“My dog had a great time! Stephanie was very communicative the entire time and sent plenty of photos and updates during his stay with her. I would definitely go with Stephanie if I ever needed my dog cared for in the future.”
“Sonia was amazing with my little chihuahua! She kept me updated many times throughout the day with photos and videos and my dog looked so happy. You can tell Sonia really loves dogs and will care for them like they are her own. I highly recommend Sonia!”
“Michele is literally the best. My pups felt very comfortable when arriving. She sent pictures and updates on how they were doing which I loved. I was really relieved they were in good hands while I went on vacation.”
“Rae watched my dog for 15 days. My Maple was well cared for, loved and kept safe. I truly appreciate Rae. She updated me and sent me pics in a regular basis. I will always continue to use Rae to watch my dog! Eileen”
“Very happy with the care Milo got while we were out of town! Deanna sent pictures and kept me posted on how he was doing which I greatly appreciated. leaving Milo with someone else is always hard but knowing he was in good hands helped. I’d definitely use Deanna again !”
“Amber and her family were Fantastic!!! The whole family is warm and friendly, my cat bonded with them almost immediately. Communication was great, Amber sent pics and videos, after the second day, I was not worried at all as my cat was probably more spoiled there then at home!! Amber is my go-to from now on!!!”
“Rachel took care of our 2 King Charles cavaliers, and if our dogs could talk, they’d say they had a WONDERFUL time haha. I know this because she sent me so many pictures of them snuggling and happy! It made being away from the bareable. Thank you again Rachel, we will send our fluff balls to you again soon!”
“Gina and her family made me feel at ease leaving my dog Chubbs in their care. I received many updates and pictures of how much fun Chubbs was having. I made me happy to see Chubbs having such a good time. Chubbs is an English bulldog and need extra attention with daily cleaning of his face folds or he will get an infection. Gina did a wonderful job keeping Chubbs’ face clean dry.”
“I could not have asked for a better family to look over my puppy! Brooke was very kind, scheduled a meet and greet with our dogs to make sure it was a good match and kept me updated at all times. They were very attentive, caring, and kind and I would highly recommend her! Hoping to book again.”
“Miss Ivy had her second stay with Kara and Chris and we had absolutely no worries about her care during our trip. Daily photos and videos of her living her best life with new friends. She had a blast! Thank you for taking such good care of our girl! Until next time……”
“My fur baby was so happy with you Sherry &Rusty I thought she did not want to come home. So glad and extremely happy that Zwiebel had a chance to stay with you and the thought and care for her was exceptional . Thank you so much”
“We picked up our guy today after being gone for 8 days. First time leaving him anywhere so we were nervous. Chris and Julia were amazing. They were so nice and made us feel comfortable. They sent us daily updates and we could see he was enjoying himself and getting along with their dog. We were able to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing he was in good hands. They’ll definitely be our go to sitters in the future.”
“Absolutely fantastic person! Was able to book on short notice and was super kind and accommodating. Was super good with my dog from the beginning and really put me at ease at drop off. Made sure to update me on my baby about halfway through the stay. 10/10 would use again.”
“Oh my Gosh Ashley did such a great job!! My dog is very timid and has a herding instinct yet Ashely has 3 big dogs and after a couple of days they all played together. My trainer was very impressed with how well Heidi did after not seeing her for over a week. It was recommended for Heidi to go to Ashley for play dates to keep Heidi social.”

Our fourteen-year-old special needs pup, Bella spent the day with Sonia. We are leading up to leaving Bella for a week with Sonia and decided on small introductions to ease her anxiety. Bella soon warmed up to Sonia & her family. Sonia sent photos & video of Bella during her stay. Thank you Sonia.
Leanna & Berlin B. took an excellent care of my dog, Trixie, during my vacation. I was given daily reports and I could see that Trixie was looking happier as time went by. I strongly recomment Leanna & Berlin if you need to have someone take care of your loved one while you are away.
Kim is amazing! My dog isn't the easiest dog to deal with and is was her first time being away from me. But she handled her very well and sent me pics and videos to let me know how she was doing, which made me feel less stressed. I have highly recommend using her! Thanks, Kim!
Jennifer was amazing with my 2 pups. She was prompt when replying to the potential last minute booking as my family could not assist with care during this trip. She was fabulous at sending update photos of their activities. They were truly safe with her and they showed it upon my return. Tilly knew it was time to go home and made her way over giving Jenn a hug and kiss goodbye, her way of saying thank you and I love you! Impeccable care and love given during my time away. Jenn is gold!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Surprise is $43 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $70 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 2,443 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Surprise. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Surprise 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 Surprise 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 Surprise.
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 Surprise. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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 Surprise 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 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.
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.
