About: I have had cats and dogs for all my life and love to meet others’ pets. I have a knack for making all animals comfortable with me right off the bat (and sometimes making their owners jealous with how much they like me). I always listen to the needs and wants of the pets, especially those who may be more shy and need some space. I work part time and remote so I will have lots of flexibility to drop in on pets and stay around to keep them company. I always let animals dictate their comfort levels and how much space they need then slowly work to gain trust as needed. Once we are connected, I love to give them all the attention they want.
“I cannot recommend my pet sitter highly enough! From the very beginning, she was professional, communicative, and genuinely caring toward my pets. She provided regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. What impressed me most was the attention and affection she showed. It was clear that my pets were not just being watched—they were being cared for like family. She was attentive to their routines, needs, and personalities, and I came home to happy, relaxed pets and a spotless home. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, reliable, and truly passionate about animals, look no further. I would gladly book with her again and recommend her to anyone who wants exceptional care for their pets. Five stars all the way!”
“Sophia is just great! Finding a sitter for our pets is always a stressful process and we found Sophia to be reliable and dependable. She was very communicative and provided daily pictures of our fur babies. We will definitely use her services again and highly recommend her to look after your fur babies.”
“Lillian was great. She sent me tons of photos and videos which really put me at ease while out of town. She did the few extra side things I asked as well, which was super appreciated. I will definitely be using her again!”
“If I could give 6 stars I would. My dog Shea loves Danielle and is always well cared for. We totally trust Danielle with our house and care of our dog with no hesitation. Great - now everyone will book her and I wont get in again 😁”
“Ava was great in stopping in to check on our dogs while we were away for extended hours. I appreciate her providing some pictures and comments on Cooper and Bailey. I would highly recommend”
About: As a physician assistant and lifelong pet owner, I bring a responsible, attentive, and genuinely caring approach to pet sitting. I just graduated with my masters degree and will be starting my first PA position soon, which means I have a flexible schedule and am home most of the day to give your pets plenty of attention and companionship. I’ve never lived in a home without cats or dogs, and caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I currently have a Mini Australian Shepherd and a Weimaraner who absolutely love to play and would be happy to have some furry friends around. I have a large, pet-friendly home and live in an area that makes it easy for me to travel to your home or welcome dogs into mine. What sets me apart is how much I genuinely enjoy making sure pets are happy, stimulated, and well cared for—not just fed and let outside. I love finding ways to keep dogs mentally and physically engaged, including toys and activities like foraging mats and enrichment games. As a fellow pet owner, I completely understand the anxiety that comes with leaving your pets in someone else’s care. I take that trust seriously. I’m a strong communicator and will keep you updated with plenty of pictures, messages, and whatever information helps you feel comfortable while you’re away. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing your pets are safe, loved, and having a great time. Hi there, my name is Andrea! I just graduated with my master’s degree and have a little bit of time before I start my first job. I have a very flexible schedule and a passion for taking care of pets. Tell me what you need and I’m there! Whether your pet is staying in my home or I’m caring for them in yours, my priority is keeping them safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine as much as possible. For dogs in my home: I provide plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and mental enrichment throughout the day. I have a Mini Australian Shepherd and a Weimaraner who love to play, so I’m comfortable with energetic dogs and enjoy giving them opportunities for both physical and mental stimulation. I also use enrichment toys and activities, such as foraging mats, to keep pets engaged. I’m home most of the day, so pets receive lots of companionship rather than being left alone for long periods. In your home: I do my best to keep your pets’ routines as close to normal as possible. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, litter care, and anything else that helps your pet feel comfortable. I’m respectful of your home and will make sure everything is clean and secure when I leave. For both dogs and cats, I believe good communication is an important part of pet sitting. I’ll send regular updates and plenty of photos so you know how your pets are doing and can enjoy your time away with peace of mind.
About: I have helped take care of my own dogs since I was about 14 in any way I can. I am naturally drawn to animals and have a passion for helping them. I am on the pursuit to become a Clinical Psychologist. I love to give those who do not have a voice the treatment they deserve. I hope I can provide that warmth and comfort to your family! I am currently in college but have plenty of time outside of my classes. I am flexible with what people may need. I can accommodate certain situations if needed. I do not have home visits. My two dogs are both regularly bathed, fed and loved. They have been trained in the past but not by myself.
