“I met Adrienne recently to have her pet sit. Upon first meeting, she asked all the appropriate questions about how to care for them. The weekend had some adventures (not fault of hers) but she handled it beautifully and showed so much love for my pets. I absolutely will use her again. ❤️ -from A Veterinarian”
“Jessica was great! She accepted our booking last minute and still made time to do a meet and greet prior to watching our dog. She was very communicative and prompt! Would definitely book her again!”
“Sara took care of our 2 dogs while my family was away for the weekend. She took great care of the dogs, sent pictures and left the house clean and just as we left it. She was attentive to the dogs and followed the routine we usually do with them. I would absolutely use her again”
“Our sweet Gimli was happy with Marilyn! She was very responsive and reliable. She shared happy photos of our dog! I appreciated finding our home just as we left it! I would recommend Marilyn for watching your pets!”
“Devon just spent 10 days at our home watching our 2 dogs (12y.o. Pit/chow and 8 y.o pitbull). I was nervous about finding someone to stay with our dogs as my older dog can be temperamental but the moment Devon came by for a meet and greet it was clear he is a dog whisperer. I received updates and pictures twice a day and never had to worry about how things were going at home. My older dog has been showing signs of dementia and Devon was able to sooth him through 4th of July and fireworks without any additional anxiety medication. Additionally, I was impressed with how respectful Devon was of our home and space. We came home to a clean house and happy dogs. We will definitely be booking again.”
“Kaila was amazing!! She took care of my German Shepherd while I was away for the weekend. She kept me updated the whole time and I’m so grateful she took such a good care of my baby!”
“This was our 2nd time having Kristen care for our dog while we were out of town, and once again, she exceeded all expectations, this time while we were traveling internationally. The 1st time she watched him, we were blown away by her professionalism, warmth, tentativeness and genuine love for animals. She made such a strong impression that we felt completely at ease leaving the country, knowing he was in the best possible hands. Throughout our trip, Kristen kept us updated multiple times a day, sending detailed messages along with plenty of photos that clearly showed how happy and comfortable our pup was. She took him on frequent walks, made sure he stayed active and engaged, and paid close attention to his individual needs and routines. What really touched us was how evident their bond had become, our dog absolutely adores her. You could see it in his expressions, body language, and the sweet moments she captured in her updates. It’s such a relief and a joy to know he’s not just being “watched,” but truly cared for and loved in our absence. Kristen is an incredible caregiver and truly a blessing to us!. Knowing she’s there gives us peace of mind that’s hard to come by. We can’t recommend her highly enough.”
“Tess is the best! One of our dogs is quite anxious. I could tell from the pictures that he was super comfortable with Tess. We received pictures and updates daily and knew they were in wonderful hands. To top everything, Tess was a super home sitter as well. Tess is genuine, reliable, considerate and a sweet and caring person. Six stars out of five!!”
“Maria is the best! She was so kind, accommodating to our specific needs, communicated very well, and loved my kitten as if he were her own. We are incredibly thankful to have found her and look forward to working with her again in the future.”
“Syd did a wonderful job watching our dog-reactive dog! He kept him safe most importantly. Communicated well throughout, even sent us pics, kept our place clean and gave our dog, Pablo lots of love! Highly recommend! 😊”
“Heidi was great. We had a few changes to our travel plans and she just went right with the flow. We were impressed when we met her with her thorough questions and enjoyed the updates she sent. When we got home our dogs were happy and didn’t seem stressed at all and Heidi left us a note with details of medication that had been given, etc.”
“I highly recommend Isabel! She stayed at our house for a week while we were out of the country, to watch our almost-21-year old kitty, Kyle. Kyle has some health issues and is on a number of medications, on a complicated schedule. Isabel made sure he got his meds as prescribed. Kyle likes to have company when he is awake, so she hung out with him a lot, and let him sleep with her. She sent us a lot of great pictures and kept us up to date on how he was doing every day, using the Rover app. She also took great care of the house. We will definitely ask Isabel to house/petsit for us again next time we go out of town.”
“Kaylie was great with our pet Bella, an older dog needing a little more comfort and companionship. Bella was well taken care by Kaylie while we were out of town a few days. Kaylie sent us pictures and we were able to keep in touch. thanks Kaylie!”
