“Linda went above and beyond to make sure I felt comfortable leaving her with my two small dogs while I was out of town for the holidays! She came over to meet them initially and then came back by the day before to pick up the keys. She sent me tons of pictures and all the updates to make me feel comfortable. She looked me at the last minute and I'm so grateful. The dogs loved her and made them feel so loved and care for a while I was gone to the holiday back home! I will use her again every time!”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, from small breeds to large dogs. I currently have a Labrador Retriever mix of my own, so I’m very comfortable with energetic dogs, daily walks, and all of the little things that come with caring for a dog. I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your dog. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual personality, routine, and comfort level, and I’ll treat your dog like they’re my own. I’m happy to provide walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention and affection! 🐾 I work from home so I am pretty flexible on when I will be available. I will mostly be available in the mornings and evenings during the week and on weekends, all day. I have a fenced in backyard and plenty of room to run around! I take a gentle approach to new animals until they feel comfortable and I can learn their needs and behaviors.

About: At Fur & Feathers, every pet receives personalized care, whether they have paws or feathers. I provide dependable walks, drop-in visits, daycare, and overnight boarding in a safe, loving environment where your pets feel comfortable, happy, and right at home. My goal is for your dog to feel comfortable here and for you to feel confident leaving your dog with me. I’ve been around dogs for many years and truly enjoy caring for them. I understand that each dog is unique, so I keep things simple, comfortable, and as close as possible to what they’re used to at home. I have experience with senior dogs and special-needs pets, and with administering both oral and injectable medications. When your dog stays with me, they’ll receive plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, supervised yard time, playtime, and moments to relax. I also send photo and message updates so you can see how they’re doing while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule and can often accommodate your dog’s routine. I aim to keep feeding times, potty breaks, walks, playtime, rest, and medication schedules as close as possible to what they're used to at home. For boarding, dogs get regular outdoor time in the fenced yard, attention throughout the day, and a relaxed space to rest. . I maintain a clean, non-smoking home with a fenced backyard where dogs can play outside safely. Before a stay, I like to learn about your dog, including their feeding schedule, sleeping habits, medications, and interactions with other dogs. I introduce dogs slowly and pay close attention to how each dog is feeling. I don’t force dogs to interact if they prefer to have their own space. I’ll also keep you updated with pictures and messages during their stay.

About: As a dedicated animal lover, I stand out with my deep understanding of canine/human interaction, and I offer personalized care tailored to each dog's needs. I am an expert handler of various breeds, administering medication, and creating a stress-free environment for your pet. With a genuine love for dogs and a knack for anticipating their needs, I ensure your pet feels safe, loved, and entertained while you're away. I have two dogs of my own, Rocky, a 5.5 yr old Belgian Malinois, and Lola, a 3 yr old Golden Retriever/Border Collie mix. Your pet will have all of the fun they can handle and will leave with 3 new best friends! I work from home 5 days a week and have incredible flexibility. I am home most of the of the time and when I am not, I am usually not too far away for too long. I can provide breaks and all the attention your pet needs almost anytime needed. I have 2 dogs to help keep your pups happy. Lola is the friendliest girl with lots of energy and an unrelenting desire to make new friends everywhere she goes. Rocky, is a retired police k9 who has the perfect balance of energy and calmness to welcome any new pup into our home. I routinely let them outside to play and use the restroom at a minimum of once every 2 hours. My pets are allowed anywhere in the house. It is two stories with multiple rooms so there are always places for them to have space if they need it. There are plenty of beds, toys, and friends to play with while they are here! I do have two large kennels that I never use, but if your pet prefers to sleep in a kennel in its own space, I am happy to provide that for them. Otherwise, they will be free to relax wherever they would like.

About: A safe, clean home away from home, where every dog is treated like family. With lots of love, personalized attention, and help from my loyal German Shepherd, assistant, Lucy, your pup will feel right at home! But sets me apart from others is I can help crate dogs, potty train, to giving them their meds and walking them with a ginger lead for those elderly ones. I am currently working less than part-time. And for me, there’s no better way to spend that free time than with dogs. I also include them in my daily tasks. Every Dog’s comfort level is respected. I have both large and small crates available for dogs who are crate trained or whose owners prefer scheduled crate time (up to 90 minutes per day). I also use an indoor playpen and separate areas within the home to create healthy boundaries. Allow for quiet rest periods and ensure all dogs remain comfortable and safe. My goal is to provide personalized care, maintain each dog routine as closely as possible, and create a calm, loving environment, where pets feel secure, happy and part of the family while you’re away. It might be cliché, but I treat every dog as if it was my own.

About: Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I currently care for my own dog as well as a flock of backyard chickens, so I understand the importance of keeping pets safe, comfortable, and on their routine. As a full-time paramedic, I’m calm under pressure, dependable, and attentive to detail. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, medication reminders, or simply lots of love and attention, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I know every pet has a unique personality, and I’m happy to adapt to their individual needs. I work full-time as a paramedic, which means my schedule varies throughout the week. On my days off, I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, and house sitting, and when I’m working, I can often provide care before and after my shift depending on timing. I keep my calendar updated so you’ll always know my availability, and I’m happy to discuss scheduling to find something that works for both of us. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions before every visit. I’m comfortable administering medications if needed and will always provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. As a paramedic, I’m trained to stay calm in unexpected situations and pay close attention to details, so you can trust that your pet will receive attentive, compassionate care every step of the way.

