“Alyssa has been taking care of our now 85lbs BIG BOY since Jan 2024 (when Bishop, our pitbull, was only 3 months old) Throughout the year, she has proven to be reliable, punctual, respectful, and understanding. Most importantly, Bishop loves seeing her and going on walks with her! Not only does she takes Bishop out for walks, but she take notice of things that could be of concern and address it for his safety, such as walking him on grass during the hot summer. She goes above and beyond and we couldn’t ask for a better walker! We appreciate all that she do!”
“Super appreciate the last minute accommodation while we had to step out for a long day, as well as the pics and card update to know how our baby did while Jorden was with him!!”
“Sammy did an amazing job taking care of my two dogs, Gracie and Ruby. She followed directions, was easy to communicate with, and most importantly my dogs loved her. I definitely plan to use her more in the future!”
“Callie went above and beyond taking care of our dog Bowie! She took our request last minute which we were super grateful for. She sent me detailed updates and plenty of photos! Callie also spoiled him rotten and I will definitely work with her again 😊!”
“Nicole went above and beyond caring for our five cats, even making it out during snowstorms. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about our pets. We felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands.”
“Colin is so good with Remi! He takes extra good care of him at lunch time and even takes him on a walk in the neighborhood. Remi looks forward to all his visits with Colin and I always know Remi is well cared for when Colin stops over.”
About: I’ve had dogs in my family for as long as I can remember, and I currently live with my American Staffordshire Terrier. I’ve also cared for friends’ and neighbors’ cats. I’m comfortable with high-energy and strong breeds, as well as more low-key cats. I’ve helped manage feeding schedules, basic training, and day-to-day care for multiple pets at once. Your pet will get my full attention. I send photo updates and treat every animal like my own! I’m generally available most afternoons and weekends (some Saturdays and all Sundays) for walks, drop-ins, and sitting. My schedule can shift week to week, so please check my calendar or message me for current availability. I’ll do my best to work around your needs! I provide care exclusively at the client’s home, so your pet stays in their familiar environment with their normal routine, food, and bedding. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in visit, or in-home boarding, I focus on keeping things consistent: sticking to their regular schedule, giving them attention and exercise, and making sure they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away.
“Mikayla was a champ today. She got both of my dogs to go outside where one of them is nervous around new people. She followed instructions well and did a great job. Very good communicator and folk lots of pics. Thanks so much!!!”
“Margaret & Dawson were great and took care of our pets like they were their own. Very trustworthy, dependable and communicative. They sent us pictures and videos of the pets with each visit. We recommend booking with them and we will book with them again in the future!”
“Melissa's drop-in visit was prompt for the time requested. The pups loved spending time with her and she provided super pictures of her visit. I can highly recommend her for any of the services she offers.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Temple
I was beyond thrilled I found Alyssa on such short notice. This was my first time ever using a dog service like this. She made me feel so comfortable about leaving my dogs in her care. Our dogs are “bully” breeds and can be iffy from time to time but Alyssa succeeded my expectations! We will definitely be using her again in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Temple on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
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 .
As of August 2026, there are 1,774 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Temple. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 92% 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.
