“Another great experience! Alyssa always takes such awesome care of our cats and provides us with thorough updates and pictures at each visit. We never like having to leave our cats but she makes the experience stress free!”
“Daniel is a phenomenal sitter and allowed our dogs to feel at ease. He’s extremely thorough and ensures their well-being is paramount. Cannot recommend Daniel highly enough!”
“We had a last-minute need for a cat sitter, and Melissa came to the rescue! She took great care of Loki, was timely with communication, and shared photos and notes from her visits.”
“Lily did a great job taking care of my fur babies! She sent me pictures with my babies. She sat in the yard and played with them. Gave them lots of love! Also, did a fantastic job keeping the pens and floor clean along with fresh bedding, food and water. I was anxious about having someone else take care of my babies but she eased my anxiety with how good she was with them. My babies were comfortable with her as well which made it even better. Definitely recommend!”
“Julianna was nothing but amazing. She took great care of my three dogs and even spent some time walking and playing with them to help burn off energy. She communicated well by asking questions which showed she genuinely cared for my dogs rather than just earning a check. One of them had an accident throughout Julianna’s visit but she didn’t hesitate to help with clean up and I’m extremely grateful for that. I highly recommend using her and plan to do so again myself in the near future.”
“Deanna took great care of my fur baby! She sent great pictures and notes. She went above and beyond several times and spent more time with my cat than I had booked for her. My cat got along great with her and he was happy and healthy when I got back. High recommend!”
“Andrew was a great sitter for our guinea pig Jasper. He’s very thoughtful, attentive and follows directions well. Having such a great sitter makes going away easier. We will book him in the future! He also took care of my herbs while we were away which was also much appreciated.”
“Maria went above and beyond this time to care for my babies. They love her and got lots of playtime as usual, but this time my house was dealing with an ant infestation. She notified me so that I could call pest control and helped spray and wipe away the ants she could see in the meantime before they were able to drop by. I was very anxious about the situation and she continued to provide updates and let me know that their food and main play areas were safe”
About: Hello! :) I am a dependable, caring dog lover who works from home, so your pup will have someone around throughout the day. I've cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages by visiting friends and families homes for potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship. I'm experienced with giving oral medications, including chewable medications, and I'm happy to follow your dog's daily routine to help them feel comfortable while you're away. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I'll keep you updated with messages and photos during each visit. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for while giving you peace of mind. :) I work from home Monday through Friday, which allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, companionship, and supervision throughout the day when they are home with me. I can easily fit a walk, feeding, playtime, and medication (if needed) into my schedule. My flexible routine allows me to give pets plenty of attention while keeping them on their normal schedule. I provide a safe, comfortable environment where they can relax and feel at home. I also have a crate available for dogs that are crate-trained or owners who prefer crate time. I do have a fur baby of my own if your pup is friendly to other dogs, to keep each other company :) When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their routine as closely as possible. I respect each home and make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I also am a picture person so i send regular updates and photos so owners know how their pets are doing :)
“Jackie was very nice, came to meet me before she started and was here when expected. She had to clean up more than her fair share of pee with a new puppy and a jealous brother dog. Thanks Jackie for coming on short notice as well!!”
“Stella has been wonderful with Moria and we will always look forward to having her come stay with our kitten cat. She takes great photos and sent us notes as well.”
“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.”

About: I’ve always been a dog family, growing up with always 2 dogs or more in my family households. When I was 20, I adopted my soul dog Dusty, who was extremely dog reactive. He showed me a lot of how to deal with reactive dogs, especially on walks and dealing with strangers who may not get that their dog may be friendly, but yours may need that extra space to be comfortable. I now also own two cats, adopted from the local shelter Paws and they have become my life. They are very clingy but also shy towards strangers. So I also very understand if you own some shy cats, I would love them just the same! I currently live all year in State College, work full time but still have plenty of time for my cats and still have more time for others. Just let me know 24 hours ahead or more and it can happen! I am fully comfortable crating all kinds of dogs, walking any breed, or dealing with any shy temperamental cat. I really love animals with all my heart, and you have my word when you’re not home- you don’t need to worry about your furry loved one back home.
About: I've worked in veterinary medicine for the last 12 years and still going strong and I am pet CPR certified!! My knowledge for the health and safety of your furry family members is unmatched! I have experience with every kind of pet and pets with special needs. I have 1 dog, 4 cats, 2 spiders, a snake, and some fish of my own that are basically my children. Most of my pets are seniors!! I like to keep owners updated daily with pictures included! I work most days from 9-5 at a veterinary clinic. My mornings and evenings are open for walks or feedings and I am available for overnight stays as well. I am open to however you would like me to care for your pet as long as it doesn't not put your pet or me in harms way. I love my pests as my children and will do the same for yours!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Temple on Rover is $24.42 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 1,983 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:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
