“After my dog sitter moved out of the area, I wasn't sure I'd find someone to watch Lilly id approve of. Deborah and Thomas are great with Lilly. I highly recommend them. They made her feel right at home.”
“Daniela and her family were perfect! His stay with them was short but she kept me updated along with pics. I almost wish I had to leave my dog with them longer because her kids were so horribly excited about him :) I would definitely leave him in their care again.”
“She was great very communicative let me know everything going on. Also gave me pictures of our pet to show how he was doing. My kids loved that too. I would definitely recommend Erin to watch your pet if you every need a pet sitter”
“Paul & Courtney are the perfect fit for our two dogs. Great with communication and sending pictures was a very nice bonus. We will be coming back again. I will be recommending them to our friends and family. Thank you for such a worry free experience.”
“Kristofer was absolutely amazing. He keep me updated on how she was doing with plenty of pictures and videos. She seemed right at home with him and his family. I will definitely be using him again in the very near future.”
“We are picky about who we leave our miniature Labradoodle with but had to find a place she would be happy at for 6 days while we were in our time share condo, taking the scenic way home. I found Rover.command then, after scrutinizing providers, found Mindy. It was perfect for Milly. Lots of ball fetching, comfortable furniture, outdoor playtime, dog walks, pool time, personal time and a few other companionable dogs for her to play with. They sent pictures every day to us. We relaxed and enjoyed our time in Scottsdale very much. If it wasn’t for this site and Mindy, we would have had to board her at a big kennel with little personal attention and certainly no play pool, which she loves! We will use her and her husband again if we return to Scottsdale and need Milly to go to “Summer Doggy Vacation Camp!””
“Shane is fantastic! I boarded my dog Bella with Shane for the 2nd time. This time it was for 21days. i can tell Bella is so content and comfortable at Shanes house. He takes her hiking and walking and to dog parks and takes amazing care of her. i got daily picture updates and I had peace of mind the whole time I was away.”
“Trevor and Zac are absolutely amazing! Our dog ran back inside when we arrived because he did not want to leave! Barkley is such a sweet gal that makes the stay for our dog so fun! Absolutely recommend and will use again!”
“Our dog loved his time with Deanna. She is kind and loving. She was great at communicating and making sure we knew our dog was doing well. We will for sure use her again! Thank you, Deanna!!!”
“Frank had a blast! Loved receiving all of the pictures and videos of my baby! I appreciate the last minute booking, meeting before hand and the care Frank recieved. Will definitely book again! Thank you so much!!!!!”
“Kitty and her husband took excellent care of my older dog Bapu for two weeks. I needed to find a sitter spontaneously and Kitty was very accommodating. My dog loved her outdoor patio and the other dog visitors that kept his stay interesting. She was careful with his meds and supplements. I appreciated the one on one care he received and the communication from her along the way. Thank you Kitty!”
“Aspen took great care of our dog for a week while we went on vacation. He seemed to be happy there, playing with the other dogs. She has a nice outdoor area for the dogs to play in, complete with kiddy pools to play in the water when the weather is warm, shade and toys to play with. She sent us photos of our dog throughout the week to show us that he was having a good time and was doing well and receiving lots of love. We will definitely have Aspen care for our dog again!”
“Heather was A-MAZING with my old dog Rupert. I can tell he had a great time and was well loved. He was also very clean. So grateful to have Rupert spend time with such a loving family. Thank you!”

About: I've cared for dogs my entire life and have more than 40 years of hands-on experience with different ages, sizes and personalities. I share my home with two dogs of my own, so caring for dogs is part of my everyday life. I have experience with basic training and enrichment, as well as caring for senior dogs who made meed a gentler pace and extra patience. I keep my guest list small so each dog gets individual attention, playtime, affection and a comfortable home environment. I also require a meet -and -greet before boarding so I can make sure every dog is a good fit. I'm currently working through September 23, so my availability is limited until then. Beginning October 1, I'll be fully available for boarding and doggy day care. I am available before October 1 to schedule meet-and greets for future stays. My schedule then will be centered around the dogs in may care, with plenty of time to play, enrichment and outdoor time. I provide care exclusively in my home, where dogs have access to a large, secure fenced yard and a dog door for easy indoor/outdoor access. I have two friendly dogs of my own and carefully introduce guest dogs to make sure everyone is comfortable together. I keep the number of guest dogs small so each dog gets plenty of individual attention, supervised play time and a comfortable home environement. I can also crate a dog if that is part of their normal routine. I require a meet-and-greet before any stay to make sure it is a good fit.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Cottonwood
Alexa took care of our dog Lily for two weeks, and I truly can’t say enough good things about the experience. Lily is 16 years old and a tripod, so she needs extra patience, attention, and gentle care—and Alexa gave her exactly that and more. From the very beginning, I had a good feeling. Even during the booking process, her thoughtful and responsive communication reassured me that she was the right person for the job. That instinct turned out to be absolutely right. While we were away, Alexa sent many updates and photos, which meant so much to us. It gave us real peace of mind knowing Lily was not just being looked after, but genuinely cared for and loved. It was also so heartwarming to see how well Lily fit right in with Alexa’s family, including her dog Leo. Alexa is one of those rare people who truly loves animals, and it shows in everything she does. She goes above and beyond to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. If you’re nervous about leaving your pet with someone new—especially an older dog—I completely understand and can confidently say Alexa is someone you can trust. We would absolutely book with her again.
Alma and her husband Jon were absolutely amazing! They stepped in last minute the night before to watch our dog and made the whole process so easy and stress-free. They sent consistent updates, which we really appreciated, and it was clear our dog was well cared for and comfortable the entire time. Truly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter—would 100% trust them again and highly recommend!

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.
95% of sitters in Cottonwood 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 Cottonwood 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 Cottonwood.
<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 Cottonwood 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.
