“Crosby enjoyed his time with Amber. I wanted Crosby to be with little dogs as he is only 15 pounds. Amber was very prompt on responding and very friendly. She sent us pictures of him everyday.”
“Curtis and family were wonderful!! They were welcoming from the very beginning. I was excited and confident in having my dog stay with them for an extended weekend after the meet and greet, and will absolutely consider them for repeat stays. They loved and cared for my high energy, 3 y/o mini Aussie, all quirks included. Their house is dog friendly and I appreciate their communication while I was away.”
“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.”
“Kelly helped us at the last minute, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Great communication. She and Connor seemed to really love Pretzel. And Jeezy is an awesome laidback dog.”
“Such a sweet family. We broke down and we were a day late picking up. Without hesitation they offered to keep her an extra day. Will definitely ask them again if the occasion arrives we need a sitter.”
“Krysten was amazing and took such great care of our dog, Smurf, while we were out of town for the weekend. She sent pictures and was very easy to communicate with. We highly recommend her and will definitely be using her again! Thanks Krysten!”
“Yanique was so amazing with our boy. I have never boarded him before, and was very nervous since he is usually very shy around new people and hasn’t had much interaction with other animals. but Yanique went above and beyond to ensure he had his own space and had so much patience with him he eventually got the courage to explore her home and he even made other kitty friends. She sent great pictures and updates, I really felt comfortable leaving him in her care. She treats each cat like they were her own. I would 100% recommend Yanique.”
“Celeste was awesome sauce. Very attentive with Mathius and if he's happy so I'm I. Great with communication and also accommodating with times for drop and pick. Thanks J. Scott”
“My pups had another wonderful stay with Matthew, Rebecca and their awesome family! They always get lots of love and attention, plus a big yard to play in. Couldn’t be a happier place to stay. Thank you!”
“My pups are so exhausted! Thank you so much for watching my 2 dogs! Seems like they had such a great time since they are ready for a nap after getting home. They are so happy and well taken care of. Thank you for the multiple photos and updates each day. We are blessed they had such a fantastic time with you all! Until next time!”
“Brandon was incredibly accommodating when I had a least minute scheudle change and needed to find a dog sitter. Him and his family took excellent care of my pup, and I was very appreciative of the nightly photo updates. I will absolutely reach back out to Brandon when we need a sitter again!”
“I am so glad that we chose Lisa to board our dog while on vacation! She took such good care of her, sent a picture and little update every day, and even accommodated an unexpected extra night for us when we had to extend our trip. We will absolutely be booking again!”
“Highly recommend Anna! She was fantastic with our Lexi. This was the first time we had left her for anytime, let along 18 days. Anna kept updated and sent wonderful pictures of her with notes on how she was doing. I am pretty sure Lexi would have stayed forever since she received the VIP treatment! We will definitely be a repeat customer!”
“Caroline was very helpful watching our boys during our wedding week! She was so patient to our boys after a few accidents and was still so incredibly kind to them even after! 10/10 recommend!!”
“Carolyn was so great to our pup. He had plenty of play time, and we got lots of updates on how we was doing. This was the first time he had gone to a pet sitter, and he did great!!”
“Thank you, Jackie, for taking such good care of our Annie girl. We really appreciated the daily pics. It assured us she was in good hands with a family that cares. You have a lovely home and I am so happy to have found you. We will definitely be calling you again for our next vacation. ? ?”
“Great staycation for our little man while we were out of town & the daily pics & updates made our trip a great one too!!! The 3 of us are staunch fans of Adriana & Kayla 💗. Thx always for your loving care.”

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!

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.
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.
