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.
“Rebecca was great! It was my babies 1st time boarding so I was nervous but it went great. Rebecca has such calm energy, it for sure probably helped my Luna girl! I now have a dedicated and safe home away from home for my fur babies.”

“Alexa was amazing. Cooper had so much fun. Loved all the updates while we were away. You can tell Alexa has such a sweet soul and cares so much for animals! Would highly recommend.”
“Kim has a big heart for animals and she’s very good with them. I left my pup with her for four days knowing she was in good hands. I she received lots of love, on time feeding, Brush outs of her coat and several trips to local dog parks. One of the reasons why I chose Kim was the fact that she is retired and not leaving my dog unattended during the day. I will definitely use Kim again.”
“Vlad is the best!! Our pup Pepper had a great time with him. Lots of doggy play dates at the dog park. Vlad kept us up to date with photos and videos, he was super caring and very flexible with us. Would book again for sure.”
“I had a wonderful experience boarding my dog with Kayla for three nights in her home. She was extrememly communicative and sent lots of photos, which put my mind at ease. Even when my dog wasn't feeling well, Kayla took great care of him, updated me regularly and fed him a special meal. Her home is lovely and her two dogs are sweet and friendly. I highly recommend her!”
“Leann is a great communicator which put my heart at ease. She sent regular videos and photos, and it was clear that our 3 pups were in good hands. They came back happy, which means the world to me. Thank you Leann for doing an amazing job!”

Whatever you prefer.

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.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Cottonwood is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $72 per night.

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.
93% 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, 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.
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 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 , 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.
