“Marie went above and beyond to take care of our dogs and our house while we were away. She is extremely thoughtful and handles every aspect of watching our dogs with care. We will definitely be requesting her again in the future!”
“Meredith was the most amazing person; literally an angel on earth. I was an out-of-state couple in for a wedding, forced to bring my 2 lovely pups with me when my dog sitting fell through. She literally saved me so I could go to the wedding. I'm so grateful, there's no way to describe it. She helped my dogs stay calm and happy while we were away, and I literally would've missed out on so much without her. A gem among humans, for sure. Would 1000% recommend.”
“Cedell was great at communicating and taking care of our pups and house. She came and met them before we left so they could get to know her. We got photos and video's and knew what was going on the whole time. We would definitely ask her to care for our pups again.”
“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!”
“She’s a superhero! Our family loves Kim! She took wonderful in home care of our pups while we were away on an international trip. She sent us tons of videos and pictures which kept us close when we were so far away. Great response time! Reliable! Highly recommend her services and will try to book her again (she’s in high demand!) whenever we need a sitter. Thanks for everything, Kim!”
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!
“Mae was a wonderful and caring sitter for my dog Winston. She went above and beyond and you can tell she really cares for and loves animals. She took care of Winston’s needs well and I cannot recommend her enough!”
“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!”
“Audrey was very kind, responsive, and great for our little last minute fiasco. The pups really seemed to enjoy their time with her and we were able to enjoy the day not worrying about the care our pups were provided!”
“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!”
“Will was fantastic with our Golden Retriever, Moose! He kept us updated throughout the stay with photos, videos, and messages, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Moose was happy, well cared for, and clearly thriving the entire time. Will was communicative, reliable, and took great care of both our dog and our home. We would absolutely book with him again and highly recommend him!”
“This is our 2nd time using Cat for our 2 dogs and 1 cat. She sent multiple pictures a day and we came home to our apartment cleaner than before we left! We have a sassy dog and Cat was able to get her to be held within a minute of meeting again! I will definitely be using her again. :)”
“10 Stars for Gigi and her care of our 19week old puppy for 3 days. 1. On time 2. Great communication 3. And she even did dog training… or it was really parent training. Thanks Gigi. Gordy, Jana and Drama Blu who loves you.”
“Nicole is so kind and friendly, provides frequent updates, detailed care, and helped us out in a pinch. I can’t recommend her enough. She asked great questions to ensure care was consistent and correct, which was important as we have a senior, special needs dog with an extremely complicated med regimen. The house was left in excellent condition and I never felt like I was waiting for the next update. If you want excellent pet care, hire Nicole.”

Grace was absolutely amazing! She watched my two dogs over the 4th of July weekend, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She kept me updated, made sure they were well cared for, and gave them lots of love and attention. One of my dogs gets an little anxious with fireworks, and Grace was incredibly patient and attentive, making sure he felt safe and comfortable throughout the weekend. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. I highly recommend Grace to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy dog sitter!
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!
Cadence is an absolutely wonderful sitter! She has such a natural, calming way with animals and is incredibly sweet. She gave our doodle tons of love and attention the entire time we were away. We highly recommend her and look forward to having her watch our pup next time we are away!
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.
