“This was my first time leaving Aloy with anyone else, ever(!!!) and Micaela made it such a easy and simple process. :) I got tons of pictures throughout the day to let me know she was okay. Aloy loved her stay there and even made a friend. I'll definitely use her service again!”
“Susan was so caring and considerate of Chico! With his separation anxiety, it’s always a little challenging to leave him with someone new, but Susan kept him occupied and comfortable, and all three of us (me, husband and Chico) are so appreciative!”
About: I have been a dog lover all my life when I was a little girl in Florida we had so many dogs throughout my childhood it sparked my passion for loving and caring for our little and big furry family members❤️🥰☺️ I remember when I was 9 or 10 after I went to see the nut cracker as a little girl I saw a cute stray bog and I begged my mom to pull over and get him because he looked lonely and I really wanted him so bad and my mom did it and we put posters up for him and no one claimed him so I begged my parents to keep him after a few days of begging my dad finally said yes and that’s how I rescued my first dog. Then when me and my husband moved to Arizona a few months later someone in my moms neighborhood needed to rehome a little cute dog and I said yes to my mom and when my husband go home I told him we got a big and that same day we got our little Miss Miss and we have loved her ever since and I have been care for my family’s dog since I was a little girl and I have loved it since ❤️❤️☺️ I will be pretty much be available to watch ur fur babies at any time you need me to Even on holiday because our fur babies always need love I will care for your dog like they are apart of my family.they will get plenty of love,walks, and snuggles. And if they need to be crated I will do that 2 and your dogs will never be left alone when I’m watching them me or my husband will be there along with our little fur baby Missy
About: I love watching fur babies and have been doing so since last five years. I would love and care your pup as my own. I am stay at home person whom you can easily rely on taking care of your lovely pup when you are on vacation/work. Feel free to drop a message to reserve a time. Currently, I cannot accept if your pup is Pitbull/mix with Pitbull, Rottweiler, Dobermann. I can dedicate my time to take care of your pup at least for 2-3 hrs a day/night. I can pick up/ drop off if i am available at that time. I have a fenced backyard where your pup can play and enjoy some fresh air. 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.
“Cindy is fantastic. Our dog spent a few workdays while one of us was traveling, and he clearly felt comfortable and happy while at the same time Cindy provided a structured, calm, and enriching environment for him. He got walks and puzzles and even another dog friend to play with on occasion. Cindy was very patient, attentive, and kind. She has an excellent confident demeanor and establishes boundaries effectively and naturally with the pups. I would recommend Cindy in a heartbeat.”
About: For that “Your experience” section, I’d make it more focused on why someone should trust you as a sitter: I’ve cared for pets of all ages, from my dog Spencer, who I had for 11 years, to my one-year-old cat Summit, who I adopted from the Arizona Humane Society. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every pet like my own. I love giving them plenty of attention, playtime, and affection while making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I could only care for cats because my roommates are comfortable with that.They do take care of themself in a way but I do have school online so it would be easy to watch your cute little fur ball critter! I treat pets with love and understanding. I understand when pets needs to eat and they need to play with their toys. And I enjoy giving them that!
“Sara was so sweet and calm personality, my dog looked so happy when I pick him up. She was very responsive and sent pictures of Byron and a video, I recommend Sara for any future services. We definitely will.”
“Melissa helped me out last minute when I needed someone same-day. She was really quick to communicate and flexible. After arriving it was really clear to me that she’s the kind of person who just ‘gets’ dogs. My little guy can be a little slow to warm up to people and get comfortable, but he seemed immediately right at home in her house. She kind of just has that calming energy that dogs seem to click with. I also loved how ideal her house is for dogs with the doggy door and backyard. Nothing but good things to say—I wouldn’t hesitate to book again!”
