“I had a last minute work trip come up and booked with Arshawna! We had her come to our home to care for our 2 girls. One is a senior dog and one is young dog. Our girls loved her and we constantly got pics and updates! She took the girls on walks and played! We will definitely be booking with her again!!!”
“Kasandra was a God sent cat sitter! She was attentive to my babies needs, communicative, clean/organized, and Kas loved my babies as if it were ME taking care of them! I was gone for TEN days from my babies and she ensured no anxiety was suffered on my end involving their care! My babies adored her! I adore her! I definitely plan on using her services again,and again, and again in the near future! Seriously, what are you waiting for? Ain't no better pet sitter/lover than Kasandra! She gets a million stars from me!”
“Caitlin took great care of our 5 needy furbabies (2 big dogs and 3 cats) and home while house sitting for our 10 day trip! They each have particular needs and she took care to attend to each pet and also kept us updated consistently at different points of the day, with plenty of photos. We had no worries at all during our trip thanks to her!”
“Darren is a thoughtful care giver for my fur babies. After months of not walking them, he got them back into a routine to help myself and my dogs on the road to wellness. Our home was cared for and has been super attentive to our needs. All instructions were followed and felt confident about Darren's care while we were on holiday. I highly recommend his services!”
“Monica went above and beyond when caring for our sweet boy! She kept me updated throughout the day and took tons of pictures. She also did whatever was necessary to make sure our anxious guy was comfortable. I’d recommend her without hesitation. Thanks Monica!”
“Kristina took exceptional care of our three dogs from December 26th through January 3rd, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. From day one, her communication was outstanding — she consistently sent thoughtful updates, along with plenty of photos and videos that truly put us at ease while we were away. It was clear that Kristina genuinely cared for our dogs as if they were her own. She made sure they got plenty of exercise and mental stimulation, taking them on regular walks and frequently to the apartment dog park so they could relax, play, and keep their routines. Seeing how comfortable and happy they were in her care made all the difference. Beyond the excellent pet care, Kristina was incredibly respectful of our home and followed all of our requests closely. We returned to a clean space and, most importantly, three very happy dogs. We highly recommend Kristina to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and compassionate sitter. We would absolutely book her again without hesitation.”
“Awesome sitter! Super responsive and deeply care about my babies. She followed the care instructions to the letter and went above to ensure they are well taken care off! Definitely hire if you want quality care!!!”
“Thank you so much for taking care of our fur babies and our home!! This was our first time using Rover so we were nervous but Nika went above and beyond to make our girls feel comfortable and safe. She was so attentive and loving to our girls! If you’re looking for a sitter to love and care for your fur babies while you’re away we 10000% recommend Nika!!”
About: I have had very well behaved pets my entire life that I've taken the main responsibility for, and I can ensure your pets will be just as cared about like they're my own! I can train, play, deep clean, administer medication in any way you need me to ensure the health of you animals :) I do online school, so I have plenty of time to take care of any kind of pets! Weekend stays or late night sits, you can count on me to be there for you fur babies when you need it the most :) I take extra care of surroundings, because your home is not only yours, but also your pets. They deserve the best environment, even while their favorite people are away!
About: I have alot of experience with dogs, cats, bunnies, ferrets, etc. I have raised dogs since I can remember, I've helped multiple dogs and cats with births and before moving to killeen I was a Veterinary assistant as well so if your pet needs a specific diet to be fed or medications, needs a specific care or training I will most likely be able to do it with complete confidence. Currently im in college for Animal behavior and wildlife conservation so Animal care is something I eam very passionate about and isn't just a job for me. Im currently unemployed but I eam in the reserves so im usually gone just a weekend out of the month so if you have awkward times im very flexible Our apartment has a fenced in dog yard along with a trail as well for extra walks, i also have 2 wonderful dogs and they love company as well as a cat that loves dogs and is a very patient lady if you prefer to drop off your pets. In your home you can give me your instructions and time lines and I will follow them to a tea, that along with regular updates and pictures of your fur baby as often as you want.
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.
“Julia stayed at my house for three days with my senior dog and puppy. My dogs loved her immediately. She is very calm with a quiet nature and I believe my dogs were very comfortable with her. Would definitely hire her again.”
“Tabitha was amazing! I had to leave for a family emergency and she took the best care of my pets and house leaving me stress free! Continuous updates with pictures every morning afternoon and evening with updates throughout the day! Her communication is top tier!”
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.

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 Kempner 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 Kempner 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Kempner 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!

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 .

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.
