“Steph was a great caretaker of our fur children. I have a pretty rambunctious dog and she handled her no problem. I’d trust Steph to take care of the babies again any day of the week.”
“Alyssa is amazing!! Took wonderful care of my 2 cats, during every visit she made sure all their needs were met while also taking time to play and give them some pets. She was organized, responsive, and always positive to speak to. We appreciate all your help and the adorable pictures we got while away!”
About: I grew up with a brindle boxer who was truly part of my family, and losing her a couple years ago was one of the hardest things I’ve gone through. Since then, I’ve been fostering dogs through the Humane Society, everything from shy rescues to energetic puppies. Ive fostered dogs that had kennel cough to dogs that needed to gain weight after being rescued from horrible conditions. Fostering taught me how to handle different personalities, build trust with nervous dogs, and give each pet the patience and love they need. Caring for dogs has always been a big part of my life, and I bring that same level of attention and compassion to every pet I watch. Pet care fits perfectly into my weekly routine. I’m available most days and fully flexible, I'm pursuing a degree and have class Tuesday and Thursday from 9am–12pm, but I’m available the rest of the day and all other days of the week. This gives me a very flexible schedule for walks, drop‑ins, and house sitting. I plan my day around pet care, so your dog always gets consistent attention, timely visits, and plenty of love. Your pet’s safety is always my top priority. I follow all instructions exactly, keep doors and gates securely closed, and make sure your dog is never put in an unsafe situation. I’m calm, patient, and experienced with foster dogs, so I know how to handle different personalities and energy levels. I always double‑check leashes, harnesses, and feeding routines, and I keep a close eye on your pet during every visit. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, comfortable, and cared for at all times.
About: I’ve had dogs and taken care of them since before I can remember! This includes watching my neighbors’ dogs, as well as my relatives. I’m currently a college student, which gives me a flexible schedule for pet care. I’m available most weekday evenings and am also available most weekends. I provide attentive, reliable care in your pet’s own home where they feel most comfortable. I follow your routine for feeding, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and lots of affection. I keep your home tidy, send regular updates, and make sure your pet feels safe, relaxed, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I have been taking care of a variety of animals throughout my life. I have had either a dog or cat in my house all during my life, and don’t feel myself without them when they are not near me. I am very familiar and comfortable around animals, and want the best for them :) They deserve to be loved and cared for all the time. That’s why I am here, to take care of your pets when you are gone, or if you simply need the extra help of giving them their daily walk. I am here ! I’m currently working part-time, so I have lots of free time to play with your pets ! Whether that be daily walks, check ins to feed or water, etc. I will always ensure to lock doors and keep leashes on when outside at all times. I will update the owners on their pets wellbeing, as well as notify when entering/leaving their homes if requested.
About: I have 13 years of experience caring for my own pets and others. I sadly had to say goodbye to my senior 15 year old girl. It’s been one of the toughest goodbyes. I am honored to deepen my healing and connect with local community taking care of others’s pets . Since I am self employed, I am flexible to work with you through healthy and clear communication on your pet’s needs. Saturdays tend to be a day I am booked with client’s however I can always check on your pet before and after my appointment as long as I plan with enough advance notice. I value honesty, safety, and trust. I know how much trust it truly requires to leave your pets in the care of someone else. I will always make sure I am providing excellent service caring after your pet making sure they feel nothing but unconditional love, as they deserve. I prefer to care for pets in your home but I am open to caring for small dogs (15 lbs and under) in my apartment. Although I do not own a yard, my apartment has 2 private dog parks on property. I am also more than happy to take them on long walks as needed.
About: I’ve always been a huge animal lover! I’ve been taking care of my aunt’s three Bernedoodles for a few years now, so I’m very used to having my hands full with multiple dogs! I’ve also watched my family’s Corgi and Mini Aussie, as well as two Great Danes, so I have plenty of experience with dogs of all different sizes and personalities. I have a German Shepherd of my own who’s always been full of energy but is now getting into her senior years, along with my sweet 1 year kitty! I’ve grown up around animals and genuinely love spending time with them. I know how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your pets, and I’d love to give yours the same love and attention I give my own! I’m currently a student at ASU and also work part time, but I have a pretty flexible schedule! I’m used to balancing my day around taking care of my own pets, so making time for walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention is already part of my routine. I’m happy to work with pet parents to find times that work for both of us! I know how much our pets mean to us, so I always make sure to treat every animal like they’re my own! When visiting your home, I’ll stick to whatever routine your pet is used to, whether that’s feeding, walks, potty breaks, or just some extra playtime and attention. On walks, I’m always mindful of our surroundings and make sure your pup is safe and comfortable. I’ll also make sure they have fresh water, everything is cleaned up, and all doors and gates are secure before I leave. I’m more than happy to send pictures and updates throughout my visits too! I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pets are happy, safe, and getting lots of love while you’re away!
