“Catherine did an amazing job taking care of my cat! She kept me updated and was very flexible when my flight got cancelled. She is very sweet and responsive and I couldn’t recommend her enough!”
About: I have been taking care of animals for 6 years now, including dogs, cats, reptiles, and farm animals. I am willing to work with various training methods according to the pets needs, but have the most experience in positive reinforcement methods. I also have experience through my own dogs in senior care and medications. I am a student at University of North Texas with a flexible schedule and plenty of time during the day to take care of your pets needs. While caring for your pet in your home, I don't just come in and out. I will play with them and give them all the love while you are away, whether it's just for the day or more!
About: I’ve spent the last 10 years caring for dogs and cats, and it’s truly one of my favorite things to do. I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, and a sitter who pays attention to the little things like their habits, their quirks, and what makes them feel safe. I’m comfortable with all breeds, ages, and temperaments, and I always follow your instructions closely. Whether your dog needs long walks or your cat prefers quiet companionship, I adapt to their needs. I send updates, respect your home, and make sure your pets feel loved while you’re away. 🐶🐱 My Experience Over the past decade, I’ve cared for pets of all sizes, temperaments, and needs. I’m comfortable with: Puppies and high‑energy dogs Senior pets who need patience and gentle routines Special‑needs animals requiring medication or extra monitoring Multi‑pet households 💛 Why Owners Love Working With Me Clear communication and daily updates Respect for your home and routines A calm, trustworthy presence pets bond with quickly Reliability! I show up on time, every time If you’re looking for someone who treats your pets like family, I’d love to help. I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to love on your pets! I'm early to bed and early to rise, so your pets will get lots of early morning playtime and walks and evening cuddles. I am a firm believer in at minimum one walk a day (if your baby is physically able!), and I am always happy to do multiple walks and dog park trips!
About: I treat every pet like family. I’m experienced with puppies, senior care, and bring a mix of patience, energy, creativity, and love to every visit. As an online college student, I have a highly flexible schedule, allowing me to offer open availability and easily integrate pet care into my daily and weekly routine. Whether in my home or a client’s, I provide attentive, personalized care based on each pet’s needs. I maintain their usual routines, ensure a clean and safe environment, and give plenty of affection, playtime, and exercise. I’m also mindful of any special instructions like feeding schedules, medications, or training practices.
“Our first time using a sitter. Great experience. Jordan came over yesterday to meet our 3 dogs. She arrived on time today for the scheduled visit and sent lots of cute pics. It's helps to know they are ok when we are away from them. We will definitely schedule Jordan again.”
About: 🐶 Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and I love spending time with them! I have experience around all kinds of dogs, and I have a Yorkie and German Shepherd mix of my own. My family also fosters dogs, so I understand that every dog has their own personality, needs, and comfort level. Whether it’s going for a walk, playing at the park, getting some fresh air, or simply relaxing and keeping them company at home, I enjoy making sure dogs feel happy, safe, and loved. I’m happy to give them attention, playtime, and affection while keeping their routines and individual needs in mind. My goal is to make your dog feel like they’re spending time with a friend, while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring hands! 🐾❤️ As a college student, I have classes in the mornings and am typically available after 12:30 PM throughout the afternoon and evening. I’m also available most weekends! I love spending my free time caring for animals, whether that means going on walks, playing outside, or keeping your fur babies company while you’re away. I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have three dogs of my own, so I understand that every animal has unique needs, routines, and personalities. Because one of my dogs is reactive toward other dogs, I’m unable to board additional pets in my home. However, I’m happy to provide care in your home, where I can focus on your pet’s individual needs, follow your instructions, and maintain their usual routine. Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my priority.

About: I’ve had medical training with animals as a vet tech and kennel lead. ❤️ I have experience with meds, and I love senior pups (really all pups).🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I have a flexible schedule and enjoy building my days around the needs of the pets I care for.

“Austin was so polite and reliable! He came to meet the cats out of his own will before hand to make sure he was a good fit and sent us lovely pictures throughout the babysitting. One of my shy cats even came out to meet him by the second visit— I was impressed!”
About: With over 2 years of experience working in a veterinary clinic and being a certified Veterinary Assistant, I bring a unique level of care and expertise to pet sitting whilst raising and having pets of my own for most of my life! I've spent years babysitting for multiple families, caring for a variety of pets, from dogs and cats to exotic animals. My hands-on experience in both pet care and veterinary assistance allows me to provide not only the love and attention your pet deserves but also the professional care they may need in case of emergencies. Trust me to treat your furry (or scaly!) family like my own. I am a part-time college student studying to become a Marine Biologist! I want to take my love and passion for animals and our wildlife and turn it into a future career in hopes of changing our environment and making our world a better place! I love to come into a home and first thing I do is let everyone outside to play, I enjoy to have some bonding time with others' pets and even my own! I find this even more important if it's one of the first times I'm meeting a new pet, bonding and spending time with the pet is an important step in what I do when I pet sit.
