“Kym was wonderful! So thorough in getting to know our pup and with all the updates she’d provide us with every visit. She even offered to do additional tasks like put our trash cans out and water our indoor plants. The power went out due to a bad storm while we were away so she even navigated that with our pup and flipped our breakers, etc! We had never had anyone outside family/friends watch our high-maintenance weenie dog, so we were apprehensive to engage a service like Rover, but we were very satisfied with our experience and have already recommended Kym to our family members with dogs!”
“Nicole did an amazing job taking care of our 3 cats while we were away. She was super thorough with her care and reports, and so attentive to my extra-needy guy. My shy guy even warmed up to her. I would not hesitate to book Nicole again.”
“This rebook with Sebnem was amazing she is so great with my cat. She truely cares about pets and treats them as one of her own. She is great at communicating before, during, and after the visit.”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals all my life and have 2 years of experience in the veterinary industry. I also am a Certified Veterinary Assistant and have over 700 hours of practical experience. Taking care of your animals is my top priority and main focus. I am consistently available all summer long and am dedicated to giving your animals the care and attention they need. I am prepared to learn your animals routine and approach their care in their environment and on their level. Ensuring your pets comfortability and happiness is my top priority.
About: I've walked and taken care of dogs for my neighbors since I was 12, including senior dogs with special medication and care needs. I am comfortable with homes with multiple pets and pets of all sizes. I have a dog myself and am familiar with dog care. I also have experience in taking care of cats. My summer is mostly open, although I will be on vacation in August. For the time that I will be taking bookings, I will be available for your pets at any time as I do not currently have any other obligations, though I do hope to start working part-time in addition. I care for pets by ensuring that any of their needs are met, including emotional needs which I provide by ensuring they feel comfortable and keeping them company. I am great at playing with animals and completely open to specific care instructions for things like feeding, medication, or walking.
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.
“Lindsey was absolutely amazing with our Cobalt. She took such great care of him and kept us in the loop during every visit. She is very kind and caring and we will be booking with her again!”
About: My dogs and I make a great team. We used Rover to find dog-sitters and are now ready to meet new dogs and go on adventures! Both of my dogs love walks, runs, car rides to the park and pretty much any adventure they have been taken on. They do love to meet new dogs and make friends. We regularly work on proper manners and would encourage any new dog that is met to have those same manners. I've worked with large dogs (think St. Bernard) to smaller dogs (think chihuahua). Friends regularly ask me to watch or walk their dogs when they need help and as long as I am available I can never say no. My favorite thing about dogs is that they love their people!
“Amanda was excellent! I would hire her again in a heartbeat. She was excellent with her pups and very good at communicating updates and information to us while we were out of town.”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I've been caring for cats since I was 7, regularly watch over my brother's five dogs, and often care for my friend's cats when she needs an extra hand. I've also gained experience working with herding dogs on a farm. Every animal has its own unique personality, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know them. I'll treat your pets with the same care and affection I give my own, with lots of pictures because I know you miss them 🩵 I'm currently working part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide your pets with the attention and care they deserve. Whether it's playtime, feeding, walks, or simply keeping them company, I'm happy to fit pet care into my daily routine. I'll make sure your pets feel loved, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. During drop-in visits and dog walks, your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I'll follow your pet's normal routine, including feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention and affection. I'm comfortable crating pets when needed and will always ensure they're safely supervised while I'm with them. I'll also keep your home clean by tidying up any pet-related messes and provide updates with photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.
“Was agreeable to doing a drop in for our dog short notice when our other sitter couldn’t. Appreciated her communication with me on how the drop in went. Sent photos of their time together :)”
“Amela is very friendly and my mutt LOVED her. She is punctual and ensures she follows any instructions you may have for your fur babies needs. If you are looking for a kind and friendly pet carer, Amela should be your pick!”
