“Suzanne was very friendly and did an excellent job caring for and loving on my cat when I was away. I will definitely keep her in mind for the future and recommend her to others.”
“Anna is an absolute lifesaver! She helped us out last minute with our dogs, Lizzo and Hank, and we couldn’t be more grateful. She was super reliable, friendly, and clearly great with dogs. Lizzo and Hank took to her right away, and we could tell they were well cared for while we were away. If you need someone trustworthy and awesome with dogs, Anna is the one to call. Highly recommend! 🐶🐾”
“Monica was our first Rover sitter for our cat & she surpassed all of our expectations. We are incredibly grateful of how considerate, patient, and attentive she was with our kitten to ensure he had a good time while we were on vacation. Couldn’t recommend her more!”
“Lilianais has been wonderful and my go to for pet sitting. I have a random schedule with work these days & she has always made herself available. Highly recommend her.”
“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.”
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.
“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.”
“Brooke was amazing with my kiddos! I have Kevin, my dog, and Janet and Chowder, my two cats. They all loved her and when I got home everyone was happy and well taken care of. She let me know how they were doing and I loved all the cute photos while away ☺️ She asked all the questions when she came by to meet them beforehand and I'm very thankful for her time and how well she cared for my babies! 100% recommend for your babies too 🫶🏻”
“Dayana, Agreed to do drop ins on REALLY SHORT notice... She was prompt, communicative and excellent in all regards. I hope the next time We require a drop in She is available.”
“She was an absolute gem while watching my cats during my recent trip. From the very beginning, her communication was outstanding she sent the sweetest little prompts and cute photo updates that made me feel so connected and reassured while I was away. Seeing my kitty happily playing, lounging in her favorite spots, and clearly well cared for in those pictures was such a relief and honestly made my vacation even better. She did a fantastic job my cat was happy, healthy, and well fed when I returned. Even though I completely forgot to tell her where the extra kitty litter was stored (total brain fart on my part!), she handled everything with such grace and resourcefulness. That level of sweetness and professionalism really stood out to me. If you’re looking for a caring, attentive, and genuinely awesome cat sitter, look no further. Adaline is the real deal I’ll definitely be booking her again for future trips! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“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☺️”
“Laken took the absolute best care of our dogs while we were on vacation, and I truly cannot recommend her enough! Leaving your pets behind is never easy but she made the entire experience stress free. She kept us updated, sent pictures, and treated our dogs like they were her own! We came home to happy, well-loved pups and a house just as we left it. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were safe, comfortable, and cared for so attentively. If you’re looking for someone dependable and genuinely amazing with animals, Laken is your girl! We are so grateful for her and will definitely be using her again!”
“Sara is absolutely the best! She goes above & beyond to provide the best care for our fur babies! She keeps us updated with her visit reports and pictures of our babies. Our babies love having Sara take care of them!”
About: I am Deaf & love animals. We have 4 pets. 2 dogs (Faye & Bella - sweet girls!), & 2 cats (Mister & Garfield - our boys!) I am willing to house sit any animals of any sizes/kind. I also know how to give dogs oral medications and such. I am willing to travel about 50 miles from my house to the location for services. Check out the calendar for my availability. Thank you for looking at my profile. If you have any questions, please contact me at anytime! Available anytime but would like to know ahead of time so I can accommodate with my schedule since I work from home running 3 businesses. I have 2 dogs and 2 cats that are freely roaming around my house. If necessary, I can come to your place if you’re more comfortable with that.
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.
“Tony is by far the ABSOLUTE BEST! We went on vacation for 2 weeks and he watched over our dog and cat. His house visits were so great! He provided very detailed updates with photos. Highly recommend!”
“Jaysa was so great with our dogs. We felt that they were well taken care of. The updates and pictures provided were reassuring.will definitely have Jaysa provide drop in visits again!”
“I am so grateful to Tammy for coming to my home to help with my big Lab who is too reactive around other dogs to take to a groomer. She is always so gentle and makes it easy to get his nails trimmed.”
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Temple is $20

We are very grateful for Megan B.! We had never met Megan, yet we were in a huge last minute bind while we were out of town. She messaged instantly, and wasn't afraid to step in to the rescue despite never having me our kitty. Our cat has suffered a stroke recently, so I was really worried about him. Megan fed him per our instructions. She let our baby out for some fresh air in the backyard, and did a wonderful job helping us with the litter box, which was a godsend since we got home late that evening. So I highly recommend Megan B., and we will definitely solicit her availability again!
Anna is an exceptional pet sitter. She was always on time and very knowledgeable of administer medications to my fur babies. She have playtime with them especially with my very hyper active boy. She also very communicative. She send pictures after every visit. She is the best pet sitter I ever had. I will definitely book her again and recommend her 💯 %.
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!

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 .

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.

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.
