Kelly is so caring and took amazing care of our Toby. She was super responsive and flexible with us as we had a family emergency at the drop-off time and horrible traffic at the return time. I would strongly recommend Kelly to other dog owners that want a loving, caring home for boarding or daycare.

Myron and Pat were very conscientious and caring with our five year old Havamalt. We were comfortable and enjoyed our vacation knowing that Swiffer was being well cared for. They sent updates and photos every day. We plan to book with them again for our next trip. We recommend them with no hesitation.

Kim was great. I was only gone overnight but I received about 10 pictures and videos of her and Dylan. She let me know he ate his food which sometimes he doesn't when I'm away. He was very well taken care of. Thank you Kim! I will re-book when I go out of town again.

Mitch, his wife, and his pup Shelby were amazing! I felt very comfortable leaving Tuna with them. I think she had a little mini vacation. Lots of walks and playing. I got lots of photos and messages from Mitch. Two things Mitch does that not many others do: 1. Mitch let my dog sleep in their bed. 2. Mitch only takes 1 dog at a time. I felt comfortable knowing that my dog would not be around any not so nice dogs. I would highly recommend Mitch. I would not hesitate to use him again. My dog came home happy and healthy.

This was our second time using her for dog boarding, and once again she was absolutely wonderful. She is kind, friendly, and genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. She went above and beyond to make sure my dog was comfortable, happy, and well cared for during the stay. I appreciated the updates and the extra attention she gave to my senior dog. It gave me great peace of mind knowing he was in such loving hands. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter, and I would gladly book with her again.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had an amazing experience with Deanna as our dog boarder! She kept us updated with plenty of photos and messages, making us feel at ease while we were away. Communication was top-notch, and her friendly demeanor made everything even better. Our dog, Boise, had a great time playing with her dog and her kids, which we know made his stay extra special. Highly recommend Deanna for anyone looking for a caring and attentive dog boarder!

Leanna and Berlin were great! Wrigley is 14yo, blind and partially deaf, which gives him a lot of anxiety. We picked him up and he was so calm! He has eating issues and they went above and beyond to find food that he would eat, even making him special mixes. They were very communicative. Highly recommend!

We always feel at ease when our pup stays with Sebatián and his family. Our dog is nervous girl, but we never worry that she isn’t given all the love, fun, and care she needs to feel comfortable during her stay. He is very responsive, flexible and makes the whole process a breeze!

Bobbie Jo & Sam were amazing. Had a last minute work trip and I was super nervous having to leave my pup behind, and my first time having to leave a dog with someone I did not know. They treated Daisy like their own pup and kept me updated throughout the week. Super happy and the price was very fair. Thanks guys!

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!

We had this wonderful couple watch our 5-month-old puppy, Moxxi, for three days and three nights while we were out of town. Moxxi is a very timid and shy puppy who hadn’t really been around anyone but us before, so we were pretty nervous about leaving her. They did an amazing job — sending us daily updates and pictures to let us know she was doing well and settling in. It was such a relief to see her open up and get comfortable with them! When we came to pick her up, she was happy, healthy, and excited. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, caring pet sitters!

I couldn't be happier with the care my dog receives whenever he is in Peter’s care. Peter is incredibly responsive - always quick to answer messages and provide updates. He is dependable and I never have had to worry about my dog being in good hands. What impressed me most was the genuine care and attention Peter shows my senior dog.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Surprise

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of June 2026, there are 2,446 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Surprise. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.

96% of Surprise sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Surprise landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.

If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.

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.

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.
