“Kayla was a really really good sitter she took care of my girls for me very well and made sure things were good in my home! I hope she continues to do this and I pray that I’ll be able to keep her as a sitter for future visits ❤️”
“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.”
“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’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.
“Thank you so much for caring for our 17 year old Bella and sons dog Larry! Also thank you for coming for a meet and greet. We have never left our elder before and you made us feel so comfortable❤️”
“Gladis was amazing! She worked very well with our dogs, making sure they were fed and walked on time. She also was very good with communication and followed all of our instructions perfectly. I look forward to booking Gladis again!”
About: I've been caring for dogs for four years, I'm experienced and walking, feeding, and playing with them, making sure they get all the exercise and attention they need. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I've had a whole menagerie at home, from dogs and ducks to fish and bunnies - I love them all! I am currently on vacation and dedicating my full attention to pet care. I am available for your free friends as my full-time job right now. Pets are most comfortable in there family home environment. Knowing their surroundings helps them feel relaxed and secure when I'm there to walk or feed them.
About: I’ve always had a love for taking care of animals and I got to pursue my passion in high school by taking the Whitehouse Vet Med program to become a certified Vet assistant. I’m currently working on getting into the tjc Vet program they have as well. I have plenty of animals at home as well as many of my friends. They would sometimes ask me questions about their pets regarding their health or they would ask me to care for them while they’re gone. I’m almost always surrounded by pets. For house sitting services: Text me for pricing arrangements! I am negotiable depending on where you live, your ideal budget, and all! I have two dogs at home so if they were coming to my home with me, I’d first put them up or take them somewhere else so the pet I’m caring for can get comfortable and used to the new setting. Then I will do all that is instructed by the owner whether that be following their food schedule, walking, or letting them use the restroom outside.
“Patti is absolutely amazing! I'm writing this review to show my appreciation for her dedication and consistency throughout the past few months. Otherwise, I want to keep her away from everyone else, so our dog Miso can have Patti all to herself. Joking aside, she is very prompt with her responses, and she is very detailed in her rover reports after the drop-in visits. Despite the requested service being only the "drop-in visits," she went out of her way to take our dog for a short walk, which we really appreciated. It's very clear that our dog is much calmer on the days that Patti stops by (Importance of walking your dog). For anyone who's looking for an excellent dog sitter, look no further (but please do walk away because we need her for our dog :P).”
“Sarah was excellent to work with! She took time to come meet my fur baby before the booking and she took excellent care of my Bella while I was away! I highly, highly recommend Sarah!”
About: I have been involved in the care of my own dogs and cats since I was 5 years old. Additionally, I have trained and fostered a dog in college through an entire semester! In the past I have helped pet sit for a couple friends overnight, so if you're looking for someone who will be respectful of your space, I am the person for you! I am in-between jobs so I will have a lot of avilability, especially between october to december! However I will need some heads up as I can't do a lot of things last minute! I care for animals by ensuring they have fresh food and water everyday, cleaning and grooming as needed. Will also play, walk, and train, and cuddle with the furry companions!
“Britni did a great job taking care of my animals over the holidays. She has cared for my older yet high energy 2 dogs and cat multiple times. She is caring and on time and communicates well. She was able to extend her care for them after we got delayed home. She also brought in mail and packages and put out our bins curbside on trash day. I highly recommend her!”
“We did a meet and greet and my girl took to Matthew. His calm demeanor I think helped calm her down, a little. Ada is extremely hyper and Matthew was comfortable and patient with her. Matthew was very understanding of Ada's particular needs from her eating and her physical challenges.”

About: Having a dog of my own has taught me responsibility. In high school, I used to dog sit overnight! I even did dog walking in my neighborhood. I am a college student at TJC, studying Medical Laboratory Tech. I am also a shift lead at Dutch Bros Coffee! I am willingly open to watch any pets on my days off or even off of my shift! I make sure to keep all pets in my sight, and interact with them if so! Walking and playing with dogs is something I enjoy!

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Tyler is $16 per visit as of November 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 November 2026, there are 277 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 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:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 99% 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
