“Aleksandra took such great care of my two dogs and left the house in perfect shape. Made leaving the pups so much easier knowing they are in great hands!”
About: Hello! I go by Mariah or Eclipse and I'm a lifelong animal lover with over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for pets of most breeds, sizes, and ages. From high-energy to senior dogs & cats, I know how to make every animal feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their humans are away. I treat every pet I care for like my own because I know how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your fur babies. What you can expect from me is: • Personalized attention and updates (photos & messages every visit!) • Reliable, responsible care and clear communication • Experience with medication administration, leash training, and special needs pets • A calm, loving presence that helps animals feel right at home Whether you need a safe place for your pet to be during the workday, overnight care, walks, or just someone to drop by and give your pet some love, I’m here to provide! I look forward to hearing from you!! I’m a parent to a senior pug with disabilities, he requires meds & love and sure doesn’t like me being away from home so I keep my work days to a minimum. I am independent hairstylist (I make my own schedule and don’t commit to more than 5 hours in a day or 3 days a week in salon). I can provide a large soft crate if your fur baby needs it; I can adapt easily to your home to care for them however they need!
“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!”
“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!”
“Kim always does a great job, we know our dog is in great hands with her. She takes great care of our home and leaves everything very tidy. We get lots of photos and updates during her stays. This most recent stay, we had our Internet go out right before she was due to stay and wasn’t going to be fixed during the stay, she was willing to be flexible and have Cooper at her place while working. Will definitely use again!”
“Mariju took amazing care of our two dogs. She sent great pictures throughout her stay, left the house in beautiful condition, walked them regularly and we can tell they both loved her! Would recommend to anyone and would book again”
“Cassie was so wonderful and patient with our anxious little pup. She kept us in the loop with quick messages and great pictures. She was so flexible and helpful when our travel plans were rearranged and truly put my mind at ease that Buckley was safe and happy. We’ll definitely rebook!”
“Sarah did a good job with Bob, Boo and Trudy, who is a senior dog with vision issues. I got photos and updates which put me at ease especially with Trudy. Will definitely book with Sarah again for future trips.”
“Todd was absolutely the best person we could have asked for to watch our puppy! He was very communicative, sending professional grade photos and keeping us in the loop consistently throughout our vacation. Very respectful of our home and even helped continue our training. We feel like we got more than we could have asked for and will definitely be requesting Todd 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.
About: I’ve had animals my whole life and now I have 6 of my own. Friends, neighbors, and family have relied on me to care for their pets while they were out of town. My friends call me just to cut their dogs toe nails or if they need advice on something about their pet! I also have cared for multiple horses at a time and am very familiar with larger/farm animals as well. My schedule revolves around my pets. They come first! As will your pets- they are my 1st priority. My work schedule is decently lenient - we can arrange times so it’s fitting for your pets schedule. In your home, I’ll stop by to let them out to potty, eat, etc. We can go for long walks and play fetch with their favorite toys!
“Ava watched our dog William for us while we were gone for a summer vacation and did a wonderful job! William had a great time with her and she kept him busy and happy, while also providing us updated while we were gone. Excellent dog/house sitter!”
“Leslie was absolutely fantastic! She watched our home, dogs, and bird while we travelled for our wedding and honeymoon. We’re relatively new to the Phoenix area and didn’t know anyone that we could leave our pets with, so we turned to Rover. So glad we did because Leslie will be our go-to from now on! She sent us morning and evening updates about the animals along with frequent photos and videos, offered to grab mail and take out trash, and went above and beyond with cleaning when she left. We knew that our fur & feather kids were in good hands the whole time and the dogs were in such good spirits when we got home. They loved her and we did too! Five stars isn’t enough. We will be repeat customers for sure! Thank you, Leslie!”
“Always great having Rodney sit our three dogs! He takes really good care of all three and even goes above and beyond to make sure our husky doesn’t get in any trouble while we’re away haha”
“We went on a trip to San Diego for Comic Con and hired her about 2 to 3 weeks in advance for overnight care for cats. She sent pictures daily. She did cleanups she did the litter boxes twice a day mind you we have seven cats and a one year-old that ended up chewing one of our chords and she even replaced it. We thought he was out of this phase, but I guess New Kitty around new people regardless of that she stayed in communication. She always kept us updated New Kitty knew people regardless of that She always kept us updated with written notes, the place looks really good so I’m gonna rehire her again. Thank you.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Tempe
Christina stayed at our house with our dog Teddy for a week and a half, and we never worried about a thing. She was quick to reply, easy to communicate with, & very polite and respectful. She sent us updates and pictures and we returned home to find Teddy and the house in wonderful shape. We hope to book with her again the next time we need to be away and would highly recommend her to others! She's responsible and wonderful at her job! :)
Could not recommend more!! Brian accepted a last minute booking to watch my dog and cat as well as house sit. From the start, he was extremely communicative. He sent lots of pictures and provided many updates throughout the day. When I came home, my pets were happy and healthy and my home was very clean and tidy. Will be booking again in the future! Thanks Brian!
Emily was great! She came over and met with myself and my dog, Tag before the sit. Tag is usually really nervous with people, but she still felt comfortable enough with him to watch him! During the sit she kept me updated with texts and pictures even though sometimes I was out of cell range, she sent updates. Tag was happy and healthy when I got home and the house was immaculate! Thank you Emily for your great care of Tag and my home. We'd be happy to have you back!
Andrea not only took amazing care of our pups, but also our home. We came home from a 3 day kayak trip (with no service) to happy dogs and home. She is proactive and has a lot of experience, which gave us confidence with being out of contact during her stay. We will definitely be requesting Andrea soon!
Cassie was so wonderful and patient with our anxious little pup. She kept us in the loop with quick messages and great pictures. She was so flexible and helpful when our travel plans were rearranged and truly put my mind at ease that Buckley was safe and happy. We’ll definitely rebook!
Bri is such a wonderful petsitter! We don’t even worry about our cats when she is there! She takes the time to send tons of photos and videos while we’re gone, which helps so much and makes us feel so much better that the cats are doing well! She genuinely loves animals and goes out of her way to spend time with them and make sure they are played with and cared for. We will be asking her to pet sit any time we are out of town and so grateful to have found her! Would highly recommend her to anyone!!
Deanna was amazing with our dogs and cat! She followed my instructions exactly, and sent lots of updates with photos. All of our pets have different personalities and she catered to each of them. She even bought our high energy dog a toy to play with inside since it was too rainy for a walk. We will definitely be asking her to pet sit again!!
Torrie was wonderful! She watched our dogs in our home. They warmed up to her quickly and had a great time with her and the house was well taken care of. She was very easy to communicate with and we appreciated the updates during the day. Our dogs can’t wait to hangout with her again!
Finding reliable and trustworthy pet sitters can be tough (especially when medications are needed) and Jasmine absolutely nailed it. We loved the check-ins and photos throughout the weekend, it was so nice to have peace of mind knowing our pups were in good hands! Highly recommend booking Jasmine if you are in need of a sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Tempe is $44 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $80 per night. 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 November 2026, there are 4,968 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Tempe. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
