“We left our Great Dane Zazu with Sierra for the weekend and couldn’t be happier! She did an amazing job caring for him, and he got along great with her pups. We loved the updates, photos, and videos—such a relief knowing he was in such good hands. Highly recommend!!!”
“Patch has an awesome time. He was well taken care of and we will be back. Stephanie sent us pictures of Patch and we got updates from her. I highly recommend Stephanie to watch your dogs.”
“Benjamin was great with my weenie dog. Holmes had a fun time and I got lots of cute pictures and video updates. He really went above and beyond to make sure Holmes felt comfortable and was safe. This was my first time using rover and I’ll be using him as my sitter from here on out. Thank you so much!”
“Melodie is so sweet took such great care of your dog and provided her with some extra essentials. Our flight got delayed and she was so understanding and helpful to us.”
“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.”
“Kathleen and Steven had my chihuahua for 7 days and treated her like one of their own. They made her comfort a priority. They also sent me pictures and videos and little recap’s of her day. It was comforting to know she was being well taken care of. They don’t keep large dogs, which was a huge comfort having such a small dog. I will definitely use them again!!”
“Myron and his wife Pat are always so sweet to Daisy. She gets excited to see them and loves to cuddle with them. We don't worry about Daisy when she is with them. They are good and reliable pet sitters.”
“Isabel took my dog on short notice, and Belle had such a relaxing weekend. Thank you for making our transition to Arizona so much smoother, and we are so thankful for your wonderful family for taking Belle in.”
“Claudia did a great job of caring for our Greta. We really appreciated the updates with pictures that Claudia sent to us daily. We are traveling to Kansas in the middle of May and will leave Greta with Claudia. I'm sure Greta will be glad to spend those days with doggie friends. Tom and Jan Garrett”
“Kylea took absolutely wonderful care of my pup, Paco, and I couldn’t recommend her more highly. From start to finish, it was clear how much she genuinely loves the animals she looks after. Paco was happy, well cared for, and clearly comfortable in her hands the entire time. I would absolutely be using her in the future and cannot recommend her enough.”
“Mitch was the best. He sent pictures all the time, letting me know that Bella was happy. He has her smiling with all the spoiling he did. He helped with the feeding problems we were having and even has her walking up the ramp now. I cannot say enough about how comfortable we were with Mitch. I highly recommend him to anyone.”
“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!”
“Kelly was amazing. She kept me informed daily on how my boy was doing. Was very responsive when I had questions. I have already rebooked with her for an upcoming trip. Highly recommend!!!”
“Dina was amazing with my three super energetic boys. They can be a handful and she had it handled. I am a new Rover user and was very hesitant, but Dina is exceeded my expectations and am happy that I found someone I can trust.”
“From the moment we dropped off Scorch, Chuck was friendly and welcoming. Communication throughout was excellent, with regular updates that gave us peace of mind while we were away.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Surprise
Benjamin and his wife were absolutely wonderful! They took excellent care of our dog and sent plenty of updates, giving us peace of mind while we were away. They were friendly, attentive, and truly went above and beyond. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend them to anyone!
Sonia is an outstanding sitter. She went above and beyond to make my anxious little guy feel safe and secure. Sonia communicated with me everyday and gave me regular updates on my pup. I would not hesitate to rebook with her. I felt very lucky to have her take care of my dog.
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!

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.
96% 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, 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .
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.
