About: Hi! My name is Emily, and I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. I’ve had hands on experience with all kinds of pets since I was 10 years old, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. My family and I breed dachshunds, so I’m very comfortable in a busy household with multiple dogs and understand the time, patience, attention, and love that pets need. I also regularly care for my family and friends’ pets while they’re away, including check-ins, walks, feeding, playtime, and keeping them company. I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and needs, and I can also administer medication when necessary. Whether your pet needs an energetic walk, some extra cuddles, a meal and potty break, or simply someone to keep them company while you’re away, I’m happy to help! I know how important it is to feel comfortable and confident leaving your pets in someone else’s care. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. 🐾❤️ Pet care fits well into my schedule because I work a part-time job, which gives me flexibility to care for pets outside of my work hours. I am available for pet care after 4:00 PM and before 9:00 AM. I can provide reliable check-ins, feeding, playtime, walks, and plenty of attention during these hours. I am responsible, dependable, and committed to making sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable trusting someone in your home and with your pets. I treat every home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I follow the pet owner’s instructions closely, keep their home clean and secure, and make sure their pets receive plenty of attention, love, and care. I am dependable, respectful, and always make the safety and comfort of both the pet and their home a priority.
“This was our first time doing a house-sitting/boarding-style booking with Molly. As usual, she exceeded our expectations! George had the time of his life this weekend. He got to hang out with her Great Dane, check out some chickens, and explore a well-maintained backyard. She also practices immense patience with George, communicates honestly about his behaviors, and keeps us updated. I can't thank her enough!”
About: I love all animals. I’ve both taken care of and owned all size, age, and breeds. Senior dogs have a special place in my heart. I am currently working from my home and are afforded the opportunity and flexibility to watch, care for, and/or board your pets at all times! I have a fenced yard and friendly pups that can either be a part of the fun or not. I also have a crate if needed.
About: I grew up in a family that bred dogs, so caring for animals has been a part of my life from the very beginning. I’ve been hands-on with puppies from birth through 10 weeks old, helping with everything from feeding and socializing to monitoring their health and growth. Along with that, I’ve grown up with 5 dogs of my own, so I’m very familiar with the daily care, training, and affection that dogs need at every life stage. I truly love animals and enjoy spending time with them, whether it’s going for a walk, playing outside, or just giving them some extra love and attention. Your pets will be treated like my own, with lots of care, fun, and respect. I’m currently not working so I have all the time I need. I can do all day on weekends and all day Monday through Friday. I love taking my pets on walks and play dates to the parks. I also love giving them attention and showing them love if we were just at home.
About: Over the course of 18 years, I have lovingly and confidently cared for countless Dogs and Cats. As a pet sitter in my high school days and a pet groomer a few years back, I’ve had an excellent track record of bonding with every single pet I’ve met! I have been trained in pet first aid and cpr, as well and any grooming needs ( baths and deshedding/dematting, nails, you name it I’ve done it) now is my opportunity to share my skills with you! I do work full time as a middle school clinic aide, so I’m available most weekends and evenings, but not to worry, I still have all school breaks and summers off to share the love! I do have a cat who is an only child, but he doesn’t mind sharing a space with small puppies, he’s not a huge fan of big dogs unless they’re trained or used to being around cats, other than that I have a fenced in backyard and a solid walking route near my house and not to far from Lions park in Killeen (iykyk)
About: what sets me apart is not only is this a passion for me i went to school for it. I feel like pet care services should be more accessible cause you know shit happens and having a good pet care system really changes things. Im from Chicago and im currently trying to become an exotic veterinarian or be within vet med sciences. I completed one step by attended fox college vet tech in chicago and trained animals on top of that specializing in fear and aggression. I’ve worked with banfield clinics and have done free service pop ups. i’m never gonna judge just want to be part of your pet caring team. I work for a different company aside from rover and I love it doing the same thing. I went to school for it. its a passion for me. people and animals save each other all the time, thats the stuff that matters. a good pet care system helps foster a good environment. I own pets so i understand all sides. I always follow the instructions given first to me first because every dog and every routine is different. tips and tricks can work for certain situations but at the end of the day, pet parent knows their dog best. How I personally take care of my pets is through getting to know their individual personalities and building a system that runs with my lifestyle, but also taking them to dog parks using plate puzzles to stimulate them, and personal time because, at the end of the day they are just as as much as aware as we are.
About: I am the gal who loves each animal as if they were my own! I will send you updates, pictures, and all the things!! I have had dogs in my life since I was a kid and there is almost nothing I love more than loving on a doggo! I am the one who watches all the family/friend pets and I wouldn’t have it any other way! :) I am a kindergarten teacher without my own kiddos! This leaves me with extra time, especially on the weekends! Most weekends I am available as well as after 5pm on the weekdays! I can stay overnight during the week if needed (I’m usually gone at 7am and back at 4pm) and can always do so on the weekends! I care for pets in clients homes and can follow any instructions given. I can give meds if needed and have had much experience doing this!
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats of every kind since I was 10 years old. Family and friends have relied on me to care for them. I walked, play, and bathe them. I am currently working full-time but only 2 days out of the week out of the house for a few hours. I work from home most of the week. I make sure to give him quality time potty breaks and meals schedule of their parents request. Anything else is needed such as medication schedule and any other specifics requested by the parents.
About: I love dogs! I enjoy being with them, as much as they enjoy being with their hooman counterparts. I do not have a pet for myself, yet. Meantime I want to give others a chance to travel without worrying about trying to find where there dog will go. I've dealt with pet care since a kid, we've always had a pet in our home. Any time I make a friend who has a dog or two, I'm always up for doggy sitting, since I know it can be hard to find someone reliable to watch after your pet or home. Last minute notices, if I'm around, I'd be more than welcome to watch your best bud for you. The military isn't a set in stone type of gig, but when you need someone just give me a ring.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Harker Heights
Jadyn did a FANTASTIC job pet sitting in our home for our senior dog and cat. She administered meds as needed, sent daily pics, and was always in communication with us. We could tell from the pics that our pets were very comfortable and happy. Our travel back home was delayed by one day and she was able to graciously stay another day until we got home. Our house was exactly as we left it and we couldn’t be more pleased with the quality of care Jadyn provided! Will definitely book her again!!!
Maya is incredible! She checked on our fur babies so many times and took excellent care of them. I never had to worry about them because I knew she was there and checking on them frequently. She kept me updated on everything and sent so many pictures. Will definitely rebook in the future!
Honestly, Olivia was wonderful! She accepted my last minute request after my original sitter canceled on me. She fit my babies around her busy schedule and took great care of them. Lots of pictures and communication. My trip got delayed about 4hr due to the gov shut down and she came back home to feed the dogs because we weren't going to make it earlier. I can't thank her enough for the peace of mind she provided! Thank you!!

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Harker Heights walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Harker Heights maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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 .
sitters 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 sitter.
