“We are new to Rover but Christy helped us feel secure in our new venture. She paid close attention to everything I shared with her and asked good questions, and she clearly loves dogs. She sent us lot of pictures while we were gone so we were confident everything was going well. Thanks Christy for helping us enjoy our weekend away.”
“It was a pleasure having Deborah sit with our 14 year old pup Dexter. Deborah quickly responded to our initial inquiry and met with Dex and I shortly afterwards. She communicated the day before her scheduled sit and arrived promptly at an agreed upon time. She asked all the appropriate questions about feeding, Dexter's daily routine, and what she could do to keep him comfortable during our absence. Deborah communicated during her sit to let us know that all was well. We returned to a happy dog and a tidy house. Would recommend Deborah and we will be using her services again.”
“Absolutely amazing she took such great fantastic care of Macy !!! Definitely a 5 star ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ plus sitter Recommend her highly !!! NOW however...my experience using "Rover" itself was extremely disappointing and dissatisfying!!!! Trying to communicate with your company was beyond difficult!!! Besides your cancelling my reservation.. without my authorization..every time I tried to contact you all I got was the run around from very unprofessional people. Who refused to answer any of my questions or concerns. Were rude and uninformed as to how to help me. I will NEVER use your company again!!! And certainly will not recommend anyone else use you !!!”
“Rachel cared for our two dogs so well. She is calm and reassuring to the dogs and so careful about all the details of their care. They were perfectly content and cheerful when we returned home!”
“Natalya was very friendly, communicative, and took good care of the pets and house. I really appreciated her picture updates, and she even took my dog on an extra trip to the park! Would definitely re-book”
“As always, Elizabeth was great. Very responsive, attentive to our needy pup, and even washed the sheets so they were clean when we got home. Cannot recommend highly enough!”
“It was awesome meeting Leanna, and I felt totally at ease leaving my pup in her care over Labor Day weekend. If I could give 6 stars, I would. Super professional, super responsive—any time I reached out, she got back to me within minutes, which really gave me peace of mind. This was my first time using Rover, and thanks to Leanna, it was a great experience. I’d happily recommend her to friends and family. 10/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Aoife watched our anxiety ridden nervous mess of a mini dachshund and our home for five days while we had to go out of state. It was our first experience with her house sitting, so we were a little nervous, but the interview with her made me feel so comfortable that I had to book her. Aoife went above and beyond for our pup, and kept our house in meticulous shape. Biz is pretty particular, and also doesn't like to walk unless the whole family is there, so she actually carried him around the neighborhood and had him walk back home! He went on so many little adventures with her and she sent a ton of updates, making us feel that he was well taken care of. She even left stickers for my daughter! I can honestly say that this is the first time I feel Biz has ever been depressed about a dog sitter leaving and not being here the next day when he woke up to his own family! I would absolutely recommend Aoife for your animal companion and your home.”
About: I would love to take your dog for a walk when you can’t, feed it when you’re out of town and even stay with it if it has anxiety while you’re out of town on a business trip or on vacation. I work during the day so I would love to take care of your dog before and or after depending on what is requested. I work 11 - 7 Friday through Tuesday. I like to go on walks during my free time and a companion would make it that much more fun and enjoyable! I am saving up to travel the world and getting the chance to look after you dog one way or another would benefit me in more ways than you know. Thank you for taking the time to consider me a viable sitter. Have a great day! I work at a restaurant downtown so it’s no problem for me to look after your pet. I can also stay at your place if you’re comfortable with that to make your animals life a little better while you’re away. I am comfortable with quick visits to feed your dogs, take them on walks and even cuddle them to make them feel safer. I can give them treats and play fetch to gain their trust!
About: I've taken care of all kinds of pets. For over twenty years, friends, families, business associates and everybody's been happy and i'm even animal cpr trained I am currently not working. Uh, so I have lots of time to spend with your pets playing with them. I have six acres, and i'm always outside with the dog, so never outside alone. I have a partially fenced yard. I have 6 acres, and I have trails through the property. But I never let the dogs go out by themselves. I always walk them through my property at least four times a day.
“Riley was an excellent dog sitter! She was very communicative, always on time, honest, and followed all instructions exactly as given. She was reliable, professional, and great to deal with from start to finish. We felt confident knowing our dog was in good hands. We would absolutely recommend Riley to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dependable pet sitter, and we would definitely use her again!”
