“Christina is very responsive and helped put my mind at ease when leaving my pup for the first time. My dog loves Christina and her family and has so much fun while he's there. He has so much fun playing and is always worn out when I pick him up! 🐶”
“It was my 1st time using Rover and was a bit anxious, but everything went well! I came back to a happy puppy. Highly recommended. Even though I was busy, Kameron still updated me with pics and I can just tell my puppy was enjoying her stay.”
“Jemaury took real good care of my dog George. I sent him in and warned her that he was dirty because we'd been camping for a coupe of weeks. She offered to take him to the groomer and I came back from my trip to a squeaky clean dog. She's a very good communicator / quick to respond, and she would send me a few pics every time she took him for a walk or he did something cute. Highly recommend.”
“Adriana is the best!!! She takes amazing care of my 2 pups. She sends daily updates, photos, and videos, and she makes sure they are completely loved. My pups have a great time at her home, and they’re always well fed and get good exercise and rest. We’re repeat clients, and I’m able to leave town with no worries. Adriana is amazing!!!”
“Absolutely a Wonderful Caring Young Lady! She did Marvelous with our baby girl Mollie! I thank her from bottom of my heart! Thank you so very much sweetie!!! God Bless Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!”
“Melanie is a great host. She’s so responsible and trustworthy. Also I really appreciate her taking care of the little extras while caring for my pup George like applying medicine, brushing his teeth and coaxing him to eat. I’m so happy we found Melanie and her sweet family.”
“Thorough, responsible, incredibly friendly, very communicative, and constant updates on your pup...what more could you want in a sitter? 11/10, will sit with again.”
“I was so nervous about leaving my puppy with anyone but Rachael was awesome. She went above and beyond and her place is perfectly designed for dogs! I don’t ever want to bring my dog anywhere else.”
“Kim was awesome with my Elly. She made sure Elly was comfortable at drop off and had everything she needed. Kim gave me frequent updates and photos which I really appreciated. Kim will be our first choice the next time I need a sitter!”
“Pamela provided great service and was very helpful and patient with me as this was my first Rover experience. Aziz didn’t say much but we oth walked away satisfied. +++AAA”
“Dean took excellent care of my German shepherd while I was out of town. She got along so well with deans dog and he sent me lots of videos of them playing with each other. She had lots of fun and got lots of attention. Definitely would recommend to anyone looking for a sitter!”
“Our first time using a pet sitter for our 18 month old female GSD and the experience could not have been better, for us or our pup! Right from the meet and greet, Christian and Hana calmed any worries we had and left us with great confidence that our pup would be taken care of. Hana provided updates with photos throughout her stay, and we were able to enjoy ourselves knowing she was in great hands. We will definitely be using Christian and Hana again and are very grateful to have found them!”
“Kiara and her family were great with Jack. He was a bit unsettled because he isn’t used to being around cats. They were patient with him and did what they could to help him get socialized with their kitties. Overall communication was easy. I would feel good about leaving Jack with them again.”
“Alani and her family took great care of my dogs. My oldest dog is blind and has diabetes. He needs insulin every 12 hours; nonetheless, Alani handled him very well. Both of my dogs typically come home after being boarded at a dog hotel with some weight loss, but with Alani that was NOT the case. 10/10 dog sitter.”
“Ash is amazing. She sends photos and updates everyday. Her mom helps and she had Popi sleep with her every night. Popi came home exhausted having played with other dogs every day”
“Paola is amazing! I have an anxious dog and a senior dog and Paola was great with them by providing them lots of love and affection. I’ll be bringing my dogs back to Paola next week for a longer stay. It’s so comforting to know your pups are being taken care so well! Her communication was awesome too! I’m so glad I found her!”
“Trish was absolutely perfect for me and my senior dog - a quiet, clean, and loving home. Loved all the pics! Thankful for everything and blessed to have found her for a last minute overnight stay. Lucy was loved. I’m actually hoping I need a sitter again. 😁 I know who to call now!”
“Where do I start? I'll just start like this, Mrs Laree was the greatest. She helped with my concerns fir My Daisy as this was the longest we had been away from her. Her daily updates, and photos were very nice as well.”

I’m so happy I found Rachae! 🤍 Ace had such a good time, made some new friends, and most importantly I felt like he was safe and in good hands. Racheal was so sweet and accommodating, especially when traffic changed our timing a bit. I’d happily leave Ace with her again! 🐾
We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our girls! She was so attentive, patient, and caring with both our young, energetic pup and our sweet senior girl. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were both being loved and cared for while we were away. We’re so grateful and would absolutely trust her with them again!
We truly appreciate the wonderful care Madison gave our Bruno. This was our first time ever using a sitter for him and our first time using the app, so naturally we were a little nervous. From the moment we submitted our request, Madison responded promptly, helped us navigate the process, and made us feel comfortable and reassured. When we arrived to drop Bruno off, Madison was an excellent host. Bruno was comfortable in her arms even while I was still there, which is very unusual for him and immediately made me feel at ease. She listened carefully to all of Bruno’s special needs. He is an elderly little dog who is deaf, partially blind, and diabetic, so leaving him with someone requires a lot of trust and extra attention. Madison made us feel that he was in caring hands. We especially loved receiving a text and picture of Bruno while we were away. It was wonderful to see him comfortable and being well cared for, and it allowed us to enjoy our evening without worrying about him. Thank you, Madison, for giving Bruno so much TLC and for making our first sitter experience such a positive one. ❤️🐾 We will definitely use Madison again and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for someone caring and attentive to watch their pet!
I have an 8 pound Havanese dog named Princess and Ashley was absolutely amazing with her. I had a super last minute trip and Ashley responded quickly giving me all the details that I would need. Princess absolutely loved her dog Snoopy and was excited to see me when I got back from my trip, but she was whining when we were leaving the parking lot. 10 out of 5 stars from me definitely found my new Dog Sitter!!!”
Really sweet family and just overall perfect experience for both me and my pup. Before boarding: Alani and her families invited us to do meet-and-greet, asked questions about my dog’s usual routines, sent information about other two dogs mine will be staying with ahead of time. During the stay: Alani sent photos and updates daily. Informed me if anything was unusual. They took her to a dog park when the weather got cooler. Pick-up: They were very accommodating while my flight schedules changed. Alani gave me an update on how my dog stay went, anything she noticed, etc. My dog seemed well-played and happy. I felt like they understood how stressful and nervous it can be to part with a pup for extended period, and did everything to help. Alani and her family will always be my first choice to sit my pup going forward. Thank you.
Brandy was very communicative throughout our dog’s stay and kept us updated with photos and messages, which gave us great peace of mind. We could tell our pup had so much fun, was well cared for, and received lots of love and attention. We would definitely trust Brandy to watch our 🐶 again
This was Maverick’s first visit with Pamela and he did well. She was so kind and flexible when I needed to add a couple days to his stay. Maverick is older so the fit is very important to me. Pamela was patient with him until he calmed down which I really appreciate. Would definitely recommend and use her again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Tempe on Rover is $39.96 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding 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 Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 3,462 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 rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
96% of Tempe sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Tempe landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Tempe home-away-from-home, we recommend 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.
Tip: 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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.
