“Alyssa has been walking our dog daily for the past few months, and she has been great! Fenway loves getting a mid-day visitor when Alyssa stops by and gives her a quick walk around the yard. She's been great at providing care and attention to both our dog and our cat. We have never had any scheduling issues or cancelations from her. She has been great to work with so far, and we look forward to working with her further.”
“Jorden was amazing with our large lad for this drop in! This was our first time leaving Whiskey for an extended time and I think Jorden was the perfect person to check in on him. Will definitely be rebooking in the future!”
“First time using Rover. Beyond happy with the care my elderly cat received while I was away. Callie was responsive and kept us up to date daily. I would absolutely use her again in the future. FIVE STAR SERVICE!!!”
“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!”
“Colin is always amazing with our crazy boy! He is reliable and always works with Remi on treats and walks as well as feeding him lunch. Colin has helped us out on a couple last minute changes too and that is so nice to have someone reliable and who loves our boy like we do! Will continue to have Colin as our go to person on Rover for our Remi!”
“Kali was great. I can't think of anyway she could have been a better caregiver. And she was flexible about what services she offered as this was our first time having a person come to the house to care for our dogs. We have a really old dog and a puppy - the old dog is frail and needs to be shielded from the high energy pup. It is not always easy. She was a master right away. Both dogs liked her very much and so did we. I highly recommend her.”
“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.”
“Emily is great with my cat ! I was out of town for a few days and Emily checked in and set up the food and water while I was away. The pictures Emily sent were awesome to have a visual update of whet my cat was doing.”

About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life, starting my pet care career in high school at a doggie daycare, and ending up here, with 6 years of professional experience and the same love of animals I’ve had since the beginning. I do have a full time job that prevents me from doing any jobs between the hours of 7am-4pm Tuesday-Thursday. Friday/Saturday I am available beginning at 2pm, and Sunday/Monday I have open availability. I treat all animals the way I would hope someone would take care of my girls when I go on vacation. There’s nothing more important to me than knowing they’re in good hands with someone who will not only stop by and feed them, but spend time with them, maybe cuddle on the couch or just keep them company. I understand that your pets are family, and I will always treat them as such.
About: I am such a big dog lover that has loved dogs ever since I was a little girl. I am very passionate about dogs and I believe that dogs deserve the best care they need. I have been taking care of dogs and walking dogs ever since I was a little girl. I will take your dogs to the vets or trail locks if anything were to happen. If you’re going on vacation or if you need a dog walker I will be there for your dog and I will give your dog the best attention it needs and I will play with your dog and love your dog as well. Your dog will definitely have such a fun time with me because I will spoil it in the best way as possible. I am working a full-time job Monday through Friday and I’m available to take care of your pets right after I get out of work at 3:30 PM and I have full availability on weekends. I offer housesitting at the client’s house only. If I were to have animals at my house. My yard is partially fenced in, but not fully.
About: I have owned a Labrador Retriever, Jack Russell and two German Shepherds and have dog sat many others. I have had twelve years of experience with dog sitting. I will treat your dog like family with lots of love, spending time with them and many walks and adventures to dog parks around the area. I will give them lots of treats. While spending time at your home will treat it as my home with keeping it clean and able to do little stuff around the house such as watering the plants and picking up the mail with no extra cost. I have a flexible schedule, which I am able to pet sit at last notice. I have a dog name Juno who is a six year old Labrador who is friendly and gets along with all dogs. I would like meet and greets just to know the dog before hand and the dog knows me and Juno before we welcome them into our home! We want to create a welcoming home to your dog by not being a total stranger watching them, helping your dog with adjusting as their family is away. I currently work as a nurse so on my days off I am usually at home hanging with Juno and going on walks or playing in the uard I have yard with a river in the back. My dog usually off leash but because of the no fence will keep your dog on leash for safety and lots of walks throughout the day!

Dog 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.
