“Brooke was amazing and my dog is very shy at first and she made her feel so comfortable and just at home. The updates are amazing Brooke sends and makes you feel at ease leaving your fur baby ?”
“Pamela is an amazing and caring dog sitter. We have had our furbaby stay with Pamela numerous times and have no hesitation in booking with her again.”
“Marina is such a great dog sitter! We highly recommend her! We were so relieved to have found her for our Doberman pup's first time being away from home. Both of our dogs enjoyed their time mingling with other dogs, running in the yard, and getting lots of attention. Thank you Marina!”
“What a wonderful experience having Ezra pet sat for our two pups. He was personable, communicative, kind and professional. He has designed a special place at his home to make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and engaged. He loves what he does and it shows.”
“Christi was amazing to work with. It’s clear she loves dogs and wants to make sure your pup has a good experience. She took wonderful care of my dog and went above and beyond when we thought Willow might have a UTI. My dog came home happy and tired. :) I will absolutely use her again!”
“Kaitlin is wonderful! She took excellent care of my blind, senior dog and sent daily updates. Her flexibility and communication were the icing on the top. Will definitely trust her to watch my pup again :)”
“Lana was perfect for my reactive border collie. Her place is quiet and Fizz got plenty of quality time inside and outside. Bonus that she let me park in the other side of her driveway so I could head directly to the airport after drop off then directly back, simplifying my travel plans greatly.”
“Our two pups had a great stay. They loved all the attention from the whole family. It was our first time with them for a Rover stay are we could not be happier. Now we know we have a loving sitter for Roxy and Titus the next time we head out of town. Highly recommend Kelly.”
“Huaqing watched both my cats for nine days and did an INCREDIBLE job!! I was so nervous about leaving them for so long but she sent me daily updates + pictures and they looked so happy :) I would definitely trust her to watch them again!!!”
“My dog and I both had very positive experience with Josi. She responded promptly to my request for boarding and kept in communication from our “meet & greet” to drop off to pickup. She followed Avi’s strict feeding schedule and administered his 2x daily insulin injections without a hitch. Josi struck me as uttterly capable and genuinely kind; and her furbaby is sweet and gentle. I’m satisfied that Josi cared for Avi as if he were her own and I highly recommend her services.”
About: Hello! I go by Mariah or Eclipse and I'm a lifelong animal lover with over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for pets of most breeds, sizes, and ages. From high-energy to senior dogs & cats, I know how to make every animal feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their humans are away. I treat every pet I care for like my own because I know how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your fur babies. What you can expect from me is: • Personalized attention and updates (photos & messages every visit!) • Reliable, responsible care and clear communication • Experience with medication administration, leash training, and special needs pets • A calm, loving presence that helps animals feel right at home Whether you need a safe place for your pet to be during the workday, overnight care, walks, or just someone to drop by and give your pet some love, I’m here to provide! I look forward to hearing from you!! I’m a parent to a senior pug with disabilities, he requires meds & love and sure doesn’t like me being away from home so I keep my work days to a minimum. I am independent hairstylist (I make my own schedule and don’t commit to more than 5 hours in a day or 3 days a week in salon). I have a huge fenced backyard with turf grass and shade/covered areas. In addition Bowden (my pug) that will keep your pups company. I can also provide a large soft crate or a walk up ramp if your fur baby needs it. I can adapt to your home very easily to care for your fur babies.
“We love having Rachel take care of our dog when we travel. We are at complete peace knowing he is best care. The photo updates make even better to see how much he is enjoying his stay. She even makes sure he took his medicine and takes him on walks! Can’t ask for anything more!”
“Absolutely amazing experience! My dog was happy, comfortable, and clearly well cared for during the stay. I received frequent updates, photos, and thoughtful communication throughout the booking. I truly appreciated the care and attention given to my dog and would not hesitate to book again. Highly recommend!!!!!!”
“Todd took exceptional care of Skippy and Sky! He kept us updated throughout their stay and sent plenty of photos, which gave us such peace of mind. It was clear they were in great hands. We’re confident we chose an outstanding Rover and will absolutely have Todd at the top of our list next time we need someone to look after Skippy and Sky.”
“Catherine was fantastic. Super accommodating! Boo had a great time with Mango as well. She came back home happy as can be. Thank you Catherine for taking care of Boo! We will definitely be reaching out for pup sitting again soon!”

Love Julia! And so does Coco ♥️ We did a meet and greet the day before, and when I came back the following day to drop her off, Coco was making all sorts of ridiculous sounds in her excitement once she realized where she was! I got photo updates and it worked out great for the weekend because Julia stayed with her the whole time (basically all Coco wants) and I felt super safe leaving Coco with Julia =) We'll definitely use her again in the future for weekends!
My black German shepherd got along great with Selina & her white German shepherd. Selina gave me daily updates & beautiful photos & videos of both of them playing together. I'd recommend her to all of my family and friends who need a reliable doggie sitter in her area.
Didi is a very professional and kind young lady- She even helped me take my dogs' kennels to and from my car! Both of my dogs loved being watched by her. I appreciate that Didi treated my two pups like her own, and took the time to note all the special cares that Ollie and Amber need. I was worried at first that my cautious but high-energy pup was going to have a more difficult time adjusting during my time away. However, Amber quickly took to Didi's warmth and gentleness, was super affectionate to her, and really connected with her. This gave me a great peace of mind while I was traveling. My doggos and I look forward to the next time they can vacation at Didi's! (˶^ ᵕ ^˶)
This was my first time using Rover, and I chose Sara because of her great reviews! She did a great job taking care of my puppy Udon. She was super sweet, patient, and easy to communicate with. I really appreciated that she was willing to help with my last-minute request, especially since my plans kept changing and I had to adjust the schedule a few times. She was very understanding and flexible throughout the whole process. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!
Todd and his wife were great with Susy! She stayed at their house for 3 nights and had a great time, especially getting to socialize and play with their dog, Sydney. They sent lots of pictures and kept us updated throughout her stay, which we really appreciated. We felt comfortable knowing Susy was in good hands. Highly recommend them and we would definitely book with them again!
Ashley took our rover request the day of and was very easy to meet and communicate with! She also sent plenty of pictures and updates of our dog throughout the day. We could tell that our dog had a great time during his stay with her. We will definitely be using her again and would recommend her to anyone!
Susan and Jim went above and beyond taking care of our baby. She had an absolute blast and didn't want to leave. Susan sent us lots of pictures and updates. Her communication was excellent and we had peace of mind during our entire trip. We can tell our Duchess was very well loved and taken care of. We will definitely be rebooking with Susan and would recommend the same to anyone else looking for a dog sitter who goes above and beyond. Thank you Susan and Jim!
Elena was amazing with both Mags and Lady. I was worried about leaving them with another dog as Mags can be a little reactive but everything went so smoothly and communication was top notch. Thank you for watching our babies and for anyone on the fence: book Elena and Meeka if you want a trustworthy and friendly person with an amazing dog who will be a fantastic playmate to your dogs.

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Tempe Junction can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Tempe Junction home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Tempe Junction.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Tempe Junction. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
You and your Tempe Junction sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in AZ ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
