“Diana was amazing! She went above and beyond with house sitting and taking care of my pups. She even took them for walks. Diana is mature and very professional. I highly recommend Diana..!!”
“John was able to watch our 3 cats on short notice. He followed complex feeding instructions to make sure that our cat with behavioral issues was fed on a regular schedule in a variety of special feeders. He was also very responsive and a pleasure to work with.”
About: Hi, I'm Marquette! I work from home and welcome one household at a time, with up to two pets from the same family. I don't have pets of my own, so your dog can settle in without sharing their stay with unfamiliar animals. I grew up with dogs, previously had one of my own, and started boarding clients in early 2026. I like learning the little things: where your dog likes to sleep, how they ask to go out, and what helps them feel at home. If they're shy, I'll give them time to warm up. I'll follow their usual routine, including meals and any medication given as instructed. My clients often mention the detailed photos and updates I send. Before your booking, we'll agree on how often you'd like to hear from me and your preferred way to stay in touch. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so meals, potty breaks, walks, and company fit into my day. I also provide walks and drop-in visits, so we'll discuss your pet's routine and any time I'll be away before booking. For boarding, I can usually offer potty breaks every 2-4 hours. For house sitting, we'll agree on overnight care, daytime visits, and how long your pets are comfortable being alone so you know what to expect. I live in an apartment close to Dallas Love Field, with a park right across the street for walks and sniff breaks. There's one enclosed, fenced patio area with no exterior exit. Patio time is supervised, and walks are suited to your dog's needs. Dogs are welcome on the furniture and bed. I host one household at a time and have no resident pets or children. I'll follow your feeding, medication, and care instructions, and we'll talk through any escape habits, separation anxiety, or handling concerns before the stay. I carry pet-care insurance through Pet Sitters Associates for boarding, house sitting, walks, and drop-ins.
“Ryan is really great with my dog, Finn. He takes him for rides and plays with him… he also cuddles with him on the sofa. I get frequent updates from Ryan as well. Ryan also left my home in tip-top shape. Highly recommend!”
“Brooke was great with our Bailey! We felt very comfortable with her taking care of Bailey and our home while we were out of town. We will definitely use her again!”
“absolutely amazing from start to finish Ariana was so attentive and so loving with my old girl. I really truly appreciated it. She was also very patient with her and very communicative every day, which I really did appreciate.”
“Kimberly was awesome ! The only problem we had was that she SPOILED our dog rotten. Based on photos she sent us, our puppy PETE had more fun with Kimberly than he does with us. Thank you again Kimberly for being so gracious and kind to our four-legged child. We look forward to having you back in the near future.”
“Amazing sitter! Took my request last minute and became very close with my rather shy cat in a short time. I was so worried this was my first time getting a sitter but it went super smoothly my kittie was super happy and loved and Mackenzi was comfortable with me checking in periodically on my cat cam which made me feel much more safe we also met beforehand which brought some comfort as well. Will 100% use her as my only sitter in the future. :)”
“Once again, it was great working with Jessica! Easy communication and updates. Our pup Frankie seems happy and well cared-for and the house is spotless. We highly recommend Jessica!”
“Jamie was incredible! We had high expectations given all her great reviews and she managed to exceed them all. We had Jamie come stay at our place over July 4th weekend to look after our 60 pound staffy mix Lennox. She took fantastic care of Lennox, making sure he took his medications on time (he’s recovering from TPLO) and giving him plenty of love. We will definitely be using Jamie again and highly recommend everyone do the same.”
About: I have been taking care of animals my whole life. My family has always had dogs, horses, chickens, and more. I have interned at manzanita animal hospital where I worked with animals daily too. I am very passionate about taking care of animals and am currently enrolled at Parker University school of chiropractic to become an animal chiropractor. I am currently a student of Parker University’s chiropractic program for humans and animals. I have always grown up with dogs, and have owned horses for 6 years now. I just moved to the Dallas area from Arizona and unfortunately could not bring any of my animals with me, but I am ready to help you anyone in need here! I have full days at school on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but am very flexible for any other days of the week! I will make sure your pet always has everything it needs. I realize this varies for different pets, and I want to make sure they are healthy, safe, and also have a good time while I have them.
