About: I have lived with and taken care of dogs for at least 20 years. I know the amount of attention, love, and affection they need. I will be sure to spend time with each animal to continue my support Right now, I have open availability to watch your pet. I am currently in school for my Masters and would be happy to stop by any time. I will be sure to care and love the animals I will service by going above and beyond what is expected of me during these check ins/walks
“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!”
“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.”
“Nicole was so great with our Lucy! She really loved her like her own. Lucy loved the long walks and extra snuggles with Nicole around. Will book again!!! Thanks a bunch for the help while I was away!!”
“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!”
“Anna was a godsend while we were out of town! She stayed at our house and we came back to it cleaner than when we left. She sent updates and pictures every day, which left us feeling at ease so we could fully enjoy our trip. Finding someone to house and pet sit can be stressful, but we are so glad we found Anna. I highly recommend her… we will definitely reach back out when we need a sitter in the future! Thank you, Anna🩷🩷”
“Mariju took amazing care of our two dogs. She sent great pictures throughout her stay, left the house in beautiful condition, walked them regularly and we can tell they both loved her! Would recommend to anyone and would book again”
“Another successful stay with Will! Our pups were genuinely excited to see Will…so much so, I don’t think they even noticed we left! Will was consistent with his communication, sending photos & videos & went above and beyond to ensure pills were administered on schedule while we were away. We had a trip free of anxiety thanks to Will & his care. We found a gem in a sitter!”
“Cassandra was great with our elderly little Shiba and his quirks and needs. She was communicative and responsive, patient, caring, and determined. We’re very thankful for her; we were incredibly at ease while away because we knew our goody old man was in good hands.”
“Aleksandra took great care of my cat Nutterbutter and she sent lots of pictures and videos while we were away! Highly recommend and we will most definitely be requesting Aleksandra!”
“Bianca was awesome with Cortez! She was very communicative throughout the entire stay and sent plenty of photo updates, which really put my mind at ease during travel. It’s clear she took great care of him. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter!”
About: I have 7 years of hands-on experience caring for my own cat, as well as previous experience caring for hamsters. I’m patient, gentle, and attentive with animals, and I understand the importance of following each pet’s individual routine, personality, and needs. I always aim to provide a safe, comfortable, and caring environment. As a college student, I have a flexible schedule outside of my classes and can make time for pet care throughout the week. I’m happy to work around each pet’s regular feeding, playtime, and care routine. I respect every pet’s individual personality, boundaries, and daily routine, as well as their owner’s care instructions. I’ll follow feeding, cleaning, and playtime routines carefully and keep their environment clean and comfortable. I’m patient and will always give pets the time and space they need to feel safe around me.
“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!”
“Such a great experience! Came and stayed in our home with our fur babies for a week over Christmas. One of our dogs was also taking medicine for his skin and he made sure he got it! Our home was still clean when we got home and our babies were very happy! Will be booking again!”
“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.”

Brian did an excellent job taking care of our 2 Great Danes on a last minute booking! He knew exactly what they needed and provided an environment that kept them safe. And gave us peace of mind that they would be well cared for while we were out of town. We will definitely book again with Brian.
thank you marie again for watching my dog and two cats and keeping them safe while I had major construction happening at home while I also had to go to work! marie was so sweet and attentive to my babies who were all super anxious and sent updates throughout the chaos. she is truly a gem!
Madison was awesome. My two dogs loved her. She was very caring and had great communication with me all weekend. She sent lots of pictures, which is always so nice. I will definitely use Madison again. I came home to a clean house and a cute note and Polaroid of my girls!
Filemon-Mateo is very kind, respectful and responsive. Although he is fairly new at rover at this point, he has a good instinct for responsibility and care for our dog Hooch. He happily went along with the comforts our dog is used to. Such as sleeping on the bed with the sitter and entertaining his affinity with socks and lots of tug o war with his toys. Filetmon-Mateo stayed at the house for several days and nights taking care of Hooch and I recommend him to others who need the same service. Thank you!
Cassie did an outstanding job caring for my home and my 19-year-old cat while I was away for two weeks. Leaving an elderly pet requires a great deal of trust, and Cassie exceeded my expectations in every way. She was reliable, dependable, and attentive throughout the entire time. Most importantly, my cat was clearly happy, comfortable, and well cared for when I returned. That alone speaks volumes about the quality of her care. I felt at ease knowing my home and pet were in such capable hands. I would highly recommend Cassie to anyone looking for a responsible and compassionate house and pet sitter.
Loved Meridith, and my pups loved her, she kept is well informed and updated with photos. She’s a lovely soul and we felt so comfortable around her, will be definitely booking her again. Boomer and Pearl loved her too, one of the reasons besides her amazing reviews, was a personal recommendation as well as the photos on her you can see the love and happiness in the fur babies. Thank you Meridith

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 August 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 August 2026, there are 5,097 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.
