“We are very pleased with Christine's care for our Shaila. The daily pictures she sent us, was a great way to see that or dog was being taken care of properly, as Shaila, seemed relaxed and happy. After arriving to pick-up Shaila, she turned to go back into Christine's house. If there is a dog seal of approval, I think that was it right there. Would not hesitate to have her stay at Christine's in the future.”
“Deborah kept our dogs safe and happy for a week while we were visiting family. She agreed to take our boys on very short notice and was a lifesaver! Thanks again, Deborah!”
“Another great experience having Tammy and Stephen watch my little guy! If you are looking for someone to watch your dog while you are away, you found the best right here. They kept me updated daily with pictures and videos. Are always quick to respond to any messages, and my little dog just LOVES playing at their home. I felt like he was safe and well taken care of while I was away. This is so important to be able to truly enjoy a vacation. I will be booking with them again soon for my next trip. Thank you so much!!”
“What an absolute wonderful family. My dog had never stayed with a sitter before, and I was really worried she would just have a miserable time. Jackie and her family made sure my dog was the most comfortable ever, she constantly sent me updates, and when I picked up my dog, I could sense the happiness from her experience.”
“Can't say enough good things about my experience of leaving Harper with Stefanie. From day one she sent me daily pictures/videos of Harper playing with her other dogs, going on hikes, or resting indoors. This was the first time I have left my dog behind when traveling, but I was 100% comfortable after seeing the care, attention, and compassion that Stefanie provides to all of her dogs. Great to know I have someone around here I can trust to leave Harper with anytime. Thank you!”
“These reviews really don’t do this sweet lady justice. Kaite is and will probably always be Duke and I’s favorite sitter! She and her family loved him like he was her own and he was always excited to see them! Even to the point I felt like family lol!! She’s also very knowledgeable and professional. I loved how she has and maintains a schedule with all of the pets she boards. We have booked stays several times while I was in Sierra vista but I want to highlight the time Duke had post surgery bandages and medications while I had to leave town and I had no reservations about leaving him because I knew he was in great hands. I wish that I could bring her with me to every duty station we move too!!! You will not be disappointed with choosing Kaite as your sitter. ❤️”
“Nora is amazing! She really got our Taz out of her shell and comfortable. She gave steady updates and made sure Taz felt loved and cared for while we were gone. Taz is my baby, so leaving her with anyone is really hard. But Nora made us feel so comfortable and confident with the care Taz would receive, that I even forgot to text her one day! 😅 We will definitely be using her services again.”
“I am so glad I found Katelyn! She was super helpful even at last moment’s notice. She was very accommodating. Koah really enjoyed spending time with her and her household. She would keep me updated daily with photos and videos. That was super relieving while being so far from him. He was really sad after leaving her because he felt comfortable with her. Katelyn really took care of Koah how I would want anyone to care for him. I will be seeking her services again. Thank you Katelyn!”
“Felicia was absolutely amazing as a cat sitter! She was attentive, reliable, and treated our cat like her own. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for kitty and could tell he received lots of love and attention. Felicia kept us updated with photos and little notes, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and responsible pet sitter!”
“Consistent updates. Outstanding care. Super friendly. Amazingly kind people. I can’t say enough about how this family loved my cat as much as me and met us with a very warm welcome. 10/10.”
“We could not be happier with Daniel! He took such good care of our two dogs. He sent video updates to help put us at ease while we were away, and our dogs absolutely loved him! We now call this Camp Daniel lol, and we will absolutely be using his services again and again. Thank you Daniel for loving and spoiling our furry kids!!”
About: Hello! My name is Elizabeth and taking care of pups is one of my favorite things in this world. I have two Golden Retrievers living with me (they are my whole heart) and grew up in a home of 4+ dogs. I previously worked at a doggy daycare / board + train facility in San Antonio, Texas for three years. We would take over 100 dogs a day and I was handling 25 on my own at once. I am highly educated in dog behavior, dog body language, and dog CPR. I will do anything to make sure you feel comfortable leaving your furry best friends in my care. I am a stay at home wife and will be able to attend to your pups 24/7! We are a military family, and I am currently a stay at home wife. I am home pretty much all the time to attend to pets. Our dogs are our best friends and family. Living in Arizona, we are extra cautious that they are monitored with outdoor time and have extra water and time to cool down. Our two golden girls are mostly indoor dogs. We do not mind if they lay on the couch with us or lay on their dog beds. We always have endless toys around the house and lots of treats.
“This woman was amazing! I can’t say that enough. She’s a dog person and goes above and beyond. She also helped me out with next to no notice. I know any pet you bring to her would be safe and exceptionally cared for. I would absolutely trust her with any of my animals.”
“Taylor took great care of our golden retriever for over two weeks. It’s obvious that she has lots of experience looking after dogs and is a responsible and observant person. She noticed something was wrong with our pup and immediately sprang into action. Our pup loved playing with Apollo and her kids. We felt very assured that Mochi was well taken care of and would recommend Taylor to others. Thank you Taylor!”
“Jessica took care of my dog so week. He got walks everyday, lots of fetch, pets and swimming! I couldn’t be more happy with the care she gave my dog and last minute when I came into town for the Gem and Jam Show after another sitter fell through. I’ll use her whenever I come to Tucson. So happy. Thank you!”
“Christina was an amazing host to our pups. They both came home happy and exhausted which is a great thing! I highly recommend her and her family! Thank you so much for everything!”
“Spectacular care! Alicia has been most kind and accommodating for our puppies. She sends us daily updates with the cutest pictures. Our puppies love staying with her and he family 🩷”
About: I have had many pets, including many rescues: dogs,cats,ferrets, hamsters, birds, fish, rats, and guinea pigs. I love my fur babies, and can’t wait yo meet yours! I do require a meet and greet for any boarding in my home, to make sure personalties get along! I'm currently a substitute teacher, so I have a flexible schedule most of the time. Morning visits may be quicker, but my afternoons have more free time to play with your pet ! Due to our current amount of pets(3 dogs, 3 cats, and 2 guinea pigs, I require a meet up in my home prior to any boarding possibilities. I do not want a conflict of pet personalities. They will be well cared for whether in the comfort of their own home or mine!
“Ayla was great! She was able to take us last minute. She kept me informed and sent pictures through out the stay. My husky really enjoyed himself! Will definitely use her again!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Elgin 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 Elgin.
<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 Elgin 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.
