“Our dog Murphy was so happy with his stay! He was right at home and getting plenty of exercise and love. Definitely book with them and you won’t worry, your dog is in great hands. Can’t wait to use them again and Murphy can’t either!”
“Monna is The Best! She took such good care of our little shih tzu —walking her, feeding her and most of all loving her.! Our doggie was missing Monna when we brought her home!!”
“Super sweet couple! We were concerned about leaving our new rescue pup, but they sent pics and sweet words every day and made us feel very comfortable that she was in the right place!”
“Su did a great job watching our dog, we have used her before and she always does great! Helpful updates and pictures daily, wonderful service. Thank you!”
“Brooke and her family were wonderful sitters! My two dogs are very anxious around strangers, but Brooke provided a very relaxed environment for the dogs and, based on all the pictures she sent me, both dogs adjusted very quickly and loved having the run of their big back yard. I would highly recommend Brooke and plan to use their services in the future. THANK YOU!!!”
“I couldn't ask for a better situation at Cleve. I felt at ease at the visit but it was better. Poe felt so comfortable that he went to bed with them and wrestled with Cleve. I was sent pictures everyday to see how Poe was doing.”
“James and Erin are amazing. Our dogs love them and they always send picture updates! They are also very quick to respond and amazing to work with. We’ve had to adjust our pickups a couple times and they’ve always been so understanding! We will definitely keep booking with them!!!”
“Hello Lauren, Thank you and your family so much for taking such great care of Java. We are so grateful we found you. Thanks again for all the pictures and updates during her visit. Best regards”
“Eric was truly amazing, believe every single outstanding review. It is very clear that he and his husband are so caring and loving towards the animals they keep. My two pups seemed comfortable and content the entire 5 days we were gone like they were with family. My husband and I went on a cruise and didn't have the best service but that didn't stop Eric from updating us everyday with pictures, videos, and a rundown of the day. And of course we cannot forget the cutest portraits of my pups that he took. Those are definitely our new favorite pictures! Anyone would be lucky to book with this household!”
“Lauren was the best! She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures and videos. We felt great having her care for our pup and we’ll definitely use her again!”
“Jenna went above and beyond for our 9 month old puppy! From the beginning of the process to picking our buddy up, Jenna was detail-oriented, caring, and communicative. She made sure she completely understood his routine so he would feel as comfortable as possible while we were away, and she even worked on some training with him while he was there. We loved getting pictures and videos of him throughout his stay, and it was so sweet seeing how close he and Bailey became! We truly felt like we left Dunk in the best hands and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We would absolutely recommend Jenna to anyone and will definitely be reaching out to her again!”
“I felt instantly comfortable with this family and was able to go on vacation without a worry. They sent me photos on updates and just to let me know how things were going. I can’t recommend this family more. Their lifestyle and space is perfect. Will definitely use them again!!!”
“I was nervous leaving my older dog over the holidays but I was almost immediately at ease after dropping him off with Menaj. She was so welcoming, kind and gentle with him. She sent pictures frequently and I saw him splooting, rolling around and following her around the house—like he does at home. A sure sign that he was comfortable and well cared for. He’s a picky eater and she was patient with him. She had other dogs but not too many and there’s plenty of room for them. I highly recommend.”
“Laurie and her family are amazing!! In all the photos and videos we receive, it’s so easy to tell how relaxed both our dogs are with them. From cuddling on the couch to playing with their two dogs, our pups come home worn out and happy!!”
“Michelle and Cyrus were so wonderful with our dogs. They have an excellent set up at the house and in their back yard for the dogs. Michelle was very responsive and attentive. She sent pictures and videos every day which helped ease our minds being away from our babies for a week. They took such great care of our pups and we are so grateful! We highly recommend Michelle and Cyrus.”
“Shahla was absolutely amazing. From the very beginning, she was professional, communicative, and genuinely caring. You can tell she truly loves animals and treats them like her own. She kept me updated with pictures and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My dog came back happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. The attention to detail and level of responsibility she showed really stood out. It’s not easy trusting someone with your pet, but Shahla made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. I would 100% book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable, kind, and attentive. Thank you again, Shahla — you’re the best!”
“Julie and her husband are amazing people that made it so simple for me to leave Mamaz and Bella. They updated us with beautiful pictures the whole weekend. Mamaz and Bella were happy and healthy when we picked them up. I’d definitely book them again. Thank you so much Julie and your beautiful family.”
“Joyce helped watch our dog for almost a 2 week period. Joyce provided daily updates which was very comforting while we were out of town. We also had some travel delays and Joyce was extremely accommodating to schedule timing changes. We will definitely be rebooking with Joyce!”
“Bentley had a great time staying with Camille. She rode around the pool on a boogie board, played with the other doggie visitors, received lots of cuddles and was even hand fed so she would eat!! Bentley is already looking forward to her next stay.”

Pet 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!

There are 3,077 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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.
