“James did a great job caring for our corgis along with our home while we were away. We appreciated the updates and felt our babies were well cared for throughout the stay. We know our corgis are full of personality, so we really appreciated the care and patience!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Literally the best pet and home sitter! Teal is so communicative and takes initiative. We received photo and text updates while away for the whole week. You can tell Teal cares so much about pets, but also the owners. Such a kind soul, will absolutely rebook with Teal in the future!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
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.
“This was my first time using a professional house/cat sitter and Summer was great!! We have 4 cats who demand a lot of attention and have some special dietary needs. Summer gave clear communication and updates throughout the week and we came home to a very clean house and more importantly very happy cats. I would definitely recommend Summer and will request her services again!”
“First time booking with Dalila. She kept us updated and sent pictures of our pups. She captured their personalities perfectly and made us feel at ease. Very kind Rover sitter. Would book again!”
“Morrigan is an amazing pet sitter! She sends pictures every day and our animals look so happy! It looks like she really kept them busy and gave them lots of love! I would recommend her every time!”
About: I have several years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. From energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra patience, I tailor my care to each pet’s unique needs. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, administering basic medications, long walks, and providing lots of attention and playtime. I understand how important trust and communication are, so I always keep owners updated with messages and photos. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I work from home, which allows me to provide flexible and consistent care throughout the day. I’m available for drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and litter box cleaning on weekdays and weekends. I also offer overnight stays, giving your cat extra comfort, companionship, and a steady routine while you’re away. I can often accommodate last-minute requests and always aim to keep things stress-free and consistent. I prioritize safety by paying close attention to details like secure doors, proper feeding instructions, and clean litter areas. I carefully follow any care guidelines you provide and keep a watchful eye for changes in behavior or health. My goal is to make sure your cat is always safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
“Our very anxious beagle warmed up to Nicole very quickly. She stayed with her and kept us updated throughout our time away. This was our first time using Rover and so we were initially not sure what to expect. We did a few meet and greets prior to our leaving and we felt very comfortable with Nicole and her calm presence. She was patient and warm with our dog. We would recommend her to anyone with a dog that needs a lot of extra love and attention. Thank you for watching our dearest little Stella.”
“I can’t thank Brian enough for how well he cared for our boys. One of our dogs is a loud barker and quite rambunctious and he was calm within minutes around Brian. He sent pictures throughout our time away and we came home to two tired happy dogs. Hank and Henry will be excited to have Brian stay again in the future! As will we - our house was tidy when we came home, just like we never left!”
“Taylor was amazing! Literally played with Zara all week and gave her all the attention and cuddles. Taylor followed Zara’s schedule and routine perfectly and asked questions when she had them!”
“Shannon was amazing. She hit it off with my two dogs right away. They slept with her and she did amazing. I will use her again when needed. Oh, and the house was spotless. Pick Shannon, you won't be disappointed.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Tempe is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Tempe
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!
Madison was absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of our two dogs while we were out of the country and gave us so much peace of mind. Both dogs ended up having some unexpected health issues during our trip, and Madison handled everything with patience, care, and attentiveness. She was extremely communicative, kept us updated throughout our time away, and made sure we always knew how the dogs were doing. It was such a relief knowing they were in good hands, especially being so far from home. She even left us the sweetest handwritten note and Polaroid of the dogs! We’re so grateful for her and would absolutely trust her to watch Bodhi and Sedona again. Highly recommend!
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!
Had a great experience with Sophie! My animals were well taken care of, and I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in good hands while I was away. Everything went smoothly, and I really appreciated the care and attention they received. Would definitely recommend and book again!
Emily was wonderful! She communicated consistently and timely during her stay with my dog. Everything was in order when I returned. She took the time to come and meet him before the housesitting, even though it was a bit of a drive for her. Definitely would book again!
It was wonderful to have Adi stay at our home with our dog and cat while we were out of the country. It made us feel comforted to know they were both in great hands. We would absolutely trust her to watch our pets and stay in our home anytime! We are so glad we found her ❤️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Tempe is $44 per night as of October 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.

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
