About: I’ve been around dogs for basically my whole life, they’ve always been a big part of my world. Because of that, caring for animals feels very natural to me. I’ve helped take care of pets for friends, family, neighbors, and pretty much anyone who needed an extra hand. I’m comfortable with different breeds, sizes, and temperaments, and I truly enjoy spending time with animals. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or just giving them love and attention, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your pets with someone, and I pride myself on being dependable, patient, and genuinely caring. Pet care fits really naturally into my daily routine because I enjoy staying active and keeping a structured schedule. I’m used to organizing my day around responsibilities, so things like walks, feeding times, playtime, and check-ins are easy for me to stay consistent with. I genuinely like being around animals, so caring for them never feels like a task it’s something I actually enjoy. My routine and flexibility allow me to give pets the attention, patience, and care they need throughout the day. When I care for pets, I focus on making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for at all times. I pay close attention to their routines, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or just giving them attention and affection. I understand that every pet has a different personality and needs, so I try to adjust my approach to what makes them feel most at ease. I’m very patient, gentle, and attentive, and I treat every animal like they’re my own. My goal is always to make sure both the pets and their owners feel happy and stress-free.
About: I have been doing Rover for 7+ 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!
“Lindsey was PERFECT with my Luna! I needed a pet sitter ASAP and was referred to Rover by my neighbor a while back. Thought I would finally check into the service and ran across Lindsey, who ironically, lives in my subdivision! She followed my instructions to a T in 3 to 4 visits a day and made My sweet Luna feel comfortable as I had to leave in an emergency. I am so happy to have found Lindsey, our friendly, professional, experienced,and loving pet sitter! Getting to see pictures and updates in the Rover app after every visit is so wonderful! The communication was perfect and so much appreciated. I have used a Pet Suites before when having to leave town and the Rover pet sitter option is so much better, personable, and cost-effective! HIGHLY recommend Lindsey C. for your Pet sitting and care needs!”

“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’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.
“Jessica was a fantastic sitter! We highly recommend her and would definitely book her again. She took great care of my two kitties. She provided videos and photos during each visit along with a great summary of how the cats were doing. One of my cats got sick during her visit and Jessica cleaned up the mess that was left behind on the rug. Thank you Jessica for all that you did! We arrived to home to happy and healthy cats.”

“Rachelle cared for our kitten and two senior cats while we were in Japan. We were able to relax and enjoy our time away because of the confidence we had in her care. She was communicative, flexible when an ice storm changed our travel days, and gave our cats lots of love. We will definitely book with Rachelle again!”

“This was our first time using rover and Kenzie made the experience very nice . We have 3 St. Bernards and we were nervous . Kenzie handled them so well and they loved her! She updated us with pics every visit as well. Thank you Kenzie ! We look forward to using rover more !”

“I have never had someone else take care of my dogs - and I'm talking about 5 large house dogs - but Jamie did an AWESOME job with them. She came by and let them out, played with them, and fed them a couple times daily. She sent me updates and photos at every visit. I was completely delighted with the care they all received and will definitely be using Jamie again. I highly recommend her and her services.”
“So grateful I found Joe! My new cat had never been left alone and I refused to board him. I was nervous and wasn’t sure how’d he handle another big change in schedule so soon. Joe made me far more comfortable, he was always on time, my cat even went to the front door around the time Joe would come so he was obviously comfortable as well. I will absolutely be asking him back when needed.”

About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my whole life, first as a dog owner for 8 years and now cats. I have some experience in fostering. I’m also taking care of several stray cats outside my yard, making sure they’re fed and hydrated daily. Those who know me knows how much love I have for animals- so much so that I often find myself putting their needs before my own. Whether it’s providing comfort, playtime, or presence, I always go above and beyond to make sure they feel safe and loved. I’m available Monday-Friday from 5 PM to 10 PM, as well as all day on Saturdays. Whether your pet needs a drop-in visit, feeding, a potty break, a walk, or simply some extra love and attention while you're away, I'd be happy to help! Drop-in visits: Feeding, refreshing water, potty breaks, and playtime. Dog walking: Walks after work during weekdays and full days on Saturdays. I live in a house with a fenced yard, providing plenty of safe space for my pets to run and play. Since I’m usually the only person home during the day, the environment is quiet and calm. I also set clear boundaries to help them feel secure and understand their space.
“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 :)”

