“Rachel did a fantastic job taking care of my cat Tilly while I was out of town! She provided drop in visits to feed and play with Tilly. She communicates well and is very detailed and professional. I enjoyed the daily pictures and updates. I will definitely be booking again in the future!”
“Emma was awesome! She was very flexible when I ended up not leaving as soon as planned. She happily modified the booking unprompted. She also checked on my plants after a storm and took Lu on a walk (which she loves. Would recommend!”
“I highly recommend her, she is very responsible, she arrives on time and takes good care of your pet, she sends you photos of the moment, which I thought was very nice of her”
“Lisa was very professional. She will be our go to sitter. We have a puppy and an elderly dog and she quickly knew exactly how to interact with both of them and meet their needs. We returned from our trip and it was like we never went! We are so thankful to be able to leave our dogs in their own environment and have them be so content when we return.”
“Kayla has watched our two dogs while we were out of town for the last year. Our dogs love her and we loved that she was always super communicative with us. One of our dogs is a senior on a lot of medication and Kayla always followed our instructions which was super important for our dog’s health. We definitely recommend Kayla to anyone looking for dog care.”
“Brooke offers us such peace of mind while we're away! In her hands we know our cats' physical and emotional needs will be taken care of. I always enjoy getting her comments and photos after she's checked in on everyone. As long as she's available, we'll always hire her.”
“Julie was great! We were going out of town for a long weekend and could not take our dogs. We have a doggie door, but I needed someone to drop in each day to feed, water, play, and just make sure they were ok. Julie arrived on time, sent pictures, and gave me little updates that eased my mind each day. I would highly recommend Julie!”
“Aleisa is such a pleasure to work with. Friendly and engaging. Puts Wendy’s timid personality first when interacting. Definitely makes time to make us feel comfortable with leaving and Wendy feel safe when we are gone. So grateful to have found her.”
“Jacie did a great job of taking care of our two mid sized dogs. One is an older dog and one is a puppy each needing different individualized attention. She met their needs and took great care of them. I will definitely be using her again in the future! Thank you, Jacie”
About: Hey everyone! I'm back after taking some time off and super excited to meet all of you! Sense I am unable to foster or adopt another dog, seeing as I have 1 already, I thought this was the next best thing. I've had pets since I was in the womb and they are my life. I work from home, so I can spend plenty of time loving on your babies! I have grown up with big and little dogs, so I have no preference. I can't wait to meet you all! I work from home so I'm just looking to add some more activities to get out and smell the fresh air and meet some new fur babies!! My work is flexible, so I'm available mostly according to your schedule! A typical visit with me includes meeting before the initial start of the job so we can get acquaintanted, and you can introduce your babies and give me a run down on how you like things done! Typically, I feed them and give them fresh water, then take them for a good walk and when we come back I like to get a little play time in. If feeding isn't involved, we just go out and play for a bit!
“Relocating from Los Angeles to Tyler for my residency at UT Tyler was stressful, and I was especially worried about leaving my fur babies, Luna P and Washington, with a sitter during the holidays for a whole week. I feel incredibly fortunate to have found Raul. He kept me updated throughout the week with pictures and thoughtful texts, even asking for specific details to ensure he was meeting my pets' needs. Raul was on top of everything, and it was clear he truly cared about my bbs. Washington, who is very shy and nervous around strangers, warmed up to Raul by day three and was even playing with him! Knowing my pets were in such good hands allowed me to fully enjoy my time with family, without any worries. I highly recommend Raul. He is trustworthy, responsible, and reliable—qualities I truly appreciated during such a busy and stressful time.”
About: I am an animal lover though and through. I have professional experience working at vet clinics, humane societies and zoological facilities. With this experience you can feel relieved in knowing your pet will be cared for in the best way possible. I work part time with Wednesday, Thursday and Friday off. I am available whenever needed on my free days! We can work together to figure out a plan that works best for all parties. I can customize care plans based on individual needs. I understand that every pet is an individual with different likes and care needs. Assuring that our furry family members get the care they need is top priority.
“Kimberly was punctual. She sent pics of our fur babies smiling and playing! And she even checked for a package delivery we were expecting! We’ve already booked her for another drop in visit!!”
About: I've taken care of dogs of all kinds, from as big as Great Danes to as small as Chihuahuas. I'll make sure your dogs are healthy and happy. I am taking online summer classes at The University of Texas at Tyler so I have a lot of flexibility throughout the day for your pets. My Dutch shepherd is very low energy. He gets let out to go to the bathroom every couple of hours and gets fed twice a day.
About: I mostly have experience with cats but throughout the years I have house sat friends dogs and we got along great. I know that most dogs and cats would benefit from seeing a friendly face in the middle of the day and I hope to be that face for your best friend. I currently walk 2 paths in my day to day. One week I'm working hard on media editing and production and the next week I'm working a little less hard on media and focusing more on taking care of my 2 sons that I have fifty-fifty custody of. However, I have enough flexibility that I can stop by and be that extra friend to your furry little ones in the middle of the day, for about 30 to 60 minutes, during your work week. Seeing how I am mostly someone that does visits I will do everything I can to keep your little furry ones safe in your home, yard, ect... I will also do my best to follow any specific instructions you have for spending time with your pet to keep them comfortable and safe. Please feel free to give me details on what your little one likes and enjoys so that I can make sure that they have a good time when I'm there.
About: I’m an animal lover with a passion for caring for pets. I’ve taken care of and owned both cats and dogs of all sizes. I understand the importance of keeping them happy and healthy. Whether it’s going for walks, playing, extra health needs or just giving lots of cuddles, I’m here to make sure your furry friend feels loved and cared for. I look forward to meeting you and your pet soon! I have a flexible schedule and can be made available if allocated enough time to arrange my schedule! Please try and give 3 days in advance if possible! I do live in an apartment complex, I have access to Dog parks and lots of grass and free space for them to wander and go on walks! I am a relaxed dog sitter, they are allowed to sit on my couch and bed with me! I have hardwood floors and puppies or seniors who are not pee trained are not an issue.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Tyler on Rover is $16.05 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 292 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Tyler. 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 Tyler 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Tyler. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% can help with daily exercise
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.
