“Brooke was amazing with our 13 year old cat. From the videos and pictures we could tell that Kitty loved their visits together. It was such a relief having her there so we could be at peace on our trip , we even booked extra time. Loved having all the updates letting us know how Kitty was doing. Thank you Brooke!”
“Tony went above and beyond what was expected. Not only did he give our pets the love and care they needed but he gave incredibly thorough notes on what happened in each visit, as well as countless photos. He also gave details on training opportunities for our puppy Scout and was consistent in upholding those boundaries. We could not have had someone better looking after our babies and plan to reach out to Tony for services moving forward.”
About: I have had animals my entire life and currently have 5 dogs, 5 cats and a horse. My full time job is on a farm taking care of horses so I have the ability to administer fist aid and medications and am comfortable with all sizes and shapes of animals. Also have experience with goats and pigs. I currently work part time and travel some for work so my schedule is flexible and easy to work around. I have the ability to work evenings and weekends when needed. I will make sure to follow all the instructions given to me to properly care for your pet. I have extreme attention to detail and am able to recognize if there might be a problem with an animal because my job has been to have an awareness about how an animal is acting for the past 10 years. I also have extensive experience with my own pets and different issues they have had through my life.
“My dog has high anxiety and scared of people when she first meets her. Monica took her time to get to know my dog and more importantly was patient enough to let my dog get to know and trust her. Im so glad that I have met Monica and will be using her for the future!”
“Addy was great with our elderly border collie. She was able to get our dog, who is very shy, to come out of her shell. Addy was very conscientious about following our instructions. This was the first time using a sitter and it was definitely worth it.”
“She was wonderful and super kind. Megan went above and beyond to take care of my 2 fur babies last minute. She even took them on walks when she didn't have too! I will definitely be using her again for drop in visits.”
“Laken was superb in taking care of Bruiser and Freya for 2 drop in visits a day over the weekend. Quality time was spend each visit ensuring the needs of both pups were well carried for. Photos and texts were shared during the visits. It was obvious they both were well cared for when I returned home. I will definitely call Laken for all future pet care needed. I highly recommend Laken for all Pet sitter needs.”
“Ondrea was amazing in looking after my littles. They loved seeing her. She is prompt and very attentive to the fur babies. I highly recommend her and will be a repeat customer!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life, mostly my own and some family friends’ when they go on vacation. I’ve mostly dealt with smaller dogs but I have no problem with larger dogs. I currently own two dogs and one is a senior dog so he requires a little more attention. I can do basic care such as feeding and going for walks but I can also bathe if necessary. I currently work part-time and am in school for my bachelor’s degree. I’m taking a few summer courses but they are online so they don’t require too much of my time. My work schedule is relatively flexible as long as I have some time to work things out. I’ve done feeding and walks, whether it be for the restroom or just to get some exercise in. I live in a house with a large fenced backyard so my dogs are able to freely roam so they don’t like to go on walks much but we do take them out from time to time. I also play outside with them on a daily basis since they enjoy that. I usually bathe and groom my own dogs as well as some other dogs people have asked me to do.
“Reagan was the best! She was immediately a tremendous help and super flexible with my schedule when I needed short notice changes. Also the report cards by her everyday made my day at work! Thank you so much Reagan, Penelope hopes to see you again soon☺️”
“Olivia was fantabulous!! I was nervous about using a service to take care of my big old guy. I have always had family and friends available to take care of my fur babies until now. After meeting Olivia, I was able to rid my anxiety. She sent lots of pics. She loved on my fur baby at each of the visits she made while I was out of town. She sent updates and even gave him his meds. I will definitely be asking her to pet sit again.”
“Thank you, Sara, for your diligent care of our three kitties while we were away for Christmas! I so appreciate your willingness to take time to get to know them and their little personalities and what toys they like best. I also appreciated your detailed notes and the pictures!”
“We requested last minute to watch our cats & it has been nothing but amazing! We had a meet & greet prior which helped my anxiety. Super super communicative and very detailed reports - also takes cute photos! Will definitely go back!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Temple
First time experience and I am VERY happy!! She was great despite my dog being nutso. I definitely plan on rebooking in the near future if she’s down 😂 ALSO! I totally thought I paused my mail but I still got packages and despite her only being there to check on my dog she still brought them inside and I am SO grateful. Would highly recommend!
Austyn was absolutely wonderful. She sent pictures of my cats so I never had to worry about them. Very kind, very dependable, and even my shy, special needs kitty adores her. She gets 5/5 stars. I highly recommend her to anyone needing their fur babies cared for.
Barbie was so patient with my 2 very shy cats! She made sure they knew there was a person who would be there on time for meals and just be around the house for a little while every day. She sent me updates even when there wasn’t much to see but empty dinner plates. My cats were super relaxed when I got home. So they obviously didn’t have any major change in their routine while I was away. Barbie even swept up around the boxes!!! I would trust her to take care of my furry ‘kids’ any time. So pleased!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Temple on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 752 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.

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.
