“Chi did such a wonderful job taking care of our pup over the weekend! She went above and beyod to take care of our dog and make sure our house was in good shape. I will definitely use her again and highly recommend her to take care of your fur babies!”
“Lauren is incredible. We found her last minute and had recently moved to Dallas. She did a fantastic job watching our fur babies and went above and beyond. We came home to happy girls and a clean home. Lauren is prompt and communicative. 10 out of 10 stars.”
“Alexi was great! I didn’t worry about anything, she even cleaned the house a little from the storm that caused mud. I was at peace knowing she was there. It’s better than boarding my animals for sure. I will for sure use her again!”
“Fernanda was absolutely amazing with our blind dog, Callie! I truly cannot say enough good things about her. We felt completely at ease, and throughout the stay she kept us updated with constant photos, messages, and detailed updates. It was so clear that Callie was happy, loved, and incredibly well cared for! We will be booking Fernanda again in a heartbeat! If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, caring and communicative, look no further. Thank you, Fernanda!”
“I cannot say enough positive things about Lisa. Judging by her profile and favorable reviews, I knew she would be an amazing caretaker for my little girl. And when I first met for a meet and greet, I knew she could not be in better hands than with Lisa! The genuine nest and warmth she exudes is outstanding, and she has a passion for dogs that is perfect for those needing someone to watch their little furry friend. The frequent updates, pictures, and check-in were so much appreciated. My 17-year-old Yorkie has a personality, but she certainly warmed up immediately to Lisa. They even took care of house cleaning while I was out of town! I was lucky to find Lisa and will certainly only use her moving forward when I need someone to take care of my old lady.”
“Shawndreal recently house sat for my old, 13 year old dog. She did an amazing job! I needed a last minute house sitter, and Shawndreal exceeded my expectations. She met with my dog and me beforehand, and asked great questions, and I could tell she genuinely cared for my dog's well being. She took great care of my dog while I was away, and followed all of the supplement and medicine guidelines and even sent updates when they were completed. She took my dog on his required walks and sent pictures and updates. Shawndreal left the house just the way I left it, spotless. When I got home, my dog didn't leave her side, I felt a little jealous LOL. She was a great house sitter, and I'm truly thankful for her efforts. Will definitely use again.”
“We booked Dykan for the first time for a long weekend away for house sitting. He volunteered to meet us and our two dogs before the booking to make sure we had a match which was greatly appreciated! Dylan is highly responsive, always providing updates, photos and videos throughout the day and night. Not only did he take incredible care of our fur babies, he also cleaned up everything that he used, from towels to toilet! We’ve already booked him again for our next trip. Thanks Dylan!”
“Ivette was amazing! Our puppy came home happy as can be! She ran out of dog food while sitting and was kind enough to go pick some up to feed our puppy. She also worked with us when our flight got delayed, even keeping him an extra night! We are so grateful for Ivette and glad Rover connected us!”
About: Any pet welcomed! Home with AC, large backyard with privacy fence, back building with AC units, lots of space! Whatever works best for your pet.

About: I have had a pet ever since I can remember. I can walk, pet sit, or provide any help that your pet might need. I’m also fluent in Spanish! Howdy! My name is Isa and I recently moved to DFW for my first big girl job! I decided to get on Rover because I love to go on long walks and what better way to do that than with a pet? And who doesn’t like some extra fun money? If you’d like to book me as your pet sitter, feel free to contact me regarding a specific time or date, and I’ll be happy to accommodate to your schedule. But generally speaking, I’m available right after work (usually 5:30 or 6 PM) for walks or drop-ins until 9 PM, and all day on the weekends. I also work from home Mondays and Fridays most weeks, which means I have more flexibility those days. I’m very playful with pets in general and I’m not afraid of high energy levels. I will make sure that your pet is taken care of - there is no task too small or too big! Safety always comes first.
“John did a great job watching over Boog & our house. We are so thankful for the amazing communication and that we didn’t have to worry all week about our dog! Highly recommend & we will use him again when needed!”
“So thankful for Michelle! I needed a sitter last minute the day before I was to leave out of town for the holiday. She was so accommodating in meeting my fur babies and taking care of them. She updated me constantly, left notes of each visit and sent photos. So so so happy I found her!”
“Una was very caring attentive and loving to my girls they were calm and settled when I returned. She took good care of my home as well I recommend Una and would definitely book with her again.”

