“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.”
“Sheila and David were wonderful with Plymouth while we were away last weekend. This was Plymouth's first visit with them, and I was happy that they had only their own two dogs in the house with him. Their house is set up to be very dog friendly and safe. Sheila was good about texting me periodic updates and pictures.”
“We are so pleased with the care Erica gave my mom’s dog while she was on vacation. We received daily updates and photos of her dog. She made sure he was comfortable and secure. They went on daily walks and had other friends to play with. Rates were very affordable. She even offered to drop off my mom’s dog for her as she is elderly and doesn’t feel safe driving at night. 5-Star service all the way.”
“Beth is amazing! She was great with my dog. I just adopted my dog, and she did a wonderful job making my dog feel safe and comfortable. I will be back soon. Thanks Beth!”
“I was so nervous about leaving Bruno but my worries were quickly put to rest after getting out of the car. Bruno walked into the yard with no hesitation. He even led the way into the house, just like he had been there before. Vicky was amazing. I truly appreciated the frequent photos and videos. Bruno never skipped any meals. We both discussed that the first night he may not eat dinner but he did. I loved that in each picture you could see that he had made himself at home. For me, then greatest tell of the care he received was when I picked him up. Naturally he was very excited for me to be there, but he would also go get a drink of water, and went back for rubs with Vicky as well. There aren't many people that will get deliberate attention from Bruno when I'm around. I know that Bruno was well cared for and I felt safe knowing Bruno was doing well.”
“Kat was great and very patient when we didn’t know how to use this app, and our flight was delayed overnight, and I’m sure we made the whole deal annoying for her, but she was kind and patient and very responsive to communication. And Paris really seemed to enjoy being there and playing with her dogs. Thank you, Kat!!”
“Gail is wonderful! She watched my little dog for just under a week. He took to her immediately. She had a few other dogs onsite which was great. I highly recommend her :)”
“Sylvie is just the best.. My puppy must have enjoyed her extended stay, I think she even added on a few pounds.. Happy puppy even happier Pet parent.. Marley learned to play & jump around with other dogs.. I loved Sylvies videos... So glad I found her on Rover.. 😍”
“As always, Dan is quick to respond, sends pictures of Boomer and is very kind in working around our schedule. We appreciate you Dan!! Boomer always seems so happy in the pictures. We will continue to be repeat customers!”
“Your dog will be treated like a member of the family at Ashley's. Your dog may not want to leave! Our DD was loved and adored. The video updates were so appreciated and showed us that our dog was happy and healthy while we were off gallivanting and helped us with our missing her.”
“Darlene watched our little Sophie for 5 days, she sent pictures and communicated fast and friendly. Her environment is safe and dog friendly. She treated Sophie as part of her family. She took excellent care of our 12yr old pup, and I highly recommend her!”
“Gina was attentive, kind, and great energy! I felt very comfortable knowing my babies were in good hands. I received daily pictures and updates. I couldn't be happier with our experience.”
“Carina was wonderful! We’ve never left our dog anywhere before so we weren’t sure what to expect, and she took very good care of him. He got lots of attention and she was very accommodating with his desire to be around her all the time. I got some photos and updates while we were done which was wonderful. I’d definitely ask here to watch our dog again!”
“It's such a comfort knowing my dog is on a real vacation when she stays with Pamela. She is excited when we arrive and the daily updates and pics are a real treat for me. Pamela is like a dog whisperer, she instinctually knows how to bring out the best in a dog and truly loves and enjoys their company. They know it too. I highly recommend Pamela, she's absolutely wonderful!”
“Barbara has taken care of Leo and Finn many times, but this has been the longest I have left them ( 3 nights 4 days) My dogs feel quite at home at her place and she even gives them friends ( other dog guests) to visit and play with . She is quick to communicate and reassure how my dogs were doing and sent plenty of pictures and great videos . She treats my dogs like her own and I know they are always well cared for and come home happy !”
“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.”
“Richard & his wife did a terrific job taking care of Bella. It was the first time we’d been away from her since we adopted her. They took her for walks, played with her and she was a happy girl. We will definitely use them again whenever we are away from home. Thanks so much!”
“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!”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Tucson is $40
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Tucson
We had a meet-and-greet where all three dogs were on their best behavior, and we were hoping that introduction would carry over to the actual sitting. It was the opposite. One of the dogs marked the apartment from stress and Melissa told us it was a reason she might not sit for us again. All three cried at the front door for the first thirty minutes and she let them key off each other's anxiety rather than separating them, which made the first stretch harder than it needed to be. Our previous sitter separated them and they settled much faster. She also suggested we book three separate sitters, which is expensive and a logistical nightmare when you're traveling. If your dogs are reactive to each other when anxious, it's worth asking about her approach before booking. We're hoping that with repeated visits the dogs will get more comfortable with her and it will get easier. Consistency with one sitter is the key.
Elizabeth took care of my Coco while I was away for 10 days. It was our first time boarding and I was a bit nervous, but Elizabeth was very kind and patient with us. We first did a test run by doing a doggy day care to see how Coco would react. My Coco ended up having a great time and loved the company of Ernie and Mylo, seems like they have been friends for a lifetime. During my trip Elizabeth sent pictures and was very communicative. Coco got a lil something on his paw and Elizabeth let me know immediately and soaked his paw with Epsom salt and bandaged him up which I really appreciated. Please note this had nothing to do with her care, my pup is prone to growing cysts and it might be what happened here by the looks of it. I think coco has learned a lot from her pups & so happy he gets along with both of them really well. I feel so relieved that I can seek her services again when I have to travel again and know that my pup will have fun and be taken good care of.
If I could give a hundred stars, I would! Chris was AMAZING with my sweet boy! I have never had to leave him before and we are very dependent on each other since I work from home, we are together 24/7. I was so concerned about how stressed he would be, plus he recently was diagnosed with Idiopathic Vestibular Disease which makes him a little unsteady and dizzy. I was so worried about his ability to navigate a strange place with someone he didn’t know. I was literally sick with worry! But Chris was the best sitter I ever could’ve hoped for. He was patient and kind and gentle with my beautiful boy and I feel as though he genuinely cared for him. He was excellent with sending me updates about how he was adapting during my 10 day family trip to Scotland. He sent me so many wonderful pictures and videos, and was always very responsive if I was just missing my boy and wanted to check in on him. I never had a delay in response from him, I never had to worry that something was wrong for even a second. I’d never dream of trusting Otis with anyone other than Chris from here on out. I can’t recommend him enough! Thank you again, from the bottom of my heart! I am so grateful 🙏🏻
This was our first time leaving Koda with anyone and Regina and Michael did a great job with Koda. They took him on dog walks, swimming and had lots of play time which Koda needs to expend all his playful, puppy energy. I appreciate Regina’s daily updates and photos. Thank you so much!!
Lacey picked my pups up from the destination and took great care of them, I had to extend their stay by a week last minute and she was more than willing to accommodate and care for them extra time. Very responsive, and glad my pups were in good hands! She also handled one of my dogs daily medication very well.
Sylvie was fantastic! She was able to take my two week booking on short notice after my regular sitter canceled and I'm going to make Sylvie my new go-to sitter. She was super patient with my nervous dog and got my baby comfortable with her home and her dog very smoothly. She was also very understanding when my return flight was delayed and I couldn't get my dog until the next day.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Tucson on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 551 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.
94% 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.
