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: Hello! I go by Mariah or Eclipse and I'm a lifelong animal lover with over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for pets of most breeds, sizes, and ages. From high-energy to senior dogs & cats, I know how to make every animal feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their humans are away. I treat every pet I care for like my own because I know how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your fur babies. What you can expect from me is: • Personalized attention and updates (photos & messages every visit!) • Reliable, responsible care and clear communication • Experience with medication administration, leash training, and special needs pets • A calm, loving presence that helps animals feel right at home Whether you need a safe place for your pet to be during the workday, overnight care, walks, or just someone to drop by and give your pet some love, I’m here to provide! I look forward to hearing from you!! I’m a parent to a senior pug with disabilities, he requires meds & love and sure doesn’t like me being away from home so I keep my work days to a minimum. I am independent hairstylist (I make my own schedule and don’t commit to more than 5 hours in a day or 3 days a week in salon). I can provide a large soft crate if your fur baby needs it; I can adapt easily to your home to care for them however they need!
About: Ive raised hunting dogs, farm dogs, and right now 2 indoor apartment dogs. From raising puppies to assisting the elderly I have taken care of dogs. I will care for any dog the way I care for my own. I am currently a stay at home father while my wife is in medical school. I have 2 dogs 2 fish tanks and an axolotl taking care of pets has just become routine. Both of our dogs are kennel trained and we walk them frequently. If you have a yard that works as well if you prefer to have them walked I would be delighted.

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 am extremely flexible since I am in a hybrid program for classes, so all of my didactic/classroom work is fully online and accessible from anywhere and anytime! I do work Friday mornings from 8am-12pm and may not be available some weekends since I work every third weekend minimum. Otherwise, I’m completely flexible and will always try to work with you! 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.
“Nancy has been walking my chihuahua Lily for over a year now and has been outstanding in every way! She is punctual, friendly, energetic, and a pleasure to work with. Lily loves their walks and does zoomies when she sees Nancy has come to get her!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and can’t imagine a day without them. I also loved and cared for a cat while growing up! Since 2018, I’ve owned and trained my Labrador, including obedience work and therapy dog certification. He enjoys daily walks and hikes with me, keeping me active and in tune with his needs. I’ve also cared for many different breeds and sizes from medium dogs to larger dogs such as a German Shepherd, Pitbull, and even a Great Dane. I would help with walks, playtime, and training. In college, I volunteered at an animal shelter, where I gave dogs exercise, socialization, and comfort while they waited for homes. I bring patience, love, and reliability to every pet I care for! While my weekday availability is limited to mornings or evenings, I’m happy to offer walks and drop-ins on weekends when you need extra support for your pets. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets and home. I always make sure walks are safe and enjoyable, keeping your pets secure and happy. During drop-ins, I will carefully follow your instructions and make sure your pets’ needs are fully met. I go above and beyond to give them attention, playtime, and care so they feel happy, comfortable, and loved, and I leave your home just the way you want it.

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 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.

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 have lengthy experience with crate training, high energy dogs, and the dogs who just want to be loved and sat down with.

About: Hi! I'm Mckenna, a junior at Arizona State University studying Sports Business. When I'm not in class, playing on ASU's club soccer team, or working at Grass Clippings Rolling Hills, I love spending time outside—and I think every walk is better with a dog by your side! I've grown up with dogs my entire life, so caring for them has always come naturally to me. I taught my childhood dog several tricks and would take him on daily walks whenever I was home. Over the years, I've also cared for many friends' and family's dogs and cats, giving me experience with pets of different personalities and energy levels.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Tempe
Kristen was really great with my baby. She definitely understood his energy levels and was able to roll with a brief change in his food. She was also very responsive and good at communicating. Great with my dog. I will definitely be calling her again if I ever need coverage for his walks.

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.

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%.

The average cost of Dog Walking in Tempe is $22 per walk as of November 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 November 2026, there are 6,719 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 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 a map of the walking route, 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.
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.

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 Meet & Greet.
walkers 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 walker.
