“1st time using Rover, could not have been happier! Brooke and her family are awesome. Thank you for the pics and flexibility. Appreciate the ease and kindness!”
“Kelly took exceptional care of my baby; her home was clean and comfortable, the people were friendly and very clearly experienced pet sitters. I got pictures and video updates regularly which were very appreciated. The girls seemed to be very gentle with my dog.”
“Our experience woth Pamela was amazing! We were beyond nervous leaving our Barkley but she made the process easy. We did a pre meet up and when I went to drop him off on he actual weekend, he ran right up to the door excited. I got frequent updates on how he was doing and pick was flexible after a flight delay! Our dog is not food motivated and she would add a couple drops of broth to his bowl to make sure he got some food. I appreciate the extra attention to his care! We will def use Pamela again for future sitting.”
“Marina is the best! She helped us out when plans changed last minute and took care of my dogs as though her own. She sent videos and provided updates the whole time.”
“I’ve had amazing experience with Huaqing. My cat is very shy and scared of people. Huaqing took great care and was accommodating to all my requests! She provided daily updates with pictures even when my cat gave hard time while taking them. I felt quite reassured on my trip knowing my cat is at safe place. She sent my cat off home with extra treats and toys and a handwritten card. It’s a 10/10 experience and I would love to board my cat with Huaqing again. Thank you for being an awesome sitter!”
“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! 🐶”
“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.”
“This was my first time using rover and it was a last minute trip, so I was really in a pickle and luckily found Jackie. My little Georgie is a bit of a nervous nellie and I was worried about his separation anxiety. Jackie sent me pictures while I was away, and I could tell George he was having the best time. I would definitely recommend using Jackie and I will be using her again myself in the future!”
“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! ❤️”
“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.”
“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.”
“This was our first time using rover so we were pretty nervous about leaving our fur babies with someone for a couple days but we are glad we did! Susan and Peter are so nice and took such great care of our dogs, and they updated us with photos and videos of our dogs! While we were on a vacation so were they. By the photos and picking them up you most definitely could tell the dogs had a good time which made me feel comfortable knowing that they were in good hands while we were away. We definitely will be booking again! Thank you so much Susan and Peter we appreciate you guys for taking such good care of our babies.”
“Alani was great with Nic! She contacted me everyday, and was very patient and understanding of me working with a new sitter. Her house is adorable, and so is her dog jack! They became fast friends which is saying a lot since my dog doesn’t get along with a lot of dogs! Will definitely use her 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!”
“Rachael was INCREDIBLE with our lab. He had the best vacation ever while we were on our vacation! We are so grateful that they had a great time and treated our pup so well.”
“Here’s a polished review for Kelly: Kelly was an amazing dog sitter! She was reliable, kept me updated throughout the day, and showed so much kindness and playfulness with my puppy, Reign. It was clear she genuinely cared and made sure Reign was happy and comfortable. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
“Teresa is so amazing! She’s sat my dog many times now and each experience has been perfect. She really treats my dog like her own and makes her feel so comfortable when i’m gone. I would definitely recommend her to anyone!”

Great service! Fast responses to texts, flexible, and helpful! She was so kind to my dog and made me feel safe leaving her with someone new (it was my first time boarding my dog!) She has big house and yard for the dogs to play in. She sent photos often which I appreciated. I would recommend her to anyone!
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.

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.
