“Sonia is absolutely amazing — truly the best sitter I’ve ever had. She gave constant, thoughtful updates and showed so much love, care, and attention to my pup. She even accommodated me last minute, which meant the world. She exercises my dog and treats her like her own. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such good hands. Thank you so much, Sonia”
“Thanks to Kim for always being available when we need a sitter for my Blair! Not only does she take care of her very well, she also sends plenty of pictures/videos of my furball playing at the dog park! Would definitely recommend.”
About: Hi I’m Kylea! I’m a stay-at-home, homeschooling mom and lifelong animal lover. Animals truly bring me so much joy and happiness and I would love to care for yours! While in my care, your pet(s) will receive tons of love, attention, playtime, and snuggles. Daily updates will be given as well as pictures! I have a lifelong experience caring for dogs, cats, and other small pets, and I will follow any special feeding schedules. I can administer medications if needed, and will accommodate unique care instructions. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I can care for any age whether it’s a puppy and still potty training or a senior dog that needs assistance and gentle care. I know how important our pets are—they’re family. That’s why I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re away, knowing your pet(s) is receiving the best care possible. I can’t wait to meet you and your amazing pet(s) and give them a fun, loving home away from home! 🐾💕 I will always be home to love and care for your pet(s). Your pet(s) is my top priority and your request is highly respected for the care of your sweet pet(s). During the AZ summer, dogs will remain inside for the majority of the day but will still get tons of playtime because in our home- we play ball in the house! :) Your pet(s) will have frequent potty breaks and tons of playtime outside when the weather isn’t extremely hot to prevent your sweet pet(s) from being overheated. I have a double fenced yard and tons of space for your pet to play. Artificial grass, a doggie pool for those dogs who love to play in water, tons of toys, an outdoor cooler with pump, & misters and fans (though dogs will never be left outside for a long period of time). As for cats- I will keep them separated in their own, quiet space with their own litter box, food, water, and accessories until they seem to feel comfortable. Then I will introduce the cat(s) slowly to the other cats and the to home.
“Jack had a blast staying with Valerie and Kevin. He did lots of running and playing came back home and slept all afternoon. Next up he’s doing boarding, I’m sure he’ll have a blast!”
“Had a great experience, my dog is literally the most difficult breed (Samoyed) and she did great job. Was alway communicating and making sure Jax (dog) was allowed to have certain treats. Glad they are willing to handle my high energy shedding machine 🤗”

“Francesca is by far one of the best dog sitters I’ve had ever worked with. Her compassion for animals does not go unnoticed and she is always willing to accommodate if she’s able too. Her fur babies are sweet and my Simba loved making new friends. Highly reliable and I don’t plan on doing business anywhere else anytime soon. Thanks a ton!”
About: *IMPORTANT SUMMER INFO* I do not walk dogs when temps are over 95 during the day. I will walk up to 100 degrees when the sun is not out (early morning or after sunset). Walks will change to drop-ins (no change in price) if temps exceed this. We are a dog loving family and welcome small to medium size dogs for doggy daycare. Pam is available for dog walking and drop-ins on weekdays. For daycare, we have 3 resident dogs who will welcome your pooch to the pack, so yours should be good with other dogs. Our backyard is fully fenced, with a pool that your pup can cool off in. **The dogs are fully supervised any time they have access to the pool.** Pam works solely from home and Joe works in ministry just two miles away. Our schedules allow us to show your fur baby a great time and all the love and attention it will need while you are away for the day. Please let us know if you have any questions about your pup's needs. We look forward to welcoming them to our pack! ~Pam & Joe Why I love dog sitting I grew up with cats but fell in love with dogs when I got my first one, Maggie, in my twenties. Maggie was a Sheltie and was my companion through a lot of life's ups and downs. In 2010, I adopted Snickers & Itty Bitty, a malkie and care-tzu. Maggie, Snickers and Itty Bitty all lived to 15 years old, but we would have loved many more years with them. We now have Toby, a small mixed breed who is 10, Lucky, a Maltipoo, who was rehomed to us, and Ginger, a cavapoo princess who we were blessed to find through a rescue. About my yard Our backyard is fully fenced and landscaped. We have a pool and your dog is welcome to swim, or cool off on the baja step, if they like. We have a grass side yard that is a designated potty area for the pups. Pam works part-time from home and Joe works just 2 miles away. While Pam is home working, our 3 resident fur babies are never far away, sometimes even sleeping on her lap or desk. We have a gate that keeps dogs from accessing the front door. Our front door and back doors both have security screens, so if we open the door they can't run out. Our back yard is fully fenced and double fenced on the one side that opens to the front yard/street.
