“The entire stay was perfect! Leanna and Berlin sent so many pics and videos of my pup enjoying herself. They loved my pup as it were me! Definitely will be using them for the future!”
“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.”
“This is our second time with Kathren and Steven. We received pictures of the dogs--that was great! they took great care with our 'babies' and would highly recommend them to others.”
“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.”
“I will be rebooking my girls to stay with Michelle again - they were so happy with her. I received daily updates from her too! My vacation was better because they were in good hands.”
“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.”
“Sierra and Jason thank you for taking care of my Lilly and providing me with updates along with pictures. You showed my fur baby compassion when she was triggered by the storm. I truly appreciate that and would recommend your services to everyone! Thank you!”
“Our flight back home was delayed and Nick & Veronica were able to extend our girls stay. They always go above and beyond to make sure our girls are taken care of!”
“Rae was great with Olive! She sent picture updates and I know she got her walks in! Rae made Olive feel right at home with snuggles and keeping to her schedule. She’s a dog lover and I had no worries! Thanks Rae! Olive will be back!”
“Benjamin was AMAZING!!! He really went above and beyond!! This was the first time we were away from our fur baby in years, and we were really concerned. But Benjamin did a great job letting her relax, and warmed up to him. We can’t thank him enough!!!”
“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.”
“Sherrie was so great with Lani! She sent me daily pictures and kept me updated on how she was doing. I had never left her before with anyone, so I was definitely a nervous dog mom. Sherrie set my mind at ease from the get-go! Thank you so much for taking such good care of Lani!”
“Liz has taken care of our dog Debbie multiple times, and we’ve always been very happy with her. She’s reliable, caring, and keeps us updated, which gives us great peace of mind. Debbie always comes back happy and well cared for. Highly recommend!”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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!”
“Celynda was amazing with my golden retriever. She met up beforehand for a meet and greet. She was very responsive and sent me daily pictures of my Bailey. I would recommend her in a heartbeat.”
“Francesca C is an amazing sitter. She accepted my last minute request. She updated couple of times with pictures. My puppy was happy. I had wonderful experience. Will definitely go back and recommend.”
“Sonia was the best! I really appreciated the photos and videos, I could see that Tina was happy and wagging her tail 🤣 I loved that Tina got to hang out with Chuy, he’s adorable. Everything was great, I will 100% keep booking with Sonia.”

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!
Kathy and Steve took great care of our 3 pups for almost 2 weeks. Would highly recommend them and would definitely use them again. I know taking care of 3 can be a handful but they did a great job and seemed happy to do it. Our dogs came home happy and well taken care of.
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!
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!
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!
Susan was the absolute best for our pups! Our female can take a while to warm up to strangers and Susan understood and then she loved Susan by the end of the weekend. She communicated and updated us often over the weekend which we love. Would absolutely book her again.
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!
Rachel has been amazing! We’ve utilized her multiple times. She is extremely accommodating and flexible, even accepting with only a days notice! I love that my boy is in a home environment, roaming freely with outdoor access and getting so much care and attention! Rachel sends the most adorable updates with photos and videos that completely light up my day! I am so glad we found her🐾♥️
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.
