“Christina is very responsive and helped put my mind at ease when leaving my pup for the first time. My dog loves Christina and her family and has so much fun while he's there. He has so much fun playing and is always worn out when I pick him up! 🐶”
“Terrific experience with Kevin and Izzy. For us, the initial experience of leaving Kouver with someone else is stressful, but not in this case. Kevin treated Kouver like he was his own. A great touch when we received an unsolicited video showing Kouver and Izzy out enjoying their walk. Really appreciate not having to ask for updates. Highly recommend.”
“We all love, Carolyn! My dog is our first born child. Knowing she was being well taken care of by someone who loves dogs as much as we do definitely put my mind at ease. With the daily photos and messages we received it sure made us be able to enjoy our time away. We will always choose Carolyn first since she is like a new member to our family.”
“Heidi was an amazing host for both my pups! I knew they were in great hands and it was really sweet to offer her time for a meet and greet a couple weeks before the stay. Thank you Heidi!!!”
“THE MOST AMAZING fur baby sitter you will ever find! Every time we go out of town our puppies are loved and taken care of perfectly! Julie and fam you guys are the best!!!”
“Treated my dog Scout like family! So happy with how well taken care of he was, as it was his first time away from us since we got him as a puppy. Will definitely book again when we go out of town!”
“It was my 1st time using Rover and was a bit anxious, but everything went well! I came back to a happy puppy. Highly recommended. Even though I was busy, Kameron still updated me with pics and I can just tell my puppy was enjoying her stay.”
“Ryan is an amazing dog sitter! He took excellent care of my pup Beau, and I could see the genuine connection between them. Ryan goes above and beyond, taking Beau on hikes, runs, and plenty of walks. The communication is fantastic, with regular updates and photos. I highly recommend Ryan for anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. Beau came back happy and tired - a sign of a great time! Thank you, Ryan!”
“Camille did a great job! Pretty sure my dog was happier at her place than he is at mine! He is not always great with other dogs, but Camille had him playing with her other guests in no time. If we ever need a pet sitter again, we'll be going right back to Camille.”
“Adriana is amazing. My babies loved being at her house! She’s kind and caring. I had no stress or anxiety about them being in her care. Her place is quiet and cozy. I am so thankful for her taking such good care of my pups.”
“My doggos and I love Joyce and Natalie. Their house is a home away from home for them. And it’s their first time. It’s like a grandma visit for the week. They keep you updates and send pictures everyday. Highly recommend.”
“Melissa was so very kind to fit me in last minute! She was professional and was prompt in all communication. She was a sweetheart and my dog adored her. Her home and yard are immaculate and very safe. I highly recommend using her for your dog boarding needs. I will definitely use her again when down in the area.”
“Sara was great during Houzzers stay! I know he had an awesome time with the other doggies that were there. She was prompt and communicative during the scheduling process and she sent videos and pictures. Thank you!”
“The dogs were happy and we got picture updates and they even brought in Santa to visit the dogs and sent pictures! I have left my puppies here several times without issue.”
“Christy was amazing with my 5 month old puppy Chip! I loved the daily updates and photo's of Chip. I had so much piece of mind knowing he was in great hands on my trip. I would highly recommend Christy and will absolutely book her again! Chip came home so happy and healthy! Thank you Christy!!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Fort McDowell
Kelly came highly recommended from a friend and did not disappoint. She communicated quickly, was friendly and professional, and sent pictures daily (some of the best photographs of any Rover pet sitter we've used). Our golden had an amazing time and was well taken care of... I swear he looked disappointed when we showed up and he realized he had to leave. Thank you, Kelly!

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Fort McDowell on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
96% of Fort McDowell sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Fort McDowell landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Fort McDowell 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 Fort McDowell.
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 Fort McDowell 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.
