“Brooke was great. Was very accommodating to a few last minute things that came up which was beyond helpful. Her place was nice and clean with a big backyard for Casper to run around. Very nice and professional.”
“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!”
“They were so great taking care of Mars for the month I was away. I could tell Mars was happy. I appreciated the text and video updates too! I would definitely book them to take care of Mars again in the future.”
“I can’t recommend Kelly and family enough! They did such a fantastic job of providing nurturing and safe energy to my pups. They genuinely care about animals and your babies will be loved…not just boarded!”
“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!”
“Julia gracisously accommodated my last minute request. I have three “littles” and sometimes it is difficult to find someone to watch all three together. Her home is super dog friendly. My fur babies were allowed on the furniture and were able to sleep in bed with her. They seemed happy and not as anxious about my absence when I returned which tells me they were treated well and felt at home in her care. I will definitely be using her again!”
“Thida took care of my dog Maggie while we were away out of state. I needed a sitter last minute and Thida jumped right in, and was extremely flexible and understanding. Maggie got sick the day before staying with Thida and was placed on a couple meds. Thida did an amazing job giving Maggie her medications, and even brought her to the beach! She gave us many updates and pictures which we loved! I was so relieved to know my Maggie was in great hands. Would highly recommend Thida to anyone who wants an attentive and caring sitter. Will definitely use her services again :)”
“This was my first time using a sitter for my dog and the first time leaving him for more than work. Savannah was great and kept me updated throughout the week and sent me lots of pictures so I knew he was getting loved on! We will definitely rebook in the future!”
“Christian and Hana were very communicative throughout the whole process. Had a flight delay and they were able to accommodate and extend the stay for another night. Took great care of Moe and allowed me to travel worry free, would highly recommend.”
“Rebekah and William did a fantastic job watching Mango for an overnight stay! They sent tons of photos and our family felt at ease her entire time with them. Mango was walked, well loved, and came back healthy/happy. We will definitely be rebooking them again and can’t recommend them enough!”
About: Hello! I go by Mariah or Eclipse and I'm a lifelong animal lover with over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for pets of most breeds, sizes, and ages. From high-energy to senior dogs & cats, I know how to make every animal feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their humans are away. I treat every pet I care for like my own because I know how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your fur babies. What you can expect from me is: • Personalized attention and updates (photos & messages every visit!) • Reliable, responsible care and clear communication • Experience with medication administration, leash training, and special needs pets • A calm, loving presence that helps animals feel right at home Whether you need a safe place for your pet to be during the workday, overnight care, walks, or just someone to drop by and give your pet some love, I’m here to provide! I look forward to hearing from you!! I’m a parent to a senior pug with disabilities, he requires meds & love and sure doesn’t like me being away from home so I keep my work days to a minimum. I am independent hairstylist (I make my own schedule and don’t commit to more than 5 hours in a day or 3 days a week in salon). I can provide a large soft crate if your fur baby needs it; I can adapt easily to your home to care for them however they need!
“Dean was amazing! He took our dog last second when we were in a bind and took great care of our dog. He sent picture/video updates and walked our dog daily. I highly recommend him as he will take care of your dog like it’s his own.”
“Matty had a great time and came back a happy camper! Jesse and his wife were great, they were patient with Matty even though he is a very energetic puppy. They played with him, met his needs and gave him all of the cuddles. I appreciated very much the updates and the photos. Would definitely recommend and would definitely rebook :)”
“I love Keith and Larry and I know Goose does too. They always treat him like their own, and he has come to make himself right at home whenever he stays with them. It always makes it easier to enjoy travel when I know he’s in good hands.”
“Ana Paula and her husband and their sweet puppy Tiger were absolutely incredible. I was nervous because I had never done a site like this before and one of our puppies gets a little scared around other dogs. But they were so gentle and amazing in both of my dogs felt comfortable the whole time. She sent pictures and videos, and I couldn’t be more grateful!”
“Celeste was able to accommodate my travel schedule and make things very easy. It was the first time I have had my dog stay at someone else's home and everything went well!”
“Elena took amazing care of Teddy, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She was kind, professional, and treated him like her own dog from the moment I dropped him off. She kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind, and when I picked him up, Teddy was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It’s obvious that she truly loves animals and goes above and beyond to make them feel comfortable and safe. I highly recommend Elena to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable pet sitter, and I will definitely be booking with her again!”

Love Julia! And so does Coco ♥️ We did a meet and greet the day before, and when I came back the following day to drop her off, Coco was making all sorts of ridiculous sounds in her excitement once she realized where she was! I got photo updates and it worked out great for the weekend because Julia stayed with her the whole time (basically all Coco wants) and I felt super safe leaving Coco with Julia =) We'll definitely use her again in the future for weekends!
Todd and his wife were great with Susy! She stayed at their house for 3 nights and had a great time, especially getting to socialize and play with their dog, Sydney. They sent lots of pictures and kept us updated throughout her stay, which we really appreciated. We felt comfortable knowing Susy was in good hands. Highly recommend them and we would definitely book with them again!
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!
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!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Tempe is $39 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $56 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 November 2026, there are 3,431 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Tempe. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Tempe. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
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.
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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
