“I have come back time and time again, I would recommend Ash to anyone. My dogs get so excited on their way to her house and I think that speaks volumes to how they are treated while they are there!”
“Zinnia is amazing!! I had no one to watch my puppy so I found Zinnia on Rover and immediately she was responsive and we set up a meet and greet for the following week. It went great and I setup a 3 day boarding and I couldn’t be happier!! It’s clear that Zinnia really cares about every dog she spends time with and she communicates very well throughout the reservation. Zinnia will send pictures and videos throughout the day, without me needing to ask which is so nice, and all day I can see my little guy Meade is having the best time!! If I needed to let her know I’d be running late, or early, she was quick to communicate back and allowed me the flexibility I needed which she absolutely didn’t have to do. I truly feel at ease when my dog is with her and for being a very timid dog, Meade has the best time with her!! I’ll be using Z for all of my future puppy needs and would definitely recommend her to all of my friends and family.”
“Niki was great with Hakase! Hakase took a liking to Niki right away and I felt so comfortable having Niki look after him. She is very professional and caring! Thank you for looking after him, he had such a great time!”
“Monica was fantastic! She was so well organized and created a happy mood right off the bat. Our puppy came home shampooed and brushed smelling better than she ever has. Great pictures were sent consistently showing the loving care she offered and the happy atmosphere of her home. It was evident that our dogs got along well. Monica's location was ideal. The whole experience was just perfect.”
“Thank you guys so much for taking care of our new pup!! Kay and Kate were amazing to work with! From the meet & greet to picking him up when we arrived home, they kept us in the loop. It was so nice to get pictures and short notes of how he was doing :) Puppies can be extra hard to deal with, but they did a great job sticking to our routine and he came home even better than when we left. They have the best backyard for a dog and a great pup who loves to play, so Harvey was in heaven. Thank you again for opening your home to Harvey and making him part of your family. We would definitely use Kate and Kay in the future:)”
“Kenzie is an exceptional pet sitter! She is highly organized, meticulous about safety, and follows all instructions as outlined. Once I communicated all of my pets' needs, she was incredibly thoughtful and proactive (even made a ramp for my dog who's recovering from a hip injury so that she could go outside). It is clear she has a lot of experience—especially with housing senior dogs—and she truly understands the nuances and stress pets can feel when left in a new environment/are apart from their owners. She anticipated every need to keep my dog calm, and she was visibly comfortable under her care. She also did house visits for my other dog, handled the logistics, communicated questions/concerns/observations promptly, and was incredibly timely with photo updates. It was clear to me that Kenzie knows how to navigate animals and genuinely loves them. I really felt at ease entrusting my pet and home to her. I highly recommend her!”
“Brandy has hosted Maggie a couple times and we’ve had a great experience! I appreciate her communication throughout the stay. Maggie is always excited to see her and comes back a happy pup. Thanks!”
“My spoiled Shih Tzu had a great time during his four night stay. He played with kids and received so much attention. I received many photos of his fun times.”
“Van and Hector took amazing, wonderful care of my boys, Gianni and Bear. I received daily updates on their well-being, and was promptly told of any concerns. They followed my instructions on feeding and sleeping schedules and just made my going away so much simpler and focused. I highly recommend using them as your next sitters! And I know I will be.”
“Chelsea was fantastic! She sent a million pictures and videos (just the right amount for me!). My pup looked happy in each one. Chelsea was flexible and communicated very well throughout the weekend. Thank you!!”
“Elizabeth is amazing! She took such great care of my dog Sylvester and made him feel right at home. She sent lots of photos and updates & I can tell he was very happy to be there. Can’t recommend her enough!!”

