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.

I'm a former SW working full time job serving to the community. Currently super excited to make new hairy friends. More than welcome to help I live in a one bedroom apartment, with a close patio and 740sq where your pet can enjoy. Open space with. Als a friendly Husky
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. I was the kid who always brought home stray pets kittens, turtles, you name it and begged to keep them. That early love for animals only grew stronger over time. I spent most of my Easter and summer breaks on my aunt’s farm in Virginia and my friend’s farm in North Miami, helping care for everything from dogs and cats to goats and chickens. What sets me apart as a sitter is that I truly understand how different each pet is. Whether it’s the patience and consistency needed to train a puppy, or the gentleness and extra care senior pets deserve, I bring calm, confidence, and compassion to every situation. I treat every animal like they’re my own, and their comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I run my own business virtually, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I’m able to adjust my day around your pet’s needs, whether that means early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening visits. Having that flexibility allows me to be fully present and reliable, making sure your pet gets the attention and care they deserve. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my approach is always centered around creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, preferences, and personality—everything from feeding schedules and walk times to favorite toys and spots for naps. In a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain their pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to minimize stress. I make sure everything is clean, secure, and that your pet feels calm and cared for while you're away. If I’m caring for pets in my own home, I provide a cozy, pet-friendly space where they can relax and feel at home. I follow any instructions provided and keep communication open with regular updates, photos, and check-ins, so you always know how your pet is doing.
About: For the past 14 years, caring for dogs has been more than just a responsibility — it’s been a true passion of mine. From raising and loving my own dog to caring for others as if they were part of my family, I’ve gained hands-on experience in providing patient, attentive, and compassionate care. I’m comfortable with daily walks to keep them active and happy, bath time to keep them clean and fresh, and administering medications when needed. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and special needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether it’s playtime, cuddle time, feeding schedules, or extra care for senior dogs, I treat every pup like my own — with kindness, responsibility, and lots of belly rubs. I’m a business owner so my time is flexible. With advance notice I can be available as needed and I can also be available on short notice as long as I’m available I have a fenced yard and a crate inside the house if needed. Your dog will be supervise at all time. Your dog is allowed on our sofa and free to roam around the house

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who would be thrilled to care for your pets like they’re part of my own family. I’ve had dogs my entire life and have had cats for the past 7 years. My home is currently filled with 7 animals of my own—2 dogs and 5 cats! They’re definitely my favorite part of home life (other than my husband, of course lol). I regularly care for the pets of my family and friends, including my brother-in-law’s dog, who I watch very frequently, as well as my family’s 2 dogs and cat. I also occasionally care for a close friend’s dog. One of my longer pet-sitting experiences was caring for my cousin’s dog for 3 months while she recovered from a broken leg. We are an extremely pet-friendly household and genuinely love having animals around. When friends come over, we’re always telling them to bring their pets! My schedule is currently completely open, and as an at-home wife, I’m able to be home with your pets for the majority of the day most days. I’m happy to provide plenty of attention, companionship, playtime, walks, and cuddles so your pets feel comfortable and loved while you’re away. I’m comfortable caring for all kinds of animals and would love the opportunity to get to know your pets and their individual personalities and routines. I know how important it is to leave your pets with someone you trust, and I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I would want for my own. Our home is a very pet-friendly and welcoming environment, and our own pets are a huge part of our everyday life. We currently have 2 dogs and 5 cats, so we’re very comfortable with animals and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. Because I’m an at-home wife, I’m home the majority of the day and can provide frequent supervision, attention, and companionship. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions you provide. We have a large, fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely get outside, play, and enjoy some fresh air. We also live right next to a park and creek, which gives us plenty of opportunities for walks and outdoor time for pets who enjoy exploring. Safety and trust are extremely important to me. I know how hard it can be to leave your pets with someone else, so I want you to feel confident that they’re being cared for, loved, and treated like family while they’re with me. I also understand that not every pet is comfortable around other animals. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s personality and needs beforehand and make sure we have a plan that keeps everyone comfortable and safe. For pets who need or are more comfortable with their own separate space, we also run available to set up kennel(s). I’m happy to accommodate individual needs and make sure every pet has a safe and comfortable environment. Safety and trust are extremely important to me. I know how difficult it can be to leave your pets with someone else, so I want you to feel confident that they’re being cared for, supervised, loved, and treated like family while they’re with me.

About: I’m a lifelong pet lover/owner and dog dad to Koda, my senior Lab. He’s mostly blind, diabetic, and still very much in charge of the household.

Belly rubs included. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time for walks, check-ins visits, longer visits if needed, and keeping your pet company.

About: I stand out because I combine professionalism with genuine love for pets.

I stick closely to their usual routines for feeding, walks, and playtime, and I give plenty of attention and affection so they feel right at home.

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.
About: My family has had animals my whole life. Besides being the sibling most responsible for the animals (both dogs and cats), I also would walk and sit for my neighbors dogs as well. Now that I’m an adult, I still have and care for my own animals and would love to help you with yours when you need an extra hand. I work days during the week and have weekends free to help with your animals when you’re out of town. I can also do some evenings if you’re planning a date night or out of town for work. I have two dogs and two cats. Rather than shock your pet at my home, I’d prefer to come to you and care for them as you see fit. I can walk, play, and feed them.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Harker Heights
Jadyn is absolutely wonderful to work with. She is incredibly reliable and made me feel at ease from the very first moment I met her. I immediately felt comfortable that my dog was in good hands, and it was clear that he felt comfortable with her from our first encounter as well. Jadyn is kind, trustworthy, and genuinely caring. I would highly recommend her services to anyone looking for someone dependable and great with pets. She is truly great at what she does!
Carol was THE BEST! She is a wealth of dog resources, and is so kind and fun! She took care of our Lucy dog so well and handled a mishap of our alarm going off with such grace and ease! I appreciate her so much and thankful to have her on our dog watching team.
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!
Miss Ariana has been great with both of my pups. One recently had flare ups for ivdd and had needed more gentle care while my other pup is still extremely active and she was able to accommodate to both their needs. She’s great at following instructions and communicating what is needed for a Successful visit.
Autumn was wonderful with my pup! She accepted my last minute booking and was very understanding of all my neurotic instructions. She sent lots of pictures and updates about what her and my puppy were up to, so I had peace of mind that my baby was taken care of. I will definitely be booking with Autumn again!
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.

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.

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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, 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 Meet & Greet.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.
