“Tifaney did a wonderful job. She kept at it when my old baby wouldn't come out of his hiding place until he finally decided she is a 5 star! Great house guest and left things better than before. I will book Tifaney again.”
“Nikki was great! We gave her a tough task of 3 dogs to watch, 1 being a puppy but she took the time to get to know our boys and stuck to the schedule. We got lots of updates and photos which is always appreciated. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone who is looking for a trusted sitter.”
“Alyssa is the best pet and house sitter EVER! Our animals were so well taken care of, they didn’t even seem to miss us! Our house was spotless when we got home (cleaner than we left it!). Sheets were clean and folded, trash taken out, etc. HIGHLY recommend her, as she treats pets and your home like they’re her own. Best ever!”
“Great communication, went about and beyond, showed up early when I miscalculated our departure time and did a great job at keeping in touch to let us know the pups were good. We will use her again!”
About: I've always had a love for all sorts of animals. My favorite animals are dogs & horses. I've had multiple dogs throughout my child/adult life. Being around pet's/other animals makes me very happy; and I cant wait to be welcomed in yours & your pet's life! I am currently working a part-time night shift job so on my off days I am completely free to walk pet's and or pet sit. I currently have no pet's of my own. But if I did I would have a fenced yard that is spacious for my pet to play & enjoy the outdoors. I'd take all the proper steps in owning a pet so the environment would be pet friendly. For my clients I will go by what they want me to do to care for their pet. Along with that I will use my own knowledge for caring for animals.
“Alonna was great! Very responsive, good communication and took really good care of my Great Dane, Ozzy! She left my apartment in perfect condition. Will definitely book again! I highly recommend her.”
“Highly recommend Victory. Our dogs and our home were so well cared for when we left town. She was so attentive, communicative and thoughtful of the needs of our pups and ours from start to finish. You really cannot ask for more. Will 100% work with her again and will be able to enjoy time away, knowing our pups and our home are in amazing hands.”
About: I have adopted many animals since I was 13 years old and they all have been loved and cared for in the best way possible. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and ages, including energetic puppies, cats, rabbits, and some aquatic animals in tanks. I will love every animal like my own and make sure that your furry friend is happy and healthy. I am currently a stay at home mom, so I will have plenty of time to accommodate your pet into my schedule and adapt to your schedule as needed! I have been responsible for training puppies and working with week old kittens, so I can take on any task in your home that is needed. I will always ensure your pet is safe and taken care of the way that you need.
“Bethany was amazing watching our pup while my boyfriend and I were on a 3 day trip. She let me know if something was going on with our dog and always responded. She sent plenty of pictures to us and I could tell our dog loved her. I totally recommend Bethany.”

I’ll do what y’all Prefer me to I’ll follow y’all directions so the animals are happy during y’all are away.
About: Love & caring for animals isn't for just anyone & everyone. It takes dedication, love, knowledge & patience. My Aunt has a farm that I spent most of my summers growing up. So my love for all animals grew even more from dogs & cats to goats, horses, pigs, horses and my favorite, Rabbits! I was dog walking bathing,sitting and just loving them around age 12. Whatever my neighbors,family & friends needed for their furr babies I would be there to love & care for them. I do have some training abilities but no expert. I know how hard it is to leave your babies & I promise to always communicate, video chat with your furr baby whenever you need. Any special requests your pets needs I'll be there for them. ***IMPORTANT**Please Read***Future clients to know ***I also base my fees on miles driven to clients home, large breed dogs etc... So the price can be adjusted if needed ... Other Example.... Overnight stays, walking, bathing etc . For reasons of me having to leave home to run errands, pay bills etc... I do prefer dogs to be crate trained if possible. I have a fenced in yard with 2 dogs... Bella she's half Mastiff/German Shepherd. Bella & Bear are both create trained. Bear is a Pomeranian that belongs to my daughter. 1 cat "Sparky" Tabby that thinks he's King!!! Currently I do my own schedule, and . So my time will hopefully be available when your furr babies need. I do have other side jobs I do. So I can work around most things for care of your furr baby. (Rates can change depending on the mileage.) I have new fenced in backyard. 1 female dog Bella. She is half mastiff/German Shepherd & rescued her as a pup. Then 1 Tabby Cat Sparky who thanks he's the king! Pomeranian named Bear that behind to my daughter.

