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.
“Paige was a fantastic sitter! She gave detailed updates and tons (I mean tons) of photos of our babies while we were gone. She seriously went above and beyond with her updates and made me feel at complete ease the entirety of my trip away. I’ll absolutely be booking with Paige again <3”
“Mike was awesome! I felt so comfortable leaving the pups in his care. Between a food crazed 16yr old Beagle and an extremely shy young rescue, Mike catered to both of their needs. He provided fun visit updates and really showed compassion for both dogs. He treated them as if they were his own Archie. We’ll definitely reach out to him for future dog visits. Thank you Mike for everything!”
“Jasmine is so wonderful and took such great care of my boys! They love her so much and are always so happy to see her. She communicated regularly so I was always at ease about how my boys were doing. Would definitely book again!”
“Our 4, high-maintenance kitties were very well cared for while we were away. Yung was very thorough with her updates at each visit and was delightful to work with. She even cleaned up after our messy little kitties. Definitely recommend and would gladly hire again!”
About: I’ve cared for both dogs and cats for years, from total couch potatoes to high-energy working dogs. I’m comfortable with pretty much every part of pet care—from walks and feeding to cleaning up the less glamorous stuff, basic training, and plenty of cuddles. I’m dependable, pay attention to the little things, and treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m fortunate to have a flexible schedule and can accommodate most visits. Looking to work with you and your pets in the Wylie and surrounding areas! I treat all pets with the same respect and love that I do for my own. I know how important it is to have a trust worthy person entering your home and handling your pets. I treat my own as my children, and will do the same with yours. I have a soft spot for herding and working breeds!

Safety is number one priority while you are away!

About: I was the kid who would bring home stray animals and begged my mom to keep them lol. I spent most of my teen years volunteering with a NO KILL organization. I often assisted with cleaning out kennels, bathing, grooming, and training animals in hopes to find them a forever home. I have a German Shepherd male puppy who is always looking for new people and dogs no matter the size to play with and 2 year old German Shepherd female who is always down for a game of fetch or tuggawar. I am available 5 days a week and also on select weekends and holidays upon request. Mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I have two dogs my self that I like to take to the dog park to socialize with other friendly dogs. Your fur baby will be within view at all times and will remain on a leash during transitions from crate, outside, or car depending on the service. When around unfamiliar dogs Precautions will take place to ensure the safety of your dog. I will only bring my dog/s for walks only If you the client gives me consent to.
“Alexis did an excellent job caring for my two kitties while I was away for a week. She was very responsive and did a great job providing updates and photos along the way. I would definitely choose her again.”
About: I’ve taken care of pets when I used to live in Hawaii since I was 15. And would often give them baths, walk them, and feed them. I’m currently part time which means I’ll have plenty of time to take care of pets as well as take them on walks or to the park. I’ll often take them on a walk in the morning. I’ll feed them breakfast if that’s in their routine. Play with them in my apartment and then take them out again in the afternoon. I’ll then feed them dinner around 6-7 and then take them out once more.
About: Hi! I’m so glad to be able to care for your fur baby like it’s my own. I have years of experience caring for dogs & cats. I personally own two dogs & one cat! I know each animal is special to every family, and I want to be able to help in any way. I have a very flexible schedule and reliable transportation. I have cared for dogs all sizes, and understand each pet has their own personality. I enjoy taking the time out to help out, since I know how crazy ones day can get. I am very efficient and on time. I look forward to giving your fur baby all the love it deserves while you’re away. Thanks so much for the opportunity!
About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life never have I ever had a house without animals, they are just apart of my world. My grandma has a huge heart for animals just like me and she taught me everything to care for a fur baby. I can even say sometimes I my fur babies more than my boyfriend haha!! I’m currently working part time but I only usually work in the mornings and get off at 2pm so I would have a lot time to care for the fur babies. Make sure they are all cleaned up and nothing around the house that can cause them harm. They definitely will get all my love and affection. I will definitely regulate not letting them out my site and when taking them on walks make sure that lease is secure cause I have some big dogs and jeez they be pulling haha but good thang I get a nice strong lease.
“Emily was wonderful! She came at the same time each day and sent multiple photos of my cat during each check-in. She must be an animal whisperer because my very shy cat warmed up to her right away!”
About: I am very interactive with pets under my care. I am able to read most body language and will communicate with pets to understand their needs. I provide consistency and take them on as many walks as they would like. Will most likely take them to the dog park, if dog parents allow them. I have a full time job. I’m usually off on weekdays and can watch, walk, and/or take your furry child out while you’re at work. If given over a month in advance notice I can plan around having 4-day weekend to help watch your furry child while you have a mini vacation. I am constantly interactive with my furry children (I have 3) when I am off. We typically go on many walks and/or dog park (depending on the weather). I will provide the same attention to any animals under my care. I have baby sat many of my friend’s furry child, because I am their first go-to if they need someone to watch over their furry child. They trust I keep my eyes on them to stay out of trouble over pet hotels.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs since I was born - 30 years! There hasn’t been a moment in my household where a dog or cat hasn’t been present, and they have always been the glue to our family. This is why I would love so much to spend time caring for your pet, as I would hope someone would for my own. Animals bring so much joy to our world! I’m currently working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your pups! I’m generally available for walks and boarding on weekends, as well as through the week.

So my wife to be and I had a bit of a crazy request for Kimberly, which was come to our wedding venue and hang out with our fur babies. She accepted and what a perfect decision! She was so good with the pups, and by the end of the night both of the dogs were nestled up on her sleeping. She did an absolutely fantastic job and would recommend her to anyone. 10/10 service!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Murphy is $16 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $25 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 November 2026, there are 6,890 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Murphy. 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.
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 Murphy 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!
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.
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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

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.
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.
