“She was wonderful!!! Not only did she handle my chaotic energy when I showed up (doesn’t happen often but that day was something else) she was also so attentive to my dog and love him like her own. She sent me updates and pictures and even dropped him off at my cousins for me, which I greatly appreciated! This was my 1st time leaving him alone with someone I have never met and I was honestly never stressed about what was going on or if he was being loved or taken care of well! She did absolutely amazing!! My dog has some quirks but they never seemed to bother her! Will definitely rebook next time I need a sitter and would 110% recommend her to anyone!”
“They were so great! Their whole family was so excited to watch my dog and it was great knowing they had young kids to play with Izzy. I’ve already booked them again and will continue to do so!!”
“Sergio and his family were great to work with and my dog loved staying with them. They were easy to communicate with and extremely accommodating when I needed to adjust times due to schedule changes. I’m so lucky to have found a great place for Scout to stay and look forward to using them again 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.”
“Traci was the most amazing sitter! My Franklin had a great time with her! I could tell as he was so worn out by the time he got home. Traci sent updates throughout the visit and I knew at all times Franklin was in good hands. On a personal Note, Tracy went above and beyond to be accommodating and supportive of me as I was going through a personal family situation. Beyond dog sitting I will forever be grateful for her being an amazing human and helping me during my most difficult time.”
“Got back from our 10 days trip . Eric was amazing with the updates here and there . Loved the little photos shoots. We were scared at first since this is the first time leaving our pup not with family and we are soo pleased! Highly recommend Eric !!!”
“Kelly was the perfect dog sitter for our Hank! We loved the photo and video updates. He was obviously well loved and treated like a part of the family. Kelly went above and beyond and we are so grateful!”
“Rachael was an absolute delight from the beginning. TRUSTWORTHY, FRIENDLY, THOUGHTFUL, HUMBLE, WITH A GOOD HEART I could sense she was truly excited to have a dog to love and care for. For us, she was BEYOND what we expected in a good sitter. Our Shepsky hasnt been with us an entire year yet so while she is a good girl, we were reserved wondering if she would feel comfortable and how she'd settle in around strangers. Within a few hours I got a couple of the pictures I needed. Belly up on the couch with some good people and good pets. Rachael seems to know dogs well but is incredibly humble which I believe is SUPER important when it comes to keeping dogs safe and not making assumptions. When our dog was returned to us she was tired and even more friendly and settled in than when we dropped her off. I can tell she was spoiled! Upon eye contact she is now gushing and loving up on people. (Sorry, have to add: she was a day away from euthanasia when I picked her up at the shelter and to see her leave Rachael's home a happy, perfect little princess made me cry) So thankful for Rachael's care!”
“Ashley was an amazing dog sitter! She kept me updated throughout Macy’s stay with messages and pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. Macy clearly enjoyed staying with her and was very well taken care of. I would definitely trust her to watch Macy again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“I cannot say enough good things about Sarah! This was the very first time my Shih Tzu Bella had ever been watched overnight or left with someone new, and I was honestly a bit nervous. From the moment they met, I could tell my Bella was in great hands. She provided excellent care, sent regular photos and text updates, and went above and beyond to make sure my little one felt safe and loved. When I picked Bella up, he was so happy and it was clear she had truly bonded with her. I’m so grateful to have found someone so kind, trustworthy, and attentive. Highly recommend! We already booked for another date!”
“Great sitter! Can’t recommend her enough. She was took great care of our boys. Gave us peace of mind they were well taken care of. Provided updates and pics of them. Our boys loved her. Would rebook again.”
“Jerron is the best!!! My pup Cooper stayed with him for Christmas and while I was sad to leave him, he had a blast. We got plenty of pics and videos and we were reassured that Cooper was having fun and settling in well. Our flight home got delayed and Jerron even dropped Cooper off for us as we were landing late. Wonderful experience and we’ll definitely be using him again! Highly recommend Jerron!”
“Christina was absolutely amazing! She watched my dogs for 3 days and truly went above and beyond anything I could have asked for. She eased all of my anxiety and kept me updated, which meant so much. Most importantly, my dogs had an absolute blast with her! I will definitely be using her for any future boarding needs—I couldn’t recommend her more!”
