“Thank you for watching Atlas!! He came home super sleepy and happy so I know he had a great time. Always responded fast and gave me lovely pictures of him interacting with her family. Couldn't have asked for a better experience!”
About: I absolutely adore animals and have been working with them for as long as I can remember. I worked in an animal shelter for years, and I am currently an animal care specialist with marine animals. I currently own 3 dogs, and adventuring with them is my favorite way to make beautiful memories! I have fostered many cats from bottle baby kittens, to hospice seniors. I also own 2 horses that take me on awesome adventures through the desert. I look forward to meeting your pets! I do work from home, so I can fit in drop ins and walks! I can also take certain dogs for boarding at my home, and will be home with them most of every day :) I have a fenced in yard and 3 other friendly dogs. I prefer your dog be crate trained so they can be left separately when unattended.
“Jerron took great care of our two dogs while we were visiting Mesa and was very quick in responding to my last minute request. I think my boys were couch potatoes the whole day, but that tells me they were comfortable there and were able to get some respite from our travels. We will book with Jarron again next time we need a sitter in Mesa!”
“We were so fortunate to have Courtney watch our Maggie this past Thursday and Friday. She was so good with our little girl since this was the first time she stayed with anyone other than my daughter. She was scared at first and Courtney sent the cutest picture of her in her lap as her co-worker. We are very pleased in how well she loved our little girl as much as we do. I would highly recommend her to everyone. Thanks again Courtney. Five plus stars for sure. 😊😋”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and love having them around. There is nothing like the unconditional love of a dog! People say I’m the dog whisperer because they just seem to like me. I’m retired so I’m home. I do puzzles and reading and I really enjoy the company of dogs, walking them helps me get my steps in. I can take care of feeding and walking dogs. I do live in an apt and walk my dog 4 times a day, so they would get plenty of exercise and lots of hugs!
“Shelly has a great big backyard perfect for dogs to run around. She was very friendly, easy to work with and my doggies seemed to love the attention from her kids.”
“Thank you for watching tallulah and for helping with the crazy morning I was having when she locked herself in the car with the keys. I will definitely have her come when I have some out of town work and need a sitter.”
About: I’m dependable, easygoing, and always make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for. I take time to learn their routine and personality so they feel at ease while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just hanging out, I’m happy to give them the attention they need. Between me and my wife, there's always someone around to give pets attention and care. We work as a team to make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and part of the family while they’re with us. Our 3 year old shitzu is very relaxed and has stayed with many different animals in the past, she loves to have playmates. And our kids (8-16) love to help give some quality attention as well. At our place, pets get lots of room to run and play in the fenced yard, plus a comfy spot inside to chill. When I’m at your home, I follow your usual routine to keep things easy and familiar for your pet. Either way, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for.
“Jenny felt right at home and couldn't wait to go back the second day! I'll definitely return to Paula the next time we need daycare! Communication and updates were great and very much appreciated!”
About: I have more than 25 years of dog and pet care experience. I have a deep love for all animals, but especially dogs. I would love to meet you and walk your pups! Im available 7 days a week anytime, and I would love to meet you and walk your pups! I have more than 25 years of dog care experience, and I am very trustworthy and reliable. I am able to crate your dog when necessary, and I have a fenced backyard for safety. I have 2 dogs that are very friendly and available to be playmates if you desire.
“They’re the best! They kept me updated throughout my puppy’s stay and sent lots of pictures. He loved playing with their dog and had so much fun! I’d definitely book with them again!”
“Pamela takes such good care of my miniature schnauzer puppy! She takes her on walks every morning and has a big backyard for the pups to play in. Pamela is dependable and reliable!”
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 :)
About: As a lifelong animal lover working from home full-time, I provide constant supervision, 'office mate' snuggles, and frequent potty breaks in a stress-free environment. Your pet will receive my undivided attention in a true home-away-from-home setting, including a large fenced yard for secure play and daily long walks! I am also experienced in senior care and dedicated to keeping your fur baby safe, active, and loved all day long. I work from home full time with a very flexible schedule. I am available for walks throughout the day and potty breaks as needed. I will provide daily updates with photos and videos to make you feel comfortable! I have a single story home with a fenced in backyard. We have a large crate if needed, but we had a velcro dog and know how important it is for animals to feel safe and secure, so they are more than welcome to spend as much time near me as they want!
