About: Doggy Dude Ranch! Your dog will have a blast on our 2 acre alpaca ranch! We have a 5 year old golden doodle, 2 donkeys, and an alpacas. We have had animals our whole lives and are committed to their care and happiness. We are a casual, easy going home. We are committed to at least 2 long walks a day, unless your dog isn't up for it. We look forward to loving on your dogs while you are gone and will text photos daily if you would like. Someone is almost always home, so we are available just about 24/7. We are available 7 days a week for boarding and enjoy at least two long walks a day, unless a dog is not able to handle that. We have 2 acres for dogs to run, and our very friendly golden doodle for your dog to play with. We have donkeys and an alpaca on the property as well.
“Our two girls, both rescues, who are usually nervous at the vets and grooming, were welcomed into Kelly’s home by Mo the pug and the party never stopped :3) It was if they’d known Kelly and her gang forever. We’ve never left the girls at someone else’s house but when we drove off we did so guilt free and with confidence that they’d be smothered with love and lots of play. The best experience ever!!! Looking forward to many more visits”
“We had such an amazing experience with Laurie! She took such good care of Theo today. She took him for an early morning walk before it got too hot outside. She sent lots of pictures and updated us throughout the day. She made it very easy to communicate and coordinate care for Theo!”
“Nancy is very professional and knowledgeable about dogs. She was able to watch our little guy at the last minute when he was recovering from surgery. Her two dogs are super sweet and welcoming. She gave him the TLC he needed and allowed us to enjoy some time away without worrying about him. We’re very grateful.”
“Kevin was absolutely wonderful to work with. He was so flexible and my dog was excited to come back every morning. She was well taken care of and I was completely at ease. Very much hope to work with him again.”
“Zoey had a wonderful time with Mindy and her wonderful dogs Mindy provided pictures and updates Zoey was happy to return on a second day and was eager to spend the day”
“Kelly and her family are absolutely amazing!! Our dog Scout had so much fun with them and was comfortable with them immediately. Kelly was very organized and detail oriented which we appreciate very much as Scout requires some special attention due to allergies. Kelly kept us informed every step of the way when he was in her care, she sent many updates and photos throughout the day. Scout was very excited to be dropped off with her every morning and sad to leave in the evening. We can't thank Kelly and her family enough for taking such good care of our sweet boy!!”
About: I’ve had animals my entire life and I have a lot of love to give! I believe I’m very intuitive when it comes to animals needs, even if they have certain sensitivities or issues. We work from home so we're always here for your pets needs. If your dog needs walks or even runs I'm open to whatever their needs are. If they are less social I’m comfortable keeping them away from other dogs or people or vice versa. I will treat your dog like my own. My neighborhood is quiet and a great place to walk dogs. And on lazy days we are great at snuggling. Whatever their needs! My boyfriend and I both work from home. We are always here. So what ever your schedule is, we can recreate for your pet for an easy transition. I have a fully fenced yard. I like to take a walk an least once a day depending on the weather/heat. If your dog is crated I can accommodate as well.
About: Hi there! I'm Maria. I’ve loved and taken care of animals of all shapes and sizes my whole life. I take care of cats, dogs, horses, chickens, and everything in between. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I live with my boyfriend Steven off a quiet dirt road in the Rio Verde foothills, with a fenced-in yard. Steven is an animal lover as well and enjoys taking care of our furry guests as much as I do We're active people and love going on long walks and exploring. If your dog is active and loves to run, explore the trails, or play an endless game of fetch, then we'll be sure to have lots of fun! Or, if you've got a senior or couch potato who wants only to venture outdoors for the necessities, you can still entrust us to brighten their day with plenty of cuddles and love as if they were our own dog. A trusted pet-sitter since the age of 10, I have experience with animals of all kinds. In addition to suburban pet-sitting, I have also farm-sat and cared for horses, chickens, barn cats and farm dogs. I have volunteered at several vet clinics, and I have also worked with goats, sheep, guinea pigs, bunnies, etc. I’m a life long equestrian with extensive horse experience, so if you need a horse sitter I am qualified for that job as well. We have 2 cats - Glitch and Desmond, who are comfortable around dogs. We also have a dog of our own - an Australian Cattle Dog named Lana who is used to being around other dogs. Animals are my life, and I cannot wait to meet your best friend! I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. My boyfriend Steven, who also works from home, is an animal lover as well and enjoys taking care of our furry guests as much as I do. For drop-ins: Along with providing walks, food, fresh water, and anything else you may need for me to do, I also include plenty of love and cuddles if that’s what your pet enjoys! When your pet stays with us, it will be a home away from home. We have a fenced in yard where they will be supervised at all times. Our cattle dog Lana is used to sharing her home with other dogs.
About: I recently lost both of my fur babies of 13 years. The house feels empty and would love to share it with some pups that need love and care. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule for regular potty breaks, walks and snuggles. My yard is large and fully fenced in. I have a large yard and live in a great neighborhood for walks. The house is also pretty big for roaming. My children are here half time and love animals.
“This was my first time using Rover. The process was very easy. It was also the first time leaving my anxious dog with strangers. Rossana was wonderful - she was confident, calm and reassuring.. She and Kurt are obviously dog lovers and experienced pet sitters. They kept me informed during the day and sent two photos which put me at ease. Great.experience!”
“Rosie loves days that she gets to go to Jessica’s! She always has a great time and leaves tired. And Jessica is great at communicating and working with our schedule. Would recommend!”
“Su was absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of Finley! It was really hot that day so she was careful to keep him inside in the a/c. She sent us the cutest pictures of Finley getting love and attention all day. We are so happy with Su and will absolutely use her again when we are back in town.”
“Ellyn is truly fantastic. During our visit from Canada she cared for our doodle and was able to accommodate us on short notice. She is super kind and friendly and has a wonderful setup for hosting furry friends. So well deserving of 5 stars! Thank you!!”
About: Hi! I’m Lauren, a Scottsdale-based pet sitter who believes dogs deserve a loving home environment while you’re away and not a stressful kennel. I grew up on a farm with many house pets. I have 35 years of animal care experience and a special place in my heart for dogs! Your pup will get personalized care, lots of attention, playtime in a fenced yard, swimming in a pool, daily walks to my neighborhood walking trails, cuddles, and a cozy place to relax. I treat every pet like family and love sending photo updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Whether your dog loves adventure or just wants a comfy couch and belly rubs, I’m here to make them feel safe, happy, and loved. I am currently a stay at home mom with kids in school. Our biggest strength is round the clock animal care. We treat animals as if they’re our own and with all the attention and care they deserve. I live in a gated community, with a fenced in yard. We begin our days with food and then a walk on our walking trail in my community. Afterwards, we like to swim in my fenced in pool in my backyard. The entire day consists of belly rubs, pets, snuggles, and as much playtime as your pup needs! I also help with crate training, and making sure we instill your house rules for animals here as well! As an animal parent myself, I understand that all animals require different things!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Rio Verde
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 2,034 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Rio Verde. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Rio Verde 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 2,034 sitters in Rio Verde, 88% 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.
