“Olivia did a great job pet sitting for us. She was reliable, attentive, and took excellent care of our pets. She also communicated very well throughout the entire time, keeping us updated and giving us peace of mind while we were away. We would definitely recommend her and would be happy to have her pet sit again.”
“We are so grateful for Rachel ! We had a last minute booking and she was super communicative about availability and flexibility with our fur babies. She was always updating us on how they were doing during her check ins. Razor and Blueberry absolutely loved her and felt very comfortable with her specially when she brought them some treats!! We will definitely be reaching out again:)”
“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! She accepted my request very last minute. She followed my care instructions and sent me an in-depth update on how my little creatures were doing. She’s communicative and very friendly! This was my first time using her and I’ll definitely be rebooking. Thank you Estefany!”
“This is the second time I have used Teresa T. She has been great. I truly appreciate her passion for what she does. I feel my fur babies are in good hands with her. I would definitely use and recommend her again.”
“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 :)”
“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’ve had all types of pet dogs (small, medium, large) that I’ve learned how to take care of. I have been paid to watch and clean family members dogs in the past. I am young so I am able to do more labor. I am able to give dogs oral medication, and have experience using medicinal creams on dogs. I am able to (and love to!) play with dogs to make sure they have fun. I am no squeamish with cleaning up after animal mistakes, and I can care for multiple dogs as once including puppies and seniors! I’m soon to be enrolled in college full time. I can care for pets over weekends for the full day, and Friday’s after 10 am!! Until school starts though, (August 9th) I am free every day at every time!! If needed, I can watch animals at my mom’s house which has a nice, fenced backyard to play in along with 3 others dogs and 2 cats. (Will mention, one cat is more fiesty with other animals, but i will be putting her in a separate space, and the most she could do is claw) I don’t think I would recommend my mom’s home for seniors or puppies due to an overstimulating environment and a 5 year old.
“Morgan did a great job watching over my kitties and house while I was out of town! She was always on time for the visits and followed all the instructions I left for her. I definitely recommend her!”
“Alyssa was amazing! She did check-in visits at our home for 5 days while we were out of town. From the first meeting with her I could tell she was professional and loves working with animals. She seems very trustworthy and honest. Every check-in, her notes were thorough, which I really appreciated. She sent a bunch of photos as well. My dogs always looked happy. I would definitely recommend her and will be using her in the future! Thanks so much, Alyssa!”
“Kristen was amazing! Kristen was really prompt with responding to the request, able to do a meet-and-greet quickly, and was so responsive while I was out of town. She was so good with my cat, Hailey. Hailey is normally really nervous around new people, but she warmed up to Kristen and I got many pictures of Hailey rolling around just being herself. I absolutely recommend using Kristen as a sitter and plan on booking with her again.”
“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.”
“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...”
“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!”
“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%.”
“Lorissa did an amazing job! Gave good updates and reviews of their behavior during walks and drop in visits while i was out of town. She took plenty of pictures to show how they were doing during their walks and once they were back inside eating and playing!”
About: Hello, my name is Sierra! As a dog mom myself and working as a veterinary technician, I understand the importance of any pet parent finding a reliable and honest petsitter. I'd like to start out by saying it's my goal to make sure your pets safety and health is number one! I'm very observant and patient so your pet will always be on watch and cared for. Been around animals since I can remember and have experience with many animals. I always aim to satisfy everyone and the comfort of animals in any environment. Currently working as a relief technician so my availability is quite flexible. Depending how often a client wants check in/walks, I’m willing to extend my hours considering how hot it gets as well. Either dropping in on a client’s home so a pet can be comfortable in their own environment or having them come to my place. I do have a dog who is well mannered and enjoys meeting new friends.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Tempe is $20

There are no words to express how thankful I am to have found Maegan as a sitter for our pups! Maegan is caring, attentive, and always willing to go the extra mile for your pets. As someone who is picky about who I leave my dogs with, I could not recommend Maegan enough.
Carly took wonderful care of our dog, Rosa, for five days, visiting our home twice a day to feed her and spend time with her. She sent us photos after every visit, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Rosa was happy and relaxed when we got home, and we could tell she had been very well cared for. We would definitely book Carly again and highly recommend her!
Estefany was wonderful with my puppy! She was very caring and attentive, communicated with me promptly, and sent regular photo updates, which made me feel completely at ease. My puppy clearly loved spending time with her. I’m so grateful for the care she provided and lucky can continue working with her regularly!
Bridget was absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of our corgi puppy, Bubbles, and gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She was reliable, communicative, followed all of our instructions carefully, and treated Bubbles like he was her own. It was clear she genuinely cared about making sure he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We really appreciated her kindness, professionalism, and attention to detail. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Bridget again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter! Thank you so much Bridget!
This is my second time booking with Adrienne and she’s still so amazing :) Her report cards are so detailed and she sends so many photos which I absolutely love. She cares so much for Fiona May and not only makes sure she is safe and well fed but also properly stimulated and loved. As a helicopter bunny mom, I feel like I’ve won the lottery finding Adrienne. She is truly special.
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Tempe on Rover is $21.4 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 7,438 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:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
