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 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 have owned pets my whole life and have a passion for taking care of furry friends! I began sitting for friends and neighbors when I was really young and grew up helping my grandmother and aunt who both ran their own doggy daycare and sitting businesses. I am well versed in dog walking, stopping in to check on pups, and overnight stays. While I am most experienced in smaller to medium sized dogs I have watched over all types of breeds and I am confident in taking care of any dog! I currently have a part time job that only takes up about 6-7 hours a week. I am extremely flexible and available early mornings and late nights. Pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities! I make sure to create a clean, safe, and comfortable environment to make sure your dog feels at home. I am extremely attentive and take care instructions very seriously. I will always ensure that your dog receives the right amount of supervision, exercise, and affection!

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!

About: Hi!! :) My name is Serena, I love animals with all my heart! I’m the go to dog sitter for my best friend’s Husky & Shepard who is a tripod (3 legged king). I used to volunteer at Pasado’s Safehaven in Washington, and my favorite thing was to bottle feed the cows! I’ve also fed & changed swan bedding on the swan committee, fostered a bob cat, squirrels, horses, and birds. For personal pets I have experience with dogs, cats, hamsters, parakeets, canaries, cockatiels, leopard geckos, anoles, hermit crabs, tarantulas, various fish and aquatic critters/plants. I’m HOME: Mondays,Tuesdays,Wednesdays,Thursdays. In OFFICE: Friday 7:30-4:30pm, Saturday 8am-5pm w/ 1 hour lunch breaks to check on your pet! I also have a pet cam I can talk to them, send you pics, and dispense treats :) I will make sure we do a meet and greet so we can discuss any specific needs/safety concerns you might have! I have a lot of space and working from home makes frequent checks as simple as looking over from my work desk. My apartment unit is also directly across from the complex dog park and a large grass area! I have one cat, but she’s anti social so she would be kept separate in another room to enjoy her peace and quiet

About: I have always loved being around dogs and have plenty of hands on experience caring for them. I regularly pet sit for dogs in my building and take them on walks, making sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and love. I also have a golden retriever puppy of my own, so I’m very comfortable with the energy, patience, and responsibility that comes with taking care of a dog. I’m reliable, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and making sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while their owners are away. Im currently an online student and so im usually pretty free which provides me with a lot of time to hang out with the dogs! I live in a nice apartment and my building has a pet play area that’s always empty and a place for them to run around as well as a lot of trails for long walks!

About: Hello! My name is Emilie and I have been caring for animals my entire life. I received my first dog (a lab) as a birthday gift at 5 years old and loved every minute of it. Since then, our family has gotten two more dogs (another lab and a Lhasa Maltese) and two bunnies. I love animals so much I started working at a veterinary clinic. Here I dealt with a large variety of animals, from ferrets to birds, including dogs and cats of all sizes, breeds, needs, and temperaments. I am PetTech (PetSaver) certified and trained in CPR, First aid, and care and can provide the certification upon request. I have an extensive background in administering many different medications (as well as oral vaccines). I also have trained several dogs in the past. Many around me know of my passion for animals, thus being how I became known as the neighborhood animal sitter, sitting nearly a half dozen neighborhood pets alone. I have cared for and pet-sat neighborhood animals including dogs, cats, Guinea pigs, and fish for a number of years. I share a deep connection and understanding with every animal I meet, being the reason I am on this app. To spend more time doing what I love- meeting and providing top care for your fur babies. I am self-employed, so I welcome day time drop-in visits requests. I find working with animals to be very rewarding and fulfilling to me. I am looking to set up reoccurring daily and/or weekly pet care. I would love to get to know several animals very well and provide them quality care on a consistent basis. However, I am also open to short term care situations. For any other requests or questions, Please let me know. If you would like pet care for a time that I am not available on my calendar, please contact me to see what we can do. As of now, I do not offer pet care at my house. However, I am open to come to your house to keep your animal relaxed and comfortable in their own home. When at your home, your animal will receive the most exceptional care and treatment possible. I treat everyone's animal as if they are my own. I also treat your home with respect, ensuring I follow your directions as well as clean up after both myself and your pet. If you allow, I would love to spoil your pet with their favorite treats, activities, and mental stimulation/engagement. I enjoy providing picture updates for my clients. I can make just about any time work with a notice in advance. In hopes of doing this nearly full time, I would love to fill my week completely with pet sitting Monday-Friday. Having owned pets as well as having worked at a vet clinic, I prioritize keeping a close eye on each critter I watch. I know how important each individal animal's wellbeing is and how quickly that could change. I feel confident that I am always hyper-aware of animals' saftey and keep the closest eye on them and their health, as I know what to watch for.

About: I've been hosting dogs & cats through Rover.com for several years now, and it's been a tremendously rewarding experience. While I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, I have only 2 cats right now. They both like dogs, especially my leash-trained therapy cat who likes everybody. The cats are never aggressive, but a very high-energy impolite dog could get a left-hook if they're not careful. Calmer dogs used to cats are a great fit. Take your next vacation with peace of mind; knowing your pooch is safe, happy, and getting plenty of attention and playtime! I have yet to have a guest that didn’t bond to me almost immediately…it’s like they can sense that I am an easy source of belly rubs and treats! While I have plenty of amateur training experience with dogs and cats, I am in the process of earning a "Good Pup" training certification through Rover, so for a limited time am offering some basic obedience training with boarding or daycare. Please don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions you might have about my home, experience, or schedule. I work from my home office during the week, and extra canine/feline company is always welcomed. I have a small fenced-in yard for potty breaks whenever the need arises. There's usually no problem accommodating specific daily feeding/walk schedules with some advance notice. Your furry children will be very comfortable in my North Tempe town-home, where I live alone in a conveniently located 'dog-friendly' neighborhood near Papago Park. Many of my guests drop off and pick up on the way to/from Sky Harbor Airport, which is about 15 minutes away (about 5.5 miles). I'm within walking distance of the local dog park, if that's something you & your dog are comfortable with.

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.

Kristen has been our walker for a few years now and she is always amazing! We have a 75lb German Shepherd Labrador mix that is very energetic and cat reactive. We worry about other people handling her, especially because we have a lot of stray cats in our neighborhood, but we never have to worry about her with Kristen. She is communicative, reliable and most importantly takes wonderful care of our dog! I highly recommend her services :)

When Jaden showed up for our meet and greet with Romeo and myself, I was very impressed. He came dressed casual professionally, he was very polite and respectful, and Romeo instantly bonded with him. On their first walk together, he asked me if I wanted to walk Romeo for the full 30 minutes because of the heat which I appreciated. He also sent me pictures of their walk. I’m very impressed with him and hope to continue using his services during his time at ASU.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Tempe

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Tempe is $22 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $31 per walk. On Rover, walkers 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 October 2026, there are 6,713 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 bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Tempe after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the 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.

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 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

walkers on Rover set their own , 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 walker.
