About: I have had pets all my life. I currently have one dog, but have almost always had cats and I also had bunnies growing up. I trained my own dog when she was a puppy. I work from home so I have a ton of availability and will spend most of your pet’s stay at home with them. I am open to sitting any type of pet and can’t wait for myself and my dog Millie to meet your furbaby! I work from home so I often have an open schedule and love to be home, but also love to be outside with my dog. I take her everywhere I can and would be happy to have your pet join us! I have a backyard and a few grassy/park areas nearby that I take my dog to every day. I take her out multiple times a day for potty and walks.
About: We loved our furry friends our entire life. Here on the ranch, we have many animals: mini horse, tortoises, chickens, cats, and dogs. So many sights and sounds...there is always something fun going on! And there is always someone here on the ranch to care for the animals. On the ranch your dog will experience: a fully fenced yard, almost 2 acres to exercise, exposure to various ranch animals to help your dog grow socially and emotionally, and a pool to cool off in.
“Reagan is happy, tired, and beaming after her day with her favorite people and pups. And I am her happy person knowing she had another day of fun and exceptional care. Reagan is always happy and confident after her time with Christie, Daniel, and their family, and we can’t wait until our next play day in a few weeks.”
“Kallie and housemates were fantastic taking care of PJ our 13yr young Dachshund, letting him out for potty/critter breaks. Kallie said PJ was very calm, well mannered, and would love to come again.”

My husband and I work from home so your pup will not be alone. They will be able to play and be loved and adored all day long. Although I'm new to Rover I'm not new to caring for dogs. I have a fenced yard and a fenced dog run area. They have activities to keep them happy all day and other dogs to play with. Your furbaby will have a great day while they are with us and you are out doing what you need to do. Pictures or texts will be sent. I have 1 mellow cat that gets along with all dogs, but she can be put away if your loved furbaby prefers. I am home all day with your fur baby. So I am available to care and be with our baby all day. They will get great care! Your baby will get to play all day, have breaks, eat on your schedule. Please provide their food and any snacks you wish them to have.
“Leslie was great with our 7 month old lab. She provided post-surgery care and made sure Sadie didn’t harm her stitches. She took her out for plenty of walks, shared lots of pictures, and was very thorough. Sadie was exhausted every night from playing and walking. I would highly recommend Leslie and will certainly use her services again in the future.”
“First of all, Tara’s place is very suitable for dogs. It is secure with plenty room to run around. We left our 6 month old high energy golden-doodle with Tara for the day. It was the first time being away from us we were worried he would have some anxiety. Tara was great giving us updates throughout the day with pictures. Without hesitation we plan on bringing him back for our next vacation. Thank you Tara!”
“Tasha and Geordie had a great time at Elizabeth's. This was our first time ever getting a sitter for our dogs so we were a little bit nervous. Elizabeth's warm and easy going attitude immediately put us at ease. It was also great to get a tour of her home so we could see where the dogs would be hanging out. She also sent us photos of them playing. Would definitely book with her again!”
“Our little Coco had a GREAT day with Brynna. We had a last minute need for daycare and she was so nice to do a quick meet and greet the day before. Brynna is amazing with communication and response time. You can immediately tell that she LOVES all pups. Ours is just 11 months old and very busy and active and Brynna dove in and enjoyed it all. Her home is perfect inside and out for the pups and she really took the time to make it special for our Coco. We will definitely use her again. Thank you Brynna”
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.

About: My mom and step dad are retired veterinarians so I've helped take care of animals my whole life. I've had my own little Shih Tzu mix for 15 years. I'm not currently working outside the home so other than spending some time with my grandchildren, I'm devoting all my time to the care of animals. I have a large fenced yard. My 2 friendly 2 year old Shih Tzus, and 10yr old cat will keep your furry friend company while they visit.
About: I have always been a pet owner, volunteered at no-kill shelters for many years, and have worked with many sick AND healthy dogs over my years as a veterinary assistant! I am a hard-worker in and out of school and will ensure that you feel that your pets are in the best hands! I am no stranger to animal care and I will use my three years of experience to ensure that you receive the best care possible! I am currently a Veterinary Science major studying at the U of A! I try to be as up front about my class schedules as I can as being a student is a huge part of who I am! I want to have the most experience possible with a variety of companion animals as I work towards my goal of becoming a veterinarian. Before coming to the UA, I had a full time job at an amazing clinic where I learned so much more in depth animal care! I am all about pet safety and I am a very hypervigilant pet sitter/walker as I only want what is best for my clients! I am able to watch pups outside if predators are a concern or obstacles like a swimming pool. Happy clients and pets are of utmost importance and I provide daily pictures/videos of pets to ensure that owners feel at ease! I also require meet and greets before bookings because I love to get to know you and your pet a little more and ensure that we are a good fit!
About: With 16 years of hands-on experience in pet care and training, I’ve honed a deep understanding of animal behavior, needs, and communication. Over the years, I’ve worked with a wide variety of pets—from playful puppies and curious kittens to senior pets requiring extra attention. My approach combines patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement, ensuring that pets feel safe, loved, and well-behaved. Whether it’s daily care, specialized training, or addressing behavioral challenges, I bring both skill and heart to every pet I care for. I'm currently working part time so I have loads of extra time to care for, train, and love on all of your furry family members. I have an enclosed backyard with one well-trained medium sized dog. He gets along well with most dogs, but can easily be separated if needed.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Rillito
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Rillito on Rover is $29.97 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .

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 Rillito 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 371 sitters in Rillito, 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.
