“Veronika is the best! Very responsive, & always sends me Rover cards, photos & updates while I'm away! I know my Stache is in good hands with Veronika, & can highly recommend! ☺️”
“I was lucky to find James on Rover. He accepted my last minute urgent situation and kindly provided excellent sitting and care for my little Papillon. Extended his time and services to get dog food and treats while I was gone all week. He is someone to trust and I recommend him !!! Denise P.”
“Jadon did an amazing job caring for my two cats while I was away. He consistently sent photos and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind and made me feel like I could truly trust him with my pets and my home. What stood out the most was seeing how comfortable my cats were with him in the pictures. They're usually selective about people, and it was obvious that they trusted him and felt safe in his care. I would absolutely recommend Jadon to anyone. He’s truly reliable, thoughtful, and trustworthy.”
“This was my second time having Alyssa do drop ins for my cat and once again, she did such a great job!! I feel like Willow my cat is in such good hands while I’m gonna and always appreciate the updates and photos Alyssa sends. Will absolutely be booking with her again in the future and will highly recommend to anyone and everyone!”
“This was the longest I left my bunny, and Estefany made me felt so at ease as a return sitter. She is excellent at communicating and was so kind with lots of travel changes I had along the way. I cannot recommend her enough!”
“Took great care of our pets and followed all the instructions we had left for both the animals and the house while we were gone. Great communication and sent lots of pictures and updates. Left the house exactly as we left it!”
“Lillian was so wonderful and kind with both of our cats! We loved all of the pictures she sent us and the detailed recap of her time with them. Will definitely be rebooking again!”
“I will definitely be rebooking with Junjie again, my kitten Teddy absolutely loved her and was well taken care of! She provided very thorough notes and details of each visit and was amazing with him. She made sure he was comfortable and well taken care of and I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter!”
About: I’ve been around and caring for pets for as long as I can remember. I have 6 years of experience taking care of dogs and cats for family, friends, and neighbors. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, check-ins, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m responsible, patient, and treat every pet like they’re my own! I’m currently a full-time college student, so my schedule is mostly based around my classes. I have plenty of free time outside of class and am available for pet sitting, walks, and check-ins throughout the week and on weekends. I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re with me. I have experience caring for pets and will follow your routine, instructions, and any special needs closely. I also have cats of my own that I absolutely love!
“Kristen was amazing! Kristen was really prompt with responding to the request, able to do a meet-and-greet quickly, and was so responsive while I was out of town. She was so good with my cat, Hailey. Hailey is normally really nervous around new people, but she warmed up to Kristen and I got many pictures of Hailey rolling around just being herself. I absolutely recommend using Kristen as a sitter and plan on booking with her again.”
“Adrienne was amazing and made leaving my fur baby that much easier. She made sure he was comfortable and got the enrichment he needed. Will definitely be looking to reach and book again in the future.”
“I’m extremely grateful for aleksandras help! she sent lots of photos and videos which I really enjoyed. she went out of her way to make my extremely shy cat feel very comfortable and safe! I will definitely be a repeat client! 10/10 would recommend :)”
“Such an awesome sitter! Tabbitha sent me updates with pictures through out the days i was away and I was able to feel at peace knowing my kitten was being very well taken care of and even having a great time!!”
“Bridget was fantastic with Puck over almost two weeks. He is not an easy cat — he actually got her badly enough that she had to go treat it — and she came right back the next day with a plan and kept going without ever making it my problem. She caught that his water fountain wasn't working, put out backup bowls, fixed the camera, and sent updates and videos the whole time. Genuinely above and beyond. Would book again without hesitating.”
About: Hi! I'm Mckenna, a junior at Arizona State University studying Sports Business. When I'm not in class, playing on ASU's club soccer team, or working at Grass Clippings Rolling Hills, I love spending time outside—and I think every walk is better with a dog by your side! I've grown up with dogs my entire life, so caring for them has always come naturally to me. I taught my childhood dog several tricks and would take him on daily walks whenever I was home. Over the years, I've also cared for many friends' and family's dogs and cats, giving me experience with pets of different personalities and energy levels. Whether your dog loves long walks, quick potty breaks, a leisurely stroll, or an outdoor adventure, I'm happy to match their pace and routine. I know every pet is different, so I'll always follow your instructions carefully to make sure your dog feels comfortable, safe, and cared for. I'm also comfortable administering medication if needed. I currently offer dog walking and occasional pet sitting. While I don't have much experience with senior dogs yet, I'm more than happy to care for them and will carefully follow any instructions to make sure they get the attention and support they need. As a busy college student, I enjoy having something active and rewarding to break up my routine, and spending time with animals is the perfect way to do that. I'll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention during our time together, and you can always expect photo updates so you know they're having a great time! I can't wait to meet you and your furry best friend! As a junior at Arizona State University, I have a flexible schedule that allows me plenty of time to care for pets. I only have classes Monday through Wednesday, work two to three evening a week at Grass Clippings Rolling Hills, and practice with ASU's club soccer team a few times a week. This leaves me with lots of availability for dog walks, drop-in visits, and occasional pet sitting. I enjoy getting outside and staying active, so spending time with pets fits perfectly into my weekly routine. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I understand that every pet has their own routine, so I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and any special needs. When caring for pets in your home, I'll treat both your pet and your home with respect, making sure everything is secure before I leave. I'll also send regular photo updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and receiving the attention and care they deserve.
“Valerie did a great job watching my cat Georgie! She is very organized and responsible, which really gave me piece of mind before leaving for vacation. During her drop-in visits, she did exactly what we agreed to (play with the cat, make sure he was ok, feed him, get him outside when possible..). She also sent many pictures of him and a short summary of her visits, each day. When I came back I could tell my cat was very well taken care of. He was as happy and playful as always. Big thanks to Valerie! I highly recommend her!”
“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!”

Audrey is the best pet sitter we have ever had! She clearly has a love for animals and treated our cat with so much care and compassion -not just feeding but spending quality time playing and hanging out with him. She is very thorough and leaves detailed notes and plenty of pics which I really appreciate! She is great at communicating and had no issue checking on other things around the house and bringing in packages etc…We would definitely trust Audrey to watch our pets any time and look forward to booking her again. Would give 6 stars if I could!
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!
Alyssa was amazing! She stopped in daily to check on my cat, Bexxy, and did a great job keeping me updated. She was very thorough with her updates and made sure to ask plenty of questions about Bexxy’s care and instructions so everything was done correctly. I really appreciated her attention to detail and felt confident Bexxy was in great hands. I will definitely be using Alyssa again and highly recommend her! ❤
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 for Cat Sitting in Tempe on Rover is $20.33 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 3,450 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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Tempe. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
