“The family took wonderful care of my doggo while I was away for a weekend. I really appreciated the meet and greet ahead of time and loved how respectful the kids were with my dog. She was well loved and very well cared for while she was staying with the family.”
“Laurie was just wonderful with our dog Whiskey. Her house is spotless, there’s a great back yard for dogs to play in, and her two doodles are adorable. Great communication, and she made sure Whiskey was happy and comfortable at all times. He had a blast and was tired but happy when I picked him up. I would board him here again without hesitation:)”
“Kendall was VERY attentive to the needs of our Peach. She went above and beyond to make Peach feel comfortable in her home. I would definitely recommend Kendall as a “critter sitter”. Thanks so much Kendall.”
“Stacy and her family were great! Jasmine came home relaxed and happy. We could tell she had a very good experience. Stacy also did a wonderful job communicating and sending pictures which gave us peace of mind knowing our dog was happy and well taken care of. We highly recommend Stacy and will be using her again.”
“Kaidan and her partner were such great sitters! My Persian boy even made a friend with their cat Yuzu during his time at their place! I was provided with so many pictures to give me a piece of mind knowing my furry buddy was being taken good care of. I highly recommend! Thanks!!”
“Su was amazing! We got tons of updates on our two dogs and lots of cute pictures while we were away. We knew they were happy and in great hands. This was our first time trying Rover and leaving our dogs with a stranger, but Su took wonderful care of them. We can’t recommend her highly enough!”
“Teresa was great! She communicated well and sent us updates on our pups, which we love! Her home was clean and tons of space for our pups. We will absolutely be rebooking with Teresa in the future. :)”
“Mellanie did amazing with Luna! She sent regular updates and pictures which gave us peace of mind while we were out of town. I would definitely recommend her and book her again in the future!”
About: Hi! My name is Jenna and I have a passion caring for all animals, big and small! I have one dog at home (my fur baby Cali) I am a dog lover at heart💕 I have been around animals my whole life, and my #1 priority is your pets care and safety🩷 I love being outdoors in nature, and going for walks. I have experience caring for/training puppies, as well as senior dog care and medication administration. I am currently in nursing school, and outside of class I am able to work from home, allowing me to be present and do what I love, spending time and caring for your fur baby! 💕🐾 We have a fenced backyard and plenty of space for your fur babies to run around and play. We also have a doggie door so pets can go in and out as they please! Our dog Cali loves to play with and meet new doggie friends! We allow dogs on our couch, bed etc. (Our dog sleeps in bed with us at night and we have had other dogs do the same too) so we are totally comfortable with that :)
“Jayne was absolutely amazing! She took care of Kevin so well and was very communicative! She went above and beyond for us by bringing Kevin to our wedding. I couldn’t say anything better and would recommend her to anyone who is looking”
“Maria sends me lots of photos so I can keep track of my cat. She's very reliable, and I don't have to worry about the cat at all when I'm not home.”
“Kevin and Kathleen were wonderful to work with. They have such a sweet family, who all loved and cared for our pup. They were quick to respond and sent daily updates with pictures. It’s obvious that they really love the animals they are caring for. We will definitely be using them again in the future!”
“First time Rover users here! My husband and I usually only leave our dog with family and have never had anybody else watch him. We did not want him to have to stay at petsmart, or another facility since our trip was almost a week long. I had so much anxiety trying to find a place for him that I could trust. Mindy alleviated ALL our anxiety right away. We had our meet and greet and our dog Odin immediately felt at home. We knew he was in safe hands. We know Odin tends to be a handful and I was worried that he may be too crazy or misbehave, but Mindy made me feel at ease that he would not be to much for them. The best part is that she sent me 2-3 pictures At least a day while we were gone which was a pleasant surprise because most sitters would not take the time out of their day to do so! She went above and beyond for our boy and as he is our first and only dog we are so grateful to find somebody who loves dogs as much as we do! Not to mention our dog has history of seizures and we wanted to make sure he was at a place that we felt safe if anything were to happen while away. Mindy asked all the right questions and he had no issues during his stay. We hope to be able to book with her for any future vacations, her family is the best!”
“Having never used Rover before I was a little nervous, but Michael and Giovanna were amazing. They took excellent care of my high energy, golden retriever and provided lots of updates and photos throughout the week. I would highly recommend Michael and Giovanna. Thank you, both, for taking such great care of Gracie!”
“Christy and family took excellent care of Peppy. Peppy had foot surgery 10 days before her stay and was given care for her foot, as well as given lots of attention.”
“Tasha and her family are very loving and kind with our dog. They are extremely responsible and patient with our Hana, who enjoys staying with Tasha and her family. I highly recommend Tasha! She is great!”
“Matty had a great time and came back a happy camper! Jesse and his wife were great, they were patient with Matty even though he is a very energetic puppy. They played with him, met his needs and gave him all of the cuddles. I appreciated very much the updates and the photos. Would definitely recommend and would definitely rebook :)”
“It was my 1st time using Rover and was a bit anxious, but everything went well! I came back to a happy puppy. Highly recommended. Even though I was busy, Kameron still updated me with pics and I can just tell my puppy was enjoying her stay.”
“Sequoia had such a great stay with Briony. I got lots of updates and pictures of Sequoia playing with her toys and just enjoying her time. Briony was also very responsive.”

Christopher provided exceptional care to my greyhound and whippet! It was evident from the meet & greet that he's a genuine animal lover, and my dogs felt right at home with him. Christopher asked all the right questions, provided daily photo updates, and made my boys feel like family. I plan to book again with him in the future.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
There are 3,098 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Fort McDowell. About 92% of Fort McDowell sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
