“David was so great to Rudy & Leahy. He communicated well, took phenomenal care of them (multiple walks daily) and gave them all the puppy love! I will request David to watch them every time moving forward. He is a great guy who cares about your animals like they are his own.”
“Always 5 stars for Stanley's "Auntie Clara". I have never and will never take him elsewhere! Clara is a kind hearted human being who takes outstanding care of my pup. Sends regular communication and makes sure he's well fed and loved. 🥰 I never have to worry about him while we are gone :)”
“Julia was great with Gus and gave me peace of mind throughout the whole weekend. She went above and beyond to make sure Gus was comfortable and even helped him become more socialized with other dogs. I will definitely be using Julia again!”
“Katherine was fantastic! She let me come with my dog before boarding to meet her and see her set up, which is great! She has plenty of space outside for the dogs to run and play and she keeps water in all her rooms! My dog loves to play and she had a few other dogs staying so he had a lot of fun! When I picked him up, he was happy and exhausted! I definitely will be using Katherine for future stays!”
“Catherine was great. She gave extra attention to my pup, had excellent communication, and the walks were a bonus too. Look forward to Catherine boarding my dog again!”
“Chantell and Michael are THE BEST! I'm so sad that I'm moving across the country and our dog can no longer come here! Beyond the fact that they have awesome availability and have always been able to accommodate our requests, they also provide top notch care and I know my dog has a blast when he's there! It's tough to find a pet sitter that will love your pet just as much as you do, but I genuinely know that our dog is given equal love and affection when he is there as when he is home. Thank you so much 💕”
“Consistent videos, enormous property, playful environment, and I don't know if I've ever met anyone who loves dogs as much as Marina. It's was so so sweet to see all the videos of her hanging and playing with the animals. My dog can sometimes be a bit fussy but she immediately had him loving and obeying her. Will definitely come back!”
“Michelle and Cyrus were so wonderful with our dogs. They have an excellent set up at the house and in their back yard for the dogs. Michelle was very responsive and attentive. She sent pictures and videos every day which helped ease our minds being away from our babies for a week. They took such great care of our pups and we are so grateful! We highly recommend Michelle and Cyrus.”
“Absolutely fantastic. First time boarding my dog anywhere and I was pretty nervous. She took great care of him(sent some photos of him of him by the pool relaxing lol). Will definitely be coming back :) thank you Menaj for giving my boy a great experience.”
“I cannot say enough amazing things about Eric! The communication was incredible—updates everyday, along with adorable photos and videos. Oliver even had his very first modeling photoshoot with Eric. It just showed how much care and attention he was giving to Oliver! He truly went avice and beyond. Eric gave so much attention and patience to Oliver as a puppy. I am truly grateful! This was an incredible pet-sitting experience! Oliver was in the absolute best hands. I highly recommend Eric!!! THANK YOU for taking such great care of my boy!!!”
“Treated my dog Scout like family! So happy with how well taken care of he was, as it was his first time away from us since we got him as a puppy. Will definitely book again when we go out of town!”
“Our first time using Rover, we were happy to choose Gabriella for our tiny Pomeranian. She took a great care of her & our “baby” liked her…as we do. 10 out of 10”
“Nique did a great job for me. I contacted her with very short notice (about 48 hours from needing a sitter) and she was still able to accommodate and work with me. My dog Achilles stayed with her for a week and was treated very well, thank you!”
“Absolutely 5-star! Brooke is amazing and took care of Diggie for over a week! Daily updates, lots if pics, how he has been doing, ...lots of details and information made me really enjoy my vacation knowing Diggie is in good hands. They have a nice backyard where Diggie can walk around. Safe and nice. We will definitely go back again.”

I’m so happy I found Rachae! 🤍 Ace had such a good time, made some new friends, and most importantly I felt like he was safe and in good hands. Racheal was so sweet and accommodating, especially when traffic changed our timing a bit. I’d happily leave Ace with her again! 🐾
We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our girls! She was so attentive, patient, and caring with both our young, energetic pup and our sweet senior girl. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were both being loved and cared for while we were away. We’re so grateful and would absolutely trust her with them again!
We truly appreciate the wonderful care Madison gave our Bruno. This was our first time ever using a sitter for him and our first time using the app, so naturally we were a little nervous. From the moment we submitted our request, Madison responded promptly, helped us navigate the process, and made us feel comfortable and reassured. When we arrived to drop Bruno off, Madison was an excellent host. Bruno was comfortable in her arms even while I was still there, which is very unusual for him and immediately made me feel at ease. She listened carefully to all of Bruno’s special needs. He is an elderly little dog who is deaf, partially blind, and diabetic, so leaving him with someone requires a lot of trust and extra attention. Madison made us feel that he was in caring hands. We especially loved receiving a text and picture of Bruno while we were away. It was wonderful to see him comfortable and being well cared for, and it allowed us to enjoy our evening without worrying about him. Thank you, Madison, for giving Bruno so much TLC and for making our first sitter experience such a positive one. ❤️🐾 We will definitely use Madison again and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for someone caring and attentive to watch their pet!
I have an 8 pound Havanese dog named Princess and Ashley was absolutely amazing with her. I had a super last minute trip and Ashley responded quickly giving me all the details that I would need. Princess absolutely loved her dog Snoopy and was excited to see me when I got back from my trip, but she was whining when we were leaving the parking lot. 10 out of 5 stars from me definitely found my new Dog Sitter!!!”
Edgar was so kind and patient with my shy, picky cat! She was calm and comfortable with him, which really meant a lot to me. He sent me regular updates, and I could tell she was happy and well cared for. He returned my kitty to me healthy and happy. I highly recommend Edgar as a cat sitter! ❤️
Really sweet family and just overall perfect experience for both me and my pup. Before boarding: Alani and her families invited us to do meet-and-greet, asked questions about my dog’s usual routines, sent information about other two dogs mine will be staying with ahead of time. During the stay: Alani sent photos and updates daily. Informed me if anything was unusual. They took her to a dog park when the weather got cooler. Pick-up: They were very accommodating while my flight schedules changed. Alani gave me an update on how my dog stay went, anything she noticed, etc. My dog seemed well-played and happy. I felt like they understood how stressful and nervous it can be to part with a pup for extended period, and did everything to help. Alani and her family will always be my first choice to sit my pup going forward. Thank you.
Brandy was very communicative throughout our dog’s stay and kept us updated with photos and messages, which gave us great peace of mind. We could tell our pup had so much fun, was well cared for, and received lots of love and attention. We would definitely trust Brandy to watch our 🐶 again

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Tempe on Rover is $39.96 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Boarding 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 3,525 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Tempe. About 92% of Tempe sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
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.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in AZ ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
