“I can't recommend her enough! She took such great care of my dog, Peanut, while I was away for the weekend, and I had complete peace of mind the entire time. She kept me updated with pictures and messages, and it was obvious how much she genuinely cared. Peanut came home happy, relaxed, and so well cared for. It's not easy trusting someone with your dog, but she made the whole experience stress-free. I will absolutely be booking with her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy dog sitter!🫶”
“Thank you, Estefany! Estefany is a great communicator and did really well checking in on my cat. She always provided great notes about how he was doing and really set my mind at ease while I was away.”
“Bella was a great help to us with some last minute bookings for our cat. She was always on time for each visit and took great care while we were away. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Veronika was a great sport about a somewhat irregular cat sitting gig of looking after a semi-stray cat I have been feeding for several months. She sounded honestly happy and pleased the one time she saw the cat in the yard. Very reliable and easy to work with.”
“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.”
“Theresa took great care of my two kitties while I was out of town for two weeks! The girls warmed up to her immediately which is saying something as my youngest is usually very sketchy around people she does not know! I got daily pictures and can see them Playing with Theresa which was wonderful! Though I missed them terribly, I did not worry about them under Theresa’s great care! Very Happy !!!”
“Alyssa is amazing! She has sat for my cat, Beanie, twice now and each time she takes wonderful care of her and provides the best updates. I feel very comfortable when I'm away knowing that Beanie is in trusted hands.”
About: I’ve grown up with animals my entire life and have always had multiple pets of my own, so caring for them has been a part of my everyday life for as long as I can remember. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I enjoy getting to know what makes each one feel comfortable and happy. I’m experienced with feeding, walking, playtime, cleaning up after pets, and administering medications when needed. I’m reliable, patient, and attentive to details, so you can trust that I’ll follow your pet’s routine exactly as requested. Whether your pet is young and energetic or older and needs extra care, I’ll treat them with the same love and attention I’d give my own. I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets, and I’ll make sure to provide plenty of updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I currently work part time so I have a lot of time to spend with your fur babies. Prefer staying at pets location (no boarding), or gas compensation. When caring for pets in your home, I do my best to keep their routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and secure. I’ll follow all of your instructions, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and any special care your pet needs. I always make sure pets have fresh water, plenty of attention, and a safe environment while you’re away. I respect your home as if it were my own, keeping everything clean and secure while making sure your pet receives lots of love and companionship. I’ll also send regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.
“Great help! She was quick to respond to my request to book, came over for a meet and greet, and left great notes about how the visits went. She even went above and beyond, by washing my dog’s bowls and taking out some trash I had put by my back door and forgotten to get to before I left the house. Would absolutely be happy to book again!”
“We have booked with Aleksandra several times and are always so comforted knowing our dog Weller is in her hands. Weller even got sick this time around and she was a HUGE help. 10/10 recommend her for your sitter needs :)”
About: I’ve had a dog growing up but he sadly passed away about a year ago. I miss him deeply and would love to spend more time with dogs. I understand how much pets mean to their owners and can guarantee that I will treat your pet with so much love and care as if he/she is my own. I am working Monday-Friday, 8am-5pm in Gilbert but would love to spend time with your pets after work and on the weekends. If needed, I can set aside additional time in the mornings for drop ins. I always keep a close eye on the pets, especially when outside, and ALWAYS take them out on a leash (with exceptions to fenced in yards). I follow strict schedules given by pet owners when pet sitting.
“Tabbitha took excellent care of my kitties and promptly sent me visit cards with photos each time, which I really appreciated. She is quick to respond to messages and I felt relieved to have someone so caring and conscientious looking after my kids while I was away.”
“Adrienne is amazing! She goes above and beyond for my dog. My dog is always excited to see her! Adrienne is very responsive and reliable; she communicates well and gives a lot of detail. I definitely recommend her!”
“Taylor was great! Our dogs can be a little tricky, but she did great with them! She was very punctual, provided lots of information after each visit, and made sure to keep us updated!”
