“Pamela is wonderful and we will certainly call upon her again. She is dependable and our Yorkie enjoyed her visiting while we were away. Much appreciate of your time and willingness. Have a great remainder of the summer.”
About: I have experience with dogs of all ages - including newborn puppies. I am the proud father of 3 dogs, a 1 year old and 2 one year olds. My experience has broadened rapidly, as I have started helping my friend manage their pseudo rescue. At her house I have helped with cats, dogs, newborns, reptiles, rats, and more. Now that my job responsibilities have shifted and I have more time at home I am looking to find new things to occupy my time. I am an avid leash user and will go to great lengths to ensure all critters are safe and well taken care of no matter the age, or species.
“Cynthia was awesome with my two babies! She was punctual and followed my instructions to a t! She provided updates/details and photos for each visit throughout the duration of her services. I would highly recommend Cynthia for your dog sitting needs!”
“Kayla was incredibly friendly and considerate when watching my cat for a few days. She went above and beyond what I even asked for her to do and I couldn't be happier with her service!”
About: I’ve grown up with several dogs throughout my life, and currently have a corgi of my own! i treat her as if she was my family, which she is :) I do work Monday through Friday and I am free on weekends to help walk, watch, and take great care of fur babies as needed! I always want to make sure that my animals are comfortable with me and their environment around them. I can make crate them if needed.
About: I’ve taken care of lots of pets whether it was pet sitting, fostering, or my own. I can handle simple training and make sure they feel safe and happy. I love every pet like my own and will always send updates so you don’t worry. I am active duty & work Monday–Friday but I’m available for pet care in the evenings and on weekends. I love having pets around, so I will make plenty of time for them outside of work. I keep the space safe and secure, follow their routine, and make sure they feel comfortable. No matter whose home I’m in, I treat every pet like my own and keep their safety first.
About: I have sitted both cats and dogs since I was a teenager in high school. Growing up in a small town where everyone knew you, everyone always asked me to watch their animals while they were away. I am a school teacher who wants to cat sit on the side. I have full availability due to summer break to give your animals all of my attention. I am happy to give your cats and dogs plenty of attention with snuggles and scratches, but I do understand if your cat/dog is someone who want to be left on their own!
“Aerial was super talkative and nice. Felt really comfortable from the get-go with her. My animals did really well with her and even my grumbly dog didn’t scare her away. She did great! I’d def book again!”
About: I am an dog lover! I will give them loving affection and tummy rubs. We can do nonstop frisbee, or go on a long walk or sunbath together in the yard I have a secured large backyard with plenty of room for dogs to do what dogs love. I have two dogs, a ten year old Chihuahua poodle mix who loves to relax and a two year old Newfoundland. I have an open schedule for the most part during the week. I'm looking for something during the day since I have three kids who require my evenings with sports and activities. I have been married for ten years now and we just bought our house and have plenty of room for pets. I have experience with small breeds and large breeds and even extra large breeds!
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). They deserve the absolute best, and I’m here to help make sure they get it! Got questions about your fur-kid? Need advice? Want to gush about how cute they are? Message me anytime—I’d love to chat! 🐶💕 Pet care will be a daily activity to keep our pets healthy and happy. Eating, sleeping, potty breaks and love keep your pet very health. This is always needed routinely Pets will be watched at all times. Safety first! I take safety seriously not just for others dos but my own. Safety is no joke!
“Omayra was great even though one of my dogs was nervous and barking. He adjusted after a few visits while I was gone out of town overnight. Will definitely be requesting her services for future travels.”
“Arlie is such an amazing and caring sitter. She made sure my girl was well taken care of and given lots of loves and attention on her drop ins/walks. She sent adorable pictures each visit and made sure to keep me well informed with anything during her visits.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cat since I was a kid. It started with walking my neighbor‘s dog and convincing my family to get a cat. I’ve always found my way back to having a pet myself one way or another. I adopted my current babies from shelters (1 dog, 11, 2 cats, 3&4) and have fostered a dog for 2 years. My schedule will be open in June, and I will schedule my day around watching and checking in on your pets while you are away. I will be sure to follow your preference in how you would like your pets handled. I am one who will carry full conversations with animals like they know how to respond. My own dog loves his walks and has grown a lot since we first got him, going from barking at everything and everyone to now trusting me and the environment. I understand that you can’t force a pet (cat or dog) to love you. I respect their space and will make sure they are alright.
“Katherine is amazing! My old man loves her and she has come through for me even with my families terrible planning skills. She’s gone above and beyond the job description in my opinion I can’t recommend her enough!”
“Ruthie was a blessing to our family! It was my first time using the app, and I didn’t even know what to expect. Ruthie was very responsive & a great communicator. I 10000% with full confidence would recommend her to anyone, she is literally the best! From the first time meeting her she was professional, kind, and caring. I had a senior husky who was a bit anxious and had extra needs which Ruthie was able to help with. With her compassion, and genuine care for what she does you can’t go wrong. I truly appreciated everything she did to check/feed/love on my dog even up until the last moments. Ruthie is the best!!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Harker Heights
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!
I cannot recommend her highly enough! From the moment I met her, I knew River was in great hands. She was professional, dependable, communicative, and genuinely cared about his well-being. Throughout the stay, she kept me updated and treated River like he was her own. What impressed me most was the attention she gave to his routines and behavior. In fact, she even helped improve his eating habits; something I’ve been working on for quite some time! Coming home to a happy, well-cared-for dog and knowing my home was secure gave me complete peace of mind. It’s rare to find someone who combines professionalism with such genuine love and care for animals. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and exceptional with pets, I wholeheartedly recommend her services. River and I are both grateful for the wonderful care she provided.
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.
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.
Alexus has watched our dogs twice now and she has been amazing! One of our dogs had an injury needing a little extra care and oral medication - and she cared for them perfectly! Our minds are put at ease with her updates at each visit and pictures as well. 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! :)

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Harker Heights stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

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.
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Harker Heights with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