About: I’ve taken care of family friends and neighbors pets for years! I have watched every animal - from dogs and cats to lizards and snakes, and love every moment of it. I’ve always had pets at home and I love fur-babies more than anything! I have trained 3 puppies and around 5 kittens! I am currently a college student, but with my schedule, I am able for walking or check-ins almost any time of the week! Weekends are completely open besides Sundays 12-2. I always ensure that my clients homes look better than I found it! I understand everyone has a different way of raising their animals and I respect any training or specifications given to me. I am comfortable with just about anything for pets!
About: Hi, we’re Zach and Maddie! We are true dog lovers! We both grew up with dogs our whole lives and have cared for many others through friends, family, and other clients. That means we’re comfortable with a wide variety of breeds, sizes, ages, personalities, and of course, their favorite scratch spots. We genuinely love being around dogs and miss having them in our daily lives—which is the reason we started Rover! Since we both live together and work from home, your dog gets double the care, attention, and supervision throughout the day—basically 2-for-1 pet care! This also means your dog will rarely, if ever, be left alone during their stay. We live in a spacious 3-bedroom, 2-bath home with a backyard in Scottsdale 85251. We provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, cuddles, and care based on your dog’s routine. We’re reliable, communicative, and always send photos and updates. We’ll treat your pet like our own and make sure they feel right at home! :) We both work from home, so at any given time there’s almost always at least one of us home. Your dog will get plenty of attention and will rarely, if ever, be left alone! All dogs are welcome to hang out wherever they like—whether that’s on the couch, sleeping with us in bed, or anywhere else they feel comfortable! We also have a spacious fenced backyard with a grass area. We keep our home nice and cool, especially during the summer, so you never have to worry about your dog overheating.

About: I have had two doggies of my own and love spending time with any fur babies. I think they are adorable and I enjoy taking them on walks and playing. I have experience with puppies and adult dogs. At the time I am a student working to pay of loans. I would love the opportunity to have fun with dogs and get paid. It sounds like a dream. I have a fenced yard with some grass as well as multiple leashes and a crate. I can walk them around my neighborhood and to the park so they can play and run.
“Really awesome experience with them! My 9 month old dog has done both daycare and overnight boarding. My pup always has so much fun and comes back exhausted. They are super kind and genuinely care about the well being of your dog. Great communicators and just overall so grateful I found folks I can trust with my baby.”
“a really great experience for my senior 14-year-old dog Lexi, and it’s great to know someone like Candice is in the area in case we need doggy daycare again. This was a last-minute request and I appreciate that Candice accommodated our time and even managed to add on a bath that we had requested if she had time. Our pup came home happy, clean, and well fed. Thanks Candice 🐾”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Tempe
Tasha was very caring and conscientious - she took excellent care of Lucy, provided us with regular updates, and was very pleasant and reliable to communicate with. We especially appreciated how calm she and her household is, and that she got to know our dog as an individual special being, not just ‘a dog’. I would highly recommend Tasha to anyone looking for a safe, loving caretaker for their furry family member.
Paige was incredible with my anxious, high-energy little guy. He’s been fearful of grass, but she encouraged him and he had his very first brave yard adventure! Seeing the happy photos she sent meant everything. He’s also very cuddly, and she gave him all the snuggles he needed. I felt completely at ease the whole time. He was safe, loved, and so well cared for. Paige has a beautiful home, a beautiful yard and is very communicative. Highly recommend!
We can’t even leave enough stars to say how amazing Ashley was!! We were so lucky to find her and so grateful she was willing to jump in at the last second for us! She is super sweet and you can tell just how much she loves all pups. Her communication was beyond excellent and Cooper told us he wants to go visit her and his new fur friends again very soon! We are so excited to have someone nearby that we can completely trust with our kiddo in the future. If you’re looking don’t hesitate - book her before anyone else does!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Tempe is $39 per day as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $59 per day. On Rover, sitters 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 2,570 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Tempe. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Tempe commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
As of October 2026, there are 2,570 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of AZ. Enter your address or desired location to see which available sitters are closest to you.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in AZ ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Every sitter 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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
