“As a first time cat owner, we (my husband and I) were very unsettled about leaving her with a complete stranger. We needn't have worried. Kimberly was truly the "cat whisperer" for both my cat and us. Kimberly sent pictures communicated with us every day. We really can't thank her enough. She even trimmed Lollipop's nails!”
“Stephanie is THE BEST. Ford is excited to staycation with her and always comes home happy and exhausted from the attention and love he gets from her. The hardest part about leaving home is Ford but knowing he is well taken care of makes having to travel at times leave. Thank you so very much for another sleep over (this was a week) and taking such great care of my boy.”
“Frank and Saleha were excellent sitters for my dog during my short trip out of town. They sent plenty of pictures and videos. My dog loved being over there and played well with their dog as well. I will continue to use, and recommend their services to others.”
“I was nervous about leaving my fur baby during 4th of July as he sometimes gets scared with loud noises. Jenny was very reassuring , lets lots of updates, and was responsive. She took great care of my dog, and he had lots of fun!”
“We had a wonderful experience having our dog stay with Cheyenne and her family! Great communication and updates and pictures. Definitely found my new sitter since moving to Surprise!”
“Angelica was absolutely amazing! This was our first time ever using Rover, and I was honestly nervous about leaving Koda with someone new. She took the time to allow us to come to her house first so Koda could meet her and get comfortable. She was so kind, patient, and never rushed him, letting him explore and warm up at his own pace. Throughout the entire 4-day stay, she kept us updated with plenty of pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was obvious Koda was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. When we picked him up, he was happy and relaxed, and it was clear he had been treated like part of the family. If you’re a doodle owner, you know how anxious they can be. Koda had zero accidents the entire time, which says so much about how comfortable and cared for he felt. That alone meant the world to us. I truly can’t recommend Angelica enough. As long as she’s available, I won’t be using anyone else to watch Koda. Thank you, Angelica (and sweet Milly!) for taking such wonderful care of our boy!”
“Kimberly did an amazing job! She was super flexible with her time and kept us in the loop the whole time. She treated our pup like he was her own and even gave him a special treat after asking for permission of course. ☺️”
“Rachel was awesome!! I took my pup Hazel to her for boarding. She kept me updated and sent pictures and videos of Hazel. I will definitely recommend her and will be returning. Thank you so much Rachel.”
“Melissa and Richard were BEYOND incredible with Dior! I already knew we chose the right people to care for him after leaving our meet-and-greet. Melissa and Richard invited us into their home so we could get a better idea of how Dior's stay would look like. They have a nice yard that they allow the dogs to freely roam! They incorporated a routine to allow Dior to feel more comfortable during his stay and they were also able to give him his medication without any problems. Melissa and Richard send updates every day - a little summary of how the previous day went alongside several photos! They are great with communication. They even washed Dior's blankets, cleaned his bowls, and sent him home with some of the treats that he really liked! Melissa and Richard are not your average dog sitters. They truly do go above and beyond. I highly, HIGHLY recommend leaving your pups with them. Thank you Melissa, Richard, and Pebbles for taking great care of Dior!”
About: "I bond with pets instantly, offering playful training for pups and gentle care the for seniors. My 20 years bring youthful energy and responsible attention." Pet care is a big part of my day. I schedule in walks, playtime, feeding, and grooming, making sure each pet gets the attention they need! Because I have dogs of y own and been a dog owner since I was about 10 years old! In my home and yours, I prioritize safety with secure spaces and constant supervision. Trust is built through consistent, loving care, creating a stress-free environment.
