About: I’ve been a dog owner all my life, so giving proper and loving care has always been apart of my daily routine! For the past year, I have had the opportunity to dog sit for family, friends, and clients caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes and personalities! I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, administering basic medications if needed, and making sure each dog feels safe, loved, and comfortable while their family is away. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always strive to provide dependable, attentive care so both pets and owners can have peace of mind. Hi!! My name is Chloe!

I make time for walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention to help each dog feel comfortable and cared for. I believe in sticking to each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel safe while their family is away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I follow each pet’s feeding, potty, exercise, and medication schedule while giving them plenty of love, attention, and playtime. I make sure they feel safe and comfortable in their familiar environment, and I always pay close attention to their individual needs.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Abilene
Heather was a wonderful cat sitter! She was so sweet, caring, and I really appreciated knowing my cats were in good hands. She even went out of her way to replace cleaning wipes I forgot to restock before we left, which I thought was incredibly kind and considerate. It’s clear that she genuinely cares. I would absolutely recommend Heather to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!
Levi watched our pups for us last minute, and we’re so thankful he was able to say yes! He took great care of them and kept us updated while we were away, which gave us peace of mind. This was our second time having Levi watch them, and he once again made everything so easy for us. We really appreciate how dependable he is and would definitely have him watch our pups again!
Kimberlee was amazing!! Her commitment to the schedule and care for my little baby boy made me feel at ease about leaving him for a couple of days. Definitely trustworthy and super responsible!! I hope she is available Everytime I need to leave in the future!! Thank you Kimberlee!!
Kaylee did an amazing job with my kitties and I don’t feel anxious about leaving them anymore so we will be able to go on a lot more trips in the future! She made sure they were fed and happy played with them a whole bunch and sent plenty of photos! I can’t recommend her enough

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Abilene is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $28 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 111 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Abilene. 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 Abilene. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
