“Bex is absolutely wonderful. There was nothing more we could ask for from a sitter. We had updates, pictures, timely responses, and most of all when Chloe and Noel went back for a second time, they were so happy to see her. We have had several sitters before but Bex takes the cake and will continue to be our number 1 choice in the future. I cannot stress enough how lucky we are to have found Bex. My wife and I are very cautious of who we choose because our pets really are our family. We highly recommend Bex to anyone who loves their pets, you will not be disappointed.”
“I cannot say enough good things about Sarah! This was the very first time my Shih Tzu Bella had ever been watched overnight or left with someone new, and I was honestly a bit nervous. From the moment they met, I could tell my Bella was in great hands. She provided excellent care, sent regular photos and text updates, and went above and beyond to make sure my little one felt safe and loved. When I picked Bella up, he was so happy and it was clear she had truly bonded with her. I’m so grateful to have found someone so kind, trustworthy, and attentive. Highly recommend! We already booked for another date!”
“We were extremely satisfied with Desi's stay with Nicole and her family. Nicole has a lovely family and they are dog lovers, who were very gentle and loving with our elderly dog Desi. We felt like Desi was really well taken care of and we will definitely be using Nicole's services again!”
About: Animals have always seemed to gravitate toward me — and I feel the same way about them. I naturally connect with pets in a way that helps them feel safe, understood, and at ease. I’m confident and consistent when it comes to setting healthy boundaries, while also providing plenty of affection, patience, and reassurance. Whether your pet needs playful engagement, calm companionship, or gentle guidance, I create a balanced environment where they can relax and be themselves. Many animals quickly find comfort in my presence — and there’s nothing I love more than earning that trust. If you'd like, tell me what types of pets you’re hoping to attract (high-energy dogs, senior pets, anxious rescues, etc.), and I can tailor it even more specifically to your ideal clients. Caring for animals is part of my everyday life and routine. Staying active is very important to me, so daily walks and outdoor time are already built into my schedule. I love getting dogs out and about for fresh air, exercise, and enrichment — it benefits both of us! You can count on me to make your pet’s physical activity and well-being a consistent priority. I care for every pet as if they were my own family. I understand that when you’re away, they may need extra reassurance, attention, and love. My goal is to make them feel safe, secure, and deeply cared for in your absence — never replacing you, but lovingly filling the time until you return. Your pet’s comfort, emotional well-being, and safety are always my top priority.
“Ana and her boyfriend were absolutely fabulous!!! They took care of my dog like their own pet and I could tell at the time of pickup my dog had become really fond of them. All instructions for food etc were well followed. Ana was amazing at sending me pictures everyday which eased my anxiety. I would definitely use their services again and highly recommend them to all pet owners looking for an amazing sitter .”
“She was amazing with my dog! She stayed on top of everything, made sure my dog ate well, and kept me updated with plenty of pictures. It really gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was in such good hands. Highly recommend!”
“Honestly couldn’t have asked for better dog sitters! They were great with communication and sending loads of updates on my pups as I was out of state getting married. They played a bunch with Bendu who is a very active and pet Sandy who only wants love. I can’t say enough positive things! They are amazing ❤️”
“Steven was an amazing host! He was very friendly and so accommodating to meet up prior to the drop off date to introduce our dogs to each other. He sent pictures every day with the daily walks, and we always felt reassured that Miso, our dog, was in good and caring hands. I definitely hope we can book him again in the future and absolutely recommend him to anyone that is looking for a dog host.”
“She was very kind, and seemed to take great care of my dog! Her two pets were very relaxed when we met up, and my dog seemed to get quickly comfortable with her. Will definitely book again if she's available!!”
“Kelly helped us at the last minute, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Great communication. She and Connor seemed to really love Pretzel. And Jeezy is an awesome laidback dog.”
“Tracy is a very kind loving dog sitter. I have already booked her for my next trip. I finally found a dog sitter who I can trust with my sweet girl. Thank you Tracy for snuggling with her. I appreciate you.”
“We have booked with Gabriela many times and she has always been amazing. In addition to being great with our dog, she has been very communicative, managed giving our dog pills, and overall very easy to work with. A few times we have had to amend our pick up times due to flight changes and she has always been gracious and accommodating. We would highly recommend her.”
About: I’ve fostered and rescued cats and dogs for a few years now , every since I was a kid I would bring in strays and help them . I’ve also pet sat for friends and family for a few years as well :) I currently have a job were I make my own schedule so my availability is very open ! I’m available every day of the week day and night :) I walk my dogs 3 times a day I take them to the dog park 5 times a week for an hour or longer depending on how hot it is
“First of I want to say Erica was amazing! She took my request last minute when someone bailed on watching my puppy. She agreed to watch him for 9 days and took amazing care of him. She updated me constantly and sent me tons of pictures so I wouldn’t miss out on anything! She gave him lots of attention and cuddles! Dash loved her! He didn’t want to leave her when I picked him up! Will def book with Erica again”
“Clara was so kind with our very anxious Cavapoo. In fact, when we picked up Cody he went over briefly to Clara to say "bye". Also, he ate while we were gone! We have had some issues in the past where our little guy would go on a food strike while we were out of town. Thank you so much Clara!”
