“Jaydin was absolutely amazing, and I truly cannot recommend her enough. From the very beginning, she was kind, friendly, and made us feel completely at ease. Most importantly, my dogs loved her, and that says a lot because they are not always the easiest with new people. She was incredibly attentive, kept me updated, and followed all of our instructions and house routines perfectly, which meant so much to me. Knowing my babies were comfortable, safe, and well cared for while I was away gave me real peace of mind. I would trust her again in a heartbeat to stay in my home and care for my dogs. There honestly aren’t enough words to express how grateful I am. Thank you for everything, Jaydin!”
“Heidi was fantastic! She followed all instructions & had great communication. She cared for my fur babies as if they were her own. She was very respectful of our house during the sit. I would absolutely recommend Heidi to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”

“Jamie went above and beyond while staying at my home with my 2 pups and cat! Came home to a spotless house and I can tell my animals were very well taken care of! Excited for her to stay with my pets again!”
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.
“Ariel did well with our two fur babies. She was wonderful with them and she took care of our home. I would definitely recommend her and hope she is available in the future when we travel out of town.”
“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!!!”
“Kayleigh is exceptional. She went above and beyond by addressing a plumbing issue that came up. She took great care of my pets and they love her. I've never seen them take to someone like they did her.”
“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!!!”
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.
About: I have always loved animals since I could remember. Growing up i was surrounded with family dogs. Because of this I understand how important our fur babies are to us. Currently I have 2 cats myself. This allows me to be experienced with taking care of your cat. With my love for animals and my understanding of how important your trust is to care for your animal I will treat your pet as my own. I will be a responsible caregiver for your fur baby! I am currently in college and work as a TA. Because of this, I am free most of the weekend. Weekdays would just depend on the time and day. I myself have 2 cats. Although, I am experienced with caring for dogs through my siblings and friends. I am happy to animal sit for them and take walks regularly.
“Truly a wonderful person to care for my two boys. She accommodated a meet and greet prior to the house sitting. Engaged in asking questions and provided timely communication. She gave updates and followed their care plans. My boys were loved, cared for and exercised. I had no worries when they were in her care.”
“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!”
“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!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, so caring for them comes naturally to me. One thing that sets me apart is my experience caring for newborn puppies. I understand the extra patience, attention, and consistency that young puppies need, from frequent potty breaks and feeding schedules to helping them feel safe and comfortable. I’m am currently working part-time overnight 10pm to 6am, but I have daytime availability and can provide dependable care that fits your pet’s routines. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away\. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll stick to their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I’ll make sure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise and playtime, receive lots of love and attention, and I’ll clean up after them. I’ll also send regular photo updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
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)
The median cost per night for house sitting in Killeen is $45
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Killeen
Jessica is AWESOME! We were so nervous about what to do with our 6 month old puppy while we went on vacation. We were between sending him to the kennel and getting a pet sitter. We decided on the pet sitter route and it couldn’t have gone better! Jessica stayed at our house and took great care of our puppy. She fed him, played with him, and even took time to send us pictures and videos of tricks she taught him! To top it off, she kept our house clean and tidied up. She communicated well and didn’t leave our puppy for long periods of time. Our puppy was so comfortable with her. We highly recommend Jessica and plan on using her again in the future!
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!
I couldn't be happier with Cassandra. At our first meeting i could tell she loved dogs. She was also very nice, had great energy to be around. She took great care of my three dogs and even gave me updates on my cats. I have a very old pup (15 years old) and felt at ease knowing her experience with older dogs. Got plenty of pictures and videos. She and her husband are my go-to for all my pet sitting needs. When I got home there was no mess, everything was perfect. Definitely recommend!
Tylisha watched my dog, Caesar, while I was back home for the holidays, and I couldn’t be happier with her care. She sent tons of pictures and videos, kept me consistently updated, and communicated extremely well throughout the entire stay. My animals absolutely loved her, and I felt completely at ease knowing my fur baby was in excellent hands. She was very professional, reliable, and attentive. I will definitely be using her from here on out.

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 Killeen 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 Killeen 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 Killeen 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 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 .
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 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.
