Doggy Day Care • Jul 08, 2026

Sara was so sweet and calm personality, my dog looked so happy when I pick him up. She was very responsive and sent pictures of Byron and a video, I recommend Sara for any future services. We definitely will.

Sara and her kids did a great job with my little girl Tiramisu. She was given a lot of attention and looked very happy in all of the pictures that I was sent. She was also extremely flexible with drop-off and pick-up times. I would definitely use Sara again!

Sara was great with Henry and made the whole process easy. He came home happy and well cared for, and I felt comfortable leaving him with her. Thanks again!

This was my first time using Rover.com. I chose Sara because of her good reviews, she takes only 1 client at a time and was at home during the day. Sara was a good communicator who responded quickly every time I checked in on my dog Jewel. I could tell in the pictures she sent Jewel was happy and settling in with the rest of the family. Sara is trust worthy and a very experienced dog sitter. I would highly recommend her. (she’s also close to the airport, another bonus) 😊🐶

Schedule

I work from home which allows me the flexibility to create time for caring for pets including taking them out for walks or jogs (if they’re up for it) along the trails nearby. I will follow individual pet care instructions, if provided but if not our daily routine consists of a morning routine walk and feeding time, one to two more short walks in the afternoon, second feeding and a walk in the evening. Depending on their energy levels we’ll include indoor play/fetch time. But if they’re happy to just sit and relax, we like to do that too :)

Safety, trust & environment

When boarding your pet, I follow all care instructions you provide. Including feeding times, and oral medications if needed. My apartment home is spacious. The community is pet-friendly and we have a fitness/biking trail just in our backyard. I live 3 miles from Phoenix Sky Harbor making it convenient for drop-off/ pickup.

A typical day

I offer a variety of fun activities for dogs if they have the energy for it, including walks in parks, hikes, playtime at the park and visit to dog-friendly trails. But totally fine if they just like to chill. We keep all playing indoors during summer months.

Important information to know ahead of time about your pet includes current medications, any current injuries, behavioral tendencies, special dietary needs, and any specific instructions or preferences. I prefer pets to be fully potty trained.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
