About: I have lived and been around dogs my entire life. I have experience around puppies as well as caring for senior dogs. I have had a couple dogs that are anxious so I understand how difficult it can be to find someone and trust someone to watch your pets while on vacation. I work full time 40 hours/week. I do not work on Saturdays or Sundays. I work until 7pm on Monday and Thursdays, but I only work till 3-4pm on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday. If you have any specific questions in regard to this please let me know. I am able to crate dogs and I have a good understanding of dog behaviors.
About: I am a fourth-year medical student at UT Southwestern, preparing to graduate and begin residency. Over the past 2–3 years, I have gained hands-on experience caring for dogs, primarily helping my roommates by looking after their pets while they are away. My responsibilities have included feeding, walking, providing companionship, and making sure their dogs feel comfortable and well cared for. As a medical student, I understand the importance of responsibility, attention to detail, and clear communication. I take these qualities seriously and bring the same level of dedication to caring for pets. I know how important it is to trust someone with a member of your family, so I prioritize following instructions, maintaining routines, and providing regular updates to give owners peace of mind. Whether it’s taking your dog on a walk, keeping them company, or caring for them while you’re away, my goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and positive experience for both you and your pet! As a fourth-year medical student approaching graduation, I currently have a very flexible schedule with plenty of free time throughout the week, including weekdays and weekends. With a lighter academic workload during my final year, I am looking to make the most of my free time by pursuing pet sitting as both an enjoyable hobby and an opportunity to earn some extra income. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and would love to use this flexibility to help pet owners who need someone reliable and caring. I am available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I am happy to work around your pet’s routine and specific needs! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities! I currently live in a condo that provides a comfortable, clean, and safe indoor environment where your fur baby will be welcomed and cared for. Our community also has a gated dog yard where dogs can safely play, exercise, and take care of their business under my supervision. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and specific needs, so I make it a priority to follow each owner’s instructions closely, whether that involves feeding schedules, walks, medications, or other preferences. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I am equally committed to respecting their space and maintaining their pet’s normal routine. As a fourth-year medical student, I value responsibility, attention to detail, and clear communication. I am always happy to provide regular updates and pictures so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is safe, comfortable, and receiving plenty of love and attention while you’re away!
About: I am a 30 year old radiology technologist I am off most weekends and some weekdays. Often I can have 4 off days in a row but since I do work 12 hours, I can't give my own puppy the love it deserves. Doing dog-sitting for fun :) I had a dog all my life growing up but haven't been able to get one since I sometimes work long hours. I live on the border of Grand Prairie and Dallas, by Trinity Groves. I am offering dog walking, dog boarding and drop ins. I have specialized experience in senior dogs, dogs needing wound care, and topical/oral medication administration. I will provide meals and walks, just let me know any special needs or diets your dog has. As of 1/8/2021, I am COVID-19 vaccinated! I currently working in healthcare full time and have weekends off, some days I am not needed due to census so I have weekdays off as well! If your dog has temperature sensitivities, cannot be around other dogs, or is reactive and needs a quiet environment, I’m your girl! The advantage of booking a private sitter vs doggy daycare at chain stores is that 1 on 1 care can be provided for animals with high anxiety
About: Together, we have over ten years of experience in caring for dogs of all ages. Our family includes two furry pups, one that we welcomed as a 6 week old puppy and another that we adopted as an adult. As a remote, work from home couple, we have the convenience to offer your fur baby with all the attention, walks, and care they need. Rest assured that we will provide exceptional care for your baby while you're not around. Near my apartment complex, there are several dog parks and a pet-friendly apartment complex. Our two friendly dogs enjoy playing and running around with other dogs.

