“Erica is amazing!! She works for us weekly. My boyfriend forgot to leave the key out for her and she went the extra mile to wait for our leasing office to give her access to our apartment. She’s very sweet and our animals LOVE her. She gives them enough playtime and potty breaks. I recommend her as sitter or walker.”
About: I have always had a soft spot for animals and truly enjoy caring for them. I am a loving, patient, and responsible caregiver who understands that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. I have experience caring for dogs of different personalities and enjoy giving them plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and a safe environment where they can feel comfortable. I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can trust, and I will treat your dog like part of my family while they are in my care. I am happy to follow your dog’s usual feeding, walking, medication, and daily routines so they can feel as comfortable as possible while you are away. My goal is for every pup to feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I spend a lot of time at home and have a flexible schedule. This allows me to give dogs plenty of attention and supervision throughout the day. I can provide regular potty breaks, feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of love and companionship. I enjoy having dogs around and am happy to give them the attention they need rather than leaving them alone for long periods of time. I will follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible so they can feel comfortable, safe, and at home while their family is away. My priority is always making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I provide a clean, calm, and welcoming home where dogs can relax, play, and receive plenty of attention throughout the day. I regularly care for my three-year-old grandchild, so there is a young child in the home. I understand the importance of supervising both children and pets and making sure they interact safely and appropriately. My home has a securely fenced backyard where dogs can enjoy supervised outdoor time and potty breaks. I do not have any pets of my own, so your dog can receive plenty of individual attention without having to share the space with other animals. I make sure doors and gates are securely closed, keep potentially harmful items out of reach, and supervise pets throughout their stay. I carefully follow each pet parent’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, and daily routines. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I will treat every dog with patience, kindness, and care while making sure they feel safe and at home.
“Shara went above and beyond for my boy! She made sure he was happy, safe and well kept everyday for almost a month. We had a little health scare and she even took him to an appointment and gave him care while I was away. Very communicative as well. I recommend her to anyone looking for a trusted care giver for their pet.”
“Haylee was great about communicating timing and making sure that my dogs were taken care of during my long days at work. Very respectful of my house and made me feel better during my work days knowing my dogs were being taken care of.”
“Angelica did a wonderful job taking care of my cats while I was away! She made sure their kitty litter box was clean each day. She made sure they got fresh water and food each day. She took the time to reassure my cats and to play with them as they became more comfortable. I loved the pictures and texts she provided each day. This was my first time to use a cat sitter and I loved her¹ I absolutely plan on using her again to care of my cats the next time I go on a trip!?”

Dania has been so great this week with our baby Lucy. We lost our other fur baby last weekend and all been taking it hard, when we had to return to work we needed a sitter for our babygirl towards the end of the week. We booked with Dania and are so grateful we did. ❤️ Dania is so sweet, loving and patient with Lucy it’s means a lot especially during this time that she been hurting for her brother. She has kept her happy, safe and nurtured. She has kept us updated and asked all the questions to make sure we were ok as well during her in home visits. Lucy is a shy girl and she has warmed up to Dania’s loving vibe. She played outside with her and kept her happy. We will always check for her availability and trust her with the safety of our baby girl. Thank you Dania for you services!❤️🐾🫂

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Balch Springs is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $33 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.

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.

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.
