About: Gentle giant whose goal is to walk a great dane!! Despite my height (6'11) I've only ever had great experiences with pets and being understanding. I've spent the last year raising a black Labrador named gauge from 2 weeks old and he's my best friend. I've dog sat for most family members on multiple occasions as my "side hustle". I've also got 2 kittens at home who are spoiled rotten. It would be an honor to take care of your little or not so little blessings!! Schedule is pretty open as I've relocated from east Texas into the area just recently. I'm almost always free to walk or drop in on any short notice :) Attention to detail!! Any specific rules or regimens will be followed just how you tell/show me. Keeping them comfortable and full of joy whether that be at home and/or having some time outside is my goal! Thank you for your consideration :)

About: Proud cat mom of two for over 12 years! 🐱 I have experience caring for senior cats and a special-needs kitty, so I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals. I’ll make sure your furry friend feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away, with plenty of photo updates along the way! I work full-time, but I have plenty of availability after work and on weekends for drop-in visits! I’m happy to stop by to feed your pets, clean litter boxes, play with them, and make sure they’re happy and comfortable while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities! During drop-in visits, I’ll follow your instructions carefully and make sure your furry friend has fresh food, water, and a clean environment. I’ll always double-check doors and locks before so leaving, respect your home, and send photos and updates after each visit. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, so I’ll give them attention or space depending on their needs.

About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my whole life, first as a dog owner for 8 years and now cats. I have some experience in fostering. I’m also taking care of several stray cats outside my yard, making sure they’re fed and hydrated daily. Those who know me knows how much love I have for animals- so much so that I often find myself putting their needs before my own. Whether it’s providing comfort, playtime, or presence, I always go above and beyond to make sure they feel safe and loved. I’m available Monday-Friday from 5 PM to 10 PM, as well as all day on Saturdays. Whether your pet needs a drop-in visit, feeding, a potty break, a walk, or simply some extra love and attention while you're away, I'd be happy to help! Drop-in visits: Feeding, refreshing water, potty breaks, and playtime. Dog walking: Walks after work during weekdays and full days on Saturdays. I live in a house with a fenced yard, providing plenty of safe space for my pets to run and play. Since I’m usually the only person home during the day, the environment is quiet and calm. I also set clear boundaries to help them feel secure and understand their space.

About: I’ve had plenty of hands-on experience caring for pets, especially through raising my own dog. I have a German Shepherd/Black Lab mix who I’ve raised on my own since he was 6 weeks old. I’ve been responsible for his training, exercise, feeding, and everyday care throughout his life. I also previously worked as a Veterinary Technician Assistant, where I gained hands-on experience caring for animals and became familiar with handling pets in a professional veterinary setting. These experiences have given me a strong understanding of responsible pet care, animal behavior, and the importance of providing pets with patience, attention, and a safe, comfortable environment. I’ve also regularly helped friends and neighbors care for their pets when they’re away, whether that means taking them on walks, stopping by to feed and check on them, or simply giving them some extra attention and companionship. These experiences have helped me become comfortable with different personalities, routines, and needs, and I truly enjoy making sure pets feel safe, happy, and cared for. My schedule may show limited availability, but I’m always open to discussing dates that aren’t currently shown on my calendar! I work full-time during the week and typically get off around 3:30 PM, so my availability can vary depending on the service and care your pup needs. I’m generally more flexible on weekends, but I’m happy to discuss different dates and see what may work for both of us. Because I work full-time and am also completing my master’s degree through an online program, I want to make sure I’m able to provide your pup with the full care, attention, and companionship they deserve. I’d rather make sure a booking is a good fit for my schedule so that I can give your pet the time and care they need while you’re away. I’m a caring, responsible, and dependable person who absolutely loves spending time with animals. I enjoy giving pets plenty of attention, playtime, walks, cuddles, and companionship while their owners are away. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, so I take their safety, comfort, and routine seriously. I’ll make sure your pup feels happy, comfortable, and well cared for while keeping you updated throughout their stay. Whether your pup is energetic and loves to play, enjoys going on walks, or is happiest curled up getting some extra love, I’d be excited to spend time with them! I provide attentive, loving care based on each pet’s individual routine and needs. For weekend overnight sitting, I’m happy to stay in your home and keep your pets comfortable in their familiar environment while maintaining their normal feeding, walking, and bedtime routines. For walks and drop-in visits, I make sure pets get plenty of exercise, playtime, attention, and care before I leave. I’ll always follow your instructions closely and treat your pets like my own. I also love sending lots of pictures and videos throughout my visit or stay so you can see how your pets are doing and have peace of mind while you’re away!