About: I grew up with pets and farm animals. As an adult I’ve been lucky to have my own pets, volunteering experience with shelters, fostered some beautiful fur babies and pet sitting new friends. I have a deep love and care for animals, I’ve cared for dogs and cats as well as reptiles, amphibians, spiders, goats etc. Pets are family and I absolutely maintain that level of respect for them whether they are mine or someone else’s. I work about 8 hours a day on week days but I have a flexible schedule. I can leave work to take care of your pet during the work day. I will never accept a care schedule I cannot make happen. I can stay overnight at anytime. I do not have a home that can accommodate overnight care. However, I have plenty of experience with overnight care in someone else’s home. I am very attentive to details and can diligently follow instructions. I am respectful of your space and will give your pet all the love and attention that they want/need.

This was my third time having Alyssa do drop ins for my cat while I’ve been out of town and I can’t say enough great things! I’m so appreciative to have a sitter I can competely trust and know she’ll give my cat all the love, food, pets, and care while I’m away. I recommend Alyssa without hesitation and will definitely book again!!
This is my second time booking with Adrienne and she’s still so amazing :) Her report cards are so detailed and she sends so many photos which I absolutely love. She cares so much for Fiona May and not only makes sure she is safe and well fed but also properly stimulated and loved. As a helicopter bunny mom, I feel like I’ve won the lottery finding Adrienne. She is truly special.
Had a great experience having Junjie as a sitter for my two cats. I loved the pictures she sent and my home was in great condition with my cats happy and healthy when I got home. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a kind and responsive pet sitter.
Erin did an amazing job taking care of my two cats while I was away! They are usually skittish around new people (the last cat sitter i used didn’t see either of my cats over a week). Erin though had them both playing with her and coming out to greet her and sent lots of updates
Claudia was amazing watching our 9mo old kitten Pepper! Leaving her alone for the first time was intimidating but Claudia made it such a seamless experience. We got pictures every day and she kept us updated on eating habits and any concerns. Would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a top tier pet sitter! Thank you so much!
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.
Kyle was wonderful; not only did he make sure the kitties were ok when our AC went out unexpectedly during our trip (total nightmare if you own pets in AZ), he also somehow took such good care of our plants that they look better than before (??)! He was diligent and provided us with so many updates on the kittens, we really felt at ease from afar. Thank you so much! Highly recommend Kyle&Danielle!
Milla watched my cats for a long trip and she is great at communicating and was very professional. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter. She responded quickly when I had questions and my cats really liked her. She kept my space clean and tidy for when I came home as well. Thank you Milla!
Olivia is such a great person and so kind! She watched my cat for a little over a week, and she was absolutely amazing! She took great care of my cat and kept me updated while I was away! My cat was happy and well cared for when I got home. I would definitely recommend Olivia to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!
Veronika was so great with my rabbit! She was always on time and sent me her report card and photos. It was so wonderful to find someone who was willing to care for a rabbit. I really appreciated being able to feel so comfortable going away knowing she was caring for Fiona May
⭐️⭐️ROYAL ROVER STATUS⭐️⭐️ The Princesses Penny and Poppy would like it formally entered into the royal record that Anthony was an absolute treasure. When I had to leave on a last-minute work trip, Anthony came to attend to them whisker and paw **three whole times in less than 24 hours! As my little sister said **. He was reliable, kind, communicative, and incredibly attentive to their needs. Most impressively, Anthony accomplished what is not easily achieved with my rescue kittens: he got the girls to willingly come to him and even received physical affection. Photographic proof exists, so this was not a rumor, bribery, or wishful thinking. That level of trust says everything. He respected their personalities, made sure they were safe and cared for, and gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Knowing they were in such good hands made a stressful last-minute trip feel so much easier. Princess’s Poppy and Penny would like it known that Sir Anthony has officially earned the Princesses’ approval and has been promoted to trusted royal caretaker. We will absolutely book him again.
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.
Estefany is amazing with my cat Wymack and even more amazing with communication and last minute accommodation! She went above and beyond watching my baby and fit in pet sitting him super last minute! I recommend her to anyone that needs some peace of mind when they are out of town!
Marie was such a pleasure to work with! She came over for a meet and greet and took detailed notes on our kitty’s routine. I felt comfortable right away based on the thoroughness of her questions. We received detailed reports after each drop-in and the sweetest photos. It looks like they had a great time together! Would highly recommend

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Tempe on Rover is $21.09 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 3,362 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:
- 93% 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.
