“Stephanie was a new experience with several dogs in the home. Cuddy was a little shy but warmed up to them and Stephenie's family. Cuddy was happy to see her each morning - learning a new routine. We will definitely return when in Arizona and in need of a Rover.”


About: Bruno works with Technology and Renata is a registered nurse from Brazil who is currently completing the requirements to practice nursing in the United States. This allows her to be home throughout the day, so your dog will enjoy constant companionship, personalized care, and will rarely be left alone. Caring for dogs has always been a big part of our lives. Bruno grew up around German Shepherds raised by his grandfather, while Renata has cared for dogs for many years and truly treats every guest as if they were her own. Our goal is simple: to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience where your dog feels at home. Your dog will be treated like part of our family 🧡 Hi! We’re Bruno and Renata, a dog-loving couple living in a spacious home in Ocotillo, Chandler, with our friendly 9-year-old Golden Retriever, Eva. We understand how difficult it can be to leave your dog behind while you’re away. That’s why we do everything we can to make each guest feel safe, comfortable, and loved from the moment they arrive. Unlike large boarding facilities, we provide a calm home environment where every dog receives individual attention, affection, and plenty of supervised playtime. Why pet parents choose us: 🐾 Large, clean home with a fully fenced backyard. 🐾 Renata is home all day long, so your dog is rarely left alone. 🐾 Daily walks (adjusted to Arizona weather). 🐾 Indoor, air-conditioned environment for your dog’s comfort. 🐾 Daily playtime with tennis balls, toys, and enrichment activities. 🐾 Frequent photo and video updates, so you’ll always know how your best friend is doing. 🐾 Experience caring for puppies, adult dogs, senior dogs, and dogs that require medication. 🐾 Meet & Greets are always welcome before booking. To ensure every dog receives the attention they deserve, we host a maximum of two guest dogs at a time. If you’d prefer your dog to have our home all to themselves, we’re happy to reserve those dates exclusively for them by not accepting any other bookings during their stay.
About: I am here for all the little doggies. I have a teacup yorkie myself. Small dogs need a safe place to be loved. Where their little egos can be fed and they can get all the cuddles needed while away from their family. I have a good size backyard, but they aren't allowed out there without supervision for their safety. My neighborhood has beautiful walking paths for daily walks. We have enough room where your dog could have a safe place of their own if he needed at nighttime. I do daily walks with my dog that your dog could join if they like. I work from home full-time so potty breaks and cuddles could be frequent if needed. Also because I work from home, if your dog prefers 3 smaller meals a day I can accommodate that type of scheduled. I would accommodate any diet schedule/accommodations needed. Some medications I could administer if needed. Your dog would get at least one walk per day. Nice backyard for them to play in. Back yard is fully fenced and does not have a pool.

About: While I am new to Rover, I have been caring for my friends, family, and neighbors pets for the last 30 yrs. Just like humans, no two dogs are a like, so every job is catered specifically to your pets needs. I know how stressful travel can be on our animals so I always approach each assignment with extreme calm, patience, and positivity. I am a big believer in positive reinforcement. That way your dog/cat and I can build a strong and trusting relationship. I strive to treat everyone's pets as if they are my own fur babies. My full time job is caring for your fur baby and making sure they are healthy, happy, and comfortable, until you get home. Since this is AZ, our days are planned around the heat. In the winter we spend as much time outside as possible, walking, hiking, playing fetch. I like to teach new pups how to find treats in our designated dig spot in the backyard. In the warmer months I'll set an alarm early so we can still spend a few hrs outside before it gets too hot. I like to set up a kiddy pool so all of the pups can run around and cool off. I take AZ heat very seriously and am always on the look out for animals getting overheated. I will also always check the temperature of the sidewalk before heading out for a walk. If I'm caring for a pet in your home my in home visits include *Feeding and fresh water (I'll also keep the bowls clean) *Potty breaks *Playtime or cuddles *walks or enrichment time *medication management (if needed) *Mail collection *plant watering. If there is something you need done and it can be completed within the 30 min timeframe Id be happy to help. My goal is for your pup to feel happy, fed, and loved everyday before I leave. At my home I have a medium size fenced yard that is half grass half dirt. I also have a designated dig pit for the dogs who love to dig. I have a one yr old, male, 25lb mini Aussie/terrier mix, who is the welcome wagon and loves all dogs. He's available all day long to play or just cuddle in the sun. In the winter he gets walked 3 times a day and in the summer we go early in the am and late at night. We also enjoy going to the park when it is empty or hiking. I have a medium size crate in my bedroom but there is room for a larger one. If your pup prefers to sleep in his crate alone, I also have a guest bedroom they can go in. But I usually suggest letting your dog sleep in his crate or dog bed in my room since its a new environment.
“This was my first time using Rover for my 13 year old dog and I couldn't have been more satisfied! I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with Donna. She let my dog and I come for an introduction a few weeks before our trip and that was so helpful. I would absolutely use Donna's services again and would highly recommend her!”