“As always - Danielle was AWESOME with our dog Shea ❤️. She has been punctual, great with playing ball and super helpful in some custom feeding request. A+++”
About: I've been hosting dogs & cats through Rover.com for several years now, and it's been a tremendously rewarding experience. While I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, I have only 2 cats right now. They both like dogs, especially my leash-trained therapy cat who likes everybody. The cats are never aggressive, but a very high-energy impolite dog could get a left-hook if they're not careful. Calmer dogs used to cats are a great fit. Take your next vacation with peace of mind; knowing your pooch is safe, happy, and getting plenty of attention and playtime! I have yet to have a guest that didn’t bond to me almost immediately…it’s like they can sense that I am an easy source of belly rubs and treats! While I have plenty of amateur training experience with dogs and cats, I am in the process of earning a "Good Pup" training certification through Rover, so for a limited time am offering some basic obedience training with boarding or daycare. Please don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions you might have about my home, experience, or schedule. I work from my home office during the week, and extra canine/feline company is always welcomed. I have a small fenced-in yard for potty breaks whenever the need arises. There's usually no problem accommodating specific daily feeding/walk schedules with some advance notice. Your furry children will be very comfortable in my North Tempe town-home, where I live alone in a conveniently located 'dog-friendly' neighborhood near Papago Park. Many of my guests drop off and pick up on the way to/from Sky Harbor Airport, which is about 15 minutes away (about 5.5 miles). I'm within walking distance of the local dog park, if that's something you & your dog are comfortable with.
“Sierra was very detailed, professional, attentive, and punctual. I have a chronically ill kitty that needs daily meds and I was really worried about leaving him while on my trip, but Sierra made me feel at ease and I could tell my babies were in good hands. I highly recommend her services!”
About: Hello my name is Lexi! I grew up with a dog my whole life and have cared for friends pets many times. I’ve watched big and small, as well as a variety of breeds. I work remotely 4 days a week so I can easily cater to your pet’s daily schedule and be with them throughout the whole day. I am also free most weekends! While I am unable to board your pet in my apartment, my top priority would be to make sure your pet feels comfortable and happy in their own home. If needed, I will be sure to follow any rules or restrictions set forth by you as the owner.
“Sophia was amazing! She went over and above for us and our dog. Our dog was a little nervous at first, but Sophia was patient with him and he was able to warm up to her! Sophia also has great communication through the whole process.We will be booking her again!”
“Very reliable! Always provides great communication and is very patient with my dog. You can tell that Janak loves what they do and will always give your pet the attention they need. Highly recommend and will always reach out if they are available!”
About: Hi there, I’m actively looking to take of your fur babies! Whether it be a cat or dog I’m here to assist. I have two special needs dogs of my own so I’m familiar with needing to administer different types of medications. If you’re dog is diabetic and needs his meds at a certain time I’m your girl! My dog Finley is now diabetic so I know it can be stressful for both of you. I’m also here to just take care of puppies by letting them out when you’re at work or walking some dogs that need to get out during the day to burn off some energy! At this time I’m taking a break from the corporate life to focus on finding a career that’s more rewarding! This gives me lots of flexibility to take care of your babies! I have years of experiences not only taking care of my dog but others as well. Even the dogs that are more shy I can slowly get to warm up to me. It’s important to build a trusting relationship with them so they are excited to see me when I walk in the door cause they know I’m a safe space for them!
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Tempe is $20
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Tempe
We are very happy with our decision to hire Jadon! Trusting someone to both have access to our house and care for our cats for an extended time is not something that comes easily for us, but after a quick meet and greet, we immediately felt comfortable and confident in our choice. Jaden was friendly and polite, took great care of the kitties, reliably showed up each time, sent photos and a message after each visit, quickly asked questions when something seemed off, and did exactly as asked. We were able to worry much less being away for a few weeks. We will hire him again and definitely recommend. Jaden may not have as many reviews yet as others on the site, but this is by far the best pet sitting experience we have had.
Alyssa took notes on everything our cat would need while we were gone, and she gave us a thorough report about how things were going after every single visit. 100% dependable. She even went above and beyond and scooped every day, even though we said she didn't have to. This is my first time using Rover or having any stranger take care of my pet, so I was really anxious about leaving him. Alyssa let us enjoy our vacation by taking such good care of him. If we ever go out of town again, I hope she's still available! An A+ recommendation
Adrienne is amazing!! She is so kind, thoughtful, and genuinely the best! She was super communicative and sent lots of pictures, which I absolutely love! She even did a little grooming for my dog without me asking, which was so sweet and thoughtful. We had such a great experience, and we will definitely be booking with her again!! Highly recommend her!!
Audrey made me feel so comfortable and at ease leaving for vacation. She treated my cats as her own and her reports of them are so detailed and thoughtful. I am looking forward to the next time she gets to come care for them. They were very happy and at ease while we were away and that made my trip so much more enjoyable. Thank you again Audrey!
Ash was wonderful. Very responsive and communicative and flexible. This was the first time I hired Ash and her quick responsiveness and help with the app was so helpful and put me at ease. I would and will hire Ash again. My pups are my babies and they were in great hands!!
Sara is AMAZING. She is always on time and our cats know and love her. They actually come out and see her when she drops in (two of them are pretty shy with anyone else). We get the sweetest updates with each visit. 100/10 recommend Sara! Knowing how well our kitties are cared for truly provides peace of mind when we travel. Thank you, Sara!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Tempe is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $28 per visit. 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 7,448 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Tempe. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Tempe. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
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.
