“Jessica was an amazing sitter for our 12 year old lab who needs daily medications and some extra attention. She watched her for 4 days and sent us plenty of updates / pictures. Our pup got all the belly rubs, attention, and affection while we were gone. We had little cell service on our trip and had no worries leaving our senior pup in Jessica's capable hands. Would highly recommend and plan to use Jessica for future sittings when we're back in Tucson.”
“Words cannot express my gratitude to Ashley for accomodating my chiweenie Coochie last minute on Easter weekend. Coochie was untrained and antisocial and Ashley worked her magic and taught her how to sit and socialize, even with bigger dogs! If I could give seven out of five stars, I would. This woman and her kiddo are a wonder team of dog trainers that you don't want to miss if you need someone to trust with your 4-legged baby. What a relief and a delight! Thanks Auntie Ashley!”
“Cameron and Tyson are the best! My dogs had the greatest time staying with them and were completely at ease and comfortable in their home. Cameron and Tyson made sure to send me pictures and updates on my pups. We can’t recommend them enough and will certainly be back to stay in the future!”
“Dave is amazing! Our dog is super high energy and takes twice daily meds. Dave has taken care of him twice and he comes home happy, healthy, and calm! He is awesome about sending pictures and updates. He is obviously very experienced with dogs and you can tell he genuinely enjoys hanging out with them. He is the BEST!”
“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 dog loved Erica. He came home very happy. She took him on walks (which he loves) and send us lots of updates and pictures. Will definitely come back. Thanks Erica.”
“Wilson loved his stay with Kiana and Klayton. We were nervous about leaving him with strangers, however, it was apparent when I first got to their home that he would not be a stranger for long. They sent pictures of his adventures during his stay. Kiana and Klayton seem to have a genuine love for animals. I will definitely consider them for future stays.”
“Jodi is an excellent pet sitter who gave my little Oso (pomeranian) lots of love and care. She was very attentive and integrated him into her family immediately. She gave me daily updates and sent pictures! I really appreciate the peace of mind she offered while my baby was away from him family 🥰 Thank you Jodi!”
“Grace loved being at Gina and Michael's house. They gave her a wonderful overall experience living in a new environment and meeting new canine friends. We will definitely book with them in the future.”
“Tori took great care of Ralphie while we were away. She sent frequent updates and pictures, and was very quick to communicate. I would definitely recommend her to pet owners and plan to use her again in the future!”
“Ciara did a great job taking care of our nervous chihuahua mix Finn! She sent picture updates and let us know how he was doing. He got along great with her other dogs which we really appreciated!”
“Amy did an amazing job with Zoey! Lots of walks and playtime! We always looked forward to the daily updates and pics! So nice to be away on a trip and know Zoey is being looked after like she is part of Amy’s family! Thank you so much🐾❤️”
“Marley is the best! She treats Coco like family..I’ve used her multiple times because she’s responsive and sends regular photos throughout the stay. Coco is high energy and she gets plenty of exercise and love when she’s there. So grateful!!”
“Rue already misses Jacqueline. What a fun time she has and we are kept up to date daily on her activities. A very loving fun time Rue had. We most definitely will use her again! We may even have to book some intermittent meet ups. Rue was very sad to leave but happy to be home”
“Walter and Family were the perfect hosts to our Panda for a 4-day stay at their lovely home. This was the first time Panda had been boarded in 3 years, and my husband and I were nervous about leaving him overnight due to his separation anxiety issues. . However, our worrying was for nothing! Panda was so very well taken care of and the Family even sent lots of pictures to put our minds at ease. Panda fit in like one of the family it is very clear that Walter and his family love animals. This was such a good experience for Panda and for us. You can be sure that we will be seeing Walter and Family again when we need boarding for Panda. So glad we found such a great family!”
About: Hi! I'm Becca, a Tucson dog mom who genuinely loves spending time with dogs of all ages and personalities. I know every dog has their own routine, and I'm happy to stick to whatever helps them feel comfortable. Whether your pup needs a long walk, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or medication, I'm here to make sure they're well cared for while you're away. My goal is simple: to treat your dog like part of my own family so you can relax knowing they're in good hands. I can schedule for walks or drop-ins before and after work (morning and evenings). I work from home Monday through Friday for doggy day care and boarding I have a 3 bedroom split level house. My home is a clean, comfortable space where dogs can relax and feel at ease. I have one dog of my own and make sure introductions are done carefully so everyone feels safe.

We couldn't have chosen a better couple to take care of Arlo and Guthrie. We wanted to keep our dog and kitten together since they both are quite young. They have a lovely home with incredible cat structures that Guthrie loved to explore. The yard was a feature that Arlo enjoyed with their mellow dog.
Jessica did a wonderful job taking care of Kona. Jessica’s kids really enjoyed playing with Kona and Kona enjoyed playing with them. Jessica walked her daily as we requested. would recommend Jessica as a dog-sitter anytime! Responsible and caring! Thank you Jessica and family for taking such good care of Kona.
This was Charlie’s first stay with Lorena and her family. I am so excited to have found her! I got daily updates and pictures of a Charlie. I think I was missing him more than he missed me by all the fun and love he was getting. Will def be reaching out to her again!
Joann is the only reason we can go on our annual vacation that is usually scheduled during monsoon. Our sweet Luna has severe anxiety during thunderstorms. Joann is so great and kind, treating Luna like we do during storms. We are able to relax and enjoy our time away because we know Joann is going to take great care of Luna. She is absolutely the best!!
We had to find a sitter on very short notice, and Devin & Hailey were absolute lifesavers. They responded quickly, were flexible with our timing, and made the entire process stress-free from the start. Our dog Boomer settled in comfortably right away, which says a lot. We really appreciated the regular updates, photos, and the clear care and attention given throughout the stay. It gave us real peace of mind knowing our dog was in such great hands. We’re incredibly grateful for the last-minute accommodation and would not hesitate to book again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone dependable, responsive, and genuinely caring.
Lori was wonderful!! She took excellent care of Gwen, sent updates with pictures and made us feel comfortable right from the initial meet and greet! It was so nice to find someone who we can trust to take care of our girl while we are out of town. We will absolutely leave Gwen with Lori again in the future.
My usual Rover sitter has been filling up lately so I was looking for an additional person to use and came across Alicia’s profile. It can sometimes be worrisome when trying out a new sitter, but I immediately felt at ease when meeting her, and she was so easy to work with! They embraced my dog as part of their family while I was away, and it made my heart happy. He was very sad to leave upon pickup, which is always a good sign in my opinion. I would highly recommend Alicia and will be using her in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Vail is $41 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $57 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 515 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Vail. 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.
94% of sitters in Vail 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 Vail 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 Vail.
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 Vail. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 Vail 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.
