“Heather was amazing with our three feline fur babies. We had a family emergency and had to leave suddenly without knowing a return date and she was so accommodating through our emergency. I will definitely book with her again when we need someone to help with our babies.”
“Danielle was a really big help. I reached out to her last second and she was available for me right away. She was extremely communicative and very flexible with my schedule. It was clear that the dogs were always excited to be around her highly recommend using her for all your dog walking and sitting needs”
About: I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, providing walks, feeding, playtime, medication (if needed), and plenty of love and attention. I treat every pet like they’re my own and prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. I’m working part time, so I have a lot of time on my hands to stop by and care for your pets! Mornings, afternoon, evenings, or nights! I have one cat named hazel at home. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment while keeping you updated, so you can feel confident your pet is in trusted hands.
“Alexis did a great job taking care of Bear, I received photos and feedback from every visit and she cleaned up any debris around his area. I returned to a clean environment, it was kept as if I had been home and not left. Bear really enjoyed her visits, she cared for him as though he was her personal pet. If she is available, I would book her again for house visits for my Bear.”
“Our dogs love when Kelsey comes to visit for drop-ins! Due to work schedules, some days can be longer and they need to be able to have breaks. Kelsey is our go to first choice! 💓🐶”
“She is super sweet and keeps me updated with my puppy. She even tells me how my cats are doing! She is very flexible and helps me last minute with my crazy schedule.”
“Jordan is the BEST doggo sitter! We exchanged information via email, and she made (is still making) it happen for our sweet girl who would otherwise have a very long day in her crate. Jordan is quick to respond, takes her care-giving seriously, and treats our space with respect. I'd say everyone should hire her, but if they did, I would have to elbow our way back into her schedule.”
About: I have a love of all dogs, I have three of my own (bichòn frisèe, beagle lab mix, and a German shepherd) so I have experience caring for dogs of all size. I am passionate about treating animals with respect and care as if they are family and helping in anyway I can. I am an active duty military member so working with dogs offers a win, win situation for the owners, pets and me. The owners get peace of mind that their furry friend(s) is well taken care of, the pets get my unconditional attention, care and love and I get an opportunity to destress ( by doing drop ins where I feed, pet and play with the dog), and exercise. I can’t wait! I work about 5 minutes away from home so I often stop by throughout the day for bathroom breaks and play time. I also have the ability to work from home. I always treat pets and homes with cars and respect. Timeliness is included in said respect so I will ensure to be on time and prompt.
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life! I’ve cared for multiple family and friends dogs and will make sure your dog is treated like family! I administer medications, take them on walks, feed them their meals at the appropriate time and make sure they get enough exercise! I always make sure my schedule can accommodate the pets schedule so they are properly cared for. I work 4 hours during weekdays and 6 hours during weekends. I have a very flexible schedule so I am able to care for your pets needs appropriately. I will go outside with your dog every potty break to ensure they are safe. On walks, I always make sure I have a dog whistle on me to make sure myself and the dogs are safe. I also enjoy giving treats and cuddles to make sure they feel loved!
About: Leave your pets with someone that cares! Our family of four love all animals. I have had several animals in my family growing up. I have a strong understanding for pets and their behavior because of raising them when I was young. I will take them at any age and I am very flexible with the schedule. I have a medium size backyard and two parks to take walks right beside me. I will be your pet’s favorite sitter. I have a flexible job and kids that love to play with pets. If you are looking to have a sitter that loves pets, that would be me! I have a fenced yard and the ability to have pets sleep inside each night. I am home during the day and night time so your pet will remain safe.
About: I worked at a dog boarding center for a year. As well as taking care of family and friends animals before. I feel like I’ve had a way with animals since I was younger, even without trying animals seem to attract to me. I work a full-time job from 3pm- 11:30pm. I haven’t had too many worries with it interfering with dog sitting. Normally, I just feed the dogs a little early let them out to use the restroom and everything and then after work I take them on walks and get their energy out before we head to sleep. In my home, my pets get fed once a day but they’re on a pretty strict diet so we feed them lots of fresh meat and vitamins. They have a backyard to run free in and are constantly getting attention from me. I currently have four dogs and back home with my parents I have one dog and a cat.
About: I have experience in playing fetch, training, playing games, feeding, watering, snuggles & cuddles, and have an eye for safety and correct guidance to keep your baby safe.💕 I’m available in mid mornings to take them to the bathroom/feed/ water. Afternoon/evenings after 2 pm. I’m looking so forward to hearing from you and your Paws 🐾 I would first and foremost greet them in a happy way to start building a loving & trusting relationship with them. Take them outside to use the bathroom and probably sit outside with them (weather permitting). I would read the instructions if any, make sure they have had all meds/food/water. Play fetch or games if needed. Then if your baby likes tv we will watch “Paw Patrol” while brushing their hair and just chill for a bit and get to know each other.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for about 10 years now and have 4 dogs of my own! Love all animals and can also administer any medications your furry friend may need 🤍 Currently a SAHM so I have free time all the time and am very flexible with whatever hours you may or may not need! Available whenever and wherever I have a fenced in yard, 4 friendly dogs and a lot of toys and treats to spoil your loved ones! I treat every animal that comes into my home just like they’re my own 🤍
“Thank you for caring for my three elderly dogs. You were amazing. Thank you for being so patient with them, especially since two are rescues and required Incredible patience and time. You are worth every penny!! Thank you!!”

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

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Abilene on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 108 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
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 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
