“Thanks to Kim for always being available when we need a sitter for my Blair! Not only does she take care of her very well, she also sends plenty of pictures/videos of my furball playing at the dog park! Would definitely recommend.”
“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”
About: Hey, I’m Kylea! I am a lifelong animal lover with many years of experience caring for all different types of animals! I have cared for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities. I’ve cared for everything from playful puppies and high-energy dogs to senior pets- shy or anxious animals, and pets who need extra patience, structure, or attention. Not only do I care for dogs and cats, but I have experience with bunnies, turtles, hamsters, and all sorts of animals! Animals truly bring me so much joy which is why I wanted to start doing Rover! To help others when they need a safe and loving place to have their animal cared for while away from home. I enjoy taking my dogs to the dog park and on walks although I spend a lot of the day playing at my house as I have a nice big backyard that’s a perfect play place for the dogs! I’m experienced with following detailed feeding schedules, administering basic medications, handling special diets, providing frequent potty breaks, walks, exercise, playtime, and maintaining each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I’m also comfortable caring for multiple pets at once while still making sure each animal receives individual attention and care. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I know how important our pets are—they’re family. That’s why I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re away, knowing your pet(s) is receiving the best care possible. I can’t wait to meet you and your amazing pet(s) and give them a fun, loving home away from home! 🐾💕 I am a stay at home, homeschooling mom, therefore I am home basically all day everyday- other than the typical errand runs, Sunday morning church, and sports for my kids. I would say caring for animals is a hobby of mine and I am so excited to care for yours! If I happen to leave while your dog is in my care, it will be kept inside my home in a large, gated area (no kennels), and never left outside. I have tons of space in my home so dogs that are not “related” will be kept in separate areas while I am away. Your pets are my top priority and your request is highly respected for the care of them! During the AZ summer, dogs will remain inside for the majority of the day but will still get tons of attention and playtime because in my home- we play ball in the house! :) Your dog(s) will have frequent potty breaks and tons of playtime outside when the weather isn’t extremely hot to prevent your pet(s) from being overheated. I have a double fenced yard and tons of space for your pet to play. Artificial grass, a doggie pool for those dogs who love to play in water, tons of toys, an outdoor cooler with pump, & misters and fans (though dogs will never be left outside for a long period of time). As for cats- I will keep them separated in their own, quiet space with their own litter box, food, water, and accessories/toys until they seem to feel comfortable with me and in my home. Then I will introduce the cat(s) slowly to the other cats and the to rest of the home.
“Kelly and her family are extremely friendly. My dog, Daisy got a long so well with them! Throughout my pet's stay she was committed to keeping me updated on the well being of Daisy. I would definitey consider taking Daisy for another visit!”
“Christina did wonderful with my 3 month old puppy Lily! Lily was able to socialize with other dogs which helped us out tremendously. I would definitely trust her to take care of my puppy any time.”
“Sierra was amazing, welcoming Ruby to her home last minute for daycare. She sent photos along the way - I was so happy to see Ruby playing with her sweet pups and resting on a comfy bed. We will definitely use Sierra again!”

About: I’ve been a dog lover since I can remember. Not really dogs but family to me. From walking to bathing to brushing they are my kids. I’m retired now so having someone depend on me is comforting. They keep me young and they give so much love. I love doggie kisses! However, I would prefer not to take dogs in the last months of their life. I have a fenced yard and 2 dogs - my husband and I walk the dogs we play with them and they sleep with us.
“Francesca is by far one of the best dog sitters I’ve had ever worked with. Her compassion for animals does not go unnoticed and she is always willing to accommodate if she’s able too. Her fur babies are sweet and my Simba loved making new friends. Highly reliable and I don’t plan on doing business anywhere else anytime soon. Thanks a ton!”
“Erin was amazing. It’s not easy to care for. 2 month old lab! Many thanks for the great communication and pictures throughout the day. Honestly, just perfect and I can put to rest any concerns I have leaving Shelby when necessary.”
“Megan is great! I was extremely last minute with my request to book her today for a few hours of doggy daycare. She got back to me right away and was extremely accommodating and flexible. It was such a relief to know Sophie was in good hands! She sent a couple of pictures over of Sophie playing and having a good time. She has the cutest little Pug that Sophie got to me and interact with as well. I will definitely rebook!!!”
“Jack had a blast staying with Valerie and Kevin. He did lots of running and playing came back home and slept all afternoon. Next up he’s doing boarding, I’m sure he’ll have a blast!”
About: I have always had at least one dog since I no was young. Currently, I have a wiener dog and a rat terrier that my son calls his brother and sister. I am available weekends to hang out with dogs. I have a huge gated yard and a doggy door for guests to enjoy. My husband and I can be home as needed to watch guests during the weekends! I’m open to dogs during the week, but we do work outside of the home. I’m happy to provide water and pee pads or doggy door access if you’re ok with the radio as company! Let me know! Pets in my home are treated like my very own! I have tile floors in the living room and kitchen, as well as dog beds (and of course the couch!) to make them comfortable.
“Vicki is wonderful! A real sweet and a genuine person. We got photos of our little dog Penny all day and knew she was in the best care. We will definitely be using her again when we’re in Phoenix ❤️”

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! 🐶💕

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Surprise on Rover is $32.1 per day (as of August 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 1,821 sitters in Surprise, 87% 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.
