“Lauren is amazing; her home is beautiful. She watched our 6 month old Shih Tzu and took amazing care for him. She sent a photo daily with a report. I trust her with my puppy anytime.”
“Dipsy seemed happy after her stay. Kallie sent a daily update and a picture. They were easy to work with and would book with Kallie and her husband again in the future.”
“We’ve booked Brynna 3 times for our dog, Charlie, & EVERY experience has been exceptional. She’s such a bright, caring presence... always reliable, responsive, and attentive. Charlie gets instantly excited the moment we arrive in her neighborhood, which says everything! What truly sets Brynna apart is how she treats your dog like her own. Her regular photo updates bring so much peace of mind when we’re away, and it’s clear she genuinely loves and takes pride in what she does. We couldn’t recommend her more highly 💛”
“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!”
“I cannot thank Patricia and John enough. They are incredible and caring people. Their compassion to my two dogs, and to me, was something I couldn’t have imagined. God puts people in your life that can have a huge impact on you and they are absolutely God-sent. Thank you for taking care of Kenai and Minkah. They could not have been in better hands. I will, 100%, recommend them to everyone. When you look at Rover you will have many options. I suggest you do what’s best for your puppy and bring them to Patricia and John. They are life savers. You will be grateful you did. Thank you for everything. Truly. You guys are the best. Thank you.”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs of all kinds since I was 9 years old. My specialty is fragile seniors with special needs, meds, diets and gentle care. My three girls are not dogs but sweet babies who give us unconditional love and are treasured. We will welcome yours the same way and keep them safe <3 I work out of my home office so this gives me the ability to supervise your pet. They can join mine in my office, we have plenty of comfy spots. I give frequent breaks, time for treats, cuddles and can take them on short walks to our little park (if desired) I also have a pet stroller. I have a fenced in yard with critter fencing and a gate guard. A large turf area perfect for zoomies! My two friendly little malti-pos and a Chinese Crested will be their play pals. They are low key and gentle.
“Richard and Jeannette are amazing! I was so nervous to leave my little guy with anyone since he had never been left with anyone but family before. He warmed right up with them and they truly treated him like they’re own and took such good care of him! They gave updates his entire stay and sent pictures of him being spoiled :). We will definitely be using them every time we need a doggy sitter!”
“We’re so thankful to Christopher for taking care of Phoenix while we were away on vacation! It’s always hard leaving your pet behind, but knowing Phoenix was being well cared for made our trip much more relaxing. Christopher was great, and we truly appreciate him looking after Phoenix. We’d definitely book with him again and highly recommend him to other pet owners!”
“Katarina did a great job of keeping us informed with photos and videos about how our dog was doing. We felt very comfortable with our pup there, and we plan to definitely re-book in the future!”
“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!”
“Kyle took great care of my dog while I was gone, it was my first time away and he stayed in contact and communicated how she was doing each day and sent pictures and videos. Kyle is very knowledgeable about dogs and I would be happy to book him again.”
“Briana took great care of our two pups for our week long trip. She was always prompt regarding communication and asked good questions prior to drop off to make sure she was familiar with their needs and routines. I would recommend Briana to anyone looking for an attentive pet sitter.”
“This is the first time that we have taken our pup to someone’s home. Rainey has high anxiety and doesn’t like to be left alone. Deb and Dennis were very attentive to her needs and shared photos throughout the stay. She got daily walks and frequent brushes which she enjoys! Rainey seemed to be very comfortable from the first day we met them. We will definitely be using them 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!”
“Sam took great care of our pup for Christmas! She sent regular updates and pictures. He came home a happy puppy! Our dog and her pup played very well together. I would definitely recommend and plan to use Sam again in the future!”
“Jennifer is really great. She took really great care of St Bernard suri for the weekend and I felt alot better knowing that my dog friend was being well taken care of. Jennifer even help me adjust suri diet to help with some stomach problems she was having. Jenifer is really great and I would definitely recommend to anyone who needs a good pet sitter”
“Kat took excellent care of my little Reina. I received updates on her quite frequently. Reina was taken on several walks and appeared to get a long well with Kat’s small pups. Thank you for all the care!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Rillito
Maria was wonderful to work with! She was very communicative throughout the entire stay, and I really appreciated the picture updates she sent along the way. She has a lovely home and a great backyard where the dogs can safely play and enjoy themselves. I had a great experience and would happily recommend Maria to other Rover sitters!
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!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Rillito is $53 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $61 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.

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.
94% of sitters in Rillito 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 Rillito 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 Rillito.
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 Rillito. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 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 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.
