“Aleksandra took great care of my cat Nutterbutter and she sent lots of pictures and videos while we were away! Highly recommend and we will most definitely be requesting Aleksandra!”
“Taylor was very positive and communicative so I always knew how Hank was doing. There were no issues with the house and everything went smoothly. I plan to use Taylor on a regular basis for overnight trips.”
“James did a wonderful job! Took wonderful care of my three doodles, and wonderful care of my home. I have one rescue that is hyper, anxious, and James was gentle and loving with her. All three of my dogs enjoyed James‘s presence, which is calm, quiet and gentle. I would highly recommend James! And I will most definitely have James come back when I need a pet sitter again.”
“Kaitlyn did a great job house sitting and taking care of my dog Apollo! She kept me updated, took great care of him, and left everything in great shape. I’d definitely have her watch Apollo again!”
“Anna did an amazing job taking care of my babies. She also helped with training Holly on the use of the doggie door. The house was left neatl and clean. I will use her again in the future.”
“Julia made us feel very comfortable throughout her stay with our puppy. She would send us messages and respond back promptly whenever we communicated. She also left the house very clean, which was a nice bonus on top of our dog being cared for so well!”
“Teal was absolutely wonderful with Barley and Angus! From the very beginning, his communication was excellent, and he kept us updated throughout the house sitting, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear how enthusiastic and genuinely caring he was about the dogs, and they absolutely loved him! Knowing that our pups were happy, well cared for, and in such good hands made our trip so much more relaxing. Teal was responsible, attentive, and a pleasure to work with. We would absolutely hire him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their pets!”
“Marianne has watched our house & pups twice now! She is a great pup sitter as well as house sitter. We will continue to use Marianne when we are out of town!”
About: I have had cats and dogs for all my life and love to meet others’ pets. I have a knack for making all animals comfortable with me right off the bat (and sometimes making their owners jealous with how much they like me). I always listen to the needs and wants of the pets, especially those who may be more shy and need some space. I work part time and remote so I will have lots of flexibility to drop in on pets and stay around to keep them company. I always let animals dictate their comfort levels and how much space they need then slowly work to gain trust as needed. Once we are connected, I love to give them all the attention they want.
“I was planning on boarding Olive when I went away thinking it would be a nice place but when I went and toured 6 days before leaving it was not what I imagined. I needed a sitter quickly and Joseph was very responsive and eager to help out, coming to meet my pup and immediately made me feel comfortable leaving her with him. While he watched her I received many updates and pics of how she was doing, which included some of her misbehaving which I appreciated because it made me know he was being open and honest. I will definitely be booking him in the future!”
“Nicole is so kind and friendly, provides frequent updates, detailed care, and helped us out in a pinch. I can’t recommend her enough. She asked great questions to ensure care was consistent and correct, which was important as we have a senior, special needs dog with an extremely complicated med regimen. The house was left in excellent condition and I never felt like I was waiting for the next update. If you want excellent pet care, hire Nicole.”
About: Hello, my name is Lorissa! I currently have two male cats named Waffles and Nelson, who is a new kitten to the family. I also have two betta fish, a boy named Lamont and his sister, April. In the past I have had a Siberian husky named Angelica. I love animals and can’t wait to someday adopt a dog. On occasion I have watched my friend’s Australian shepherd, Riley and drop ins for a family friend’s two cats. I would love to continue working with pets. I have always loved being near animals and learning about each pet I have come across. I am available to take care of your pet in your home and give walks around the neighborhood. Please feel free to contact me anytime. I am looking forward to start working with pets again! I am currently working full time with 12-13 hour shifts so I have availability in the mornings before my shifts or after shifts. I can do morning, afternoon or evening visits on weekends. Caring for pets in my home or a client’s home includes play time as well as giving them food and water. I will also take your dog out of a walk and to go potty.
“Torrie took great care of our boys! She was very communicative with us, respectful of our home, and loved on our boys during the weekend. I’d recommend her to anyone who needs pet care!”
“Steph did a great job house sitting for my senior cat who needs oral meds. She kept me updated and sent pictures throughout my trip. It was nice to have peace of mind while I was away for the weekend!”
“María José was a wonderful caretaker for our dog, Pepper! She stayed at our apartment with Pepper throughout our 5 day trip and took amazing care of our pup. María José sent so mahy pictures, gave frequent and thorough updates and made sure our dog was loved and cared for. We could not recommend her enough!”
“Alexis watched our three pups while we were away getting married. She was so great with them and sent lots of pictures and updates. She stayed in our home, and left it cleaner than it was when she arrived!! We could tell the dogs were happy and comfortable with her, and that allowed us to enjoy our special weekend! She even left us the sweetest congratulatory card! We will definitely be using her again for the honeymoon and any other trips we take!”
“Tabbitha is the best, most communicative and warm pet sitter! I feel very confident my little dog is being treated kindly and cared for while I am away. I highly recommend this very trustworthy pet sitter.”

Nancy took wonderful care of Wilson and gave me complete peace of mind while away. Wilson was well cared for and received her medicine each morning, and Nancy also took great care of my home.

Brianna was a terrific pet sitter! She provided excellent communication by being very quick to respond and sending daily photos/videos of our cats which made us feel a lot more comfortable knowing that they were doing well. She played with them a lot and kept them entertained. We felt confident on our trip knowing that Brianna was watching our cats and would recommend hiring her to anybody!
Todd was fantastic! We had a long trip out of the company and were looking for someone who was available to be here most of the time with our two dogs and he was the perfect fit. He sent lots of pictures and updates and we felt confident throughout our time away that our girls were in great hands. We will definitely use Todd for future trips

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Tempe on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 5,114 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Tempe. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Tempe walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Tempe maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Tempe choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Tempe. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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.
