“Our dogs always love staying at Brooke’s home. Very thankful to have a place we can trust they will be well taken care of when we travel out of country.”
“We couldn’t be happier with Eric‘s dog sitting service! He cared for our puppy, Izzy for 16 days and truly went above and beyond. From daily walks to giving her medicine and making sure she felt safe and comfortable at home, he treated her as if she were his own. Eric‘s home is spotless, welcoming, and perfectly suited for dogs. Izzy was pampered the whole time, and we loved receiving the constant stream of photos and videos that kept us connected while we were away. This with a surprise was the custom-made poop bag pouch with a cutout of Izzy - such a thoughtful gift! We felt completely at ease knowing Izzy was in his care and will absolutely turn to Eric again whenever we need help. Highly recommended!”
“Pamela was wonderful. She took such great care of Montana and kept me updated with daily texts and pictures. We've already booked her services again!”
“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.”
“Christi was amazing to work with. It’s clear she loves dogs and wants to make sure your pup has a good experience. She took wonderful care of my dog and went above and beyond when we thought Willow might have a UTI. My dog came home happy and tired. :) I will absolutely use her again!”
“Our pup had a great stay with Kelly. She genuinely seems happy to have dogs stay at her house and sent us lots of updates and photos. We will definitely use Kelly again!”
“Cindy is a great sitter and really understands our fuball’s routines. Gus has IVDD, needs eye drops 3x per day and lots of love and attention - Cindy helps in all these areas!”
“Darbi and Nathanael took excellent care of our three pups. They offered a meet and greet ahead of our first booking, which was wonderful. We felt reassured and worry free leaving our pups in their care traveling. They paid careful attention to each pup’s needs and shared updates of how it was going. When we picked up our pups, they seemed to have had a wonderful time and were very content. Thank you for your care! We appreciate it and will rebook.”
“Ashley was an excellent sitter! It was my first time using her, and the meet and greet went well. My pup stayed with her for a week and she was very responsive, and communicated really well. I felt like she genuinely cared about my dog and he seemed well taken care of. Would highly recommend.”
“Rachael and her husband treated Zumi as their own! She had such a great time and was tuckered out when she got home. Their yard was a great hit with my pup. The communication was top notch. She will be back”
“Susan and Peter were amazing! Coco was so comfortable and well taken care of at their house. They provided frequent updates and photos, which we really appreciated. We are planning to have Coco visit Susan and Peter again in a few weeks. I would highly recommend them to any pet owner looking for a trusted sitter.”
“Huaqing was so caring and attentive to our chihuahua, Bunny. We got multiple pictures every day and daily check-ins. She also took Bunny on lots of walks. Would highly recommend Huaqing to anyone!”
“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.”
“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!!!!!!”
“Adriana is the absolute best. My pups love her so much they aren’t even excited to see me when I get back! Lol. She does a wonderful job of keeping me updated and loving on my babies. I even had a slight delay in my flight and she was so accommodating. I had nothing to worry about and could enjoy my vacation knowing my pups were in good hands.”
“Veronica was amazing. She took great care of our dog Birdie while we were out of town. She made us feel super comfortable and provided excellent care of our pup. She kept us updated everyday we were gone and even monitored our dogs eating habits as she gets a little anxious when we are away. She went above and beyond to make sure us and our dog were comfortable and we really appreciate her. We will definitely be using her again next time we go out of town.”
“Lana was perfect for my reactive border collie. Her place is quiet and Fizz got plenty of quality time inside and outside. Bonus that she let me park in the other side of her driveway so I could head directly to the airport after drop off then directly back, simplifying my travel plans greatly.”
“We have enjoyed working with Tracy M. We were able to enjoy our week vacation because we knew the girls were being taken well care of. Tracy kept us updated with pictures on how the girls (2 yorkies) were doing.”
“Teresa was great! She communicated well and sent us updates on our pups, which we love! Her home was clean and tons of space for our pups. We will absolutely be rebooking with Teresa in the future. :)”
“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!”

I am so grateful to Christal and her family for opening their home and taking such wonderful care of my two girls for 10 days. From the very beginning, Christal made me feel completely comfortable and reassured. She sent me daily pictures and updates, which meant so much to me and gave me peace of mind knowing they were happy, safe, and being well taken care of. Her entire family welcomed my girls and cared for them as if they were their own. It was clear that they were not just being watched, they were genuinely loved, spoiled, and treated like part of the family. Christal was also incredibly understanding and flexible when we had to pick them up later than our scheduled time because of unexpected luggage delays. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Knowing my girls were in such loving hands allowed me to enjoy my time away without worrying about them. I am beyond thankful to Christal and her family for loving and caring for my girls so well. I would absolutely trust them with my girls again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pets with the same love and care they would give their own. ❤️
Susan and Peter gave my pup Scout the best vacation while I was on vacation. They were so easy to communicate with. I loved seeing how happy Scout was in the pictures and videos the videos they sent I while I was away. They absolutely love having fur guests and we’ll definitely be using them again in the future.
We had a wonderful experience with Rachel and Tim! Communication was excellent from start to finish, and we really appreciated the frequent pictures and videos. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pup was happy, safe, and well cared for. We would definitely recommend them and will gladly use them again!

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
I was nervous about long-term boarding for my 2 dogs. Huaqing immediately put me at ease and treated my dogs like family. She communicated well, sending us updates with pictures while we were on our trip. She is so kind and was great with our dogs--she provided not only care for our dogs, but peace of mind for us while we were traveling. I highly recommend her services!
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.
We had the best experience with Lana! She treated our dog like her own and welcomed her with open arms. I loved the photos Lana sent of Leila sleeping on the couch and even enjoying some knitting! She looked so happy and relaxed, I felt great knowing she was having the best time. Our dog is a rescue and Lana took extra time & care to ensure she was comfortable. She has a wonderful fenced in backyard which we prefer for overnight stays. Lana is an amazing pet sitter & we look forward to using her again in the near future!
Abigayle was wonderful! Woody stayed with her for over three weeks, and she took great care of him. She kept us updated with frequent photos, communicated promptly through the app, and made the entire experience stress-free. She was also very accommodating when our schedule changed, which we really appreciated. We would definitely trust her with Woody again and highly recommend her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Tempe on Rover is $39.96 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 3,389 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.
