“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 was amazing! From the day we met prior to her babysitting Ivy, I instantly knew she was kind. I immediately felt comfortable and my worries left my body. She was super attentive, so sweet to my baby, and kept me updated every day. I truly appreciated how safe I felt leaving my baby. I would 100000000% recommend her to anyone. Ivy will definitely be seeing her again in the future :)”
“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!”
“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!!!”
“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 :-)”
“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!”
“Michelle is awesome. Amazing. The absolute best. She communicated very well and went above and beyond what a pet/house sitter should have to do. She was so accommodating and treated my babies like they were her own. I couldn’t have hoped for better.”
About: With a lifetime of pet care experience, I’m here to keep your furry friends happy and active! Growing up with animals and pet-sitting for family and friends has taught me how to care for pets with love and attention to detail. As an energetic and reliable pet lover, I enjoy walking dogs just as much as they love their walks. Let me be your pet’s new best friend for walks, playtime, and check-ins! I currently work full-time from 5A-1:30p. So, I’m available for weekday evening walks and drop-in visits after 2pm. I am also flexible on weekends unless I have plans to be out of town. I absolutely love walking dogs, and I would love to walk your fur baby. I walk my two dogs every day, so I am very used to this. I’ll make sure the walk is is as long as your pup needs and as fun as it can be! If you need me to just drop in to feed or play with your dog, I can do that as well!
“Rory was so fantastic! She took amazing care of our two shibas. We got pictures and updates everyday. My husband runs a business from home. When the power went out, she helped us reboot everything. She's amazing. Definitely will rebook her in the future.”
“We will keep hiring Elaine! She’s a keeper for my dog, Donut who is 17 years old, a little grumpy old man, a little slow, but overall friendly and chill. She handled him so well, and they sure bonded so so well, too! She provides frequent updates and photos even without asking! Also, she definitely experienced all or most of Donut’s habits. At first I was very worried and nervous, because we had never used Rover or hired an actual pet sitter before. However, Elaine made Donut and my experience so wonderful, and we can’t wait for her to look after Donut again!! Which will be very soon! Thank you so much, Elaine!! You’re a lifesaver!”
“Bree did a great job with our two pups, Leonard (Lab) and Lola (Corgi-mix), and we highly recommend her. She stayed at the house while we were away and left it as clean, if not cleaner, than when we left. She walked the dogs, took them to the dog park, and bathed them and kept us in the loop with videos and photographs of their adventures. Bree is very responsive to texts and punctual. She's also a joy to be around and we felt very comfortable having her in our home.”
About: Although I am new to Rover, I have been taking care of animals on the side for friends/family for years. I’m currently live in Uptown Dallas, but back at my families home I have 4 dogs that I’ve raised and trained—three pit bulls I’ve had since they were 8 weeks old, and a little chihuahua. Growing up, I was surrounded by a wide variety of breeds, including golden retrievers, German shepherds, and pitskies (pit bull-husky mixes), so I’m very experienced in caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I’ve also had the pleasure of taking care of golden doodles, Great Danes, XL bullies, labs, and smaller breeds, as well as providing senior care for older dogs. Animals are truly a gift, and I absolutely love working with them. I’ll make sure your dog gets the best care, plenty of love, and attention as if they were my own! Message me!! Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine! I work from home so I’m flexible on where I work from and when I take my breaks! This allows me to spend quality time with your dog, providing walks, playtime, and care without any rush. Whether it’s a quick check-in or longer stays, I can ensure your dog gets the attention they need while you’re busy. Although I don’t offer in-home care at my place, I’m dedicated to providing exceptional care for your pets in the comfort of your own home. I understand how important it is to stay connected, so I’ll keep you updated throughout the day with messages, photos, and any details on how your pet is doing. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure your pet is happy, comfortable, and well taken care of while you’re away. You’ll always be aware of their routine, and I’ll follow any specific instructions you provide to ensure everything goes smoothly.
“Alexi was great! I didn’t worry about anything, she even cleaned the house a little from the storm that caused mud. I was at peace knowing she was there. It’s better than boarding my animals for sure. I will for sure use her again!”
“Morgan was wonderful to work with. She took great care of our dogs and house and communicated daily with updates and photos of our pups. We already have plans to use Morgan again in the near 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!!”
“Tyler and Jordan are AMAZING!! We recently booked them for house sitting with our 13 week old GSD and the communication and updates were outstanding. They were able to come over for a meet and greet beforehand with her and I felt very secure in knowing they would be caring for my pup. Highly recommend and will definitely be using their services in the future.”
“Crystal is Tilly and Penny’s favorite! She’s our top choice when we go out of town and need an in-home overnight sitter. She’s communicative, punctual, and most importantly loves ours pups the way we do. She always leaves the house spotless and in perfect condition when we arrive home. We couldn’t be more grateful to have Crystal house sit by knowing our home and the girls are in great hands! Thanks Crystal!”

Jackie did an amazing job house sitting King for me this weekend! I expected nothing less, as she’s also his weekly dog walker. I came home to a clean house and a well taken care of fur baby! 🐾❤️ I truly appreciate her care and consistency and will definitely continue booking her services. Highly recommend!
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.
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!
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!
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.

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 Downtown 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 Downtown 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 Downtown 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.
