About: I’ve owned dogs and cats since I was nine years old! I have pretty good understanding of how to best care for dogs and cats from small to big. I’ve also always been the “can you wash the dogs” person in my family, so if you need your dog to get a wash when I go see them, I can definitely do that too! Since I just graduated from college, I do have a more open day time schedule during the week, and my weekends have opened up a lot more. There will absolutely be no trouble with taking care of your doggos and cats week days from 11am-4pm and weekends from 12-5pm! At my house I do have a fenced in backyard, and a big neighborhood to walk the dogs through so they get thorough walk time! I also can crate your dog before I leave so they don’t run wild in the house, if you needed that!

About: I am thankful to have grown up in a home with many animals. Over the past 22 years, I have loved and had the opportunity to take ownership of about 8 dogs and 2 cats. They have all been lovely and I could not have imagined my childhood without them being apart of it. I have been fortunate enough to have friends at school that are pet owners and have been given the opportunity to build relationships with their dogs, and even get to care for them when they have been away. This has given me the chance to still connect with dogs, while being away at college. I thought, why not try to make this an even bigger opportunity and try to meet more dogs right where I’m at! We currently have 4 dogs at home and I have had the pleasure of walking and spending time with each of them when I visit home on the weekends or am home for holiday breaks. Every dog we have owned has been very unique, so I’ve learned how to tailor my care taking methods to each one of their individual needs. From our high energy pups who love to chase tennis balls to older dogs who enjoy a leisurely stroll, I’ve realized that every one of our furry friends is special in their own way and deserve intentional care and love! Feeding time, special treats, doggie cuddles, and bath time when necessary are always my top priority for your furry friend to ensure they are comfortable and feeling fully loved while in my care. Safety is always my top priority! I always make sure that safe leashes (harnesses preferred) are used and proper walking etiquette is performed to ensure a positive and stress-free experience for your precious pet! As well as your pets maintaining hydration in this hot Texas heat. I am currently working a part-time job Monday, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 9:00am-12:00pm, as well as performing as a full-time student at Texas A&M University. My week days are available early mornings before work and classes begin, along with afternoons in between classes for potty breaks, toy time, and special treats and later evenings for walks and end of the day care. Thursday through Sundays are typically my most flexible days and would be the most suited for pet boarding in your home, or my home. The weekends are consistently my most available days for any type of pet or home care. As a trusted pet sitter, I have provided care for countless dogs while their owners were away. I understand how important it is for dogs to feel comfortable and secure in their own environment, which is why I offer in-home pet sitting services. During visits, I ensure your dog receives the love and attention they need, following their regular feeding and exercise routines to maintain stability and reduce stress during your absence. I also have experience administering medication with my own dogs at home and would be happy to help in doing so with your dog. Please let me know in advance if their are any special instructions for this service. My goal is to give all of my clients a peace of mind knowing your furry friend is truly in good hands.

About: I'm very genuine with pets, extra caring and careful especially with my seniors. I'm patient and I love teaching my pets tricks. Love making them feel safe and cared for. Hello I work full time and I'm also a full time college student. I'm available on the weekdays after 4 most of the time and on The Weeknd's whenever sometimes I work on saturdays and I get off at 12 pm. I'm very caring with my pets. I have a Frenchie so I know what it's like to be extra careful dealing with a dog that could easily get paralyzed from the legs. I have inclined stairs on my couches. and I also have a fenced yard with extra fencing around it in case of holes. I have plenty of toys to keep your fur animals safe

About: Originally from West Texas, I was raised caring for dogs, cats, cattle, chickens, pigs, goats, fish, even a llama! At the age of 18, I started working for my aunt's pet sitting business and gained a lot of experience caring for animals, administering medications, and maintaining others’ homes. I have experience with many different breeds, ages, and temperaments. I can also take care of your plants and garden while away! I work from home and have a small business, so I’m flexible! I also have a baby, so he will come with, usually in the carrier. I’m able to provide care for pets in their home. I have numerous references that I’m happy to provide. I feel that one can sense the trustworthiness and integrity in others, which I’m confident you’ll find in me.

About: I was raised on a farm and have been working as a veterinary Technician for 10+ years. I have also shown dogs in obedience since I was 8 yrs old and was very successful in the show ring. I work at an animal hospital Monday through Friday. I would be taking care of your loved one before I go to work, during my lunch break and when I get off work, then before I go to bed. Since I work at a animal hospital I only get an hour lunch break and have room for only visit during my lunch break. Because of this I charge $15 for a drop in visit, $26 for morning and evening care, $36 for morning, lunch and evening care. Because I have my own animals to tend to as well, I charge $50 a night to stay at your house. I have shown and trained dogs in obedience and I’m not scared of a barking dog that is nervous because the owner is not home. I know how to safely approach a dog and gain it’s trust. I also know what to do if your dog goes off it’s food or gets to stressed because the owner is away. I offer quality service with experience in many different situations from being a vet tech at an animal hospital and working at an emergency clinic.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Abilene on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 97 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Abilene. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Abilene stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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 Abilene 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!

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Abilene with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

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.
