“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!!”
“Aleksandra took such great care of my two dogs and left the house in perfect shape. Made leaving the pups so much easier knowing they are in great hands!”
“Tabbs was an awesome sitter for both our dogs, Giles and Charlie, while we were in Sedona for our wedding. She sent regular updates throughout the day, was very responsive to texts, and made sure we were always in the loop. She also went out of her way to take care of some other critters around the house (such as feeding the fish) when she didn’t have to. We’ll definitely be using her again the next time we’re in AZ! Thanks Tabbs!”
“Kim always does a great job, we know our dog is in great hands with her. She takes great care of our home and leaves everything very tidy. We get lots of photos and updates during her stays. This most recent stay, we had our Internet go out right before she was due to stay and wasn’t going to be fixed during the stay, she was willing to be flexible and have Cooper at her place while working. Will definitely use again!”
“Gigi was wonderful, she kept me updated on my kittens the entire time she was there. I will most definitely be booking with her again for any future needs!”
“Heaven took great care of our house and two furbabies. She contacted me everyday morning and night and sent a lot of pictures. We were able to be away with no worries. Thank you Heaven! We will definitely call you again.”
About: Growing up, I lived with my grandparents who had at the time 10 dogs and 8 cats. I was always around animals and that taught me how to care for them, be patient, and understand how to properly love them. I attend Arizona State University and I am currently taking an animal based course which has also helped me learn even more about animal behaviour and care. I’m currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to spend time with the doggies. I am available 24/7. I will always make time to play. I am very respectful towards my clients property. I will follow any rules and instructions given to me no questions asked. I will keep a clean, safe environment for their pets.
About: Arianna and I are a young, professional couple and have a huge love for animals, especially dogs! We have 4 of dogs of our own and share custody of them with a family friend. Our dogs would NOT be with us during the sit. We are transitioning to a new home and thought this would be a great way to save money for moving but also to help someone in need as well. As fur Moms, we love all animals and would treat yours with the same attention and care as we do with our own. That same respect would, of course, extend to respecting your home as we would our own home. Arianna also was once a veterinary technician and has great insight on how to take care of animals beyond what the average person may or may not be aware of. She’s also had cats of her own is familiar with how to tend to them as well. So, both of those facts are great added bonuses. Working remotely helps out a lot in this area. With my being home all day for work and Arianna currently looking for office work in the Behavioral Health field, that still allows her to assist me whenever necessary. Together, we’ve made it work! We make sure to have meet and greets with all clients (virtual and/or in person) to ensure all safety measures, dietary and medical questions are asked by both us and the pet parents before accepting a sit.
“Sarah did a good job with Bob, Boo and Trudy, who is a senior dog with vision issues. I got photos and updates which put me at ease especially with Trudy. Will definitely book with Sarah again for future trips.”
“Marianne is really good with our dog. We added a foster pup at the last minute and she was very nice about accepting the pup and watching them both. I would use her services again.”
“Ava watched our dog William for us while we were gone for a summer vacation and did a wonderful job! William had a great time with her and she kept him busy and happy, while also providing us updated while we were gone. Excellent dog/house sitter!”
“She was wonderful in making sure our dogs and cats all got their attention from her especially our Ash. She took our swimmer out many times throughout the day to let her swim. Sent photos and updates. House was clean as well as the linens she used were washed and put away. She was great! Highly recommend”
About: Animals have been a part of my life since I was five years old. Growing up, I gained hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, from tiny pups to large breeds, learning how to adapt to different energy levels and exercise requirements. For the past three years, I have also provided dedicated care for my cat, mastering feline routines, playtime, and personalities. I treat every pet like my own family, focusing on safety, consistency, and plenty of affection. I would love to get to know your furry family members. I’m currently going to school full time so I have lots of spare time on weekends to take care of your pets. I’m also free Tuesday and Thursday mornings and Friday, Thursday, and Wednesday afternoons. When caring for pets in a client's home, safety and respect for their property are my top priorities. Before the stay begins, I will talk throughly with the client to better understand the pet's exact routine, medical needs, and any house rules. To ensure a safe environment and build trust, I always: • Maintain Home Security: I strictly follow instructions for keys, security codes, and alarms. I ensure all doors and windows are locked whenever I leave the house. • Prevent Escapes: I double-check that collars and harnesses are secure before walks. I never let dogs off-leash in unfenced areas and always verify yard gates are locked. • Follow Routines Directly: I keep feeding, medication, and crating schedules identical to what the owner provides to minimize pet stress. • Prepare for Emergencies: I ask for the contact details of the pet's primary vet and the nearest 24/7 emergency clinic before the owner leaves. • Stay in Touch: I send regular photo and text updates through Rover so owners have total peace of mind while they are away.
