“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.”

“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!”


“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!”

“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!”

“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!”


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.
About: I love animals I wanted to be a veterinarian but it wasn’t in the cards for me. I would like to make pet parents lives a bit more easier. I don’t get easily overwhelmed by multiple pets I have some experience with birds, reptiles, mainly cats, and a good amount with dogs I have a lot of time on my hands as a stay at home wife, a bit more time in the mornings rather than the afternoon If you rather me take care of your pets at my home, I have a fenced off back yard, it’s not super big but my own dogs (mixed breed heeler and chihuahua) go back there and just run back and forth every so often.

About: I am a retired Army MWD handler with 20 years experience taking care of both cats and dogs and 7 years experience training dogs. I have basic veterinary knowledge in case of emergencies and also nutritional knowledge for feeding if looking to level up your pet's nutritional needs. I am free most of the time as I have no other obligations besides my own fur babies and periodic appointments. Training is available and I am comfortable with senior care as well. I adore animals wholeheartedly, am down to rough house with any dog if they like that, and am not afraid of getting bit or scratched. I believe in showing animals the absolute love, care, and attention they receive best. I am retired, so I have all the time in the world to play with your pets! Some days may need to work around an appointment or two, but otherwise I am free. The way I take care of each pet is personalized to that pet. Whether that is constant play, massages and stretches, or constant cuddles, I do it all!

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 experience with Rover and boy were we lucky to find Caitlyn who is EXACTLY what you want when you have anxiety about leaving your dog behind. We don't trust very easily when it comes to our dogs, especially Bindi! Caitlyn couldn't have done a better job and we found her to be completely trustworthy and she went way beyond our expectations in taking care of Bindi. I can't think of anything at all that we didn't like about Caitlyn and even thought about a mediocre review so that she would always be available for us the future. ?”

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.
About: I enjoy playing and walking small dogs. I have no experience walking dogs professionally, but I have been a dog mom for over 20 years. If you just need someone to come play ball or fetch with your fur baby I can. If you fur baby has limited mobility, I am used to caring for my own limited mobility Shih-tzu. I have a nice sized back yard incase your best friend would perfer to play more exclusively while you work of you want to do drop off care. I have my own Shih-tzu here at thome with me to assist with keeping your buddy happy. If your fur baby is more quiet, we can watch dog friendly televison shows. I am used to high maintenance fun fur friends I work part-time from home. I have lots of time to take your fur baby for walks. I have a small dog stroller and big dog stroller incase your dog has mobility issues. I have a fenced yard. I am centrally located, so I can come to your residence quickly. I can crate or allow your pet to stay with me.
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.

“This was our third time booking with Kimmie, and once again, she exceeded our expectations! 🐾 She takes such great care of our dogs—it’s clear they feel safe and loved while we’re away. We always come home to happy pups and peace of mind knowing they’ve been in such capable hands. Kimmie is reliable, communicative, and genuinely kind. We trust her and feel so lucky to have found her. Highly recommend! 💯”

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.

The average cost of House Sitting in Killeen is $33 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $26 and $56 per night. 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 October 2026, there are 551 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Killeen. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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 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 , 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.
