“Stephanie and Andre did a great job of taking care of our cats while we were away. They did a great job making sure that they got their medicine on time and sent great updates.”
“This was my second experience utilizing Rover house sitting. Communication was excellent with photos and prompt replies. She even mopped the basement and cleaned the kitchen sink area, which was an added bonus. My understanding was that she and her husband would stop by 4 times a day and walk the dogs. The house smelled good upon arrival and my pets appeared to be in good health & spirits. In addition, she is a retired vet tech. So, yes, I would consider having the couple house sit again.”
“Fatima took wonderful care of our 2 dogs! She sent updates and photos every day. When we returned home everything was in its place and our dogs were relaxed and happy. She went above and beyond by unloading the dishwasher and taking out the garbage as well.”
“Denise was wonderful with my dogs. I have 3 small dogs who like to have company at home and that’s exactly what she provided. I was able to relax peacefully knowing my babies were safe and home, enjoying themselves. I got lots of updates throughout the weekend including videos and texts. She left the house exactly as she found it and had no issues! I will be inviting Denise back for my next trip!”
“I was very happy with Alex. She obviously took great care of my critters. Nahla was excited to go for a walk with me, and she didn’t want to go before! When we had our meet and greet, Nahla was enthralled with Alex and Simba came up and gave her a kiss! He only gives me kisses!!! That kind of clenched it for me. She sent a few photos and stayed in touch. I will use her again if she’ll have us.”
“Our 5 cats all have very different personalities and needs but Ally is always attentive to their unique needs while we were away! We love having her watch our girls!”
“The house was left very neat and she was good at communicating with us. Our cats hid throughout much of her stay, but that's their normal behavior with new people and not a reflection on Jaicyn. She actually seemed like a caring and nice person and we're hoping to have her again.”
“Jenna was fantastic! She house sat for our two labs for five days. One of the dogs got an upset stomach just before we left on our trip and Jenna was so caring and gracious in getting her back to feeling normal. She was easy to work with and left the house in good shape. Definitely recommend.”
“We’ve used Rylie twice now and she’s done a fantastic job. Our pup seems to have really taken to her. We also accidentally booked 1 night short of our return date and she was happy to adjust plans and stay an extra night!”
“Ivy was a perfect sitter! Lacey rly loved her! Ivy sent multiple updates and pictures throughout the day was very responsive. Will definitely be reaching out to her for future sitter needs!”
“Jordan was very communicative, willing to do a meet, and greet, and helpful with our dog’s medical needs while watching her. She provided frequent updates with pictures and gave us peace of mind while away. Thank you, Jordan!!”
About: I've taken care of neighbor and family pets since the 1990s, mostly cats and dogs. I'm comfortable with daily care, feeding schedules walks, playtime, and helping pet feel calm, safe, and well looked after. I make my own schedule so I'm able to help watch pets almost anytime. Weekdays, weekends, days, nights, all sorts of times. Hit me up! I have a large fenced yard and one dog who gets along well with others. When I'm caring for a pet at its house I'm very respectful of the space.
About: Hi, I’m Sarah! I’m a lifelong animal lover and the proud dog mom of Bella Rose, my rescued miniature dachshund. Caring for Bella has taught me how important patience, consistency, and gentle attention are, especially with shy or nervous dogs. I treat every pet like I would want someone to treat Bella. I’m attentive to routines, feeding instructions, medications, comfort levels, and all the little details that help animals feel safe. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddling, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll adjust to what makes them happiest. I’m also an English student and writer, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet genuine, one-on-one attention. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m an online English student and writer, so my schedule is flexible and I spend most of my time at home. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I’m available for walks, drop-ins, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I already plan my days around caring for my own dog, Bella, so making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved is a normal part of my everyday life. I follow each pet’s normal routine and all instructions provided by their owner, including feeding, walks, medications, and house rules. I keep pets supervised, double-check doors and leashes, and never leave them outside unattended. In my home, I introduce pets to Bella slowly and carefully, and I can give them separate spaces when needed. I keep my apartment calm, clean, and comfortable, with plenty of attention and rest time. I’ll also send regular photo and message updates so you always know how your pet is doing.
