About: I have such a big heart for animals but unfortunately don’t own any. Now I dog sit for several members of my gym that I love their pet to pieces! I’m at home most of the day I workout everyday and volunteer at my sons school twice a week so I am gone up to 3-4 hours at most but my husband comes come during the middle of the day. I would treat your pet better than if they were at home. I can’t help it! I love to take dogs on walks, put extra little nutrients in there food bowls (if diet will allow) and give them all the hugs and belly rubs!

About: I treat every dog like family not just another booking. Whether it’s long walks, cozy boarding nights, or extra belly rubs, I make sure your pet feels loved, safe, and at home. 🐾 I have experience with dogs of all ages and personalities — from energetic puppies who need structure and playtime, to senior dogs who need patience, gentle care, and medication reminders. I’m big on consistency and communication, keeping owners updated with photos and messages so you always know how your fur baby is doing. Your pup won’t just be cared for ; they’ll be cared about. ❤️ 🚨MUST BE CRATE TRAINED🚨 **MUST BE CRATE TRAINED** My work schedule is very flexible. Although I do work in an office located approximately 10 minutes from my home, I am able to come home throughout the day as needed. This allows me to provide consistent care, frequent check-ins, walks, feedings, and plenty of attention for your pet. Daycare Terms & Conditions Sara’s Safe Haven Pet Care LLC Daycare Hours: 🕗 8:00 AM – 7:00 PM By booking daycare services, pet parents agree to the following terms: 1. Daycare Hours & Drop-Off/Pick-Up • Daycare services are provided between 8:00 AM and 7:00 PM only. • Drop-offs and pick-ups must occur within these hours. • Requests outside of these hours are not considered daycare and may require booking overnight boarding instead. 2. Late Pick-Up Policy • Pets not picked up by 7:00 PM will be considered an overnight boarding stay. • An overnight boarding fee will automatically apply and be charged accordingly. 3. Early Drop-Off Requests • Early drop-offs before 8:00 AM are not available unless explicitly approved in advance. • Approval is not guaranteed and may require an overnight booking the prior evening. 4. Consecutive Day Bookings • Multiple consecutive daycare bookings do not include overnight care. • If overnight care is needed between daycare days, boarding must be booked separately. 5. Arrival & Departure Expectations • Please communicate your estimated arrival and pick-up times in advance. • Delays or changes should be communicated as soon as possible through Rover messaging. 6. Safety & Care • All pets must be up-to-date on vaccinations, flea-free, and in good health. • Daycare is structured to provide supervised play, rest periods, potty breaks, and enrichment throughout the day. 7. Agreement Booking daycare services confirms that you have read, understood, and agreed to these terms. When caring for pets in my home, I make sure they’re comfortable and feel right at home from day one. I keep a calm, safe, and clean environment with plenty of playtime, walks, cuddles, and rest. I follow each pet’s normal routine — from feeding times to bedtime habits — to make the transition smooth and stress-free. When I’m in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely. I stick to the pet’s familiar routine, keep everything tidy, and provide frequent updates with photos or messages so owners always know how things are going. Whether I’m boarding or visiting, I care for every pet like family — with patience, attention, and genuine love. 🐾❤️ Just a quick reminder — for everyone’s safety and protection, all communication and payments must remain on Rover while we’re using the platform. This keeps us both fully covered under Rover’s policies. I also want you to know that my pet-care business is fully insured, so your pup is always in safe, professional hands. 🐾 And while Rover requires us to stay on the app for bookings here, I do offer services outside the app as well, which we can discuss after our meet & greet or once we’re connected. My prices reflect the quality care, attention, and secure environment your pet will receive. 🩵 Thanks so much for your understanding!

About: I’ve had two dogs and two cats and frequently pet sit for many family members and friends! I love animals of all breeds, species, and sizes! My work schedule is pretty flexible so my days can vary depending on your needs. I usually work evenings so mornings and early afternoons I’m almost always free! I adore dogs, but unfortunately I do not have the space to provide one with the space he/she would need/deserve. I love watching others’ pets and always love them as my own!

