“Ron is abundantly kind, gentle, and caring! He sent me a ton of photos of my pup, and adhered to her schedule, was flexible for her needs, and more. Ron’s home is perfect for small to medium sized dogs and we will certainly be back!!”
“Ashley is AMAZING! She took the absolute BEST care of my Bluey! Ashley made sure to send videos daily and always checked in with updates about Bluey. If I could give her 10 stars, I would!!!”
“Sylvie is absolutely wonderful with our dog! She keeps him happy and healthy and keeps us updated. We are so glad we found someone trustworthy who loves our dog as much as we do.”
“Kat took such great care of Luna. We were able to meet ahead of time for my dog to get acquainted with kat’s dog and house. Kat sent photos and kept us looped in the whole time we were away. I felt 100% confident that my dog was well cared for and happy.”
“Barbara was attentive to every need be it dietary, emotional or methods to make my cherished dog at ease. When I returned to pick him up there was not the over anxious exuberance to see me which told me that he was at complete ease in Barbara’s home. This was the first time in ten years where I have felt no angst leaving him. Thank you for caring and loving him like your own!”
“Gina was so great with Hazel! Hazel can be a bit of a flight risk, so we’re always a little nervous about that, but Gina was very understanding and assured us they would be extra cautious. Gina sent pictures throughout Hazel’s stay and kept us updated. She took her to the dog park and on car rides which is perfect for Hazel who is high energy! She was also very flexible with meet and greet and pick up/drop off times as our schedule requires a later time. Would definitely book again!”
“Excellent care by easy to work with sitters. Managed an oral medication easily. Lots of petting, walks, and a nice big backyard. Finn comes home tired and happy.”
“Korrina took such good care of my babies! She was very responsive in her communication with the booking and while my dogs were in her care. She sent lots of pictures and provided updates through out the stay. I will definitely be re-booking with her again!”
“Miriam was so great with my dog, Nova! She sent me lots of pictures every day which made me feel good that Nova was being well taken care of. I could tell Nova had a ton of fun and she didn’t want to leave! I would definitely have Miriam watch my dog again and would recommend her to others.”
“Our pup came home dusty and thoroughly exhausted, which means he had a great time playing with the other guests. Based on our discussions and her interactions with the dogs, it’s obvious Brittani has a lot of experience with dogs and knowledge of dog behavior. I would use Brittani again.”
“Caitlin was super kind and patient with my cats. She eased my anxiety when I saw how good she took care of the kitties! I would definitely recommend her :)”
“Loren was amazing and put some of my anxiety at ease with our high energy aussie. She sent daily recaps and pictures of our dogs. It looked like they had a wonderful time and were so happy/tired when picked up. She communicates quickly with any questions/concerns. Would love to have our dogs stay with her again!”
“Tori was fantastic, especially with my older dog who was nervous about being apart from mom and dad. She gave both dogs treats, scratched my older girl in her favorite spot and made her feel so much better, even let her get up on the furniture! My younger dog loved playing with her dog and getting attention from Tori. I didn't worry about my fur babies at all when they were in her care. Totally worth every cent!”
“Lara’s communication before and during boarding were awesome! She sent pics and videos so we could see what our pup was up to while we were away. She genuinely seems to love having the doggos around and we would highly recommend and use her services again!”
“We couldn’t have asked for better sitters for our dog, Ollie. Water and John (along with their sweet dog, Poppy) were incredibly kind and welcoming, making Ollie feel right at home from the start. They kept us updated with regular texts and photos, which truly put our minds at ease while we were away. When Ollie had a little trouble adjusting to the new environment, Water and John went above and beyond to help him settle in comfortably—even letting him sleep in bed with them, which we really appreciated! Their genuine care and flexibility made all the difference. We would absolutely recommend Water and John to anyone looking for thoughtful, reliable pet sitters. Ollie was in wonderful hands, and we’re so grateful for their exceptional care!”
“Lauren was absolutely spectacular with our doggies! She was super communicative and gave great updates throughout the weekend we were away. It gave me so much peace of mind that my dogs were doing so well while we were away. Would 100% recommend Lauren and will be using her again in the future!”
“Sassy enjoyed another stay with Christina. Christina took such wonderful care of her and sends pictures that we always enjoy receiving. We are so thankful we found Christina and don’t worry about our fur baby when she is with her.”
“Our cat, Reggie is no picnic. He is old and a bit cranky; he complains a lot and loudly. Julia took care of him for three weeks while we were abroad. We could not have been happier with her care for Reggie. Highly recommend.”

Julis is a good communicator, & made it easy to organize pick-up and drop-off times. She has a lovely easy going way about her, & my dog was as happy as can be with her! She followed all instructions perfectly, which was important due to my dog’s advanced (15!) age and pancreatitis.
Caitlin & Kai are such thoughtful and caring dog sitters who truly love dogs! They kept us updated on Goma every day and always let us know about any adjustments they made to better care for him. We could really tell how much they love and care about dogs, and they’re both incredibly kind and wonderful people. We’re so grateful for all the love and attention they gave Goma. Thank you both so much! ❤️
Esther was great with Chico. As he is an older dog she attended to his extra needs responsibly. Esther continually kept us up to date with photos and messages to ease our separation. We greatly appreciate all her kind loving care she shared with Chico. We would definitely have Esther care for Chico in the future! .
Joyce was wonderful with my 14 month old high energy Bernedoodle. She walked her in the evenings and followed the daily routine that she was used to doing. She’s calm, patient, and understanding and that’s exactly what my dog needs to vibe off from. We’ll be return clients for sure.
Sheila and David were absolutely wonderful!! They took such great care of our girl and when we picked her up we could tell she had a great time! Sheila and David are an absolute delight and gave our pup plenty of love and attention! Would highly recommend them if you need a sitter! :)
Penny had a wonderful time with Elizabeth. She took such good care of my girl and sent amazing photos the whole time. She looked so happy and got playtime in with friends ! I’m so happy she had a vacation at the same time we did! I would definitely leave Penny here again next time . She made a new best friend with Ernie. I don’t think she wanted to come home. Elizabeth was also very responsive the whole time and was able to book quickly. Thank you for taking care of our baby.!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Tucson is $42 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $56 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 567 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Tucson. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
95% of sitters in Tucson 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 Tucson 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 Tucson.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Tucson. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Tucson 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
