“Cedell was great! I came home and saw that the tv was set to pet tv and our window ledge for the cats was fixed after it had fallen off. I could tell our babies were so well cared for and communication was fantastic!”
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.
“Best dog sitter we have had. Had a longer trip and we got constant updates. Our dog was extremely happy in the sitters hands and we didn’t have any issues. She was able to adapt to our dog and left the house clean and taken care of.”
About: I bring a fresh, devoted perspective to pet sitting, caring for hyperactive, senior, sibling, and loud dogs with patience, love, and genuine passion unmatched by lifelong dog owners. With a flexible class schedule I have plenty of free time to dedicate to your pups! The rest of my week is wide open, giving me the flexibility to provide dogs with attentive, loving care. I care for pets in their own homes with love and reliability, having dog sat while owners were out of town, always remaining respectful and responsible toward their property.
“Jadon cared for our dog Jasper for 10 day stretch while we were on vacation. He sent daily pics, kept Jasper active and well taken care of. He communicates timely and the house was immaculately clean when we got back! Highly recommended!”
“Amazing service, as always! Great communication before and during the stay - I always feel so secure getting the regular updates, with photos, a few times a day. (I have let her know that I do like those, although I’m sure if you didn’t want to be bothered she would provide them less frequently.) My home and my pup were both in great shape when I returned. There was a chance my flight may have been delayed and they let me know they were flexible with coming back if needed, which takes a lot of stress out of it. Thanks as always - highly recommended!”
“Kim rocks! This is our second time booking her and she did a wonderful job yet again! Lots of pictures and videos, which we love and appreciate so much. Our pups love to snuggle with Kim! Will definitely book her again! Thanks again, Kim!”
“Desiree as always is amazing. She assures my pets are loved and well cared for, even sending me pics to let me know all is well at home. Better yet, my house is spotless when I come home. Who could ask for any more!”
“Took great care of my high energy dog while away for the Holiday weekend. My dog has some separation anxiety issues so I wanted to make him feel more comfortable by staying in his safe place as a recent rescue. I came home to a very happy dog.”
“Nicole was amazing with my dog. She was communicative and sent lots of photos and videos during the stay. Super friendly and made me feel at ease while I was away.”
About: Hello, my name is Lorissa! I currently have two male cats named Waffles and Nelson, who is a new kitten to the family. I also have two betta fish, a boy named Lamont and his sister, April. In the past I have had a Siberian husky named Angelica. I love animals and can’t wait to someday adopt a dog. On occasion I have watched my friend’s Australian shepherd, Riley and drop ins for a family friend’s two cats. I would love to continue working with pets. I have always loved being near animals and learning about each pet I have come across. I am available to take care of your pet in your home and give walks around the neighborhood. Please feel free to contact me anytime. I am looking forward to start working with pets again! I am currently working full time with 12-13 hour shifts so I have availability in the mornings before my shifts or after shifts. I can do morning, afternoon or evening visits on weekends. Caring for pets in my home or a client’s home includes play time as well as giving them food and water. I will also take your dog out of a walk and to go potty.
“Will was absolutely amazing with Calvin and took such great care of both him and our home while we were away for the weekend. He went above and beyond in every way and handled an unexpected situation with so much care, attentiveness, and professionalism. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Calvin was in such good hands. Will is dependable, kind, and clearly someone who genuinely cares about the pets he watches. I would absolutely book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy who will truly show up and get the job done.”
“Mayala did amazing with watching our girls. She sent lots of pictures and kept both our high energy dogs entertained and comfortable during her stay. She also made sure our home was in tip top shape before leaving. Would highly recommend and would book again!”
“Literally the best pet and home sitter! Teal is so communicative and takes initiative. We received photo and text updates while away for the whole week. You can tell Teal cares so much about pets, but also the owners. Such a kind soul, will absolutely rebook with Teal in the future!”
“Hanna did a great job watching my 2 dogs! She was very communicative and sent me lots of photos and updates. She followed all instructions and I could tell the dogs were very happy with her. I would love for her to sit for me again!”
