“Sonia is absolutely amazing — truly the best sitter I’ve ever had. She gave constant, thoughtful updates and showed so much love, care, and attention to my pup. She even accommodated me last minute, which meant the world. She exercises my dog and treats her like her own. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such good hands. Thank you so much, Sonia”

Thank you , Sanah!”
About: "As a retired Registered Nurse, caregiving is in my DNA. I’ve loved and lived with dogs my entire life, and I treat every pet like family. I have decades of hands-on experience with daily feeding, active walking, and—drawing on my professional background—safely administering medications. For years, friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to give their beloved pets the highest level of care, safety, and affection." "Since I am a retired RN, I have a completely open and flexible schedule. I have plenty of time to dedicate to playing with, exercising, and closely monitoring your fur babies. Whether your pet needs strict routine consistency, frequent potty breaks, or just extra companionship throughout the day, my open routine allows me to seamlessly adapt to their specific needs." "I offer a safe, reliable pet care environment featuring a secure, fully fenced backyard and a doggie door for easy outdoor access. My approach to pet care is rooted in safety, structure, and affection. I ensure all pets are closely supervised, fed on schedule, and given their required medications precisely as directed. Whether hosting your pet in my home or visiting yours for local check-ins, I provide the peace of mind that comes with a lifetime of dog-owning experience and professional caregiving standards."
About: I have been a trusted pet sitter since I was a young child. I’ve taken care of dogs, cats and pets all of kinds, sizes and with various different needs. I have trained young puppies to tending to senior dogs who are need of more personalized and tender care. I understand that animals communicate their needs in many ways and it is my job to ensure that their needs are fulfilled and they are taken care of in a way that is beneficial to their health and well being. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine. I’m currently a student at Grand Canyon University and I work remotely, which gives me a super flexible schedule and plenty of time to give pets the attention they deserve. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, or just hanging out and keeping them company, I’m able to be fully present and responsive to each pet’s needs. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, and I make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for throughout our time together. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or theirs, I focus on creating a safe, relaxed, and loving environment tailored to each animal’s needs. At home, I live in a spacious casita that’s perfect for pets to feel comfortable and cared for. There’s a fully equipped dog park just steps away for playtime, and a scenic golf course behind the property where I take dogs on long, enriching walks. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and committed to keeping their pet’s routine consistent—mealtimes, potty breaks, play, and any specific instructions are always followed closely. Whether it’s in my place or yours, I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel happy, safe, and right at home.
“Nikki is a great communicator! It was my first time leaving my 7 mo. old puppy with anyone , but my mom for an extended period of time. She made me feel super comfortable , she sent pictures & let us know how it was going while he was there. Ranger loved it!!! We will definitely be going back! He slept like a baby all night after playing with the other pups”
“Sierra and Jason were wonderful caretakers! Our dogs didn’t want to leave when it was time to pick them up! They followed every instruction, sent lots of photos of our pups being loved on! Highly recommend. Rates are better than most, as well! Top notch.”
“I don't think I could have found a more entertaining place for Guido to spend his day. I'm just sad that they're almost an hour's drive for me, or I would continue using them. I think Guido is actually disappointed to leave.”
About: As a proud owner of three rescue dogs and a cat, I have years of experience caring for animals of all shapes and sizes. I’m used to the beautiful chaos of a multi-pet home and know how to provide a safe, structured environment. Your pet will receive plenty of affection and personal care in a home that truly understands what it means to be part of the family. My day starts at 5:30 AM with morning potty breaks and a structured feeding schedule. After the school drop-off, I dedicated my mid-mornings to long walks and playtime. Since I am home throughout the day, I let the dogs out every two hours or whenever they bark to let me know they need a break. Your pet will be part of a consistent, active, and very attentive routine. Safety is my top priority. My home is set up to keep pets secure, with a fully fenced yard and constant supervision during outdoor time. Because I have a multi-pet household, I am an expert at managing slow introductions and ensuring every animal feels comfortable. I never leave guest pets unattended with my own pack, and I make sure my curious cat and friendly dogs interact safely with all visitors.
“This is our second time having Josephine watch our doggos. She is incredibly nice and so accommodating. We feel at ease with Josephine taking care of Nala and Willow. We know our dogs are well loved and taken cared of when they're with her.”
“Evan was our first experience with rover and for sitting our pup. We were very pleased with the overall experience. He’s kind and patient and very communicative throughout the visit. Which helped us be more comfortable leaving our pup and be also sent videos and pics! Would highly recommend him, his place is also ideal for animals. Plenty of room to get exercise and stretch their legs! We’ll be using him a lot more, we plan on doing more family trips and with a sitter like Evan we have piece of mind and can leave our dog without worries! Thanks again Evan see you soon!”
“Sierra is the absolute best! She’s so communicative and is so thoughtful about caring for my dog. She keeps me updated with lots of pictures, which are basically a montage of my dog living his best life. Very grateful for Sierra!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Surprise
Thank you! Our little dog loved it there and was happy both upon arriving and leaving and arriving for her second day too. We found Leanna and Berlin to be very kind and accommodating on the hours. We highly recommend them and would be happy to be repeat customers. Thank you again!!
Sebastián and his family are magnificent. Gus thoroughly enjoyed his time. He was very calm and showed no stress like he sometimes does when he's leaving daycare. I know they played with him and fed him lots of treats and he went on good walks. This will be his home away from home as long as they're available.
Sophia was AMAZING! She was so attentive, caring and responsive when taking care of Brooklyn. She had her own space in Sophia’s home, and I was sent plenty of photos throughout my dog’s stay. This was a super smooth experience for Brooklyn and I. I’ve had some mixed experiences here on Rover but Sophia is one of the best sitters I’ve had. I will definitely be using Sophia again. Thank you again!
I’m so grateful for the amazing care my senior dog Bella receives! They’re incredibly attentive and send updates throughout my long 12-hour workdays. I get plenty of messages and pictures, and it’s clear Bella feels comfortable and well cared for. It gives me such peace of mind knowing she’s in such caring hands. Highly recommend! 🐾
Gabby did an amazing job making my pup feel right at home! She kept me updated throughout the day with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. Her communication was great, and my pup absolutely adored her. She’ll definitely be my go-to whenever I need someone to look after my pup! 🐶💕

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Surprise
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Surprise on Rover is $32.1 per day (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 Surprise 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 1,832 sitters in Surprise, 88% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
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.
