“Michele is so great! Emma loves spending time with her whether it be for one night or five. Emma gets excited, starts whining and wagging her tail when we turn the corner to Michele's house. You will not be disappointed with her care of your pets!”

“We couldn’t be happier with our experience! Boarding three large dogs isn’t easy, especially when one needs medication, but Sherrie was so kind, flexible, and attentive. It truly felt like our dogs were staying with family rather than being boarded. They had plenty of time to play in a large fenced yard and came home happy and relaxed. We are so grateful for the excellent care and would highly recommend her.”

“Melodie was great for our dogs! This is our first time having our dogs watched by someone other than family. We were so nervous, Melodie made us feel so much better. Communication was great and so were the pictures! Will use again”

“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!!”

“She took great care of my dog and provided regular photos and updates, which I really appreciated. It was clear she paid attention to his personality and made sure he was comfortable. I had a great experience and will definitely book with her again.”

“Dina is a great conversationalist and big hearted woman. She is kind and sweet and it’s obvious she loves animals. Her two little pups are absolutely adorable and helped my pup blossom. I was hoping for a boarding care where my dog could open up more to other dogs, and this stay didn’t disappoint. I look forward to bringing my dog back to her again.”

“Kimberly was friendly, attentive, and caring. She treated my dog like her own, and my dog warmed up to her immediately. She was very flexible and sent us the photo updates during his visit which gave us such peace of mind. I highly recommend her and will definitely be booking her again.”

“Nick and Veronica were amazing. We left our dog in their care and not even for a minute we were worried about our dog. We kept getting updates and pics throughout the day about his food, activities etc. They showered so much love that he was missing them after coming home. We appreciate Nick and Veronica for giving him safe space and environment and a lovely home with such warmth. I recommend everyone to book them and I would keep rebooking them for our dog. Thank you so much for keeping our Rio like your own.”

“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 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!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Waddell
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.