About: I have always loved animals. They are Gods proof of his love for us. Your beautiful fur baby will be in safe hands with me. I am a stay at home mom. My husband and I have five children. Two of them have graduated High School, two are in Elementary School and the last one just turned three. I am enrolled in online school pursuing my masters degree in Adolescent therapy/counseling. My schedule is very flexible especially during the day. I love and have lived by the Cesar Milan method of exercise, discipline, affection when training our family dogs. I love dogs very much but cannot allow being pushed around by them either. Boundaries are very important.

About: Hi! I'm Tiffany. I honestly love this gig… I get to watch sweet pups that bring extra fun, laughs, and heart-full moments! Pup therapy :) Brewster is my 7-year-old chihuahua mix and my 3-year-old Yorkie mix named Reese. They are both about 12lbs. Little Brew loves having another buddy or 2 to play with or new people to love on and it’s been an adjustment not having his brother to play and bond with. I live in a single story patio home with a nice side yard for dog running and potty, along with ample walking around the neighborhood. I also have a SMALL dog door that leads into the fenced in backyard but it’s small and only fits dogs under approx 30lbs or less. I do typically work outside if the home Monday-Friday, but I am able to provide dog sitting/boarding at my home and can be flexible at time with working at home if needed. The dogs are able to lounge and play throughout the house. Sleeping arrangements can vary depending on preference and how the dogs get along with each other :) I fully understand the need to find suitable care and right place for your 🐶 while we have to be away from them! I am here to help. I use Rover myself when I travel, so I try to see both sides and provide that in my service. I'm responsible, respectful, professional, good at communicating, and would love to help you out with your pet sitting needs. I go above and beyond to help your sweet 🐶 feel at home and comfortable while you are away. Brewster was a foster fail that I adopted a few years ago and he’s very go-with-the-flow and a grateful dog. He’s full of energy and loves to play and fetch! He and I love to take walks around the neighborhood and the local community dog park for play time. Reese is now potty trained and LOVES to play with his brother and be the life of the party. He does well with other dogs and is a very happy go lucky puppy. If I come to your home, I will make sure your furbaby is loved on, fed, walked and gets some fun interaction/play time each visit. If you are looking to have your pup do overnight stays with me at my home, I always try to arrange a meet & greet for new clients to make sure you and your dog are comfortable with the layout of the house, how they feel around me, and so you can observe how your dog and Brewster interact. I'd love the opportunity to meet you and your pup or furbaby! Thanks for considering me! :) I am a full-time working professional out of the home Mon-Fri so this is a side gig. I can have pups visit for the day or for a stay. I have a small dog door (dogs under 20lb-ish) that opens to a fully enclosed private backyard with what I have coined a “dog run”. The dogs have mostly free rein to the couches and dog beds and other rugs or furniture they find to their liking. Weekdays I am home between 6-7pm and don’t venture out much. My pup (and of course yours) will get all sorts of love and attention and play time in the mornings, evenings and overnight or when I’m working from home. I treat all pups like they are my own in how I give them love and attention. Trust, love, and safety for your pets is a MUST! I want them to feel comfortable while I watch them. I follow all instructions or rules the owners share with me and communicate any issues or questions in a timely fashion.

About: I grew up with dogs. Not just in my household, but in my cousins’ and grandparents’. I learned from a young age how to take care of dogs. These past 4 years especially, I have started pet sitting for friends and family alike. I can walk, bathe, and play with dogs. I also know how to administer medication, if needed. I am a big lover of animals. Any animal under my care is automatically going to be treated with the utmost care. I am currently on summer break from my college classes. The only time I would not be able to pet sit or walk would be Wednesdays from 1:30 to 2:30. I have a fenced in backyard. I do have a pool, but I will never leave your pet unattended in the backyard. I have a cat, but she can easily go into the main bedroom comfortably.

About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life. Growing up on a farm, I was constantly surrounded by animals and learned early on how to care for them with patience and compassion. Since I was five, I’ve had dogs and cats, rescued and bottle-fed baby kittens, trained countless puppies, and even had a hedgehog at one point! I currently have two dogs and a puppy of my own, and I also help my dad care for his dog when he’s out of town—walking her, bathing her, and treating her like she’s part of my own pack. Every animal I care for gets the same level of love and attention as if they were my own. Whether it's senior dogs needing a slower pace or high-energy pups who love to play, I tailor my care to each pet’s needs to make sure they feel safe, happy, and at home. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I have the flexibility to work from home or anywhere when needed. I’m off nights and weekends, and I’m also able to step away during the day for morning walks, midday check-ins, or drop-in visits. Whether it's a quick potty break, playtime, or some extra cuddles, I can easily adjust my schedule to fit your pet’s needs. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or visiting yours, their comfort and safety always come first. I create a calm, loving environment and make sure to follow your routines as closely as possible—whether that means sticking to a feeding schedule, daily walks, or bedtime habits. In your home, I treat your space with the utmost respect and make sure your pet feels safe and cared for in their familiar surroundings. I'm attentive to details, keep things clean, and always double-check that doors, gates, and crates are secure. If I’m hosting in my home, your pet will have a peaceful space to relax, play, and feel right at home—away from chaos and stress. Building trust with both pets and their people is important to me, and I’m always happy to provide updates, photos, or answer questions so you feel at ease while you’re away.

