“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.”
“We can’t say enough wonderful things about Lisa! From the moment we left, we felt completely at ease knowing our dogs, bunny, and home were in such caring hands. She went above and beyond—sending daily updates and photos that truly brightened our days and reassured us that everyone was happy and well cared for. Our dogs were clearly loved and pampered, and our bunny got special attention too, which isn’t always easy to find. The house was spotless when we returned, and it was obvious she treated our home with the same care and respect she gave our pets. It’s such a relief to find someone so trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely kind. We would recommend her to anyone without hesitation and can’t wait to book her again for our next trip!”
“Shawndreal was absolutely amazing!! I had a good feeling about her just from her profile. But once we met, I knew I had the perfect person for my dog. She kept up with sending lots of pictures of Riley and let me know when she gave him meds and was fed his meals. I knew from the pictures and text that Riley really enjoyed her also. We came home to a tidy house and a very happy dog. We are already planning our next trip and will for sure be calling Shawndreal ♥️”
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.
“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!”
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.
“Lauren is incredible. We found her last minute and had recently moved to Dallas. She did a fantastic job watching our fur babies and went above and beyond. We came home to happy girls and a clean home. Lauren is prompt and communicative. 10 out of 10 stars.”
“Madison was great. She was reliable and trustworthy. My husband and I agreed that she treated our home with respect and showed extreme care to our old man puppy. We were gone for two days and received photos of their time together. I didn't ask for that but it was much appreciated!! One of many ways Madison showed thoughtfulness while in our home and with our guy. I trust her completely and will have her back again!”
“I cannot recommend Alberto and Karina highly enough! After trying several dog sitters, we finally found a team we can trust completely. They have watched our two French bulldogs at our house for multiple trips. One of our older Frenchies can be difficult around new people, but to my amazement, Alberto won him over right away! They treat our pets with love and care, following all instructions and going above and beyond. Daily updates with pictures and videos keep us connected, and they respond immediately to any texts. It feels amazing to have found such dedicated caregivers for our dogs while I’m away.”
“I cannot recommend Rory enough. She was the best house guest and Poppy’s best friend the entire time she sat for us. I felt so confident leaving Poppy in her care, and she shared multiple updates and photos daily. She cared for our home as if it was her own, even offering to take out the trash, unloaded our dishwasher, washed and refilled the bath towels, and prepped Poppy’s belongings together for our friends that planned to watch her next during our time away. Her professionalism and passion for animals is unmatched and I will be booking her many times more in the future!”
“Loveneet did a wonderful job staying with Opie at our home while we were away. He managed to get a normally camera shy dog to pose for some great pics. Highly recommended!”
About: Hi! I’m Stephanie — dog-obsessed, detail-oriented, and fully committed to making sure your pet has THE BEST time while you’re away. If your dog likes belly rubs, goofy voices, walks with purpose, or dramatic storytelling… we’re going to get along just fine. 🐶✨ I just moved back to Dallas and can’t wait to build a little community of furry friends! Whether your pup wants to nap, zoom, snuggle, or supervise me while I eat snacks, I’m here for it. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I structure my day around consistency. I work a predictable schedule and plan breaks specifically for walks, feedings, playtime, and check-ins. I love building routines with pets, so it’s easy for me to stay on top of their schedules and keep everything running smoothly from morning to night. care for pets the same way I care for my own—structure, safety, and lots of affection. In my home, pets get a consistent routine with scheduled walks, playtime, feedings, and plenty of supervised downtime. If I’m caring for a pet in a client’s home, I follow their established routines closely to maintain comfort and familiarity. I always keep communication open with frequent updates, pictures, and notes on how your pet is doing so you feel connected and confident while you’re away.
About: Hello, I am so excited to have a new friend in your pet!!! My name is April and I love cats and dogs but I don't have any of my own. I love dog sitting and walking them too. I'm working from home at the moment and getting out to walk a dog is just what I need to keep me sane. I have a few families that I sit for on the regular and the dogs have become like friends. My schedule is pretty flexible so if you have any questions let me know. I have my own vehicle and do not work my regular jobs on the weekdays so this works out perfect for me. Can't wait to meet you and your fur babies and cats.
About: I’ve spent a lot of time around dogs of different sizes and personalities, including energetic dogs and pets that need extra patience and attention. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding routines, playtime, basic care, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m very attentive and try to treat every pet like my own. I’m currently on summer break from university, so my schedule is super flexible right now. I’m available pretty much all day, every day, which makes it easy for me to give pets a lot of attention, walks, playtime, and consistent care throughout the week. I always try to keep pets comfortable and stick to their normal routine as much as possible. In my home, I make sure they get lots of attention, playtime, walks, and a clean safe space to relax. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their routines and instructions so the pet feels comfortable and stress-free while they’re away.
“Virginia was amazing! She did a meet and greet beforehand. She made me feel so comfortable that my fur baby would be in good hands while I enjoyed my vacation. She took good care of my pup and I would recommend her to friends and family! I will definitely use her for my future trips.”

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.

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.
As of October 2026, there are 4,947 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 , 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.