About: I’m a loving, attentive dog dad with 17 years of experience caring for dogs (same dog, she is almost 19 years old!) and currently share my home with two pups. I know how much pets mean to their families, and I’ll care for yours with the same patience, affection, and attention I give my own. I love taking dogs on walks and making sure they feel comfortable, happy, and loved. My partially remote work schedule gives me flexibility to spend more time with them and provide companionship throughout the day. I work in the office three days a week, just a five-minute walk from home, which allows me to stop by during the day for walks and potty breaks as needed. The rest of the week, I work remotely, giving me more flexibility to be attentive to your pet’s needs and provide companionship. I’m also a homebody and spend most weekends relaxing with my two pups, so your pet will have plenty of company, care, and affection while staying with us. I care for every pet with patience, affection, and attention to their routine. I love taking dogs on walks and carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any specific care needs. I also understand the importance of consistent boundaries, including keeping pets off furniture when requested, and use calm, gentle guidance to reinforce household rules. Whether your pet stays in my home or I care for them in yours, I’ll keep their space clean, comfortable, and safe so they feel at ease while you’re away.
“They are patient. They genuinely loved my doggo, Constant photos and updates were given without we asking it was a great relief for our trip to have someone like them watch our dog. Definitely going back.”
“Kris provided a very loving family environment - my two dogs immediately felt at home when they walked in the door so we knew they would enjoy their time at her house. We appreciate the updates, pictures, and love that Kris gave to them.”

Zinnia is truly a special human and has a way with animals that comes so natural to her. Shes the most experienced person on this app in my opinion and you’d be so lucky to leave your pet in her care. Bruiser looooooved being at her home (which is beautiful btw) and even got some special 1:1 time for a trip to the store with her!! Her love and care for him made my trip so much more relaxing knowing he was in the best of hands. He is a special and needy boy and she made him feel so loved and at home!! I will definitely be hiring Zinnia again in the future. Thank you!!
Christina was wonderful! She had great communication throughout the weekend and sent us daily pictures of our pup. We always knew he was in good hands with her and her family. We’re so grateful they welcomed him into their pack for the weekend and made him feel right at home! We couldn’t recommend Christina enough to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and trustworthy sitter. We’ll definitely be booking with her for all of our future trips!
We’re so thankful for the wonderful care Jasper received during his 10-day stay! ❤️🐾Jasper had a little trouble adjusting at first, especially at night, but they were incredibly patient, understanding, and caring. They made sure he felt comfortable, loved, and safe throughout his stay.I really appreciated the regular updates, pictures, and videos. It gave me peace of mind knowing Jasper was in good hands. He also had a great time making new furry friends! Sarra, Thank you so much for treating Jasper like part of your family. We truly appreciate all the love, attention, and patience you gave him. We would definitely recommend you to other pet parents! ❤️🐶
Amber was amazing my older dog summer stayed with her and her amazing doggo for 4 or 5 days and she was sending me pictures and videos and updates on how my chihuahua terrier summer was doing. Leaving five stars would leave more if I could and definitely would book again and I think you should do the same!
Jamie was amazing! She has the cutest set up for pups that she watches in her home. She was so sweet, kind, and my pup warmed up to her immediately. She sent me a few of her favorite photos she took of my babygirl and was so communicative during the whole thing. Definitely will be coming to her in the future!
I can’t say enough good things about Jordan as a dog sitter! She has taken care of Jacoby on two separate occasions now, and both times have been fantastic. Jordan checked in with me frequently, sending adorable pictures of Jacoby having the time of his life. You can tell she loves him like one of her own. Every time I pick him up, he’s full of energy and happiness, which speaks volumes. I am so sad we’re moving out of state, as I would have loved to keep Jordan on as Jacoby’s permanent sitter. If you’re looking for someone who is caring, trustworthy, and truly devoted to your pet, Jordan is absolutely the best. I can’t recommend her enough!
Flexible, accommodating, and so professional. We were in a bind and she made herself so available to us last minute when we needed to go out of town same day. We have w senior dog who can be reactive with other dogs. She kept him so safe and happy. I can tell he had a great time with her.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Phoenix is $44 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $67 per night. 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 November 2026, there are 3,405 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Phoenix. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
95% of sitters in Phoenix can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 Phoenix home-away-from-home, we recommend 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 Phoenix.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Phoenix. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Phoenix 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 Rover Guarantee, 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
