“Marie went above and beyond to take care of our dogs and our house while we were away. She is extremely thoughtful and handles every aspect of watching our dogs with care. We will definitely be requesting her again in the future!”
“This was Cedell’s second stay with my two dogs, and she was a total pro. One of my dogs was quite ill right before I left, requiring a complex medication schedule and extra attention. Cedell didn't hesitate to step in and handled the high-volume medical needs perfectly. It’s such a relief to have a sitter you can trust with more intensive care. I’m so grateful for her help!”
“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!”
“Hanna did a great job communicating her schedule and checking in with photos of my pup so I knew she was happy and at ease the whole time. Hanna was also very respectful of my home, leaving it clean and neat while staying over.”
“Took great care of my high energy dog while away for the Holiday weekend. My dog has some separation anxiety issues so I wanted to make him feel more comfortable by staying in his safe place as a recent rescue. I came home to a very happy dog.”
“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.”
“Marianne went above and beyond during her stay. We had a shelf randomly break and she spent one evening cleaning that all up, she picked up dog piles, and she even stayed into the middle of the night when we had a travel delay so that the pups wouldn’t be alone too long. Very friendly and communicative!”
“This is our 2nd time using Cat for our 2 dogs and 1 cat. She sent multiple pictures a day and we came home to our apartment cleaner than before we left! We have a sassy dog and Cat was able to get her to be held within a minute of meeting again! I will definitely be using her again. :)”
“Jadon cared for our dog Jasper for 10 day stretch while we were on vacation. He sent daily pics, kept Jasper active and well taken care of. He communicates timely and the house was immaculately clean when we got back! Highly recommended!”
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. Now, I have a bearded dragon named, Vermithor. 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. ***Rover does not have an option for other animals besides cats and dogs for care giving, so if you would like my assistance with any scaley, fishy, or winged family members then please message me to let me know what kind of family member you have and I will gladly help out<3 We would just have to use Zelle*** 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.
“I’m so happy to find Svetlana! I’m returned from my trip to a peaceful home and happy pups. She sent me photos and updates often, which really put my mind at ease. She walked my ridgeback everyday and I know that made him so happy. I will be booking Svetlana in the future and highly recommend her if you’re looking for someone trustworthy and reliable to take care of your fur babies.”
“Allie was a fantastic dog sitter for our very fearful adult dog. She was patient, loving, and persistent without pushing too much. We got lots of photos and videos while we were away, and we came home to a clean house and a happy dog. We feel so lucky to have found Allie and will definitely have her dog and house sit again in the future.”
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.
“Audrey was very kind, responsive, and great for our little last minute fiasco. The pups really seemed to enjoy their time with her and we were able to enjoy the day not worrying about the care our pups were provided!”
“Desiree is pawsitively amazing! This was my third time entrusting her with my fur baby, and she never disappoints. She's so great and I'd pick her for dog sitting anytime! I'm over the moon grateful for her top-notch care. Thanks a million, Desiree!”
About: I've been caring for dogs and cats for more than 20 years, and spending time with animals has always been one of my favorite things. Over the years, I've cared for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities—from playful Chihuahuas and energetic puppies to gentle Huskies, senior pets, and independent cats. What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give each pet. I take the time to get to know their unique personality, routines, and preferences so they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having a calm and reassuring presence nearby, I'm happy to meet them where they are. I'm experienced with senior pets who need extra patience and care, including administering medications and following special routines. I'm also comfortable with puppies who are still learning and need consistency, supervision, and lots of positive reinforcement. As a pet parent myself, I know how important it is to feel connected when you're away from your furry family member. That's why I provide regular updates, photos, and quick communication so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind and make sure your pet feels happy, comfortable, and cared for as if they were my own.

My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind and make sure your pet feels happy, comfortable, and cared for as if they were my own. In My Home: When your pet stays with me, they become part of the family. I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where pets can relax and feel at home. My fully fenced backyard offers plenty of space for supervised outdoor play, fresh air, and potty breaks, with both grass and shaded areas to keep pets comfortable. We're also conveniently located near parks and walking trails, making it easy to provide regular exercise and enrichment. Because I work from home full-time, pets are rarely left alone and receive plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day. I maintain each pet's normal feeding, walking, and sleeping schedule as closely as possible to help reduce stress and make their stay feel familiar. Safety is always my top priority, and I take the time to learn each pet's needs, preferences, and any special instructions before their stay. In Your Home: When caring for your pet in their own home, my goal is to keep their routine consistent and their environment stress-free. I follow all feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication instructions, and household guidelines to ensure your pet receives the same level of care they're accustomed to. I understand that trust is essential when welcoming someone into your home, so I treat every home with the utmost respect and care. I'll keep you updated with photos, messages, and regular check-ins so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. Whether it's a walk, drop-in visit, daycare, or overnight house sitting, I strive to provide dependable care and lots of love while you're away.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Tempe
Courtney always goes above and beyond with Wendy! She sent me lots of pictures and played with her so much. She is caring and loving of all animals and amazing with dogs. Wendy is shy and skeptical if she doesn’t know someone, but she has adored Courtney since the moment they met.
Brianna was perfect. She was booked last minute and I had almost no time to get her up to speed. But there were absolutely no worries. Bitsy was cared for as if she was her own. I would definitely use her again. She was attentive to all Bitsy’s needs and kept me informed daily. Thank you !
Claudia was the absolute best! I had used Rover in the past for boarding services but this was my first time having someone stay in my home. I was very nervous going into it but upon my first meeting with Claudia I felt at ease. She was friendly and communicative from the start. She asked questions and I felt reassured that she was very responsible. While away the communication continued and she sent lots of pictures. She was quick to make us aware of something that might be a concern and I appreciated her being proactive and attentive. Would 100% use Claudia again and hope she can become our regular Rover!
Rozanne was incredibly patient and compassionate with our anxious pup, taking the time to build his trust and ensure he felt comfortable and relaxed. She also provided excellent care for our 13-year-old pug, giving us complete peace of mind while we were away. We came home to a spotless house, which reflected the pride and attention to detail she puts into her work. We truly appreciate the exceptional care she provided and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and dedicated pet sitter.
Amanda was incredible. From the moment we met & did a meet and greet all throughout her stay with our 2 YO golden and 9 YO cat, she was responsive, diligent, and so loving to our animals! She sent pictures multiple times a day & loved on our pets so much! We will absolutely be booking her again. We are so grateful we found a wonderful sitter!
Zack did an excellent job caring for our babies. He was communicative throughout the entire stay, followed all of our instructions carefully, and gave us great peace of mind while we were away. We were especially impressed with the care he provided to our senior diabetic dog. Zack handled insulin injections and other medications confidently and reliably, which was incredibly important to us. It's clear he genuinely cares about the pets he looks after. Thank you for taking such great care of Graham and Winslow. They absolutely loved you, and we would not hesitate to book with you again in the future. Highly recommended!

FAQs for House Sitting - Tempe
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Tempe on Rover is $43.29 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 5,026 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.
