“Christina was amazing with Radar. He’s recently adopted and hasn’t had a chance to be around more people and dogs beyond my family and friends. Christina made him feel so at home and he had such a blast. She made sure we always got updates on him so we knew he was as in great hands”

“Kevin was great with Arjie! I dropped him off in an emergency over the weekend, and I was glad to have picked him! He gave frequent updates, sent photos, and I could tell that Arjie had a great time. I could also tell that Kevin really loves dogs, as Arjie is very hyperactive, and Kevin seemed to enjoy working with him and gave Arjie a warm, comfortable environment for the weekend. Really impressed and will definitely book him again!!”

“Menaj has been such a blessing for Teddy & for me. She is incredibly kind, genuine and has such a warm heart… you can feel immediately how much she truly cares for the dogs she watches. She is always so friendly, easy to communicate with & makes the entire process seamless. One of the things I appreciate most is the complete peace of mind I feel whenever Teddy stays with her. She sends the sweetest videos + updates of him playing, which always reassures me that he’s happy, safe and having a great time. Her communication is excellent, her availability has been amazing for my last-minute trips, and I always know Teddy is in the best hands with her. I’m so grateful to have found someone I trust so fully with my baby. Five stars, without question ⭐️ highly recommend!”

“We had a trip planned and unexpectedly found ourselves caring for my dad’s senior lab. Our golden is young and we have used a corporate boarding service for him in the past but had concerns a traditional kennel would be too rough on her. This inspired us to try using Rover and quickly found Katie and Tanner. Katie and Tanner checked all the boxes we were looking for and during the stay we received pictures and updates. An added bonus was our golden had Zeke to play with. Picking them up they were happy and in great health and we couldn’t ask for a better experience.”

“I'm so grateful that Carolyn was available for a last-minute pet sitting request that allowed us to travel to visit a family member in the hospital. She was very flexible with extending our stay extra days as well. She does have a lot of dogs with her, and my Sammi got along well with them after a meet and great. We will definitely be back to see "Coco and the shih tzu's." Thank you!!”

“100% recommend Melissa. She welcomed my 14 year old senior dog into her home, with freedom to roam and be with a family. My dog was given daily walks and at least once a day she sent pictures. Excellent communication, timely and responsive. Would return a pet to her care again if she would have me/us.”

“We had Mike watch Izzy for 8 days and everything was great. After making the reservation, we took our dog to meet Mike and to see where our dog would be staying. Their home is set up very well for the pets safety and their comfort. They were very easy to communicate with and were always very responsive by text. They provided contact daily with a brief update and a photo which was very comforting to us. We have already booked another stay for two weeks and know that Izzy will be very well cared for. We highly recommend Mike and his wife to care for your pet.”

“Kaitlin was the BEST! Don’t hesitate to book with her! She was perfect for our pup and her dog Koko was the perfect playmate for her. Her updates and obvious love for dogs is so obvious. We will be sure to rebook with her in the future. I have never had my dog come home with all her food gone - she usually doesn’t eat well when we are away… BUT she came home with everything gone which shows how comfortable she was there. Kaitlin is amazing in every way! :)”

“Rebecca and her lovely family took such wonderful care of Jasper and Winnie! My pups enjoyed all the extra play time and attention the children showered on them. They loved running and playing in their huge backyard too. I do believe Winnie and Jasper were actually smiling when I picked them up :) We would love to come back for another stay, thank you!!”

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 Rio Verde 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 Rio Verde.

<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 Rio Verde 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.
