Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Harker Heights
Natalia makes it possible for us to take trips. My cat has some medical issues that require medication and keeping track of his urine output. Natalia provided detailed notes and sent plenty of pics to keep me up to date on his health and to ease my worries. She knows I’m a bit of a worrier. I could see in the pictures that my cat enjoyed his time with her each day, and they have really bonded. She plays with him and sits with him, giving him lots of pets. And he is not a cat who will let just anyone pet him. If you want someone to care for your pet with loving attention and who is 100% reliable, I can highly recommend Natalia.
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!
Stacey was great. She was punctual and always spent her time being meticulous. She changed litter, food and water and took time to snap pictures and was thoughtful enough to turn on/ off lights and TV to entertain the cats. I was very greatful for the care and attention she showed our purrfect pets.
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.
Ashleigh is wonderful. I considered not leaving a review because if everyone knew what a tremendous sitter Ashleigh is, she wouldn’t have time to sit for me. But that wouldn’t be fair. If you hire Ashleigh as a sitter, you’ll never want anyone else to care for your pet(s).
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.
Super fast responses and made sure to check on each cat regardless of if they came out or not. Was willing to change plans on very short notice which was a life saver. Kept me updated with pictures every visit and will definitely ask to pet sit again if I ever need!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Harker Heights is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 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 November 2026, there are 1,236 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
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 Harker Heights. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
