About: I love animals so much! I grew up around BIG dogs, smol dogs, cats, and birds. I've taken care of dogs of all types since I was a kid and I have been the go-to sitter/walker/drop in and hangout guy when my family or friends are out of town or stuck at the office late. I had a beautiful pitbull named, Artemis, who sadly passed away from cancer. She was my everything. Now, I have a bearded dragon named, Vermithor. I would take care of your animal(s) as if they were my own. I am energetic, playful, attentive, patient, and caring. I would treat you, your house, and your animals with the upmost respect. ***Rover does not have an option for other animals besides cats and dogs for care giving, so if you would like my assistance with any scaley, fishy, or winged family members then please message me to let me know what kind of family member you have and I will gladly help out<3 We would just have to use Zelle*** I am an Army Veteran working on getting my 2nd Associates Degree. Right now I am on summer break so that means my availability is wide open! If you have a fenced yard, I would let them out and be outside with them until they were done. If you don't have a yard, I would put their harness and leash on them so that we could stroll around outside. If they have a kennel, I would let them out and put them back in. If you have multiple dogs, I also have experience with feeding them in different rooms so that they do not fight over their food (if your dogs are like that). I am excellent at following any instructions left for me.
About: Current Biomedical Engineering Student at ASU, past Vet Assistant. I’ve always loving dogs and cats, but can’t have any, and wish to work with them! During Mondays, I am available until 10AM and after 1 PM. On Tuesdays, I am available after 3 PM. Weekends I’m completely free after 12 PM. I’m a full time student, so I provide time spans that give flexibility so I won’t let you and your pet down! I’ve learned to maintain control of my environment for the safety of your pet as well as those around us in terms of being in your home or neighborhood.

About: I have always loved being around dogs and have plenty of hands on experience caring for them. I regularly pet sit for dogs in my building and take them on walks, making sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and love. I also have a golden retriever puppy of my own, so I’m very comfortable with the energy, patience, and responsibility that comes with taking care of a dog. I’m reliable, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and making sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while their owners are away. Im currently an online student and so im usually pretty free which provides me with a lot of time to hang out with the dogs! I live in a nice apartment and my building has a pet play area that’s always empty and a place for them to run around as well as a lot of trails for long walks!

About: My mom was a veterinarian, so I grew up with pets. Not only do I have a deep love for animals, like my mom, but I also have true experience caring for them. I’m free Friday-Sunday and occasionally have free days during the week. I currently work part-time and attend ASU part-time, so I’m not available for anything last minute. I always care for pets in their home the way they would be cared for by their owner to avoid causing them any stress or anxiety.
“Serena saved the day with short notice availability for our two cats, Darci and Jackson! She was super communicative throughout the entire drop in visit, sent updates, and took great initiative when handling our instructions. Our cats were so well taken care of, and her genuine love for animals really shines through. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful sitter!”

“Deanna did an amazing job!!! I felt very comfortable leaving my cat in her care and she even made sure the litter box was cleaned and left detailed notes. Definitely will book again in the future”

About: Arianna and I are a young, professional couple and have a huge love for animals, especially dogs! We have 4 of dogs of our own and share custody of them with a family friend. Our dogs would NOT be with us during the sit. We are transitioning to a new home and thought this would be a great way to save money for moving but also to help someone in need as well. As fur Moms, we love all animals and would treat yours with the same attention and care as we do with our own. That same respect would, of course, extend to respecting your home as we would our own home. Arianna also was once a veterinary technician and has great insight on how to take care of animals beyond what the average person may or may not be aware of. She’s also had cats of her own is familiar with how to tend to them as well. So, both of those facts are great added bonuses. Working remotely helps out a lot in this area. With my being home all day for work and Arianna currently looking for office work in the Behavioral Health field, that still allows her to assist me whenever necessary. Together, we’ve made it work! We make sure to have meet and greets with all clients (virtual and/or in person) to ensure all safety measures, dietary and medical questions are asked by both us and the pet parents before accepting a sit.

About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, turtles, and fish, and I currently have two dogs of my own: a 7-year-old Standard Poodle and a 3-year-old mutt. I previously cared for a senior rescue dog, so I’m experienced with pets who need extra patience, consistency, and care. I’ve trained my own dogs and am comfortable with everything from long walks and dog park trips to detailed meal prep, medications, and specific sleep routines. I know every pet has their own personality and needs, whether that means helping a shy cat slowly feel comfortable or keeping an energetic dog happy and engaged. I’m also a strong communicator and believe pet parents should feel confident and informed while they’re away. I’m happy to provide regular updates, photos, and any details that help you feel connected to your pet and reassured that they’re receiving great care. I love getting to know each pet as an individual and providing the same thoughtful, reliable care I’d want for my own animals. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work remotely, which gives me flexibility throughout the workweek for check-ins, feeding, playtime, walks, and potty breaks. I’m used to building pet care into my schedule and maintaining consistent routines so pets feel comfortable and secure. I also have a reliable vehicle, making it easy to provide drop-ins, walks, or transportation when needed. Whether your pet needs a quick midday visit, extra playtime, medication support, or simply some companionship while you’re away, I’m able to provide dependable and attentive care. I provide care in your home so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routines. I understand that staying home can be especially important for pets who are anxious, older, have medical needs, or simply feel safest in their own space. I take the time to learn each pet’s schedule, personality, and preferences, including feeding routines, medications, exercise needs, play styles, and any special instructions. I’ll treat your home with respect, keep things clean and consistent, and provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident while you’re away. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, cared for, and loved while keeping their routine as close to normal as possible.