About: Animals have always held a special place in my heart, and caring for them is something I genuinely love! Through my volunteer work at a local animal shelter, I’ve had the opportunity to work with dogs of all different ages, sizes, personalities, and energy levels. From energetic pups who love long walks and outdoor adventures to shy, nervous dogs who need a little extra patience and reassurance, I understand that every animal has their own personality, preferences, and needs. I’ve gained hands-on experience walking dogs, recognizing behavioral cues, helping anxious dogs feel more comfortable, and providing positive, enriching experiences. I especially enjoy getting dogs outside to explore, exercise, and enjoy their surroundings while making sure they feel safe and supported. Whether your pup loves a good adventure, leisurely sniff walks, or simply having someone nearby for companionship and affection, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to make sure your pet feels loved, comfortable, and cared for while giving you peace of mind through thoughtful communication and regular updates! Pet care is already a meaningful part of my regular routine! I enjoy spending time outdoors, staying active, and volunteering with animals at my local shelter, so incorporating walks, playtime, and companionship into my day comes naturally. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time and attention to the pets in my care. I particularly enjoy morning and daytime walks, but I’m also happy to coordinate visits around your pet’s established routine and individual needs. Whether you’re looking for regular walks, occasional drop-in visits, or care while you’re away, I value being dependable, communicative, and consistent. I understand how important routines are for animals and always do my best to make their days feel as normal, comfortable, and enjoyable as possible! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being will always be my top priorities. Through my experience volunteering with shelter animals, I’ve learned how important it is to pay attention to body language, recognize signs of stress or discomfort, and adjust my approach to meet each animal’s needs. When caring for pets in their own homes, I respect their familiar routines, feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any specific instructions you provide. I take care to ensure doors and gates are secure, leashes and harnesses fit properly, and pets are supervised appropriately during walks and visits. I understand that some animals need extra patience, reassurance, or space, and I never believe in forcing interactions. Building trust takes time, and I want every pet to feel safe and comfortable in my care. I also believe communication is an important part of responsible pet sitting. I’ll provide updates and photos, share anything important I notice, and make sure you know how your pet is doing while you’re away. My goal is to care for your pets and respect your home with the same attention and consideration I would want for my own!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Denton
April, thank you so much. I so appreciate everything that you do with the fur babies while I’m gone and to get home and they’re so calm is so heartwarming. I feel like I can finally just relax while gone with nothing in the back of my head worrying me. On top of that the photos just show me how much they love you. Again thank you so very much! ❤️
Kelsey was amazing. She arrived at all the agreed times and gave us pictures and messages which made us feel very secure that our pup was in good hands. We had never used this service, so I was a little apprehensive, but Kelsey has made this a great experience. Already booked her again!
Rachelle is amazing and so kind. She obviously loves animals so much. We went on a 4-day trip and she took such great care of our babies, sending detailed pictures and info and even giving our cat his medicine 2x/day. We will definitely book Rachelle again.
We selected Michele as our dog sitter. We were so lucky to land such an incredible person who loves animals and knows the responsibilities that come with the role. She is warm , caring , funny and easy to like. My dog thinks so too. We will 100% use her again, recommend her to others and we will always be so grateful for her helping. Thank you Michele. Tucker thanks you too.
Luna loves Sophia. I can tell thru the pics that Luna is well taken care. I see them playing together, sitting in the sun. This is our second time with Sophia and no doubt it will not be our last. I don’t worry about Luna when I’m gone. I get great notes telling me all of what’s going on. We will definitely call her again next time!!!
Shannon is absolutely an A+ sitter!!! She goes above and beyond with your caring for your animals and being available at a moments notice. Our pets have very very specific requirements; Shannon handles our pets with great care! We never have to worry about being away which brings great comfort. Can’t say enough great things about her <3
Caitlyn did such an amazing job taking care of our dog, Honey while we were away for a week! After each drop in visit she would leave a detailed note of everything they did together and send tons of pictures which is so nice when you are away from your pup for so long! Highly recommend using Caitlyn as your dog sitter!🐶🐾❤️
Tori was wonderful with my dog! I booked drop in visits and couldn’t schedule a meet and greet beforehand, so I gave her a heads up that my Shorkie would be very anxious with a stranger coming in. Her first update put me completely at ease. She said he was too nervous to even take treats at first, but she was patient with him, and once she mentioned going for a walk he warmed up. After the walk she tried playing with his toys, but he just wanted belly rubs from her, so she gave him lots of belly rubs and he gave her lots of kisses. By her second visit, he was excited to see her! I booked her for 4 drop in visits in one week and it was excellent for my dog and my peace of mind Communication was excellent — detailed updates, quick responses. She was accommodating to everything my dog needed and so easy to work with. She went above and beyond, and I’d absolutely book her again. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Denton is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $29 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 5,660 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Denton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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!
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.
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.
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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Denton with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
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.
