Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Tempe
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!
Rebekah and Billy did an incredible job with my dog Shirlee. I have had bad experiences with Rover in the past and they have renewed my hope that there are caring, competent sitters out there. They showed excitement to meet Shirlee and have her stay with them and I truly felt like they cared about her. I prefer over-communication and Rebekah listened and delivered. I got 37 pictures of Shirlee over the 2 days she was with them. I didn’t worry about my dog once and that’s worth so much more than they are charging. Shirlee seemed happy to be with Rebekah and Billy and seemed very calm when I picked her up as if she had been very comfortable. This matters to me because she tends to be anxious when I’m away. I will definitely try to book with Billy and Rebekah in the future. I couldn’t be happier with my experience.
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!
Savannah did an excellent job watching our dog while we were gone for 2 weeks. We were able to book her very last minute when our original sitter canceled on us unexpectedly. We're very happy with her and would highly recommend her... She kept in good communication with us, sending pictures and updates frequently. We will definitely book with her again!
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!
Rachael is amazing! This was my first time using Rover and won’t be the last time. Rachael is very organized and cared for our Maggie girl like she was her own. Everyday she updated us with a video and promptly replied to any messages or concerns we had. Absolutely will be using Rachael’s services in the future. Maggie loved her!
Susan and Jim went above and beyond taking care of our baby. She had an absolute blast and didn't want to leave. Susan sent us lots of pictures and updates. Her communication was excellent and we had peace of mind during our entire trip. We can tell our Duchess was very well loved and taken care of. We will definitely be rebooking with Susan and would recommend the same to anyone else looking for a dog sitter who goes above and beyond. Thank you Susan and Jim!
Elena was amazing with both Mags and Lady. I was worried about leaving them with another dog as Mags can be a little reactive but everything went so smoothly and communication was top notch. Thank you for watching our babies and for anyone on the fence: book Elena and Meeka if you want a trustworthy and friendly person with an amazing dog who will be a fantastic playmate to your dogs.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Tempe is $41 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $61 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 October 2026, there are 3,412 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 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, 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .
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.
