“We are so grateful for Rachel ! We had a last minute booking and she was super communicative about availability and flexibility with our fur babies. She was always updating us on how they were doing during her check ins. Razor and Blueberry absolutely loved her and felt very comfortable with her specially when she brought them some treats!! We will definitely be reaching out again:)”
“Avery did a wonderful job taking care of our dog. She is trustworthy and dependable. Most importantly, our dog enjoys her company. We plan on using her services again. This was our 2nd booking with her.”
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.
“Sophia was AMAZING to work with! I could tell my pups had a great time while I was gone and Sophia provided great updates every visit so I was never worried about what they were up to. I look forward to having her watch my dogs again!”
“Erin did an amazing job taking care of my two cats while I was away! They are usually skittish around new people (the last cat sitter i used didn’t see either of my cats over a week). Erin though had them both playing with her and coming out to greet her and sent lots of updates”
“Nicole was awesome! I booked her last minute and she did such a great job with my crazy, high energy dog. She handled her like a pro and kept me at ease the whole time. Definitely recommend and will book her again!”
About: I have 7 years of hands-on experience caring for my own cat, as well as previous experience caring for hamsters. I’m patient, gentle, and attentive with animals, and I understand the importance of following each pet’s individual routine, personality, and needs. I always aim to provide a safe, comfortable, and caring environment. As a college student, I have a flexible schedule outside of my classes and can make time for pet care throughout the week. I’m happy to work around each pet’s regular feeding, playtime, and care routine. I respect every pet’s individual personality, boundaries, and daily routine, as well as their owner’s care instructions. I’ll follow feeding, cleaning, and playtime routines carefully and keep their environment clean and comfortable. I’m patient and will always give pets the time and space they need to feel safe around me.
“Kristen was amazing! Kristen was really prompt with responding to the request, able to do a meet-and-greet quickly, and was so responsive while I was out of town. She was so good with my cat, Hailey. Hailey is normally really nervous around new people, but she warmed up to Kristen and I got many pictures of Hailey rolling around just being herself. I absolutely recommend using Kristen as a sitter and plan on booking with her again.”
About: I have grown up with pets my entire life and have experience caring for dogs through every stage of their lives, from puppies to seniors. Over the years, I've learned how to provide attentive, loving care while understanding that every pet has their own unique personality and needs. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have also dog sat for other families. I like to ensure that each pet felt safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Whether it's playtime, walks, maintaining routines, or giving extra patience and attention to senior dogs, I always strive to treat every pet like they are part of my own family. I have a flexible schedule/work from home, which allows me to give pets frequent attention, potty breaks, walks, and companionship throughout the day. I am available 7 days a week and I make my own schedule so I am pretty flexible with the hours as well. Pet care fits comfortably into my routine, and I enjoy creating a calm, consistent environment for every pet I watch. I live in a house with a gated backyard where dogs can safely play and get exercise under supervision. I keep a clean, pet-friendly environment and pay close attention to each pet’s routine, comfort level, and needs. I like to focus on creating a safe, loving, and low-stress experience with plenty of attention, playtime, and updates for owners.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over many years and genuinely love spending time with animals. I’ve helped care for pets belonging to family, friends, and neighbors by feeding them, taking them on walks, playing with them, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I always take the time to follow each owner’s instructions carefully. As someone pursuing a career in education, I’m patient, dependable, and attentive, and I’ll treat your pet with the same love and care I would my own. I’m currently flexible and have a schedule that allows me to provide reliable pet care throughout the week. Whether your pet needs walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I’ll do my best to accommodate your schedule. I’m committed to being punctual, responsive, and making sure your pet receives the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and happiness are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs they may have. I’ll always follow your instructions closely regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and household rules. During walks, I keep dogs securely leashed and stay alert to our surroundings. In your home, I’ll treat your space with respect, provide regular updates and photos, and make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.
About: I’ve had a dog growing up but he sadly passed away about a year ago. I miss him deeply and would love to spend more time with dogs. I understand how much pets mean to their owners and can guarantee that I will treat your pet with so much love and care as if he/she is my own. I am working Monday-Friday, 8am-5pm in Gilbert but would love to spend time with your pets after work and on the weekends. If needed, I can set aside additional time in the mornings for drop ins. I always keep a close eye on the pets, especially when outside, and ALWAYS take them out on a leash (with exceptions to fenced in yards). I follow strict schedules given by pet owners when pet sitting.

“Maria is amazing as always! She took great care of my cat for a week and followed all instructions, as well as sent cute updates after each visit. We are lucky to have her :)”

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!
Estefany was wonderful with my puppy! She was very caring and attentive, communicated with me promptly, and sent regular photo updates, which made me feel completely at ease. My puppy clearly loved spending time with her. I’m so grateful for the care she provided and lucky can continue working with her regularly!
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.
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!
We are so grateful for Rachel ! We had a last minute booking and she was super communicative about availability and flexibility with our fur babies. She was always updating us on how they were doing during her check ins. Razor and Blueberry absolutely loved her and felt very comfortable with her specially when she brought them some treats!!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
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. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Tempe. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
