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.
“Amber did a wonderful job looking after our four cats. She was so pleasant to work with, was prompt, organized and followed directions well. You could tell she cared about the cats and that they were doing well. We can't thank her enough and hope to have her care for the kitties 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!”
“Skylar did a fantastic job taking care of my two cats while I was away for 2 weeks on business. My cats warmed up to her quickly. The care was complicated by some medical issues with my cats, and the fact that I had just recently moved to a new place, but she handled everything fantastically and kept the cats happy and healthy”

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’m a lifelong animal lover inspired by Steve Irwin. I have experience with both cats and dogs, including large breeds like mastiffs. Friends regularly trust me to care for their pets while traveling. I prioritize calm, attentive care, maintaining routines, and making sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and well looked after. As a full-time therapist, my weekdays are primarily dedicated to client sessions. I am most available for pet care on Thursdays through Sundays, which allows me to provide consistent, unrushed attention during those days. On my available days, I structure my routine around scheduled check-ins, walks, feeding times, and maintaining each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I prioritize reliability and clear communication with pet parents so they feel confident their pets are cared for while they’re away. This setup allows me to stay fully present with clients during the week while giving pets my focused time and attention on weekends and Thursdays. provide a calm, attentive, and reliable presence focused on basic care needs including feeding, walks, and play. My approach is centered on maintaining each pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure while their owner is away.

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.

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.

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.
