About: Hi, I’m Kortney! I’m a stay-at-home mom and passionate animal lover who understands that every pet deserves patience, kindness, and personalized care. As the owner of both a Chihuahua and a Rottweiler, I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply having company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, from small companion breeds to large, high-energy dogs. I’m experienced with strong leash pullers, maintaining routines, administering oral medications, and recognizing changes in a dog’s behavior or health. I understand that every dog has different needs, and I adjust my care to fit each pet’s personality and routine. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable care throughout the day. During some visits and walks, my toddler accompanies me, so I only accept bookings for dogs that are comfortable around children and are not child-reactive. This helps ensure a safe and positive experience for everyone. Your pet’s safety is my highest priority. I carefully follow all care instructions, double-check gates, doors, collars, and leashes, and always stay aware of my surroundings during walks. I take the time to build trust with every pet and create a calm, positive environment where they can feel relaxed while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and detailed Rover Cards after every visit so you always know how your pet is doing.

“Kaylee was great. As a fellow Army wife I really appreciated her professionalism and assistance while I had to take an unexpected trip leaving my two dogs during the day for longer periods then I wanted. Something as simple as letting them out and in for a midday potty break took the pressure off of myself and my husband who was tied up at work for long hours. Great updates and pictures. I know who I am calling next time I need some help again.”

“Amanda B. did an amazing job with our 5 dogs while we were out of town for 2 days. It was a huge relief to know our fur babies were in good hands and I absolutely loved getting pictures of them each time she dropped in. Seeing them happy and playing around put my mind at ease. If you are considering a pet sitter, I highly recommend her!”


About: I have over a year of professional experience caring for dogs and cats as a pet sitter and dog walker with The Purrfect Paw in Waco. I’m experienced with following detailed care instructions, feeding routines, walks, playtime, medications, and providing attentive care based on each pet’s individual needs and personality. I’m comfortable caring for multiple pets and understand how important it is to be dependable, communicative, and respectful of both pets and their homes. I genuinely love getting to know each pet and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I currently have a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to provide your pets with the attention and care they deserve. I’m available throughout the week for drop-in visits, walks, and pet sitting, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine as much as possible. I always follow each owner’s care instructions closely and make keeping pets safe and comfortable my priority. From my professional pet-sitting experience, I’m used to caring for pets in their own homes, respecting their routines, keeping doors and gates secure, and making sure their space is left clean and tidy. I’ll also keep you updated so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is being well cared for.

About: Whitney Amanda but I go by Mandy!I am new to rover and looking to grow experience. My services are walks ( or even runs as I enjoy running!) and drop in visits.

I would love too help you get great care for your fur babies!! I am currently full time at a hospital but looking to help with evening or overnight care.

Whether it's adjusting feeding schedules for each furry friend, managing different routines, addressing health concerns, or dealing with hyperactivity, you can rest assured that I've got it all covered with care and enthusiasm. I am a student with mainly online courses, which means I can be with your furry friend for the majority of the day and week I currently work part-time evening shifts that last about 5-6 hours, usually from 5pm to 10pm, Friday through Sunday, with occasional weekday shifts. So I’m more than happy to take care of your furry friend during the day and keep them company overnight!

About: I grew up with cats and dogs my whole life. As an adult, I’ve adopted a cat and dog from a local animal shelter and hope to foster in the near future. I will work my day job M-F so will spend my weekends taking care of furry friends. Occasionally, I will make my weekdays available when I have the opportunity to do so. I have taken care of neighbor’s pets for years while they are gone on vacation and have gone above and beyond in taking their dogs for walks and providing them with necessary attention. With cats, I have also cleaned litter boxes, played with them, and provided several updates for their parents.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who would be thrilled to care for your pets like they’re part of my own family. I’ve had dogs my entire life and have had cats for the past 7 years. My home is currently filled with 7 animals of my own—2 dogs and 5 cats! They’re definitely my favorite part of home life (other than my husband, of course lol). I regularly care for the pets of my family and friends, including my brother-in-law’s dog, who I watch very frequently, as well as my family’s 2 dogs and cat. I also occasionally care for a close friend’s dog. One of my longer pet-sitting experiences was caring for my cousin’s dog for 3 months while she recovered from a broken leg. We are an extremely pet-friendly household and genuinely love having animals around. When friends come over, we’re always telling them to bring their pets! My schedule is currently completely open, and as an at-home wife, I’m able to be home with your pets for the majority of the day most days. I’m happy to provide plenty of attention, companionship, playtime, walks, and cuddles so your pets feel comfortable and loved while you’re away. I’m comfortable caring for all kinds of animals and would love the opportunity to get to know your pets and their individual personalities and routines. I know how important it is to leave your pets with someone you trust, and I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I would want for my own. Our home is a very pet-friendly and welcoming environment, and our own pets are a huge part of our everyday life. We currently have 2 dogs and 5 cats, so we’re very comfortable with animals and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. Because I’m an at-home wife, I’m home the majority of the day and can provide frequent supervision, attention, and companionship. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions you provide. We have a large, fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely get outside, play, and enjoy some fresh air. We also live right next to a park and creek, which gives us plenty of opportunities for walks and outdoor time for pets who enjoy exploring. Safety and trust are extremely important to me. I know how hard it can be to leave your pets with someone else, so I want you to feel confident that they’re being cared for, loved, and treated like family while they’re with me. I also understand that not every pet is comfortable around other animals. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s personality and needs beforehand and make sure we have a plan that keeps everyone comfortable and safe. For pets who need or are more comfortable with their own separate space, we also run available to set up kennel(s). I’m happy to accommodate individual needs and make sure every pet has a safe and comfortable environment. Safety and trust are extremely important to me. I know how difficult it can be to leave your pets with someone else, so I want you to feel confident that they’re being cared for, supervised, loved, and treated like family while they’re with me.

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.
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.

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.

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.
