“Our two fur babies love Kory! Kory stayed at our house for a week with our elder Pit and middle aged Pyrenees and we had a wonderful experience. Kory shared pictures with us and exactly the right amount up updated. I highly recommend Kory for your pet needs, and so do Joya and Bricks!”
About: Currently available for Labor Day weekend Sept. 4–7! I’m available for last-minute bookings and would love to take care of your dog while you’re away. With 9 years of hands-on experience, My love for dogs started young, I've been a devoted caregiver to my own pack of three, including my sweet Shih Tzu and two big Labs. I've also enjoyed dog-sitting for neighbors. I'm comfortable with all breeds and temperaments. I'm ready to give your dog the best care. Always willing to give care to any animal. The weekends will always work out! Also afternoons and evenings. Need mornings? I can always figure out a way to make time to see your pet. I have a fenced yard where my very calm dogs stay all day long. But I also have a big house area downstairs where the dogs are welcomed as well. Where ever they like it more
“Nora was fantastic with our Great Dane puppy, Apollo! She was very responsive, kept us up to date every day, and had no issues administering Apollo's pills 2x/day. She also left the house just as we left it and washed the sheets before she left. This was mine and my husband's first weekend away in a long time where we didn't feel stressed leaving our dog with a sitter. We would definitely recommend Nora to anyone looking for a stress free getaway and plan to use her services again!”
About: I am currently going to school to become a veterinarian, which has given me a strong foundation in animal health and behavior. I have been trusted by friends, family, neighbors, and mutual connections to care for their animals since I was young. In addition, I have pet-sat for many furry friends and worked in veterinary clinics for the past two years, gaining hands-on experience caring for puppies/kittens and senior pets. I am currently working full time at a veterinary clinic, but I have breaks throughout the day and a flexible schedule. This allows me to make pet care a priority, with plenty of time for visits, play, feeding, and attentive care throughout the day. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home. I currently have a dog who is crate trained when I am not present, helping maintain a calm and safe environment. I carefully follow each pet’s routine and any specific instructions or precautions provided by the owner. I treat every animal as if they were my own, providing plenty of love, patience, and attentive care. I also take time to build trust with both pets and their owners and communicate regularly with updates and photos, so you always feel confident while your pet is in my care.
“Michael was the perfect pet and house sitter for my weeklong trip out of the country. Lots of communication and he treated my two dogs and my house as his own. They liked him from their very first meeting and I could tell from the many pics and videos he sent that they were in good hands. Will definitely use him again.”
“Luna had a great time with Sara! Sara is a good communicator and sent lots of updates so I never had to worry how my girl was doing while out of town. She followed all instructions and we came back to a happy, content pup! I’d definitely use Sara again in the future.”
“Rachel was amazing! She’s super sweet and took such great care of our dogs and our home. My dogs felt extremely comfortable with her, which means a lot to us. She went above and beyond, she even cleaned up the room she stayed in, washed the sheets, and made the bed before leaving, which she definitely didn’t have to do. That really shows how much she cares and goes the extra mile to do things right. We absolutely love her and will definitely be using her again in the future!”

“We can’t say enough great things about Emma! She stayed at our home for a full week and took wonderful care of our four animals. From the very beginning she was professional, kind, and attentive. She kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. When we came home, our pets were happy and relaxed, and the house was clean. It was clear she gave them lots of love and attention, not just the basics. Managing four animals is no small task, but she handled everything with ease and genuine care. We highly recommend Emma to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and truly caring sitter. We would absolutely book her again without hesitation!”
About: My love for pets is unmatched! I have had pets all my life growing up! I am here to help you in your time of need!!

I am open to the idea, and would consider certain situations/ instances. Let’s chat and see what we could work out!
“I would highly recommend Rose! She was available for a last minute booking to sit our two dogs and stay at our home. She was quick to respond and communicate throughout the entire process. She came and did a meet and greet beforehand to ensure the dogs were comfortable with her. I have a very large cane Corso and she did great with him! She communicated and provided updates throughout the stay and left our home clean and tidey. I would absolutely recommend Rose and will book her again in the future.”
“Rebekah and her daughter took good care of our dogs while we were away from home. They sent daily pictures and updates, which I appreciated. The house was well cared for also. My dogs have allergies and, therefore, challenging feeding routines, but Rebekah followed the instructions faithfully. She walked the dogs as well. I’d be very happy to have her take care of our home and dogs again. She even did the dishes and washed all the bedding for us!”
“Adahy is wonderful! He sends frequent updates so you always know what’s going on with your dog. He even stayed late when he knew our flight was delayed so our dog wouldn’t be alone.”
About: I had my first pet dog at 11 years old. I have cared for other dogs such as my neighbors dog feeding, giving them water and showing them love! I believe walking dogs is a privilege especially for me because it will help me get out more! I work full time but I work from home! So feel at ease knowing your pet will have my attention and won’t be left home alone. I am very flexible and can even take your pets out during the weekends to a park etc I have a fenced backyard. I can go on daily walks and runs, I also have a park near my home where I can take them to play outdoors.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 3,542 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Dallas. 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 Dallas 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 Dallas 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 Dallas 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 , 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 .
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 .
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.
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.
