“Shea was AMAZING! She met with me and my cat Willy before the scheduled Rover Kitty Sitting. She was very thorough and we immediately connected. This was our first meeting and I felt completely comfortable giving her a key to my house. She did not disappoint. After she left I found my cat missing her and sleeping in the bedroom she stayed in. That told me a lot about how she cared for Willy. Highly recommend Shea!”
“Leslie was great! Provided great updates and communication through out the stay, left house very clean and spent lots of time playing with Myla. Look forward to having her back again soon!”
About: I have loved animals for as long as I can remember! I am new to the Rover community but I am not new to loving on the pups as I have committed myself to learning the best ways to adapt and give the best care for them. When I come to take care of, play with, and walk your dogs, I will dedicate my time to loving them (which is SO easy for me to do). I would be honored to take them to a dog park where they can also interact with the other puppers while you’re away! While I have had dogs of all sizes my entire life, I do not have any dogs of my own at the moment. This means I am full of energy and love to give to you and yours! I currently work from home part time so I have lots of time and love to give! This is intentional as I would like to spend more of time around the doggos. I am mostly available M-F but can be available on the weekends as needed, spending time with your pup is something I look forward to! My apartment has a dog park for both small and big dogs, as well as a full park just down the street. I do not own a crate of my own at the moment but I am able to set up their home crate in my space if needed.
“Amazing service, as always! Great communication before and during the stay - I always feel so secure getting the regular updates, with photos, a few times a day. (I have let her know that I do like those, although I’m sure if you didn’t want to be bothered she would provide them less frequently.) My home and my pup were both in great shape when I returned. There was a chance my flight may have been delayed and they let me know they were flexible with coming back if needed, which takes a lot of stress out of it. Thanks as always - highly recommended!”
“Amia was a wonderful caretakers for my two needy cats. She responded quickly to any correspondence, and sent lots of pictures! Very responsible and I would definitely ask her to stay here again. I felt very comfortable having her stay at my home.”
“Samantha was great. She took wonderful care of my babies, stayed in touch daily and sent pics. I appreciate being able to be away knowing they were in great hands.”
“Zack did a fantastic job I left him with a page of typed notes for our five very idiosyncratic critters who have specific requirements like the cats get six mouth sized portions of what food a day and our Pitbull who requires just a little bit of walking and he was able to get our very standoffish kitty kitty to come out from under the bed and watch him so he gets an a in my book and he kept us up to date and sent us lots of really good pictures and the cats are not in a bad mood I was prepared to be getting the hate glare but the cats are not angry it is a beautiful thing”
“Sarah took wonderful care of my Italian Greyhound, Zefí, while I was away for four days, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. It was obvious that Zefí was genuinely loved and spoiled with attention—she even got trips to the park for walks and came home happy, relaxed, and content. Knowing she could stay in her own home while being cared for so thoughtfully gave me complete peace of mind. On top of that, I came home to an absolutely immaculate house, which was such a thoughtful touch. Sarah is kind, dependable, and clearly loves the pets she cares for. I would recommend her without hesitation and will absolutely be booking her again.”
“Nicole and Rose were great! They were flexible with some last minute changes to the sitting. They sent updates and pictures for me to see how the pups were doing. They were very kind and great to communicate with. Can’t wait for them to house sit my pups again!”
“Heather is wonderful! Sent pics and updates without being asked. I had complete confidence that she had everything covered without me having to micromanage and trusted her in my home. Will def book again!”
“Nikkole was great! She was very nice and took great care of my fur baby. She was very easy going with my adjustments in schedule! Will definitely use her again when I need someone to watch my dog. Highly recommend!”
“Sophia is very caring and you can tell she loves animals. She sent plenty of pictures and was great about staying in touch while I was away. She even went so far as to bring a “carrier” for my old guy that can’t really go on walks anymore which I thought was really sweet. I’ve already rebooked with her and feel great about her caring for my senior dogs!”
