“Mercedes is an angel. I have of the two most spoiled and stubborn Doodles in the world. This was our first trip where they were away from family. I knew that adjusting to someone else would be difficult for them, but Mercedes was so reassuring that all would be well. She was so patient, kind, and loving with my babies. I was so sure that we would have to cut our trip short, but with the updates and open dialogue on how to approach their care, I was left feeling at ease. My babies fell in love with her and they don’t do that easily. She has a wonderful supportive family and I wouldn’t trust them with anyone else.”
“Jesus was AMAZING! He looked after both my dog and cat while I was out of town and I couldn’t be happier about the care they received. He sent daily updates with photos and even washed my pup when he got muddy/dirty from being outside. His communication was always quick and friendly. I will definitely leave my fur babies with Jesus in the future and suggest you do the same!”
“Nemo took to Kathleen right away. She kept him busy with walking and playing with her children. She is a dog lover! He is as in good hands. Sent several pics too. Would definitely ask her to sit again.”
“Shani was the best choice for our fur baby! I was worried about leaving our baby, Stone, for so long, but Shani made me feel comfortable. She sent me pictures and communicated with me continuously throughout the stay. I could see Stone opening up and enjoying himself. I’m so grateful for her loving care and warmth. Shani is definitely like extended family now, and Stone won’t be staying anywhere else. If you care about your fur baby and want them to be well-loved, book with Shani.”
“Mia was amazing! She kept me updated, assisted with keeping my dogs training on track, and is very kind! I will absolutely use her services again and would recommend her to anyone in need of a sitter.”
“Stefanie took great care of our doggie Phil while we took a 10 day trip! She kept us updated with pics and videos and followed our care instructions. Stefanie seemed to handle Phil’s high energy very well and our pup got along well with her other dogs! We would definitely book with Stefanie again!”
About: Animals have always had a special place in my heart since childhood! 🐾 I have hands-on experience raising a puppy from 11 weeks old to one year old, which taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding a dog’s needs at different stages of development. I also regularly help care for my sister-in-law’s animals, including both dogs and cats. Having a veterinarian in the family has given me opportunities to be around animals and learn more about their care. I’m gentle, attentive, responsible, and careful with every animal I look after. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, and I always do my best to make them feel safe, loved, and at ease. Whether your pet is playful and energetic or shy and needs a little extra patience, I’ll treat them with the same love and care I would give my own. ❤️🐶🐱 I work full-time Monday through Friday until 2:30 PM, so I’m available for pet care during weekday afternoons and evenings, as well as weekends. I can plan my schedule around your pet’s needs and am happy to provide attentive, loving care, whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, or keeping your cats company while you’re away. I’m committed to being reliable, flexible, and making sure your pets feel safe and loved! 🐾❤️ I have a home with a half-acre fenced backyard where dogs can enjoy outdoor time, play, and explore safely under my supervision. 🐶🐾 I believe every pet deserves a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. When caring for pets in my home, I would follow their usual routines for feeding, playtime, exercise, and rest, while giving them plenty of attention and affection. In a client’s home, I would respect their space and carefully follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, litter box cleaning, medications if needed, and any special care requirements. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members. I’m gentle, responsible, and attentive, and I always prioritize each pet’s safety, comfort, and individual needs. ❤️
“Jenny was amazing with our fur baby Charlie! She kept us updated throughout her time with our baby. He was very happy and that makes us very happy. Would definitely recommend Jenny and we will be repeat customers with her. Thanks Jenny!”
“From the moment I met Danny, I knew he would be a great caretaker for my pit bull mix, Bertoli. He was warm, friendly, polite, and seemed to genuinely care about dogs, specifically pit bulls and related bully breeds. Bertoli seemed to feel right at home when we arrived at Danny's house, and I think he had a great time during his stay at Danny's. He even took Bertoli out running. I would highly recommend Danny, and will book again next time we need a dog sitter!”
“Monica and Daniel provided excellent service. They kept me up to date with Aurora's activities, providing several pictures throughout the day. Will definitely use their services again. In very pleased.”
“Our dog loves coming over! She gets so excited in the car when she sees Joy. I also love getting photo updates from them, she’s always playing and well taken care of! 10/10 don’t even think twice, book now!”
“Rolanda was amazing! She kept me updated and sent pictures of Chloe throughout her stay! I can tell that Chloe was comfortable with her and she came back just as happy as she was before i dropped her off! I would definitely book with Rolanda again!”
About: I’ve been dog walking for 4 years and truly love caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities.Im also a dog mom to 2 presa carinos & 1 maltipoo. I’m reliable, patient, and focused on making sure every pup feels safe, happy, and comfortable during every walk.

Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as a stay-at-home mom because I have a flexible schedule and spend most of my day active and organized.

Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or check-ins, I’m able to make pet care a consistent and reliable part of my weekly routine.I can also do late drop ins. I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. In my client’s home, I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications if needed, and any special care requests. I also make sure pets get plenty of attention, patience, and exercise based on their personality and energy level. I always prioritize safety, supervision, and communication with pet parents by providing updates and photos so they feel at ease while away.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Phoenix
It was difficult choosing a dog sitter this go round because I unexpectedly lost the last one I trusted with my dog. Latasha exceeded my expectations with the care of my dog. He was happy to see me when I arrived to pick him up and he seemed to thank her when we were leaving. I will definitely rebook with Latasha the next time we need a sitter for him.

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:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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 IL 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.
