I do not hesitate to recommend Christian and Hanna to take care of your dog.”
“Alex is wonderful!! I am usually the ‘pet sitter’ and hadn’t yet used Rover to care for my 14yo senior girl. We all had a meet & greet and my concerns were immediately put to rest.

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.
Ashley was exceptional to work with and showed genuine care for our boy while we were away. She kept in touch every day with photos and updates, and anytime she had a question, she reached out to make sure he stayed as comfortable and well‑cared‑for as possible. When our flight home was delayed over an hour, she remained patient, understanding, and communicative throughout the return. We would recommend her to anyone needing reliable pet care—she truly gives you peace of mind while you’re gone. I would absolutely book with her again, and I hope her schedule is open next time we need her.
Susan and Peter were absolutely wonderful with our Golden Retriever, Elliott. From the moment we dropped him off, we felt confident that he was in caring and capable hands. Throughout his stay, they regularly sent us photos and updates, which gave us great peace of mind. The pictures clearly showed how comfortable, happy, and well cared for Elliott was. It was obvious that they genuinely love animals and treat them like members of their own family. We truly appreciated their excellent communication, attention to detail, and the genuine care they showed Elliott. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Susan and Peter again, and we highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy and compassionate pet sitters.
Rachael is a superstar and a true professional. Her place is set up perfectly for pups. They get a lot of attention and easy access to the outside. Larry had a bonus and made some friends while he was there…I was gone for a week and received a happy video every day. Highly recommended Rachael
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!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Tempe on Rover is $40 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 3,407 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.
95% 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.