About: I have a love for for animals! Grew up with cats and dogs back home. Would love to have the opportunity to spend my free time caring and loving a furry buddy. I have a full-time job, so I am available for the evenings. I have all day availability for Saturdays and Mondays. I am more than open to discussing my availability with you. Our family dog is crate trained, understands not to be on the couch unless there is a blanket, and walks well outdoor. I make sure to walk him early and late evenings so his feet don't hurt during the warmer months.
About: Hello my name is Blake and I am a veterinary student starting veterinary school in 2027. I grew up with veterinarians as parents and took care of a wide range of animals and I am comfortable administering medication. I have 2 dogs and 2 cats and love caring for them and will treat your pets just like my family! I also have pet reptiles and fish and have experience with many species of small mammals and birds if you have any exotic pets that also need care. I am happy to play with your dogs and cats, go for walks, do home visits, feed your pets, administer medication, clean litter boxes, and whatever else you may need. I have a more flexible schedule until I start veterinary school and can be available most days. If you need pet care at odd times I can probably fit you into my schedule. I have a fenced yard at my house and have a friendly golden retriever, Trinity. If I board your dog they will have a friend to hang out with while you’re gone and will be in safe hands!
“Celeste was super understanding and caring with Loki! Giving plenty of details regarding his status and wellbeing it was definitely appreciated during this holiday time!”

“Rory did an amazing job watching both my cats while I was out of town. She provides great updates and pictures every day. I have never left my cats in the hands of strangers before so I was a bit nervous, but Rory was excellent and I will be booking her in the future!”

About: Hi, I’m Nevin! 🐾 As a proud dog dad to my Great Dane/Lab mix, Bane, I know firsthand that pets are family. I’ve spent my entire life caring for both dogs and cats, and I genuinely love getting to know each animal’s unique personality. Whether your pet loves relaxing on the couch, playing fetch, going on long walks, or burning off energy with a run, I’m happy to match their pace. As an athlete, I have plenty of energy for the pups who need a little extra exercise! I currently live in an apartment, so I offer limited boarding and daycare spots to make sure every pet gets the attention and care they deserve. If you reach out in advance, I’m available most days of the week and will do my best to accommodate your schedule. My goal is simple: to treat your furry family members with the same love, patience, and care that I give my own. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! I’m pretty free through out the day and I’m really an early bird! Most mornings I’m up around 5am walking my pup and would be available anytime after to walk yours too! I stay in an apartment so bane roams freely and comfortably. There’s a dog bed, chew toys, and also a two part cage for bane and another animal if needed.
“My boys might have a new best friend 😭 Rachel was so accommodating and kept my pups company while I was stuck at work! She made sure they were taken care of, she played with them, and sent me lots of pictures! Will definitely be booking again!”

