About: I’ve been pet sitting for the almost 7 years. My husband-who also works with me- has been taking care and sitting pets for the last 12 years. We have a beautiful, and energetic kelpie mix named Biscuit, and British shorthair named Eggs. Health and safety are a main priority to both of us. We like to make sure that all dogs in our care are well hydrated, and that no dog is in a situation that makes them nervous. We always make sure to provide the best care for each individual, because this isn’t just an animal, it’s a member of your family, and we know that you would want the best care for your family like we would. Currently I work part time. I am able to look after your wonderful pets full time all days of the week if given a 7 days notice of when services are needed. By ensuring that all equipment is properly secured with taking walks or engaging outdoors with environment or other animals, and that any messes are cleaned, whether it be on the animal or the places they are staying in.

“Teja was absolutely wonderful with my dogs. She treated them with love and care as if they were her own. I am so grateful for her help. She is very responsible and reliable. I am so thankful for her. She took care of everything that needed to be taken care of and did extra on top of it. She wasn't late and gave me peace of mind while I was on vacation. I had a lot of anxiety about leaving my dogs but Teja really came through for us. She was super friendly and kind to my dogs. She really took a burden off me and I will always be grateful for her assistance. She has great attention to detail. She gave thorough attention to us through the app and our dogs, making sure everything was safe and secure at home. Teja is a very lovely person who truly has a giant heart for doggies! 10/10 Would recommend”

About: I have had dogs my entire life, as a four years ago I got an orange cat and could not choose between either for the life of me. I cannot wait to meet and take care of your fur babies :) I am currently in nursing school only taking up 2 to 3 days a week. I am now available for boarding at my home so feel free to look into that as well!! I make sure that the bowls are always full, or their food has been given on time along with medication if needed. I also make sure they are getting as much outside time as they can get.

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was about 10, I’m 21 now. My major is Pre-Veterinary because I’ve had a love for animals and dream of being a vet since I was 7. I have a cat of my own, Luna, and she’s my world. I treat her like a baby so I would love to share the same love to your fur babies! I work full-time as a manager at Walmart, and I’m a full time college student (online). I’m pretty fair and understanding with scheduling, as long as you reach out in advance. If my schedule doesn’t fit for you, I do not mind adjusting to accommodate you and your fur babies! I also don’t have an issue with last minute planning, just be mindful of scheduling issues or certain questions I asks in regards of the service you’ve requested! When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, and get plenty of exercise and attention throughout the day. I also monitor their behavior to make sure they are happy, healthy, and not feeling stressed while their owner is away. As well as in a clients home, I respect your space and specific instructions on pet care! Ensuring your pets and home’s safety is never an issue.

About: My name is Alexis and I will be your pet's new best friend! I have cared for many animals in my life. I grew up on a small farm caring for chickens, cows, cats, small birds, and dogs. I've had dogs all my life as my constant companions. I've cared for friends' and family's animals while they were away. Including dogs ranging from chihuahuas to great danes and from puppies to the elderly. I've also been caring for animals professionally for about 6 years now. I've cared for hobby farms (pigs, chickens, guineas, emus, turkeys, geese, ducks, goats), dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, amphibians, and small birds. I'm always willing to take on a new experience. I will provide individual quality care to each pup and will willingly help with any extra pup related requests (Baths, brushing, and medications). I am also always available by phone if you would like to ask any questions about me or how I will help take care of your precious pet. I know that each animal is an important member of the family, and assure that I will take the best of care of your best friend. Rover does not offer rates for animals outside of cats and dogs but if you reach out I'll be happy to offer you a quote for any animal. If you have multiple animals, we can discuss their care and I'll be happy to over a quote. I'm a college student so my schedule is pretty open and flexible. Perfect for all your dog's needs! I always open and honest about my schedule and will never cancel last minute. My goal is to keep your pet happy and maintain their routine. I'll always have my eyes on your dog whether it's at home, on a walk, or at a dog park. I also strive to keep your home how you left it though if you need a few chores done I don't mind helping out.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Murchison

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 271 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Murchison. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Murchison. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 99% 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.

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.
