About: I have taken care of family and friends’s dogs before. I own a 9mo old male doberman and I’ve taken care of him since he was 2 months old. I potty trained him and we run over a mile every weekday when the weather allows. I used to take care of my mom’s senior schnauzer who used to have frequent seizures during his last year of life. I gave him his medicine and we used to walk twice a day. I’m currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to spend with and to take care of your fur babies. I am mostly available during the weekends and weekdays after 5pm. I might also have some weekdays off, based on my week’s schedule. I have a male 1y/o Dobbie who is very friendly and playful. When in home I can take the dogs to the dog park. Typically, I take the dogs to the dog park 3 times a day. We play and cuddle together on the sofa.

About: I love animals. In the past I volunteered at my local animal shelter to take care of pets and I loved it. I know how much I hate worrying about my pets being taken care of when I'm gone so I want to make sure that when a vacation or an emergency comes around you know your furry family is taken care of and in good hands. I've dealt with dogs that are as small as a chihuahua to dogs that weight more than I do. My schedule is very open so I'm flexible to take care of your pets to the fullest extent you need to feel comfortable. I've also taken care of senior pets that neerequire medications daily in the morning and at night.

About: (Note to new clients: Please talk to me BEFORE you CONFIRM a booking so I can help you SAVE, thank you!) I am located in Killeen. I love small dogs more than anything else, and have been told by the people who met me and my dogs that I am the best dog owner based on how well cared for my little furry friends look. I can help you take care of your precious dogs so that you can have your mind at ease and enjoy your holidays 😊 I also provide flat rate spa service at $65 per small dog. This includes bathing, drying, eye and ear wash, nail trimming, haircut/deshedding, and styling. Thank you for your interest! I have many years of experience in taking care of both puppies and adults of small breeds. I will do everything within my power to ensure their safety and happiness. My house will be the cleanest and safest environment for your small dogs. No health hazards, no medium/big dogs, no cats, no loud noises, no human kids, no chaos. I do not even own a TV, and I play the piano to them sometimes. This is a calm, beautiful place with nice little doggy friends, cozy beds, fun toys, a cute outdoor playground, exciting activities, and lots of love and attention. (My strict cancellation policy is to make sure my potential clients are absolutely serious about sending their babies to my place, because my time is extremely valuable and 100% dedicated to the dogs in my care. I also cannot afford to have people changing their minds after taking up the spot of someone else who had really needed it. I hope you understand, thank you so much ❤️) 🌷$50 PER OVERNIGHT BOARDING SESSION INCLUDING 🌷 - Two meals and two treats a day. I offer a large collection of the highest quality foods and treats you can choose from, unless you want to bring your own. Food is served in separate slow feeding bowls. Available brands include The Honest Kitchen, Orijen, Blue Buffalo, Rachael Ray, Purina, Weruva, etc. Treats include yogurt, cookies, fruits, steamed veggies, cottage cheese, peanut butter, warm milk. Homecooked meals (plain diet) are also an option if requested. - 24-hour supervision. Friendly, healthy playmates. - Safe environment with floor cleaned continuously and puppy toilet disinfected after each use. Air purifier running all day and night. - One-on-one cuddling and brushing time. - Clean, fluffy beds and blankets washed every 3 days. - Fresh warm clothes. - Toys (also washed every 3 days) and entertainment. - Continuous updates via pictures and videos. - Giving medication if your dog needs it. - Separate play pen if your dog needs it to feel safe. - Fenced backyard and beautiful outdoor playground with one-on-one supervision during outdoor bathroom breaks and morning sunbathing. The backyard and playground are kept clean and free from waste. Waste is picked up immediately. - Paw and body cleaning after each bathroom break. 🍒 REQUIREMENTS 🍒 - Dogs that are special-needs (either physically, such as having disabilities, or mentally, such as having severe separation anxiety), young puppies, hyperactive, incontinent, in heat, or not potty-trained, will add a small additional charge. - Due to limited availability, payments are due at the time of scheduling and are non-refundable. - Your dog MUST be generally healthy, up to date on shots (with proof of vaccinations, “if it is not documented, it was not done” is my policy), and on heartworm prevention. - Your dog MUST be clean, free from offensive odors as well as parasites. In order to ensure this and maintain a clean safe environment for everyone, please bathe your dog prior to dropping him/her off, or your dog can be carefully bathed and dried by me for an additional $15 in the beginning of boarding. - Your dog MUST be friendly to people (allows handling and caring) and socially acceptable around other small dogs (may not like them but will not try to attack them).

