“Leslie was great with our 7 month old lab. She provided post-surgery care and made sure Sadie didn’t harm her stitches. She took her out for plenty of walks, shared lots of pictures, and was very thorough. Sadie was exhausted every night from playing and walking. I would highly recommend Leslie and will certainly use her services again in the future.”

About: I’ve been a dog sitter and walker for over a decade and have been training for the past 6 years! I’ve owned dogs all my life and started dog walking from an early age just to be around dogs. I have prioritized my education to ensure you have absolutely no worries if your canine friends are in my care. I am reliable, educated and competent when it comes to your dogs. I’m experience in first aid and nutrition. I prioritize structured fun! I work a swing shift that allows me ample time for morning training and exercise, which is absolutely necessary for this AZ heat! I also am happy to work weekends and holidays. In your home I follow your direction right down to the letter. I absolutely don’t want to stray from tradition as dogs thrive with a solid routine. The only thing that will change for them is the face. I currently work part time and have ample time to provide to your dogs! I prioritize fun and education with my own dogs, and would love to provide that for yours. I love early mornings and late evenings to escape the heat, and I work weekends and holidays. I provide excellent care following the dogs normal routine. I will of course add some extra pets or playtime (it’s a staycation for them), but I ensure all instructions are followed to give them the best time.
About: Hello! My name is Katie, and I am a reliable, caring, and responsible pet sitter who understands that pets are family. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, and other household pets, and I am committed to providing them with the love, attention, and routine they need while you’re away. I offer services including feeding, walking, playtime, administering medications (if needed), litter box cleaning, and overnight care. I take pride in keeping pets safe, comfortable, and happy in their familiar environment. As a pet owner myself, I understand the importance of trust and communication. I provide regular updates, photos, and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are well cared for. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, play sessions, cuddles, or simply a consistent routine, I will tailor my care to meet their individual needs. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I enjoy spending time with animals and can provide consistent, dependable care. I plan my schedule to ensure pets receive timely feedings, walks, exercise, playtime, and companionship. Whether it’s morning visits, afternoon check-ins, evening care, or overnight stays, I am committed to maintaining each pet’s regular routine and giving them the attention they deserve. I believe consistency is important for pets, and I make their comfort, safety, and well-being a priority while they are in my care. 🐾 In My Client’s Home: I care for pets in their familiar environment to help maintain their normal routine and reduce stress. I follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding schedules, exercise, medication administration, potty breaks, and any special care needs. I provide companionship, playtime, walks, and plenty of attention while ensuring the home remains secure and tidy. I also send regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are safe and happy. In My Home: I provide a safe, clean, and pet-friendly environment where pets receive individualized attention, exercise, and affection. I maintain their regular feeding and medication schedules, provide supervised playtime, and ensure they have a comfortable place to rest. I monitor pets closely and make every effort to help them feel at home while their owners are away.
About: I ran a dog boarding and daycare business out of my own home in Ohio for 2 years prior to moving to Arizona. My family ALWAYS uses me for their pet needs, whether that’s in their home or in mine! Dogs are family, and I make sure to treat them that way! I work from home so I can give your pet all the love and care it deserves! My life already revolves around my dog, so why not take care of other people's pets? I have a fenced in yard (with a pool). I can crate your dog if needed, but welcome to roam free as long as they don’t chew and are house trained.
“Daisy just had her first daycare stay and we couldn't feel more happy and relieved with how well Daisy adjusted to Alyssandra. She's a very anxious dog by nature but she was so calm and happy when we picked her up. We will definitely be coming back again. Thank you for taking such good care of her!”

“Alondra was really awesome with our dog Mackie. She gave Mackie lots of exercise and playtime, played with family and met new friend puppies too. We left Mackie with Elondra on two separate consecutive days, he was always happy and wore out when we picked him up. There's a large secure yard in a very nice neighborhood, we didn't have to worry one bit about leaving our baby with Alondra. We'd give 10 stars if we could.”

“Seth was wonderful to work with! He was very responsive and flexible, and we really appreciated the updates and pictures. We felt very comfortable knowing our dog was in good hands. We would definitely book with Seth and his family again!”

