About: I really just have a love for dogs that is unmatched. And my dog Dodger will love to have a new friend. He is amazing with other dogs and loves to play all day. I work Monday through Friday, but my dog always has free roam of the house and yours will too. I spend time playing with my dog everyday around 11am so your dog will have all the attention needed. Your dogs will be welcomed and treated like my own with free range of the backyard and home. We will go on early morning walk daily.

Absolutely enjoyed knowing Kari was watching my 4 kittos. She sent daily updates and pictures to let us know they were doing okay while we were gone. Crockpot especially loved getting loved on by her. (She sent us some belly rub pictures.) Even our more shy cats were doing good. When we came home all were in good spirits. Would rehire her, and I do recommend.

About: I am here to provide dog sitting, dog walking and even daily check ins! I have had years of experience with animals! Obviously I have had dogs, I have had around 4 dogs within my life and 2 that have seizures which has given me experience with giving medication. I have one inside cat and I have had numerous outside cats. I have also had turtles, fish and a bearded dragon. I have also worked at PetSmart which has given me experience with all different types of animals including birds, reptiles and hamsters. I work part-time so I do have some more time to take care of your pets! I am usually more available in the mornings along with late at night! I am currently working part time as well as being a full on student. I have plenty of time in the morning as well as late at night to make sure your pets are taken care of! I will make sure your dog will be let out to go to the bathroom and for a little play break! If needed/wanted I will also take your dogs for walks! I will make sure all cats are loved for and I will play with them if that’s what they like!! I will make sure their litter box is clean and ready for the next day!!

About: I have always been a dog and cat lover. I grew up around cats and dogs and see them as furry family members. Each one have their own personalities, needs and wants. I live in Yuma and available weekdays, weekends and holidays. I can make home visits and take your babies out for a walk & make sure they are well fed and hydrated. I have a fenced yard and can easily crate your baby dog if needed. I have puppies myself and indoor and outdoor are safe environments.

About: I have been caring for and watching over house pets since I was a child for family, neighbors, and even friends. These people have depended on me to care for their animals when it came to bathing, walking, and watching over their fur babies. I am currently working a set scheduled Monday through Friday from 8AM to 5PM. I am available to set aside time after 5:30 PM on weekdays. On weekends, I am flexible to work with your needed timeline. Throughout my life, I have spent lots of time learning the personalities of many cats and dogs. Through much time and some research, I have learned to better read their non-verbal cues to understand what they like and dislike. Maintaining this knowledge has given me the ability to make the animals under my care feel feel safe, understood, and genuinely cared for. I am committed to providing a respectful environment, while prioritizing your pets comfort.

About: I am a senior lady who loves to take care of animals! All are unique in personality and I love figuring them out! I have had many dogs live good long lives, and I am well versed in Senior Care. My experience includes birds, guinea pigs, cats, hamsters, dogs, and open to more! I will keep your home secure and your pets safe, while you are gone and your pets and I will have fun along the way! I am retired, so my daily routine will revol around you home and pet needs. I am up for exercise for myself and your dog, walking is my first choice! Cats are a bit harder and it generally is play, also I am not opposed to leashing and taking your cat outside if that is part of their routine. I need to sit at your home, and I will care for it like it was my own. I notice and decifer the animals que's very quickly, so after a morning potty, usually it's time to eat. Then we would get in some exercise. After that a nap is usually in order.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a little girl and had the pleasure of assisting many families with their pet sitting needs prior to Rover. My care includes but is not limited to: walks, scritches, feeding, bathing, playtime, treats and tricks, and tucking in the sleepy pups for bed. I also can assist with administration of medicine per request and with instruction, as well as open line of communication. I have had to give my own pets medication and I am not afraid to assist in that field. I haven't worked too much with seniors but with instructions I am eager to learn! Puppies are a blast, and any training that needs working on I can absolutely assist with. As of right now I am completely open with my schedule other than Tuesdays. I can fit my schedule to your pets sitting needs without any issues. My schedule consists of errands and my own physical health and making sure my own fur babies get the care and love they need. I can work around my schedule to meet clients needs, and will communicate if I am unable to pet sit due to vacations or trips back home to my family. My care includes but is not limited to: walks, scritches, feeding, bathing, playtime, treats and tricks, and tucking in the sleepy pups for bed. I also can assist with administration of medicine per request and with instruction, as well as open line of communication with pet parents via txt and phone call. Videos, pics, and or FaceTime can also be requested per pet visit. I can't wait to meet your fur baby and become best buds!

About: I have taken care of dogs for over 7 years. Family and friends have trusted me of taking care of their dogs, and if pets could talk they would say they had the best time with me. I'm currently working part-time. I'll have plenty of time to take care of your fuzzy friends such as feeding, playing, and bathing on the weekends. I have a good home environment and two friendly furry friends of my own. If needed I will definitely be able to crate your dog.