“Melvina is wonderful! She is warm and friendly with my 2 dogs, handles their special senior-dog needs well, and offered to come back over when I got home late. The dogs and I love having her here!”

“Crystal is awesome. She came over to meet my cat Monkey before her visits to make him comfortable and did such a great job keeping him company and her communication is great. I really appreciate her visits.”


About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for dogs for friends and family. I’m reliable, patient, and committed to making sure every dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, feeding, or giving plenty of attention, I’ll treat your pet like my own. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes and understand the importance of following each owner’s instructions to keep their routine consistent. I am currently available any time, any day, and have a fully open schedule to provide reliable, flexible care for pets whenever they need it, including weekends and holidays. I have a 10-year-old cat at home, so I understand the importance of providing patient, attentive, and loving care. I'm experienced with daily feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and recognizing changes in a pet's behavior. I always follow each pet owner's instructions carefully to keep their pet's routine consistent and comfortable. I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing a safe, clean, and stress-free environment while they are in my care.
“Bridget was amazing! We have a diabetic cat that needed shots twice a day and two others. Bridget was super communicative, had great summaries and took lots of pictures to help us feel better about being away for so long. All of our instructions were followed and the cats were well taken care of. We will definitely be using Bridget's services in the future.”

About: Hi there, I’m actively looking to take of your fur babies! Whether it be a cat or dog I’m here to assist. I have two special needs dogs of my own so I’m familiar with needing to administer different types of medications. If you’re dog is diabetic and needs his meds at a certain time I’m your girl! My dog Finley is now diabetic so I know it can be stressful for both of you. I’m also here to just take care of puppies by letting them out when you’re at work or walking some dogs that need to get out during the day to burn off some energy! At this time I’m taking a break from the corporate life to focus on finding a career that’s more rewarding! This gives me lots of flexibility to take care of your babies! I have years of experiences not only taking care of my dog but others as well. Even the dogs that are more shy I can slowly get to warm up to me. It’s important to build a trusting relationship with them so they are excited to see me when I walk in the door cause they know I’m a safe space for them!

“Victoria was really great with doing check-ins for my dog Zoey. Initially her responses were really quick and her communication from the meet and greet to the first day she check on Zo was great! I could tell she has a lot of experience with dogs when I met her, had zero worries knowing she was checking on Zoey! Very laid back but professional at the same time!”

Ash was wonderful. Very responsive and communicative and flexible. This was the first time I hired Ash and her quick responsiveness and help with the app was so helpful and put me at ease. I would and will hire Ash again. My pups are my babies and they were in great hands!!

My dog doesn’t like anyone but Kathleen won her over! I was very nervous about leaving my senior dog with a dog sitter but Kathleen was very communicative and positive. I am so grateful my dog had a good week, comfortable at home, while we could take a vacation.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Stella was absolutely amazing with our dog, Stormy! From the very beginning, she communicated with us consistently, checked in, followed everything we asked, and truly went above and beyond. Moises and I were able to see some of her visits through our home cameras, and what stood out most was how caring, patient, and interactive she was with Stormy. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing that Stormy was not only being taken care of, but was receiving genuine attention, affection, and companionship while we were away. Stella is dependable, thoughtful, and clearly has a heart for animals. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their dog. We will absolutely be using Stella again. She has definitely become our go-to sitter for Stormy! Thank you again, Stella, for taking such wonderful care of our girl. ❤️🐾

There are no words to express how thankful I am to have found Maegan as a sitter for our pups! Maegan is caring, attentive, and always willing to go the extra mile for your pets. As someone who is picky about who I leave my dogs with, I could not recommend Maegan enough.

I was lucky to find James on Rover. He accepted my last minute urgent situation and kindly provided excellent sitting and care for my little Papillon. Extended his time and services to get dog food and treats while I was gone all week. He is someone to trust and I recommend him !!! Denise P.

Carly took wonderful care of our dog, Rosa, for five days, visiting our home twice a day to feed her and spend time with her. She sent us photos after every visit, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Rosa was happy and relaxed when we got home, and we could tell she had been very well cared for. We would definitely book Carly again and highly recommend her!

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Tempe choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
