“Carol stayed in my apartment and looked after my heeler Louie over several days. She was a great communicator, which was super helpful as my return flight was considerably delayed. Louie seemed quite content in my absence. The apartment was also just as I had left it! I highly recommend her.”
“Oh my gosh - our fur babies and feather babies were so happy ! So well taken care of ! We received photos all weekend and I so appreciate she kept in contact all weekend . She was so kind she even cleaned up all our pups hairiness 😂😂😂 everyone was fed , watered and were all relaxed and happy . She even contacted me when a storm came through and she had them all tucked in and snug as a rug . My life has changed with this little sweetie and I would love to have her play with our babies again !!!!”
“Traci was awesome! Jovi loved her and Jovi is picky. Traci sent lots of updates while she house sat and watched our dog for a week. She was all we could hope for and more. Came home to a clean house and wash done on everything Traci used. Top notch and we highly recommend.”
“We really love Jessica and she takes good care of our fur babies! We have a 7 year old foxhound a 7 month old new lab/beagle mix puppy at our house and she took on both last week, and they just loved having her here!

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 13 years old. My friends, neighbors and family have trusted me to take care of their pets, whether it's keeping them for a couple of nights for their vacations or any eventuality. As well as take them for a walk and feed them. I'm at home all day I will be able to take care of your pet when you are not there, it will be in a safe and comfortable place I take care of pets in my house . There's plenty of space in the area for walks or playing together. and at the same time be able to run.
“Lauren did an excellent job of taking care of our dogs while we were away. She sent updates and photos daily, and was responsive to any questions I had. Our dogs looked happy and loved in every photo. I would book with her again!”
“Emani is the person you are looking for! We met Emani for the first time last week and I knew she would be perfect for us when, during the meet & greet, my dog Robbie fell asleep with his head on her leg . I am just home from several days out-of-town. While I was gone Emani texted regularly with cheerful updates and pictures for Robbie. I returned to find Robbie happy, healthy, and very well looked after and the house is as tidy as I left it. Emani is responsible, and trust-worthy. She made mature decisions and treated my home with respect and by dog with affection. I can't say enough in praise of the great job she did for us.”
“We really appreciate everything that Allison does for our Louie! She’s very punctual and arrives when she says she will and she does a wonderful job of staying in contact with us and filing us in on how things are going. We really appreciate the photos she sends us as well. She brings her own bedding and food and always leaves our home in great shape. We are always confident that our doggie will receive kind and loving care. We highly recommend Allison! 5 Stars!!”
About: Ive dog sit for friends and family at their home. Taking care of them in their own personal environment. Clients home care would to be following their rules/routines for their pet. Rather that be a walk or playing with their toys, feeding schedule..etc. ive sat older dogs, younger dogs and even taken a blind pup out for a day from the shelter! I work a full time job but i am able to leave once or twice during my shift to take care of the animals in your home! I will stop by and let them outside and play with them for a bit during my shift. I would stop by before my shift and immediately after, i always make sure they have enough time to play and go to the bathroom before i leave. I have dogs at home that arent dog friendly so i do have experience with reactive dogs! I cant keep other pets in my own home while you are not home but i am more than happy to hangout at your home and care for them!
“Stacey did so great with my dogs. One of my dogs is extremely afraid of strangers but instantly approached Stacey during or initial meet and greet. Will definitely be using Stacey again!”
“Yasmin is amazing! We are from out of town and needed care for our two dogs while we attended a family wedding. Yasmin patiently stayed for 8 hours at our rental walking, feeding, playing, and babying our fur babies. Our Sr. Lab has a multitude of phobias and can be challenging but Yasmin was patient and kind. All while dealing with our 1 year old Mini Aussi. I can’t wait to visit again and have her back. She is a life saver!”
“Tiffany did a great job taking care of our pets and small hobby farm. She communicated regularly before, during, and after our trip. Tiffany was also flexible when unexpected things came up. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have over 7 years of hands-on pet care experience. Growing up with dogs taught me how to understand their different personalities and needs. I also have a Shih Tzu of my own, so I know how important it is to provide pets with love, patience, and a safe environment. In addition, I’ve cared for my sister’s dogs, helping with feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and making sure they feel comfortable while she’s away. I understand that every dog is unique, and I’ll treat your pet with the same love and care I give my own. You can count on me to provide reliable, attentive, and compassionate care while you’re away. I currently work part-time at a daycare, which has helped me become responsible, patient, and dependable. I’m fully available on Thursdays and Fridays, and I’m available Monday through Wednesday after 8:00 p.m. I’m hoping to make pet care my full-time career through Rover, so I’m committed to providing reliable, loving, and attentive care for every pet. I’ll always make sure your furry family member gets the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I’ll take the time to learn your dog’s routine, feeding schedule, and any special needs so they receive the best care possible. I have a friendly Shih Tzu of my own, and I always make sure introductions are done safely and only if everyone is comfortable. Whether we’re going on leashed walks, playing, or relaxing at home, I’ll provide a safe, clean, and loving environment. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.

In this role, I have gained valuable experience in various aspects of dog care, including administering medications, closely monitoring behavior, and providing exceptional care for dogs of all ages and sizes. My dedication and passion for ensuring the well-being of these furry companions have allowed me to develop a deep understanding of their unique needs. I am able to work from home on Mondays through Wednesdays, which allows me the flexibility to balance my responsibilities. On Thursdays through Sundays, I am fully available in between my shifts at the kennel, ensuring that I can handle any tasks or commitments that come my way. This arrangement enables me to efficiently manage my time and fulfill both my work-from-home responsibilities and my duties at the kennel. When I am in your home, you can rest assured that I will go above and beyond to ensure your beloved pet is not only happy and safe but also thoroughly entertained. Your furry friend will be pampered and cared for in the utmost luxury, providing them with the ultimate comfort and peace of mind while you are away.
About: I've taken care of different breeds of dogs (labs, bichon, cavaliers, boxers, etc.) with ages ranging from puppy - end of life. Been referred from jobs to owners friends and have a passion to take care of others pets. I'm currently working full-time Monday - Friday, but would be able to care for pets outside of classic business hours. I have no reoccurring weekend commitments. When taking care of pets in the clients home I like to leave the home as good as it was when I arrived or better.
“Great communication and daily photos/videos. This was our first time leaving our dog, so she didn't eat for the first day we were gone. We collaborated on some problem solving, and she decided she could eat again with the help of some peanut butter. House was well cared for, as well.”
About: I have grown up around all kinds of animals. Cats and dogs, guinea pigs and hamsters, and the occasional bird. I'm good at following strict care routines and paying close attention to detail. I've watched my roommates' disabled cats for a few years now when they leave for vacations. I'm available most weekdays and weekends and can be booked for full weeks in advance as long as I have that time slotted out in advance and nothing currently booked for appointments or other obligations in my calendar. I have a very flexible schedule as I am not currently conventionally employed and am more than happy to do extended bookings! I will work with your individual pet schedule(s) and needs to understand your pet(s) best to keep them as comfortable and as familiar and on their usual schedules as much as possible while you are away, whether for a few days or longer. We will go over care plan, sleep schedule, walks, feeding and more while I stay over. I intend to keep your pets within their usual routines as much as I possibly can, and will do everything in my ability to ensure you return to them at their healthiest and happiest!

FAQs for House Sitting - De Soto
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in De Soto on Rover is $22.2 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 494 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across De Soto. 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 De Soto 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 De Soto 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 De Soto 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in De Soto. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 91% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
