About: I love all animals, and creatures! My goal in life is to own an animal sanctuary one day, to house rescued animals. I’ve been caring for animals since I was a pre-teen, and it’s where my passion and empathy lie. I’m very calm, loving, and would be honored to give you relief in knowing your fur children are left in good care. I have two dogs of my own and a few hermit crabs, and I even feed the squirrels, bunnies, & birds that frequent our outside space. Reach out! I’m excited to help! This is my business. I’m fully invested in expanding, and being available to current and future clients. Animals bring me joy. Caring for them, keeping them safe, and in their routine, in their families absence, is what I’m here for. A long with lots of love and play time! I’d prefer to do home drop in’s, but my dogs are very friendly and love to play. I have a fenced in yard, but at this point unless emergency, or further discussion I prefer to drop by your home!
“I highly Recommend Sequoia. She was very attentive to our dog Oakley needs. Everything we asked of her was followed through with evidence of pictures and videos. Upon returning after a 2 day vacation our house was neat and clean......she was very respectful of our home. We will be contacting Sequoia again for further Oakley sitting duties!!!!!!!”
“I’m so very happy with Laura’s kindness and compassion. She’s been so helpful and I was able to leave without a worry. My puppy was in the best care imaginable!! Thank you so very much.”
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life and have always had a deep love for caring for them. Growing up with dogs taught me early on how to be responsible, patient, and attentive to their needs. Over the years, I’ve regularly helped care for neighbors’ and family members’ dogs, handling everything from daily walks to overnight stays. I currently work at a dog kennel, where I care for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Through this experience, I’ve become confident in administering medications, managing feeding schedules, and maintaining a clean, safe environment. Whether it’s playtime, snuggles, or special care, I’m dedicated to making every dog feel happy and loved. I am currently a nursing student and am able to care for pets before, after, and between classes, as well as on weekends. I’m great at managing my time and always make sure pet care fits seamlessly into my routine. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday drop-ins, or weekend stays. Every dog is unique, and I always adjust my care to fit their individual needs, energy levels, and personality. Whether your pup loves long walks, prefers quiet cuddle time, needs extra patience, or has specific medical or behavioral needs, I’m confident in creating a routine that keeps them happy and comfortable. I’ve worked with dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. Whether I’m caring for a playful puppy or a senior who needs a slower pace, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for.
About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. I currently am still in college and work a part time job until 6pm on the weekdays. However, I can make myself available before 6pm upon request! I do not work on the weekends so I am a available for your pet care needs! I would prefer to watch your pets in your home. I will keep an eye on each animal and care for your pet like it’s my own.
About: I've taken care of dogs since for many years. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets. I also trained my parents dogs and my siberian husky. I enjoy taking care of your animals while you go on vacation or need someone to watch them for a day. I will make sure they get the attention while you're gone. I will also send you photos of your fur babies while you're having fun on your vacation. I know it can be quite nerve wracking to let someone else look after your pets, when they become family to you. I am always willing to do meet and greets prior to the time you need me, to make you and your animals feel more comfortable.
About: I have lived with dogs, cats and bunnies since I was born. I took over training them at a young age because I have the patience and empathy to connect with animals. I have trained all of my dogs to an advanced level and have experience training cats as well. I treat animals with the same dignity and respect that I treat humans with. I run my own 3d print shop and have a lot of down time during and between jobs. I can do short or long term pet care as my business needs can be scheduled around that. I have a fully fenced yard, 3 very diplomatic dogs to keep them company and the ability to separate my pets from yours for the duration if needed. I will follow all instructions left for me when entering a client's home and do only the tasks asked of me.
About: I thought I would grow up to be a veterinarian. I love to sit and enjoy my time with Dogs. Animals my passion and I love and enjoy all of them! I’d love to use my strengths and education with 15 years of hands on animal handling skill and training to cater to the needs of your pets to comfort your companion while you're away, I can assure you the pet owner they’re living their best life in my care. I send tons of pictures and show love care and compassion. I have been an animal handler and curated for 15 years, comforting and catering to your companions. I would love to be that trusted person you book when it comes to your pets needs and overall bliss! I have open availability. Taking new clients! I handle dogs and cats every single day! I have a wonderful dog named Charlie (really my mom’s dog) and have been handling a multitude of breeds for 15 years. Learning all different kinds of personalities. I have come accustomed to understanding animals in a way that serves me and can serve you comfort and overall peace and joy knowing your companion is in the best care possible. I love being an animal handler and specializing in dogs specifically. I have curated my skills and know how to really be there for your pet in a way that matters. Every day and every action will add up in your overall animals life quality and I know how to do things for your pet that will matter later down the line, when you don’t have time to. I do! Communication is huge for me and your pet! Your pets schedule and goals are my mission and I don’t miss out on sending tons of update pics and what we have planned for the day! I care for dogs in my clients home. I do not host in my home. But the ultimate focus when I’m at my clients home is paying attention to your dogs behavior. Separation anxiety is a huge trigger for dogs not eating and becoming unhealthy and creating unhealthy habits and I do everything in my power to distract the worry and bring play and fun and most importantly comfort. Your dog will learn how to communicate with me very quickly and once I can assess their needs, wants and desires then they tend to feel heard and more at peace with their owner being away. Creating or sticking to a schedule and incorporating healthy dog play and walks is important. A healthy dog is an happy dog! When I come back they are joyful! I love that feeling of creating a good relationship with your pet, And with YOU!

Briana did a great job with our cats while we were gone over the weekend. Our oldest has several medical issues and takes a few different medications every day, including insulin injections. She did great with following all the instructions and staying in contact with us. Definitely will use her as a babysitter again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Carrollton is $33 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $23 and $44 per night. 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 166 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