About: I’ve had dogs and taken care of them since before I can remember! This includes watching my neighbors’ dogs, as well as my relatives. I’m currently a college student, which gives me a flexible schedule for pet care. I’m available most weekday evenings and am also available most weekends. I provide attentive, reliable care in your pet’s own home where they feel most comfortable. I follow your routine for feeding, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and lots of affection. I keep your home tidy, send regular updates, and make sure your pet feels safe, relaxed, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: Greetings fellow dog lover! I have been taking care of dogs since I was 6 years old and will love and care for yours like my own while you are away at work or running errands during your busy day. I will pay special attention to their preferences (and yours) for all drop-ins, day care needs, and walks, and will be sure your pups are as happy as they can be! I have special experience with Beagles, Pitties, German Shepherds, sighthounds in general, and herding dogs such as Border Collies, but love all breeds and sizes. I am also very flexible and understanding of the modern schedule, so if you need to cancel, it's no worries! I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I am able to work around your schedule and make sure your pup has the attention they deserve. My backyard is fenced, turfed, completely shaded, and has a mister fan. I also have a dog door and the back gate is always closed and locked. Inside is all tile and dogs are allowed up on the couch if they are allowed at home.
“Tabbitha took excellent care of my kitties and promptly sent me visit cards with photos each time, which I really appreciated. She is quick to respond to messages and I felt relieved to have someone so caring and conscientious looking after my kids while I was away.”
“Bella was a great help to us with some last minute bookings for our cat. She was always on time for each visit and took great care while we were away. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: I’ve had all types of pet dogs (small, medium, large) that I’ve learned how to take care of. I have been paid to watch and clean family members dogs in the past. I am young so I am able to do more labor. I am able to give dogs oral medication, and have experience using medicinal creams on dogs. I am able to (and love to!) play with dogs to make sure they have fun. I am no squeamish with cleaning up after animal mistakes, and I can care for multiple dogs as once including puppies and seniors! I’m soon to be enrolled in college full time. I can care for pets over weekends for the full day, and Friday’s after 10 am!! Until school starts though, (August 9th) I am free every day at every time!! If needed, I can watch animals at my mom’s house which has a nice, fenced backyard to play in along with 3 others dogs and 2 cats. (Will mention, one cat is more fiesty with other animals, but i will be putting her in a separate space, and the most she could do is claw) I don’t think I would recommend my mom’s home for seniors or puppies due to an overstimulating environment and a 5 year old.
“Our cats were in good hands with Steph when we went out of town! She was punctual and provided good communication and many pictures. I would highly recommend Steph’s services!”
“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!”
About: My experience caring for family pets began at 16 years old. A noteworthy pet sitting involved caring for a household with one female dog, her six newly born puppies, two adolescent dogs, and a senior dog for a week and a half. I believe this highs shows my ability to handle diverse pet household needs. Also, I have gained some experience in pet care for cats since October 2023. I work 12-hour shifts from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sundays, Mondays, Tuesdays, and every other Wednesday. I am available every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, along with every other Wednesday. I can inform you if I have that week's Wednesday off or not when you send your request. As a pet owner of a dog and a cat, I understand that each pet requires a unique approach to their daily habits and needs. I will stand by your instructions for the care of your pet(s), with the consideration I expect when others care for my own pets when I'm away. I hold no judgment over their care needs.
“Maria is amazing with both my cat and dog! She took great care of my cat during the holidays and sent updates from each visit. Both my pets also love her and you can tell she genuinely loves animals.”
About: I bring dependable care, great energy, and real attention to detail! I follow every instruction carefully while making sure your pets feel loved, safe, and comfortable, as I've always been surrounded by pets since I was 6! I'll be taking a gap year from college, especially now that finals are over, so that means I have plenty of free time while right now I have a weekend job that's only been evening shifts. I'm looking to do 40+ hours a week! Right now, I have a pet of my own in my own place, and she's a cute awkward Black Kitty. It's very easy for me to give her affection and to keep a routine to make sure her water and food bowl is always full, because she gets super anxious when it's empty. As for caring for other pets, it's always easy for me to follow set of rules for the owner, alongside giving time and affection, especially when it comes to a very strict diet.
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.

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.
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!
Bridget was absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of our corgi puppy, Bubbles, and gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She was reliable, communicative, followed all of our instructions carefully, and treated Bubbles like he was her own. It was clear she genuinely cared about making sure he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We really appreciated her kindness, professionalism, and attention to detail. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Bridget again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter! Thank you so much Bridget!
Alyssa was WONDERFUL! She filled in last minute after my first walker canceled and gave me zero notice. She sent lots of pictures, Arlo loved her and she helped me setup my cameras so I could check on him while I was gone. I would definitely use her in the future.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Tempe stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Tempe with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
