“I’ve been booking with Kathleen to watch my 3 cats every time I’m out of town and she’s awesome! Super reliable and good with the cats and very responsive. And takes great photos too :)”
“I will definitely be rebooking with Junjie again, my kitten Teddy absolutely loved her and was well taken care of! She provided very thorough notes and details of each visit and was amazing with him. She made sure he was comfortable and well taken care of and I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter!”
“Veronika was a great sport about a somewhat irregular cat sitting gig of looking after a semi-stray cat I have been feeding for several months. She sounded honestly happy and pleased the one time she saw the cat in the yard. Very reliable and easy to work with.”
“Estefany is amazing with my cat Wymack and even more amazing with communication and last minute accommodation! She went above and beyond watching my baby and fit in pet sitting him super last minute! I recommend her to anyone that needs some peace of mind when they are out of town!”
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.
“Adrienne was very attentive, caring, knowledgeable, prompt, and just a lovely carer to my cat, Wonton. She went above and beyond the call of duty and really got to know my kitty and his style in a short time. She played with him, showered him with attention, brushed him, gave him plenty of cuddles, and send tons of lovely pics. Will be using her again 100%.”
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.
“I was lucky to find James on Rover. He accepted my last minute urgent situation and kindly provided excellent sitting and care for my little Papillon. Extended his time and services to get dog food and treats while I was gone all week. He is someone to trust and I recommend him !!! Denise P.”
“Aleksandra was amazing with Luna. She went above and beyond to make my kitty feel loved and taken care of when I was out of town. Fantastic communication, easy and quick to book. I recommend Aleksandra to anyone!”
About: Hi! I'm Mckenna, a junior at Arizona State University studying Sports Business. When I'm not in class, playing on ASU's club soccer team, or working at Grass Clippings Rolling Hills, I love spending time outside—and I think every walk is better with a dog by your side! I've grown up with dogs my entire life, so caring for them has always come naturally to me. I taught my childhood dog several tricks and would take him on daily walks whenever I was home. Over the years, I've also cared for many friends' and family's dogs and cats, giving me experience with pets of different personalities and energy levels. Whether your dog loves long walks, quick potty breaks, a leisurely stroll, or an outdoor adventure, I'm happy to match their pace and routine. I know every pet is different, so I'll always follow your instructions carefully to make sure your dog feels comfortable, safe, and cared for. I'm also comfortable administering medication if needed. I currently offer dog walking and occasional pet sitting. While I don't have much experience with senior dogs yet, I'm more than happy to care for them and will carefully follow any instructions to make sure they get the attention and support they need. As a busy college student, I enjoy having something active and rewarding to break up my routine, and spending time with animals is the perfect way to do that. I'll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention during our time together, and you can always expect photo updates so you know they're having a great time! I can't wait to meet you and your furry best friend! As a junior at Arizona State University, I have a flexible schedule that allows me plenty of time to care for pets. I only have classes Monday through Wednesday, work two to three evening a week at Grass Clippings Rolling Hills, and practice with ASU's club soccer team a few times a week. This leaves me with lots of availability for dog walks, drop-in visits, and occasional pet sitting. I enjoy getting outside and staying active, so spending time with pets fits perfectly into my weekly routine. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I understand that every pet has their own routine, so I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and any special needs. When caring for pets in your home, I'll treat both your pet and your home with respect, making sure everything is secure before I leave. I'll also send regular photo updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and receiving the attention and care they deserve.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs all my life, so I really understand their needs and behaviors. My family always trusts me to watch their pets while out of town as I am responsible and caring. I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages, weather they are playfully puppies or calm. I am dedicated to giving each pet the love they deserve. My schedule is very flexible to fit pet care into my weekly routine. This way, I can make sure the pets get the attention and care they deserve without any conflicts. I loveeee playing with dogs and making sure they have lots of fun! I enjoy taking them on walks to keep them active and excited! Playing fetch or simply petting them and showing affection is important. I always make sure they feel cared for while I’m watching them.
About: My mom was a veterinarian, so I grew up with pets. Not only do I have a deep love for animals, like my mom, but I also have true experience caring for them. I’m free Friday-Sunday and occasionally have free days during the week. I currently work part-time and attend ASU part-time, so I’m not available for anything last minute. I always care for pets in their home the way they would be cared for by their owner to avoid causing them any stress or anxiety.
About: I have 4 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of different ages, personalities, and needs. I’m dependable, patient, attentive, and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for. I do school part-time, only on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so I have flexibility throughout the week. I’m available for walks and pet sitting at your home, including weekends, and I’m happy to work around your schedule. I provide care in your pet’s familiar environment, following their normal routines and your instructions. I’ll keep them safe, comfortable, supervised, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Jadon did an amazing job caring for my two cats while I was away. He consistently sent photos and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind and made me feel like I could truly trust him with my pets and my home. What stood out the most was seeing how comfortable my cats were with him in the pictures. They're usually selective about people, and it was obvious that they trusted him and felt safe in his care. I would absolutely recommend Jadon to anyone. He’s truly reliable, thoughtful, and trustworthy.”
“Taylor was great! Our dogs can be a little tricky, but she did great with them! She was very punctual, provided lots of information after each visit, and made sure to keep us updated!”
“Lorissa is absolutely the best! Leo loves her just as much as me now it seems. She sent so many photos while I was on vacation to make sure I knew he was ok. I highly recommend her to check on your sweet pets! :)”
About: I have grown up with pets my entire life and have experience caring for dogs through every stage of their lives, from puppies to seniors. Over the years, I've learned how to provide attentive, loving care while understanding that every pet has their own unique personality and needs. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have also dog sat for other families. I like to ensure that each pet felt safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Whether it's playtime, walks, maintaining routines, or giving extra patience and attention to senior dogs, I always strive to treat every pet like they are part of my own family. I have a flexible schedule/work from home, which allows me to give pets frequent attention, potty breaks, walks, and companionship throughout the day. I am available 7 days a week and I make my own schedule so I am pretty flexible with the hours as well. Pet care fits comfortably into my routine, and I enjoy creating a calm, consistent environment for every pet I watch. I live in a house with a gated backyard where dogs can safely play and get exercise under supervision. I keep a clean, pet-friendly environment and pay close attention to each pet’s routine, comfort level, and needs. I like to focus on creating a safe, loving, and low-stress experience with plenty of attention, playtime, and updates for owners.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Tempe
Zach was super awesome with my kitties while I was away for over a week. He stopped by twice a day for feeding, litter cleaning, play time, and cuddles. When I returned home, I could tell the kitties were well loved while I was away. Zach actively communicated updates with lots of adorable pictures. He also was great at clarifying thier needs and made sure to do a visit before we booked to confirm it was a good fit. I know who to call whenever I'm away! Highly reccomended!
Alma was absolutely amazing. I contacted her on short notice after my cat needed emergency surgery just before I was going out of town. Luckily she was available because she was nothing short of amazing! She took such great care of my kitties and went the extra mile to ease my thoughts! Highly recommend!!
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!
She was absolutely wonderful! Very nice, dependable, and punctual for every visit. She communicated with me each time she stopped by and kept me updated, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Tempe stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
