“Rachael and Tim were amazing with our Corgi. From the moment we had our first visit with them, we knew it would be a good fit. Rachael did a fantastic job of keeping us updated throughout our dog’s stay with her. She is one of the best I’ve seen and always communicates. We will def use them again!”
“Brooke and her family are awesome. Always greeted with a smile. They also helped in giving him his ear meds. So glad I found a reliable sitter for Bruce.”
“Our pups had a great stay with Tracy! She was a fantastic sitter —communicative and our dogs had a great time. It was so relieving knowing that the dogs were in great hands!”
“Susan and Peter were absolutely wonderful with our pups, Sue and Tully! They took such great care of our dogs and kept us completely at ease by sending tons of picture and video updates every single day. It was so thoughtful and deeply appreciated. We couldn't have asked for better sitters and highly recommend them to anyone looking for attentive, loving care!”
“Kelly is warm and genuine in her love for dogs! I was confident my dog would be safe, relaxed, and well-cared for in Kelly’s home. I picked up a happy dog and am pleased! Thank you Kelly for a terrific 1st boarding.”
“She has been such a good pet sitter, always attentive and constantly updating us on Elliott and sending us photos. We feel very pleased with her service and 100% recommend her :)”
“Great staycation for our little man while we were out of town & the daily pics & updates made our trip a great one too!!! The 3 of us are staunch fans of Adriana & Kayla 💗. Thx always for your loving care.”
“Huaqing is the best! Our Porsche loves spending time with her and she always comes back to us , so happy. I always know I’m leaving my little Porsche in great care. I highly recommend Huaqing.”
“Jackie is wonderful. She took care of my 4 little Yorkies (Biewers) for 3 days. Two of them are 12 years old and two of them are 2 years old. They are my babies and I haven't trusted anyone to provide the environment and level of care I expect. As a result, I haven't ever left them with anyone before. But she took such good care of them... many potty breaks, feeding twice a day, a big cozy couch to lay on, playtime, and she kept them safe from Arizona predators (owls, coyotes, snakes, etc). She sent updates with pictures each day so I knew how they were doing. That really put my mind at ease. She did a fantastic job and I highly recommend her!!!”
“Edgar was so kind and patient with my shy, picky cat! She was calm and comfortable with him, which really meant a lot to me. He sent me regular updates, and I could tell she was happy and well cared for. He returned my kitty to me healthy and happy. I highly recommend Edgar as a cat sitter! ❤️”
“I left Whiskey for the first time with a dog-sitter and I could not have been happier with our experience with Kim. She was so kind with my boy, sent me the best updates and pictures, and made sure he was comfortable the entire time. She watched out for his eating and played all his favorite games with him. If you’re looking for a dog sitter, look no further, you’ve found the best there is. I will be reaching out to Kim any time I need to leave Whiskey in the future!”
“Jerron had incredible communication and responded very quickly. He agreed to watch our dog on short notice and kept us in the loop during his stay. Our dog is very energetic which he didn’t mind and took him on several mile walks.”
“Absolutely amazing experience! My dog was happy, comfortable, and clearly well cared for during the stay. I received frequent updates, photos, and thoughtful communication throughout the booking. I truly appreciated the care and attention given to my dog and would not hesitate to book again. Highly recommend!!!!!!”
“Sara is the best sitter! I've had Mack stay with her several times now and she's always my first stop when looking to see who's available. She and her family are very warm and welcoming and do a great job with my pup.”
“Kristine watched Kona for a weekend and she was great. Kona was super happy and relaxed there. She sent pictures and videos of Kona while we were away. We will definitely be bringing our dogs to her again.”
“Catherine was great. She gave extra attention to my pup, had excellent communication, and the walks were a bonus too. Look forward to Catherine boarding my dog again!”
“We had Mike watch Izzy for 8 days and everything was great. After making the reservation, we took our dog to meet Mike and to see where our dog would be staying. Their home is set up very well for the pets safety and their comfort. They were very easy to communicate with and were always very responsive by text. They provided contact daily with a brief update and a photo which was very comforting to us. We have already booked another stay for two weeks and know that Izzy will be very well cared for. We highly recommend Mike and his wife to care for your pet.”
“Kaitlyn and Cody have taken care of my dog many times now, and I always check if they're available first. My energetic dog loves their two playful dogs, Moose and Lobo. Kaitlyn always sends updates about my dog and photos and funny videos of the dogs playing in their yard each day while I'm away, which I appreciate. They are very nice people. They went above and beyond last time by accommodating another night stay when my flight home was delayed. Thank you so much for taking care of Walter!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Tempe
Ashley took our rover request the day of and was very easy to meet and communicate with! She also sent plenty of pictures and updates of our dog throughout the day. We could tell that our dog had a great time during his stay with her. We will definitely be using her again and would recommend her to anyone!
Savannah did an excellent job watching our dog while we were gone for 2 weeks. We were able to book her very last minute when our original sitter canceled on us unexpectedly. We're very happy with her and would highly recommend her... She kept in good communication with us, sending pictures and updates frequently. We will definitely book with her again!
Madison is incredible. She is so attentive to sweet Cooper & was in frequent communication with us. My daughter was anxious to leave her boy with anyone ... but Madison absolutely won her over with her attention to detail. We are thankful for her & look forward to using having Cooper visit next time!
Rachael is amazing! This was my first time using Rover and won’t be the last time. Rachael is very organized and cared for our Maggie girl like she was her own. Everyday she updated us with a video and promptly replied to any messages or concerns we had. Absolutely will be using Rachael’s services in the future. Maggie loved her!
Susan and Jim went above and beyond taking care of our baby. She had an absolute blast and didn't want to leave. Susan sent us lots of pictures and updates. Her communication was excellent and we had peace of mind during our entire trip. We can tell our Duchess was very well loved and taken care of. We will definitely be rebooking with Susan and would recommend the same to anyone else looking for a dog sitter who goes above and beyond. Thank you Susan and Jim!
Elena was amazing with both Mags and Lady. I was worried about leaving them with another dog as Mags can be a little reactive but everything went so smoothly and communication was top notch. Thank you for watching our babies and for anyone on the fence: book Elena and Meeka if you want a trustworthy and friendly person with an amazing dog who will be a fantastic playmate to your dogs.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Tempe is $41 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $61 per night. 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 October 2026, there are 3,412 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Tempe. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Tempe can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Tempe home-away-from-home, 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 Tempe.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Tempe 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 , 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 .
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.