“Louise was seriously awesome! She took care of my cat so well, feeding her and playing with her like I do. She even sent me cute pics. I'm really grateful for her help and I'll definitely ask her again next time I'm out of town. If you need someone to watch your furball, Louise is the way to go! Thankyou soo much :)”
“Ashley was an excellent sitter! It was my first time using her, and the meet and greet went well. My pup stayed with her for a week and she was very responsive, and communicated really well. I felt like she genuinely cared about my dog and he seemed well taken care of. Would highly recommend.”
“Brandon & his family did a great job with our dog Buck. It was a last minute situation and he graciously took him in. Brandon has a great way with dogs. He had a big yard that is fenced in and a doggie door which let Buck go in and out, smell things and run. He was also taken on walks and given lots of attention. I highly recommend Brandon as a dog sitter. We also received pictures twice a day.”
Tempe pet parents share their Rover experiences
Absolutely amazing experience! My dog was happy, comfortable, and clearly well cared for during the stay. I received frequent updates, photos, and thoughtful communication throughout the booking. I truly appreciated the care and attention given to my dog and would not hesitate to book again. Highly recommend!!!!!!
If you’re someone who gets anxious about leaving your dog, I can’t recommend Rachel enough. I always struggle with leaving Winston because I worry about whether he’s happy, comfortable, and getting the attention he needs. From the moment I dropped him off, Rachel’s organized and efficient system made me feel so much more at ease. Everything was well thought out, communication was clear, and I immediately felt like Winston was in good hands. Throughout his stay, Rachel sent videos and updates every single day and was incredibly responsive whenever I had questions. Seeing Winston happy, playing, and genuinely enjoying himself in every video meant so much to me. The biggest testament to the care she provided was Winston himself. After previous boarding experiences, he’s come home anxious, exhausted, or needing a few days to settle back in. This time was completely different. He came home happy, relaxed, and acting like his normal self from the moment I picked him up. It was obvious he had been well cared for and felt comfortable during his stay. Rachel took away so much of the stress and anxiety I normally feel when leaving my dog. Knowing he was safe, loved, and having fun allowed me to actually enjoy my time away instead of constantly worrying. That’s something I don’t take lightly. I’m so grateful for the care she gave Winston, and I would trust her with him again without hesitation.
I had a wonderful experience with this sitter and felt completely at ease leaving my dog in her care. Throughout the stay, my dog appeared happy, comfortable, and very well cared for. It was clear that she provided a safe, attentive, and loving environment. I had no concerns or complaints at any point and was very pleased with the level of care and communication provided. I would absolutely recommend her to others looking for a trustworthy sitter and would not hesitate to book with her again in the future. Thank you for taking such great care of my dog!
Brittany took great care of Millie and was extremely kind, responsive and sent updates and pictures consistently throughout the week. This was Millie's first time away from home and Brittany was very mindful of that. I was really put at ease and felt like she was in great hands. I would highly recommend Brittany to anyone and she'll be my first call if I ever need a sitter!
Rachael was an absolute delight from the beginning. TRUSTWORTHY, FRIENDLY, THOUGHTFUL, HUMBLE, WITH A GOOD HEART I could sense she was truly excited to have a dog to love and care for. For us, she was BEYOND what we expected in a good sitter. Our Shepsky hasnt been with us an entire year yet so while she is a good girl, we were reserved wondering if she would feel comfortable and how she'd settle in around strangers. Within a few hours I got a couple of the pictures I needed. Belly up on the couch with some good people and good pets. Rachael seems to know dogs well but is incredibly humble which I believe is SUPER important when it comes to keeping dogs safe and not making assumptions. When our dog was returned to us she was tired and even more friendly and settled in than when we dropped her off. I can tell she was spoiled! Upon eye contact she is now gushing and loving up on people. (Sorry, have to add: she was a day away from euthanasia when I picked her up at the shelter and to see her leave Rachael's home a happy, perfect little princess made me cry) So thankful for Rachael's care!
Sergio and his family were great to work with and my dog loved staying with them. They were easy to communicate with and extremely accommodating when I needed to adjust times due to schedule changes. I’m so lucky to have found a great place for Scout to stay and look forward to using them again in the future.
10000/10!!! We felt so comfortable leaving Mochi with Huaqing. She took such great care of him and showed him the same love we give at home. She shared daily updates and pictures, which was reassuring as we were so far away. I could tell he was comfortable as well by the cuddly pictures of him, it made me happy to see he felt safe. She was also very careful with his dietary needs and made sure to follow the instructions we shared. She’s truly a gem 😊
Honestly couldn’t have asked for better dog sitters! They were great with communication and sending loads of updates on my pups as I was out of state getting married. They played a bunch with Bendu who is a very active and pet Sandy who only wants love. I can’t say enough positive things! They are amazing ❤️
Stacy is absolutely AMAZING!!! The kindest and most lovely lady, and an even better sitter! She took spectacular care of my senior dog Ernie while I was gone for a week & a half and he absolutely loved staying in her lovely home. Stacy is the best, look no further for the perfect sitter! Thank you Stacy I will definitely book again!
Ashley was an amazing dog sitter! She kept me updated throughout Macy’s stay with messages and pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. Macy clearly enjoyed staying with her and was very well taken care of. I would definitely trust her to watch Macy again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!