About: Dog lover with 15+ years of experience. Pet sitting/dog walking is my full time career which means I am readily available to care for your pet. I also keep multiple dogs at a time. We are all family by the time they leave me :) Offering dog walking services. Open to all breeds, all sizes and ages. I am able to administer medication. I am very detail oriented therefore any special requests will always be fulfilled. I also have a pet who is a four year old Dachshund and I recently took in a 1 year mini Golden doodle Ricky, they are both very chill dogs. Looking forward to caring for your dog soon! I dog sit full time in Downtown Dallas, which allows me to easily care for your pet. I’m available for walks three times a day, as well as feedings. There are three dog parks in the downtown area where your pet will be walked daily. If you have a preferred walking route, just let me know, and I’ll gladly accommodate. We can also discuss additional walks if needed. I will come to your home to walk and care for your pet three times a day. I am also readily available for check-ins in case of emergencies. You can expect frequent updates with videos and pictures of your pet.
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover who has been raised alongside dogs and cats since day one. Animals aren’t just pets to me, they’re family, and I treat every furry friend in my care with the utmost love, dignity, and respect. As a passionate animal advocate, I know how important it is to have complete peace of mind when you’re away from your pets. I have extensive experience with both seniors and younger pets. I previously cared for my dog, who lived to a happy and healthy 15, as well as my senior cat who reached 19. Today, I’m a proud mom to my two wonderful 3-year old kitties. Whether your pet needs gentle senior care, active play, or just plenty of affection and dynamic attention while you’re out, I’ll care for them with the exact same high standard of devotion I give my own. I look forward to meeting you and your companions! I’m currently on sabbatical from work so I have lots of free time. In addition to spending time with my own for babies, I have a flexible schedule to check in on yours as well! Being someone who is very private about their own home and space, I have the utmost respect for other people‘s homes and their space. I also recognize that pets have their own specific routines, and it’s very important to follow those routines to keep them feeling comfortable, safe, and happy while you are away!
“Joelle did a wonderful job checking in on my cats over the holiday! She was timely, reliable, and kept in good communication throughout her visits. I felt reassured knowing my cats were in good hands - I’d happily book with her again!”
About: I always helped caring for my childhood dog while growing up and loved taking her for walks after school. Now I have my own dog and still love doing all the same things. I will always happily take your dog for walks, play fetch, and generally participate in anything necessary. I work a shift work schedule where I am on shift for 7 days and then completely off for 7 days. During my 7 off days I can give 100% attention to your pet as I have no other responsibilities I provide attentive care and am willing to do whatever your dog wants. I have a dog park at my apartment complex where dogs can run around, or play fetch, and generally get their energy out.
About: I have been a pet owner my entire life and have had my own dog for the past ten years. I have experience with many types of dogs and understand that each pup has special needs and requires attention and care. I (and my dog) treat any guests as family, since we know how much they mean to you. I am currently not working so have plenty of time to care for your pets! I of course make time to walk my own pup, but am otherwise free to play with yours. I am also happy to bring my dog along on walks if your pet would like a friend. I am a former attorney so appreciate rules and structure. While I allow freedom in my own home as to furniture, I would absolutely respect any rules you have in that regard, as well as any crate training. I have experience caring for multiple pets at a time and understand and can work with their dynamics, no matter the situation.
About: Welcome to my profile! I am new to the app (June ‘25), but I have 5+ years of experience taking care of dogs, especially those with anxiety and/or triggers that require extra attention! I will make sure that your dog is safe with me. As a teacher, I deal with chaos on a daily basis. So whether your dog is shy, timid, or full of energy, I’ve got it covered. Because of my two big fur babies, I am an expert in understanding a dog’s body language, especially when they are uncomfortable or stressed. Because of their upbringing, my dogs are the type to bark or pull whenever they see other dogs on walks - this has made me an exceptional dog walker when it comes to avoiding their triggers, ensuring the smooth, calming walk for everyone involved! My schedule on the app will reflect when I am available! During the summer, I am available almost instantaneously. I’m not a morning person; however, I will be if you book me for an early session! I am only able to assist with dog walking / sitting / pet care while you are away as I have my own dogs at home. I will make sure to send updates and pictures to ease any anxiety you may have over leaving your dogs alone. I base it off how I’d want to be treated as a customer when leaving my dogs to the care of someone else - with open, constant communication and lots of pictures (unless that is not necessary, which is totally ok!).
About: I’ve had pets ever since I was a child. When I say “pets” I mean it, I’ve owned and cared for a wide spectrum, filled with cats, dogs, hamsters, fish and horses. To be completely transparent, I lost my Cane Corso late January 23’ to cancer 😫😭. I am not 100% ready to commit to getting another extra-large fur baby but I already miss having one around my house. Stoked to step into the cool “auntie” to your furry loved one(s). I truly enjoy caring for animals and would love the opportunity to share my heart with theirs even if just for a passing moment. Would love to walk your pups which hey gives me some more extra steps in my day or drop in and feed and love on either cats or dogs, hamsters, snakes. ALL ANIMALS LIVES MATTER! TRUST ME…YOUR BABY(IES) GONNA LOOOOOVE ME! I currently work from home almost daily so I can attend to basically your pets every need. I go on multiple walks during day myself so having some company is always best and motivating for me or I can take to park in my neighborhood that is dog friendly. If I have free time I can hop over to a true dog park if that’s cool with you too. If I am watching your kiki I can definitely give them as much space and/or attention, “spattention” as I like to define it, as per their want 😂 I live in an apartment but it’s in a very walkable part of town. I am ready to shower your fur babies with TLC. I am right down the street from White Rock Lake and can take your pups to the park if they so desire!
About: I’ve had dogs since I was very young both big and small. My oldest dog passed at 16 years old so I have experience with senior pets. Calm and energetic, young and old, big and small I’ve done it all! I have a full time job but 3 days off a week (Sunday, Monday, Tuesday). I can come yours or they can come to mine. I do live in a pet friendly apartment which offers a dog park for your fur baby to run and play. I currently have no pets as my sole pup recently passed tragically so pets needing solo care (no other animals) is no issue. I have a large and smaller crate is that is something needed as well as food, treats, brushes, and shampoos for bathing.
About: I’m a dog mom myself to a small, energetic pup who loves interacting with other dogs when we’re out and about. I have a fully fenced, high backyard where your pup can safely play, explore, and relax. I’m available for boarding Thursday through Sunday, as I’m able to be home and give your pets plenty of attention throughout their stay. I’m also available for daily walks, and your pup is welcome to join me and my own dog on our adventures! Your pet will be treated like part of my family. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and as a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to feel confident that your fur baby is in a safe, loving environment. I would love to learn about your pet’s personality, routines, favorite activities, and anything else that helps me make their stay as comfortable as possible. Meet and greets are always welcome! I want to make sure it’s a great fit for everyone, including your pup and mine. I look forward to meeting you! I work full time in office during the day, but I am remote on Fridays. Boarding on the weekends is great as I can be home with your furry friends I have a fully high fenced yard for your pet to lounge or play in. I do not leave pets unsupervised while I am at home with them.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Dallas
Jeannine was amazing! She took such wonderful care of my fur babies while I was away and gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. She was incredibly sweet, attentive and communicative throughout the entire stay. Will be booking her again!