“Absolutely phenomenal experience with Barbara 💕 I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Cooper. Barbara treated him like one of her own, and it was so reassuring to see how comfortable and happy he was. She sent daily updates and adorable pictures, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. Cooper made himself right at home, cuddling up in Barbara’s bed, lounging on the furniture, and enjoying his time with his new buddy, Enzo! He ate well, slept soundly, played happily, took daily walk’s and was clearly loved and spoiled throughout his stay. It means so much to find someone who genuinely loves and cares for your dog as if he were her own. I would absolutely trust Barbara with Cooper again and cannot recommend her highly enough! ❤️🐾🐕”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life, I personally have two dobermans (Grim & Reaper) and a chihuahua named Churro, who are the friendliest dogs ever and love to play with other dogs! I currently am unemployed right now as I am a stay at home mom, so this will fit perfectly into my daily routine and weekly routine. Plus playing and taking care of dogs? Of course that would fit right into my schedule! I like to play with my dogs and my neighbors dogs, cuddling with them is a plus and I do like to train them if they are still puppies.
“Mark & Carolyn are the best sitters. My 2 labs stayed with them for a week. They had walks, playtimes, nap time, and dinner time. My dogs loved it there! I could tell from the many beautiful photos I received from them daily. The photos are so gorgeous, I plan to frame some of them. They truly care for animals, and I am so glad I found them. I had no worries while I was gone. They were treated like family. I plan to use them as often as I can. They are home all day to pamper your pet. You will not be sorry using this sitter. I highly recommend them.”
“Cassandra took great care of my two fur babies. She sent pictures, videos, and text updates. I know my dogs were comfortable in her home. Cassandra was warm, welcoming, and good at communicating! She did everything to keep our fur babies comfortable. We are forever grateful and highly recommend you book with her!!”
“Chanelle did a great job with our two doggie’ long term stay. She shared photo updates regularly. She has a safe home with a lot of covered outdoor space for the dogs to run around and play. Will book her again for sure!”
“Chad was great. His whole family really spoiled our Joey. Was not sure my dog wanted to come home haha. Communication is key and Chad kept us updated throughout the weekend. Thanks for taking care of our dog Joey and would absolutely recommend him for your pet. Thanks Chad”
“Awesome experience! Karen took such good care of our Stanley. She sent pictures and regular updates and was super communicative and flexible. Would definitely recommend her to anyone!”

I had a great experience with Mark sitting my dog Stormy. This was my first time ever leaving her anywhere and the first time she was taken care of by anyone other than family. Mark was aware of this and made sure to ease my worries and ensure that Stormy would have a great time and would be well taken care of. Mark made drop off and pick up extremely easy and was communicative and fast with his responses from beginning to end. I even got multiple pictures and videos of Stormy throughout the day! Would definitely book again.
We had a wonderful experience with Barkley’s dog sitter! She was incredibly nice, caring, and made everything go smoothly. I really appreciated all the updates and photos she sent throughout the stay. It was great being able to see Barkley and know he was doing well and being taken care of. Everything went perfectly, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy dog sitter. We will definitely be using her again!
Happiest Dog when we pick up our pup. Thanks to Luzi and her husband for welcoming Finn in like family. They are so accommodating and communicate with us daily to keep us updated. They do so much extra to make sure our dog is not lonely and is happy while we are away. Thank you!!
Wendy and her family do a wonderful job caring for our dog Lulu. We had a family emergency last minute and she replied right away to confirm she would be available. Wendy does great staying in communication and providing updates which eases our anxiety while we are out. Thank you Wendy for making our doggie boarding experience easy, and for taking such good care of Lulu.
We are so grateful to have found Whitney! Every time we pull up to her house, our dog gets so excited, it’s clear our dog truly loves being there. That alone gives us so much peace of mind when we’re away. When we pick him up, he always looks happy, well cared for, and like he’s been in the best hands. We feel incredibly lucky to have someone we trust so much with him and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.
We had an excellent experience with our dog sitter! They took amazing care of our dog Yeti while we were away and kept us updated the whole time with messages and photos. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. Yeti came back happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I really appreciated the professionalism, communication, and genuine love they showed for our dog. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!
I was very happy that my dog bandit was happy with Christina. Her home was lovely and it was a great setup for my little dog. And it looked cozy for him, which I loved. They gave him the attention he needed and loved. I was happy that my dog was happy. Great setup and a great sitter.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Sun City is $42 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $60 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.
95% of sitters in Sun City 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 Sun City 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 Sun City.
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 Sun City. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 Sun City 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 CA 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.
