I have experience in Assisted Living & Memory Care. Patient and Compassionate are the two words that describe me best.

I have experience in caring for special needs animals, for example, my baby Winston who is now 4 years old has had eye removal surgery and I have cared for him throughout and after surgery. At the moment; this is my Full-time job, so that gives me flexibility to work around your schedule and your needs.

“Sydney is truly the best at what she does! If my dogs were leaving this review they’d tell you that she is an extended member of our family and you would think they’ve known her all of their lives. 20 out of 10”
About: I’m here to help! I’ve worked with dogs from puppies to seniors. But also worked with dogs with behavioral problems and overall shy dogs. Also have trained a few dogs as well! I’m always available on weekends but on week days I’m free after 4:30pm to walk and check up on any of your pets! And if it’s in the only on week days it would be anytime before 8:30am. I’m huge into following directions and having good communication with my clients. Making sure I know if there’s any triggers or problems your pets have before service.
“Madison was very prompt and even showed up early for drop ins. She handled our babies with care and made sure they were well taking care of. Will definitely use her again in the future if we are away from the home again!”
About: I have a huge heart for animals and would be honored for you to trust me to care for your babies! I have a fur baby of my own who is my WORLD! So I completely understand. I will treat your baby as if they were my own! I work 9-3 everyday so please keep this in mind when booking with me. Mondays I am available all day. :) Contact me and we can discuss more !! I take safety very seriously when caring for pets. I make sure all walks are done with secure collars/harnesses and leashes, and I never leave pets unattended. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior, energy level, and surroundings to prevent accidents. I carefully follow all owner instructions and routines, and I’m prepared to act quickly and responsibly in case of an emergency.
“Katherine was awesome as always! She took care of my 2 cats and our chickens. She was super thorough, sent me lots of pics, and left detailed notes each day. I highly recommend her.”
About: I have been around animal care since I was born. I have six dogs of my own, ranging from a Husky all the way down to a Maltese. I have a real passion for animals and love to take care of them. I often help out with neighbors and friends to pet sit while out of town or for a quick potty break if needed. I’m currently starting my Master’s program in August with university of west Georgia. Outside of my classes, I have free time that does not always allow for a full time job, but just enough for pet sitting. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, and daily routines to help your pet feel secure while you’re away. I treat every home with respect, keep doors and gates securely closed, use leashes on all walks unless you’ve instructed otherwise in a secure area, and provide regular updates with photos so you can have peace of mind.
About: I've enjoyed all kinds of animal company, from domestic dogs and cats to lizards and birds! I've taken care of horses, chickens, snakes, fish, and pretty much any animal or creature you can think of. The only thing I will say no to, is spiders and other arachnids! I'm looking for an alternative to full-time employment due to me struggling with my health and anxiety. I am available every day, from 7 a.m., to 10 p.m. :) I follow every instruction given to me by the pet owner! If no specifics are left, I will take pups for walks or play inside for exercise depending on the age and health of the pup. I will also play with all pups and cats to enrich them and keep them stimulated and happy!
“Mallory did an excellent job taking care of our dogs while we were away! She provided frequent updates and photos, which allowed us to fully enjoy our time away, knowing Asa and Emmy were in great hands. She was reliable, communicative, and truly went above and beyond to make sure our little ones were well taken care of. We will definitely be booking her again in the future!”
About: I am new to the dog sitting/ dog walking industry as far as sitting/walking for anyone outside of friends and family goes. However, I have been sitting for friends and family for years when they needed to go out of town. Furthermore, I have a genuine love for dogs. I adopted a Basset Hound from the Basset Hound rescue about 5 years ago and she has become just like a child to me. I grew up in small town Alabama and I have been taking care of dogs for as long as I can remember. I am a very hard working and intellectual individual. I waited tables for seven years in order to attain a Bachelors degree and also a Juris Doctorate degree. In conclusion, I would be honored to take care of your dog!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Temple
Once again, she has gone above and beyond for our pets! It was a relief to know our home and four legged family were in good hands while we were gone for the week. We could not ask for anything more in a sitter. Our dog loves her, and even our extremely timid cat came out to say hi to her a few times. It’s an honor to hire her, and we certainly will do so again! Thanks so much Mary, for giving us that peace of mind!

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Temple stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Temple. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
