“Veronika is the best! Very responsive, & always sends me Rover cards, photos & updates while I'm away! I know my Stache is in good hands with Veronika, & can highly recommend! ☺️”
“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.”
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.
“Ava was great in stopping in to check on our dogs while we were away for extended hours. I appreciate her providing some pictures and comments on Cooper and Bailey. I would highly recommend”
“Adrienne was amazing and made leaving my fur baby that much easier. She made sure he was comfortable and got the enrichment he needed. Will definitely be looking to reach and book again in the future.”
About: I am new to pet care for others, but I’ve helped raise and train my parents dogs since I was a little kid. Dogs have been in my family my entire life. I love taking long walks, playing fetch, and giving love to all animals. I have a full time job, but I work from home and have weekends free, so i can make anything fit into my schedule as needed. I can take care of your animal however is needed, in your home or for walks. Days or overnights are both options, and I will vary my care depending on what your pet needs!
“Thank You for taking care of Rick this week - greatly appreciate you paying attention to the additional details, litter box and water level in his fountain - i am sure he us looking forward to your return visits...”
“Alyssa did a great job taking care of my cats. They're usually very shy, but they loved her! Communication was great. She sent lots of photos, so my vacation was worry-free. Will definitely book her again.”
About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs my whole life. I have a husky of 6 years that is practically a cat in a dog’s body. I personally get very anxious when leaving my furry friends for trips, so I know how important it is to send pictures and updates of how your fur baby is doing. 9 times out of 10 I am the person in the corner playing with the dog at social events, so I will make sure your pets are well entertained and having a good time! I am a newly licensed Cosmetologist and am currently attending Mesa Community College to get my Associates degree in Beauty & Wellness. My classes are online, so I have a very flexible schedule. Right now I am only taking house sitting requests for long weekends for ex Fri-Mon. Besides that I am open for everything else. I have a husky that has severe separation anxiety, so I will make sure that your pets are calm, safe, & sound even if that means sitting on the floor with them for hours. When taking care of multiple pets at once, I am very aware of my surroundings and making sure that everyone is getting along and having fun.
“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!”
“We have booked with Aleksandra several times and are always so comforted knowing our dog Weller is in her hands. Weller even got sick this time around and she was a HUGE help. 10/10 recommend her for your sitter needs :)”
“Kathleen is the best! This was the second time we’ve booked with her! One of our cats is very skittish around strangers but Kathleen did such a good job she got her to come out of hiding and get some pets - a huge relief while we were out of town! Thank you Kathleen!”
“Bella is a wonderful care giver of our 17 year old cat Pippa. Pippa is timid of strangers but she came out to see Bella every visit. Bella gave her lots of pets and was very calming with her. We will ask Bella to visit on our next away from home. We highly recommend her!”
About: I have 4 years of pet care experience and have owned three dogs myself, so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets. I have experience with dogs and cats of different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, medications, and overnight care. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I am currently a full-time college student and have a part-time job, but my schedule is flexible and gives me plenty of time to care for pets. I am available throughout the week and weekends for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays, and I am happy to work with your pet’s normal routine. I care for pets in the comfort of their own home where they can stay in a familiar environment and follow their normal routine. I carefully follow all feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions provided by each owner. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved, and I treat every client’s home with respect.
“Tabbitha took excellent care of my kitties and promptly sent me visit cards with photos each time, which I really appreciated. She is quick to respond to messages and I felt relieved to have someone so caring and conscientious looking after my kids while I was away.”
“Kristen did an amazing job taking care of my two cats! She was very knowledgeable in pet care and sent me pictures of her visits everyday. She offered to meet up with me beforehand to go over my cats needs and she was excellent with communicating! I was so happy to have a good first experience with rover ☺️”
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.
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.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Tempe is $20
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Tempe
Alyssa’s ‘interview’ process was so detailed and thorough that I felt comfortable from the start. The notes she shared and communication back and forth was 5 stars! I can tell the cats were happy to have visits from Alyssa because there is nothing knocked over and no signs of stress from the cats like litter kicked out of boxes or vomit. Her updates include pictures and a summary of the booking. I hope she is available to book for future trips!
Audrey was absolutely wonderful with our two cats! This was the first time my husband and I had someone outside of family or friends watch our boys, so we were a little nervous. From the moment we met Audrey, though, we felt comfortable knowing they would be in great hands. She is so kind and friendly, and our boys took to her right away! She was prompt, communicative, followed all of our care instructions, and spent time playing with the boys during her visits. We especially appreciated all the photos and detailed updates she sent us each time she visited. Hearing about their treats, playtime, and how happy they seemed was so reassuring while we were away! We could tell from the updates and when we got home that our boys were happy and well cared for. Audrey is trustworthy and caring, and we will absolutely book with her again whenever we’re out of town. We can’t recommend her enough! ☺️
My dog doesn’t like anyone but Kathleen won her over! I was very nervous about leaving my senior dog with a dog sitter but Kathleen was very communicative and positive. I am so grateful my dog had a good week, comfortable at home, while we could take a vacation.
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!
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!!

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 .

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.