About: I’m very passionate about pets. I have a few of my own! I would say I connect with pets more than humans, they are so much more calmer and fun to play with. They make life so much more easier and God’s blessings. Pet care fits into my daily and weekly routine due to my availability is very open. I love animals so much and it brightens my day to be with them. I would treat anyone’s pet like it was my own! I love getting my steps in and I believe a pet should be healthy and active as well. So tons of walks will be done! I can chill or play with them for hours. As well as feeding of course and if they need a bath!

“Angel was very sweet and understanding. I had gotten a bonus last minute and was able to fly home for Christmas but no one was willing to watch my kitty for me. She stepped up and made sure she was taken care of and even eased my worries of leaving my kitty alone for the first time. I definitely recommend her!”

About: I’ve always had a soft spot for animals and understand that pets are part of the family. As a mom, I’m naturally attentive, responsible, and used to creating a safe, structured, and loving environment. I’ve always had a dog growing up, and was responsible for that dog. I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and needs, from playful and energetic to shy and laid-back. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medications when needed, and giving pets plenty of affection and attention. Although I’m active duty and have kids, I make time to take care of your furmily member. I come home on lunch. Walks after PT. I have a camera in the house, your doggo is free to roam while I’m gone. I have a fenced yard, 1 dog, and 4 kids(12,10,3,6). They all know how to play with dogs and understand the cues of a dog. They also enjoy helping.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for animals and understand that every pet has different needs, personalities, and routines. I have experience working with a variety of animals and am comfortable providing feeding, fresh water, playtime, exercise, basic cleanup, and attentive supervision. I also have experience caring for plants, so I am happy to help keep your home and plants cared for while you are away. My background in zoology has given me additional knowledge about animal behavior, care, and responsible handling. I take pet care seriously and will treat your pets with patience, kindness, and the same attention I would want for my own animals. I have school on Mondays and Wednesdays, but I have flexibility on the other days of the week. I can work pet care into my routine by making time for walks, playtime, feeding, check-ins, and giving pets the attention they need. As a zoology student, I genuinely enjoy working with animals and am happy to make their care a regular part of my week. I care for pets by following their normal routines and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I provide fresh food and water, walks, playtime, attention, and basic cleanup as needed. I also pay close attention to each pet’s individual personality, needs, and instructions from their owner. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and make sure everything is kept clean and secure.

About: I've been caring for animals since I was 10 years old, so pets aren't a side hobby for me. They've been part of my everyday life for as long as I can remember. Over the years I've cared for dogs, cats, and even snakes, which has taught me how to read each animal's personality, spot when something's off, and keep them comfortable when their favorite person is away. I'm especially comfortable with puppies and kittens. I know they need extra patience, frequent potty breaks, close supervision, and plenty of play to burn off energy. Your little one will be safe, entertained, and kept on track with any training you've started. What also sets me apart is how I communicate. You'll get regular photo and video updates, so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. I stick to your routine, from feeding times to walks to bedtime quirks, because consistency helps pets feel safe. As a Killeen local, I understand how busy life gets for working families and military families. Whether it's a weekend trip, a long work week, or a TDY, I treat your pet like my own and your home with the same respect. Pet care is already part of my daily rhythm. I build my schedule around feedings, walks, playtime, and updates, so your pet gets consistent attention. In my home, pets get a safe, clean space, their usual food and routine, plenty of play, and supervised time with me. In your home, I follow your routine exactly, keep everything tidy and secure, and send photo updates so you know your pet is happy and comfortable.

