“Mylo absolutely loves AK! She’s wonderful with him and I appreciate her taking the time to ask thoughtful questions so that she could fully understand his routine and needs. I’m completely comfortable leaving Mylo in her care and I’m glad we found her. Anybody would be lucky to have her care for their fur baby. 🐾💛”
“Ava was awesome! Definitely took care of our furbabies and sent plenty of pictures of them while we were on our trip! First time using rover and am so happy we went with Ava definitely took such good care of our happy puppies ? Will be rebooking with her for sure!”
“Elle was a great sitter to our kitties! She took great care of them, and I know they loved having her come visit! She is very friendly and a good communicator 😁 we would definitely book with her again. Thanks!!”

About: I have been caring for animals personally for the past 14 years. I was a dog mom to Barkley, a 14-year old rescue Yorkie, who crossed the rainbow 🌈 bridge in 2024. I have experience caring for senior dogs, puppies and all ages in between. While I don’t have a backyard with my townhome, there is a ton of green space in my community for walks to provide plenty of sunshine, fresh air and exercise for your pooch. Currently, I am working from home full-time during the week with 1-in office day a week. I take frequent breaks throughout the day that allow me to provide walks and potty breaks. I want to make sure your fur baby is as comfortable as they are at home so please feel free to share the needs and routines of your pooch. As a dog mom who has utilized a sitter for the past 12 years I understand the perspective of leaving your fur baby in the hands of someone else. You can expect quality and attentive care and of course all the free tummy rubs. I currently work from home 4 days of the week and can provide potty breaks and walks throughout the day. I’m usually away from the house on average 2 hours a day total for errands or working out. I can accommodate to the needs of your dog so they can have as close to their routine. Let me know if you would prefer for your dog to be crated or kept in a specific area during the day or night.

“Stephen did an awesome job sitting for us! Our dogs managed to get out of their run, but he saved the day by fixing the broken boards. He went above and beyond to help us. Our dogs were so happy and well taken care of. I highly recommend him, he is great with dogs!”
“Mariah is great. I needed last minute care and she was able to help. I met her and her family for a meet and greet and they were so good with my babies. I will definitely have her in mind for future care :).”
“Ashanti stepped in at the last minute to help with my pup, and she was so easy to with despite the fact that this was our first time booking together! She responded quickly, ensured all was taken care of, and provided great feedback on the visit. Definitely recommend and will be booking with again in the future!”

“Samantha was great with my three-month-old puppy, showing a lot of patience and care. She was attentive, friendly, and made sure he felt comfortable. My puppy took to her right away, and I could tell he enjoyed his time with her. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
About: I've been taking care of my family and friends pets for as long as I remember. Everything from gentle giants to tiny sassy dogs, I enjoy gaining dog's trust and ensuring a good time for everyone. I am currently unemployed and have PLENTY of time and love to ensure your pet is well taken care of. I offer plenty of flexibility during the week and offer Saturday morning with prior notice. During check-ins I like to be very thorough about my visit and report all of the sassy side eyes and crazy tail wags. I let your pets guide my check-ins, for my more social, cuddly friends, I have plenty of belly rubs. For my more independent friends, I'm happy to watch them in their solo activities.
“Courtney took great care of my dogs and house while I was out of town. She was extremely flexible with the scheduled drop ins and very responsive to any messages. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone.”
“Jennifer did a great job watching over my three dogs and made sure to follow their special instructions with no problems. She was on time for each drop-in and helped me to have a stress-free time away.”
About: About me: I have time & quality care to give to the pet(s) you love while walking or pet/house sitting because I'm an online college student. I have 22 years of dog, cat and other pet care experience to include pet walking, training, transporting, vet visits & pet/house sitting listed in detail below. I'm starting in the job field of Animal Behavior on completion of my college degree. My previous career of 21 years was in oceanography, & I look forward to giving your pet the love and attention they deserve.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Balch Springs on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 6,946 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Balch Springs. 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 Balch Springs 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 Balch Springs. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
