“It was my first time using Rover and Rachel made sure it was a good experience. She clarified any needs for the dogs, asked what was acceptable to not cross any boundaries already set, and made sure they had an enjoyable day. Couldn’t be happier to have them watched by her. Would recommend her if you need a sitter.”
“Eboni handled my pets very well! I have a mini pig who is constantly testing and needs lots of attention and firm instruction and Eboni handled it very well and I came home to a very happy pig. She also cared for my chickens well. Eboni is a quick learner and respects the rules you have for your pets and your home and gives them lots of love and attention. She is also someone I was very comfortable leaving alone in my home and left things neat and clean after a few days pet sitting. I highly recommend her.”
“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 been dog sitting for over 10+ years for family, friends, coworkers, and other referrals!! This is something I’ve enjoyed and decided to expand my services! I’ve taken care of healthy, elderly, disabled, and pets under recovery, all shapes and sizes!! Im self employed so I’m typically available to turn my full attention to pet sitting!! My time is very flexible and majority of the time I’m able to accommodate to your preferred schedule. My referrals — the ones you won’t find on the internet — speak for themselves! My clients trust me enough to have me stay full weekends overnight, knowing their pets are cared for and they can have complete peace of mind while they’re away.
“Regina did an amazing job taking care of my babies while we where out the country. Her flexibility made it so easy for my babies to adjust to our absence. Will definitely use her again.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Ava as our dog sitter. She was extremely responsive, kept us updated with pictures and videos, and gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She clearly cared for our dogs and treated our home with respect. She was absolutely lovely to work with from start to finish. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter.”

“Clover was amazing! She did such a great job with my two pups who have a fairly detailed medication regimen and daily routine due to their separation anxiety and health issues. She sent such great, detailed updates and was so attentive and thoughtful throughout the stay. We’d love to have her watch the pups again in the future. Thank you, Clover!”
“Astrid was great taking care of our two cats! She was prompt, caring, and sent lots of photos during the holiday. We felt very comfortable with her staying in our home and caring for our fur babies. Will definitely book with her again!”
About: I have been taking care of all kinds of animals since I was 10 years old. We had many cats and dogs growing up who I would feed, take on walks, and give lots of love! In college, I studied animal science, and now as an adult, I have dedicated my entire career to taking care of animals! That mostly includes livestock animals, but I have experience in small animal veterinary medicine as well! I have many friends who have relied on me to take care of their animals when they are away as well. These responsibilities included taking on walks, feeding and watering, cleaning up after pets, and being there to spend time with them. Since I have experience with veterinary medicine, I am comfortable and able to give medicines to pets as well! I currently work full-time as a high school teacher! This means my days and weeks can get pretty busy, but I work semi-consistent hours Monday-Friday and I have a lot of breaks throughout the year! I will give your pets the most excellent care in your home. I will leave your home in great condition and make sure that your pets are given quality care and love!

FAQs for House Sitting - Balch Springs
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Balch Springs on Rover is $42.8 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 4,039 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Balch Springs. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 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.

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.