“Justin did an excellent job with our dog Marley he stayed in our home for nearly a week. When we returned everything was as we left it He took the garbage out and fed the fish which was a real plus for us. We received daily photos of our dog enjoying himself which made our trip more enjoyable My wife Patti and I would not hesitate in rehiring Justin and we recommend him to anyone in need of someone to stand by when you can't be there yourself”
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover and currently have three dogs of my own—a 10-year-old Husky, a 4-year-old Malamute, and a 5-year-old Golden Retriever. Caring for three large dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs has given me plenty of hands-on experience with walking, exercise, feeding, routines, and lots of attention. I’m especially comfortable handling larger, energetic breeds and understand that every dog has their own personality and pace. Whether your dog loves a long walk or just needs some fresh air and companionship, I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I give my own. I currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time to caring for your pets. I’m available throughout the week for walks and drop-in visits, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. Since I care for three dogs of my own every day, pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I’m also happy to work with your dog’s normal schedule whenever possible. I’m a stay-at-home dad, proud dog dad to three wonderful dogs, and a lifelong animal lover! My Husky, Malamute, and Golden Retriever are a huge part of my family, and caring for them has taught me just how much love, patience, and attention every dog deserves. Being a stay-at-home dad has given me the opportunity to spend more time doing what I love, and I’m excited to make Rover a part of my everyday life. I genuinely enjoy being around dogs, getting outside for walks, and making sure every pup feels happy, comfortable, and cared for. With three large dogs of my own, I’m very comfortable handling dogs of all sizes, especially strong, energetic breeds. I also understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’ll always take the time to get to know your dog, follow your instructions, and make their safety and comfort my top priorities. I know how important it is to trust someone with a member of your family. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your dog is being treated with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family member!
“Amazing! She took care of my babies like her own and kept my home. Ana kept great communication and kept me updated throughout my trip. Sent me photos of the kitties and spend some quality time with them outside. Followed all my instructions and provided medication for one of my kitties.”
“Erica was so great to work with. She was super flexible to pick Elote up from our wedding location and took amazing care of her. 10/10 recommend her for anyone in looking for pet care. Thank you!!!”
“It was the first time leaving our dogs with a Rover and Shannon made us feel super at ease. We especially appreciated her patience with our youngest pup who is very suspicious of strangers. She was communicative and made sure our dogs were comfortable. We will definitely be using her again and highly recommend her!”
About: I live in Salem but drive up to Portland several times a week. So If you live in the Portland or Salem area or anywhere in between, I am happy to help you with your pet sitting needs. I grew up with cats, dogs, and chickens. My earliest pet care was at the age of 10 taking care of my neighbors dogs and cats while they were gone. In my adult life, I've had one cat and 4 dogs. My current dog is a Standard Poodle named Percy. He's a huge love! I know your pets are your heart, too. I strive to give your pets my best love and care while you're gone, just like I would want someone to give Percy! I currently work from home, so I can pop in or stay over easily. I would hope that your pet is able to walk with Percy, because he would hate to be left out of the fun. Each pet is unique and will be respected. Grouchy kitty under the bed?? I’ll say hello extra sweet and then leave them be. Tigger-like active puppy? Let’s throw some balls in the yard! The pet that thinks my lap is theirs? Good snuggles and lots of sweet talk, for sure! Let’s chat and see what your pet needs.
About: I've spent years helping care for many animals. As a child I helped care for our family dog until we got another, then another, then another. By the time I was a teen I was helping my family out on our property to care for our three dogs, our many cats, our chickens, ducks, goats and Llama. I also had neighbors whose home I would frequently visit to help feed and care for their goats. I believe in animal rights. When I am working for you, I am not only here to make money but to apply my knowledge and the knowledge you share with me to serve the well being and needs of your furry friend. I will always stay focused and attentive on showing your pet the love, attention and respect that they deserve :) At the moment I make money through gigs and seasonal jobs. I love to live every day and every week doing something new with as much freedom as I can afford. My schedule is very open giving me lots of time for weekend and weekday bookings. I can do anything asked of me. If I haven't done something before it will not be difficult for me to learn if instructed. I love animals. I love working with them, caring for them and helping them and their owners feel comfortable and happy with the services I provide. I can feed them, take them on walks, play with them, let them rest, crate them when asked or necessary, give them meds. Anything you need.

This was my first time leaving my puppy with anyone he didn’t know in my home. My puppy is a barker and not friendly with strangers. Christy handled it well and by the end of the short vacation Rocky and Christy were friends. All went well and I will be using Christy again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Dallas is $44 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $44 and $69 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 604 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:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
