“Nashi was fantastic with our dog, Frank. Our flight was cancelled last minute and she was able to stay another night which saved us! She sent many photos per day and sent updates about franks care. Nashi was wonderful and we will definitely use her again!”
“I cannot say enough positive things about Lisa. Judging by her profile and favorable reviews, I knew she would be an amazing caretaker for my little girl. And when I first met for a meet and greet, I knew she could not be in better hands than with Lisa! The genuine nest and warmth she exudes is outstanding, and she has a passion for dogs that is perfect for those needing someone to watch their little furry friend. The frequent updates, pictures, and check-in were so much appreciated. My 17-year-old Yorkie has a personality, but she certainly warmed up immediately to Lisa. They even took care of house cleaning while I was out of town! I was lucky to find Lisa and will certainly only use her moving forward when I need someone to take care of my old lady.”
“Aliya (Oleksandra) did an amazing job caring for our dog Maya and two cats over a long weekend, and on short notice, too, after our previous sitter canceled. We found her to be warm and engaging in the meet and greet - her love for animals really shows. She was proactive about sending photos and updates while we were away, and was very responsive over text. When we returned, our fur family seemed happy and well-cared for, and the house was exactly as we'd left it. Aliya is a responsible and caring pet care professional and we would be happy to have her watch our babies for us in the future.”
About: Hi, I'm Marquette! I work from home and welcome one household at a time, with up to two pets from the same family. I don't have pets of my own, so your dog can settle in without sharing their stay with unfamiliar animals. I grew up with dogs, previously had one of my own, and started boarding clients in early 2026. I like learning the little things: where your dog likes to sleep, how they ask to go out, and what helps them feel at home. If they're shy, I'll give them time to warm up. I'll follow their usual routine, including meals and any medication given as instructed. My clients often mention the detailed photos and updates I send. Before your booking, we'll agree on how often you'd like to hear from me and your preferred way to stay in touch. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so meals, potty breaks, walks, and company fit into my day. I also provide walks and drop-in visits, so we'll discuss your pet's routine and any time I'll be away before booking. For boarding, I can usually offer potty breaks every 2-4 hours. For house sitting, we'll agree on overnight care, daytime visits, and how long your pets are comfortable being alone so you know what to expect. I live in an apartment close to Dallas Love Field, with a park right across the street for walks and sniff breaks. There's one enclosed, fenced patio area with no exterior exit. Patio time is supervised, and walks are suited to your dog's needs. Dogs are welcome on the furniture and bed. I host one household at a time and have no resident pets or children. I'll follow your feeding, medication, and care instructions, and we'll talk through any escape habits, separation anxiety, or handling concerns before the stay. I carry pet-care insurance through Pet Sitters Associates for boarding, house sitting, walks, and drop-ins.
“Dylan was absolutely phenomenal!!!! He house sat for our pup and couldn’t have been better! I messaged him a few days before that our dog had been having some tummy issues and he was so gracious and diligent about her medicine while we were gone. We also got tons of photo updates and the apartment was spotless when we returned!!! He even had doggy calming music on for our pup when we arrived home🫶. I could not recommend Dylan more and he will always be my first call going forward! 10000/10”
“The boys were happy during their stay!! They received lots of ❤️, cuddles, and back scratches. Bre provided me with frequent updates and pictures. I will definitely use her services again!!”
“Matthew was amazing! He was prompt, sent updates, and I’m just so happy with how well he took care of my furrbaby. Definitely recommend and I’m glad I found a great sitter for future times.”
“Yuliana did a great job taking care of our cat and dog while we were out of town for the weekend. She sent several photos and was an excellent communicator. I would highly recommend her :-)”
“Madison was lovely! I came home to a clean house and happy pups. She was communicative and sent plenty of (adorable) photos. I would recommend her to anyone looking for house sitting!”
“Can’t say enough how pleased we are with Rory taking care of our pups! Trustworthy, came for pre meeting on taking care of pups and house while gone for several weeks. More stressful for us than her! Sent us pics every day and here when we returned to review the visit. Was relieved to know how well she took care of our dogs and home! 5 Star Service!”
“Morgan was amazing! She sent regular updates and was very attentive to Stevie! We felt so comfortable leaving Stevie with her and could breathe a sigh of relief on vacation knowing that Stevie was in excellent hands. We highly recommend!!!”
About: More than sitter a companionship for your furry friend. Providing feeding, walking medication administration if needed. Ensured pets safety and comfort with regular updates to owners. I’m currently working remotely so I’m at home all day. That’s provide me enough time to take care for your furry friend. They can stay all day with me if the need some companionship I haves a fenced yard they can go outside side if they love to take the sun or play in the grass. I can provide daily feeding and cleaning spaces. To ensure your pets feel comfortable.