About: When I moved into my house in 2018, one of my first priorities was to get a dog. Recently, Addie, who spent the past 7 years with me, had to be put down unexpectedly. I miss her a ton, and I would love to open my home to another dog (the yard just calls out for it), but I am unable to adopt at the moment for logistical/financial reasons. I would love for your pets and I to keep each other company while I work from home during the day! I am a diligent and reliable person who works remotely as a paralegal, so I always need excuses (whether walks, play, food, snuggles, or just potty breaks) to get up from my desk and move at intervals throughout the work day. I love animals of all kinds - in addition to my own dog, I can submit my friends' pets as references (Mildred the cat likes me better than her owner's wife, and Maggie the dog is obsessed with me while spurning every other friend her owners have). I'm also a birdwatcher and a huge fan of all the wildlife in my yard, from bunnies to lizards. My dog training and medical/senior pet care skills are limited, but I am open to learning and strongly attentive to detail - I will be sure to give your pet what they need. I work from home during the week, with approximate hours of 7 am - 4 pm M-F. On Tuesdays I have appointments in the afternoons, so I will not be available for day care that day. Weekend availability will depend on my plans. I don't have any pets at home currently. I have a screened-in patio with a dog door leading to the fenced-in backyard. When the weather is nice (not too hot), I like to work in the patio. The yard backs onto a wash, so there is a lot of wildlife in the area. Javelinas and coyotes frequent the area but cannot get into the yard. I have seen two rattlesnakes in the yard in 7 years of living here. I would not leave small/medium dogs or cats outside unsupervised. If you give permission, I would feel comfortable leaving large dogs who are snake trained outside while I'm in the house (as I often did with my 80 lb golden doodle).
About: I've loved dogs my whole life! When I was born my mom had a chocolate lab and a doberman. Then my dad got a rescue pitbull and a husky mix. Right now my family has a mini golden doodle who's been with us for 14 years and a mini Aussie doodle. I also have a pitbull mix named nova! She's two years old. I’ve never met an animal that didn’t like me! I just graduated esthetician school and I’m currently starting my business. Everything I make on rover goes towards my career! Im currently starting my entrepreneurial journey. Right now I’m a full time pet care giver. I also work a weekend night job. I do not have a set schedule so I have open availability. I prefer to care for pets in my home but I’m always happy to accommodate whatever the client needs. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of room for play and accessible paths for walks. During sittings I make sure to not only take great care of the pet but the clients home as well.

“Marcel is such a sweet person who loves dogs. It was my first time using Rover or any kind of dog sitting for my Aussie, and Marcel made me feel very reassured that my pup was in safe hands and would be very well taken care of. Marcel communicates very well and sent pictures. By the time I went to pick up my pup, she was very attached and loved Marcel, which made me so happy to see. Will definitely rebook with Marcel, and if you want someone who will truly care about your pup definitely book with Marcel.”

“My 7 month old puppy Sarah had a great time with Sylvie and her pack! She sent me videos of her stay which made me so happy to see her having fun and socializing with others dogs! So glad I found a great care taker. We will be using Sylvie in the future for sure. Thankyou😊”

“Thank you for your great care of Ojito . Sending the pictures was really nice and I was happy to hear the updates . In talking with you we can tell you really care about your dogs and other peoples. I’ll definitely use you again if we come thru Tucson.”

“Pamela was absolutely amazing with our 14 year old Benji. She made his stay very comfortable, and she sent us pictures to let us know he was happy and safe!”

About: If you know me, you know I love animals! My first job was working at PetsMart PetsHotel! From the tiniest frog to the biggest Great Dane, I love them all. I have 3 dogs of my own, 1 snake and 1 desert tortoise. In our home, we love all creatures big and small. I currently work from home with flexible hours to accommodate varying schedules. I have 2 kiddos of my own in school and a postal worker husband Safety and care are the biggest priorities in my opinion! I understand the importance of taking care of a pet as a member of the family!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 343 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Nelson. 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 Nelson 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 343 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 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 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 Meet & Greet.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 343 sitters in Nelson, 83% 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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