“Will was a fantastic sitter. He shared photos & videos of our dogs which made us feel connected while we were away and trust they were in good hands. He left the house in pristine condition. Would absolutely recommend him and work with him again when we have a need!”
About: I’ve taken take of many different types of dogs from big to small for about ten years. I have one of my own and we have been successful. I love dogs to death and will go above and beyond! If you don’t believe me give me a shot, you’ll be surprised! I am currently a college student and this is my side hustle just to earn a bit of money to take care of myself for college. Have no problem staying at home and just working on school work while I look after your pet! I make sure I always know what your dog is doing as I am always active with your dog. I make sure to keep clients personal stuff to them. I do my own thing and just focus myself on your beloved dog and always trying to keep things tidy and clean!
“Todd was absolutely the best person we could have asked for to watch our puppy! He was very communicative, sending professional grade photos and keeping us in the loop consistently throughout our vacation. Very respectful of our home and even helped continue our training. We feel like we got more than we could have asked for and will definitely be requesting Todd again in the future.”

Heaven was awesome! She sent updates daily to keep us posted on how our dogs were doing, including photos of them eating each meal, playing, and in bed. We will definitely be hiring her in the future! Our pups were happy at home with her and we had the peace-of-mind that they were being taken care of while we were gone, couldn’t be happier!
Christina stayed at our house with our dog Teddy for a week and a half, and we never worried about a thing. She was quick to reply, easy to communicate with, & very polite and respectful. She sent us updates and pictures and we returned home to find Teddy and the house in wonderful shape. We hope to book with her again the next time we need to be away and would highly recommend her to others! She's responsible and wonderful at her job! :)
Could not recommend more!! Brian accepted a last minute booking to watch my dog and cat as well as house sit. From the start, he was extremely communicative. He sent lots of pictures and provided many updates throughout the day. When I came home, my pets were happy and healthy and my home was very clean and tidy. Will be booking again in the future! Thanks Brian!
We seriously cannot recommend Filemon enough! He was absolutely AMAZING with our puppy, Pippin, over Halloween weekend. He was incredibly communicative, sent lots of pictures and updates, and made us feel so comfortable knowing Pippin was in great hands. Pippin was so happy, and it was clear he received so much love and attention! Filemon even went above and beyond by making the bed and cleaning up after himself and Pippin before we got home, which was such a thoughtful surprise! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will absolutely be booking with him again. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our little guy! ❤️🐾
Emily was great! She came over and met with myself and my dog, Tag before the sit. Tag is usually really nervous with people, but she still felt comfortable enough with him to watch him! During the sit she kept me updated with texts and pictures even though sometimes I was out of cell range, she sent updates. Tag was happy and healthy when I got home and the house was immaculate! Thank you Emily for your great care of Tag and my home. We'd be happy to have you back!
Cassie was so wonderful and patient with our anxious little pup. She kept us in the loop with quick messages and great pictures. She was so flexible and helpful when our travel plans were rearranged and truly put my mind at ease that Buckley was safe and happy. We’ll definitely rebook!
Bri is such a wonderful petsitter! We don’t even worry about our cats when she is there! She takes the time to send tons of photos and videos while we’re gone, which helps so much and makes us feel so much better that the cats are doing well! She genuinely loves animals and goes out of her way to spend time with them and make sure they are played with and cared for. We will be asking her to pet sit any time we are out of town and so grateful to have found her! Would highly recommend her to anyone!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Tempe Junction is $48 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $26 and $83 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 5,006 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work 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.
