“Gina is amazing. She has been watching my dog Lucie for over a month now and I would highly recommend her. Lucie is very well cared for and is excited to get dropped off each day. Gina is so professional and an all round wonderful person and we are very lucky to have her.”
“Simon has loved his two visits with Jennifer! One was a week long stay and once for just the day. Jennifer has been great! Friendly, accommodating and a good communicator. We will definitely continue to bring Simon to her!”
About: Ive loved , raised and trained many personal pups over the years that were Wonderful family members, Ive cared for friends and family pets as well. I work from home as I own an at home bakery, my time will be used to play with your fur baby in between baking my Cheesecakes & Muffins and filling orders. I have a fully fenced yard along with a doggie door and covered back patio where your dog can relax in front of the out door fan, or can hang out inside and play with any number of dog toys .we love our fur buddies.
“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.”
About: I have helped several friends and family members pet sit; and train their dogs. I absolutely adore animals. Specifically dogs and cats. I have experience with all ages, breeds, and sizes. I have rescued many dogs, and some in horrible conditions bringing them back to life with extra care and attention. If I could rescue, help, and love every dog and cat. I would. 🙏💕 I am a caregiver as my primary job, and it is very flexible schedule. I am able to be home a lot when needed. I have a big heart, patient, observant, and detailed oriented. I am able to administer medications and injections as needed. I know each of my dogs have specific needs and regimens. So I would give your babies the same love and attention to their needs. I live in a large home with a yard that is fenced in. It is a 8ft brick wall all the way around. I have the capability of having your dogs kennel and necessary things in my home in their own space, or they can be together with my pups. Anything is possible! I am very flexible to cater to the needs of your babies 🩷 Treat others how you would want to be treated. In other words I would treat your babies how I would want mine to be treated, and mine are spoiled 😂🥰 I am currently am a caregiver for the elderly, about 3-4 days a week. I am scheduled for 4-5hrs at a time. No more than twice a day. I have a lot of extra time to be with your babies and love on them. ❤️ I treat them as my own babies. I make sure that they are taken care of and all the needs that they have are met. I want them to feel comfortable in their environment and feel like an extended family member is taking care of them while you are away. They will be played with, exercised, fed, and able to take care of business outside every 4-5 hrs a day
“We needed someone to watch our 7 year old German Shepherd during the day while I went off and played old man baseball. Kelly turned out to be perfect. Very flexible and didn’t require any of these meet and greets a number of Rover sitters want. Being from out of town that never works. She sent pictures and videos four the four days we used her. Can’t really say much more she seemed to like him and he came back a tired pup. Good Job!!!”
“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.”
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!
“Susan watched our two Huskies for several doggie day care visits. She and her husband were so friendly and easy going, we immediately felt at ease leaving our furbabies with them. You can tell that they really enjoy having dogs around. Our dogs got walks, playtime, and we got plenty of pics/updates. I would highly recommend Susan. She will be one of our first choices when looking for care again.”
“Nicole & Rose V. was absolutely wonderful with my dog! They were attentive, reliable, and made sure my pup was well cared for the entire time. My dog came home happy and relaxed. I could tell he received lots of love and attention. I would definitely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring sitter!”
“Bianca and Derek C. are great dog sitters! Very laid back and easy to talk to when it comes to the care of ur dogs. I needed a sitter at the last minute to go out of town to take care of some things and Bianca came thru for me. She keeps u up to date on ur dogs and responses right away to ur messages. I definitely will be using Bianca again in the future if I need another dog sitter!!! Great job Bianca and thanks again!!!”
“Courtney took my dog 🐕 in as a first time visitor on short notice. My normally shy dog seemed to trust and warm up to her and her dogs very quickly. I got great updates throughout the day and Lucy returned to me happy in the evening. I would definitely leave Lucy here again.”
About: Caring for dogs is something I truly love, and it’s become a big part of my everyday life. I’ve created a home where dogs can feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I know being separated from their family can be stressful for some dogs, so I do everything I can to help them settle in, feel at home, and receive the same love, patience, and attention I’d want for my own pets. I’m home the majority of the day, so dogs get frequent supervision, regular potty breaks, and plenty of companionship throughout their stay. My schedule is flexible and built around the dogs in my care, rather than long stretches away from home. Because I keep my bookings limited, I’m able to give each dog more consistent attention and keep the environment calm and predictable. Drop-off and pick-up times are scheduled in advance so transitions are smooth and low-stress. I’m often booked 8+ weeks in advance, especially during school breaks, summer, and holidays. Repeat families are welcome to check with me about future dates, but new bookings are only held once they are confirmed. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my highest priorities. My home is intentionally set up to provide a safe, calm, and welcoming environment where dogs can relax and feel at home. I carefully introduce new dogs at a pace that’s comfortable for them and closely monitor body language and interactions to help everyone feel safe and confident. Dogs have access to the main living areas of my home and a fully fenced backyard with grass, a dog door, and a covered patio for year-round comfort. I’m home most of the day, providing frequent supervision, regular potty breaks, and plenty of companionship. Fresh water is always available, and I keep the environment clean, safe, and low stress. For added peace of mind, every guest wears an AirTag and ID tag while in my care. Meals are separated from active play to help reduce the risk of bloat, medications are given exactly as instructed, and an emergency veterinary hospital is located about 15 minutes away if ever needed. To provide individualized care, I intentionally keep my group sizes small—typically no more than three guest dogs at a time. I thoughtfully consider each dog’s temperament, play style, and comfort before allowing them to interact. I use calm, positive handling and never punishment-based methods. If a dog shows signs of stress or unsafe behavior, they are immediately separated, monitored closely, and their owner is notified.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Mesa
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!
Lily seemed to have lots of fun in Daejahs beautiful yard! And also enjoyed lots of comfy couch cuddles. I was not worried at all while Lily was in her care. Sent lots of cute pictures and videos of Lily chasing birds outside too! She was also very flexible with pick up times since my husbands job is very unpredictable. We appreciated the flexibility. Would definitely book again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Mesa on Rover is $37.62 per day (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 2,425 sitters in Mesa, 88% 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 calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