“Miki is fantastic. I can't say enough good things. She played with both dogs, gave plenty of snuggles and made sure my finicky puppy ate. Her check ins are incredibly thorough and thoughtful. I feel lucky to have found her.”
About: Hi! I'm Tiffany. I honestly love this gig… I get to watch sweet pups that bring extra fun, laughs, and heart-full moments! Pup therapy :) Brewster is my 7-year-old chihuahua mix and my 3-year-old Yorkie mix named Reese. They are both about 12lbs. Little Brew loves having another buddy or 2 to play with or new people to love on and it’s been an adjustment not having his brother to play and bond with. I live in a single story patio home with a nice side yard for dog running and potty, along with ample walking around the neighborhood. I also have a SMALL dog door that leads into the fenced in backyard but it’s small and only fits dogs under approx 30lbs or less. I do typically work outside if the home Monday-Friday, but I am able to provide dog sitting/boarding at my home and can be flexible at time with working at home if needed. The dogs are able to lounge and play throughout the house. Sleeping arrangements can vary depending on preference and how the dogs get along with each other :) I fully understand the need to find suitable care and right place for your 🐶 while we have to be away from them! I am here to help. I use Rover myself when I travel, so I try to see both sides and provide that in my service. I'm responsible, respectful, professional, good at communicating, and would love to help you out with your pet sitting needs. I go above and beyond to help your sweet 🐶 feel at home and comfortable while you are away. Brewster was a foster fail that I adopted a few years ago and he’s very go-with-the-flow and a grateful dog. He’s full of energy and loves to play and fetch! He and I love to take walks around the neighborhood and the local community dog park for play time. Reese is now potty trained and LOVES to play with his brother and be the life of the party. He does well with other dogs and is a very happy go lucky puppy. If I come to your home, I will make sure your furbaby is loved on, fed, walked and gets some fun interaction/play time each visit. If you are looking to have your pup do overnight stays with me at my home, I always try to arrange a meet & greet for new clients to make sure you and your dog are comfortable with the layout of the house, how they feel around me, and so you can observe how your dog and Brewster interact. I'd love the opportunity to meet you and your pup or furbaby! Thanks for considering me! :) I am a full-time working professional out of the home Mon-Fri so this is a side gig. I can have pups visit for the day or for a stay. I have a small dog door (dogs under 20lb-ish) that opens to a fully enclosed private backyard with what I have coined a “dog run”. The dogs have mostly free rein to the couches and dog beds and other rugs or furniture they find to their liking. Weekdays I am home between 6-7pm and don’t venture out much. My pup (and of course yours) will get all sorts of love and attention and play time in the mornings, evenings and overnight or when I’m working from home. I treat all pups like they are my own in how I give them love and attention. Trust, love, and safety for your pets is a MUST! I want them to feel comfortable while I watch them. I follow all instructions or rules the owners share with me and communicate any issues or questions in a timely fashion.

About: I’ve been pet sitting for family members, since I was in high school. I am very patient and respectful of your pet’s boundaries. I can do all of the basics for pet care, such as feeding, walking and playtime. I am also comfortable with giving pet’s their medication. I’m a college student looking for a summer job, to help pay for my tuition and expenses! This will be a great stress reducer. I am very patient and respectful of an animals boundaries. Sometimes, pets don’t want to be bothered when meeting new people, and that’s fine!

About: I’ve always enjoyed being around animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m attentive, patient, and responsible, and I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs. I’m happy to follow feeding schedules, provide walks and playtime, and give pets plenty of attention. I also have a backyard where dogs can enjoy supervised outdoor time. I’m excited to build experience caring for different pets and providing owners with peace of mind! I have a flexible weekly schedule and am looking to provide reliable pet care alongside my regular work schedule. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, and occasional weekend or overnight sitting. I can plan bookings around my availability to ensure each pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, and care. ❤️ I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for pets. I live in a home with a backyard where dogs can enjoy some outdoor time, play, and bathroom breaks while supervised. I’m happy to follow each owner’s preferred routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and any specific care instructions. I can also provide care in the client’s home, making sure their pets feel comfortable, receive plenty of attention, and stick to their normal routines.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Murphy
Laurie was absolutely wonderful! This was our first time leaving our three cats with a sitter, and she made the experience so much easier. She was kind, dependable, and kept us updated with photos and thoughtful messages after every visit. She genuinely took the time to get to know our cats, and it was heartwarming to see even our shyest one warm up to her! She was also very attentive to our instructions and went above and beyond. We’re so grateful for the care and attention she gave them. We came home to happy cats and would book Laurie again without hesitation. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Murphy is $16 per visit as of November 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 November 2026, there are 7,068 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Murphy. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
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.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
