About: Hello pet parents, I have four pets of my own, however they do not live with me. I’m going to school to become a vet and am close to finishing my bachelors degree in animal science, soon I hope to apply for graduate school. I have two male dogs and two female cats. I’ve worked at a vet clinic before and handled boarders and more! I can handle almost anything and I love all kinds of companions! Just message me for your sitting needs! I’m currently looking for a part time job while in college so aside from my school days on Tuesdays and Thursdays during the semester, I’m free. It truly depends on how the animal feels about me (a stranger) in their home. Ultimately, it’s their home… I'm simply a supervisor that’s there to cater to their needs, whatever that may be.
About: I’ve been around dogs since I was a kid. I’ve been dog sitting for the last five years. I currently have two floof balls of my own who LOVE other animals. I live in the country and have a big fenced back yard, so if your pups stay here, they’ll have lots of walks and playtime. I can’t wait to give love to your furry best buddy! I work full time from home, and use every break I have to take my dogs on a walk or play with them outside. I’m a super active individual so walking dogs just makes outdoor cardio that much more fun. I have a fenced in yard, am really aware of my dog’s moods because I’m here all the time, and have lots of space for the dogs to spread out if they need some alone time.
“Kelly is the best! She always leaves a very detailed report, and I know she truly cares about my pets. I always have peace of mind when she is taking care of my dog and cat!”
About: I have 3 german shepherd that I have taken care of since they were puppies. I love the way dogs can interact with people and the love they are willing to offer. I am able to do CPR on dogs if ever needed. I am compassionate and caring because thats all they need. Each dog may be different but they all share a common feeling which is wanting love and care. I connect with them fast. If there are any special needs as far as the walks or when coming to check on them let me know. It will be my great pleasure to play and walk your dog because it's what I love doing. As my heading describes, they are the only ones that can see your true heart.
About: I have had dogs most of my life. I like cuddle bugs who like to take walks. Large, small I like them all. I don't mind messy and senior dogs are some of my favorites. I work at the prisons in Gatesville. I work 2 to 10 evenings but can still stay the night. My schedule is 6 days on and 3 days off. If you have 3 months advanced notice I can ask for time off to watch your babies I will follow all instructions. Everything your pet needs I will provide. While I work for you, I will make sure your babies have everything they need per your wishes.
“Angel was very sweet and understanding. I had gotten a bonus last minute and was able to fly home for Christmas but no one was willing to watch my kitty for me. She stepped up and made sure she was taken care of and even eased my worries of leaving my kitty alone for the first time. I definitely recommend her!”
“Robin is the best pet sitter/walker we have ever had. She is thoughtful and thorough and all our pets love her. She takes excellent pictures and we feel so much better when she checks in on our pets.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 14. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I worked for a short time at a doggy daycare attending to dogs of every shape and size. I personally have 5 dogs that I love dearly and would motivate me to treat customer dogs the same. I'm currently working part time So I can work with customers on what schedule would best fit their animals needs. I'll make sure I understand the animals routine before beginning services. I will happily accommodate whatever the customer wants with their fur baby in their home. I will follow whatever routine is necessary. Drop in visits will be discussed with clients thoroughly as to provide the best care possible.
About: I love dogs. I have 2 females dogs that are 9 and 3 years old. I am willing to help out doggy parents with dogsitting, dog walking, feeding, and giving medication. I currently work 5pm to 12:30am Mondays through Fridays. I am available mornings during the week. I am off weekends at anytime that works for you. I take my dogs on hikes or walk around the neighborhood. I play fetch and take them to the dog park. My dogs are babies so I would treat one of yours fur babies as one of mine
About: Hey there, I’m Brooke! 🐾 I’m totally convinced dogs are little love-machines sent to make our lives better. My two goofballs, Kiya and Amus, are the stars of my profile pics—and the bosses of my household. I adore all animals, but dogs? Yep, they’ve stolen my heart (and most of my snacks).

About: I grew up around animals all different sizes growing up. We owned a lot of dogs and so did many of my friends and family! I grew up making sure all dogs were well fed, groomed, and loved. Along with any medication if required. I absolutely love pets! I am currently staying at home while I finish the reminder of my pregnancy. I would be openly available on weekdays and weekends u til the month of August. I live in a duplex with a spacious fenced in backyard. I can play with your furbaby at your house, take them potty, walk them, feed them, or give them any medicine if needed.
“Sophia came out beforehand to meet my dogs on her own time. She asked very good questions and was very thorough. She did a great job walking them throughout the week and they seemed much happier at the end of the day. I appreciate that she was willing to drive to four corners. Thank you again!”

“If you're debating between using Lilianais and someone else, go with her! She’s incredibly punctual, reliable, and always super accommodating. My schedule has been unpredictable lately, but she’s consistently gone above and beyond to help with last-minute changes and additions to the schedule. My dog absolutely adores her, and it’s clear how much she cares for the pets she looks after. Lilianais is an absolute gem—I can’t recommend her enough”
“Kiana is absolutely the best! She is so welcoming and genuine. She is a natural with dogs and made me immediately feel like our pups were in great hands. We had a schedule change last minute and she was very accommodating. Would definitely recommend!!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Gatesville on Rover is $16.05 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 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 July 2026, there are 564 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Gatesville. 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 Gatesville 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 with handling special pet needs in Gatesville. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 92% 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 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.