“Cadence is an absolutely wonderful sitter! She has such a natural, calming way with animals and is incredibly sweet. She gave our doodle tons of love and attention the entire time we were away. We highly recommend her and look forward to having her watch our pup next time we are away!”
“Mariia, was an excellent dog sitter at my house while I was gone for a week. She is very energetic and enthusiastic. She communicates daily and provides good picutures and updates about how things are going. I will definitely use Mariia again as I have total trust in her with my dog and house.”
“Allie did a great job taking care of our shy little Maggie. It is obvious she is very caring in the much appreciated pictures and updates she sent while staying with pittie. Our house even seemed cleaner when we returned than when we left! We look forward to booking Allie again soon!”
“Rosa was amazing with my 1 year old Pug at my home! She was very caring and detail oriented, followed my instructions well and left my apartment looking amazing! Definitely recommend:)”
“Anna was a godsend while we were out of town! She stayed at our house and we came back to it cleaner than when we left. She sent updates and pictures every day, which left us feeling at ease so we could fully enjoy our trip. Finding someone to house and pet sit can be stressful, but we are so glad we found Anna. I highly recommend her… we will definitely reach back out when we need a sitter in the future! Thank you, Anna🩷🩷”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have learned a lot through my mom who is a professional dog trainer. I’ve helped her with training, caring for dogs with different personalities and needs, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable following training routines and individual care instructions! I work a regular 9–5 schedule, so I’m generally available after work and on weekends. Please feel free to reach out and ask about my availability! I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment while following each pet’s individual routine and care instructions. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, fresh food and water, and regular bathroom breaks. I’m also happy to follow specific instructions for medications, training, or special needs. I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away

Brian did an excellent job taking care of our 2 Great Danes on a last minute booking! He knew exactly what they needed and provided an environment that kept them safe. And gave us peace of mind that they would be well cared for while we were out of town. We will definitely book again with Brian.
thank you marie again for watching my dog and two cats and keeping them safe while I had major construction happening at home while I also had to go to work! marie was so sweet and attentive to my babies who were all super anxious and sent updates throughout the chaos. she is truly a gem!
Cassie was our lifesaver when we had to find someone to watch our girl asap. Aloy is super shy with strangers typically, but warmed up to Cassie so fast when we first met her! That was huge! We got lots of pictures and updates while we were gone, so we always knew what Aloy was up to and how she was feeling, which made us feel very comfortable despite being so far away. Can't recommend Cassie enough, we'll be booking again! :)
Madison was awesome. My two dogs loved her. She was very caring and had great communication with me all weekend. She sent lots of pictures, which is always so nice. I will definitely use Madison again. I came home to a clean house and a cute note and Polaroid of my girls!
Cassie did an outstanding job caring for my home and my 19-year-old cat while I was away for two weeks. Leaving an elderly pet requires a great deal of trust, and Cassie exceeded my expectations in every way. She was reliable, dependable, and attentive throughout the entire time. Most importantly, my cat was clearly happy, comfortable, and well cared for when I returned. That alone speaks volumes about the quality of her care. I felt at ease knowing my home and pet were in such capable hands. I would highly recommend Cassie to anyone looking for a responsible and compassionate house and pet sitter.
Loved Meridith, and my pups loved her, she kept is well informed and updated with photos. She’s a lovely soul and we felt so comfortable around her, will be definitely booking her again. Boomer and Pearl loved her too, one of the reasons besides her amazing reviews, was a personal recommendation as well as the photos on her you can see the love and happiness in the fur babies. Thank you Meridith
Amanda is truly the best. This is our 2nd time booking her & I feel so lucky we’ve found her! She loves on our pets so much, sends the best photos and updates, and makes me feel at ease when I am away. She is incredible at what she does! We will continue to use her again and again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Tempe on Rover is $43.29 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 5,058 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
- 97% 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.