“Alyssa and Sam did an awesome job taking care of our girls while we were away for a long vacation. This was the first time we ever took a vacation since we got the girls, and we were super nervous about it, but quickly were able to be at ease with them under Alyssa and Sam’s care. We came home to happy and healthy pups, and we will definitely book with Alyssa and Sam again in the future!”
“Victoria is an incredible pet sitter! She arrived 5 minutes early to take care of our puppy Shiloh. She sent multiple updates, pictures, and played the last hour with him even after my girlfriend got home so she could go upstairs and change. Can't say enough how professional she is and a great listener to the smallest details that really ensured Shiloh was taken care of as best as possible. We'll definitely be using Victoria again to care for Shiloh as she went above and beyond providing exceptional service!!”
“Desirae was an amazing house sitter! She went above and beyond every day. My dog was treated like royalty. She's very easy to communicate with and has a fantastic way with pets.”
“Our dog recently became a tripod due to bone cancer and we had to leave her for the entire day due to an event, so we were anxious about leaving her alone until we found Jonitha. She helped us feel calm and reassured that our baby was in good hands. She was attentive and kept us updated and our dog was happy and well taken care of care of while we were gone. I would definitely recommend her especially if you have a disabled dog.”
“Ross stepped in to help us out at the last minute when our previously scheduled sitter had to leave town for a family emergency. He stayed at our house overnight with our older dog and she was so happy to have him there. He was responsive, sent photos, and did a great job. We will definitely be reaching out to him again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Carrollton
Ashley was so wonderful with our cat and house. She provided us regular updates and we have so many cute photos of our kitty! We really appreciated the communication and care she took of our house and pet. I highly recommend her for house sitting and cat sitting!
Ashley is a phenomenal pet sitter! She stayed at our house for just under a week and watched our four animals (2 cats, 2 dogs), and she went above and beyond in making sure our animals were well taken care of. To start, three days before we were supposed to leave for our wedding, our dog tore her CCL/ACL. Not only did Ashley make sure Sadie didn’t reinjure herself while we were gone, but she also gave her her pain medication and even set up a grass pad on our deck (so Sadie wouldn’t have to hobble down our deck stairs to use the bathroom). PLUS, Sadie started developing stomach issues while we were gone and had multiple accidents in the house (which she never does). We DoorDashed some rice and chicken to the house and Ashley started feeding Sadie the modified diet to help with her stomach. I could not recommend Ashley enough! I completely trust her with our animals and always know they’re in good hands with her. She also sends us a lot of photo updates which I appreciate!
Vanessa is amazing. She came to me on really short notice and understood exactly how to take care of my dog. She was punctual, fed him exactly on time, took great care of him, and left my house exactly how I left it. Will definitely be using her again. Thank you Vanessa!
Lindsey was amazing! I came back to a clean home and the dogs were very well taken care of. I could not recommend Lindsey more. As I was away, Lindsey stayed connected with me and provided regular updates and pictures. I will definitely be booking Lindsey in the future!
Ianna was so great! She truly cares about your pet’s wellbeing. You can tell she loves dogs. She understands your requests and is flexible. My small dog is very skittish with people but did great with Ianna. I will, with absolute confidence, contact her the next time I need someone to care for my baby.
Christina was excellent in taking care of my baby girl. She also did great at communicating with me while we were gone. I never worried about Maggie while we were gone and once we got home, she didn't even pout about our absence! The house was exactly as we left it, she even took the trash out. We will definitely call Christina again.
Any time we need a dog sitter from now on Jennifer is the only person we will go to! She took incredible care of our pups and the house while we were gone and sent daily updates/pictures which made us feel so at peace while away. One of our dogs ended up with fleas (likely from our backyard which has happened before) and she was quick to jump in and do what she needed to treat them and went above and beyond to make sure the dogs were happy and healthy. Cannot recommend her enough, so thankful we found her!
Millenique was very polite and easy to work with. She took great photos of our two dogs, Tokki and Khloe, and did a wonderful job keeping us updated. She also left the house clean and was helpful with bringing in mail, packages, and watering plants. The only area for improvement would be punctuality, but overall we had a positive experience and appreciated her care for our home and pets.

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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!

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.