About: I don’t accept hugs or kisses (only from fur babies). I will not book you again if you don’t respect my personal space. I rarely do last minute bookings (even if you are an established client). I do meet and greets at the park. I will observe your dog and also how you interact with me and your dog. After our meet and greet, I will provide my home address. Starting 2025, I will be taking time off for my birthday, my husband’s birthday, Valentine’s Day (and weekend), the second day of the county fair, the month of November and December (I will be preparing for a full marathon), as well the first week of January. Please check my calendar for availability. Unexpected life events or situations may arise. Thank you for your understanding .🙏🏼😊🥰❤️ I am not a trainer but I will give your dogs all the love and attention as if they were mine ❤️. You can read my reviews to find out what my clients think of my services. Please also look at all the pictures (I have over 300 pictures posted) so you can get an idea of what your dog will experience at my house. If you decide to go with a different sitter, I hope this information helps you. The care of your best furry friend matters. Don’t go with mediocre care just because it cost less. Do a meet and greet, schedule a day (or multiple days) of daycare or a night of boarding to see how your sitter interacts with your dog during the booking. There has only been one Rover sitter that has met my expectations (for boarding). She doesn’t live in Yuma. Whenever I have an emergency, I have to travel 5 hours to take my dogs to her. It is worth the drive. I only accept dogs that have all their shots (including Bordatella for kennel cough). I let all dogs roam freely around the house. If your dog is not potty trained or urinates out of anxiety, I will provide diapers. All dogs need to be picked up before 8pm (I rarely make exceptions depending on the situation). I wake up early and work hard all day with the fur babies so please respect my time. If you talk to me for long periods of time at drop off or pick up, I won’t book you anymore. I rather spend my time with the dogs. This is not mean. The dogs have taught me to be honest and authentic. I will also not provide service if your child is behaving like they are at a playground. This is not a park or a child care center. Please do not message me constantly, spy on me, or come look for me at my house to convince me to provide dog sitting services. This is a violation to my privacy. Please read all details. If you are new to Rover, you save $20 with promocode: LAIZAG47087 The following description is to help those who are new to Rover. Boarding-over night stay at my house Day Care-up to 8 hours Home drop-in visits(does not include a walk)- 30 min to an hour home visit to check on dog(s), administer medication, play with them, give them affection and make sure they have food and clean water. I highly recommend one hour so I can spend enough time with your dog(s) and prevent them from getting anxious. I will not book any adult dog that is expected to hold their pee for more that 8 hours during the day and for more than 12 hours at night. For puppies, my policy is not more than 4 hour during the day and not more than 7 hours at night. Your dog’s comfort is my priority. Walks -30 minutes to an hour walk (I highly recommend an hour walk if your dog is alone most of the day). This will prevent them from getting anxious. *The total cost of service includes a one time Rover fee (that money goes to Rover). *Rover takes 20% percentage of my pay. *Extended stay fee is automatically added if you drop off and pick up time are not the same (I receive 50% of that fee). This is to compensate sitters for their extra time. *Please do not send me your phone number or ask me for my personal number in an attempt to make a deal outside Rover. Rover can track the conversion. I think is important to have our meet and greet first. My rates won’t change. I will not book anyone who is hostile, aggressive, acts entitled or doesn’t respect my work or time. *once you send me a booking request, I will set up a meet and greet. The meet and greet is to decide if we are a good fit for each other. Meeting is NEVER more than 20 minutes. I respect your time, please respect mine. *if everything goes well at meet and greet, we can both accept booking. Rover will ask you to enter you credit card information to process your payment. The booking becomes official once the payment goes through. Some client find it helpful to bring their dog to day care before actually boarding their dog. This will help your dog become more familiar with me and our home. This also reduces the level of anxiety. It gives me us an opportunity to get to know each other. For large breeds, you must book a day of daycare before actually boarding your dog. It gives me an opportunity to see how your dog interacts with me and other dogs. This is to ensure all dogs are happy and safe. The following breeds must be crate trained (I can provide crate): Pit bull (or any Pit Bull mix), Boxer, German Shepherd, Rottweiler, American Bulldog, Bullmastiff, Siberian Husky, Doberman Pinscher, Chow Chow and Cane Corso. I will only crate them if I need to step out of the house (for a short period of time). These breeds need to be well socialized and exercised in order for me to provide daycare or boarding. I do make exceptions with dogs who have been traumatized in a crate. I will never put your dog in a crate if they go into survival mode. *If you are an established client and you are having issues with the Rover App, I can actually request booking for you (just send me a message in our latest conversation). I can also modify your booking (up to the booking date) in case you need to make changes. *If you are running late for drop off or pick-up (30 minutes to an hour), there will be no extra charge as long as you let me know in advance. I value your time, please value mine. *100% of the money you tip me goes to me. A tip is not a requirement. Thank you 🙏🏼❤️. *I'm usually not on my phone between the hours of 9AM and 9PM. I decided to try Rover as an attempt to be a full-time fur mom. I fell in love with the whole experience. All dogs come with a message of love and compassion. I am very grateful to my clients for their respect, kindness and trust. Dog sitting has allow me to meet some of the most beautiful people in the world. ❤️ I put my heart and soul into taking care of beautiful dogs. This is not a side job or a hobby. This is my full time job and I am proud of it. I know how hard it can be to find the right person to take care of our fur friends. I had struggles of my own. I was not able to find a long term dog sitter for my dogs. Luckily, I am now able to stay home with them. I am the daughter of immigrant parents. I was born in California but raised in San Luis, Mexico. I have a masters degree in Human Relations, a bachelors degree in Exercise Science and minor in Chemistry. I been married for 8 years. My husband is a veteran and he loves dogs. He helps me with the dogs on the weekends. You will see him in some of the pictures. In the past, I have mainly worked with children and teens (P.E Teacher and Academic Success Advisor). I have also had other jobs such as administrative Specialist, Community Specialist, Zumba Instructor, Substitute Teacher, Academic Advisor and Testing Coordinator. During Covid, I developed my own business mentoring children and teens (for emotional support). From all the jobs I have performed, dog sitting has been the most tender to my soul. I learn how to be kind and compassionate to myself and set clear boundaries with humans. 🥰❤️ My dogs will not be part of the meet and greet. I have learned to introduce dogs slowly (as well as toys). There is no rush. Dogs have different temperaments. Some dogs act differently around their owner and some dogs need time to adjust to each other. Your dog's comfort and safety are my priority. I will let you know if they don’t get along. You don’t need to be present. Thank you! I spend my day with the dogs. I even take them on car rides except when the weather doesn't permit it (high temperatures of 115 and above because you can’t even feel the AC in the car). I sometimes have to step out of the house to attend to a doctor's appointment, pick up a dog or walk a dog. It's never more than 2/3 hours. If your dog doesn’t like to be created, that’s totally fine with me as long as they are ok staying at home. I let dogs roam freely around the house but if you have specific instructions, I will make sure to follow your instructions. I don't take in more than 5 dogs at a time. This is to ensure a safe and comfortable environment for all dogs. I will provide you with at least one daily update (with pictures). You are welcome to request more updates. Please bring dog’s food. This is extremely important because some dogs develop an upset stomach due to sudden food changes. If your dog doesn't like dry food, please bring frozen cook meals for me to warm up.

