“Christi was amazing to work with. It’s clear she loves dogs and wants to make sure your pup has a good experience. She took wonderful care of my dog and went above and beyond when we thought Willow might have a UTI. My dog came home happy and tired. :) I will absolutely use her again!”
“Carlitos came home tired from a fun night at Amber’s! He really enjoys going there and gets visibly excited to go into the home which makes boarding him that much easier.”
“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.”
“Adriana is the absolute best. My pups love her so much they aren’t even excited to see me when I get back! Lol. She does a wonderful job of keeping me updated and loving on my babies. I even had a slight delay in my flight and she was so accommodating. I had nothing to worry about and could enjoy my vacation knowing my pups were in good hands.”
“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!”

“Heidi is wonderful! Our 2 boys were well cared for and very active while in her care. She sent frequent updates with pictures and videos. It was wonderful to get away for a short family trip knowing our other family members were also having some fun. Thank you again to Heidi and her family for being so patient and kind with our dogs.”

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.”

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!

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.