Courtney was fantastic to work with! Our dog is nervous and tends to be very slow to warm up to new people but Courtney gave him great reassurance and he did great. Courtney is excellent at communicating updates and accommodating to requests specific for each dog. I would definitely work with Courtney again

One liner: Book Kelsey, she’s amazing. We needed last minute petcare for someone to drop-in for 3 days and with only a day’s notice, she responded within minutes (and sometimes just seconds) to confirm details and commit to the work. She looked after my senior cocker spaniel and middle aged terrier with such care - the dogs appeared as happy with her as they are when they are with family. Updates were always prompt with great photos and detail. All-in-all, Kelsey is a reliable petcare provider and we will certainly be going back to her services for any future help needed!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Michael is always reliable and punctual! Our corgi can be particular and a bit difficult to handle, but he does so well with Michael which gives us peace of mind. We always feel comfortable having Michael in our home and know Louie is in good hands. So happy to have found someone we can trust! Thank you Michael!

Blake was really reliable, and took great care of my pet! He checked in on time, sent lots of updates and pictures, and was also available to help at short notice when my flight got delayed. My bunny had major surgery this year so I am always nervous to leave him, but I knew he was in good hands! Highly recommend - thank you, Blake!

We’ve had great experiences with Francisco! Over the past few months, he has done drop-in visits for both our 6-year-old dog and our puppy, who was too young to board when we first started using him. He’s very responsive, flexible when we’ve needed him to come earlier, and always takes great pictures. Both dogs seem to really love spending time with him, and we appreciate knowing they’re in good hands. I highly recommend Francisco!

We had such a great experience with Cassie! She was kind enough to meet Archie beforehand, which made me feel so much more comfortable leaving him in her care. She is always quick to respond, very accommodating with schedule changes, and so easy to communicate with. This was our first time leaving Archie crated for most of the day, and she made the whole experience so much less stressful. Archie did great, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was being well taken care of. We’re so happy to have found her and look forward to using her again!

This is the third time Hunter sits our dogs. He is the best sitter. He is kind, polite and very responsive. Our flights were a mess on this trip and he made sure we were covered and our dogs were taken care of. He just gave us the peace of mind we greatly needed. We could not recommend Hunter enough!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Dallas is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $33 per visit. 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 8,393 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Dallas. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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!
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.
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.
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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Dallas with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Dallas. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
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.