About: I've owned dogs and cats my entire life and have experience caring for a wide range of sizes/breeds, from chihuahuas to English Mastiffs. I'm comfortable with cats and dogs of all ages! I'm currently a student at Arizona State University, but my class schedule allows me a lot of free time. I am available for overnight stays Thursday-Monday, and can fit daytime walks & pop-ins throughout the week/weekends. I've always viewed my pets as part of my family, so I understand how important it is to leave them in good hands. I make it a goal to stick to both pets' and owners' schedules/routines and am always willing to shower animals with as much love/attention as they desire!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Tempe Junction
Jamie was a fabulous dog / cat / house sitter while we were on vacation! After our “go-to” sitter cancelled on us, Jamie was quick to respond and came through for us like a champ! Charlie and Louis were both super happy when we arrived home which for any pet parent is so important. We could tell they were well taken care of and shown a lot of love while we were gone! Jamie checked in with us everyday and sent lots of pics of our fur babies. Jamie is awesome and we will definitely be using her in the future!
Marie was so great to work with! She was house sitting my dog and 2 cats for the weekend and I was trying to find someone that could give my babies lots of human time and attention based on a previous bad experience, and Marie surpassed my expectations! She sent lots of pictures and updates throughout and followed all instructions. My cats eat wet food 3 times a day with toppings and she sent me what she made every meal. She even helped clean up some of the litter that tracked on the floors. I felt like they were in the greatest hands and got amazing care and so I was able to enjoy my trip! Can’t wait to book Marie again!
Teal is honestly the best pet sitter I've ever had! And I've worked with many over the years, so I was SOOO pleasantly surprised! 😊 Teal was wonderful about communicating, sending updates and photos, and I could tell there was a genuine love and care for my pets. It was obvious Teal went above and beyond to make sure my pets were happy, comfortable, and well cared for—and truly enjoyed spending time with them. Not only that, but I came home to a super tidy house, which was such a thoughtful touch and so appreciated! If you're looking for someone who is dependable, caring, and treats your pets like family, I can't recommend Teal enough. You will not be disappointed!
It’s never easy inviting someone you don’t know into your home to care for your most precious family members, but we gave Jadon the opportunity, and he exceeded our expectations. Jadon stayed at our home for five days while caring for our three dogs, two cats, and our reptiles, and he did an outstanding job. He was respectful of our home, dependable, and took excellent care of every one of our animals. We came home to happy, healthy pets and a well-cared-for house. Throughout our trip, Jadon communicated with us by asking questions when needed, sending photos, and providing regular updates. His thoughtful communication gave us real peace of mind and made it clear that he genuinely cared about our pets. We are so grateful for the care he provided and would absolutely recommend Jadon to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and compassionate pet sitter. We wouldn’t hesitate to book him again! Thanks Jadon!!!
Our dogs are our children now that we have an empty nest. They are spoiled and it's hard for us to leave them behind when we travel. We were so glad to have found Maria. She is extremely kind and caring. She watched our babies at our house and was very patient with our list of weird things our dogs did/needed. We got regular pupdates and we were extremely happy with her care. It's hard to have a stranger in your house and caring for your loved ones but we felt confident with Maria that both the house and the pups were in good hands. We will be using her services regularly.
Carly was the best! I’m super picky about who I leave my animals with and she made me feel so comfortable the entire time with tons of photos & updates. She loved on my boys like they are her own and I will definitely be reaching back out the next time I travel!
Courtney always goes above and beyond with Wendy! She sent me lots of pictures and played with her so much. She is caring and loving of all animals and amazing with dogs. Wendy is shy and skeptical if she doesn’t know someone, but she has adored Courtney since the moment they met.
I have used Charlie multiple times, and will continue to do so. I have no complaints, He is great with my dog and cat and they love him! Charlie sends updates and pics when I’m away, the peace of mind that provides is unmeasurable! Thank you Charlie for all you do!

FAQs for House Sitting - Tempe Junction
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Tempe Junction on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 5,069 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Tempe Junction. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Tempe Junction walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Tempe Junction maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Tempe Junction choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
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.

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.
