About: Hello! My name is Lacey and I would love to help you and your family! I have four years of pet care experience but grew up my whole life with animals. I can stay the night if needed and have experience with senior dogs and reactive dogs! I work as a sub, but my schedule is flexible due to the fact I pick when I go into work so i'm available Sunday- Saturday! I have my own car and previously stayed the night at clients houses, that has never been an issue for me! Typically when I arrive I will immediately greet the pups and let the outside to go potty. After, I will play and love on them, get to know their personalities and go on their pace. If it's time to feed them i would proceed with that and letting them go potty after. Depending on if you would like me to stay the night with them is how i move after.
“Kellie was so great with Milo! She came to meet him ahead of time and get a clear understanding of his needs. She was very reliable, communicated effectively, and shared such cute pictures!”
About: I would love to care for your dog or cat! I provide sittings, drop-in visits, and walks. I’m based in Murphy but willing to travel anywhere in the DFW area. My availability is very open and flexible. I will spend many hours with your pet and provide regular updates. I’m more than willing to watch your pets during vacations! I offer dog sittings and willing to stay overnight (if needed). Your dog will not be left alone for more than 3 hours. I provide regular updates and follow instructions.
“Marissa did a great job with our cats! I was nervous about using an app mainly for dog sitting for cat sitting but I found a rare cat person, hallelujah! Really appreciate her flexibility and giving the cats good attention when she was here!”
About: I have been doing Rover for quite a few years now and I love it! I am blessed to have many repeat clients who have become like family, along with their fur babies. I have a home with a nice sized yard in Wylie and I am ready to help you with your pet sitting needs. I have 30+ years of experience having pets so I am confident I can help. I do not have any pets currently. My dog passed away a few years ago and I can’t bring myself to replace him just yet so doing Rover makes perfect sense for me right now. I work from home, so I can give your dog the attention they need. I try to keep dogs from one family at a time so they are comfortable and so am II, so my clients love this. Of course, since I only watch one family pet at a time I do book up quickly so it’s a good idea to contact me as far in advance as possible. Thanks and I look forward to meeting & helping you - I work from my home so it is very easy to give your pet my full attention I can take them on walks if they like that too! I care for pets in my home only at this time as I am not doing visits to a clients homes at this time. Thanks!
About: I have grown up with cats and dogs my entire life and have been an on and off pet sitter since I was a teen! I have experience caring for both baby and senior animals through my own pets I've owned, although most of my pet sitting experience is with adult/young adult cats and dogs that required no special care. These days I am exclusively a cat owner and most frequently find myself cat sitting, but I'm still willing and capable of dog sitting! I'm quite passionate about my love for animals, I've been a vegetarian for over a decade and frequently find myself feeding strays and taking them to no kill shelters. I've even had the pleasure of reuniting a few lost cats with their owners! I love every animal entrusted into my care as if they were my own, I'd be delighted to spend time with your critters! At the time of writing this I currently work a part time job, my shifts are typically 4-5 hours long, accounting for commute time on days that I work I may be away for 6 hours. If your pet requires more attentive care I may not be the right fit for you! So long as I'm left with any specific care instructions (find toys here, feed at these times, walk x amount of times a day, crate at night, etc) I will care for your pet just the same as you would! Whether I'm staying in your home or just dropping by a couple of times a day, I always respect and maintain the space I'm a guest in.
“Jessica was amazing! She took great photos and kept us updated. It is so nice to travel knowing your pet is in such good hands! Would recommend to anyone, and will be booking again.”
About: Growing up my mom loved fostering dogs. I have taken care of puppies, large dogs, and senior dogs. I love learning about each dogs personality and growing with them. Currently looking for work with a degree in computer engineering. In the meantime I’d like to take care of animals. I am available mornings, nights, and overnight. I’d prefer going to clients homes and following their directions to take care of the pet. I enjoy going on walks and playing with toys.
About: I've grown up with dogs my whole life and in college I looked after my roommates' and friends dogs of all sizes and temperaments ranging from pomeranians to german shepherds. I've also housesat pets for extended periods of time. I'm currently freelancing, so I have ample time to look after and entertain your pets! I'm available on weekdays to housesit from 8am to 6pm! On the weekends, I can walk your pets or even take them out for a couple of hours weather permitting. I will ensure that your pet is taken care of just like how you would care for them! I am very proactive regarding communication, both positive and negative, and I make sure to ask clarifying questions if I have any doubts to ensure I understand the pet's needs and requirements! I live in the suburbs so my environment is very quiet, however I do not have a fenced backyard so I would prefer not to host any pets unless they are mostly indoor animals.
About: I have cared for dogs for 25 years, labradors primarily but also small dogs. We currently have a 1 1/2 year old black lab and also a 10 year old Beeshon Poodle. A fully fenced yard and 2 adults that work from home are typically always present. I am a real estate agent so I am home most days. I have 2 dogs so I am dialed into taking care of them on a daily basis. We have a fully fenced back yard, also we are within walking distance to a city park for afternoon walks. I am able to care for your dog without you having to worry at all.
“Calvin and his wife were absolutely fantastic. They took excellent care of my little fur baby for four days. I’ll definitely be using their services again, and I highly recommend them to anyone in need of pet care.”
About: I’ve always grown up taking care of family and friend’s pets as if they were my own. I believe pets are just as important as any other family member, so I always treat them with love, care, and respect. I currently work on an as needed basis within healthcare, so when I am off I would be more than happy to help care for your pets! I would approach your home with the understanding that it is your pet’s safe space - I will do everything to make sure they feel at ease and keep them happy!
“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!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Murphy
We had a wonderful experience with Izzy during a drop in visit with our dog, Finn. She was extremely communicative, sent plenty of pictures, and kept us updated the whole time. Since we were from out of town, she even shared great local recommendations for places to eat and things to do nearby. Her thoughtfulness made everything so much easier, and we’d happily recommend her to anyone looking for dependable, kind pet care.
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.

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.
