“Tabbitha took excellent care of my kitties and promptly sent me visit cards with photos each time, which I really appreciated. She is quick to respond to messages and I felt relieved to have someone so caring and conscientious looking after my kids while I was away.”

About: I have experience caring for my own dogs back home, which has taught me the importance of patience, responsibility, and giving pets the love and attention they deserve. As a dog lover, I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I understand that pets are family, and I will care for your dog as if they were my own. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure your furry friend receives the care and attention they need while you’re away. I currently work part-time, so I have plenty of free time to give your pup the attention, care, and playtime they deserve. I’m available on Wednesdays and weekends, and I love spending time with dogs, whether it’s going for walks, playing, or simply keeping them company. Your furry friend will be treated with the same love and care I give my own dogs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, and any routines your pet is used to. I keep dogs supervised and make sure they are secure during walks. I’ll also send regular photos and updates so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is safe, happy, and getting lots of attention.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and can’t imagine a day without them. I also loved and cared for a cat while growing up! Since 2018, I’ve owned and trained my Labrador, including obedience work and therapy dog certification. He enjoys daily walks and hikes with me, keeping me active and in tune with his needs. I’ve also cared for many different breeds and sizes from medium dogs to larger dogs such as a German Shepherd, Pitbull, and even a Great Dane. I would help with walks, playtime, and training. In college, I volunteered at an animal shelter, where I gave dogs exercise, socialization, and comfort while they waited for homes. I bring patience, love, and reliability to every pet I care for! While my weekday availability is limited to mornings or evenings, I’m happy to offer walks and drop-ins on weekends when you need extra support for your pets. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets and home. I always make sure walks are safe and enjoyable, keeping your pets secure and happy. During drop-ins, I will carefully follow your instructions and make sure your pets’ needs are fully met. I go above and beyond to give them attention, playtime, and care so they feel happy, comfortable, and loved, and I leave your home just the way you want it.

About: I've watched big and small dog play groups, filled with pups of all sizes and energy levels and grew up with 3 pups of my own! I can administer basic medication, provide frequent potty breaks, walks, and lots of playtime. Im a part time student with lots of time at home, and when I am on campus, I’m no more than an 15 minute walk away with plenty of gaps in between classes so your pet is never left unattended for long periods of time. I can follow your pets normal routine or adjust based on AZ’s weather for outside activities! My apartment offers a fenced in dog playground, grassy spots, and a walking trail with plenty of sniff spots 🐾 We can also enjoy simple enrichment activities or cuddles.

About: I provide loving, dependable care for dogs of all ages, including senior pups and dogs with medical needs. I understand the patience, attention, and extra care some dogs require, and I’m committed to keeping your furry family member comfortable, safe, and happy in their own home while you’re away. 🐾 Having left my own dogs in other sitters care before, I know how nerve wracking it can be. I’ll give you as many updates as you would like to make sure your mind is at ease! I work from home and have a very flexible schedule Monday through Friday. Saturday’s and Sundays I am completely free! I will be able to make one trip before work, one trip for a lunch break which I chose the time for, and one trip after work hours. The trips before and after work, I can stay for longer periods to give your pet company. The trip during my lunch would be to allow them to go outside or give them medicine or anything which that may need during the day. I’m good at following instructions and have a strong intuition. I will make sure everything is as close to normal for your pet as if you were just at work or gone for a few hours.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats ever since I was able to be left home alone. Often times taking care of my parent’s pets, most of whom were energetic labs, over weekends while my parents were out of town. Into adulthood I’ve continued to take care of my parent’s and friend’s animals. I’ve volunteered at my hometown’s Humane Society taking care of animals from puppies and kittens to seniors. I am a responsible person who will make sure that your baby is well looked for and will provide a safe and comforting experience for them while they are in my care. I currently work part time in the evenings and weekends. Making my schedule perfect for when you need a sitter while you’re at work! I also have a few gaps a few weeks in the year where I can be more available for your pet! Not only have I pet sit before but I’ve also house sat a few times. I will treat your home with the upmost respect and can even water a few plants on top of pet care! I’m comfortable being alone with numerous pets of all sizes and will treat their space with care.

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.

