“Definitely would recommend!!! My Daisy is very attached to me and has never been in someone else's care. The 2nd day when she got out of car she ran up to the door and couldn’t wait to dart in not even looking back at me. I got several updates & photos throughout the day. Will be booking with Christian & Hana again!”
“What can I say except at Cynthia is incredible! Oliver gets so excited as soon as he sees that we are turning onto her street. I’m always at peace when he’s with her because I know that she’s giving him all of the love, snuggles and playtime that he wants and needs. I could ask for a better person to care for my little guy!”
“Dominique is always so good with our dog Juniper, and Juniper really likes her! She is always prompt in replying, she sends updates and she is always happy to see Juniper. Dominique is great!”
“Laree and Keith were very patient and flexible with my work schedule and short notice scheduling. They cared for my Cairn Terrier after a CCL repair (surgery). Surgeons instructions state no running or jumping, and only allowed very minimal walking, primarily staying in a kennel. They were familiar with and able to accommodate these restrictions. He was nervous and shaking about being left with strangers on the first day, but was much more at ease with drop off on day two. I will be using Laree and Keith again this weekend and will use them again in the future. Thank you!”
“Rachael was sweet and friendly. Very responsive to all messages. I was delayed dropping him off and she had no problems. She also sent me a video to show how the evening was going. She truly seems to care about dogs. Teddy really enjoyed his stay with her.”

“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.”
“Nicole watched Pepperjac as a puppy for some time and then we needed a sitter again a specific week months later. Pepperjac recognized the neighborhood and got so excited to be back with Nicole. We know she is taken care of, happy and safe during her stay. Great communication and updates as well. We appreciate you Nicole.”

About: I have worked in dog grooming for years and have a lot of knowledge. I have also watched clients dogs from when I worked in dog grooming. I am a college student home for break and I am completely open whenever you would need me and I have two dogs of my own. I currently have two pitties and a snake who I take care of. While i was working in grooming, I had a client who I would watch his dog on the side as well.
“Emily was great with my dog Gojo! He had so much fun playing with her dog Peppa. She updated me on how he was doing throughout the day and sent pictures of his stay. He came home after a day of fun tired and it was reassuring to know he was in the care of an amazing sitter. I would definitely book again!”
“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!”
“Thank you, Chelsea, for being accommodating with our schedule and flexible with the scheduling details. Our 17 pound dog had a great time being with your dog and one other. He will sleep good tonight! We appreciate you!!”
About: I am here for all the little doggies. I have a teacup yorkie myself. Small dogs need a safe place to be loved. Where their little egos can be fed and they can get all the cuddles needed while away from their family. I have a good size backyard, but they aren't allowed out there without supervision for their safety. My neighborhood has beautiful walking paths for daily walks. We have enough room where your dog could have a safe place of their own if he needed at nighttime. I do daily walks with my dog that your dog could join if they like. I work from home full-time so potty breaks and cuddles could be frequent if needed. Also because I work from home, if your dog prefers 3 smaller meals a day I can accommodate that type of scheduled. I would accommodate any diet schedule/accommodations needed. Some medications I could administer if needed. Your dog would get at least one walk per day. Nice backyard for them to play in. Back yard is fully fenced and does not have a pool.
“Matia always does a great job with Bear. Her home is a playground for dogs with lots of toys & a doggy door for outdoor access. She loves to play with him & he comes home tired after multiple games of fetch & tug of war. Highly recommend.”
“Rachel and her kids did such an amazing job taking care of Ollie and Kitty, they walked the dogs and she sent us photos and kept us updated throughout each day! The dogs came home pooped each day we picked them up. We would not hesitate to book her again! Thanks so much Rachel for taking such good care of our dogs!”
“Rojo and Angela were phenomenal hosts for our high energy 9 month old Golden Retriever's first daycare experience! Communication was excellent and the attention to detail was superb. We will definitely repeat!”

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!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Tempe on Rover is $38.85 per day (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters 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 sitter.
