“Emily was great with my fur kids and even ensured my hydroponics garden was watered. She was on time for each scheduled visit and pampered the kids while she was there. I highly recommend Emily and will book her again in the future when needed.”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was old enough to handle responsibilities. I grew up on 10 acres and have provided love and care for dogs, cats, birds(pigeons, chickens, parakeets), and horses. I have volunteered at animal shelters since high school and have pet sat for both families and friends. I love all animals and am excited to meet all the fur babies! I’m a stay at home mom who is looking for a fun and furry way to spend time. I would be around most of the time to ensure your fur baby has what they need. I have my own fur baby as well, an indoor kitty named Jasmine. I have a large fence in yard and a large dog crate for when I do need to step out which will be kept in the air conditioning. They will get daily walks, weather permitting, and as much outdoor time as they wish. If there is anything particular your fur baby enjoys, let me know and I will provide it if it is in my capabilities.
About: I’ve had dogs growing up my entire life, and plan on getting some of my own once I complete nursing school! I am a nursing student at Mary Hardin-Baylor so anytime I can come and check in on your pets, give them some love and attention, would make me happy! I currently only work part time along with my school schedule and study a lot, so need to take breaks. It would be great to take some of the breaks to love on your animals the same way you would while you are out of town. I have a labrador retriever, but also I’ll take care of lots of family, friends, dogs of all different breeds. I used to own a German Shepherd, English bulldog, Belgian melon wall, great Pyrenees, and more!
About: I have always loved animals and enjoy caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I have experience caring for my own dog and helping friends, family, and neighbors with their pets. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, and giving dogs plenty of love and attention. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to each dog’s individual needs. I want every pet to feel safe, happy, and loved while their owner is away! I currently work from home and have availability in the morning and evenings, I have plenty of time on the weekends. I can walk 7-8:30 AM and 6-8:30 PM Monday-Thursday, Friday 7-8:30 AM 4-10 PM and weekends anytime. I have a fenced yard with a friendly neutered golden doodle and a 9 year old who loves to play with pups. As a dog owner myself I know how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pet.
“Darla has been doing drop in visits for my three pups. She is amazing! She is great about being here around the same time each day to keep my dogs on a good schedule. She is very loving towards them and takes great care of them for me!”
About: I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats since I was 11 years old. Friends and family have trusted me with their pets for years while they go out of town. Currently, I have 3 Australian Shepherds, all of which I have raised since they were puppies, and 2 cats, so I know what I am getting into! I am a recent college graduate in between phases of my life, so I have all the time in the world to spend with your pets! I will always put the safety and care of your pets first. If there are any special needs or accommodations that your pets require, I am happy to work with you to ensure that you and your pets will be happy!
About: I’m a mom and a nurse. I have one dog who is about 10 years old. I’ve helped pet sit for my family for several years. I’ve taken care of a golden doodle service dog, hairless cat, and a few small chihuahuas. I am free for boarding every other weekend. Possibly some week nights as well. Looking to help out and do something a little different outside of my day job. I have one dog and one child in my home. My apartment building has a nice dog park and lots of grass for walking. I also enjoy going to dog parks in town.
About: HEY Im Ashli, I am well-versed in the nuances of advanced pet husbandry. Whether your "fur baby" has scales, feathers, or paws, they are in the safest hands possible. I’m a dedicated pet caregiver with a deep background in veterinary assistance. I understand that your pets are family, and I treat them with the same expertise I would in a clinical setting, combined with the love they get at home. Boarding is our main service but doggy daycare is also available! We have a huge backyard and a playful puppy to keep your pet company. I work from home and my husband is separated military so we are always home! Your stay is just a meet and greet away! How does the meet and greet work? Well! You can bring your pups to us! You get a first person experience of where your pet will be staying. Once inside we all meet in the backyard to make sure our pups get along! If your pet is reactive or not other pet friendly we can EASILY make accommodations! Tell us all about their daily routine and we will do our darndest to make them feel at home! I recommend bringing enough food for the trip, Leash or harness, a comfort toy, and food and water bowls. No need to bring your kennel! We have one available if you would like them kenneled. PCSing? Ask me about our Service Member Special! I work full time from home as a business owner. Being able to choose my schedule means I can prioritize your personal needs. I prioritize offering boarding options but the occasional drop in visit is also fine. The home can easily be sectioned off for seperate areas for cats and dogs if necessary. I have a fenced back yard and a open floor plan to ensure plenty of space for your fur babies to move around. This is a kennel free house hold so if you are crate training or prefer your pet sleep in their kennel please provide one. I do own 1 pet bird who will be seperate from any guests. We also own a kitten and a puppy. Im able to section off an area of our home to allow a safe stay for both cat and dog owners.
About: I have had animals my entire life and currently have 5 dogs, 5 cats and a horse. My full time job is on a farm taking care of horses so I have the ability to administer fist aid and medications and am comfortable with all sizes and shapes of animals. Also have experience with goats and pigs. I currently work part time and travel some for work so my schedule is flexible and easy to work around. I have the ability to work evenings and weekends when needed. I will make sure to follow all the instructions given to me to properly care for your pet. I have extreme attention to detail and am able to recognize if there might be a problem with an animal because my job has been to have an awareness about how an animal is acting for the past 10 years. I also have extensive experience with my own pets and different issues they have had through my life.
“Monique looked after our cat for 2 weeks and did a fantastic job. She gave clear and detailed updates and was very enthusiastic and communicated well. She also was happy to help with some additional tasks for us.”
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.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all different ages and backgrounds with many different needs for many years. One of my passions is helping people and loving on their pets is a bonus for me! I have worked with animals that need regular medication administered to just a little love every couple hours! I am currently a college student and I do a lot of pet sitting/housesitting while I am on break or home! During this time my schedule is very flexible! I offer full services depending on what my client needs for their fur baby. I feed, walk, play, and keep up with the daily needs of the home (per clients request). I am very flexible and am willing to help with daily chores like checking the mail as well!
“She was amazing with my fur crazies. I highly recommend Nika! And if anything comes up in the future again, I will definitely be asking to get on her books again. Thank you thank you!”
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Salado is $19 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $21 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 1,813 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Salado. 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 Salado. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
