“Micaela was so easy to work with and a natural for our cat Milo. She was dependable and professional; I felt comfortable with her checking on our cat in our home. She offered the extra help of watering plants & mail but we had someone else helping us for those chores. She did bring in an unexpected box delivery into the house for us which was a life saver! I will use Micaela again and will recommend her pet services to friends.”
“Summer was an amazing sitter to my cat. Not only did she make herself available on such short notice but she also made sure to know everything she needed to know to care for my cat. She followed all instructions carefully and was very attentive to my cat. My cat requires a bit more food preparation for the day and Summer went above and beyond to do so. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a trusted and caring pet sitter.”
“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!”
“Nancy was such a great help with our cat, Hugh. She asked lots of great questions and was very attentive to the details for Hugh’s check-ins. I recommend Nancy to others on Rover!”

“Courtney did a phenomenal job with my cat Domi. She went out of her way to make sure my baby felt comfortable while I was away. She checked in on her every day, fed her, filled her feeder and went above and beyond for my girl. She is professional and trustworthy. I highly recommend Courtney to anyone looking for a phenomenal care taker for their pets.”
About: Having 2 doxies trained me to be patient and to dispense all the love and attention they need (it's a lot:) I simply love to cuddle up with a pup or play if they're in the mood. I have a lifetime of cat experience and raised 2 mini dachshunds ( lost in divorce) whom I worshipped! I have many repeat house sitting jobs, and will treat your pet like they are my own. In your home, I will follow directions to the letter and leave your house as it was when I arrived. Warning...your pet may be spoiled:) I have cared for elderly dogs & puppies! I love cats as well, and used to socialize kitties at the Humane Society.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats ever since I was able to be left home alone. Often times taking care of my parent’s pets, most of whom were energetic labs, over weekends while my parents were out of town. Into adulthood I’ve continued to take care of my parent’s and friend’s animals. I’ve volunteered at my hometown’s Humane Society taking care of animals from puppies and kittens to seniors. I am a responsible person who will make sure that your baby is well looked for and will provide a safe and comforting experience for them while they are in my care. I currently work part time in the evenings and weekends. Making my schedule perfect for when you need a sitter while you’re at work! I also have a few gaps a few weeks in the year where I can be more available for your pet! Not only have I pet sit before but I’ve also house sat a few times. I will treat your home with the upmost respect and can even water a few plants on top of pet care! I’m comfortable being alone with numerous pets of all sizes and will treat their space with care.
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.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Tempe
Adrienne is amazing!! She is so kind, thoughtful, and genuinely the best! She was super communicative and sent lots of pictures, which I absolutely love! She even did a little grooming for my dog without me asking, which was so sweet and thoughtful. We had such a great experience, and we will definitely be booking with her again!! Highly recommend her!!
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.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Tempe is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $28 per visit. 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 November 2026, there are 7,195 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Tempe. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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 Rover Guarantee, 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 Meet & Greet.
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:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
