“Kelly watched my dog Red for the weekend. They became best friends fast. He didn't want to come home with me he loved her and her family so much. She kept me updated with photos and texts throughout the weekend. Amazing. We will be using her again.”
“This was my first time using Jasmine for my three dogs. I couldn't be more pleased, great communication, well taken care of home, and very nice. Highly recommend”
“If you're looking for a sitter who will treat your dogs like family, Elle is the one. We booked her to watch our two pups, Remy and Nala, and from start to finish she went above and beyond in every way. She sent us thoughtful, detailed messages about how the dogs were doing, and reading them made being away so much easier. She told us about Remy going wild in the sprinklers with her kids (he got so excited it was hilarious) and how he played "ice cream man" in the playhouse. Even our more timid one, Nala, worked up the courage at her own pace to fit in throughout the week. Everyday they had a new adventure and I loved reading about it. Elle clearly has a gift with animals. She was communicative, warm, and so attentive to their personalities. We felt totally comfortable knowing they were in her care. We can't recommend Elle enough and will absolutely be booking her again. Thank you for loving our babies like your own!”
“Dominique was great with our pup, this was her first time away at a sitter and she did great. Dominique sent daily photos and videos, she stuck to our pups strict diet needs. We thank you so much for taking such great care of our girl.”
“Heather was absolutely amazing with my two fur babies. She allowed us to drop off our girls before sunrise so my family could make our flight, and was incredibly accommodating when we had a last-minute extension due to a flight cancellation. She kept us updated the entire time with plenty of great photos, which really put our minds at ease while we were on vacation. I couldn’t recommend her enough! We’ll definitely be back!”

“Sarah is so amazing with our dogs! One is super high anxiety and he gets very comfortable at her house! It’s a blessing to not have to worry about him as much when we are gone.”
“Jayden was absolutely incredible with with my dog! I needed someone at the very last minute, and Jayden stepped up with only an hour's notice without hesitation. Throughout the stay, I received regular photo updates, which gave me total peace of mind seeing him so happy and well cared for. If you’re looking for someone reliable, communicative, and great with pets, I cannot recommend Jayden enough. 5 stars”
“this family is super awesome. I felt relaxed and was able to ensure my vacation for five days while Polo spend time with boys, including buddy! I will be using you again. Polo has met friends.”

I encourage early booking to ensure your pet has a safe, comfortable, and loving home away from home. Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a securely fenced yard and four friendly Miniature Schnauzers who are beloved family members. They are well-socialized, loving companions that help visiting dogs feel welcome in a safe, clean, and caring home.
“There isn’t enough words to express how happy I am with Taiesha and how well she took care of Nyla. She updated me daily and sent pictures and videos. Nyla has never been around other dogs and she took her time and patience with Nyla to make her comfortable. Nyla had a few accidents and and I was so sorry for that however, Taiesha assured me it was ok and Nyla loved being with her. I am very grateful. I will use her again. Great job.”
About: I have been around animals and have taken care of them for as long as I can remember. I am comfortable around all dogs and I am willing to adapt and learn how to best care for your fur baby. When I come to take care of, play with, or walk your fur baby I will dedicate my time to loving them. When staying with me I would love to be able to take them to the dog park where they can also interact with other animals while you're away! I like to build trust, communicate and personalize your fur babies stay so you both feel at ease. I am currently home full time and I am available for drop ins when needed! I am also flexible and can accept last minute bookings. I will take your fur baby on a walk to use the restroom since I don’t have a gated yard but if that’s a worry, I also have access to a few gated dog parks for your fur baby to run around and use the restroom.
About: I’ve been taking care of animals my whole life growing up on a farm in NC! I’ve been a dog groomer in the past it was the best experience ever!

We also take walks to the dog park 3 minutes from my house
About: I’ve grown up caring for all sorts of pets, I don’t remember a time in my life when there wasn’t a cat or a dog. I love meeting and caring for all animals and I foster when I can. I would love to care for your fur baby. I currently have an open schedule, my every day is mostly caring and spending time with my pets. I’m very much so a homebody. I only go out about twice a month for a night. I have a fenced in yard for potty time and the whole home is offered for space to explore, get comfortable and play. I also have 2 dogs that love to play and cuddle so you for baby will never be bored or cold. I almost constantly have eyes on my pets and will always be making sure your pet is comfy and cared for. I do have a cat, so other cats that I watch will have their own litter box and their own eating area for optimal comfort.
“Kristi is truly God send!! She took amazing care of my furbabies, I got daily updates and pictures and she definitely looked out for my family when an emergency (out of our control) presented itself! She will our person as long as we are in Texas! Can’t thank her enough!!”
“Sarah was amazing. She sent updates and pictures every day without asking. She was very understanding and so nice and i could tell that my boy was well taken care of. Would definitely recommend and book again.”
“WOW!!! I cannot express how grateful I am to have found Marilena as a dog sitter. My olderly dog normally does not do well at other peoples houses when we leave for vacation, barely eats and normally comes home with a lot of food. This was NOT the case. Marilena and her family made Saddie feel very welcome and apart of the family. Saddie came home with barely any food left which is unheard of. Marilena was on top of sending photos and making us feel like our dog was in great hands. Saddie loved their dog Nova and of course the children. If you are looking for a great dog sitter; look no further!! As much as I would love to keep Marilena and her family to ourselves, I highly recommend trusting and leaving your furry baby with them. They are the best I have found on Rover in the Springs area. Thank you again for all the pictures and putting our minds at ease on our vacation. We look forward to booking with you on our next adventure!”

Kaylei took excellent care of our doxie while we went away for the weekend. He can be anxious when he’s not with me, but she was so sweet to him and he was able to settle right in. Kaylei sent plenty of pictures and updated us on how our baby was doing. We will DEFINITELY be leaving our pup with her again! I would recommend her to take care of your pet too!
Stacy did a great job! He was able to take one of our dogs to the vet for an appt also which was awesome. Very communicative, and sent pictures often! My dogs came home happy and healthy 🩵 we will be using Stacy again if we ever need our dogs to have a safe place to stay!
Hands-down the best pet sitter!!!! Awesome experience, highly recommend, and will most definitely use again. Maya is very attentive and kept me updated with pictures and messages. Leaving my kiddos in her care gave us complete peace of mind. In fact, she is the only person we trust to watch our dogs. Thanks again Maya.
Emmanuel is an outstanding sitter. We booked him for the weekend while we were traveling out of town. His accommodation is A+. He advised of any requirements like dog food, toys, beds, bowls, leashes, etc which we appreciated knowing ahead of time. He asked all the right questions regarding feeding or special care needed if any of the pups required it. He sent updates and pictures during our pups boarding. They loved his backyard so much they didn’t seem to want to come inside at times. He has a very nice place and big yard for them to roam as well as have all the zoomies they want. He took care of them and we are so thankful/appreciative of his services. He is also readily available regarding communication. We had a hiccup on our way back to pick the pups up and he was understanding of the situation. We highly recommend and will definitely use him again in the future. (:
Taylor was fantastic to work with. This was our first time leaving our fur baby, and she met with us beforehand to ensure compatibility. Scout was instantly comfort in her home. We were out of the country but still got pictures of our girl. Lucky for us we were arriving home to the ice storm covering all WNC, Taylor kept us updated on weather and helped us with contingency plans with all the travel uncertainty. Taylor will always be our choice for keeping our baby.

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Killeen can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Killeen home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Killeen.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Killeen. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
You and your Killeen sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in TX ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
