“Alisha was great. Cooperative, communication on point, punctual, followed instructions, sent me pictures. I definitely recommend her and would take her help next time.”
“Hunter is great! We booked him for the first time and have nothing but good things to say. Hunter communicates very well, is great with our animals, and was quick to get our dog medical help when he had an issue during our trip. Thanks Hunter!”
“Lisa was amazing with my two German Shepherds. The daily updates were great and the daily pictures had the dogs looking happy. Would 100% recommend and I will use again:”

“Yuliana was amazing! Both the cat and dog loved her, and she sent us plenty of pictures keeping us updated on how they were doing. She took care of our home with zero issues. Will be using her again and recommending to everyone”
About: Experienced in caring for a wide range of pets and providing attentive support for elderly clients. Known for strong attention to detail, patience, and a consistently compassionate approach to every animal’s needs. My schedule is very flexible since I work from home. I’m able to adjust my day around pet care, with only a couple of short breaks to drive my grandfather to his appointments. Otherwise, I’m home and available to give pets consistent attention and care. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I’m always respectful of their space and routines. I’ve taken care of family and friends’ pets for several days at a time, making sure they’re fed on schedule, bathed when needed, and walked with care. I focus on keeping them comfortable, safe, and happy while maintaining the home exactly as I found it.
“Nashi was phenomenal! One of our pups wasn’t feeling well right before we left, and it’s always difficult to leave when something like that is going on. Nashi stepped right in and took excellent care, provided updates, and calmed my worried mind. We absolutely recommend Nashi and will be requesting her care again in the future for our pups, too.”
“Briana was absolutely awesome. She watched our two pups for a week while staying in our home. We received daily updates with pictures and we could tell she was very attentive to our boys. Additionally she was on time, communicative, and our home was in pristine condition upon return. Will 100% request her again. Thank you Briana!”
“My second time to use Mario for house-sitting my Goldendoodle and once again Mario was outstanding. His communication is timely and his diary updates at the end of the day with pics are so helpful and great at putting your worried mind at ease. You can't go wrong with using Mario.”
“Ashley was wonderful with our Luna. Luna is very shy with new people but Ashley was very patient and Luna warmed up to her quickly. Ashley was very communicative and kept us updated on how Luna was doing with lots of pictures. Definitely recommend her and will use her to watch Luna again.”
“Chaka was amazing with my girl! She has a special temperament at times and they seemed to get on just fine without me. As long as she is willing I will have Chaka back time and again.”
“Celeste was amazing and we’d absolutely use her again! We had someone cancel 4 days before our vacation and she was able to step in and even do a meet and greet last minute. Shes a great communicator and we could tell the animals were cared for while we were gone.”
“Averille is simply the best!! I have two dogs (one big and dumb, one small and old) and one cat (the cat). None of them have any manners and all of them are used to me being around almost always. I travel for work more and more now so a dependable person to take care of them and more importantly distract them from my absence makes everything better. Averille fit that need perfectly!! Upon my return my animals were happy and warn out and my house safe and sound. That peace of mind is not something I take for granted. Averille’s friendly, proactive approach was next level! I can’t thank her enough!!”
“Dylan was amazing! He was able to house sit for me on short notice, and took such great care of my house and my dog Scout, I will definitely be using him again. Scout took to him immediately, and was sad to see Dylan go. Highly recommend!”
“Clover was an awesome cat whisperer, once again! When she came to get our key, Finn seemed to remember her-he came right out to greet her when he is often careful of guests. Our shy Raven demanded daily brushings! Clover sent us great pics every day of all 3 kittes and left our house neat and clean. We feel very blessed to have her watching our fur babies.”
“Shawndreal recently house sat for my old, 13 year old dog. She did an amazing job! I needed a last minute house sitter, and Shawndreal exceeded my expectations. She met with my dog and me beforehand, and asked great questions, and I could tell she genuinely cared for my dog's well being. She took great care of my dog while I was away, and followed all of the supplement and medicine guidelines and even sent updates when they were completed. She took my dog on his required walks and sent pictures and updates. Shawndreal left the house just the way I left it, spotless. When I got home, my dog didn't leave her side, I felt a little jealous LOL. She was a great house sitter, and I'm truly thankful for her efforts. Will definitely use again.”

Shania was such a great sitter! I have 2 Maine coon kittens that I was nervous to leave overnight unsupervised. Shania clearly loves cats and knows a lot about taking care of them. She made the whole process super easy and the kitties took to her almost immediately. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!
Loveeeeee the top of the line service! We have 7 babies and finding someone we can trust and actually interact with them rather than leaving them in cages all day was a must! Manny&Rob were AMAZING! Interactions with each pup was definitely made and pups were so in love with them! Will definitely be using them again! Updates and photos were sent which eased the nervousness! Thank you both so much!!!
Matthew was fantastic! He came to our rescue when we were out of town, and our previously scheduled sitter became unreliable and negligible. Matthew made sure our pets were safe and well-taken care of, including our youngest cat who was recovering from a dog attack. Matthew was patient, caring, communicative, prompt with medication, and overall an amazing sitter. We will book him again!
I can not stress Dylan in the BEST! I never worry that my dogs are getting loving care when they are in his hands. Weather pop ins for walks for staying over to house sit, whenever I get back in town they are always happy and calm! My two biggest signs they have been tended too! Will confine to use Dylan, he is my main guy!
Alyssa was fantastic! She came by to meet our dog before her stay, which we really appreciated, and she took excellent care of her while we were away. She was very communicative, responsive, and kept us updated throughout. We felt completely at ease knowing our dog was in such good hands. We would absolutely book with Alyssa again and highly recommend her!

FAQs for House Sitting - Dallas
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Dallas on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 5,257 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
