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!
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’m happy to help with walks, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, lots of cuddles, or just keeping your pet company while you’re away. I’ll always follow your pet’s normal routine and any instructions you leave so they feel as comfortable as possible. I’m also a big fan of sending photo updates because I know I’d want the same if someone was caring for my babies! Your pet will get plenty of attention, love, and care while they’re with me. 🐾❤️ Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine as a dog and cat owner. I’m available for walks and drop-in visits during evenings and on weekends, and I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine whenever possible. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep doors and gates secure, provide fresh food and water, and make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable while you’re away.
“Alexis is a cat lover and really cares about her client’s fur babies, she will spend more than the minimum time with your pet on her visits and she will come do a meet & greet at your house before the first visit to help make sure your pet knows her and get all the info. Thank you Alexis for checking on our shy girl while we were gone!”
“Karley was amazing. I found her on short notice for a trip I had to take out of town, and she was incredibly communicative and reassuring from the very beginning. She asked thoughtful questions to make sure she understood Alvin’s routine and made me feel completely comfortable leaving him in her care. She sent pictures and updates every time she checked on him, made sure he ate, took him outside, and spent time playing with him. It was clear she genuinely cared about him, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and caring.”
About: Hello! I'm Alaunah, a lifelong animal lover with over 15 years of professional pet-sitting and animal welfare experience! I prioritize safety, well-being, flexibility, and availability for you and your pets' needs! I have experience in administering oral, topical, subcutaneous, and intramuscular medications. Additionally, I am versatile and open to other needs upon request. I have a huge passion for all animals and would love to ease your mind while you are away! I am currently a part-time nanny, so I have a pretty flexible schedule! I typically nanny Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays 6am-3:30pm. Otherwise, I am available throughout most weekdays and weekends for walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays! I respect, value, and attend to your pets and home. Safety is number one priority while you are away! I frequently check areas are appropriately accessible/nonaccessible for your pets (doors, latches, litterbox access, etc.) Additionally, I provide updates with pictures and videos of your beloved pets.
“We have used Samantha multiple times now and she is amazing with our girls!! Always communicates well with us and I feel completely at ease with her taking care of our two dogs! Always love to look at her photos she send us! Thanks again Samantha!”
“Kenya was very sweet with our dogs and they took to her right away. She was willing to drive out to our place to help. When we had a miscommunication, she was very responsive and took great care of the dogs. Thank you!”
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.
“Another trip for us, having James to take care of our 3 Boxers. All went really well, James is always checking in and out at each visit, and very responsive if we needed to ask anything. James is calm, not afraid of our Shiloh being an Alpha male pretty intense, and could manage Papi being needy, and Morgan being shy and difficult to approach. We found our sitter for our next trips for sure!”
About: As a longtime dog owner, I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pet. I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and comfortable with dogs of different ages, sizes, and energy levels. I especially enjoy working with active dogs who need more than a quick walk—I’m happy to provide longer walks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’m also an experienced educator, so patience, consistency, clear routines, and staying calm in unexpected situations come naturally to me. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs and will follow your routines and instructions carefully. Most importantly, I’ll care for your pet with the same attention and affection I give my own dog. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. I have professional dog-walking experience and am comfortable managing different personalities, energy levels, and exercise needs. I also have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate walks and drop-in visits throughout the day. As a dog owner myself, I’m accustomed to planning my day around walks, meals, exercise, and playtime, and I especially enjoy providing longer walks and outdoor time for active dogs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routine as closely as possible so their pet feels comfortable and secure. I carefully follow instructions for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and any household rules. With my dog-walking experience, I’m attentive to leash safety, surroundings, weather, and each dog’s individual behavior and comfort level. I also provide updates so owners can feel confident that their pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while they’re away.
“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!”
About: I’m reliable, genuine, thorough & caring. I’ve volunteered with several organizations ranging from visiting with dogs in the shelter to visiting with hospice patients to working with international development organizations. Offering a helping hand is at the core of who I am so your pet friend will be in good care with me! :) I’m currently working part-time in the arts so I have plenty of time to play with your pup! I’m available weekends as well and will be happy to work with your schedule. I will introduce myself to your pup gently and humbly, take them out to relieve themselves and let them stretch their legs and explore enough to refresh their spirits :)
About: I’m an ER veterinary technician that has been a vet tech for over 8 years and I’ve been doing ER for about 5 of those. I love what I do and couldn’t see myself doing anything besides taking care of animals! I even know how to take care of some exotics! I have 2 cats and 2 dogs of my own:) I am currently at home, I just recently had a baby so I am looking to do something like this so that it is more flexible with my needs! I have a lot of experience with all different dogs and cats and can easily crate them if needed! I have a decent sized backyard as well
“Shara went above and beyond for my boy! She made sure he was happy, safe and well kept everyday for almost a month. We had a little health scare and she even took him to an appointment and gave him care while I was away. Very communicative as well. I recommend her to anyone looking for a trusted care giver for their pet.”

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!

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Murphy is $16 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $24 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.

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 .
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. 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 .
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.

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.

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.
