About: I LOVE animals, I have a dog and birds who I have been taking care of since I was a kid. I have experience pet sitting for family and friends, so I am very comfortable taking care of animals. I have always been the type of person who hangs out with the dog instead of people at parties, so spending time with animals makes me genuinely happy! I am looking for a way to make some extra money during the summer while I’m in nursing school, so I am available pretty much every day/ all day the next couple months :) When caring for pets in someone else’s home, I like to make sure they are comfortable, and that they are kept on a similar routine as they normally are. I’ll provide fresh food and water, let them outside, give them attention, and clean up as needed. I also pay attention to any extra instructions given by the owner.
“Taylor was very good with my dog and was super helpful when I had a sudden schedule change during the week. I really appreciated her picking up the walks when my usual walker was out of town.”

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I currently have two dogs of my own, including my rescue beagle, Sawyer, who I’ve had since he was a puppy for the past five years. I also grew up with a senior yellow lab named Cooper, so I understand both puppy energy and the extra patience and care older dogs need. Throughout high school, I regularly dog walked and pet sat for many families, caring for dogs with different temperaments, breeds, and activity levels. I genuinely love being around animals and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for like they are my own. I am currently am free all days of the week anytime to watch and walk your pups! I have open availability and can accommodate most days and time. I provide pet care in clients’ homes so pets can stay comfortable in their normal environment and routine. I’m able to care for both dogs and cats by feeding them, refreshing water, taking dogs on walks, cleaning litter boxes, playing with them, and giving them attention and companionship while their owners are away. I also make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for by sticking to their usual schedule and giving them personalized care based on their needs and personality.

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: Hello! My name is Grace and I am a recent graduate of NAU. I have grown up with animals my whole life and I am friendly, responsible, reliable, and I’ll love your pets like my own! While rover is a source of supplemental income, and I do have a full time job, I am flexible and more than happy to accommodate scheduling needs to the best of my ability. Whether you’re furry friend needs a potty break, a long walk, or someone to check up on them and give them some love, you can count on me to provide quality care! Although I do not offer pet care from my home, I will treat you, your pet, and your home with the utmost care and respect!
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. 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. 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.
“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: I've grown my whole life with animals ranging from rabbits to rats to cats to dogs to horses and sheep! Between helping with the family ranch and helping friends, I'm quite confident in my ability to meet your needs as a customer and friend. Whatever you need, I will provide. I am free all days of week to tend to your furry (or not so furry) friends. My schedule is open and I'm willing to travel to meet you where you need me the most. I follow institutions well and take time to get to know you and your animals. I like to keep a close eye on our friends when possible to make sure they keep out of trouble, and am not afraid to pry their mouths open if something sneaks its way into places it shouldn't <3
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 have walked and dog sat dogs for the last four years. I have walked dogs and stayed at houses for my family, friends and others. I am currently a college student, so my summer is pretty free. I walk my own dog every morning so it would be easy to pick up another dog! I live in town so I have a fenced yard. I also have a kennel if needed. I have a dog who is very friendly.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, among other pets(turtles, hamster, lizard, and many fish) who I have helped to take care of. Right now I have a little kitten named Hobie. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats and love meeting and hanging out with new animals:) I am currently working as a sever part time. I am available every weekday in the morning and some at night. My weekend schedule varies but I normally have weekend mornings off as well. I don’t have the space to care for pets at my home currently. However, I have the availability to stop by often or stay at your home to care for your pets.
About: Caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life. My dog Laila, who was truly my best friend, recently passed away, and home just hasn’t felt the same without her. I know how much pets mean to their families, and I treat every animal like they're my own. My sister is a Rover sitter, and spending time with the dogs she cares for has made me fall in love with this work even more. I love building trust and relationships with every pet I meet, making sure they feel safe, loved, and completely at home, whether it's for a quick visit or an overnight stay. I have experience with dogs with all kinds of personalities, from playful to shy, and I’m always patient, loving, and full of energy to keep your pets happy and cared for! I’m currently home from college for the summer, staying with my parents. I have a part-time job as a cheer camp instructor, but outside of that, I have plenty of free time to dedicate to caring for pets. During the school year, I cheer at ASU, but right now my schedule is super flexible, and I’m excited to spend that extra time giving your pets the love and attention they deserve. We have a spacious home and backyard where pets can play safely and comfortably. If your pet needs medication, I’m experienced and confident in administering it—having cared for my own dog through many health challenges. I make sure every pet gets plenty of playtime, love, and attention in a calm, secure environment where they can feel right at hom

Tempe dog parents share their Rover experiences
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.
