About: I’ve had the joy of caring for and training dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities over the years. From raising and training puppies (including service dog training experience) to caring for senior dogs with medical needs like insulin injections, I’m very comfortable with adapting to new dogs and their needs. Whether your dog is calm, anxious, or a little mischievous, I’d be happy to help get their energy out or help them feel calm when you aren’t able to! Because my current work is building a start-up business, I offer great flexibility for your pet's schedule! I’m available most weekdays starting early in the morning through 6:00 PM, and again in the late evening from 8:30 PM to 10:00 PM. Whether your pet needs an early morning walk, mid-day attention, or a late-night check-in before bed, I can easily fit their routine into my day. Your pet’s safety and wellbeing are my priority. From my experience in all life-stages, medical care (administering medications/injections), and training (obedience/service dog), I am able to handle all temperaments with patience. I maintain strict safety routines: securing doors and gates, following your exact instructions, and double checking your pet's health and needs. I always provide a photo update with visits so you can have full peace of mind!
“Kayla accepted my last minute booking and helped take great care of my cat Tilly while I was away! She was very responsive and sent updates/pictures. I would recommend her”
About: I am offering drop-in visits for dogs and cats and daily dog walks. I have owned many dogs and cats in my life two of which were senior dogs. I am very responsible when caring for senior dogs, I understand the time and effort required for their care. I currently own a 3 year old dachshund lab mix named Bud that I adopted from the Nacogdoches Animal Shelter. He has very high energy and is very active. I take him for daily walks and play with him daily. I really enjoy working with animals and I am very much a dog lover. I am very reliable and hardworking and will always do my best to give your pets the best care that they deserve. I am very excited to care for your beloved pets. I work full time for the City of Tyler. I am available most week days after 6. I am available anytime on most weekends before 9 pm. I walk my dog daily and take him to a fenced in dog park 3 times a day. When with a clients dog I always stay with them when outside on leash or in a fenced in yard. I am always sure to keep an eye on the dog when outside. I am very attentive with pets I have had pets my whole life and have always provided excellent care to the best of my abilities.
“Kyla went above and beyond when she came over to take my pup outside. She sent pics and eased my mind on my first day back to work after adding the new puppy to our family. She’s a great communicator and very easygoing. I will definitely be asking (begging) her to come back! ?”
“Rachel was very responsive any time I needed to update something. She came twice a day to care for my cats while I was gone. Each visit she sent me a text and pictures, which is what I like. Litter boxes were clean and cats were calm when I returned. I will definitely use Rachel again.”
About: Ever since I was a toddler, I always been surrounded by animals. Whether is a dog, cat, bunnies, chickens, and so forth. I always had compassion for animals, so I’m trying to save up to become a vet tech. I currently own 4 dogs, Pekingese, Peke-zu, and 2 Chows , so I’m pretty used to the chaos. I know some basic commands such as sit, down,and leave it, so if you need help with that I’ll gladly teach your pet. I also don’t mind if your pet needs a bath and blow dry, just let me know ahead of time, so that I can bring my dog dryer and brushes. Thank you for your time and I’m looking forward in meeting you and taking care of your fur babies. I’m currently unemployed, so I definitely will have time in looking after your pet. I normally wake up as early as 5:30 am since my dogs are my alarm clock since they’re ready for food by 6am. I will prefer at home dog sitting since I have 4 dogs at my house and depending on your dog it might be overwhelming for them. I have slip leashes if you need help with corrections if your pet tends to pull when going on walks.
About: I have had dogs my whole life until I got horses at 13. At one point in my life, I was taking care of 4 dogs (almost 6), a bunny, and 6 horses. Over the years, I have lost some of my animals, so now I care for 1 dog and 4 horses. I love animals; I honestly can't imagine my life without them. Also, I worked at a vet's office as a kennel tech for 3 years. So I am very comfortable with anything that your pet might need within reason. I'm currently doing online classes in college. My schedule is flexible, and I will communicate if it changes. Weekends can be free, but I love spending time with my family and having my own time to do whatever I need to do. When I go to someone's home, I like to ask questions that will help me better understand their pet. I am very patient, willing to go at their pace. I am good at following instructions. I will be there on time, make sure they have everything they might need, and communicate if I can't find it, if your pet may need something, or if I have questions. Also, I will tell you if I see anything out of the ordinary
“Our pups were clearly well loved and taken care of! Sarah was very responsive, shared many updates & photos and was the best Rover experience we have had so far! Thank you Sarah, we will definitely be using you again! ❤️”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of personalized care and attention I give every pet. I understand that each animal has their own personality, routine, and comfort needs, so I make it a priority to help them feel safe, loved, and stress-free while you’re away. I’m patient, dependable, and detail-oriented, and I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, including energetic puppies who may need extra patience, consistency, potty breaks, and basic reinforcement of training routines, as well as senior pets who may need a gentler pace, medication support, mobility awareness, and extra comfort. I pay close attention to behavior changes, feeding schedules, and special instructions so owners can feel confident their pets are in caring, capable hands. Whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddle time, or sticking closely to a pet’s established routine, I focus on creating a calm, trustworthy experience for both pets and their owners. As a teacher, I have a dependable routine that allows me to provide care in the mornings, afternoons, evenings, and 2–3 check-ins during the workday. My structured schedule makes it easy to provide consistent, reliable care, and I often have even more flexibility on weekends and school breaks. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. In my home, pets have access to a large, securely fenced backyard for safe play and exercise, and we have two friendly dogs who can offer companionship for pets who enjoy being around other dogs. I always make introductions carefully and prioritize each pet’s comfort and safety. In a client’s home, I follow their routine closely to help pets feel secure, relaxed, and well cared for.