“Marissa is our go to cat sitter! Rover was intimidating with all the “dog people…” I wasn’t sure if we’d find someone happy to watch our cats! But, Marissa clearly cares for them. She takes the time not just to feed them and check on them but pet and play with them which gives me a lot of peace of mind when we’re out of town. 10/10 recommend!”
About: I grew up with dogs and am experienced with their care. I managed all of the care for my own dog after she was diagnosed with bone cancer and underwent a limb amputation and chemotherapy. I am competent, caring, and detail-oriented. I will provide your dog(s) with love and affection and follow all instructions given. I am also great at sending updates! I just completed a PhD and am currently between jobs, so my schedule is flexible for dog walking, drop in visits, and house sitting in your home. In your home or neighborhood, I will follow all instructions given (requesting more if needed) and be sure to leave your home tidy and secure!
About: Hi all, I’m Olivia! I have two main passions in life; caring for children and caring for animals. I’ve had pets all my life and don’t know what I’d do without them. I will bring my passion into your pets life if given the opportunity. I have experience house sitting my mom’s dog and have two cats of my own that I care for. Please consider booking me! I’m a teacher who is currently out on summer break so my availability is wide open! My only commitment is a family vacation early July. Besides that, I am full available to give your pet the care they deserve! I care for pets with passion and trust. I love building a trusting relationship with any pet and making sure they know I love and care about them through my actions.
“Lawrence is wonderful!!! He drops in 4 days a week to takes our dog outside for a potty break and to get some exercise. Lawrence is so great with her. He throws the ball and makes sure she gets to play and work off some energy and I love that he sends lots of great pics too. We couldn't be happier and hope he will help us forever! THANK YOU Lawrence!”
About: I’ve been a devoted dog mom for over 35 years and currently share my home with my own dogs, Lexi and Bailey.

My home is calm and low-stress, with a securely fenced yard for safe outdoor time during boarding and daycare stays. I’m experienced with dogs of all ages, including seniors and dogs with mild medical needs, and I’m comfortable administering medications when needed. Whether your dog is staying with me or I’m stopping by your home for a drop-in visit, I focus on maintaining routines, providing gentle, attentive care, and making sure each pup feels safe, relaxed, and genuinely cared for. Your dog will be treated like part of the family! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. Because I have flexible hours, much of it working from home, and I keep a calm household, I’m able to provide consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, meals on schedule, and plenty of one-on-one attention throughout the day. Dogs staying in my home for daycare or boarding are fully integrated into my routine, with a predictable rhythm that includes outdoor time in my fenced yard, walks, rest periods, and quiet companionship. I keep the environment low-stress and don’t overbook, so each dog receives attentive care and isn’t overwhelmed. For drop-in visits, I schedule my day to allow reliable, unrushed visits at your home, ensuring your pet’s needs are met and routines are followed. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I prioritize consistency, calm, and clear communication so both you and your pet feel at ease. Dogs in my home are cared for in a calm, low-stress environment with a securely fenced yard, close supervision, and consistent routines. Crating is available if requested. I provide photo and video updates and follow your instructions carefully during drop-in visits.
About: I provide attentive, reliable care shaped by real life experience and a genuine love for animals. As a mom, I'm naturally patient, detail oriented, and tuned in to each pet's unique needs whether that's helping reinforce basic training, keeping up with energetic puppies, or giving gentle, consistent care to senior pets. I prioritize safety, routine, and clear communication, so you always feel confident your pet is in a calm, loving, and dependable environment. I’m currently working part time and from home a few days out of the week so I will have plenty of time for your pups! In my home, pets are cared for in a calm, clean, and structured environment where safety comes first. I follow each pet’s routine closely, provide constant supervision, and create a comfortable space where they can relax, play, and feel secure. I’m attentive to behavior, keep doors and outdoor areas secure, and give pets the same level of care, patience, and protection I give my own family.

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!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Murphy stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
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.
To find sitters in Murphy with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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 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.
