“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.”
“Did an excellent job taking care of my Labrador. Excellent communication with pictures morning and evening. Her facility is like a pet resort. Plenty of room and activities for your dog. I was afraid my dog wouldn't want to come home.”
“Luna loves staying with Christie and Daniel. She has so much fun playing with all the dogs and playing fetch! And we love knowing that our Luna is safe and well cared for while we are gone!”
“This was our first experience using Rover for boarding and are VERY satisfied with how Kimberly cared for our dog. For the first time we didn't feel guilty boarding our dog as Kimberly's daily updates with photos showed a relaxed and happy dog who was definitely getting all the attention he craves!”
“Amy was wonderful throughout the entire process! She communicated with me every step of the way and kept me updated with videos and pictures throughout the day, which gave me so much peace of mind. You can truly tell she loves dogs. She has two of her own, and it shows in how naturally she cares for them. She took such great care of Lucky and even made him a fun peanut butter treat! Amy is incredibly kind, and you can genuinely tell she’s a true dog person. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy sitter for their fur baby.”
“Brian was awesome! This was my first time having to leave my pup behind so I was a wreck but Brian definitely eased my worries by sending updates and pictures of my boy hanging out with his 2 sweet dogs. Will definitely keep him in mind for future endeavors. Thanks again Brian!”
“Yaneli was amazing! Not only was she able to accommodate my last minute boarding request with no issues at all, but she let us come over for a meet and greet super last minute as well. From all the glowing reviews, I knew she’d be a good fit for my dog, and I was not disappointed! She took my boy on daily walks, sent daily updates and pictures and was so nice and helpful. You can tell how well she takes care of all the animals that stay with her, and my dog had a great time with her and the other dogs. I can’t recommend her enough!!!! :)”
“Kat took such great care of Luna. We were able to meet ahead of time for my dog to get acquainted with kat’s dog and house. Kat sent photos and kept us looped in the whole time we were away. I felt 100% confident that my dog was well cared for and happy.”
“Briana and her family were very sweet and welcoming. She offered a meet and greet prior to booking which made us and our Kai feel at ease. Through Kai’s stay Briana sent pictures and kept us updated on his stay. He also was given a bath “that’s a great bonus”. We will definitely leave Kai with Briana again and recommend her for your future dog sitting needs. Kai was a happy pup at pick up. ?”
“Denise and Rod were wonderful hosts to our goldendoodle, Lexi. They have two lovely dogs of their own and it was clear that they are real dog lovers. They have a nice house with a big fenced in back yard for the dogs to play. Lexi had a great time and we will most definitely leave her with Denise and Rod again.”
“Lauren and her family were wonderful! They reassured me regularly that Vinny was happy, comfortable and had everything he needed. I could tell when I picked him up from their home that he felt a part of their family. It was so helpful to know he was in good hands. We will definitely be availing ourselves of their warm and welcoming services again. Thank you SO much for making both myself and my dog Vinny feel great about our vacations!”
“I absolutely had no worries leaving my dog with Alex! She has a big clean partly shaded backyard for him to run around in which was a plus for us because we live in a loft with no backyard. Alex kept me updated on my dog and sent the cutest pics of him. She also let him get on the beds so he definitely felt at home. I was very pleased and will be using her services again!”
“Cathleen was a lifesaver as our old dog watcher was no longer in the business. Cathleen was very friendly and responsive to our request to watch our dog while we went out of state on vacation for several days. She kept us in the loop on how he was doing while we were gone and even sent us a few pictures. She took good care of our Bear and we will definitely call upon her services again in the future!”
“Jennifer is an absolute pleasure to work with. She has the kindest heart and really went the extra mile to care for my fur babies! They didn’t want to leave her. Best dog sitter I have ever had by far. ❤️”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Rillito
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
Levi did a great job watching our dog Andy. He walked him, let him sit in the sun, and even lay on his clean clothes. We enjoyed all of the pictures throughout our two week trip, and always felt that Andy was well cared for. I would recommend Levi to watch your dog as well.
Lauren was so sweet and caring with my Desi! My dog had the best time in her care 💜. Lauren kept in touch with me all weekend and took excellent care of my fur baby! I highly recommend, if you can book her she’s amazing and Millie (her dog) was the sweetest, happy to see my dog made a new friend ☺️
Elizabeth always keeps me updated with photos and isn’t ever afraid to ask questions about my dogs’ behavior to see if there’s something she can do to help make their stay an even better one. It’s really an important thing to do since each dog is different from another. She’s always appreciated and I am thankful to have that kind of peace of mind when I am unable to be around. Thank you!
We are so appreciative to Emily for being such a wonderful host to our pups! She was a joy to communicate with and did an amazing job keeping us updated while we were away! Our dogs were definitely thriving under her care! We will definitely be using her again in the future! Thank you, Emily!

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 Rillito 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 Rillito.
<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 Rillito 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.
