“I never once felt worried while Ashton was in Michelle’s care. From the very beginning, she made me feel completely comfortable and reassured. It was clear how much Ashton was genuinely cared for - my dog was happy, well-loved, and treated like their own. I’m so grateful to have found someone I can truly trust and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a caring, reliable puppy babysitter.”
“Lauren was so great with my old man! She took care of him Christmas week. He definitely seemed like he was at home 🥰. She was the sweetest as well. Will definitely book again!!”
“I highly recommend that people should book Sydny to take care of their pup! She is a fantastic caregiver, very responsive and communicative. I love that she messaged me with any questions versus just guessing what to do. I think that’s so important and I really appreciated that. She was kind to me and certainly to my dog and gave him extra special attention! Thanks for helping me with my last-minute request to care for my Little Buddy! We’ll see you again soon!!”
“She did an excellent job. Gave me updates every day with pictures. He was well brushed when I picked him up. He even seemed to be a little bit more obedient. I will hire her again if the need arises.”
“Lara was phenomenal!! Stormy had so much fun, it was obvious to me she was constantly watched and entertained as I received numerous videos and pics to keep me updated. I was nervous leaving my big girl on the ranch where she’d have endless opportunities to get into trouble (?) but she loved it. Lara let her have pool time, took her on daily walks, and really just made her feel at home. We will be booking with her again!!”
“I am so grateful for Maria and her family for welcoming our little fur baby into her home and treating him like their own family. He was spoiled rotten and he loved every bit of it. I saw how happy he was in every photo she sent. Her kids loved having him sleep with them. They cuddled with him. Took him for walks. I would definitely recommend Maria and will use her for future dog sitting needs. Thank you Maria and family”
“Leslie was really great with my 2 fur babies. They were well taken care of and loved on. She did a great job sending me updates with very cute pictures! If I need a dog sitter I will definitely be booking her again!”
“Christie and Daniel took excellent care of Luna. Luna really enjoyed their family and dog friends. We think she misses them and we will definitely entrust Luna to them again.”
“Fourth time booking with Kaitlin and can confidently say she always provides exceptional care for my high energy dog. I will definitely continue booking with Kaitlin in the future.”
“Kallie is wonderful! Brought attention to something that was bothering Molly during the stay and was thoughtful! Hope to be able to keep booking Kallie in the future!”
“LOVE Patricia, John, and fam! Helped us out with a last minute booking and were very patient with our skittish pup. Was great to know she was safe and being taken care of while we were gone. Can't recommend enough”
“This was our second time with Brynna and her sweet pup Banks. Our little Coco had the best time with them. Brynna shared pictures and videos and she shared fun snippets of what they were up to over the three days together. We LOVE having Coco with them - we know she is so well cared for and probably has more fun at their house than at ours. Can't wait to book with her again! Thank you Brynna!”
“Amazing family! Our puppy loved his stay of 3 days with them. He was well taken care of and was loved. They gave him full attention and made sure he felt at home! I would 100% recommend and will book again!”
“Denise and Rod were awesome with our dog, making her part of the family. We received update pictures and status reports and extra activities with walks and playing time. The house is clean and the backyard is secure. Would recommend to anyone!”
“Lauren was so great with Tuna and very accommodating! My sitter went MIA when I showed up to drop Tuna off, so I needed a last minute Rover and Lauren answered my request right away - The rest is history and I couldn’t haven been happier with my choice for a sitter for Tuna! My cat was well taken care of and her dog, Millie, was sweet with Tuna. Would highly recommend!!”
“We needed someone to watch our older dog while we were away for a week. Being new to the area we really didn't know anyone and we wanted our dog to be in a home environment where she wouldn't be alone. My wife found Cynthia on Rover and we went over to meet her. We were immediately impressed by the secure yard and surroundings. Our dog immediately bonded with her little dog Chewey. To make sure, we arranged two "play days" to make sure that all went well. Everything went better than expected and I, being an overly protective pet parent, felt at ease with leaving our dog for a week. I had nothing to worry about. Cynthia took great care of our dog, sent us regular updates including pictures and videos. She let our dog settle-in at her house where ever our dog felt most at ease and took her out for regular walks and time in the yard. When we came back we found that our dog had such a good time that I'm not sure she wanted to leave! Needless to say that Cynthia will be our first choice to watch our dog whenever the need arises! Your dog will be in good hands.”
“Sheila and David are terrific pet sitters ! They had Elroy over for a meet and greet and showed us the fenced, safe backyard where the dogs can play. Little Elroy stayed overnight and made fast friends with their pups. He came home happy and tired from playing.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Nelson home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Nelson.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Nelson sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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 .
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