About: Hi there, my name is Jordynn. Proud dog mom to 4 pups. From as early I can remember animals have been a big part of my life and that’s why I’m the friend everyone calls when they need someone to watch their pets. I’m new to Rover. It wasn’t until a recent trip of mine where our sitter canceled last minute that I signed up for and used this service. That Rover sitter was a life savor and I knew I wanted to be that life savor for other people. I’ve taken care of a wide array of breeds from frenchies to pitbulls of all ages. I have 3+ years experience with misunderstood dogs such as trauma survivors or dogs labeled “aggressive”. I pride myself on providing every animal a loving and safe experience where they can be themselves and feel as relaxed as possible while their owners are away. I know how stressful it can be leaving your baby in the hands of someone else and I assure you I will help relieve you of all of that stress. Photos and communication are my speciality. Looking forward to meeting you and your furbabies 🐶🐱 I currently work as an independent contractor for videography so i have a very flexible schedule but making sure pets in my care get all the potty breaks and attention they need comes first. I will diligently follow any guidelines provided to me from the customer and treat any home or furbaby with the same high level of respect I treat my own home and furbabies with.
“I'm a repeat customer of Tyler. He does a great job of house sitting for my dog. He genuinely cares and I feel comfortable leaving my dog in his care. I have extensive instructions which he follows easily. He sends picture and video updates throughout the stay which puts me at ease. He is a really great pet sitter that I 100% recommend and will for sure be using him again in the future.”
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is my hands-on experience with dogs and my love for understanding their unique personalities. I’ve trained my dog, Mars, from a wild little puppy into a confident, well-behaved dog who can handle off-leash adventures and listen to commands. It took patience, consistency, and a lot of love, but the bond we built along the way made it so worth it. I’ve also worked with dogs who needed extra attention, like my neighbor’s German Shepherd, Teddy. He was a ball of energy with no leash manners, but over six weeks, I worked with him daily on leash training and socialization. Seeing him transform into a calm, happy walking buddy for his owner was such a rewarding experience. I genuinely care about making dogs feel safe, happy, and loved. Whether it’s playing with puppies, keeping an eye on senior dogs, or just making sure each dog gets the attention they deserve, I bring patience, energy, and care to every dog I meet. Taking care of them isn’t just something I do—it’s something I love. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine and I have a flexible schedule. I’m available Monday through Friday starting at 9 AM to spend quality time with your pups, whether it’s playtime, walks, or general care. While I’m unable to board pets, I’m more than happy to stay overnight and provide attentive care in their familiar home environment. I am also available during the weekends as needed. Caring for pets, whether in my home or my client’s, is something I approach with a lot of love and enthusiasm. At my home, I make sure pets have a cozy, safe space where they feel comfortable and cared for. Freshwater, healthy meals, and plenty of playtime are always part of the routine. I know how important it is to keep their minds sharp and their tails wagging, so I add puzzle toys, games, and outdoor adventures to keep them happy and engaged. I love getting out and exploring with dogs—whether it’s walking the Katy Trail, visiting Mutts, or checking out dog parks around Dallas. These outings are great for burning off energy, socializing, and giving them the mental stimulation they need to thrive. Every dog has their own personality, so I make it a point to tailor each experience to what suits them best, whether they’re a high-energy adventurer or a laid-back companion. In my clients’ homes, I focus on keeping their pets comfortable by sticking to their usual routines. I follow feeding schedules, stick to walking routes they’re used to, and make sure they feel safe and loved while their owner is away. I always keep owners in the loop with updates and pictures, so they know their pets are in good hands. Whether we’re at home or out exploring the city, I’m all about making sure pets are happy, healthy, and having fun. Ultimately, I want every dog I care for to feel loved and their owners to feel at ease knowing their furry friend is in great hands.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Cockrell Hill
Lauren was amazing with my Minnie! I can’t thank her enough; I genuinely had peace of mind leaving them together. Lauren followed her schedule and all instructions, sent me daily updates, kept my place clean, and I came home to a very happy pup. She will be my first call whenever I need to go out of town.
Madison was wonderful with our dog, Caili. Caili is older and required more attention, including medication timing. Madison sent many wonderful pictures and frequent feedback. We definitely knew Caili was well cared for. I would rebook and recommend Madison without hesitation.
Highly highly recommend. I have used a number of sitters and walkers over the year, all excellent, but Henry was exceptional. He took fabulous care of Luna and really seemed to “get” her personality. I felt at ease and happy with her being in his care and absolutely recommend him to others. 10/10 for professionalism tact and speaking dog-eaze!
Fernanda was absolutely amazing with our blind dog, Callie! I truly cannot say enough good things about her. We felt completely at ease, and throughout the stay she kept us updated with constant photos, messages, and detailed updates. It was so clear that Callie was happy, loved, and incredibly well cared for! We will be booking Fernanda again in a heartbeat! If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, caring and communicative, look no further. Thank you, Fernanda!
Alexandra (aka Kai) is AMAZING!!!! She stayed in our home for the week and took great care of our dog while we were away! She sent us lots of updates and pictures throughout the day which we loved and we could tell our dog really enjoyed his time with her! We were able to enjoy our vacation completely stress free knowing our dog and home were in such great hands! :)
Ronald was wonderful! He took excellent care of our home and our two large dogs while we were away. Ronald is very conscientious - he showed keen attention to detail and did everything that we asked him to do. He's not only a great house sitter, but he's a good person with a big heart. We would definitely hire Ronald again.
Karin & Alberto were great. They were very friendly, communicative and attentive. They sent us a lot of pics. It was almost like we never left. They spent considerable time with our furry babies. We are already working on our calendar to book them for more care and coverage.

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 Cockrell Hill 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 Cockrell Hill 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 Cockrell Hill 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.
