“Kristen is wonderful! She went out of her way to come meet my dog before ever taking on/accepting being a dog walker. She is now my go-to dog walker and I can’t imagine leaving him in anyone else’s hands! She’s very communicative and professional.”


About: Hello!! My name is Emily and I am a lifetime lover of dogs! I’ve had dogs throughout my whole life and found a passion for providing them with a safe and loving home 🥰. I specialize in high-energy dogs, along with dogs with medical needs. Whether your pup needs a walk, day care, drop-in visit, or overnight stay, I would be thrilled to be that safe person for them while you’re away. I currently work from home with a very flexible schedule, so I am able to give your pup my undivided attention. Your dog’s comfort and safety are my top priority. Dogs will have separate meal times to relieve any meal-time stress. They are also welcome on the furniture for relaxing time and/or snuggle time ☺️. I live in an apartment with multiple spacious, fenced-in grass areas for pups! My apartment is very dog friendly and they provide many different dog spaces for pups to enjoy and socialize if wanted. For dogs staying in our home, I also have a 7 month old pup! Her name is Isla and she is the sweetest pup. She LOVES snuggle time, but also loves to play! She has already traveled a lot at an early age as a service dog, so she is a very well trained pup. I’m excited for her to create a bond with your dog and become life-long buddies! 🐾 I’m excited to meet and discuss how I can create a safe space for your dog! I’m thrilled become a reliable companion for your pup! I work from home with a very flexible schedule! I work on my own time, so I can help with your pup whenever you need ☺️ In my home I have a safe and open apartment space. My complex also has an outdoor yard space for pets along with many walking spots near by! There are gated outdoor areas as well for the pups!
About: I grew up on a ranch caring for many animals, especially dogs and cats. I’ve owned and cared for breeds like German Shepherds, Chows, Yorkshire Terriers, and rescued strays. I’ve worked at a local animal shelter and veterinary center. I love staying active and going on walks with dogs. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine since I have a flexible schedule and spend most of my time at home. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, supervision, and consistency throughout the day. I provide a calm, clean, and safe environment with plenty of supervision and attention. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I make sure pets feel comfortable, secure, and cared for while in my home.
“Taylor was awesome! She was very considerate about the hot weather and took my dog out for a later walk if the pavement was too hot. She also left notes about if he peed or pooped so I knew he was on a normal potty cycle. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone!”

About: I have grown up with dogs and cats my whole life. My grandmother has trained golden retrievers year after year in things like search and rescue, and agility ever since I can remember. I've participated in the trainings as a kid, and that's when I first fell in love with animals. I can check in with your pet while you are away, and spend time with them in your absence. I can feed, exercise, and do whatever it takes to keep your pet happy while you are away. I've been using Rover for a decade now, and I love it. I'm an easy-going person who loves hiking and a good Netflix show when I'm not at work or working with Rover. I've lived in Arizona for over seven years, and I love exploring and making new animal friends. I love spending time with dogs, so caring for other's dogs fits into my routine perfectly! I currently Doordash in my free time and will be starting a full time job again soon. I provide a loving an nuturing environment for your pet while you are away. When your pet is in my care, they will feel comfortable, safe, and happy.
About: I currently have 3 dogs of my own, and 2 of them were adopted when they were only 6 weeks old. They’re now 6 months old, so I have hands-on experience caring for young puppies and understand the time, patience, and consistency they need every day. I’m used to feeding schedules, potty training, cleaning up after them, supervising playtime, and helping them get comfortable in a home environment. I’ve also helped friends with drop-in dog care and have experience taking care of 2 large dogs. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, refilling water, cleaning up, and making sure dogs get attention and feel safe while their owners are away. I genuinely love animals and always try to care for every dog as if they were my own. My schedule is currently flexible, so I’m available for drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting throughout the week. I’ll keep my calendar updated regularly, and I’m happy to work with your pet’s usual routine whenever possible. I’m not currently offering boarding in my home, but I’m available for house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking. I always try to keep pets comfortable by following their usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any household pet-care instructions. I’m also respectful of clients’ homes and make sure everything stays clean, safe, and well cared for while they’re away. I know it can be stressful to leave pets behind, so I’m happy to send photo updates and communicate clearly throughout the stay.
“Teresa has been absolutely wonderful with Stella, has walked her every day from 8 weeks to 6 months around lunch to help my husband and I with our work schedule. She provides clear communication and plenty of pictures and has been very flexible with our work schedules. My dog loves her! Would highly recommend her.”