About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give every pet. I understand that each pet has its own personality, routine, and needs, so I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m dependable, patient, and committed to following each owner’s instructions carefully. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feeding, or simply keeping a pet company, I treat every animal as if they were my own and strive to provide a stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine. I start classes at UTD on August 24, but I’ll still have time to provide dependable care before and after classes, as well as on many weekends. I also attend church on Thursdays and Sundays, so I plan my schedule around those commitments. I keep my availability updated and only accept bookings I can fully commit to, so every pet receives the time, attention, and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, medications (if needed), and any special care requests. I take time to help pets feel comfortable and make sure they always have fresh water, plenty of attention, and a safe environment. During walks, I keep dogs securely leashed and stay aware of our surroundings. In a client’s home, I treat both the home and pets with respect, keep everything clean and secure, and provide regular updates with photos so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away.

About: If you are looking for someone who is 100% reliable, follows instructions, attentive to details, matches your pet's energy, and prioritizes your pet's health and safety, book me! Ask about my code for $20 off your first Rover booking! I am a life-long animal lover and have owned and cared for a variety of species including dogs, cats, small mammals, many species of reptiles, chickens, cattle, and horses. I have a solid history of providing dependable house-sitting, farm-sitting, and pet care services for multiple individuals in my church and community. I've got the references to prove it. My dog is an elderly basenji mix named Demelza. She has had a remarkable recovery from an IVDD-triggering accident that caused her temporary loss of mobility of her hind end. Through that experience and the veterinary professionals who helped her, I learned how to care for a disabled dog and know what to watch for in dogs at risk. I also have a bearded dragon, a uromastyx, and a kingsnake. With the recent passing of my heart horse Fritz, I have plenty of time and love to give to other people's animals. Schedule me for one-time or recurring visits, overnight sitting, or dog walking! Mondays: Available 6am-2pm and 9pm-10pm Tuesdays: Available 6am-2pm and 6:30pm-10pm Wednesdays: Available 6am-2pm and 8:30pm-10pm Thursdays: Available 6am-2pm and 8:15pm-10pm Fridays: Available 12pm-10pm Saturdays: Available all day Sundays: Available 6am-10am and 2pm-10pm I cannot accommodate your pets in my home as my personal dog is a senior rescue who tends to be anxious and aggressive toward other dogs.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for years and absolutely love it! From playful puppies to sweet seniors, I make sure every pet gets plenty of love, attention, walks, and care. Your pet will be safe, happy, and very spoiled with me! I’m currently a college student, so my daily routine can vary depending on classes and assignments. However, I work a consistent 2–10 PM schedule, which allows me to be available for pet care before work and anytime after my shift. I’m flexible with early morning visits, late-night check-ins, and walks, and I can also adjust my schedule on days off to provide more dedicated care. I care for pets in their own home where they feel safest and most relaxed. I respect your space, follow all instructions carefully, and make sure your pet receives attentive, loving care during each visit.

About: I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats growing up! Friends and family have entrusted me to take care of their pets while out of town or taking their dogs on walks. I’m here to give you the assistance you need to make you and your pet pal happy!!😊 Im currently working full time M-F but work from home Friday so I have more availability! I am free on the weekends! I usually get off around 4-5 M-F but I’m willing to work earlier if I know in advance your pets feeding times :) For starters I would make sure (if possible) I’m able to meet your pet pal before so they can recognize me. I want to make sure we are both comfortable with eachother. I’d like to know the behavior of your pet as well! Some pets are more shy and reserved so it’s good to know that way I don’t startle your pet. I will make sure to clean out their water bowls so they can have a fresh water, groom if needed and make time to walk, play,and talk with with your pet pal! If there are any accidents(puppies are more likely to do this) I will be sure to clean up as if nothing ever happened. No one wants to come back to a trip with that type of surprise waiting on them😅I will also take your dog (or cat if that’s what he/she likes!) on walks!!

About: Dogs require more energy in comparison to other animals. I have taken care of and trained puppies to adults. I am specialized in feeding, grooming, bathing, and giving medications to dogs! I’m currently working a part-time job which leaves lots of room for animal care! I enjoy surrounding myself with loving animals and am always available to commute! As I will only be able to care for pets in clients’ home's, I feel as though respecting the clients requests and boundaries are the most important. Communication and building a relationship is the key to creating a loveable sitter for your pets!

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Murphy

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Murphy is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $28 per visit. 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 3,446 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Murphy. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

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 .

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.

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.