“Carly went up and beyond without even knowing us! Took care of not only are dog but anything she saw needed attention she intentionally took care of it. Big blessing to have someone you can trust to take care of your loved furry friends 💗💗”
About: I’ve taken care of both cats and dogs growing up. I have pets of my own I love and care for, but I absolutely adore meeting a new face and a new personality! My boss and her peers have relied on me before to house sit for them while they are away or even just to stop by and let them out on a treat and potty break while they’re off running errands or working. I have a pretty open schedule as I am a Licensed Esthetician I am able to adjust my schedule accordingly most times. That being said as a young Esthetician I do have set hours on somedays. Which are usually: Mondays, Tuesdays, and sometimes Saturdays. 8am-10pm If you have any questions about my schedule don’t be afraid to ask. There sometimes is room for adjustments on those days as well. I have a fenced backyard your fur baby can enjoy with many trees for shade in this hot weather! Almost any accommodations can be made if needed.
About: I have been taking care of all sorts of animals since I was a little kid! Whether that be farm animals such as horses, cows and goats to household pets like dogs, cats, and birds. I have volunteered at multiple rescues, have my animal science degree, and a currently work in Veterinary sales. I currently have a full time job, however I am always looking for ways to make extra money and get to meet new fur babies on the weekends or evenings! I care for your pets as if they are my own, as I know how important they are to you. I will be able to do whatever is needed to make sure they feel comfortable!
About: I focus on making dogs feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while their owners are away. Whether I’m providing drop-in visits, walks, or house sitting, I stick closely to each dog’s normal routine. This can include walks, playtime, feeding schedules, potty breaks, cuddle time, and simply keeping them company so they feel relaxed and secure in their own environment. I’m dependable, attentive, and provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. As a proud dog mom to a husky, caring for dogs is already a big part of my daily life. Beyond caring for my own dog, I’ve helped family and friends by looking after their pets while they travel or have busy schedules. These experiences have taught me how important consistency, patience, and trust are when caring for someone else’s furry family member. I work full-time as a manager, but pet care fits naturally into my routine. I carefully manage my schedule to ensure pets receive the attention, exercise, and companionship they need during my visits. My goal is to provide reliable, loving care and give pet parents peace of mind while they’re away. Because I have a dog at home, I do not offer boarding services. While my husky is friendly, I believe being realistic about the services I can provide helps ensure the best experience and safety for every pet in my care. Dog mom to a husky, caring for dogs is already part of my routine — through walks, care, and helping my family pets feel loved Because of the dog I have at home, I do not offer the boarding service. Although friendly, it just is not a realistic service for me.
About: I have been so fortunate to care for and love on many dogs from puppy age to senior, both big and small! My soul dog of 16 years dealt with heart issues the last few years of his life which gave me the skills to track, administer, and monitor his schedule as needed. I have also had pups who've dealt with stomach and skin issues, so i am experienced in that aspect as well. I have a very flexible daily schedule as I work from home and spend the day taking care of furry friends. This gives me ample opportunity to give your pets all of the love and care that they need while you are away! When caring for pets in your home, I always ensure that they stick as close to their normal routine as possible to ease their stress. It is important to create a stress-free environment and a calm relationship between myself and your furry fam!
About: I have experience dog sitting small and big dogs, and pet sitting for families I know, including caring for my bosses’ dogs and cat when they were away. I also grew up with a dog, so I understand how important it is to give pets love, attention, and a safe routine. I’m comfortable helping with feeding, walks, basic care and keeping owners updated while they’re away. I always make sure to follow each pet’s normal routine and any specific instructions from the owner, because every dog has their own personality and needs. I currently work part time and remote, so my schedule is very flexible. I can help during the day and/or over night as needed I cannot bring pets home as I live in an apartment where no pets are allowed, but I can definitely go and stay at clients house as needed
“She worked with me with my 3 puppers, and was able to drop in without meeting them ahead and made them feel so safe and happy. One of my little ones has bad anxiety and I’m so grateful to her that she came and saw them in the middle of my long shift and gave them an outside break to play!”
“Teja was absolutely wonderful with my dogs. She treated them with love and care as if they were her own. I am so grateful for her help. She is very responsible and reliable. I am so thankful for her. She took care of everything that needed to be taken care of and did extra on top of it. She wasn't late and gave me peace of mind while I was on vacation. I had a lot of anxiety about leaving my dogs but Teja really came through for us. She was super friendly and kind to my dogs. She really took a burden off me and I will always be grateful for her assistance. She has great attention to detail. She gave thorough attention to us through the app and our dogs, making sure everything was safe and secure at home. Teja is a very lovely person who truly has a giant heart for doggies! 10/10 Would recommend”
About: I have cared for many dogs in my life. I have cared for friends' and family's dogs, as well as my own, ranging from chihuahuas to great danes. I have yet to meet a pooch who doesn't like me. I will provide individual quality care to each pup and will willingly help with any extra pup related requests (Baths, brushing, and medications). I am also always available by phone if you would like to ask any questions about me or how I will help take care of your precious pup. I know that each pup is an important member of the family, and assure that I will take the best of care of the pup or pups. I'm Alexis and I will be your pup's best friend! I'm a college student so my schedule is pretty open and flexible. Perfect for all your dog's needs! I always open and honest about my schedule and will never cancel last minute. My goal is to keep your pet happy and maintain their routine. I'll always have my eyes on your dog whether it's at home, on a walk, or at a dog park. I also strive to keep your home how you left it though if you need a few chores done I don't mind helping out.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Tyler
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!

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Tyler is $16 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 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 276 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Tyler. 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.

- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
