“I boarded my 20 pound Miniature Schnauzer with Ron for a period of ten days while in Hawaii. My pup is an important part of my family and I want him to feel as if he is also having a vacation while I am away. After carefully researching every available boarding option I decided on Ron. I met Ron for a meet and greet before the actual boarding and his responsible and trustworthy nature was evident. Ron also has a beautifully landscaped and secure back yard. Lastly, Ron's Poodle Lily made an excellent companion to my proportionately sized Miniature Schnauzer. In my opinion, the combination of these qualities make's Ron the best choice for small dog boarding in Tucson. My schnauzer had a joyous time frolicking and cuddling with Ron's poodle while I was away. Ron did a great job of sending photos. The photos showed that my pup was eating, enjoying time on the couch and even cuddled in bed next to Ron's poodle. I received photos throughout my trip (not just the first few days) and these photos convinced me that my pup was having just as much fun as I was. Ron is a primary school teacher which is an occupation that I have much respect for and is illustrative of his good character. Ron also has a love of plants which is evident in his beautiful green yard with lots of shady places for dogs to rest and play. I was also very pleased that Ron has a dog door that my 20 pound schnauzer was able to fit through easily for constant back yard access. Overall, I do not think there is a better choice for small dog boarding in Tucson. My pup actually seemed sad to leave Ron and his poodle Lily. It was a great opportunity for my dog to socialize and play with another well trained dog. My dog came back happy, well exercised and without a trace of anxiety. In conclusion, Ron is a kind, intelligent, and caring animal lover. I would not hesitate to board my much loved miniature schnauzer with him next time I go on vacation. Ron's tranquil home and general attitude make the experience a vacation for your pet.”
“Awesome sauce ?! She was the warmest with our four legged friend and she was super tentative our girl. T was great to know we went on vacation for a special treat away, but so did our girl. Thanks Vicky!”
“Erica is absolutely the best. Rickey felt right at home and was able to socialize and go on walks and get plenty of love. We could not be happier with her stay and can’t wait to have Erica watch her again.”
“This is the first time Nissan spent time away from us with someone she didn't know. We picked Sylie due to the comments left by previous dog owners. We left Nissn for 5 days. During those 5 day Sylvie sent us videos and photos of Nissan. We were very pleased about Sylvie's knowledge and behavior of dogs. Nissan had a great time. We highly recommend Sylvie.”
“Beth was truly a Godsend for us! We have two furr babies, that are our world, and we have never had to board them before. But we had a trip we needed to take and a friend of mine told me about Rover.com. I liked what I read about Beth so we set up a meet and greet. I was sold immediately! She is so calm and loving and her pack of rescues were adorable. Our two girls fit right in! Beth and I kept in touch with texts and pics and my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our trip knowing our babies were having their own fun vacation! I highly recommend Beth, she is a lovely person we a deep love for all God’s creatures. We feel blessed to know her.”
“Gail is a wonderful pup sitter! MacGyver enjoyed his time there playing with other dogs. Drop off and pick up were a breeze and we even fit in a short visit before our trip to make sure this was a good fit for all involved.”
“This was Dixie's 3rd trip to Casa Barbara. As always Dixie got lots of love and pampering. I did not have to worry about her care for one minute. Thanks Barbara. See you on my next trip to Tucson.”
“Kat took excellent care of my little Reina. I received updates on her quite frequently. Reina was taken on several walks and appeared to get a long well with Kat’s small pups. Thank you for all the care!”
“We have used Daniel multiple times now, and I can confidently say he is truly one of a kind. Daniel is such a kind, warm, and caring person, and it clearly shows in the way he cares for the dogs entrusted to him. Our dog, Klay, absolutely loves him and he especially loves spending time with Daniel’s dog, Linus. Klay is always so happy and excited when we arrive at Daniel’s home. It has become a place of joy for him. In fact, today when I picked Klay up, I could see the sadness in his eyes as we drove away. He kept looking back at Daniel’s house, and as his mom, I know that look , he was going to miss being there. That alone tells me everything I need to know. Klay is always well taken care of, loved, cuddled, played with, and treated like family. With Daniel, I never have to worry. I know my dog is in the best hands. To any dog parents looking for someone you can truly trust. Daniel provides so much love, attention, playtime, tickles, and genuine care. Your fur babies will be safe, happy, and deeply loved. Thank you so much, Daniel. We appreciate you more than you know!💜”
“We are passing thru and fortunately found Gina to take care of our fur babies. If we lived here Gina would be our go to sitter!!! Both pups were happy and healthy when we picked them up and it was clear they were loved by Gina and family 💝”
“Brittani is everything I’d want in a dog sitter and much, much more. She not only provides individualized care and attention, she understands dog behavior, and the psychology behind why they do what they do especially in relation to the dogs and humans in their orbit. I totally recommend Brittani for overnight stays and/or doggie day care. She’s the real deal!”
“Shanda was amazing - she went above and beyond sending pictures and updates of my pup while i was away. Would absolutely book with her again. Thanks again shanda!”
