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.

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 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.

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.
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 .
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.
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.

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.
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.
