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.

About: Hello! My name is Elise! I've had animals all my life and my love of them has brought me to pet sitting. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages and sizes as well as fish and other small animals. I know how important it is to have your fur baby in good hands while you are away and will make sure they are well taken care of! I work fully remote and I live in the uptown area. If you are close by, I can pop in for walk on my lunch break. I am also available to house sit for any length of time as long as I can work! I have one kitten named Luna. I spoiled her like she is a princess (she even has a thrown). I currently live in an apartment so I do not have a dog and I am not able to dog sit at my home. I do have plenty of experience taking care of dogs. I had a few growing up and still help my parents care for their dogs, Boudreaux and Nola, when I am able to.

About: Pets are family, and I treat them that way. It’s truly an honor to care for and love your pet as if they were my own. I’ve spent a lifetime caring for the pets of friends, family, and neighbors, and I’m thrilled to now offer that same level of care professionally. I’ve completed training in dog obedience, puppy training, and the Canine Good Citizen program, so your pet will be in experienced and capable hands. I’m conveniently located near Love Field Airport, Uptown, and Downtown Dallas, making drop-offs and pick-ups easy and stress-free. At home, I have a sweet and friendly Maltipoo who loves meeting new friends and would be happy to keep your pup company. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or simply making sure your pet feels safe and loved, I’m here to help. I have a flexible schedule which allows me to give your fur baby plenty of attention throughout the day. Whether it’s playtime, cuddle breaks, or simply keeping them company your dog feel at home. They'll get regular walks around the neighborhood, dog parks, exercise, and have lots of fun. Drop-In Visits & Walking: Feed, water, walk around the neighborhood and play with your pet. Send pictures and status upon completion. Check mail and water plants when requested as time permits. For Boarding: Your furry friend will be going out for walks at least twice a day around the neighborhood and run in the local dog park. They will also have access to an outdoor enclosed patio where they can hangout and do their business. Sending pictures and status on a daily basis. Pets 30 Lbs or less are welcome.

About: I’ve taken care and raise two dogs back at home. I have watched neighbors pets since I was young. I have assisted at a kennel by my house during the summers when I would come back from college. I love walking and playing with them and just making them happy. My priority is the animal and their owners conditions are at the top of my list. Safety first. I work a corporate job from 9-5 and get an hour lunch break, which I can take at any time. I am available before work, lunch, after work and on weekends. I live in a protected apartment complex. There is a dog section with grass that’s completely fenced in and with different sections incase they can’t be with other dogs.

About: Hi! I’m Ian, and I’d love the chance to hang out with your pets while you’re away! Whether they love long walks, endless games of fetch, belly rubs, or just having someone to cuddle with, I’m here to make sure they have a great time and feel right at home. Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, and even hedgehogs, so I’m comfortable with all kinds of furry (and spiky!) friends. I currently have a cat named Whiskey, who definitely keeps me on my toes. My parents also have the three dogs I grew up with—Walter, an English Cream Golden Retriever, Moshi, a Pug, and Phoebe, a Golden Retriever. Every visit turns into a reunion full of wagging tails, happy faces, and lots of treats (with permission, of course!). I know every pet has their own personality and routine, and I’ll make sure yours gets the love, attention, exercise, and care they deserve. My goal is simple: keep your pets happy, comfortable, and spoiled with attention while giving you peace of mind. I can’t wait to meet you and your four-legged family members! I work remotely, so I have a pretty flexible schedule. I can easily stop by during my lunch break for walks, potty breaks, or check-ins, and I’m available most weekends too. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine to make sure they get the care and attention they need! I always try to stick to each pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and happy. For my cat, Whiskey, I make sure he has fresh food and water, a clean litter box, and plenty of playtime when he’s feeling active and lots of uninterrupted nap time too! Lol For dogs, I make sure they get bathroom breaks, playtime, walks, fresh water, and lots of attention. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, my goal is to make them feel safe, loved, and well cared for.

About: I have owned pets since I was 8 years old, and rescued my own dog during middle school. I have lived with multiple pets in my house, and have taken care of dogs, cats, birds, and even fish. I currently work from home full time! I have two dogs and a cat that I take care of daily, and am active with each animal based on their daily needs! I trained my service dog on my own, so she is well behaved with other animals! My second dog is currently going through training, but is very friendly with both of my other pets. At home, I have a fenced in patio. I live on the first floor of an apartment complex with a large patio that has turf pads, as well as a dog run right outside my door! I love to go for walks, and can gauge how long it should be based on the size/energy level of the dog!

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!

Carrin was such a doting and diligent dogsitter. I was nervous to venture on Rover but good friends told me Carrin was THE BEST and so I pulled trigger. Even with their glowing recommendation, I was blown away by how attentive and kind she was with my sassy puppy. I loved each thoughtful and peppy report card and accompanying carousel of photos. I have a zillion photos of my dog and Carrin captured newfound angles that accentuated his handsomeness. All a pet parent wants is peace of mind when they leave their precious babies and I felt so secure with Carrin caring for my pupper. I am so grateful to have a trusted dogsitter option for my future travels!! She was also super patient with my newbie fumbling with the Rover app nuances, she is gracious on all fronts!

Michelle was absolutely wonderful! This was her first time watching our two high-strung, antisocial, reactive dogs, and she handled them like a pro. She was incredibly easy to work with, accommodating when our schedule changed, always on time, and extremely communicative. The best part was seeing the photos after her very first visit. It looked like they were already BFFs! That is no small accomplishment with our two. 😂 Knowing they were comfortable, happy, and in such good hands gave us tremendous peace of mind and made our trip that much more enjoyable. We will absolutely use Michelle again and highly recommend her!

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Dallas

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Dallas is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 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 October 2026, there are 8,449 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 .

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.

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 .

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:

  • 88% 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 , 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.