About: Hi, I’m Mali! I’ve been caring for animals since I was 11 years old, starting with my own dog, Rajah, who is now a happy 15-year-old senior. I have trained both Rajah and my younger dog, Ripley, as service dogs, giving me extensive hands-on experience with training, behavior, and enrichment. My love for animals extends beyond my own pets. Growing up, I helped care for animals on a farm and even started a small neighborhood grooming service with a friend. Today, I share my home with Ripley and two cats, and animals continue to be at the center of my life. Professionally, I have over five years of experience as a veterinary technician, including four years in emergency medicine. I currently work as a lead veterinary technician in a surgical unit, where I care for patients before, during, and after procedures. This background allows me to confidently care for pets of all ages, temperaments, and medical needs. I am also enrolled in Penn Foster’s Dog Trainer Program and am working toward becoming a certified dog trainer. My goal is to provide every pet with safe, compassionate, and knowledgeable care while giving their owners peace of mind. I work Tuesday–Friday and am generally available after 6 PM on those days. I have much greater flexibility Saturday through Monday for walks, drop-ins, and pet care. I’m also open to discussing scheduling needs and can sometimes adjust when possible. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is always their safety, comfort, and maintaining their normal routine. I take time to follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise needs, and any special medical or behavioral notes. With over five years of experience as a veterinary technician, I am comfortable recognizing early signs of stress, illness, or medical concern and responding appropriately. I also have extensive experience handling pets of all temperaments, including anxious, shy, senior, and high-energy animals. I always approach pets calmly and respectfully, allowing them to set the pace of interaction so they feel safe and secure. I prioritize positive reinforcement, gentle handling, and consistency to reduce stress while their owners are away. In a client’s home, I treat the space with the same respect I would my own—keeping things clean, secure, and exactly as I found them. I also provide updates so owners can feel confident and informed while they are away.
About: I have had dogs since I was 10 years old. I also dog sat for my neighbors, family, and friends. Anything your pet needs, I’ll try my best to provide! I currently am an athlete at University of North Dakota. I am away from home around 6 hours of the day for practice and class besides weekends and game days during the basketball season. Late afternoon and evening are the most convenient times for me. I do not have a yard but I fenced in grass areas near my apartment to take your dog out to play and go potty. If you’re more comfortable with your pet staying home and me coming to check on them there I am more than willing to do that!
About: I have had 5 cats over my whole life, since age 7! Experience (chronological) of 7 months in an animal shelter volunteering (halted due to an emergency move, then the facility changed to S&N / vaccination services exclusively), 3 months full time in a pet resort, and 2 months professionally & full time in another animal shelter. I have more experience/specific knowledge when it comes to cats and their behaviors, but I am also comfortable and have had experience with dogs (doggy daycare, individual playtimes, walks, as well as feedings!) Cleaning & sanitation was also a major factor in safety when working with animals. I find individual/localized care is more fitting for my life, as I am discovering furthering limits with conditions of mine. Care for both are my forte, and I would love to bring the knowledge & experience I have to your loved ones when someone is needed! I look forward to all the lives I may come across ❤️ 🫶 • 😸 🐶 🐹 🦜 🦎 • 🫶 As for my own cats; I will always make sure mine has their needs met first, and ensure they will be in good hands with my husband if I happen to stay a night/several hours somewhere. They have 24/7 access to filtered water, 3-4 separate feeding times with a real meat & kibble mix (warmed meal,) and at least 15 minutes of full undivided attention playtime a day (doesn’t count the hours of loving on them!) Cat litter boxes are sifted daily, often twice when I can. Litter replacement every 2 weeks, Full washes every month! Whatever is asked for & beyond (unless asked otherwise!). Supervision is vital to how I care for animals, and will always be a top priority especially when it comes to outdoors. Routines and schedules are important to me as well and never skipped.

