“Veronika was quick to respond to my initial request. This was for a short, but important trip. Veronika reassured me that my baby, Stache was in good hands, & I got the Rover cards with each visit. If she is available, I will definitely request Veronika again!”
“Wonderful cat sitter! Aleksandra took great care of our cats and communicated clearly and consistently throughout the visits. We felt totally at ease knowing our cats were in good hands. Would absolutely book again.”
About: Hello! I go by Mariah or Eclipse and I'm a lifelong animal lover with over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for pets of most breeds, sizes, and ages. From high-energy to senior dogs & cats, I know how to make every animal feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their humans are away. I treat every pet I care for like my own because I know how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your fur babies. What you can expect from me is: • Personalized attention and updates (photos & messages every visit!) • Reliable, responsible care and clear communication • Experience with medication administration, leash training, and special needs pets • A calm, loving presence that helps animals feel right at home Whether you need a safe place for your pet to be during the workday, overnight care, walks, or just someone to drop by and give your pet some love, I’m here to provide! I look forward to hearing from you!! I’m a parent to a senior pug with disabilities, he requires meds & love and sure doesn’t like me being away from home so I keep my work days to a minimum. I am independent hairstylist (I make my own schedule and don’t commit to more than 5 hours in a day or 3 days a week in salon). I can provide a large soft crate if your fur baby needs it; I can adapt easily to your home to care for them however they need!
About: Ive raised hunting dogs, farm dogs, and right now 2 indoor apartment dogs. From raising puppies to assisting the elderly I have taken care of dogs. I will care for any dog the way I care for my own. I am currently a stay at home father while my wife is in medical school. I have 2 dogs 2 fish tanks and an axolotl taking care of pets has just become routine. Both of our dogs are kennel trained and we walk them frequently. If you have a yard that works as well if you prefer to have them walked I would be delighted.
About: I have 13 years of experience caring for my own pets and others. I sadly had to say goodbye to my senior 15 year old girl. It’s been one of the toughest goodbyes. I am honored to deepen my healing and connect with local community taking care of others’s pets . Since I am self employed, I am flexible to work with you through healthy and clear communication on your pet’s needs. Saturdays tend to be a day I am booked with client’s however I can always check on your pet before and after my appointment as long as I plan with enough advance notice. I value honesty, safety, and trust. I know how much trust it truly requires to leave your pets in the care of someone else. I will always make sure I am providing excellent service caring after your pet making sure they feel nothing but unconditional love, as they deserve. I prefer to care for pets in your home but I am open to caring for small dogs (15 lbs and under) in my apartment. Although I do not own a yard, my apartment has 2 private dog parks on property. I am also more than happy to take them on long walks as needed.
“Very reliable! Always provides great communication and is very patient with my dog. You can tell that Janak loves what they do and will always give your pet the attention they need. Highly recommend and will always reach out if they are available!”
“Mink was in wonderful hands with Adam and Fang! They were very patient, welcoming hosts and it looked like all 3 of them had a wonderful time together. Adam sent us multiple videos every day which we really appreciated. Leaving Mink during trips is never easy, but we felt confident he was well cared for at Adam's house. Thank you Adam and Fang!”
About: I provide loving, dependable care for dogs of all ages, including senior pups and dogs with medical needs. I understand the patience, attention, and extra care some dogs require, and I’m committed to keeping your furry family member comfortable, safe, and happy in their own home while you’re away. 🐾 Having left my own dogs in other sitters care before, I know how nerve wracking it can be. I’ll give you as many updates as you would like to make sure your mind is at ease! I work from home and have a very flexible schedule Monday through Friday. Saturday’s and Sundays I am completely free! I will be able to make one trip before work, one trip for a lunch break which I chose the time for, and one trip after work hours. The trips before and after work, I can stay for longer periods to give your pet company. The trip during my lunch would be to allow them to go outside or give them medicine or anything which that may need during the day. I’m good at following instructions and have a strong intuition. I will make sure everything is as close to normal for your pet as if you were just at work or gone for a few hours.
“christina was very communicative and she sent me so many photos throughout the day. she was very responsive when i had texted her. i would trust her to take care of your pet. thank you christina!!”
“Courtney did a phenomenal job with my cat Domi. She went out of her way to make sure my baby felt comfortable while I was away. She checked in on her every day, fed her, filled her feeder and went above and beyond for my girl. She is professional and trustworthy. I highly recommend Courtney to anyone looking for a phenomenal care taker for their pets.”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and keeping pets comfortable in their own environment. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important routines, patience, and individual attention are to making pets feel safe and loved. I have experience with different pet personalities and understand that every animal has unique needs. I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats, following specific care instructions, and making sure pets receive plenty of attention while their owners are away. My goal is to give every pet the same care, love, and attention I would want someone to give my own animals. I’m happy to provide photo updates and keep owners informed during drop-in visits! l typically work from home Monday-Friday until around 4/4:30 but my schedules super flexible! I have three animals of my own, but I’m always looking for things to do. I have two dogs and two cats of my own. With that being said, I have them crate trained and we have a fenced in backyard. They are good with other animals.
