“We were thrilled with the love and attention that our pup, Abby received from Michelle and her boys. Everything went smoothly from start to finish. Will definitely use her services again!”
“Kelly is an amazing sitter! My dog Dumpling immediately felt right at home with her and her family. She is considerate and attentive and I felt secure during our vacation knowing that Dumpling was cared for and loved. My dog is a cuddlebug and she had the opportunity to cuddle to her heart’s content. ❤️ I will definitely book with Kelly again!”
“Sam had such a great time at Melodie's house! She sent me pictures and videos of him having a blast while I was gone. He was so happy and wore out when I picked him up! Drop off and pick up was super easy and communication was excellent. Would definitely book Melodie again next time!”
“Claudia is a true dog whisperer! Our elderly, picky, skittish, timid chiweenie ate without issue and even began playing with the other dogs there. Claudia sent us regular updates and photos. And Paris, who is afraid of everyone, warmed up to her right away. We have already scheduled our next visits!!”
“From the moment we dropped off Scorch, Chuck was friendly and welcoming. Communication throughout was excellent, with regular updates that gave us peace of mind while we were away. We felt confident leaving Scorch in such a clean and secure environment. Scorch came home happy and well taken care of, which really says it all. We'll definitely be using Chuck's services again!”
“Sherrie was knowledgeable, kind and patient with Buddy. She kept us updated with text and pictures during Buddy's stay and made Buddy comfortable in her home. Buddy has new doggy and human friends which he will be happy to visit again.”
“We picked up our guy today after being gone for 8 days. First time leaving him anywhere so we were nervous. Chris and Julia were amazing. They were so nice and made us feel comfortable. They sent us daily updates and we could see he was enjoying himself and getting along with their dog. We were able to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing he was in good hands. They’ll definitely be our go to sitters in the future.”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had an amazing experience with Deanna as our dog boarder! She kept us updated with plenty of photos and messages, making us feel at ease while we were away. Communication was top-notch, and her friendly demeanor made everything even better. Our dog, Boise, had a great time playing with her dog and her kids, which we know made his stay extra special. Highly recommend Deanna for anyone looking for a caring and attentive dog boarder!”
“I can’t rave enough about Andria, Jonathan and family! They accepted my request on short notice and allowed me the opportunity to bring Denim and Zara over for a meet and greet. I received daily updates and photos “every” morning on my girls and they were treated like family. Andria kept me well informed on my oldest and ensured she had her meds as required. If you’re looking for an excellent sitter and an amazing family to care for your fur babies, I highly recommend Andria and Jonathan. I will definitely re-book over and over!!!”
“After having very bad luck with 4 previous dog sitters, we decided to finally give Rover a try and I'm so glad we did. Lilly came through at the very last minute and even agreed to give Frankie a ride home at the end of his boarding. She sent us pics and videos of her dog Rory and Frankie playing and having a great time. Her communication and follow through was on point. It's so refreshing to know your pup is in great hands while you're traveling, giving you one less thing to worry about. We no longer have to stress before our next vacation about our dog being cared for. Highly recommend Lilly!”
“Mandy and her family are just the sweetest. They were extremely accommodating and very patient with Rosie. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing Rosie was in good hands. I would not hesitate to book with Mandy again.”
“Christina was on time, to and from. Actually, she arrived earlier than scheduled, which helped out even more. She ensured communications, and updates, were maintained. The photos sent by her all shown my Snowy Bella was in safe hands. I forgot a food item, but Christina had no problem going out of her way to get it for her. Having a nice sizeable yard is a huge plus, which we all know. So that was perfect for my Snowy Bella because she is super energetic. Snowy returned home with an incredible smile. Christina's expertise and handling with dogs is for sure recommended by me. As I've informed her, she will be requested in the near future for my Snowy!”
“Kimberly was fantastic! Our four month old doodle loved her, her home, and backyard. She was kind and easy to communicate with and sent pictures and videos of our puppy’s fun day. I highly recommend using Kimberly. I know we will definitely use her again.”
“Sonia was the best! I really appreciated the photos and videos, I could see that Tina was happy and wagging her tail 🤣 I loved that Tina got to hang out with Chuy, he’s adorable. Everything was great, I will 100% keep booking with Sonia.”
“Nick, Veronica, and the boys are the best… we had to leave our girl for a whole month… not easy to do. They were wonderful step in pet parents for Maggie. Thanks again!!!!”
“I loved receiving the updates about my Lily dog. His home is very well maintained and I can tell Lily was very well cared and attended to. So much better than putting her up at Petsmart. Lily and I will be looking forward to continue our pet sitting relationship with Sean!”
“Kylea and her family are absolutely amazing!! I was nervous to leave my cat as this was the first time leaving him with someone and I can’t say enough great things about her!! She sent pictures and updates all the time which calmed my nerves! I will refer her to anyone who asks! Thank you Kylea!!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Waddell
Claudia was everything you would want in a dog sitter. Outside of just being a nice person, my Teddy really enjoyed being around her. We did a meet and greet outside in her backyard to make sure her dogs and mine would get along. Her backyard is set up really nice for dogs. After the initial meet and great we went into her house to see where Teddy would be staying. Her house is setup nicely for boarding dogs. She also sent daily pictures and videos of the dogs playing and of course sleeping. Overall a great experience for both Teddy and I.
Sherrie was wonderful to our nervous lab while it was her first boarding experience. It’s apparent while chatting the years of experience and knowledge she’s accumulated. Great communication, daily updates, and her home is an animal paradise! 5 stars, you can trust her with your furry family! Thank you again Sherrie!

This was my first time using Rover and Christina made my experience seamless and anxiety-free! She took great care of my dog Truman, who is a very anxious dog. She introduced him slowly to her dogs and his new environment to make sure he wouldn’t get overwhelmed which I appreciate so much! He stayed with her for a week and she made sure to keep me updated with pictures and messages. I highly recommend her and I will definitely be rebooking! Thank you Christina!

Very happy with the care Milo got while we were out of town! Deanna sent pictures and kept me posted on how he was doing which I greatly appreciated. leaving Milo with someone else is always hard but knowing he was in good hands helped. I’d definitely use Deanna again !
Very blessed to have met this family on such a short notice. She was very responsive and sent updates with pictures throughout the entire time. Her communication gave me complete peace of mind, and it was clear that they provided a safe, loving, and welcoming environment. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy and reliable care!
Michele was a great and trustworthy sitter for my dog during my time in the area. Very communicative and accommodating to ensure everything is comfortable for your fur baby. I don’t even think my dog missed me when I dropped her off with Michele! 🤗 I would recommend her to anyone needing a reliable sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Waddell on Rover is $37.74 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 2,180 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Waddell. 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 Waddell 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 Waddell 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 Waddell 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 Waddell.
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 Waddell 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.
