“We are so grateful I found Michele to petsit our golden doodle Chella on Rover. She was so nice and caring with our dog. Michelle had no problem with my special requests to feed Chella her Raw frozen beef formula which is a bit more work than kibble. And to be understanding about her anxiety and over excitability. She quickly came up with ideas of how to accommodate our dog’s particular needs. So helpful! Our dog loved Michele’s big backyard, especially drinking from the creek water feature! We had to cancel and reschedule our trip start date due to bad weather, then extend few days and she was able to accommodate our schedule changes. I would highly recommend Michele due to her flexibility, kindness and willingness to take our large dog despite normally only petsitting small dogs. Her and her family gave Chella much love this past week. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Kelly is so caring and took amazing care of our Toby. She was super responsive and flexible with us as we had a family emergency at the drop-off time and horrible traffic at the return time. I would strongly recommend Kelly to other dog owners that want a loving, caring home for boarding or daycare.”
“Claudia took such incredible care of our mini bernedoodle, Kirby, who suffers from separation anxiety. She was patient with him and he had a great time spending time at Camp Bentley. Thank you so much!”
“We always know “our boys” will be very well cared for and have always been very pleased with the care that Sherrie provides to them. They love roaming in the grass and always are very exhausted when we bring them home. Thanks Sherrie for opening your home to Oakley & Kodak and providing top notch care!”
“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!”
“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!!!!”
“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 !”
“Dina is the best dog sitter! She takes such great care of my two little ones. It’s nice to have someone that I trust that takes such good care of them when I need to travel. Highly recommend.!!!”
“Kimberly was amazing! She welcomed us into her home at drop off and was so patient with this anxious pet mama. Marty had a great time and we got lots of pictures and updates. Would definitely recommend her to anyone!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Kim was great. I was only gone overnight but I received about 10 pictures and videos of her and Dylan. She let me know he ate his food which sometimes he doesn't when I'm away. He was very well taken care of. Thank you Kim! I will re-book when I go out of town again.”
“They are nothing short of amazing! I had boarding plans for my dog fall through last minute and they took her the morning of, with only a couple hours notice. They eased Lily (my dog) into meeting their dogs to make sure she was comfortable and let her get used to the backyard before taking her inside. Picture and video updates everyday and honestly sent them before I was able to ask for them, so they’re on top of it! Definitely at the top of my list when it comes to needing someone to take care of my pup.”
“Jed & Genevieve’s home was our puppy’s home away from home! They said he did really well, and they sent comments and pictures while we were away. Look forward to using their camp Bow Wow once again!”
“Sean is AMAZING. This is the second time we have left our dogs with him and they love it there. He is really good about sending pictures and videos. We will use him again for all our pet sitting needs!”

We found our new dog sitter! Claudia exceeded our expectations. She sent us a daily video to show us how Gus was doing. We really appreciated the videos so we could see him in action and how he was truly acclimating for the week we were away. She treated him like he was her own and gave him lots of love. We even got a video of him playing with her dog, which is a first for Gus. Highly recommend, will definitely use Claudia again.
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!
We are so lucky to have found Lily! She was so amazing! She gave me peace. Knowing my baby was well taken care of. She sent lots of pictures when I was gone on my trip. Some of which made me laugh. And filled my heart with joy. Would highly recommend Lily to take care of fur baby while you were gone.Thanks Lily ❤️
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.

We were in Surprise visiting from out of town and so glad that we had Jed and Genevieve be so flexible and communicative for watching our Helo. This was a same session meet and greet and drop off due but we felt comfortable knowing she was in good hands. Will definitely rebook on our next visit to Surprise!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Waddell on Rover is $37.74 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 2,189 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.
95% 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.
