“Min was great to work with and went over and beyond taking care of my cars and dog from a last minute drop in request over the weekend. She is very prompt and even left pet areas cleaner than I had. Highly recommend and will definitely rebook.”
“Nithimas was an amazing pet sitter for our cat Rocky (our baby boy)! She made sure he was fed, ate, clean water and litter. And best of all she played with him, which meant a lot to us because he never felt alone. Thank you so much!! We will definitely request you again when we go on vacation. ❤️ Olga and Brandon”
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.

About: I’ve had animals in my home for decades. My daughters are vet techs and experts in the field. We believe in rescuing animals of all kinds and love to snuggle our furry friends. Our animals now live with our adult children and we know the challenge of ensuring animals are well cared for during the workday or while traveling. I currently work remotely and have flexibility in my schedule. Pets will have frequent potty breaks and a large, fenced yard for supervised exercise and enrichment during the day. I have a large, fenced yard for dogs to run free and in ground pool with beach entry landing for dogs to cool off in the heat. I always supervise pets when in the backyard to ensure pool safety. It’s important to me that animals are protected and well cared for.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Murphy
Zoila took on our cat sitting booking on fairly short notice and it went perfectly! She was a great communicator and made sure to clarify any questions she had about the cat's feeding schedule. We also had a few random mishaps around the apartment that she very kindly handled for us so we weren't stressed out about it while we were out of town . I would highly recommend her!

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Murphy is $16 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $28 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 October 2026, there are 7,204 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.

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.
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 .
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. 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.
