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.

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: Experience starts young, I used to pet sit dogs in my neighborhood at 12. About three years ago I got my own dog who is a rescue whom I have been able to re-train at behaving alone at home and teach new tricks. My dog is 11 so I have great experience with both young and old. I’m currently working part time at a winery so my hours are flexible and I will be able to easily work around my schedule to fit yours. I have a big sidewalk to walk along at my apartment complex for long walks as well as a dog park. I also have plenty of at home care for all the dogs needs such as if there were accidents cleaning supplies to treat those accidents.
About: I’ve been a pet owner my whole life! I have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and breeds. From puppies to seniors, and everything in between, I can care for a wide range of needs. I am a recent college graduate, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets! I am incredibly flexible and able to work with you and your pets’ needs! I am very careful of your dog’s boundaries, needs, and quirks! I can enforce commands and corrections if necessary (trained commands, being crated, or outside time). I also have some experience with *minor* reactivity—specifically food and resource guarding. Your dog’s safety and trust is my number one priority; I learn their body language and I do not push boundaries!
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life - from energetic doodles to gentle seniors. Growing up, my family had 3 Italian Greyhounds, 2 Labradoodles, 1 Goldendoodle, 1 Bernedoodle and a Catahoula Leopard so I am comfortable with all sizes and personalities! I also have experience caring for dogs with medical needs, including giving seizures, giving medication, separation anxiety and maintaining consistent routines. I know how important it is to provide calm, attentive care and make pets feel safe and loved while their people are away! My schedule is very open and flexible for pet care! I’m available most days and can easily adjust my routine around each pets need- whether that’s early morning walks, middays visits or evening cuddles. I am also available for weekend care and overnight stays so your pup always has company and consistency while you’re away. When I visit or stay in a clients home, I treat it - and their pets - with total care and respect, I follow your exact instructions for feeding, walks and routines so your pet feels secure in their own environment. I’m very tidy, trustworthy and mindful of your space.
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.
“Samantha has been wonderful. She’s extremely communicative and so sweet, I felt 100% sure that she would take great care of our two kitties, and she really did. The daily pictures always made my day, and they warmed up to her quick! Whenever we travel, Samantha will be our first choice to take care of our fur children. :) thank you Samantha!”

About: I’ve always had multiple dogs and cats in the house since I was born and was always the one in charge of taking care of them. My Wife and I are a young couple who just moved into a big house in the Mulenburg Area. We have 1 dog, Bella who is a Husky. She is extremely friendly and loves to play even though she is 13. We also have 1 cat, Kenobi that gets along well with other cats and dogs. I am a State Trooper so I do work weird hours and weekends however my Wife is always home and loves to be the main care taker of the doggos. Once I get home it’s all play time. We have a 3 story house with a nice sized backyard. The Doggos have free roam and they love it. We also have a secluded basement where the litter box is for the cat.

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.
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.
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 .

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.