“Laurie did an amazing job. She came to meet our dog first before sitting and he immediately loved her. She was a great communicator, and shared many great photos while we were away. She also asked some great questions that proved to me she cared about our pet’s wellbeing.”
“We had Alyssa at our house for a week and our dogs seemed to really like her. When we got back they weren’t agitated or anxious or anything. I loved the pictures and updates she sent too. She even noticed one of my dogs was having bad allergies and let me know about it so I could tell her where the allergy medicine was.”
About: I grew up with a border collie that my siblings, and I took care of. I currently have a tabby cat that I got almost six years ago when she was a kitten! In the past I have also taken care of friends’ dogs and cats. My work schedule is very flexible right now, and I would love to take your dog for a walk or watch your cat when needed! Unfortunately I am NOT able to accept repeating requests at this time! I live in an apartment and have a cat who prefers her own space! I would prefer to watch pets in your home or take them outside on walks.
“Ashley did such an amazing job with our two pups Gotham and Nora! She was so sweet with them and extremely accommodating to my wife and I by even staying a little bit extra because of a hiccup in our schedule. I would fully recommend Ashley for any one of our friends with fur-babies.”
“Hannah was fantastic! She stayed overnight to care for our dog Bailey. She was very friendly, caring and thorough. She came ahead of time to do a meet and greet with Bailey and provided us with updates throughout her stay. We will definitely be booking her again for any future needs.”

Adrienne was absolutely wonderful with Quincy! She was incredibly attentive during her overnight stay. As a Type A dog parent, I provided a very thorough Quincy care document with everything she needed to know about Quincy and our home. Adrienne did a fantastic job taking notes, asking thoughtful and detailed questions, and making sure Quincy was happy, comfortable, and well cared for throughout her stay. She was also very respectful of our home and took great care of everything while she was here. Although this stay was only one night, I couldn’t be more grateful to have found someone we feel comfortable trusting with Quincy. We’re already looking forward to her upcoming stays!
Our dogs love her and the house was left perfect after she left. One of our dogs is old and needs care every 4 hours or less and some pills. He is also deaf and uses sign language to communicate. She was able to handle all of this no problem. Booking her again for our next trip!
Leslie stayed at our home while we traveled for five days. She was fantastic with communicating and sending pictures. Leslie had a calm confident energy so I felt so comfortable leaving our doggo with her. I could truly relax for a few days knowing he was good!
Jessica is fantastic! We have a 16.5 yr old dog who is very anxious if we leave. With Jessica, he is stress free and very happy when we get home. She is prompt and responsive and sends us regular pics and updates. She also takes great care of our home. We highly recommend Jessica!
Jazmin was great with our two dogs. She was consistent with their schedule, kept them safe on walks, and kept me updated the whole time we were out of town. She was respectful of our home as well while staying there. Would definitely hire her again down the road!
Laurie did an amazing job. She came to meet our dog first before sitting and he immediately loved her. She was a great communicator, and shared many great photos while we were away. She also asked some great questions that proved to me she cared about our pet’s wellbeing.
Miranda is an angel!! She was so patient and kind with our reactive dog, Nessa. We’ve always been weary of hiring a dog sitter for Nessa and this was our first time. Miranda used several strategies to make Nessa feel comfortable. By the end, Nessa wanted lots of pets from Miranda. We are so thankful for her!
Portia was fantastic! She treated my home as if it were her own and left everything spotless. Most importantly, she took excellent care of my dog and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I would absolutely recommend her and would happily book her again.
Karen was amazing with watching our pups and cat while we were out of town for 12 days. She was very communicative with multiple updates and pictures throughout the day. Karen also helped keeping an eye and taking care of things around the house to make sure everything is good while we were away. Thank you very much for everything and will reach out for future home boarding needs!
Jennifer is an absolute gem of a human and pet sitter. Shes the perfect amount of confident and calm which both I and my dogs picked up on and appreciated. My one pup is a bit anxious but by the end of the second day I had photos of both dogs loving their lives. Jennifer even road out terrible weather and put their safety first. We already have another trip booked and I cannot be happier that we have her here to help us!
Kristen was fantastic with our dogs even when our husky went full husky on the very first night. With one of our dogs being a new diabetic, it was great to have her expertise stay with the dogs so she could administer the insulin shot twice a day. We would definitely use Kristen again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Carrollton on Rover is $62.09 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 2,871 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.
