“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!”
“This was our first time using Rover and Heidi took phenomenal care of our dogs. Heidi came for a brief meet and greet before the visit and then while we were gone, she kept us updated. Heidi was flexible when we made a last minute adjustment which we greatly appreciated. If we could give Heidi 10 stars we would! Our first Rover experience was great and the next time we go out of town, we will definitely book with look Heidi.”
“11/10. Jaime was amazing with our dogs. She sent so many photos and updates we were able to relax knowing they were well taken care of. Great at communicating and overall exactly the kind of sitter we were looking for!”
About: I have been taking care of pets if all ages for 10 years, with dogs being a large majority of the years. I am able to care for both pups, and adult dogs about the same, but will need provided instructions about senior pets if they need any medicines. I work part time at a tacobell though the hours tend to only be in the morning. I am also a collage student who has a lot of free time The way I plan to care for your pets is the same way you would I will follow any instructions that are set for the pet. As for the homes I will not enter any places that are marked as a no go zone and will be available for check-ins at anytime.
“Maya was an excellent sitter. My dog is not used to people she doesn't know. Maya was patient and had her cuddling up to her in no time. She was on time and took care of everthing. I would definatly ask for her again.”
“Maricella did an amazing job taking care of my 1-year-old Goldendoodle while I was away. She followed all of my instructions carefully and made the entire experience completely stress-free. Every day, she sent updates with photos and let me know what they had done, which gave me so much peace of mind. What impressed me most was how attentive she was to my puppy's needs. She made sure she was comfortable, well cared for, and received plenty of love, attention, and exercise throughout the day. Since my Goldendoodle is still young and full of energy, she requires lots of activity and engagement. Maricella handled her wonderfully by taking her on walks, playing with her outside, and keeping her active and happy. Also, having Maricella stayed overnight with my puppy, it was incredibly reassuring while I was away. I also appreciated that she was completely comfortable with my home cameras, making everything feel transparent and giving me even greater confidence. As an added bonus, she took care of a few thoughtful things around the house, like washing the blankets we had left out and tidying up before she left. It was such a nice feeling to come home to a clean house and a happy, well-cared-for pup. I truly felt my dog was in the best hands the entire time. Maricella is reliable, responsible, and genuinely caring. I wouldn't hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional pet sitter.”

Responsible, trustworthy, honorable, patient, and dedicated to providing excellent care, attention, safety, and companionship for every pet. As an Army Reservist, I serve one weekend each month and have a flexible schedule throughout the rest of the month. This allows me plenty of time to provide reliable, attentive care for your pets while doing something I truly enjoy. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I follow all owner instructions, ensure pets have fresh water, food, exercise, and attention, and prioritize their safety at all times. As an Army Reservist, reliability and responsibility are important to me, and I strive to provide dependable care and regular updates to pet owners.
About: I have cared for animals most of my life, including dogs, cats, goats, rabbits and chickens. I love them all, but dogs are my favorite and I've been told I'm good with them. I have 2 dogs that I feed twice a day along with making sure they have fresh water. I also take them on walks for their health and enjoyment and I give them baths on a regular basis, along with occasional check-ups with the veterinarian. I have a large fenced yard in a safe neighborhood. I also have 2 crates at my house that guest dogs can use, one small and one large.
“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.”
About: I’ve lived with dogs, cats, and ferrets since I was a teenager. As an adult, I’ve had 4 pups and 2 cats at one time, and cared for my first pup, Ezzy, until she passed at 14 years old. The remaining 3 pups are 7 & 8 years, and old and the cats are 6 and 8 years old. I will love on your pets as if they are my own. My goal is to love your pets so well that when you come home, your feelings are hurt—just a little bit—when they act like they didn’t even notice you were gone! ❤️ Currently, I am available full-time to care for your home and pets. My availability is flexible which allows me to customize a care schedule that fits your and your pets’ needs. I operate within the Rover’s terms, however, we know life happens, so I’m more than willing to offer options to accommodate changing circumstances. As stated when booking with me, I prefer at least one day’s notice for bookings. But if your need is urgent message me, and you and I can discuss your situation briefly to determine if I can help you. I would like to continue your routine with your home and pets while you’re away to minimize stress for everyone. I will care for your home and everything in it just as I would expect a professional to care for mine.

“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!”
“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!!!”
“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!”
“Tierra was amazing!! My dogs warmed up to her immediately, she was always on time (and even a little early), and she was so respectful. We’ll definitely be using her again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Killeen
I was nervous doing a house sit but I have a new puppy so I needed him to stay home. My dogs looked happy and they were safe. Jessica left my home the same way I left it which I appreciate. Also communicated with me if she had to leave or if my puppy had an accident. Would definitely book with her again!
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.

FAQs for House Sitting - Killeen
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Killeen on Rover is $33.3 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 568 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 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Killeen. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