About: Animals have always held a special place in my heart, which is why pet sitting is something I genuinely love—not just something I offer. For years, I’ve been the go-to sitter for friends and family, caring for furbabies of all types, personalities, and quirks. I’ve grown skilled at intuitively understanding what each animal needs, whether that’s high energy playtime, gentle cuddles, slow bonding, or simply a calm presence while their humans are away. When your furbaby is with me, they’re treated like family. I honor their routines, keep their world peaceful and fun, and make sure they feel safe & loved. We’ll spend our time doing the things that make them happiest, and I’ll keep you connected with plenty of photos, videos, and sweet updates—so you feel close to them every step of the way. I am self-employed and have a flexible schedule. Pet sitting is a big part of what I do, but there will be days when I'm out of the house for a few hours or longer (on occasion up to 8 hours, but that's not a regular thing) tending to my other work. For the most part, I have ample availability during the week and/or weekends for pet sitting or other pet care...and I will divulge any prior obligations that would pull me away for large chunks of time before we book to make sure you're comfortable with my schedule during the stay. Safety, trust, and comfort are at the core of my care. In your home, I make sure all potentially hazardous items are out of reach and create a calm, secure environment for your pet. I stay attentive and present—checking in regularly so your furry friend is never left unattended for long. On walks, your dog will always be securely leashed, and outings stay within the routes and activities you’re comfortable with. I honor each pet’s boundaries and follow their cues, letting them “tell” me what they want or don’t want during our time together. I also take home security seriously—keeping doors locked, alarms or lights used as instructed—and will treat your home with the same TLC as I would my own. I’m prepared for emergencies and stay calm and level-headed, contacting you and your vet (if needed) to ensure your pet gets prompt attention. If your pet has any special needs or medical considerations, please let me know before booking so I can give them the most thoughtful, personalized care possible.
“Raylon was so good with both of my girls. My 1 yo rottie is definitely a handful at times with her high energy but Raylon was able to keep up. Also good with my cat as well Def rebooking SOON”
“Evelyn took great care of my 2 pups! I appreciated her communication and attention to detail, and bonus points for taking care of my golden while she was sick. I will definitely book with Evelyn again in the future. ♥️”
“I was very hesitant on having someone I didn’t know come into my home and watch my 2 dogs while we were on vacation but decided to give this a try since I’ve heard positive feedback on it. I picked Caley and she immediately responded and came over to meet my dogs and go over everything before we left. During our vacation she kept me informed of how things were going and would send me pictures periodically so I could see how they were doing. She did an excellent job and I think my babies were very happy to have her stay with them. I highly recommend Caley and will definitely use her again in the near future!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Dallas
Celeste was great with our puppy. She made sure he was loved on and well taken care of. She is very knowledgeable and even helped crate train him. He had such a great attitude upon our return so we could tell he wasn't lacking for any attention while we were away. We got videos daily with an update. We are so grateful we found her and will use her the next time we travel. I highly recommend her.
Meng is the best cat sitter! She took such good care of Turkey when I went out of town. She consistently updated me with Turkey pics and when I got back home Turkey was the happiest kitty in the whole world. I will definitely be using Meng again in the future!
Jeannine was absolutely fantastic! We have two dogs with very different personalities and needs, so finding someone we can genuinely trust is important to us. Jeannine was reliable, attentive, and incredibly easy to communicate with throughout the entire experience. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after, and having that peace of mind while we were away meant a lot. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely trust her with our pups again. Highly recommend!
Shawndreal did a great job of keeping in touch with me and sending plenty of updates to let me know my dog EB was having a good time while my husband and I were away visiting our daughter. She was a great guest too - our house was orderly and just the way we left it. She even put some towels that I left in the washer in my haste to get to the airport in the dryer for me and folded everything nicely. Best of all, she asked good questions about our dog’s habits so I knew she was taking great care of our sweet dog. I will absolutely ask her to stay with EB again if she’s available the next time we travel!
Lauren was amazing with my Minnie! I can’t thank her enough; I genuinely had peace of mind leaving them together. Lauren followed her schedule and all instructions, sent me daily updates, kept my place clean, and I came home to a very happy pup. She will be my first call whenever I need to go out of town.
I had a great experience with Rebecca! She stayed overnight with my two dogs for 3 days while I was away at a conference. My pups can be a little rowdy at first, but they quickly warmed up to her and felt comfortable in her care. She did a wonderful job making sure they were well fed, walked, entertained, and given plenty of playtime and cuddles. I especially appreciated the regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. It was reassuring to know they were happy and well taken care of. I would definitely recommend her and would happily book with her again!
Madeline was excellent from start to finish! She did a meet & greet before booking, she picked up & dropped off Rocky, sent multiple pics throughout the day, and even fed him, gave him fresh water, and set out two packs of Farmers Dog to thaw once we got home from our trip. Will definitely book with her again!
Elise watched our two dogs overnight and potty breaks in the day while we were out of town. She did an amazing job at providing updates, communicating how our temperamental dog was eating and took care to follow the notes about our dog who had hip surgery. Home was also left very tidy.
Nashi was great! She made me feel comfortable that my dog was well taken care of. She left my house clean, exactly how I left it for her. Several of my neighbors commented that they saw her taking my dog for long walks. :) She even grabbed my packages in the package room after I asked.
Dylan was fantastic! We felt completely comfortable knowing our dogs were in his care. He was reliable, communicative, attentive, and clearly made an effort to keep them happy and comfortable while we were away. We really appreciated the updates and the peace of mind he gave us. We’d absolutely book with Dylan again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Dallas is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $104 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.

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 , 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 .
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 .
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.
