About: With a lifetime of experience caring for dogs, cats, and various small animals, I'm well-prepared to look after your beloved pet. As a current owner of two dogs(cockapoo and pitbull), five cats, and two guinea pigs, I'm comfortable with senior pets, administering medications (even to picky eaters!), and doing whatever it takes to ensure your peace of mind while you're away. I currently work a full time job with a block schedule so I know my availability ahead of time. Even on the days I work I am willing to stop by before and/or after work. I am great with late nights as my shifts end at 3AM I am respectful entering my clients home and willing to follow any instructions provided to me. If I am ever unsure about anything I will contact my client to ensure I’m giving their pets proper care.
“Alyssa was very good with our Old English Sheepdogs. They are big dogs and she handled them very well. We will definitely use Alyssa again she deserves every bit of the 5 star rating.”
“Riley did a great job for us while on vacation! We were very worried leaving our Frenchie alone for that length of time, but knowing Riley was there to take care of her and keep her company made it less stressful. We would definitely recommend her and use her services again!”
“As always, Liceth is the best!!! We were able to relax and enjoy our weekend at the shore knowing that our sweet boy Arnold was in such great care. The pictures and videos that she shared were wonderful and made us feel close to him. He is an older boy and Liceth is so patient and sweet with him. We would recommend Liceth to anyone who is looking for top quality care for their dog!”

About: Your pet deserves more than just a sitter, they deserve someone who genuinely cares. Hi! I’m Danita, and caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s something I truly enjoy. I know how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member with someone else, and I take that responsibility seriously. Whether your dog loves long walks, jogging, playing fetch, or simply curling up beside someone who gives them lots of affection, I’ll tailor their stay to their individual personality and routine. As someone who lives an active lifestyle, I especially enjoy taking energetic dogs on walks, hikes, or runs (with your approval). If your dog prefers a slower pace, I’m just as happy spending quality one-on-one time giving them love, attention, and gentle exercise. My goal is simple: To care for your pet exactly the way I would want someone to care for mine. What You Can Expect: 🐾 Lots of love and attention 🐾 Walks, playtime, enrichment, and exercise 🐾 Optional jogs or runs for active dogs 🐾 Potty breaks on schedule 🐾 Fresh water always available 🐾 Medication administration if needed 🐾 Plenty of belly rubs and cuddles 🐾 Daily photo and video updates 🐾 Clear communication throughout your pet’s stay I know how difficult it can feel leaving your pet behind. I’ll make sure you feel connected every step of the way. My Care Philosophy: Every dog is different. Some need exercise. Some need patience. Some need confidence. Some simply need someone who makes them feel safe. Before every booking, I take time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, favorite toys, feeding schedule, commands, and anything else that helps them feel comfortable. I believe consistency creates confidence, and that’s exactly what I strive to provide. Exercise & Adventures: If your dog enjoys being active… We’ll have fun! I love: 🐕 Walks 🏃 Jogging 🌳 Nature walks 🎾 Fetch 🦴 Mental enrichment games I’ll always match your dog’s age, health, and energy level. Safety always comes first. Communication: You’ll never wonder how your pet is doing. I send regular: 📸 Photos 🎥 Videos 💬 Updates because I know they’re part of your family. Before Booking: Please tell me about: • Feeding routine • Favorite toys • Commands they know • Medications • Energy level • Potty schedule • Any fears or anxieties The more I know, the better experience I can create for your pet. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! ❤️🐾 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets the time and attention they deserve. I enjoy staying active, so regular walks, playtime, potty breaks, and even runs with energetic dogs are something I genuinely look forward to. Whether your pet needs lots of exercise or prefers a slower pace with plenty of affection, I’ll make sure they receive personalized care, consistency, and lots of love throughout the day. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions so they experience as little disruption as possible while you’re away. I closely supervise pets, keep fresh water available at all times, follow feeding schedules carefully, and provide plenty of exercise, enrichment, and affection. I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, and individualized care, and I’ll treat your furry family member as if they were my own. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how they’re doing.
About: I have taken care of dogs all my life. I have dog sat for neighbors, friends, family members, and more. I have never met a dog that didn't like me. I'm sure your precious pup or kitt will be the same. I am currently a college student. I am free during breaks throughout the school year and the summer! I can slide myself into your furry friend's routine and your vacation plans. Just give me the details. I love to take dogs for walks, play with them and spend time loving them. I will follow their routine because I know how much they will miss you and will keep things as normal for them as possible.
About: I’ve had experience working with my own zoo of animals ranging from reptiles, to small animals, to birds, and of course cats. I also have experience with dogs with plenty of experience administering medication to a wide range of animals. I’ve also worked at a kennel for 2 summers walking dogs. As a full-time High School Teacher, my availability opens up significantly in the summers. Lucky for all of us, that’s usually when everyone wants to enjoy the weather! Depending on the situation, I can be very accommodating and flexible for whatever you and your pet needs. My wife and I have our own zoo of animals ranging from reptiles and amphibians, to rabbits, to fish, to birds, and of course cats. While we are getting ready to purchase our first home together before we add a doggy to the mix, I have years of personal experience with dogs, with some professional experience working at a pet inn. Every night I spend at least 30 minutes tending to the care of our various animals, checking in on them and documenting feedings while taking note on any physical changes or abnormalities. The cats of course get more attention and more feedings, usually about 4 small meals spread throughout the day ranging from dry food to various wets foods.
About: I’ve taken care of pets for family & friends over the years, and I’m looking to pet-sit/house-sit more often by using Rover! I have experience with dogs and cats. I mostly stay in the home while the owner is away to maintain stability for the pet, while owners are away on trips. I love spending time with animals and snapping funny or cute photos of them to share with their owners while they’re away! I’ll take good care of your fur-baby and show them lots of love! I’m available for walks, feedings, potty breaks and play time for individual days or several days at a time! I work full time M-F but can work remotely from your home and take breaks! I believe that pets are most comfortable when we stick to their schedules, so I do my best to keep to them! I also enjoy texting photos and updates to their owner.
About: I have had pets all my life, and I truly love caring for and looking after them because being around animals brings me happiness, comfort, and a strong sense of joy every day. I’m free most of the day. I only work at night only for a couple hours and would love to take care of any fluffy friends. I would treat your pets like my own babys. Always keep a watch on them, feed them, walk them,play with them, and clean them

About: If your dog loves attention, belly rubs, walks, playing outside, or simply having someone nearby, they’ll fit right in here. 🐾 I’ve always been the person friends, family & neighbors call when they need someone they completely trust with their pets. I genuinely love getting to know each dog’s personality, quirks & routine because no two dogs are alike. When you’re away, my goal isn’t just to watch your dog, it’s to make sure they feel safe, loved, comfortable & happy until you’re back home. I’ll also keep you updated with photos & messages along the way, so you can enjoy your time away knowing they’re in good hands! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide plenty of 1:1!attention throughout the day. Your dog won’t just be another booking, they’ll be treated like part of the family while they’re here.

About: I have taken care of animals off and on for 20 years. I grew up around dogs and would help my parents take care of ours since I was three. I can feed, walk, water, brush, and I am experienced in clipping and grinding dogs nails. I have also watched many cats. I am able to clean litter boxes if needed. I am currently working full-time but am able to check on any animals during the week after 5 pm and before 7 am depending on how far away you are. I am also available to spend as much time as needed on the weekends. I am able to walk, check-up on, and feed your fur baby. I can also play with them. If needed I could take them to a dog park to burn off some energy. I am also equipped to take them to the vet if needed.

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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Temple choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Temple with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
