“Nicole did a wonderful job taking care of my two older dogs while I was away for over a week. She walked them twice a day, gave them their daily medications, and spoiled them with lots of love! 💕 I highly recommend her to care for your fur babies! 🐶 🐾”


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.

“We love using Danielle to look after Kobe. She's awesome with the dog, attentive to any of our requests and mindful to remind us of appointments. Wholeheartedly recommend Danielle for your pet sitting needs!”


About: I love animals. I worked at as a Veterinary Tech for 8 years. Where I walked, feed, medicated, and grooms dogs and cats. I am very passionate about dogs getting potty breaks and exercise. I love walking dogs. Animals tend to gravitate towards me when I enter a house. I also love cats and the therapy that they bring. Cats are amazing in the skills that they have so I love being around them. I am great with all breeds from large to tiny. Smaller dogs need lots of extra loving such as sitting in laps and larger dogs tend usually to like fetch and outside activities I am also very comfortable about dispensing medication if needed and if instructions are left for me to follow.

“Steph was a great caretaker of our fur children. I have a pretty rambunctious dog and she handled her no problem. I’d trust Steph to take care of the babies again any day of the week.”

“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!”

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.
“Can’t thank Carly enough for getting me out of a last minute jam. She took amazing care of my two pups and did a great job communicating updates. Will definitely use her services again!”

“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.”


“Morgan was fantastic! She was punctual and gave me a summary after the drop in. I really appreciate that they made sure Asami got a potty break. I would happily trust them with my dog 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: 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've loved animals since I was a kid — that's where it all started. Growing up with pets taught me how much joy and comfort they bring to a home, and that's exactly why I love working with them today. Every pet has their own personality, and getting to know each one — their quirks, their routines, the way they wag or purr when they're happy — is the best part of my job. I treat every animal like my own. I have 4 years of hands-on experience caring for pets, which has given me a solid foundation in daily care, feeding, walking, playtime, and keeping pets happy and safe while their families are away. I'm also trained to administer oral medication to pets, so I can confidently care for animals with daily meds or special health needs — giving you peace of mind that your furry family member is in good hands. I'd love the chance to meet you and your pet! I absolutely love animals and right now I am pet sitting as my full time job as college allows me a flexible schedule to do so! I follow instructions to the T. I give them as much love as possible and maybe sneak them some treats every now and then. I make sure that everything is as safe and secure as possible as well for peace of mind.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs ranging from small to very large in the last 4 years. I administer medication every morning to my own dog and I have great time management to fit my pets feeding schedules. Currently I am working a part-time job and a full-time student at ASU Tempe! Outside of that I have lots of free time and I am more than willing to help out with your pet needs! I have reliable transportation so you would never have to worry about your pet not getting cared for in a timely manner. I also have a crate to use in the car if needed for transporting pets. Although most of my pet care experience is with dogs, I am open to caring for cats and other pets as well!
About: Hi! I used to take my family member's dog's on walks growing up, even sitted several times. I absolutely love animals and I am more than happy to keep them company, play with them, and take them on walks or to the dog park while you're out of town! I have open availability after 2 pm, with exception on Tuesday & Wednesday (open availability), just let me know when you’ll need me and I can make something work! While I’m staying in your home, I can also do some chores around the house--get the mail, take out the trash, wash dishes, pick up poop in the backyard, etc. I will follow all instructions given for feeding, giving medication, walks, etc. I am also very happy to just hang out at your house with your pets if that's what you/they prefer. I have a full time job but I still make time to play with my roommates dog at home. I love to take dogs on walks and it also helps that this keeps me productive throughout the day. All care needs must be discussed in advance and will mostly depend on the needs of the pets and the resources offered by the family.
About: ********* ANNOUNCEMENTS ********* • I'm back! Prices reduced! Hosting DOGS & CATS • Leash training w/boarding or not; dogs AND some cats - contact for details • Unable to host dogs who have not been socialized or may exhibit aggressive behaviors • Housebroken pets only please ------> Inquire about leash training ********* HISTORY & EXPERIENCE ********* I've been hosting dogs & cats through Rover.com for several years now, and it's been a tremendously rewarding experience. I have experience caring for pets with all kinds of medical conditions, disabilities, and behavioral problems, and am comfortable/experienced administering oral and/or injectable medications. I've always had an ability to earn the trust of even the most "difficult" cats and dogs. I've spent time volunteering with rescue organizations around the valley, working with a variety of breeds and personalities. I know your fur babies will be comfortable and happy regardless of their circumstances or background. ********* MY HOME & LOCATION ********* I work from my North Tempe townhouse near Papago Park, a quiet, safe, and 'dog-friendly' neighborhood not far from the airport. I don't have children or roommates, just a friendly, leash-trained therapy cat who loves new canine & feline playmates. It is an ideal environment for seniors, or dogs/cats with special needs. Take your next vacation with peace of mind; knowing your pooch is safe, happy, and getting plenty of attention and playtime! Please don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions you might have about my home, experience, or schedule. I work from home out of my North Tempe townhouse near Papago Park, a quiet, safe, and 'dog-friendly' neighborhood close to the airport & several dog parks. I have a fenced-in backyard with a doggy-door for on-demand potty breaks, but walking schedule is dictated by the owner, otherwise will usually be early morning, lunchtime, early evening, and sometimes one more short one before bedtime. Activities/treats/dog park visits listed above are tailored to guest’s age, dietary/medical concerns, and temperament. Adhering to your dog's regular routine is the best way to limit stress for both of you. Certified in pet CPR and experienced with all kinds of medications and disabilities, the only concern is that your dog may not want to leave when you return!

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. 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 .

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.

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.
