About: I have my own dogs that I love very much and I will love your dogs the same. I also have helped take care of my friend’s dogs in the past so I have years of experience taking care of dogs. I also have open availability to take care of dogs. I can also support very active dogs which not a lot of people can do. I am currently available for full time pet care. I am mainly focusing on dog sitting at owner’s home or strictly just dog walking for any hours needed. I will dog sit at owner’s home for now. My current living situation will not allow for more dogs. I will gladly spend a few hours at owner’s home if that is needed.
About: I’ve been a dog mom for 7 years. I have 2 fur babies: Roxy and Daisy. I love dogs with every fiber of my being! My girls and I always do something together: we love walks, hikes in the nature and daily obedience training. I am also a very active individual so I can assure you that your fur baby will be exercised and mentally stimulated on my watch. I believe in the importance of mental enrichment as well as daily physical activity for all dogs no matter their age and breed. It’s important to meet your dog’s needs on a daily basis. My older dog Roxy is also a senior dog so I understand how vital it is to accommodate her needs while still ensuring she gets an adequate amount of activity and rest. I can teach your dog basic commands and fun tricks as well as do mental enrichment games and puzzles. I currently work part-time: I offer in-home personal chef services to clients all over DFW area. I am able to set my own schedule and I have weekly as well as weekend availability to care for dogs. I’m willing to care for your fur baby in your home. I’m very flexible and will do my best to accommodate your unique needs and requests. I’m also married so when I’m away I know that my husband will take care of our dogs.
About: I’ve always loved being around animals. My family has two pets, and I’ve helped care for my friends’ and family’s pets whenever they travel or have busy schedules. I enjoy walking, feeding, playing with, and making sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved. I’ll care for your pet like they’re part of my own family. I'm teacher para for elementary school at 7am to 3:10pm through Monday to Friday. Ill free after that. I'm college student online at ACC at Austin My family has two pets at home. I sometimes help take care of my friends' and family's pets when they're out of town, busy, away for a long time, or in other situations where they need help.
“John was a great friend to our doggo meatball! He followed all my instructions accordingly and insured meatball had proper care, play time, and fun during their visits! I would recommend John to any pet parents looking for a responsible person who communicates quickly to look after their pups! Thanks again John! We will be using you again!”
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! I recently quit my retail job, so I'm pretty open availability wise right now! I'm more than willing to sit for more extended periods of time! :) 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.
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’ve fostered and nursed back to health many dogs from the Dallas Animal Shelter! I also currently have 2 goofy Rottweilers named Honey and Rocco! I’m currently working part time as I’m trying to start a family, so I have plenty of time to take care of your fur babies! I have a fenced in yard with LOTS of toys and shade. I also have 2 friendly pups who love to play and make new friends!
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!
“Jamie is a delight! My dogs loved her! She sent pictures and let me know they were fine - such a relief not to worry about them. I will definitely use her next time I need a sitter. Thank you so much Jamie!!”

About: I’m a huge animal lover and have dogs and a cat of my own, so I know how much our pets really are family.

I’ll always follow your pet’s normal routine and any instructions you leave so they feel as comfortable as possible.

“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 :)”
“Adrienne was great with my 2 dogs! They both took to her immediately and her communication was great about how the visit went. She also sent lots of pictures and I can see that my dogs were very comfortable with her. She also has experience with dogs with a more special needs because my older gal has cancer, and has had a major surgery and she was very attentive to all of that. I will be using her as often as I can!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Murphy
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 .

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.