About: My dedication to understanding and meeting each dog’s unique needs. I take the time to learn about your pup’s personality, preferences, and routines, ensuring they feel comfortable, secure, and loved while you're away. With a perfect balance of exercise and safety, I make sure your dog enjoys their time with me. Growing up surrounded by animals, caring for pets has always been a passion of mine. Rest assured, your furry family members will be treated with the same love and care as if they were my own. 🐾 I’m currently in school and working part-time. My work schedule is flexible, and since most of my classes are online, I’m home for most of the day. The care I provide for pets in my home or my client's home depends on the specific service being provided. Boarding 🏠: I like to ensure that pets receive care, attention, and exercise according to their routines. This includes feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and any special needs or behavioral requirements. I also prioritize creating a safe and comfortable space. During Drop-In Visits 🎾 : I provide care based on your pet's needs. This typically includes feeding, fresh water, playtime, and bathroom breaks. I also check for any signs of illness or discomfort, and follow any specific instructions you've provided, such as administering medications or taking pets for short walks. I always ensure that your pet feels safe and comfortable while you're away.
“Megan, I appreciate you so much! Your flexibility with me during a stressful time means a great deal to me. And Ellie was excited to spend time at your house each time we arrived, which made it so easy to focus on what I needed to get done. Thank you!”
“This was my first time leaving Aloy with anyone else, ever(!!!) and Micaela made it such a easy and simple process. :) I got tons of pictures throughout the day to let me know she was okay. Aloy loved her stay there and even made a friend. I'll definitely use her service again!”
About: I grew up on the east coast with an abundance of animals ranging from lizards, cats, dogs, snakes, rats, mice, frogs, toads, fish, crabs, and snails! I was often the first call amongst my friends when they needed someone to watch their pet while they were away, and grew very fond of caretaking. I have two dogs myself, and two cats. The dogs have a fully fenced cinder block grass yard, with a high latch metal gate, and grass with a large tree for shade. We also have a splash pad and a doggie pool to keep them cool in the heat! I am a stay at home mom. My son is 3 years old, and great with pets since he has been around them since birth. Our schedule allows me to be at home full time for unlimited potty breaks, morning/sunset walks, and constant attention/play time. Your dog must be tolerant with other dogs, cats, and kids! My fully fenced grassy yard offers dogs with high energy needs a place to run, chew, and play! My dog, Zinnie, is a social butterfly at the dog park and loves making new friends. She will also want to cuddle any new dog that comes over! My other dog, Buddha, is an old lady - usually preferring to lounge under the shaded tree and watch birds. She will occasionally play with other dogs, but is fine being a wall flower. We have a pet gate and multiple rooms for feeding if your dog is an anxious eater! Since I am always home, I can maintain whatever feeding times your animal baby is used to. A main water source is provided for the dogs outside to prevent over heating, and the dogs will always have the autonomy to come inside whenever they choose, as we usually leave the connecting door open for them. Couch and bed cuddlers are welcome here! I will treat your animals with respect, giving them the independence to play while their parents are away, coupled with the structure of care to make pet parents feel as comfy as possible. Pic and video updates are provided as well. If you want a daily run down of what your pet did during their stay, I will provide that as well. I am also versed in the fine arts of hiding medication in treats if your animal needs to take their meds. Syringed medicine is no issue as well.

Serena was able to take in Jupiter (senior greyhound) and Arnie (whippet pup) on short notice on a weekday afternoon, and took excellent care of them, reassuring my anxious dogs after a cross-country road trip. She was communicative, attentive, and has proven a capable and caring sitter. Thank you so much!
Jerron took great care of our two dogs while we were visiting Mesa and was very quick in responding to my last minute request. I think my boys were couch potatoes the whole day, but that tells me they were comfortable there and were able to get some respite from our travels. We will book with Jarron again next time we need a sitter in Mesa!
Michelle was fantastic with Max, my 17-year-old dog. Max has separation anxiety, but he seemed calm when I left him and he was taking a nap when I picked him up. He even came back clean and brushed! I will definitely be leaving Max with Michelle any time I am in the area and need a dog-sitter.
Paige was incredible with my anxious, high-energy little guy. He’s been fearful of grass, but she encouraged him and he had his very first brave yard adventure! Seeing the happy photos she sent meant everything. He’s also very cuddly, and she gave him all the snuggles he needed. I felt completely at ease the whole time. He was safe, loved, and so well cared for. Paige has a beautiful home, a beautiful yard and is very communicative. Highly recommend!
Maria is very experienced. She has dealt with all ages of doggies— including puppies. It was my first time sourcing a doggy-sitter and she understood that my puppy needed a lot of caring. She communicated with me throughout the entire time and sent me pictures to give me an ease of mind. I would definitely be willing to take my puppy with her as needed.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Mesa is $37 per day as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $50 per day. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 2,450 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Mesa. 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 Mesa 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.
As of October 2026, there are 2,450 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of AZ. Enter your address or desired location to see which available sitters are closest to you.
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 .
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 , 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 .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
