“My husband and I cannot say Thank You enough to Celeste and her beautiful daughter for taking such great care of our baby Chiko!!❤️🐶 We were not even home after drop off when I got the first picture and video of Chiko all comfy on the bed watching a movie😄 We had to leave our baby for 17 days and Celeste was amazing about sending me updates, pictures and videos the entire time❤️ Thank you so so much Celeste! I would definitely trust you with my baby Chiko again!🐶”
“Zach and Maddie were the absolute best! From the moment I met them I knew my dog was in great hands. They are genuine dog lovers. I got lots of updates while I was away. It was such a relief being gone for a week and not having to worry about my dog. They even took him on a picnic! 10/10. Highly recommend.”
“Danielle was great! She was very transparent and welcoming. I thought it was great to have a meet and greet which let her know if my dog would get along w hers and also show me her house and environment that my dog would be in. She sent updates and pictures everyday that were not just generic. I appreciated her kindness, openness, love for my dog!”
“From the first meet and greet, I was impressed with Sarah and her dogs. She’s very kind and loving and her dogs are sweet and friendly and well-mannered. I was nervous to leave my dog because we’ve been working so hard on training and I was worried it would all go out the window by staying with someone else. But when my dog returned home, he was just where he was when we left him, if not a little better. Sarah texted pictures and updates everyday. I highly recommend her!!”
“Maggie was an absolute gem! She was cordial, attentive, and thorough throughout Dex’s whole stay. She was accommodating to all my requests as well. Sent daily updates with pictures! Would definitely book again 🥰”
“Marcelina is a true dog lover and or Lucy was in best hands. The food was given exactly as per our guidance and we received fotos on a regular basis. We highly recommend Marcelina if your dog needs a place to stay.”
“My spoiled Shih Tzu had a great time during his four night stay. He played with kids and received so much attention. I received many photos of his fun times.”
“Roxanne was great and I will be rebooking for future sits. She was very flexible with the last minute request to watch Posie and even for a meet a greet prior. I knew Posie was in good hands from the update after drop off and I appreciate how she took the time to send me daily updates every day without fail. It really alleviated any worries I had of how Posie was doing. I could tell Posie had a blast with her as well and appreciated all the ball time she got. Thanks again and till next time!”
“Johanna provided an amazing experience both for my boy Rocko and me. He was treated like a king and I wasn't sure he'd want to come home. Johanna also provided daily pictures showing just how much fun Rocko was having. I definitely recommend Johanna for the personal and sincere care she provides”
“We’ve taken our golden retriever here many times now and he’s always taken care of wonderfully. He loves coming and gets so much love and attention. They are always prompt to let us know if there’s anything abnormal going on. We highly recommend :)”
“Mrs.Susan and her husband are AMAZING 🤩 They kept us up to date while our baby was with them lots of pics and all the adventures they had. They welcomed our baby into their home and showed her so much love and attention which she does request alot of lol”
“Freddie had a great couple of days with Jessica. He came home exhausted after having so much play time 😊 This was our second time staying with Jessica and we would absolutely recommend staying here again!”
“We are so grateful to have found Jennifer. She watched our puppy for three days on only a few days notice. She took perfect care of him, and made sure he felt comfortable with the other pups that were there. We couldn’t have asked for a better first experience on Rover!”
“I am so thankful to have found Giovanna and Michael. It’s always a bit stressful finding a dog sitter but I’m so glad I found them. We did a meet and greet at the park which was helpful to get a feel for each other. I dropped my Dani girl off in the morning and shared our usual routine. Before I got home they sent me a message to recap what they heard and let me know she was settling in which I really appreciated because that’s always a dog mom’s worry of how they’re settling in. We got multiple pictures and videos daily which we loved. My kids really loved the updates too because they missed Dani so much. I could tell from the pictures and videos that Dani was having the best time and taken care of. They were very flexible with drop off and pickup request and I would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a pet sitter. Thank you Giovanna and Michael!!”
“Daniel and Cassandra were great. They kept me informed, were prompt to return messages and kept my dog safe. I would not hesitate to use them again. Thanks.”
“Niki was amazing. My dog has anxiety when I’m away. My normal dog sitter was traveling as was my backup and Niki was gracious enough to step in and be willing to be around most of the time I was away as my girl doesn’t like to be left alone especially when I’m not around. There were several issues but Niki was so nice and helpful and kind. I can’t recommend her enough to you and for your four legged loved ones!”
“Rocco loves staying with Ashley and Tony and it makes the whole process easier knowing that he is in the best hands. Ashley constantly sends photos and video updates. I could not recommend them enough!”
“Diana was so amazing with our Buddy! She sent pictures and updates. She was so understanding when our plans got changed last min. Thank you Diana for loving our guy the way we do!”

Love Julia! And so does Coco ♥️ We did a meet and greet the day before, and when I came back the following day to drop her off, Coco was making all sorts of ridiculous sounds in her excitement once she realized where she was! I got photo updates and it worked out great for the weekend because Julia stayed with her the whole time (basically all Coco wants) and I felt super safe leaving Coco with Julia =) We'll definitely use her again in the future for weekends!
Todd and his wife were great with Susy! She stayed at their house for 3 nights and had a great time, especially getting to socialize and play with their dog, Sydney. They sent lots of pictures and kept us updated throughout her stay, which we really appreciated. We felt comfortable knowing Susy was in good hands. Highly recommend them and we would definitely book with them again!
Ashley took our rover request the day of and was very easy to meet and communicate with! She also sent plenty of pictures and updates of our dog throughout the day. We could tell that our dog had a great time during his stay with her. We will definitely be using her again and would recommend her to anyone!
Madison is incredible. She is so attentive to sweet Cooper & was in frequent communication with us. My daughter was anxious to leave her boy with anyone ... but Madison absolutely won her over with her attention to detail. We are thankful for her & look forward to using having Cooper visit next time!

The average cost of Pet Boarding in Tempe is $39 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $56 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.
There are 3,492 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 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.
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.
