so accommodating, communicative, and always quick to respond. I’m so grateful for her help and I would 100% choose her again to take care of Rusty. We had a great experience with her. Thank you again!”
“Judy is a fantastic sitter and has become my dog’s home away from home. She is extremely kind and caring. I had an emergency and needed to extend my trip last minute. Judy was so understanding and the modification to the boarding reservation was very easy through Rover’s app. 10/10 stars”
“We couldn’t have asked for better sitters for our dog, Ollie. Water and John (along with their sweet dog, Poppy) were incredibly kind and welcoming, making Ollie feel right at home from the start. They kept us updated with regular texts and photos, which truly put our minds at ease while we were away. When Ollie had a little trouble adjusting to the new environment, Water and John went above and beyond to help him settle in comfortably—even letting him sleep in bed with them, which we really appreciated! Their genuine care and flexibility made all the difference. We would absolutely recommend Water and John to anyone looking for thoughtful, reliable pet sitters. Ollie was in wonderful hands, and we’re so grateful for their exceptional care!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Catalina
Denise is the best! I knew it was so when I saw a video of Reese with the zoomies on the first night. We just moved to town and had to find a new sitter and we hit the jackpot with Denise. She sent so many pictures of Reese and took such good care of him. Will book again!
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.

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.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Catalina. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