About: I've been caring for animals since I was 10 years old, so pets aren't a side hobby for me. They've been part of my everyday life for as long as I can remember. Over the years I've cared for dogs, cats, and even snakes, which has taught me how to read each animal's personality, spot when something's off, and keep them comfortable when their favorite person is away. I'm especially comfortable with puppies and kittens. I know they need extra patience, frequent potty breaks, close supervision, and plenty of play to burn off energy. Your little one will be safe, entertained, and kept on track with any training you've started. What also sets me apart is how I communicate. You'll get regular photo and video updates, so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. I stick to your routine, from feeding times to walks to bedtime quirks, because consistency helps pets feel safe. As a Killeen local, I understand how busy life gets for working families and military families. Whether it's a weekend trip, a long work week, or a TDY, I treat your pet like my own and your home with the same respect. Pet care is already part of my daily rhythm. I build my schedule around feedings, walks, playtime, and updates, so your pet gets consistent attention. In my home, pets get a safe, clean space, their usual food and routine, plenty of play, and supervised time with me. In your home, I follow your routine exactly, keep everything tidy and secure, and send photo updates so you know your pet is happy and comfortable.

Finding someone you trust with your pets can feel stressful, and my goal is to make that process easier by providing safe, reliable, knowledgeable, and compassionate care while you’re away. I’m a Certified Veterinary Assistant (CVA) with over 10 years of hands-on animal care experience, including veterinary technician-level experience and skills. I have been pet sitting since I was a teenager, giving me years of experience caring for pets in their own homes, following detailed instructions, and maintaining their individual routines while their families are away. Throughout my experience, I’ve cared for pets of different ages, personalities, and medical needs—from playful puppies and energetic dogs to senior, anxious, recovering, and special-needs pets requiring additional attention. My veterinary background and technician-level experience include: • Oral and injectable medication administration • Subcutaneous fluid administration • Diabetic and special-needs care • Senior pet care • Post-surgical and recovery care • Monitoring changes in behavior, appetite, mobility, and overall health • Caring for pets with anxiety or specialized routines • Following detailed medical and household care instructions • Fear-free handling techniques and low-stress approaches 🐾 Experienced With Nervous, Senior & Special Needs Pets 🐾 Every pet has their own personality, and I believe the best care starts with understanding and respecting that. I especially enjoy working with pets who may need a little extra time, patience, or specialized attention. Whether your pet is shy, nervous, anxious, elderly, recovering, or has unique medical or behavioral needs, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I focus on building trust, maintaining their normal routine, creating a calm environment, and helping them feel safe and cared for while you’re away. 🐾 What You Can Expect From Me 🐾 • Regular updates and photos • Careful attention to your instructions and routines • Patient, compassionate, and individualized care • Enrichment, companionship, and plenty of attention • Knowledgeable care backed by hands-on veterinary experience • Someone who treats your pets like family 🐾 Additional Services I Offer 🐾 • Nail trims • Baths and basic grooming • Ear cleaning • Litter box care • Medication assistance • Poop scooping • Additional care needs upon request I’m also comfortable caring for a variety of animals, including unique pets, exotics, and large animals.

With my Certified Veterinary Assistant background, technician-level experience, years of pet-sitting experience, and genuine love for animals, I’m able to provide both knowledgeable and loving care. Pet care is currently my primary work, and it is something I truly love. Thank you for considering me to care for your beloved pets! 🐾❤️ Pet care is currently my primary work, and it is something I truly love doing. I’m dedicated to making sure your pets receive the time, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away. I understand that every pet has their own routine, personality, and comfort level. Whether your pet thrives on a structured schedule or prefers a more relaxed routine, I’m happy to adapt to their needs and keep things as familiar and stress-free as possible. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your fur baby is safe, happy, loved, and receiving the same care and attention I would want for my own pets. I currently provide care in your home because I believe pets are often happiest and most comfortable in their own familiar environment. Staying home helps reduce stress and allows them to maintain their normal routines, especially for pets who are shy, anxious, senior, or have special needs. Your pets’ safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully review each booking and care plan to make sure I can safely and appropriately meet their needs. I will always follow your care and safety instructions carefully and will never leave pets unattended outdoors. While caring for your pets, I love keeping them happy and engaged with activities appropriate for their personalities and abilities. This may include neighborhood walks, fetch, favorite toys, enrichment activities, lick mats, puzzle toys, training refreshers, or simply spending quality time together. If I need to step away for errands or other responsibilities, I will make sure your pets’ needs and agreed-upon schedule are taken care of. As a Certified Veterinary Assistant with technician-level experience and a fellow pet parent, I understand how much trust goes into allowing someone to care for your animals and enter your home. I treat your home with respect and your pets with patience, compassion, and love. My goal is for you to feel comfortable knowing they are in knowledgeable and caring hands while you’re away. 🐾

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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

walkers 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 walker.
