About: Hi! I’m Kasia! I’ve grown up around pets my entire life and have always had a genuine love for animals. I’m caring, patient, attentive, and truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and routine. My goal is always to make your pets feel safe, comfortable, loved, and right at home while you’re away. I’d be so excited to meet your furry friends and give them the same love and care I’ve always given the animals in my life! My rates may vary depending on the number of pets, length of care, and responsibilities involved, but I’m always happy to be flexible and work with your needs. I work from home partially, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m happy to accommodate different routines and schedules. I prioritize safety, comfort, and trust. I follow each pet’s routine closely, keep their environment clean and secure, and make sure they receive plenty of care, attention, and supervision.
“James did a great job caring for our corgis along with our home while we were away. We appreciated the updates and felt our babies were well cared for throughout the stay. We know our corgis are full of personality, so we really appreciated the care and patience!”
“Desiree was AWESOME!!! Friendly, punctual, and genuinely loves pets! My dog loved her! I felt safe with him in her care! I highly recommend her!! I will definitely book with her again!”
“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!”
“Abby was fantastic! She left the house exactly the way it was when we left and took grammar care of our dogs while we were away. Highly recommend her and will definitely hire her 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!”
“Michelle was amazing and I’ll absolutely be asking her to house/pet sit again. She kept us updated and sent pictures while we were away and I could tell that my dogs and cat were all so comfortable with her! I found Michelle through the recommendation of a friend and I would also highly recommend her to my friends. Thanks, Michelle!”
“Morrigan is an amazing pet sitter! She sends pictures every day and our animals look so happy! It looks like she really kept them busy and gave them lots of love! I would recommend her every time!”
“Absolutely best rover ever. I’ve worked with a lot of rovers in the past with several moves between states. Aidaly is incredible professional, energetic, and an overall S-tier rover. I plan to keep her forever if I can. My pup peanut loved her the second they met. She took care of her daily with teeth brushing constant updates on my work trip and supports incredible love and care for my child she takes it to the next level. There’s a book called unreasonable hospitality and she reminds me of it because she goes more than the extra mile. She’s an instrumental part of peanuts life now :)”
About: I’m a reliable, active, and loving dog caregiver. I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, so I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. I also walk about 7 miles a day, so I’m very comfortable keeping up with active dogs and making sure they get plenty of exercise, playtime, and attention. Most importantly, I treat every dog like they’re my own! 🐾❤️ I currently work 9-5pm with 3 days in office and Tuesday and Thursday from home. I can do overnights, dog walking/feeding in the morning and evenings! I’m also open to boarding small dogs at my apartment. I have an apartment in a safe, dog-friendly community with a nice neighborhood nearby for walks, and my complex also has a dedicated dog park for exercise and play. If caring for a pet in my home, I would provide plenty of attention, walks, playtime, fresh water, and a safe, comfortable environment while following their normal routine. If caring for a pet in the client’s home, I would make sure they feel comfortable and cared for in their own space, follow their feeding, walking, medication, and potty routines, and give them lots of attention and companionship while respecting their home.
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: 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!
“Teal was absolutely wonderful with Barley and Angus! From the very beginning, his communication was excellent, and he kept us updated throughout the house sitting, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear how enthusiastic and genuinely caring he was about the dogs, and they absolutely loved him! Knowing that our pups were happy, well cared for, and in such good hands made our trip so much more relaxing. Teal was responsible, attentive, and a pleasure to work with. We would absolutely hire him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their pets!”
“Brianna was an absolute delight and wonderful house/cat sitter. She consistently communicated with us including videos and photos. Before our trip was over I had already booked Brianna for our next trip 😁. I highly recommend her for any of your pet needs. She showed my sweet cat all the love and I never worried about her.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 5 years old, and animals have been a huge part of my life ever since. I grew up with two German Shepherds that I walked and cared for daily, and I’ve continued pet sitting for family friends’ dogs and cats over the years. I’ve also fostered several dogs until they found their forever homes. Right now, I have four dogs of my own, so I’m very comfortable with all personalities, sizes, and energy levels. Your pet will be treated like family with me! I am currently a student at ASU and my schedule is completely open and can watch your pet or take it on walks whenever! Im on summer break so my schedules free! I can play with your pet and give them all the attention and care they need! I love animals and will bring water / bags if we go on walks, and if I pet sit and I will take good care of your animals!
“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!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Tempe Junction
Madison was absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of our two dogs while we were out of the country and gave us so much peace of mind. Both dogs ended up having some unexpected health issues during our trip, and Madison handled everything with patience, care, and attentiveness. She was extremely communicative, kept us updated throughout our time away, and made sure we always knew how the dogs were doing. It was such a relief knowing they were in good hands, especially being so far from home. She even left us the sweetest handwritten note and Polaroid of the dogs! We’re so grateful for her and would absolutely trust her to watch Bodhi and Sedona again. Highly recommend!
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!!
Deanna was amazing with our dogs and cat! She followed my instructions exactly, and sent lots of updates with photos. All of our pets have different personalities and she catered to each of them. She even bought our high energy dog a toy to play with inside since it was too rainy for a walk. We will definitely be asking her to pet sit again!!
Had a great experience with Sophie! My animals were well taken care of, and I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in good hands while I was away. Everything went smoothly, and I really appreciated the care and attention they received. Would definitely recommend and book again!
Emily was wonderful! She communicated consistently and timely during her stay with my dog. Everything was in order when I returned. She took the time to come and meet him before the housesitting, even though it was a bit of a drive for her. Definitely would book again!
It was wonderful to have Adi stay at our home with our dog and cat while we were out of the country. It made us feel comforted to know they were both in great hands. We would absolutely trust her to watch our pets and stay in our home anytime! We are so glad we found her ❤️
Aubrey was AMAZING!! she was always sending me updates, which i loved, and communication was great! my dog was so happy to play and cuddle with her! if you need someone who cares for your dog, Aubrey is definitely the person to go to. I will definitely be asking her to be back in the future!
Nancy took wonderful care of Wilson and gave me complete peace of mind while away. Wilson was well cared for and received her medicine each morning, and Nancy also took great care of my home. Everything was neat and in order when I returned. I really appreciated how responsible, attentive, and trustworthy she was and would absolutely have her care for Wilson again!

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
