“We were staying in the area for a few weeks. Kelly and Bob watched our pup a few times. They were so great with her. We would definitely have them watch her again if we are back in the area.”

I understand it is important to find a trustworthy and dependent person to care for your fur-babies and I can be that person for you and your family! I available most days of a week excluding Mondays and Wednesday's before 3 pm. This means I am available to cater to your pets needs in any way that may be. I live in a safe environment with a sweet, friendly, and playful one-eyed kitty! However, if needed they can be placed in separate rooms! Please reach out if you have any concerns.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was a little girl. I’ve watched friends and families dogs, fed, walked, bathed, etc. and now I am looking to expand my pet care services. Prefer hypoallergenic dogs and dogs that weigh under 40 lbs, will consider all requests depending on the dog. I always had dogs since I can remember. I look forward to hearing from you! I am home full time and can cater to your dogs specific needs. I can let them out often and we can take walks, and play! I have a fenced in yard, I can allow as much outside or indoor time as your dog is use to. My house is minimal with a lot of room for your dog to explore and or just chill out and have a calm and relaxed environment.
“Communication was great, and we really appreciated the photos and updates while we were away. Rocky seemed happy and content when we picked him up, which gave us so much peace of mind. Will book again!”
“Nancy is very professional and knowledgeable about dogs. She was able to watch our little guy at the last minute when he was recovering from surgery. Her two dogs are super sweet and welcoming. She gave him the TLC he needed and allowed us to enjoy some time away without worrying about him. We’re very grateful.”
About: We’re lifelong dog lovers and know how important it is to feel completely comfortable with the people caring for your pup while you’re away. Our goal is to give dogs a true home-away-from-home experience, with plenty of attention, affection, playtime and time to relax. We both work from home, so dogs in our care are rarely left alone for long stretches and get plenty of attention throughout the day. We also have teenagers who absolutely love dogs, so there is no shortage of extra pets, cuddles and affection in our house. We have a friendly dog of our own who loves other dogs, making our home a great fit for pups who enjoy having a playmate. We encourage supervised playtime and love giving dogs the chance to socialize, burn off some energy and have fun together, while always paying attention to each dog’s individual comfort level and personality. We treat every dog we host like part of the family and are happy to follow your normal feeding, sleeping and medication routines. We’ll also keep you updated with photos so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pup is happy, comfortable and well cared for. Because we both work from home, we’re home most of the day and able to give our guest pups lots of attention, playtime and potty breaks. Daily walks are already part of our routine, usually in the morning and/or evening depending on the weather. Our dog Freddie loves having another pup around to play with, and there’s also plenty of downtime and snuggling throughout the day. We’re happy to adjust our routine to match what your dog is used to at home. We’re very conscientious about safety and want every dog in our home to feel comfortable, secure and well cared for. We have a fully fenced yard for supervised outdoor play and potty breaks, plus a pool for dogs who already enjoy swimming. Pool time is always supervised and completely optional. Our dog Freddie is a friendly, playful Pomsky who loves other dogs and is equally happy to play or snuggle up and relax. We supervise interactions, pay close attention to each dog’s personality and comfort level, and are happy to follow any routines, boundaries or crate preferences you use at home. Since we’re home most of the time, pups are rarely left unattended for long stretches.
“Our senior mutt, Roxie (11.5yrs) went to Will’s for the first time for daycare while we were moving. Walked right in when Michelle greeted her. The place is so well kept. When we picked her up, she was happy & content. We will definitely be taking her back here again. Thank you for the photos, also!”
“Thanks so much to Laree and Keith! I couldn’t be happier that I found you this week. Forest loved you guys and was worn out every evening from his new friends. This made my week so much easier and Forest got a bath too! Wonderful experience!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Fort McDowell
Kelly was a wonderful choice for our Aussi! She was well taken care for and Kelly was very good with communicating and sending us photo updates during her stay. We could tell our girl enjoyed her stay at Kelly home. Shes a solo girl at home so being around other friendly doggies in a home setting vs a doggy daycare facility, was a real treat for her! Would absolutely use Kelly again and recommend her home to someone looking for a reliable and consistent home daycare!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Fort McDowell
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 2,328 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Fort McDowell. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Fort McDowell commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 2,328 sitters in Fort McDowell, 87% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