About: I’ve been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember! If your pet needs a 10 step care routine, I’ll be more than happy to do it for them, or if they just need the basics. I’ll do my best to insure that your pet is as happy as they could be while you’re away, and I’ll be sure to send many updates! I currently work part time, so I’ll have plenty of time for your pet, and plenty of space to board through the weekends! I currently have a four month old German shepherd and two young cats. If your pet prefers to be away from other animals, I have a sunroom where I can spend plenty of one on one time with them instead. I have a fully fenced yard and my house has been puppy proofed due to having my own sweet girl. I can work with however you care for your pet, whether that’s in a crate sometimes or just roaming the house, it’s whatever works best for your pet.

About: I have personally had pets since the day I was born, mostly dogs and cats, but also a snake and hamster, I started pet sitting when I was 14 and have experience with caring for dogs, cats, reptiles, and horses. I know that your pet is a part of the family with a routine, personality, and individual needs so I am very conscientious about owner advice and instructions when it comes to their fur (or not so furry) baby. I love spending time with animals and where I live I can not unfortunately have dogs (I do have two cats though) so I feel the Oppertunity to walk dogs and do check ins on animals would be a fantastic way to get to spend time around them again. I currently work part-time, so I have plenty of availability throughout the day and week to give your pets the time, care, and attention they deserve. Depending on the energy and type of animal as well as owner instructions I adjust my care schedule to thier needs. I either do drop in visits to a clients home or house sit in their home.

About: A safe, clean home away from home, where every dog is treated like family. With lots of love, personalized attention, and help from my loyal German Shepherd, assistant, Lucy, your pup will feel right at home! But sets me apart from others is I can help crate dogs, potty train, to giving them their meds and walking them with a ginger lead for those elderly ones. I am currently working less than part-time. And for me, there’s no better way to spend that free time than with dogs. I also include them in my daily tasks. Every Dog’s comfort level is respected. I have both large and small crates available for dogs who are crate trained or whose owners prefer scheduled crate time (up to 90 minutes per day). I also use an indoor playpen and separate areas within the home to create healthy boundaries. Allow for quiet rest periods and ensure all dogs remain comfortable and safe. My goal is to provide personalized care, maintain each dog routine as closely as possible, and create a calm, loving environment, where pets feel secure, happy and part of the family while you’re away. It might be cliché, but I treat every dog as if it was my own.

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of every age and need since I was 10 — from rowdy puppies and playful kittens to senior pets with special requirements. I’m comfortable administering oral and topical medications, tracking dosage schedules, and watching for changes in appetite, mobility, or behavior. With senior pets, I focus on gentle routines, extra rest, and close attention to comfort. With younger pets, I prioritize safe socialization, play, and structure so they get the interaction and exercise they need. I offer boarding and house sitting, so pets stay in a comfortable, familiar routine whether they’re in my care or their own home. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me for years to feed, medicate, and care for their pets like my own. I’m currently working part-time from home, so I have plenty of flexibility to give your pets real attention, not just a quick check-in. Here’s what a typical visit or stay looks like: • Available for boarding on weekends and weekdays after 2pm • Flexible daytime drop-ins for medication schedules and older pets who need consistency • Extra playtime and outdoor walks built into every visit, not rushed • Happy to adjust timing around your pet’s normal routine so nothing feels disrupted I treat every pet like my own, with a strong focus on both physical safety and mental enrichment. Here’s what you can expect: • Fenced yard and two friendly, dog-savvy dogs to keep your pet company • Daily outdoor time for fresh air, sniffing, and exercise — not just a backyard bathroom break • Enrichment activities like puzzle feeders, treat-scattering, and interactive play to keep their mind engaged • Comfortable crating available if that’s part of your pet’s routine • Careful medication administration and monitoring for any dogs or cats with health needs • A calm, decorated, pet-friendly space that feels like home, not a kennel

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