About: I have had two Yorkies and one West Highland Terrier. I’ve also had experience with Rottweilers, pit bulls, Alaskan huskies, American Bulldogs, mixed breed Chihuahuas. My house is in a well noted and safe neighborhood, with a secured fence and a wonderful backyard. I love spending time with dogs and giving them the love and care they deserve. If you have any specific rules or guidelines for your pooch please let me know, I will do my best to make my home as cozy as their own. I love any dog big or small no matter the breed, color, or disability. I feel I would be great on Rover because dogs are just like children, and should be treated with care and love as if they were my own!! Your dog will be in safe and open arms <3 I work full time from home, but i am always here so your pups are never left unattended , i believe pets are like children, and should still be treated great care and love❤️ I have a fenced yard for potty breaks and outside fun. I do not leave them outside in the back yard, when they potty i stand outs tide with them until they are ready to come inside. My back yard is huge but i prefer the pups to be with me for safety and awareness reasons. I work from home 8-5 pm , so your pups are always getting around the clock care. I also love to walk the trails with the pups to get them and i some exercise and fresh air I have a doggy care kit in my home with necessities needed for all types of pups if needed , i make sure all pups are comfortable in their environment as well as around me so they can trust me in my care . Examples of this are playing outside , bonding with toys and giving them treats *unless directed otherwise * , and even watching alittle tv ! *bluey seems to work because Dogs can actually see the colors that bluey presents , it’s very entertaining to them *

About: I love dog sitting 🩷 This is a relax home with a large backyard. I enjoy helping neighbors and friends by taking good care of their fur babies when needed. I have a very friendly Siberian Husky who is always friendly and full of energy. The pets can be kept together or in separate rooms, depending on their behavior. I keep my pets on a feeding schedule but I’m flexible with their playtime and walk time. Working from home allows me to be there for any needs the person might have. My pets are fully vaccinated and I require animals staying over to be up to date with vaccines as well. I have a fenced yard and security system in and out of the house to keep an eye on my pets at all times.

“Olivia was fantabulous!! I was nervous about using a service to take care of my big old guy. I have always had family and friends available to take care of my fur babies until now. After meeting Olivia, I was able to rid my anxiety. She sent lots of pics. She loved on my fur baby at each of the visits she made while I was out of town. She sent updates and even gave him his meds. I will definitely be asking her to pet sit again.”

“Jasmine was great checking in with our golden doodle and our kitty! After a long afternoon inside, I know our girl appreciated a break to run around the yard and play. Jasmine let me know before she stopped in, sent pictures of our dog running and having fun in the yard, and offered to clean up the muddy paw prints on our floor afterwards :) We appreciate her being so accommodating last minute and for making sure our babies were taken care of! Would 100% have her back to check on them again.”

About: I have personally had pets since the day I was born, mostly dogs and cats, but also a snake and hamster, I started pet sitting when I was 14 and have experience with caring for dogs, cats, reptiles, and horses. I know that your pet is a part of the family with a routine, personality, and individual needs so I am very conscientious about owner advice and instructions when it comes to their fur (or not so furry) baby. I love spending time with animals and where I live I can not unfortunately have dogs (I do have two cats though) so I feel the Oppertunity to walk dogs and do check ins on animals would be a fantastic way to get to spend time around them again. I currently work part-time, so I have plenty of availability throughout the day and week to give your pets the time, care, and attention they deserve. Depending on the energy and type of animal as well as owner instructions I adjust my care schedule to thier needs. I either do drop in visits to a clients home or house sit in their home.

How are there not more stars to give?! 10/10. Extremely reliable. We had an emergency where our sitter wasn't able to come due to work complications(not their fault and they messaged asap, but couldn't make the overnight) . And at literally 9:30pm I messaged her frantic not knowing what to do and she went and stayed with our sweet boy for way more time than we could even hope for. And came back this morning to let him out and just love on him a bit. She truly cares for animals, not grossed out by smells: unfortunately, our dog had an accident in his crate. She cleaned him up, cleaned the crate and was able to replace bedding with others we had nearby. Truly caring for his health, environment and mental well being. Great communicator and absolutely will love your pet like her first born child. Cannot say enough good things about this sitter. Worth every penny!

Maya D. Is by far the best dog caretaker I have ever worked with. She truly loves helping animals and cares for mine so well. She handles medication and temperaments like a boss. When I had two male dogs that needed to be separated at all times and still be taken out and cared for she did not hesitate to help and not once was there contact or concerns. These are the best words that I have and they are still not enough! Thank you so much Maya.

Huge plus that she is a vet tech and as a veterinarian, this brings a great level of comfort knowing that she has the knowledge and skills to provide amazing care! Definitely recommend her! :)

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Harker Heights

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Harker Heights is $19 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $24 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 October 2026, there are 1,220 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Harker Heights. 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.

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 Harker Heights 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 .

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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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 .

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.