“Darlene took phenomenal care of my little guy while I was in town for work. He seemed to have the best time and was genuinely excited to walk in her door. She even convinced him to eat (he’s very picky) and sent photos to let me know he was doing ok! Next time we’re in town we will be coming back for sure!! Thank you!!!”
“Jose kept my cat for a long weekend, and I couldn’t be happier. Jose gave me updates and sent pictures. My sweet girl is shy and cautious so it takes a day or so for her to warm up. By the third day, she was sunbathing on her side which means she was very comfortable. He provided a calm safe space for her. I will definitely use him again in the future and highly recommend him. Jose, thank you again!”
“Royce and Bentley had a great time exploring in the yard and rolling on the turf. Royce enjoyed his belly rubs, and Bentley got plenty of exercise from playing ball. They were so well taken care of, I’m not sure they even missed me!”
“We needed someone to watch our older dog while we were away for a week. Being new to the area we really didn't know anyone and we wanted our dog to be in a home environment where she wouldn't be alone. My wife found Cynthia on Rover and we went over to meet her. We were immediately impressed by the secure yard and surroundings. Our dog immediately bonded with her little dog Chewey. To make sure, we arranged two "play days" to make sure that all went well. Everything went better than expected and I, being an overly protective pet parent, felt at ease with leaving our dog for a week. I had nothing to worry about. Cynthia took great care of our dog, sent us regular updates including pictures and videos. She let our dog settle-in at her house where ever our dog felt most at ease and took her out for regular walks and time in the yard. When we came back we found that our dog had such a good time that I'm not sure she wanted to leave! Needless to say that Cynthia will be our first choice to watch our dog whenever the need arises! Your dog will be in good hands.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Tucson is $40

I cannot say enough good things about Lesley and the care she gave to my sweet 15.5 year old pug. She sent picture updates daily and Chimy was clearly loving life! I was nervous about leaving him with someone for almost 2 week at this age, but everything was fantastic. He even uses a doggie wheelchair and Lesley handled that great as well. I felt good and Chimy clearly felt good! Thank you Lesley!! We will definitely have you care for our sweet pug and other future pets again.
Leaving our dogs with someone new is incredibly stressful, especially when you’re going to be gone for an extended period. After a previous boarding experience that clearly wasn’t a good fit for our pups, I promised myself I would find a more personal, home environment the next time we traveled. Ron exceeded every expectation. From the moment we met him, it was clear he genuinely loves dogs. Throughout our entire trip, he sent daily updates and photos, which gave us tremendous peace of mind. Instead of wondering how they were doing, we could actually see they were happy, relaxed, and having fun. Our two Shih Tzus, Hali’a and Fitz, settled in beautifully. They even learned to use the doggie door! They had the opportunity to interact with Ron and his sweet dogs, Lily and Cannoli, and it was obvious they were treated like part of the family instead of being left in a kennel. As pet parents, there’s nothing more valuable than being able to enjoy your vacation knowing your dogs are safe, loved, and well cared for. Ron gave us exactly that. We were so impressed that we’ve already booked with him again. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend Ron to anyone looking for someone who will care for their pets as if they were his own. Thank you, Ron, for taking such wonderful care of our babies!
Patrick was absolutely wonderful! Communication was excellent before and during our pet's stay with him. He sent frequent pictures and videos (our pup was having a blast), which really set our minds at ease. It was comforting to know our dog was in great hands. We would 1000% book with him again. Thanks Uncle Pat!!
Jessica was great! Knowing my Maple was well taken cared of and loved while I was on vacation brings me so much peace. I hate leaving her and stress about it a lot, but Jessica eased that stress, making my trip more enjoyable and giving my pup a fun experience while I was away. Plus she communicated well and was accommodating when my return flight was delayed. I def recommend her and will be booking with her again. ☺️
Judy is so awesome with our dog! He is a small, elderly dog with a ton of energy and love to give. She made such an effort to make sure that she was a good match for him before we even booked. She took her time to introduce him to her dogs, her house herself etc.... and it really helped my dog feel at ease. While we were away, she was extremely communicative if there were questions about my dog... and she also shared numerous photos of him with us so we knew how he was doing frequently. Cooper always feels great and happy when I go to pick him up. I can tell that he was well cared for and loved and that really means so much. 1000% recommend booking with Judy.
Claudia was over all amazing. From communicating with me during booking as this was my first using Rover. She communicated quickly and messaged me as soon as I asked for an update. My dogs enjoyed her company and she made my dogs feel safe for their first time away from home. We truly appreciate her and would recommend booking her if you are looking for a reliable sitter. Once again thank you for your service and we look forward to booking again.
she did amazing! sent updates and pictures of my fur baby daily, tons of trips to the dog park, and even went above and beyond to make sure my korra was well taken care of after she got scared by the fireworks on the 4th. definitely will be rebooking in the future, again thank you so much for taking good care of my fur baby!
My dog Ruxtin had the best time ever at Barbara’s! . He played all day with the other dogs and came home happy and exhausted. Barbara provides a welcoming, comfortable, safe environment for her guests. She clearly loves dogs. This was Ruxtin’s first daycare experience and we will become regulars. Thank you Barbara! Bonnie

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Tucson on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 553 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Tucson. 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 Tucson 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 Tucson 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 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.
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.