About: I've had dogs all of my life and they have always been inside dogs so I know how to care for dogs. I've got two of my own that do everything with me, including going to work. I've regularly dog sat friends and families dogs when they are out of town. I work full-time but in my role i've got freedom to come home and tend to things whenever i need. If your dog needs frequent potty breaks or attention i can make sure I am there. I've got two super energetic and friendly dogs that enjoy other dogs and love playing in the backyard. It's a pretty big yard and is fenced in so they will be in good security. Dog's are allowed on the couch and bed.

About: Hi, aloha. I have had animals my whole life as well as pet sat ever since I was a kid for neighbors and friends. There isn't a pet I won't care for. Currently I have 2 pitbulls at home who are my big babies. I especially love big dogs and have no issues with breeds considered to be "aggressive". I can provide refrences upon request. My schedule is currently open 7 days a week for sitting around my part time work schedule. I work M - F 9 to 3. I can stay in the client's home or go to the home multie times a day to feed and make sure they have water. I love to talk and give them attention so they don't feel so alone.

About: I treat every pet like they are my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I know every pet has a different personality, so I take the time to get to know what they like, their routine, and any special needs they may have. I will be keeping you updated with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. My goal is for both your toe beand baby and you to have a great experience with me. I care for my families pets every day, so pet care is already built into my routine. My day includes feeding, playtime, grooming as needed, and making sure they get plenty of attention. Because pet care is part of my everyday life, I'm comfortable providing consistent, reliable care for other pets as well. When I'm caring for your baby in your home, I'll make sure they stay on their usual schedule and feel safe in a familiar place. I'll also keep your home clean and tidy, bring in packages or mail if needed, and make sure everything is just as you left it. If your pet stays in my home, they'll have a safe, clean, and loving environment with plenty of attention, potty breaks, exercise, and time to relax. I'll supervise them closely and make sure they always have fresh water and a comfortable place to rest. I believe communication is important. I will be sending regular updates and photos (you can give me a time frame for the updates Ex: every 30min) so you can see how your pet is doing and have peace of mind while you're away. Im here for your baby to feel happy, safe, and loved until you return.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Yuma on Rover is $17.76 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting 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 Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 109 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Yuma. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Yuma stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Yuma choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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 .

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Yuma with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Yuma. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs

  • 100% 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.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
