“Alice was amazing! Her communication throughout the day was stellar, she was always swift to respond my texts and sent photos and videos at consistent morning, afternoon evening milestones. All those efforts really allowed me to relax and enjoy my vacation knowing my little one was in good hands. I will definitely be a regular.”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life , I love them to pieces. I keep them active and will do as you’d like for your fur baby! I’ll take them for rides to the park if they love rides and or parks ! I can bathe them if need be! If they stay over night they can sleep in the bed with me. Just like a kid , if you don’t allow something then nor will I ! I have pets of my own so I ask that your pet be UTD on shots and not aggressive :) Look forward to updates and photos of your baby! feel free to contact me with any questions you may have ! Thank you and I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby! I love animals and have a flexible schedule, I work around you and your baby! Wether that be in your home or mine; they will have similar schedules. In my home: the garage is shut before the main door is opened. My yard is fenced and locked and they will never go out alone. I say that so you know your baby will not have the freedom to attempt escape.
About: Ive had pets my entire life, and my own dogs my entire adult life. I was a pet sitter in collage and have watched friends and families dogs for years! I currently work 5 days a week in Seagoville, but am avaliable after in the evenings and weekends! Particularly for nightly walks or evening nights out! I am experienced with walking dogs of all sized and leash skills. My own two dogs are pullers and high energy on a leash! I am more than comfortable feeding and administering oral medications!
“Shawndreal was amazing! Kind, attentive, loved on my dogs like they were her own. She was not only a great dog sitter but a wonderful house sitter as well. She kept me informed and sent sweet pictures of the pups the entire time we were away. I would recommend her anytime!!! Also, she is a lovely human being!!!”
“Dylan is absolutely amazing! We have five large dogs and haven't left town in years because we couldn't find the right person to look after our dogs. Dylan took great care of our crew and our house. The dogs thought they were at summer camp! I appreciated all of Dylan's the updates and his conscientiousness. We are fans and will definitely rebook again! THANK YOU DYLAN!!”
About: I have taken care of dogs for over 20 years. I had a cocker spaniel for 12 years until her passing. I have dog sat and boarded small dogs for friends for many years. I love dogs but not sure if I’m ready to get my own again. Losing a pet is hard but working for Rover will allow me the companionship of animals while also determining if I’m ready to own another pet. I work full-time close to downtown Dallas but have time to check in on your pets midday and after work. I am also available on the weekends. I am available to board small and medium size dogs in my home in Seagoville. I have a fenced back yard. You will need to provide your own crates. I currently do not have any pets that live in my home. For boarded pets, I will walk them in my neighborhood. I am able to follow any special instructions needed for your pet.
“I had to leave town for three weeks and it was very hard for me to not be with my dogs. Eboni immediately bonded with my Yorkie, who is not very social. She gave frequent updates that were very comforting to me. When my Boston Terrier appeared to have an eye issue, she immediately reached out. He was fine, but the communication and action were very important to me. She could not have done a better job caring for my dogs.”
About: My attention to detail and the pride I take in all my work. Whether it comes to school, my personal work, or taking care of animals, I want to be proud in knowing I did my best! I know how anxiety inducing it can be to leave your animals at home while you’re away or not being able to care for your pet due to unforeseen circumstances. So I want to provide my service to make that easier on you! I can send as many updates and photos and videos as you’d like! I’m also a very active person, I can take your dogs on walks or runs as far as you’d like. I work full time Monday through Friday, but I get off at 3 and always available on weekends. I am beginning to go back to school so I decided to start a side hustle that doesn’t feel like work to me! Taking care of animals genuinely feels like a treat to me. I waited until I had a my own space and steady job before making the decision to get my cat. I knew that I’d rather wait until I could give my pet the best! I believe what you feed your animals and the cleanliness of litter boxes/water/food bowls are extremely important. And I believe animals need lots of attention and mental stimulation!
“I highly recommend Louis! He is extremely reliable and kept us informed as well as sending some cute photos. Our home was left in excellent condition and we felt worry free having him in charge of our puppies care!”
“We couldn’t be happier with Cassie’s care of our home and dogs while we were away! We have two middle-aged dogs and a puppy, and each of them was clearly well loved and cared for—happy, relaxed, and full of energy when we returned. Cassie went above and beyond in keeping our house spotless; in fact, it was cleaner than when we left, which is saying a lot given all the rain during our trip. It gave us such peace of mind knowing both our pets and our home were in such capable hands. Cassie is responsible, attentive, and truly wonderful—we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
About: I’ve always had a soft spot for animals, and I know how much our pets mean to us! I understand that every cat has their own little personality, whether they’re cuddly, curious, playful, or prefer their own space. I love getting to know what makes each pet feel happy and comfortable. I’ll treat your cat with the same love, patience, and attention I’d want for my own pet. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, cared for, and loved while you’re away! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care.I enjoy spending time with animals, whether it’s going for walks, playing, or simply keeping them company. I do my best to accommodate each pet’s routine and make sure they receive the love and attention they deserve! Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority! I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, and individual needs. Whether I’m caring for them in your home or mine, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ll also keep you updated so you can have peace of mind while you’re away!
“Perfect - as always with Kayla! She takes such incredible care of my senior dog…and my home while I am away. Will always recommend and she will be my first choice for any kind of care”
“Gloria (Jocie) was very responsive, professional, and thoughtful with our pups! We also appreciated that she worked from home with our dogs, so they had lots of company while we were away! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a new pet sitter.”

I have 4 (small and big) dogs and I will love and take care of your dogs like my own. My number one concern is your pets happiness and safety! I love any size dog or any breed and I know how to administer oral and injectable medications. I have 3 years of veterinary assistant experience. I am a responsible and trustworthy individual and I’m willing to go the extra mile for you and your pet. I hope to be of great service for you and your furry child.

Kendra was amazing! Skipper and Flower loved her and she took such good care of them! She was great about sending me updates and pictures at least once a day. I could tell they were being loved well. Kendra also took great care of our home. She even washed the bedding in our guest room for me! That is above and beyond. I’m so thankful for her.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Balch Springs is $43 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $83 per night. 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.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Balch Springs walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Balch Springs maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Balch Springs choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