“We had such a great experience! Jessica took wonderful care of our dogs, Gunnar and Riley, and gave us peace of mind while we were away. She was attentive, caring, and kept us updated throughout the stay. She took great care of our house and we could tell our pups were in great hands. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving sitter. We have already have rebooked her for an upcoming trip!”
About: I’ve always been around animals and grew up with many in my home. I currently own a two four year old German Shepard mixes who are very energetic and love other dogs. They will be a great help to wear your furry friend out and I know they will love to gain a new friend just as much as your pet would. I have raised one of them since she was weeks old and am very experienced with pups of all ages. I have strengthened a lot of training skills since I’ve own her and will love to work with your pet as well and help strengthen their skills along the way. We do have an additional extra large crate with lots of blankets to make your fur baby feel right at home. We also have extra bedrooms and baby gates to provide your fur child with extra space to feel more comfortable in our home. We always recommend to send your pup with their favorite items from home. Both my fiancé and I have lots of experience with caring for senior pups as well as medication. My little family and I are excited and cannot wait to meet you and your furry pal! <3 <3 I’m currently a hairstylist new building up her clientele so I do have a lot of time on my hands to spend with your fur baby. If I’m away from my home it is typically for a few hours during the week, but I do have flexibility with my work so I am able to accommodate you and your pets requests. I have a fenced in yard and an extra crate to provide your fur child with a safe home and atmosphere. My two friendly dogs love to spend time outside. When indoors my pups love to play and have the space to do so, which also allows your pup to feel safe and jump in on the fun. We offer extra toys, blankets and pillows too, but we would love your baby to have a special item from home to remind them of you while you’re away. I promise to send tons of pet selfies and updates of your baby and do not hesitate to reach out with any questions or updates as needed. We know your fur babies will be happy to hear from you.
“Ashley is awesome. We're new to the area and finding someone who cares about animals as much as we do is a relief. We were able to spend the day as a family and know that out dogs where in great care. Ashley went out of her way to come introduce herself even before the scheduled date. She took great care of our house while we were gone and couldn't be more thankful. Thank you Ashely can't wait to use her again soon.”
“Sarah is a wonderful person and did a awesome job house sitting with our two dogs. I highly recommend Sarah and will use her services in the future! Molly and Minnie loved her and seemed very happy to be around Sarah.”
About: I’ve grown up with animals my entire life and have always had a dog. I truly love caring for animals and would be happy to help take care of yours with the same attention and care I give my own. Your pets care is the top priority for me, and I’m committed to being reliable, responsive, and fully present when caring for your pet. I care for every pet based on their individual needs and routine. In a client’s home, I stick closely to their normal schedule, feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions, so pets feel comfortable and secure in their own environment. In my home, I provide a safe, clean, and loving space with plenty of attention, supervision, and time for exercise and affection. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel happy, relaxed, and well cared for.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Dallas
Madelyn did an amazing job looking after our basset hound puppy and our cat Shira. She was very communicative and always sent us photos of our pets which we know enjoyed their time with her. She made us feel a lot better about leaving them for the weekend and made it a lot less stressful. I would highly recommend her to anyone!
Madelyn did an absolute wonderful job house sitting and caring for our dog! Our dog is a rescue and can be quite anxious with new people, but she knew exactly how to make him feel safe, and calm. She also followed all instructions for his medication schedule without any issues. It gave us peace of mind knowing both our home and our dog were in such capable, caring hands.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Dallas is $46 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $41 and $52 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 2,834 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Dallas. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
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.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
