“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.”
“Diego did an amazing job with my senior dog, Pippa! He was very communicative, provided great care, and was very tidy. Would recommend him and will book with him again!”
“Mario seemed to care about Harley like she were his own dog. I really appreciate how he updated me and sent pics on a daily basis. I will definitely book with him again in the future.”
“Samantha did an incredible job house sitting my two labs! I can tell they were very well cared for and I would highly recommend! Would love to use Samantha again in the future!”
“As always Hunter was amazing. My dogs love him and look forward to seeing him when we go on vacation which makes our time away stress free because we know they are well taken care of and having fun while we are gone.”
“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.”
“Shawndreal was amazing! Kind, attentive, loved on my dogs like they were her own. She was not only a great dog sitter but a wonderful house sitter as well. She kept me informed and sent sweet pictures of the pups the entire time we were away. I would recommend her anytime!!! Also, she is a lovely human being!!!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Jessica did a great job taking care of our dogs & cat. Our cat is epileptic, and she took all of the medication & safety protocols very seriously as we had hoped. Great communication & left our house in great shape. No issues. Would recommend.”
“I immediately noticed qualities in Oleksandra that made me feel comfortable leaving my dog with her while vacationing out of the country. She is honest, mature, and has a passion for animals. She communicated well, both before and during my trip. When I returned home, I could tell my dog had been well loved and taken care of. Oleksandra had also cleaned up quite a bit. I would 100% use her again and recommend her to others.”
“I booked in-home care with Wanqing for the two foster kittens I'm caring for while I was away for 11 days, and I couldn't be happier with my experience. From the very beginning, communication was prompt, clear, and reliable. Before the booking even began, Wanqing took the time to come meet the girls and do a walkthrough of my apartment, which immediately gave me peace of mind. Throughout my trip, she sent thoughtful daily updates along with photos. Since the kittens weren't used to her at first and spent a lot of time hiding, I really appreciated how patient she was. She even took the initiative to research kitten behavior, ask friends for advice, and bring over different toys to help them feel more comfortable. That level of care and dedication meant a lot to me. When I returned home, the girls had grown so much. They were happy, healthy, and noticeably more social. As someone fostering them with the goal of finding them loving forever homes, continuing their socialization while I was away was one of my biggest concerns, and Wanqing did a wonderful job supporting that. What stood out most was that her care didn't end when the booking did. She followed up the next day to make sure I had arrived home safely and that the girls were settling back in well. Overall, I'm so glad I chose Wanqing. She genuinely cares about animals and their well-being, and it shows in everything she does. I would absolutely trust her with my pets again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate, patient, and dependable pet sitter.”
“Briana is everything you want in a dog sitter. She’s on time, reliable, a great communicator, and most importantly took excellent care of our pups. We received updates and pictures which puts your mind at ease when you are away. I’d highly recommend Briana for anyone needing pet care”
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.
“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.”
“Being new to Rover I have never had anyone watch my dog before, but Lanis was referred from a friend who I needed for house sitting last minute. I am so grateful she was available and was able to watch my dog Kobe. She is an amazing sitter, always kept me updated with Kobe and kept the house very clean. He really enjoyed spending time with her- even cried when she left! I would recommend her to anyone and will booking with her in the future!”
“I was very impressed with Alisha. Prior to her stay at my house I had her come over to meet the animals and to show her where everything was. She was very communicative, letting me know when she was on her way, and punctual. My dogs liked her (one can be standoffish at first), which is always a good sign. During her stay she let me know when she arrived at the house, sent me picture updates, and mentioned any concerns she had (one of my dogs has cancer, so I was very appreciative of her keeping me updated about his health). We came home to a tidy house and our animals were healthy and well cared for. Alisha is very trustworthy, and I have no hesitation to recommend her services. I’ll definitely be using her again for future needs.”

Jeanne restored our faith in dog sitters and was the best one we’ve ever had. She took such good care of our dogs and home. She was a strong communicator, sent lots of pictures and updates, walked the dogs daily and we could tell they absolutely LOVED her!! My dogs love routine and she kept a consistent one which I known helped them feel comfortable and used to what we do. I’d rather leave a bad review so she doesn’t get too busy that she’s not available when we need her!! But all jokes aside, BOOK HER. WE ARE SO APPRECIATIVE and she will be our go-to from here on!
Igor and I couldn’t have had a better experience with Shawndreal. She gave me all the reassurance I needed that my little buddy would be in the best possible hands. She was patient with me as I worked with my property manager to arrange access, going out of her way three times to meet me. I couldn’t be more grateful for her patience and commitment to Igor. As for her care of Igor, I think the photos she shared of him snuggling and playing fetch with her say it all. Igor trusted and welcomed her, and that’s probably the best review I could offer. To anyone looking for a sitter for a stigmatized breed, including pits and bullies, I can’t recommend Shawndreal enough. She demonstrated excellent control of Igor and, once again, provided all the reassurance I needed that he would be safe and cared for in any situation.
We hired Dylan for an 11 day stay. We were nervous leaving our dog for so long but we are so glad we were able to book Dylan to stay in our home. We were constantly updated. Dylan let us know when our dog was having digestive issues and went above and beyond in tweaking fridays diet to help. We came home to a spotless home, we have no problem with our home being a little messy as long as our dog is safe. Dylan wouldn’t hear of it. Every inch of our home had been deep cleaned and all the towels and sheets were washed. He also had to deal with a leaky roof which none of us foresaw and handled it with such calm and flexibility. If you are going on a long trip, do not hesitate to leave your pets with him!
Gloria was awesome with my dogs. So attentive and alerted me to anything I needed to know while loving on them like they were her own. She was also so caring for my home while she stayed to watch them which was so unexpected but highly appreciated. I would absolutely use her again!

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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.