“Clara has taken good care of our dog for us. She has been accommodating with time scheduling as well. We appreciate her flexibility. Thanks Clara.”
“Pamela provided our dog, Alex, with great care and attention. We were updated often as to how Alex was doing. Alex was very happy during his stay, we could tell by his demeanor. Alex is an older dog and we had no worries about his well-being during his two night stay. We will definitely have Alex vacation with Pamela during our next trip to Scottsdal. Pamela is highly recommended for providing a caring home away from home for your pet.”
“Rachel did great with my dog! She provided updates, and it was easy to communicate with her regarding pickup and drop off. My 1st time using Rover and it was a good experience. I would definitely consider booking through her again.”
“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!!!!!!”
“We are so thankful that Brandon and his family were able to board our pup on short notice, and over the holidays. They gave us regular updates and lots of pics, helping us rest assured that Cocoa was in good hands. Would highly recommend leaving your fur baby with them.”
“She was very kind, and seemed to take great care of my dog! Her two pets were very relaxed when we met up, and my dog seemed to get quickly comfortable with her. Will definitely book again if she's available!!”

Brooke was great to work with. We did a very nice meet and greet ahead of time. I brought my girl to her place and we all got a chance to get to know each other. She answered any of my questions. Then the actual stay was very easy. Drop off was simple. I lingered of course and she let me. I got photos of my girl throughout her stay. It was great to get updates. Pickup was also super easy, Brooke was very accommodating. I'll be booking with Brooke again!
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!
Mac had a great stay with her and I’m super grateful for how flexible and accommodating she was with my crazy schedule. I ended up having to extend his stay twice from the original booking, and both times she didn’t hesitate at all to keep him longer, which helped me out so much and took a ton of stress off my plate. She sent me updates while I was away, and it was obvious she genuinely cared about him and loved having him there. I felt really comfortable knowing he was with her and being taken care of the whole time. I’d definitely trust her with Mac again and would absolutely book with her in the future. 😊😊😊
Krystal was great! I really appreciated her taking on my last minute dog boarding request. It was a huge life saver and allowed me to go see my family out of state for a few days. She has great communication and kept me updated with pictures of how my dog Dutchie was doing. I knew he was in great care!! 🙂🐶
Andrea was so helpful and sweet with our boy! She kept us updated throughout the weekend with photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. She also made sure everything was clean and tidy when we got home. We truly appreciate all the love and care she gave him. We highly recommend Andrea to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring pet sitter ❤️
Rachael and Tim were amazing with our Corgi. From the moment we had our first visit with them, we knew it would be a good fit. Rachael did a fantastic job of keeping us updated throughout our dog’s stay with her. She is one of the best I’ve seen and always communicates. We will def use them again!
Susan and Peter were so caring and communicative. Coco was so comfortable and happy in their home. My husband and I were out of the country for 9 days and were nervous to be so far away for so long, but we were continually reassured that Coco was safe. Susan and Peter were also very thoughtful in sending us daily updates with photos and videos (and they would kindly avoid sending these in the middle of the night due to the 8-hour time difference). They are amazing and we would 100% recommend them to any pet owner!
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!!!!!!
If you’re someone who gets anxious about leaving your dog, I can’t recommend Rachel enough. I always struggle with leaving Winston because I worry about whether he’s happy, comfortable, and getting the attention he needs. From the moment I dropped him off, Rachel’s organized and efficient system made me feel so much more at ease. Everything was well thought out, communication was clear, and I immediately felt like Winston was in good hands. Throughout his stay, Rachel sent videos and updates every single day and was incredibly responsive whenever I had questions. Seeing Winston happy, playing, and genuinely enjoying himself in every video meant so much to me. The biggest testament to the care she provided was Winston himself. After previous boarding experiences, he’s come home anxious, exhausted, or needing a few days to settle back in. This time was completely different. He came home happy, relaxed, and acting like his normal self from the moment I picked him up. It was obvious he had been well cared for and felt comfortable during his stay. Rachel took away so much of the stress and anxiety I normally feel when leaving my dog. Knowing he was safe, loved, and having fun allowed me to actually enjoy my time away instead of constantly worrying. That’s something I don’t take lightly. I’m so grateful for the care she gave Winston, and I would trust her with him again without hesitation.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Tempe
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.
