“Trinity did an amazing job with my special needs Great Dane (blind/deaf). And putting me at ease while I needed to be away for a work trip. She's calm, cool, collected, and very kind. Thank you so much!”
“Ally was amazing! She was so great with the pups and left the house just as she found it. She checked in with us throughout the weekend and sent us pics of the dogs. I would definitely recommend her and hopes she'll be willing this sit again for us!”
“Thankful for Ariana's help with our house sitting request. She was amazing with following all the requirements and instructions for our 2 large fur babies. Sent us regular pictured updates. We were contented and comfortable knowing that she was caring for our furkids while we were away. Our pups were also very comfortable with her. We will surely be returning clients!”
“We are always scared to leave our dog with a stranger, but Sammy did great!! She updated me each time she went over and sat with him for a while so he wasn’t alone for so long. Will definitely book again in the future!”
“Hannah was very flexible, meet n greet, and is kind, confident, and understanding. She clearly has experience with loud and large dogs as well. I would trust her to watch the dogs again!”
“I am so grateful we found Kristen! She was reliable, professional, and cared for our dog Bella like her own. She is so sweet and thoughtful. Kristen is a great communicator. I would definitely recommend her to anyone and would absolutely use her services again in the future.”
“Airyana and Michelle were incredible. We were nervous leaving our girls at home while we went on vacation (rather than boarding them), but it worked out perfectly. Airyana bonded with our girls and did a great job giving one of them her medications 2x's a day (not an easy feat). Communication between us was solid - there was total transparency and zero concerns in this area. We felt comfortable with Airyana staying at our house over night and she did a great job keeping the house tidy, watering my outdoor plants, and getting our mail. We would 100% book again! Kudos to mom, Michelle, too, who helped and communicated with me if there were ever any questions or concerns.”
About: I have been a regular pet sitter for friends, family, and coworkers since I was a teenager. I have experience with large or small dogs, elderly dogs, cats, and pets that need medication or other accommodations. I have experience with dog-sitting for up to two weeks at a time. This has sometimes included, but is not limited to, administering medication, cleaning up messes inside and outside, walking, feeding, and bathing. Ensuring the safety, health, and happiness of each pet I take care of is my top priority and it is one of my favorite things to do in the world! I do not have the same schedule weekly, so I will constantly update my availability. I only know my availability up to 3 weeks in advance. Unless I have to work very early the next day, I am available for overnights at least 3 days a week (typically). I am unable to have pets at my house because I live with a family member’s dog that does not do well with other animals. Please give me any and all instructions! I will make sure to follow any routine that I can for your pet to be comfortable. I will provide as many updates/photos as requested.
“Kari and Clint are five star house/greenhouse/dog/chicken/hummingbird sitters! All of my creatures and plants were well cared for! I received daily messages reassuring me that all was well. Returned from vacation to a cleaned home. They are the BEST.”
“Chris is a great sitter! He stayed with my young dog several times this summer and each time I came home to a happy pup. I know I can trust Chris to take good care of my dog and home.”
“Lauren did an awesome job caring for our pup! She was very attentive to her needs and was very trustworthy staying in our home. I would definitely recommend her and hope to use her services again in the future!”
“Kelly was the perfect choice for housesitting my pets. She had her hands full and graciously attended to each pet and their certain needs. My oldest pup had a little separation depression and wasn’t eating a lot so she made her some chicken and hand fed her some nuggets and gave her extra assurance to make her feel okay! I would highly recommend this sitter! She took great care of my pets and my house!”
About: I’ve had pets my entire life and for the past two years, I’ve started caring for others in addition to my own. I currently own a German Shepherd and Goldendoodle. Our German Shepherd is a nine year old rescue dog and our Goldendoodle is three years old. Our two cats are 10 & 11 years old. I take any (and all) opportunities to snuggle and go on fun adventures with dogs! I have plenty of time to walk your doggos! I am usually available most week days and weekends! Any and all instructions you leave for me will be followed with the utmost care to keep your little buddy happy! I love dogs that are not mine as if they were my own! I have many years of caring for dogs and other animals. I am engaging and loving with your pet. I am more than happy to meet your expectations and needs for you furry friend and will work with you on what you should need with flexibility and understanding. I can’t wait to walk your treasured baby. Be sure that if you decide on me I will go above and beyond as that is my style in life and with animals and people.
About: I have experience with several breeds of dogs and different types of animals. My Macee is a 4 year old Frenchton! I have previous experience with cats and goats. My previous Boston Terrier, Angel (and she was an Angel❤️) unfortunately passed away from cancer in 2025 so I also have some senior/disabled pet care experience. I currently work full-time with children so some dates are limited but I am happy to help when/where I can! My availability is typically every other weekend but I may be able to make an exception where needed. Don't hesitate to ask! I currently do not have a fenced in yard so I am only offering drop in/pet sitting in the pets home at this time.
About: Hi! My name is Michelle, and I’m a Registered Veterinary Technician who graduated from Purdue University in May 2026. I’ve been pet sitting for the past five years, with four of those years backed by the veterinary knowledge and hands on experience I’ve gained throughout my education and career. I’ve had the opportunity to work with a wide variety of animals and truly love caring for them. I would be happy to provide your fur babies with the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away! 🐾❤️ My typical work schedule is Monday–Friday from 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM. I’m available for pet care before or after work during the week, and I have more flexibility on weekends. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and schedule to make sure they receive the care and attention they need! I care for each pet according to their individual needs, personality, and routine. I’m happy to follow their normal feeding, medication, exercise, and potty schedules to help keep them comfortable and stress free while their owners are away. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship, while also keeping a close eye on their behavior and overall wellbeing. As a Registered Veterinary Technician, I have additional experience recognizing changes in a pet’s health and know when something may need extra attention. Most importantly, I treat every pet like they’re my own and want them to feel safe, happy, and loved while in my care!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 1,434 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Carrollton. 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 Carrollton 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 Carrollton 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 Carrollton 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.
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.