About: I’ve had my Maltipoo since I was 12 and he’s been with me through every thing even college so I understand the difficulty of finding someone you trust to watch your fur babies. He doesn’t have any eyes and hasn’t for the last 4 years so that’s an added challenge and I want to be able to provide others with quality dog watching they can trust just like I look for when hiring someone for my dog. I’ve been dog sitting for about 10 years and can provide references. I’ve been flown to different states to house and dog sit for families because they knew they could trust me. I work from home and have a lot of flexibility in my schedule so it makes it easy to provide care for different schedules and needs! I have a fenced yard with a pool and considering my dog can’t see I’m typically supervising outside time and my other dog is very anxious to be alone so I am used to being there when pets are outside. My home is dog friendly considering I have 2 dogs myself, one small dog and one medium dog. Both dogs get along well with people and other dogs and have had dogs stay with us and we haven’t had issues yet!

About: Hi there, I’m actively looking to take of your fur babies! Whether it be a cat or dog I’m here to assist. I have two special needs dogs of my own so I’m familiar with needing to administer different types of medications. If you’re dog is diabetic and needs his meds at a certain time I’m your girl! My dog Finley is now diabetic so I know it can be stressful for both of you. I’m also here to just take care of puppies by letting them out when you’re at work or walking some dogs that need to get out during the day to burn off some energy! At this time I’m taking a break from the corporate life to focus on finding a career that’s more rewarding! This gives me lots of flexibility to take care of your babies! I have years of experiences not only taking care of my dog but others as well. Even the dogs that are more shy I can slowly get to warm up to me. It’s important to build a trusting relationship with them so they are excited to see me when I walk in the door cause they know I’m a safe space for them!

About: My experience caring for family pets began at 16 years old. A noteworthy pet sitting involved caring for a household with one female dog, her six newly born puppies, two adolescent dogs, and a senior dog for a week and a half. I believe this highs shows my ability to handle diverse pet household needs. Also, I have gained some experience in pet care for cats since October 2023. I work 12-hour shifts from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sundays, Mondays, Tuesdays, and every other Wednesday. I am available every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, along with every other Wednesday. I can inform you if I have that week's Wednesday off or not when you send your request. As a pet owner of a dog and a cat, I understand that each pet requires a unique approach to their daily habits and needs. I will stand by your instructions for the care of your pet(s), with the consideration I expect when others care for my own pets when I'm away. I hold no judgment over their care needs.

I could tell she really cared about them and took time to give them pets and play with them. It definitely took my mind off of leaving them so I could enjoy my vacation. 100% will definitely be booking her again.”

About: I’ve been a pet sitter since I was 11 years old. Neighbors, friends, family, and other clients have trusted me time and time again to watch their home and fur babies. Many have appreciated the light cleaning I’ve done while they enjoy their vacation/other travels! I am currently attending a school program Monday to Friday from 2 PM to 6 PM. I have my own car so quick drop ins would be a breeze as well as overnight stays. I have no pets in my own home currently as I recently moved to Arizona. When caring for pets in their home, I typically remain in shared spaces, playing with the animals, or working on my laptop on a couch or chair. I sleep in any guest room/bedroom I’m provided with. and clean up before leaving. Upon the owners return, they’d never even know I was there!

Sierra is amazing and will take great care of your furry friend! Figgy can be a little shy at first, but she immediately warmed up and felt comfortable with Sierra. Sierra provided great updates from the visit and included a lot of photos of Figgy. We will definitely be booking her again!

We are very happy with our decision to hire Jadon! Trusting someone to both have access to our house and care for our cats for an extended time is not something that comes easily for us, but after a quick meet and greet, we immediately felt comfortable and confident in our choice. Jaden was friendly and polite, took great care of the kitties, reliably showed up each time, sent photos and a message after each visit, quickly asked questions when something seemed off, and did exactly as asked. We were able to worry much less being away for a few weeks. We will hire him again and definitely recommend. Jaden may not have as many reviews yet as others on the site, but this is by far the best pet sitting experience we have had.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Tempe Junction

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Tempe Junction is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $33 per visit. 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 7,523 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Tempe Junction. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Tempe Junction. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% can help with daily exercise

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.

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.
