“Jeanne is a wonderful dog sitter! This was our first time using Rover and Jeanne made the entire process so easy. She was extremely accommodating to our specific needs for Nairobi’s daycare. Nairobi and her dog Kona got along so well and Jeanne sent us pictures and updates every day. We know we have found our go to dog sitter and we look forward to having our pup stay with her again.”
“Great communication, very friendly, and did a fantastic job looking after Gunner. Would absolutely recommend them to anyone needing a dog sitter, and would use again if the need arises.”
“Dez loves her furrfriends and piggies too! Laura is fantastic and Dez loves her sooo much too!!!! Thank you Laura for peace of mind that Dez is happy and having a blast -while I am off working my long appt days.”
About: We have taken care of dogs our whole lives, they are family. All my family members have dogs large and small and bring them over all the time. We have 3 dogs, 2 female & 1 male, all neutered, friendly, loving, and love other dogs. 2 small & 1 medium. We have a large fully enclosed block wall back yard and our pups are mostly in the house with us. I work from home so I am with the pups all the time, they mostly stay in the house and hang out with me in my office, but I let them outside many times throughout the day to play and run around. My dogs love to play and sleep and would love to have another play mate. Our yard is very secure, the dogs sleep in our room with us at night. Very safe and happy environment.
“Thank you Holly for watching my dog. My dog stay with us all the time. Don't have chance to let her stay alone. Holly keep us update also share some great pictures. If you are looking for someone take care your dog. Stronger recommend Holly.”
“LOU WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! He took care of my baby boy Rudy this Saturday (half day) and Rudy literally had the the best time. By the time we picked up Rudy he’d been on two walks with Lou and he was exhausted; which is great it got all of his energy out! I was terrified to leave Rudy with someone while we did some sight seeing in big bear but Lou was literally the best sitter ever. He assured me of Rudy’s safety and protection and it was so much appreciated!! He checked in with me about every half hour to hour and sent me photos on what activity they were doing together!! I know for a fact I’ll be using Lou for his services in the future! Rudy absolutely had a blast with Lou and I just can’t thank him enough for taking care of our furry baby! ❤️ I definitely recommend Lou to anyone looking for a petter sitter he was such a pleasant human being and I can’t thank him enough for treating Rudy so great! Xoxo”
About: My first dog I got when I was in the 4th grade. She changed my life. Now I’ve never been able to connect with a dog on that level since her but I still love them. & hope some day I will be able to give my kids that. I am a single mom with 3 kids under the age of 6. Adding a fur baby to the mix just isn’t in the cards for me right now. & after this year I’m looking to get back on my feet. So I thought this could be a good way to make some extra money to help us. We are a very active bunch. Love hiking, walking, and pretty much anything outdoors. Like I said before we are always outside. I like to take walks in the morningsevenings. Love hiking. I work from home so I can make my own schedule. Depends on the dog. Just like my kids each one is different. What works for one might not work for the other. I would like to mimic as much as the dogs normal as possible.
“Julija and her family take such good care of Moon while I’m at work. I feel like I can breathe knowing that she is in good hands whenever I drop her off. She always falls fast asleep as soon as I pick her up too, which tells me she has a blast while there! I highly recommend her as your dog sitter!”