“Lindsey house sat and took care of our 3 very active pitbulls, 3 cats and even some of our reptiles. Communication was constant, pictures of all our pets three times a day, everyday, adressed any concerns promptly. Lindsey is thorough, polite and responsive. Our dogs had the time of thier life while she stayed with them. We have a difficult dog, she did great with Lindsey as she was patient and kind. Our cat who goes days under the bed came out to see her, we were stunned. We never worried about a thing and could enjoy our time away. Our house was pristine when we came back home. If you need a sitter, Lindsey is our recommendation. We are so pleased.”
About: I have taken care of family dogs since I was old enough to remember. I grew up with 2 shih tzu's at home, and they were my fiercest protectors. I have taken care of both senior dogs and puppies. I love caring for dogs (every size and breed!). I know how hard it is to leave your best friend behind, which is why my goal is to give you total peace of mind. Whether we’re out for a long walk or curled up on the couch, I promise to treat your pup with the same love and devotion I would give my own. You can enjoy your time away knowing they aren't just being watched—they’re being pampered, played with, and truly cared for. I’m currently working full-time (9 am-5 pm) Monday-Friday, so I would be perfect for a weekend or long weekend coverage. I am available Fridays after 4:30, and typically all day on Saturdays and Sundays. I am also open to staying during the weekdays as long as your pet does not need to be taken out in the middle of the day. I can have pets in my apartment so I am available for boarding! And, I would be more than happy to do home-stays or quick drop-ins for walks and feeding!
“Jennifer was great. She spent day and nights at my home with my cat Lily. When I returned a week later Lily was happy and my house was spotless. Jennifer also left me the sweetest thank you card. I would highly recommend Jennifer to sit or you. She loves animals and they love her. She also sent me multiple pictures and I loved that.”
About: I have cared for animals my whole life- from cats and dogs, to lizards and snails, and even horses! I love all of them and will give them all the attention they deserve. I am free weekends, evenings and nights mainly but can be very flexible. You just let me know what you need and I'll try to make it work. I do require advanced notice however. I am happy to care for pets in your home however is needed/desired during the day time or evenings. I do work most days so I cannot always guarantee a full day of availability but I can do several drop-ins a day!
“I am always glad when Robert is available to house sit my cat and dog. With him, my dog gets to take many, long walks. My cat likes to be near him, that is not true of everyone.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Denton is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Denton
Jackie is amazing! This was our second time booking with her, and we had another great experience. One of our dogs has some stomach issues and needs medication, and Jackie was very patient and attentive with his care. I also left a pretty detailed list of instructions, and she followed everything perfectly. Our dogs and cat all really like her, which gives us so much peace of mind when we’re away. Highly recommend Jackie!
Jada is great....reliable, pleasant, loves the dogs, and cares for the house beautifully. The dogs are comfortable when we get back (excited to see us but clearly happy). She walks the dogs daily and is careful about administration of medication for one of our pups. We are so lucky to have her stay with our dogs at our house.
I cannot say enough AMAZING things about Katie! From our meet and greet to the actual sitting she was always super flexible, supportive and communicative! Arya our corgi can be a little picky with food and sitters but she immediately vibed with Katie! Katie was always in touch , she was flexible with the time to arrive and she was always flexible with the transition in the last day of sitting! She also was super understanding of Arya's feeding needs, and kept us informed all the time on how she was doing, the walks they would go which gave us peace during our vacation. She also left our house super clean! I cant say enough good things about her!
This is our fourth time booking with McKenna. This time she watched are pets at our home for an extended stay and we are so grateful for her. She took such great care of them, and was very respectful of our space as well. She is such a thoughtful individual and our pets love being with her 💙

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 Denton 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 Denton 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 Denton 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.
