“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!”
“I can't recommend her enough! She took such great care of my dog, Peanut, while I was away for the weekend, and I had complete peace of mind the entire time. She kept me updated with pictures and messages, and it was obvious how much she genuinely cared. Peanut came home happy, relaxed, and so well cared for. It's not easy trusting someone with your dog, but she made the whole experience stress-free. I will absolutely be booking with her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy dog sitter!🫶”
“Milla watched my cats for a long trip and she is great at communicating and was very professional. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter. She responded quickly when I had questions and my cats really liked her. She kept my space clean and tidy for when I came home as well. Thank you Milla!”
“Veronika was quick to respond to my initial request. This was for a short, but important trip. Veronika reassured me that my baby, Stache was in good hands, & I got the Rover cards with each visit. If she is available, I will definitely request Veronika again!”
“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.”
“Jovita was so awesome! So so good w/ both my dogs, one with past trauma leading to aggression at times. She gave him the space he needed all while filling his needs (potty breaks and food). She kept me updated, sent pics, and was great communicating. I will request her again any day to take care of my pups. Highly recommend!”
“Our cats were in good hands with Steph when we went out of town! She was punctual and provided good communication and many pictures. I would highly recommend Steph’s services!”
“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.”
“Alyssa is the best, she was so thorough and patient with our new rescue dog who was a little nervous while we were away for the first time. Dependable, communicative, and cares so much about our pets. Highly recommend!”
About: I have been caring for dogs for many years since I was a teenager. Since being part of a village means being a villager I am constantly helping care for animals of friends and family. I have a dog of my own whom I love and am always looking to interact with more. I am gentle, patient, reliable, and take caring for others pets very seriously. I work full time Monday through Friday until 5:30. I am available in the evenings on weekdays and fully available Friday through Sunday. I am very flexible. I can accommodate any dog’s needs easily. This can be as basic as feeding, walking, crating or more complex such as administering medication or bathing dependent on the instructions of the owners. I would care for the pets in the client’s home as my current residence does not allow pets.
“Teresa is absolutely wonderful. She is kind, patient, and genuinely caring. Her attention to detail and compassion gave me a lot of confidence that Leo was receiving the best possible care while I was away. I can’t recommend her highly enough!”
“Diana is the best pet sitter we’ve ever had! She is so thoughtful with the pups and goes above and beyond with her care for them. We won’t use anyone else to take care of our pups.”
“Aleksandra was absolutely amazing! She was on time, very communicative, and went above and beyond for our pups! One of our pups can be shy around new people, but he warmed up to her very quickly. Would highly recommend her to everyone and anyone looking for pet care. Will definitely be utilizing her services again in the future :)”
“Thank you, Estefany! Estefany is a great communicator and did really well checking in on my cat. She always provided great notes about how he was doing and really set my mind at ease while I was away.”
“As always Bella, thanks for taking such great care of our girl. Her box was clean and her food and water was full and clean too. We have another trip coming up towards the end of the month. I will send over a request we know more.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Tempe
Alyssa took care of our skittish cat who needed medications as well as our friendly outgoing cat while we were away. She was communicative, reliable, and professional. She even rinsed the cat dishes when they were done! It was so nice to know the cats (even the complicated one with injections) were in good hands. Alyssa was thorough and trustworthy and we would definitely book her again as well as recommend her to friends!
Erin did an amazing job taking care of my two cats while I was away! They are usually skittish around new people (the last cat sitter i used didn’t see either of my cats over a week). Erin though had them both playing with her and coming out to greet her and sent lots of updates
Claudia was amazing watching our 9mo old kitten Pepper! Leaving her alone for the first time was intimidating but Claudia made it such a seamless experience. We got pictures every day and she kept us updated on eating habits and any concerns. Would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a top tier pet sitter! Thank you so much!
Courtney did a phenomenal job with my cat Domi. She went out of her way to make sure my baby felt comfortable while I was away. She checked in on her every day, fed her, filled her feeder and went above and beyond for my girl. She is professional and trustworthy. I highly recommend Courtney to anyone looking for a phenomenal care taker for their pets.
Kyle was wonderful; not only did he make sure the kitties were ok when our AC went out unexpectedly during our trip (total nightmare if you own pets in AZ), he also somehow took such good care of our plants that they look better than before (??)! He was diligent and provided us with so many updates on the kittens, we really felt at ease from afar. Thank you so much! Highly recommend Kyle&Danielle!
I can't recommend her enough! She took such great care of my dog, Peanut, while I was away for the weekend, and I had complete peace of mind the entire time.

Milla watched my cats for a long trip and she is great at communicating and was very professional. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter. She responded quickly when I had questions and my cats really liked her. She kept my space clean and tidy for when I came home as well. Thank you Milla!
Olivia is such a great person and so kind! She watched my cat for a little over a week, and she was absolutely amazing! She took great care of my cat and kept me updated while I was away! My cat was happy and well cared for when I got home. I would definitely recommend Olivia to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!
Adrienne was absolutely incredible! Her report cards were so detailed and she sent so many photos of my baby. She was excited to care for my rabbit which is not something everyone would feel comfortable doing. From the photos I could tell Fiona May loved her. She came right up to her and even sat near her. I felt extremely at ease on my trip knowing she was being cared for by Adrienne and already booked with her again! She’s amazing!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Tempe on Rover is $21.09 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting 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 Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 7,450 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Tempe. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
