“Ally was a great dog sitter. She took great care of Bernard and was very communicative. She send constant updates and photos of Bernard which made it easier for us to leave him behind knowing that he was well taken care of.”
“Stephanie and Andre were very thoughtful and attentive cat sitters. We have a shy cat, but he warmed up to them quickly. Thank you for being such caring and responsive to both of our cats needs.”
“Jennifer is so loved by our animals! We are so happy to have found someone that we feel so comfortable leaving our animals with. Jennifer is also an excellent house guest and made sure everything was in order so we could just get home and relax after our travels.”
“Kelly did a wonderful job, as always! Our girls just love her- and it’s clear she loves them back! There was a brutal heatwave while we were gone and Kelly was careful to keep our dogs cool with the water hose, and walked them when it was cooler outside. She played with them and gave them all the love and attention they are used to when we are home. She took great care of our house and also watered our potted plants to keep everything alive during the intense heat. When we returned home, the dogs were clearly well cared for, and were very relaxed and non-stressed by our absence. The house was clean and well kept while we were gone. Kelly is our go-to person when we have to be away. We completely trust her!”
“Thank you Jenna!! Jenna is amazing - she stayed in our home for five days and watched our sweet dog Koa while we were on vacation. When she came for the initial meet and greet she was so personable, asked great questions, went on a walk with me and Koa, and made us feel so positive about leaving him with her. She took amazing care of our home while we were away, sent updates and pictures of Koa, made sure to give him his medication, and we could tell when we got home that she took exceptional care of him and stuck to his schedules - he was happy and healthy! We also have a bunny and kitty that our son stopped by and took care of, but Jenna made sure to give them lots of attention too:) I HIGHLY recommend Jenna to care for your pets and home - she is reliable, trustworthy, and seamless to work with.”
“Bridget did a great job with both my dogs. She was very responsive, and communicated well and sent lots of pictures! She exceeded my expectations and will definitely be rebooking her for future trips!”
“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.”
“I reached out to Alex to watch my pup on very short notice. Not only did she respond quickly, but came to visit a day prior to my departure to get to know Bailey before I was to leave early the following morning. My pup has significant anxiety, but from the moment Alex walked in she was at ease. Alex provided pictures and updates throughout her stay. Recommend her highly!”
“Christine was so great with Lenny! He was immediately comfortable with her, she was immediately comfortable with him - and he immediately listened to and followed her lead. Her considerable experience (with all kinds of animals and particularly dogs in this case) was very apparent. She was attentive, meticulous, and provided many updates throughout the long weekend we were away. Lenny seemed sad when he realized she wasn't coming back the night we returned.🙂 We would absolutely hope to book with her again.”
“Fatima is our first choice for a dog sitter. She’s dependable and sensitive to our older dog’s needs. She has great communication skills and keeps us updated with pictures and recaps while we’re away.”
“Aurora was awesome taking care of my 16 year old Chihuahua that is battling cancer and some eye problems, along with our foster pup who can be a handful. They both warmed up to her right away and loved her, she followed instructions for all of their medications and eyedrops to a T.”
“Rainy was great. We had kind of a weird situation where we needed someone to watch earlier in the day and then come back in the evening and she accommodated that and sent tons of pictures was communicative.”
“Greyson is incredibly communicative, mindful, and responsive. As a fellow rover sitter, I have to say I'm very impressed with Greyson's attention to detail and process. Greyson also demonstrates care and love for my pet, and it's great having someone like them come to my home and watch my house and fur baby. Highly recommend if you're looking for someone to care for your pet while you're away!”
“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!!”
“Nichole is wonderful! Communication is top notch - lots of pictures and updates were so appreciated. The two goofballs loved her! Nichole administered medication to one of the dogs, followed feeding and supplement instructions perfectly and took great care of our two doggies. Highly recommended!”
“Tj was wonderful with our cat! He loves animals and animals love him. Shoni was so relaxed and happy with him. He kept the house clean. We came back to a happy kitty and a clean home. Definitely rebooking!”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life! I’ve taken care of dogs in old age, as well as helped to raise them as puppies. Throughout the years I have also been a parent to guinea pigs, reptiles, and beetles. I’ve never had cats of my own, but I have plenty experience pet-sitting my friends kitties! My pet care philosophy shines through getting to know every pet individually and figuring out how they want to be cared for. I’m out of school for the summer, so my schedule is generally very open! I do volunteer/community work and tend to be most available on the weekdays, but my schedule is quite flexible. I respect anyone’s pets as if they were my own. Whatever established pet care routines a parent has are of utmost importance to me, and I am sure to treat animals with nothing but positivity.
“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.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Denton is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Denton
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.
Emily did a wonderful job taking care of our dog and cat. She sent lots of pictures and videos, and even comforted our pets during a rough storm on her first night. As it was the first time using a pet sitting service, she exceeded all our expectations and we will definitely use her again next time as our pets loved her!
Jackie is amazing! She watched my Huey at my house for 5 nights. Huey loves her. She kept me up to date daily with pics and texts. She’s so sweet. I was away for my son’s wedding. I never worried. Then, to top it off she left me a beautiful flower bouquet and huge Welcome Home balloon…thanking me for letting her watch my little guy. She is my go to now! I’m almost afraid to say all this because she’ll be booked! Please have Jackie watch your fur babies. She’s a treasure. 🥰
Elton did a great job staying at our house to watch our dog, cats and fish while we were out of town for the week! I was nervous hiring someone I didn't know to have access to my house and upon first time meeting, Elton made me feel so much better! Throughout our trip we were able to text through the app and he was responsive every time I reached out. The animals looked happy and healthy when we got home. Elton even got our mail and took the trash out. The house looked clean upon our return and I would have him back again!
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 💙

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Denton on Rover is $43.9 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 2,036 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Denton. 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 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.
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 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 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.
