“I contacted Brooke last minute for drop in visits and she was very responsive and flexible with my needs. She was able to make my shy dachshund comfortable, and sent great update pictures during her visit.”
“Monica is AMAZING. She’s gone above and beyond. She protected our puppies the first day when an unexpected contractor showed up unannounced. She’s been a great help and support to our family. You cannot go wrong with her.”
“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.”
“She took very good care of my Pugs. Megan is always available to walk them and takes them on a good long walk. She makes sure they do not get over heated. I would recommend her to take care of your fur babies. 5 Stars..”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs & cats from a very young age from puppies to kittens to seniors . I do love taking walks or just playing with them for their daily needs ! I do work on week days In Austin but get home around 6pm and can do walks after. One weekends I am completely open and flexible for ur needs. I am willing to accommodate for you weather that be staying over to watch ur dog or cat in your own home , or simply going over to give potty breaks a and food . I do love to walk dogs or take them out to play !
“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!!”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for family members and friends while out of town and enjoyed it! I am prompt and honest. I have also always had pets growing up. I am currently working 9am-3pm, Monday-Thursday. so I will be free to check on pets or walk them anytime after that as well as Fridays and weekends at any time! I make sure my pets always have food and water and are let out to use the restroom when needed. I typically let my animals roam freely.
“Did amazing with our 2 German Shepherds for 5 days. Made sure our rescue got extra love, attention, and coaxing to eat when he struggles while we’re gone. High energy just like the dogs and will make sure they are ran and played out. Would love to have her watch them 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.”
About: I've had two toy poodles in my lifetime, and cared for friends' and family's puppies / dogs whenever they've offered. I've handled small, medium, and large dogs and feel comfortable with them all. Your biggest concern should be that your dog will be too spoiled while they're with me. I'm aware that some dogs may run off, and am alert to the sound of scurrying paws making a beeline for the road. I will be your dog's second best friend and caretaker and be sure to send you photos of our adventures! I volunteered for an NGO called Dogs on Deployment while I lived in San Diego, taking care of deployed military members' pets. Really, I have the biggest heart, will be responsible with your pet, and make sure that everything that you need to get done gets done. I’m currently working part time and I have a coaching practice, so I am pretty flexible with my scheduling. I can and have stayed overnight to take care of pets and I do it with joy. My cat is let outside pretty regularly so that he can get the mental stimulation that he needs as a Siamese. I’ve also leash trained him and he knows a few tricks, as I’m hoping to continue to trail train him to go on backpacking trips with me. He’s already been really receptive. As far as other people’s pets go, I obviously lead with what their pet routine is. I won’t push any of my own trainings on the style of pet ownership of the owner whose pet I’m caring for.
“Mary took great care of my dog and 2 cats while I was on vacation! She updated me each time she dropped by and included pictures of my happy pets. I will be hiring her to take care of my pets again! Highly recommend.”
About: I’m a lifelong pet lover/owner and dog dad to Koda, my senior Lab. He’s mostly blind, diabetic, and still very much in charge of the household. Caring for him has given me hands on experience with insulin injections, blood sugar checks, medication routines, and the extra patience senior dogs sometimes need. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone. I’ve used this app before and know how important it is to not only take care of your pet, but keep you updated along the way. Belly rubs included. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time for walks, check-ins visits, longer visits if needed, and keeping your pet company. Caring for my senior Lab, Koda, is already part of my daily routine, so I’m used to planning around meals, medications, and potty breaks. I’ll work with you to make sure your pet gets consistent care that fits their usual schedule. I care for pets in my home and in my clients homes by following their usual routines and providing dependable care. I have a flexible schedule for walks, visits, and companionship. Caring for my boy Koda is part of my daily routine, and is a major part of my life. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep your pet comfortable and safe, and provide consistent care that fits their needs and schedule.
“Krysta took good care of my 2 cats for a full week and even took care of watering my plants for me! She sent updates on any changes that might have occurred between visits; I always knew that my animals were safe and well taken care of. So glad she was here to take care of them while I was away.”
About: I am reliable, responsive, good with communication, and punctual. I have experience giving medication and caring for our family dog, have provided in home pet sitting for friends and family for years. I love giving attention to, playing with, and offering lots of snuggles to any dog! I’d be happy to help make being away from your pup less stressful knowing they’re getting not just great, but also loving care! I am fully available Monday through Thursday. My schedule varies on the weekends, so please message me if you have a weekend request. Thank you! I offer drop in visits that include playtime, snuggles, potty, feeding and refilling water bowls, cleaning accidents, walks if requested, administering medications if needed. My goal is always for your dog to feel loved and safe when they see me!
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. Since I work at the hospital during the day, I would drop in early in the morning, lunch break and/or evening visits. I’ve had pets of my own + I use to work in a pet care and spa for a bit. 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. However, feel free to reach out as I do have off days here and there. Communication is the best form of care. You let me know what your pet needs and I am there! I am happy to provide a caring and nurturing environment for your pet.
About: I've been dog obsessed since I was a kid! Unfortunately my three dogs have all passed away within the last two years and so now my husband and I are excited to welcome & work with your pet! While your dog is with me, he/she will be allowed to have free reign of my home as well as doggie door access to a large, fully fenced back yard. Dogs are free to sleep wherever they like- on the couch, floor, my bed- I treat them like they're my own. I also live within half a mile from a well maintained park and make trips there almost daily. While you're away I will keep you updated on your pet's activities in whatever way you prefer including email, text, or FaceTime (yes I know it might seem weird but I did this with my own dogs when I was away so I'd offer you the same). I do recommend a meet-and-greet prior to dog sitting. You would need to be present for this interaction. You must provide proper vaccinations. I require 100% honesty from you and I will be 100% honest and transparent as well. I will always treat your animal with the same respect and loving care that I gave my own animals. I'm currently available full-time to devote my attention to your pets between walking, cuddling or pet-sitting. I work from home and own my own business so pet-sitting is an easy fit. I have a large fenced-in yard and a doggie door. I am comfortable with crate-training puppies & helping them learn proper potty skills. I am also comfortable giving oral and injected medications for animals young and old depending on their medical needs.
“Jasmine was great checking in with our golden doodle and our kitty! After a long afternoon inside, I know our girl appreciated a break to run around the yard and play. Jasmine let me know before she stopped in, sent pictures of our dog running and having fun in the yard, and offered to clean up the muddy paw prints on our floor afterwards :) We appreciate her being so accommodating last minute and for making sure our babies were taken care of! Would 100% have her back to check on them again.”
“Kailie was amazing with Koolaid! She was so sweet, attentive, and kept us updated with pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. We’re so thankful for her and would definitely recommend her! 🐾🤍”

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Temple is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $24 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 719 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Temple. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .
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 , 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
