“Christina does a wonderful job caring for our dog Cookie! We get adorable pictures and updates daily and Cookie has the best time! It’s such a relief to not worry about our fur baby when we’re out of town!”
“Kevin was amazing with my dog Zuri. My dog had a great time. Kevin’s place is clean, safe and easily accessible for drop offs and pick up. I enjoyed getting an update and picture of my dog while I was away. Thank you, Kevin. Highly recommend.”
“Spoiled, spoiled, spoiled. That’s what they did with our Kayla, the family bonded with our Kayla like she was part of their family. It’s really hard finding people that treat your babies like you do !!! Jaclyn and William and their children are so sweet if there was 10 times over stars I would give them hundreds. My girl is a pitty mix it’s hard to explain that she’s a sweet girl, but the family took right to her. Thank you for loving our Kayla like your own..”
“Kelly is an amazing person. She loves pets, and Aiko had an excellent time with her. She sent us photos all the time and always stayed in touch. I would definitely leave Aiko with her again.”
“ESPN had a great time. Carrie took care of our dog like she was her own. Carrie arranged a meeting before we left her which was so nice since this is our 1st dog and 1st time using this app. Would like to keep her all for us, but she is to awesome. Hopefully we can continue to book with her”
“Celeste took great care of our fur babies. She sent constant updates and photos. Celeste was very quick to respond to any message. We were worried due to the fact that neither of my cat nor dog has ever stayed outside our home. They were just fine they looked great and very happy when we picked them up. We have our sitter for as long as she does it. Thank you Celeste and Violet!”
“Briana and Brandon are the best! This was my our first time using Rover and they treated our dogs amazing. I got super cute pics of the pups and she kept us informed everyday letting us know how the pups were doing. Highly recommended these guys. Thanks again”
“Although we have used and been happy with Rover pet sitters in the past, we feel in finding Adriana we hit the Jackpot!!!! From our initial contact with her we were impressed with her lovely and caring demeanor. She related so naturally and comfortably with us and our little Brynnley, demonstrating her kindness and obvious love of these little fur-babies. Our plan always when we need to leave Brynn in someone's care is to provide a safe and positive experience for him and we certainly were assured of this through the many messages, pictures and videos Adriana sent several times a day! And I would be remiss if I didn't mention her beautiful home and yard...what a fun place for puppers to run and play...and comfy couches to cuddle. Great experience...thank you Adriana & Kayla”
“Anabelle and her son Esteban are great! They took my dog on moments notice due to an emergency with a sitter needing to cancel. Oliver got top notch treatment with walks to the park and lots of play time with other dogs. I recommend them and will use them again!”
“Having boots stay with Amy was incredible! She is a very caring, competent, and wonderful person overall. We got daily videos and pictures of our dog which warmed the heart, as we were abroad!”
“Went above and beyond to make sure Katie and KC were well taken care of. KC WASN’T EATING HIS REGULAR FOOD. SHE OFFERED DIFFERENT OPTIONS AND FOUND WHAT HE WOULD EAT. IT BROUGHT ME COMFORT KNOWING THAT SHE WASN’T GOING TO LET HIM GO WITHOUT EATING. I FEEL VERY RELAXED WHEN I HAVE CAROLYN CARE FOR MY GERIATRIC SWEET DOGS.”
“Lisa provided a wonderful stay away from my home for my dog Rocky. She was very responsive and attuned to my dog’s needs. It was easy to tell she really cares for your dog during their stay. Rocky quickly settled into their beautiful home and enjoyed lounging in their spacious yard. Would highly recommend and book again!”
“Krysten was GREAT! She has many repeat customers, and she has many years of experience. She is also very knowledgeable in taking care of dogs. Krysten was great with my Boston Terrier. She took great care of my boy Stanley while we were away for 5 days. Without reservation I would certainly recommend Krysten to anyone who needs a trustworthy person. Thank you Krysten..”
“Brandon and his family take such good care of my senior dog Max. I feel so at ease when I go on a trip knowing he's in excellent hands. Even when I'm away I get to see what he's up to with daily picture updates.”
“Shahla was great. She was very experienced with taking care of senior dogs and out 14 year old English Bulldog was no exception. It’s always tough leaving a pet but Shahla made this so much easier. She was excellent with communication as well. Highly recommend.”
“Jackie was wonderful with my senior dog, Shelby. I could tell immediately upon our first ‘meet & greet’ in Jackie’s home that my dog was completely at ease there and totally relaxed—which gave me great peace of mind. Jackie sent daily updates and was very adept at administering Shelby’s meds and keeping her doggie routine. 😊. I highly recommend Jackie to anyone looking to have a kind, reliable and communicative person looking after their pet.”
“Anna was an amazing dog sitter! I live in a camper van full time and had to fly home for a week. She was kind enough to keep some of my things and water my plants while I was away. I got multiple updates and pictures every day which was awesome! Highly recommend!!”

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 $44.4 per night (as of July 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 .
As of July 2026, there are 3,033 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Fort McDowell. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
95% 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.