“This is our third time having our dog Abbie stay with Kathy during our stay in Arizona for baseball's Spring Training. Abbie loves going to Kathy's house. We rest assured that she is well taken care of and is given all the attention she needs (which is a lot) during her stay with Kathy. Thanks Kathy...see you next year!”
“Kelly was fantastic with our playful boy Moose! She and her family are so sweet, plus their older pups, for keeping up with our guy. She sent many updates throughout the day and our pup came home happy and tired. Would 100% recommend and plan to have him visit again in the future.”
“Christina is great! My boxer Birdie loves going over and playing all day with her dogs. Communication is great and she even sends photos! We’re already rebooking with her. Thank you Christina!”
“We were pretty nervous puppy parents, but Megan made our doggie daycare experience easy. Our dog came home loved and tired (from all the playtime). I would highly recommend Megan to anyone who needs someone to care for their pup.”
“Megan is great! I was extremely last minute with my request to book her today for a few hours of doggy daycare. She got back to me right away and was extremely accommodating and flexible. It was such a relief to know Sophie was in good hands! She sent a couple of pictures over of Sophie playing and having a good time. She has the cutest little Pug that Sophie got to me and interact with as well. I will definitely rebook!!!”
About: I’ve owned dogs and other animals my whole life! I’ve cared for all shapes and sizes ranging from Great Danes to Chihuahuas. From new born litters to 15+ years old. Different sicknesses and disabilities. I have also cared for farm animals and livestock, reptiles, bunnies, snakes, and fish! I am a *mostly* online student so I am home all day. Only times I am unavailable are Tuesdays and Thursdays until noon. 99% of the time I am home to care and play with your pup! I live in an apartment but have tons of walking area outside! I currently own an unspayed female Shih Tzu who loves to sleep all day. If there are personality differences, she is more than happy to sleep in a separate room! I am happy to meet any and all of your pup’s and your needs!
“Just picked up our doodle, Abby from Jason and Sierras'. She is very shy around people so I was concerned with how she would react to them in their home. All seemed to go well and it sounds as if Abby did just fine in a new environment. Very happy with her stay”
About: I believe dogs are one of God's best creations as they bring so much joy and happiness in cute, snuggly form. They are smart and hilarious, and each one has a unique personality. I believe in simple boundaries with them and rewards for good behavior, with space for relaxation and some for play time. My schedule is very flexible which gives me freedom to take your dog for a morning walk, play with them mid-day, feed them dinner, or just hang out. I prefer to meet with the dog at its home where it is most comfortable. My friends have trusted me to drop in during their busy days for years. At our home, I will often play with the dog inside, and take them for leashed walks through our neighborhood. We do not have a fence so there is no outside free roaming at this time.
The median cost per day for doggy day care in El Mirage is $35
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - El Mirage
Thank you! Our little dog loved it there and was happy both upon arriving and leaving and arriving for her second day too. We found Leanna and Berlin to be very kind and accommodating on the hours. We highly recommend them and would be happy to be repeat customers. Thank you again!!
Sebastián and his family are magnificent. Gus thoroughly enjoyed his time. He was very calm and showed no stress like he sometimes does when he's leaving daycare. I know they played with him and fed him lots of treats and he went on good walks. This will be his home away from home as long as they're available.
Sophia was AMAZING! She was so attentive, caring and responsive when taking care of Brooklyn. She had her own space in Sophia’s home, and I was sent plenty of photos throughout my dog’s stay. This was a super smooth experience for Brooklyn and I. I’ve had some mixed experiences here on Rover but Sophia is one of the best sitters I’ve had. I will definitely be using Sophia again. Thank you again!
I’m so grateful for the amazing care my senior dog Bella receives! They’re incredibly attentive and send updates throughout my long 12-hour workdays. I get plenty of messages and pictures, and it’s clear Bella feels comfortable and well cared for. It gives me such peace of mind knowing she’s in such caring hands. Highly recommend! 🐾
Gabby did an amazing job making my pup feel right at home! She kept me updated throughout the day with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. Her communication was great, and my pup absolutely adored her. She’ll definitely be my go-to whenever I need someone to look after my pup! 🐶💕

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - El Mirage
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in El Mirage on Rover is $35.52 per day (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,886 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across El Mirage. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your El Mirage commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 1,886 sitters in El Mirage, 87% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