About: Hi! My name is Ronnie, and jointly with my spouse who has also been in the field, we have boarded & hosted daycare in our home. We just moved and would like to start building our clientele even further. We are both very experienced in pet sitting. For the past six years, I have dedicated my life to the care and well-being of dogs and cats at every stage of life from fragile newborns to cherished seniors. My experience spans both general veterinary practice and high-volume shelter environments, giving me a deep understanding of medical, behavioral, and emotional needs. In a general practice setting, I have provided hands-on support to veterinarians, ensuring that patients receive thorough exams, treatments, and follow-up care. In the shelter field, I have assisted in managing the care of animals arriving from diverse and often challenging backgrounds, including those who have been neglected, abandoned, or are fearful of human interaction. My surgical experience includes working alongside doctors to assist with 25+ surgeries a day, maintaining a fast-paced, highly organized workflow while ensuring each animal’s safety, comfort, and recovery needs are met. I am skilled in pre- and post-operative care, monitoring anesthesia, and providing gentle handling during moments of stress or vulnerability. Whether bottle-feeding orphaned kittens, offering enrichment for long-term residents, or patiently building trust with animals showing signs of fear, reactivity, or aggression, I always approach my work with empathy and respect for the individual needs of each animal. I pride myself on being both loving and attentive, noticing subtle changes in behavior or appetite that may indicate a need for intervention. I have worked extensively with dogs that display escape behaviors or aggression, applying patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement to help them feel secure. Every animal in my care is treated as if they were my own, and I believe that compassion, trust, and understanding are the foundation for helping them thrive, whether they’re still learning the ropes or enjoying their golden years. I maintain a flexible schedule and am committed to being available whenever I am needed to provide the highest standard of care. Meet & greets may vary depending on availability on whether or not I am currently hosting. When caring for pets in my home, I create a safe, comfortable, and enriching environment tailored to each animal’s needs. This includes maintaining a consistent feeding schedule, providing plenty of fresh water, regular potty breaks, daily exercise, playtime, and mental stimulation. I ensure they have cozy, clean spaces for rest and always supervise interactions to keep them safe and happy. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their specific instructions closely to maintain the animal’s normal routine, reducing stress and keeping them comfortable in their familiar surroundings. This may include feeding, walking, litter box cleaning, administering medication, grooming, and offering companionship. I also provide updates, photos, and videos so clients have peace of mind while they’re away. Additionally, I only house one family at a time as a prevention to any potential fights that can breakout. Multiple pets from the same household are welcome, and I do house cats as well. Please keep in mind with cats, they do take some time to warm up to new surroundings and can potentially be stressed during the first couple of days.

Our backyard is rattlesnake proofed, and you pet will never be outside alone. I will accommodate any rules you have set up for your pet as to not disrupt any training you have in place.
“Jamie did such a great job watching my pup Drako. I know he had a great time playing with her dogs because he fell asleep as soon as we got home. She sent pictures and updates. I highly recommend her!”
“So grateful that we found Diana and Adam. Frankie is a pretty shy, but he wants to break out from his shell and make new friends. Diana has been incredibly helpful with this! Her pups are so well behaved, she makes sure to match the dogs who all get along and play well together. I feel so comfortable leaving Frankie in their care. Frankie leaves just having a happy energy and super tuckered from learning and playing all day. He has already made huge steps in socializing thanks Diana and Adam! 🙂”
About: I have been a dog owner of years & years. I absolutely love dogs and my puppies love to make new friends. Let’s be friends! Being a stay at home mom gives me the opportunity to go on multiple walks a day, dog park when we want & to be involved & interactive at all times. My pets are loved on all day long, cuddles, playing catch, going on walks, puppy play dates. The kennel is often a safe place for some pups, which we do have in this case.
About: I grew up with the privilege of a four legged best friend greating me everyday when I got home and keeping me company on my long running rounds. I have trained our dogs and competed in tracing and obedience. A dog is a precious family member who need lots of love, cuddling and long walks. With a dog it’s easy to walk the extra mile, find new friends and spend time enjoying the outdoor. At the moment we don’t have our own dog, but our family would love your dog as if it was our own best friend. With two teenagers in the house, there will always be someone ready to cuddle and spend time together with in the backyard or in the pool. I’m looking forward to get to know you and your four legged friends.
“Clare was wonderful! She provided everything we needed for our dogs. She was accommodating when our transportation plan to pick up at the end of the days was seriously compromised. She communicated throughout the day about how the dogs were doing and also responded immediately when informed that we would be delayed by quite a bit. She was gracious and kind as well. I have already recommended her to friends and will use her again when we return to this area.”
“Jennifer was great! She was friendly, communicative and ready for us bright and early. I got pictures of Whiskey throughout the day which was comforting knowing he was doing well in her home. Thank you Jennifer for welcoming Whiskey into your home.”
“Randy and Kay took excellent care of our french bulldog puppy. This was his first time away from us, but I felt totally at ease once I dropped him off. Randy and Kay were thoughtful enough to send updates. We would be happy to use them again!”

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - New River
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 1,391 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across New River. 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 New River 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 1,391 sitters in New River, 87% 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.
