“Lori took such great care of Dexter and kept me updated on how he was doing. Dexter took a liking to her right away. I can’t thank her enough for treating him with such care! It put me at ease while being away. Thank you so much!”
“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.”
“Dylan was wonderful so accommodating for last minute adjustments. Most importantly, took great care of our four legged baby. We came back to a very happy puppy, and loved receiving updates from his stay. We will keep Dylan in mind for future bookings and recommend him to anyone. Thank you!!”

“Heidi gave Roscoe all the love, care, and attention he gets at home. She is an outstanding sitter and caregiver. She sent us updates and photos every day; that gave us great peace of mind and helped us better enjoy our vacation. She accepted him into her home and treated him like family. We very highly recommend her as a sitter of choice!”
“DJ did a wonderful job of keeping us informed and updated about our Sr pup. He made sure she had plenty of exercise and care. I would not hesitate to have him take care of our dog again.”
“Brooke was amazing and my dog is very shy at first and she made her feel so comfortable and just at home. The updates are amazing Brooke sends and makes you feel at ease leaving your fur baby ?”
“Menaj was awesome! She took amazing care of my puppy Rusty and my older dog Lilly. Thank you Menaj for the love you gave my babies while I was gone:)”
“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.”
“Jackie did an excellent job taking care of our dog when we went out of town. She always kept us updated and sent us pictures of our dog having a great time at her house. I felt completely comfortable leaving our dog in Jackie’s care and knew that he was getting quality care and attention. I highly recommend Jackie and will definitely book with her again the next time we need someone to watch our little dog.”
“Everything we could have hoped for and more. Our one-year old, high energy boy is worn out and very happy after spending 3 days with Carrie. She sent us pictures and updates regularly and has been nothing but pleasant and reliable. We feel so lucky to have found her. Game changer.”
“Sure — here’s a more straightforward, clean version: Matthew and Rebecca took great care of my two Shih Tzus while we were traveling. They were reliable, communicative, and clearly attentive to the dogs’ needs. I felt comfortable knowing my dogs were in good hands, and I came home to two happy, well-cared-for pups. I would gladly trust them again and recommend them to anyone needing dependable pet care.”
“Adriana was such a wonderful sitter for our Pip! She set my mind at ease and kept me updated with the cutest pictures and videos with the other friends she was watching. Thanks so much, Adriana! :) I’m sure Pip would love to stay with you again!!! 😊❤️”
“Our little furry girl loved staying with Jaclyn and William. She loves children and I always look for sitters with kids and/or dogs. Their house ticked all the boxes. Highly recommend . They love all dogs”
“Here’s a polished review for Kelly: Kelly was an amazing dog sitter! She was reliable, kept me updated throughout the day, and showed so much kindness and playfulness with my puppy, Reign. It was clear she genuinely cared and made sure Reign was happy and comfortable. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”

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 .
As of September 2026, there are 3,086 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.
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.
