“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.”
“Alisha was great. Cooperative, communication on point, punctual, followed instructions, sent me pictures. I definitely recommend her and would take her help next time.”
“Leaving our pets behind is never easy, but Diego made the entire experience stress-free. He treated our pet like family and gave them so much love and attention. He even brought them to the park and had a play date with some other friendly dogs! Coming home to relaxed pet and a clean house meant everything to us.”
“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.”
“Maria did a great job taking care of Koda! She was patient and understanding with him, especially since he can be a little shy at first. She gave him the time he needed to warm up and made sure he was comfortable and cared for the entire time. Would definitely book again.”
“Raylon was great! Really appreciate the updates he sent to us, both photos and confirmation that both pets were eating great. That was really important especially as our elder kitty recently was having trouble eating and our dog just had a dental cleaning. It was a relief to hear and see updates and know that Raylon was with our babies at our home. He also took great care of our home. Thanks Raylon!”
“Jessica was AMAZING. Always communicated promptly, sent photos of my pup at each visit, and asked really good questions when setting up her appointment. So grateful for a positive experience. Will definitely use Jessica again.”
“Hunter is great and my dogs love him. I would highly recommend hunter for anyone that is looking for house sitting. This is ideal for our dogs because they are used to someone being home with them most of the time and at night so I can go on vacation and not worry that my fur babies are stressed rather I know they are in good hands and having a fun time with Hunter!”
About: I love animals. They are there for you when you need them and they love us as much as we love them. Sometimes their love is more than we deserve. I want to help you show your pet that you care for them even if you’re away. I enjoy high energy activities that help dogs get the movement they need to stay healthy. I will always keep above average standards for all my interactions with your pets. My main concern is that you feel comfortable leaving your loved one in my care. In the past I have worked with boxers, pit bulls, bull mastiffs, shitzus, cats, lizards, snakes, dolphins and much more. My availability ranges from one time services to repeat customers. My main concern is the health and safety of your fuzzy family member(s). I am blessed to have flexibility and can fit pet care in to my daily routine. This makes me ideal for times when finding a sitter, walker, etc. is challenging. I have a fenced yard and live near 2 large parks. Everyday I practice movement for at least 45 mins, so I will be able to keep up during walks. As an observer, I pay attention to details that could potentially put any sentient being I’m with in harms way. I create a plan and make sure I am vigilant at all times.
“As always, Dylan is the absolute best sitter we have worked with!! Our pup was SO excited to see him, it was so adorable. We get constant updates and communication, our pup is clearly so loved and cared for while we are away, and our home is spotless when we return! Dylan is absolutely amazing and is always my first call when we need a sitter :)”
“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.”
“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.”
About: Hey there! My name is Raphanee, and caring for dogs has been something I've genuinely enjoyed for years. I've been dog sitting for close friends and people in my circle, and I decided it was time to share that experience with even more pet parents. I know every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pup loves long walks, lots of playtime, or simply relaxing with someone who enjoys their company, I'm happy to provide the care that makes them feel comfortable and loved. I believe communication is just as important as great pet care. While you're away, you can expect regular updates, photos and quick responses so you always know your fur baby is happy and safe. My flexible schedule allows me to give your pet the attention they deserve, whether it's a walk, a drop-in visit, overnight care, or extended sitting. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! Dogs have always been a part of my life, so making time for them comes naturally. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to give each pet the attention they deserve instead of trying to squeeze them into a busy day. Whether it's morning walks, feeding, playtime, or just keeping them company, I'm happy to work around their routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I know how important it is for pets to stay on their normal routine, so that's always my priority. Whether I'm stopping by for a drop-in, taking your dog on a walk, or staying overnight, I'll follow your care instructions closely and make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I enjoy getting to know each dog's unique personality, whether they're full of energy or prefer a slower pace. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and in good hands. I treat every home with respect and every pet like they're part of the family.
“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.”

Avy is so great! Dahlia and Tumbleweed absolutely love her, and she takes such good care of them (and our apartment) while we’re traveling. She also goes above and beyond—Dahlia, my border collie, is very leash reactive and Avy took the time to research and learn about reactivity in border collies so she could be more supportive of her and prepared on their walks (and, of course, the extra work is paying off and Dahlia has been much calmer on walks!).
Dylan was EXCEPTIONAL! 10 stars! He did full overnight stays with our three fur babies. They have very specific routines and a constant need for attention and cuddles. Dylan went above and beyond not only to make sure their routines went uninterrupted, but he spoiled them every step of the way. We got detailed updates throughout the day, complete with albums of pictures showing just how happy our pups were with him. Our two Frenchies and Golden Retriever are a hard crowd to win over, but they looked quite happy with Dylan by their side. It's very clear he showed them the love and care we would want!
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.
Ashley did a wonderful job caring for our kitties overnight for more than a week. She kept them entertained and even our most shy cats opened up to her. They were well taken care of and I did not have to worry about them being lonely while we were gone. Ashley also communicated with us about an a/c issue at the end of our trip and still stayed with our kitties even through the rising temps. Over and above service. Thank you!
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!!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Dallas Downtown
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Dallas Downtown on Rover is $58.85 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 5,098 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Dallas Downtown. 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 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 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.