About: Always had a passion for dogs and am certified in dog obedience. I’ve raised my own dog since he was a puppy—he’s now 8 years old. I treat every dog with the same love, care, and attention as if they were my own. Pet care fits really well into my daily life because I work remotely, which gives me flexibility and time to properly care for pets throughout the day. It also helps me break up my routine in a positive way by getting outside for walks, playtime, and check-ins. I enjoy being active and having structure in my day, and caring for animals naturally adds that balance. Most importantly, I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs, so it never feels like a task—it feels rewarding and something I look forward to. I care for pets like they’re part of my own family—keeping their routine steady, making sure they’re happy, fed, and comfortable, and giving them plenty of attention and care while you’re away. I also respect your home and keep everything tidy.

About: I have had a dog since I was a child and have cared for all types of dogs, from a mini dachshund to a great dane mix. I have experience with shelters dogs, dogs with anxiety, and service dogs. I currently work from home and do not have a set schedule. I do have family dinners sunday nights and am typically gone around 4 hours but otherwise, I am typically only gone an hour or so every few days. I live in an apartment but love taking the dogs out on long walks every few hours. I have a retired service dog who will keep your dog company.

About: I’ve had pets my entire life. My family had a two high energy dogs growing up and even from a young age I would enjoy caring for the two of them. After they passed, I volunteered at my local humane society, working mainly with dogs. When I was about 17, I convinced my family to adopt a puppy. I taught him basic commands, potty training, and basic leash skills. I currently own a cat who is equal parts sweetheart and menace. Being tasked with raising a kitten turned out to have a massive learning curve, but he is absolutely spoiled with playtime, toys, and treats. He is currently being leash trained and we’re working on anxiety associated with his crate. I have a PRN position at a children’s hospital, so I have plenty of time to check in on your baby/babies. I work a short Monday shift from 12-4PM. I have a hybrid pharmacy schedule, so I am able to attend classes from wherever I am. I care for all pets with love and respect. The main goal is to establish trust with new pets by allowing them to approach me with interest on their own terms, even if it takes a while. Providing pets with playtime and attention is a priority after their daily basic needs are met. I believe in gentle correction or making an activity more interesting with treats or a favorite toy when a pet is acting up or disinterested.
About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs and cats including fostering kittens through an animal shelter. I’ve helped friends with their dogs as well. I love both dogs and cats very much! I’m a full time student so my schedule varies but is overall very open and flexible! I’m available a majority of the time and for all holidays. I always treat pets like I would treat my own and make sure they feel safe and loved. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, keep spaces clean, and monitor them closely during walks or playtime.
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Tempe is $20
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Tempe
My pups love Shanae! She is very responsive and easy to work with. She always checks in with me about any concerns which i really appreciate! She has also gone above and beyond, cleaning up after one of my dogs had an accident in the house when I was at work. I would recommend her to anyone. Thanks Shanae you’re the best!

Alan has been my regular dog walker for over a year now and I would recommend him to anyone. My dog loves him, and he gives detailed reports after every walk, which I appreciate so much. He has really good attention to detail and I trust him to make sure my dog is safe and happy during their evening walks.

Ashley arrived promptly and followed all instructions getting into the apartment for my 14 year old madam Biba … Biba would take Ashley for her walk and Ashley was lovely to be patient, Ashley also sent photos everyday of Biba loving her early morning walks. I highly recommend her and will be using her when we get back after the summer break.

Teresa has been absolutely wonderful with Stella, has walked her every day from 8 weeks to 6 months around lunch to help my husband and I with our work schedule. She provides clear communication and plenty of pictures and has been very flexible with our work schedules. My dog loves her! Would highly recommend her.

Yanssel goes above and beyond to ae sure my big dig is safe, loved and well taken care of. She always sends plenty if pictures and communicates very thoroughly if something seems off. Yanssel is very trustworthy around my pets and in my home alone. Would recommend 100%.

Hunter was very professional, compassionate, and understanding. He understood the needs of an older dog as well as my crazy work schedule. Most of all I feel I could trust him to come into my home when I was not there. I tried to hire students from ASU and Hunter proved himself to be reliable. I’ll definitely be hiring him again.

I got a very quick reply to my request, than a meet and greet that went very well (my kind of shy little dog took right to him), friendly service, and great communication! He let me know when he was arriving and departing for the dog walk visit, and sent me a photo. I will happily request Kaiser again if needed, and I would recommend him to others.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Tempe on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of June 2026, there are 6,807 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Tempe. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Tempe. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Tempe.

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.
Every walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Tempe. On Rover:
- 94% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 walker.