About: I’ve had dogs since I was a child, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I’m patient, loving, attentive, and very responsible. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and breeds, including dogs with different medical conditions that require extra attention and care. I’m home full-time, which allows me to give pets plenty of love, companionship, playtime, walks, and gentle belly rubs to help them feel safe and comfortable just like at home. I truly enjoy spending quality time with dogs and making sure they feel happy and relaxed while in my care. I do not use crates. Dogs in my home are treated like family. I also have a small dog of my own who is very calm, friendly, and well-socialized. Because of this, I can only accept dogs that are friendly and comfortable around other dogs. I’m home full-time, so pet care is part of my daily routine. I’m available all day to provide supervision, frequent potty breaks, meals, playtime, walks, and plenty of love and attention. Pets are safe and comfortable in my home. I have a fully fenced backyard and supervise them at all times. My house is spacious, and the neighborhood is quiet, secure, and full of green areas for walks and play.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 6 years and have a dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can fully trust with your pet. I’ve helped friends, neighbors, and family members with walking, feeding, bathing, playtime, and overall care for their dogs while they were away. Being around dogs has always come naturally to me, and I love getting to know each dog’s unique personality. Whether your pup is energetic and playful or prefers a calm environment, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine because I currently have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give dogs the attention they deserve. Since I already care for my own dog daily, I’m very familiar with maintaining routines, walks, feeding schedules, and giving pets lots of attention and affection throughout the day. I’m available on weekends, weekdays after school/work, and during breaks for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and overnight care. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Since I have a dog of my own, I understand how important it is for pets to feel comfortable, supervised, and cared for in a safe environment. I carefully follow all feeding instructions, walking routines, and any special care requests to make sure your pup stays happy and stress-free. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with dogs, and I’ll treat your pet with the same care and affection I give my own dog.
About: I’ve always been a pet owner. Currently have 2 cats , a dog, bunny, and backyard chickens. I love all animals and even have a daughter in vet school as a resource! I work evenings 4 days a week, usually from 4-9:00. I’m home mornings and afternoons and am available after work as well for later services I have a block wall backyard and large doggy door. My pool is fenced and my chickens stay in their coop. I have a large 2 story home and allow my pets full access to the home.
“Alex took such good care of our little girl! She was comfortable and had so much fun at day care with Alex and all of the other dogs there as well. Her backyard is perfect for sunbathing which my dog LOVES! And we got so many pictures to show just how much fun our dog was having!”

About: I've cared for dogs my entire life and have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I currently have three dogs with different temperaments, sizes, and care needs, so I'm comfortable adapting my care to each dog's routine and personality. Growing up, I helped care for and train our family dogs, including a Boxer and a Labrador Retriever. I also helped my mom care for her three dogs, giving me experience managing multiple dogs at once. In addition, I regularly care for dogs belonging to other family members whenever they're out of town. I'm comfortable with everything from energetic dogs that need plenty of exercise and playtime to dogs that prefer a slower pace or require extra patience and attention. I always take the time to learn each pet's routine so they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while their family is away. My goal is to treat every dog as if they were my own, providing dependable, loving care and giving owners complete peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I care for my own pets every day. I primarily offer care in my home, where visiting dogs become part of the family during their stay. They'll receive plenty of attention, playtime, affection, regular potty breaks, and a comfortable, safe environment. Because I have experience caring for dogs with different personalities and needs, I'm able to adapt to each dog's routine and help them feel at home. Whether your dog loves to play, go for walks, or simply relax, I'll make sure they receive the love, care, and attention they deserve while you're away. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel completely comfortable and confident during their stay. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. My home has a fully fenced backyard with plenty of room to run, play, and explore safely. We also have a park directly behind our home, where I enjoy taking dogs for evening walks when the weather is cool and safe. During Arizona's hot summer months, I adjust activities to keep pets comfortable and prevent overheating. Instead of long walks in the heat, I provide indoor playtime, enrichment, and even fun car rides for dogs that enjoy them. I follow each pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, medications, and any special care instructions. I also live with a veterinary technician, so in the unlikely event of an emergency, I have immediate access to someone with professional animal care experience. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and low-stress environment where every pet feels right at home while you're away.

“What can I say except at Cynthia is incredible! Oliver gets so excited as soon as he sees that we are turning onto her street. I’m always at peace when he’s with her because I know that she’s giving him all of the love, snuggles and playtime that he wants and needs. I could ask for a better person to care for my little guy!”


About: I grew up with dogs and cats as my Mom was a pet lover. I have been fostering for Rotten Rottie Recuse for 4 years. I even adopted a large Rottie (Brody) from them. Brody will get excited when 1st meeting a new dog. Usually I will introduce Brody and new dog slowly and after a day, Brody calms down. so far no issues have occurred. But if need will separate Brody in other room for safety. I received training lessons on using place, down and release command from very good trainer at Empowered K9. I will love yours just like my own.
“Alex was very helpful watching Elsa for 2 days I had a crazy busy work schedule. He was flexible and willing to watch Elsa until late evening. Elsa is also always so excited to see Alex whenever she gets to his place.”
“My wife and I needed someone to look after our 11 week old Goldendoodle. Mallory provided optimum care and updates on him the entire day. Highly recommended and will use her dog sitting services in the future!”

“Nicole watched Pepperjac as a puppy for some time and then we needed a sitter again a specific week months later. Pepperjac recognized the neighborhood and got so excited to be back with Nicole. We know she is taken care of, happy and safe during her stay. Great communication and updates as well. We appreciate you Nicole.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover

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 Sun Lakes 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.

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.