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Stella was absolutely amazing with our dog, Stormy! From the very beginning, she communicated with us consistently, checked in, followed everything we asked, and truly went above and beyond. Moises and I were able to see some of her visits through our home cameras, and what stood out most was how caring, patient, and interactive she was with Stormy. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing that Stormy was not only being taken care of, but was receiving genuine attention, affection, and companionship while we were away. Stella is dependable, thoughtful, and clearly has a heart for animals. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their dog. We will absolutely be using Stella again. She has definitely become our go-to sitter for Stormy! Thank you again, Stella, for taking such wonderful care of our girl. ❤️🐾”
About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, turtles, and fish, and I currently have two dogs of my own: a 7-year-old Standard Poodle and a 3-year-old mutt. I previously cared for a senior rescue dog, so I’m experienced with pets who need extra patience, consistency, and care. I’ve trained my own dogs and am comfortable with everything from long walks and dog park trips to detailed meal prep, medications, and specific sleep routines. I know every pet has their own personality and needs, whether that means helping a shy cat slowly feel comfortable or keeping an energetic dog happy and engaged. I’m also a strong communicator and believe pet parents should feel confident and informed while they’re away. I’m happy to provide regular updates, photos, and any details that help you feel connected to your pet and reassured that they’re receiving great care. I love getting to know each pet as an individual and providing the same thoughtful, reliable care I’d want for my own animals. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work remotely, which gives me flexibility throughout the workweek for check-ins, feeding, playtime, walks, and potty breaks. I’m used to building pet care into my schedule and maintaining consistent routines so pets feel comfortable and secure. I also have a reliable vehicle, making it easy to provide drop-ins, walks, or transportation when needed. Whether your pet needs a quick midday visit, extra playtime, medication support, or simply some companionship while you’re away, I’m able to provide dependable and attentive care. I provide care in your home so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routines. I understand that staying home can be especially important for pets who are anxious, older, have medical needs, or simply feel safest in their own space. I take the time to learn each pet’s schedule, personality, and preferences, including feeding routines, medications, exercise needs, play styles, and any special instructions. I’ll treat your home with respect, keep things clean and consistent, and provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident while you’re away. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, cared for, and loved while keeping their routine as close to normal as possible.
“Although Torrie was a little early, which is usually a good thing, but in this case i probably timed the visit incorrectly and should have had her come later.. She took my dog for a quick walk (which is all he would do) and then stayed and petted him for the remainder of her time. Also sent a photo. I would use Torrie again.”
About: I always seem to be the first call from friends or family to check on the pets. Expert house sitter at this point. Love to play and take care of animals I work from home M-T 7:00am to 4:30PM and Friday 8:00 AM to 12:00PM. So pretty flexible and could also work from any place if house sitting. I live in a first floor apartment with l Lots of walking paths and other dogs. I have one cat who is use to being around other animals
About: **I am pet CPR trained please read below** I had my cat for about 9yrs before she passed away, and I have 2 dogs currently. I also volunteer at AAWL from time to time and am looking to go back to college so I can become a veterinarian. I currently work at a pet resort/dog daycare during the day. I am also Pet CPR Certified through the Frontline Coalition/Pet Tech CPR&First aid training as of 5/31/26 **see photo of certificate** **Update, I work at a pet resort now & my schedule is subject to my work schedule which is not always the same. Please submit your request or send me a message so I can ensure I am available for you. I typically work 12-7 most days & 9-4 on Sundays. My idea of caring for pets is to show them unconditional love, petting them and walking them, and making sure the food bowl/water bowl is always full, and making sure the pet is happy, listened to, feels safe and loved and attended to.
“Desiree is fantastic and very highly recommended! She took such good care of my cat, maybe better than I take care of him, and he's my baby!! She went above and beyond to make sure he took his medicine twice a day, even when he didn't want to eat as much because I was out of town. I felt so assured that he was in good care while I was gone. It really helped me to enjoy my time away, knowing Desiree was looking after him. My only regret is that I am moving out of state and won't get the chance to book Desiree again! Thank you so so much, Desiree!!!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Tempe
We are very happy with our decision to hire Jadon! Trusting someone to both have access to our house and care for our cats for an extended time is not something that comes easily for us, but after a quick meet and greet, we immediately felt comfortable and confident in our choice. Jaden was friendly and polite, took great care of the kitties, reliably showed up each time, sent photos and a message after each visit, quickly asked questions when something seemed off, and did exactly as asked. We were able to worry much less being away for a few weeks. We will hire him again and definitely recommend. Jaden may not have as many reviews yet as others on the site, but this is by far the best pet sitting experience we have had.
Alyssa took notes on everything our cat would need while we were gone, and she gave us a thorough report about how things were going after every single visit. 100% dependable. She even went above and beyond and scooped every day, even though we said she didn't have to. This is my first time using Rover or having any stranger take care of my pet, so I was really anxious about leaving him. Alyssa let us enjoy our vacation by taking such good care of him. If we ever go out of town again, I hope she's still available! An A+ recommendation
Adrienne is such a caring pet lover and goes above and beyond in her daily report cards. She gives me all of the details of what my baby girl was up to. She talks to her and reads to her. She cares for her as much as I do and feel very at ease leaving her home knowing Adrienne is caring for her. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a trusting, knowledgeable and caring pet sitter and overall amazing person.
Sara is AMAZING. She is always on time and our cats know and love her. They actually come out and see her when she drops in (two of them are pretty shy with anyone else). We get the sweetest updates with each visit. 100/10 recommend Sara! Knowing how well our kitties are cared for truly provides peace of mind when we travel. Thank you, Sara!
Alma was absolutely amazing. I contacted her on short notice after my cat needed emergency surgery just before I was going out of town. Luckily she was available because she was nothing short of amazing! She took such great care of my kitties and went the extra mile to ease my thoughts! Highly recommend!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Tempe is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $28 per visit. 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 981 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Tempe. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 92% 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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
