“Zachary was absolutely amazing! He helped me out last minute and made the whole experience completely stress free. He was very communicative, kept me updated throughout the visit, and truly went above and beyond. He took such great care of my mini Goldendoodle, gave him lots of pets and attention, and it was obvious my dog was happy and comfortable with him. My dog was in such caring hands and it gave me peace of mind. I would absolutely book with Zachary again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and dependable dog walker!”

About: I grew up with a brindle boxer who was truly part of my family, and losing her a couple years ago was one of the hardest things I’ve gone through. Since then, I’ve been fostering dogs through the Humane Society, everything from shy rescues to energetic puppies. Ive fostered dogs that had kennel cough to dogs that needed to gain weight after being rescued from horrible conditions. Fostering taught me how to handle different personalities, build trust with nervous dogs, and give each pet the patience and love they need. Caring for dogs has always been a big part of my life, and I bring that same level of attention and compassion to every pet I watch. Pet care fits perfectly into my weekly routine. I’m available most days and fully flexible, I'm pursuing a degree and have class Tuesday and Thursday from 9am–12pm, but I’m available the rest of the day and all other days of the week. This gives me a very flexible schedule for walks, drop‑ins, and house sitting. I plan my day around pet care, so your dog always gets consistent attention, timely visits, and plenty of love. Your pet’s safety is always my top priority. I follow all instructions exactly, keep doors and gates securely closed, and make sure your dog is never put in an unsafe situation. I’m calm, patient, and experienced with foster dogs, so I know how to handle different personalities and energy levels. I always double‑check leashes, harnesses, and feeding routines, and I keep a close eye on your pet during every visit. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, comfortable, and cared for at all times.
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.
“Teresa was so patient with some of the hiccups of getting through property gate, and then door code not working… and, saved us by taking on helping us with a last minute request. We will definitely reach out to Teresa again in the future :)”

About: Hi! I’ve been caring for animals my whole life, growing up with multiple dogs and cats, even caring for one that had diabetes. I also have a lot of hands on experience with farm animals like horses and goats etc. I’m calm, attentive and comfortable following specific care routines to make sure every pet feels safe and cared for! I’m currently not working, I’m a third-year student at ASU only going into classes Tuesdays and Thursdays so I have lots of time to care for pets! Caring for my pets include feeding times, walking, play time, cleaning up after, spa days, and lots of cuddles. Also making sure my pets always have fresh water!
About: I know how scary it is to entrust others with your pets, especially if you are like me and have an anxious/reactive pet. I volunteer with a local shelter, and they've taught me so much when it comes to minimizing stress in animals as much as possible. I will treat your pets like I treat my own, with a focus on comfort, reducing stress, and respecting boundaries in what your pet might find to be a new or scary situation. I currently work from home with a flexible schedule, so any time not spent with my own pets or volunteering at the animal shelter I can dedicate to caring for your pet! I have a fenced yard, dog crates, and even a dedicated "pet room" in my home. I also like to use the vertical space for my cats and give them lots of shelving and perches for them to climb and view the windows.
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: 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: 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.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was six years old I have grown a very strong boned with them never had a bad outcome with any pet I’ve encountered and I love their cute faces I’m currently in school finishing my last year of high school I just looking for something that can keep me busy but also keep me active Just know your pet will always be safe with me I will make sure he or she is always cared for an always loved when they’re with me
“Taylor was able to cover a few days of walks for me while my regular rover was out of town. She checked in with me and made sure I knew when she was on her way to take care of my dog, which I really appreciated. She was a great help.”

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 working full time at Chase Bank. I am gone from the hours of 9 am to 6 pm! I get up early in the morning and go on a walk myself and then another when I get home from work! 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 been around dogs since a very young age and have always loved them so much. I got my first dog at 14 and he is the love of my life, but he lives in Seattle, where I am from, so I want to take any opportunity I can to get to spend time with dogs and take care of them! I have been dog sitting and walking since about 8th grade and I have a love for the job! I work 2-3 nights a week from 4-9 and I am super flexible during the day, especially in the morning! I could walk dogs anywhere from 7am-1pm My dog back home gets fed twice a day and walked three times a day, along with going for swims in the lake and throwing around the ball in the backyard, I also take him to the park occasionally. I have cared for many different dogs with different needs even older dogs with medications and such! I am an empath at heart and will always put the dogs needs first.
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 have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. Growing up, I cared for my own small dog and regularly watched family members’ and neighbors’ dogs through walks, feeding, playtime, and overnight care. I’ve also expanded my experience by volunteering at a local animal shelter, where I walk and care for dogs with a wide range of personalities and energy levels. I have delt with numerous dogs with high energy personalities or sometimes ones with bad behavior habits. I always handle situations with care and would love to wear your dog out! I genuinely love being around animals and always make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away. I’m very attentive, reliable, and responsible, whether that means sticking to feeding schedules, providing exercise and enrichment, or simply giving dogs lots of attention and affection. My goal is always to treat every dog like they’re my own and provide the best care possible. When visiting your fur baby I would love to take them on a walk have a good play session and give them all the attentive care they need! I have a very open availability and if I get a request enough in advance, I am willing to take off work in order to work around my client's schedule! Even if I do have work, it is part-time only for a couple of hours and can care for your furry loved ones right when I get off! With my current situation, I am only able to care for large pets such as dogs in my client’s home. I have a reliable mode of transportation meaning I can drive myself whenever needed. I have plenty of space in an extra room to care for small pets if that is the case!

Also, I will take your pup for walks for every 2-4 hrs and follow the diet as specified by the owner. Can only take care of friendly pups. In summer time, will make sure to take them for walks no longer than 15 minutes once in the morning and in the late evening.
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Kristen was amazing with Sterling! She was kind, communicative, and totally in tune with his quirks. I loved getting photo updates, and it was clear she treated him like her own. He came back happy and relaxed. I’d book her again in a heartbeat!”

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was a teenager! I would dog sit for my cousin every weekend and I absolutely loved it. Dogs have been family to me for a really long time. I would love to have the honor to care for your dog and consider them family while they are under my care! I am currently unemployed, so I have literally all day to care for your dog! I work out in the morning (typically between 10 and 11am), so that is the only time when scheduling may become an issue for me. I also am looking into purchasing my own dog, so the more I can care for yours, the more I can get an understanding of the full responsibility that comes with dog ownership. I have a very spacious apartment that your dog will enjoy should they need to stay with me. I have dog sat in my apartment before and there is plenty of room to play small games of catch and tug of war!! If crating is necessary, I have ample amount of space for a crate.

About: There is something sooo special about cats and dogs. I try and read their minds and it’s fun. I’m super affectionate but also understand that each one of them are different and deserve the connection they require to be happy and to feel supported -and entertained. I can manage a flexible schedule. I’m flexible in general. I can take care of other duties needed while I’m caring for your home and pets. Weekends I’d be primarily be stationed at the client’s home and during the week, it depends on the day/s. I am a quiet person who likes to read, write and create. Being around animals does something for my soul and is why I am looking for pets to care for. I will accommodate what is needed for you to be able to continue the love and support your pets get from you while you are away.
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!

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.

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 September 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 September 2026, there are 6,809 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.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.
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
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
