“I really appreciate Emma taking care of our two dogs while we were traveling for business. The dogs were well taken care of. It was nice to receive a few updates and pictures while we were away.”
“Absolutely wonderful. This was my first occasion having a sitter. She was knowledgeable, courteous, friendly, prompt and followed all instructions to the letter. 5 STARS!”
“We were so thankful to have Alexis watch our dog for the weekend! She met us beforehand, sent frequent updates, and took great care of our house and pup. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Jenae is great, very friendly and my dog Annie loved having her stay while I want out of town. She communicated with me well and was great to work with! I will definitely use her services again!”
“Alissa is absolutely amazing! She was very professional and exceptionally compassionate and loving. She is definitely a true animal lover. She took care of my four senior small dogs and two cats while I was out of town for a long weekend. One of my dogs is in a wheel chair and can’t eat on her own and the other senior is blind with medical issues so we were so worried about them, but when I met Alissa I knew she would be the perfect fit for my family. She took care of everyone like they were her own and our house was spotless when we arrived back home. She is a gem and anyone would be lucky to have her as a sitter.”
“William is a very polite young man. He was punctual, did everything I asked to take care of my Amarie girlie. Amarie has a rough history of abuse and do not trust humans easily. I was so anxious as this were our first without our doggie and making use of a sitter. She was calm with him and they even hanged out together on the night he stayed over, 😁. He left her with a goodbye and treats. I will recommend him anytime and sure I will be a repeat client.”
“Karen was wonderful with our three hounds. She sat with them at our house for 9 days and wasn’t fazed by their mischief. She sent many photos and videos and asked questions when they were not acting usual. We felt so much better as it was during a very cold storm and we knew they were safe.”
“Hanna was just perfect for my two pups. she stayed in contact and sent me pictures and/or video every day. Very professional and left the house clean. if you love your pups, she will love them right back.”
About: I grew up living on a ranch with all kinds of animals from horses to chickens, always had dogs and cats around too. I have had lots of hands on experience working along side animals trainers and vets over the years too. I’ve always had a passion and love for animals all the way from my younger years. I will treat your pets with the same love and respect as I do with my own pets. Your pets will be like apart of our family. I’m a stay at home mom and your fur baby would have care round the clock. There are occasions we go out but this is always a short time and if permission is given by you, I can take your fur baby with me when attending the park. Walks are always given on a leash. Our home is also in a very safe neighborhood where others leash their dogs too. I keep a very pet safe home by not having toxic plants, keeping cleaners put away and giving pets the space they to feel comfortable.
“Kaitlyn was amazing! I’m so thankful we found her. Oliver found his new best friend that gave him lots of love & hugs, played with him, and took such good care of him. She kept me constantly updated that made me felt at ease while I was away from my baby.”
About: I've grown up with a variety of animals - from cats, dogs, to reptiles, birds and fish. I've taken care of brachy breeds like pugs and can handle large breeds like great danes. Since the school year is coming up, I can easily take care of pets due to me taking online classes, giving me plenty of time to either watch over or check in on pets as they are needed. I'm excellent at following directions, lists, and regiments, and understand the importance of keeping up with crate training given I have crate trained my dogs.
About: Animals are one of God’s sweetest gifts, and it’s truly a joy to help them feel loved, safe, and happy. I’ve cared for horses, dogs, cats, and chickens since 2010. I enjoy Rover because it gives me the flexibility to do meaningful work while taking care of other personal and business needs. Animals bring so much joy and grounding to my days, and I love being able to pass that care and attention along to your pets. 📅 My Scheduled Availability • Mon–Fri: 8 a.m. – 8:30 p.m. • Weekends: Flexible for repeat clients only when available and in town. *Of course if you have a special request, outside of these hours, please reach out and I will accommodate as able. 💡 Booking Policy: • Bookings accepted 1 month at a time. • Rates may adjust monthly as my availability changes. • Once you’re a repeat client, your rate is locked in for that month so you’re guaranteed consistency. 🔒 Your pet’s safety and your peace of mind are always my top priorities. I double-check doors and gates are secure, follow all entry/exit instructions, and handle keys and codes with care. For pets, I make sure toys are safe, waste is cleaned up and disposed of properly, and weather conditions are always considered so they stay comfortable. 📦 As an extra courtesy, I’ll bring in packages left at the door and am happy to take out trash if requested while I’m there. 🚮 I also respect your home environment. I only access what’s necessary for your pet’s care and always treat your space with professionalism and respect. I understand many homes have cameras, and I maintain that same level of professionalism at all times.
“Jo was such a great caretaker for Ripley. We needed a last minute dogsitter for our holiday weekend and Jo really came through. Ripley is disabled and high anxiety, but Jo really made her feel at home. Frequent photo updates, detailed potty and medication schedule. I would trust Jo with Ripley any time!”
“Elizabeth was fantastic! We have senior dogs and sometimes they need a little extra help. She communicated everything through the duration of our booking and sent pictures of all our pets. She truly cares for your pets so I would definitely recommend her services.”
“Callie did amazing work it’s our three pups. She communicated quickly and clearly, followed all of my very lengthy instructions, and best of all, our oldest loves her which says a lot! Will absolutely be using her again for our next trip!”
“Absolutely loved having June watch our dog she took such good care of Molly and went above and beyond!! She’s so kind and loving and I could tell really loves animals! She stayed at our place with Molly and left the house cleaner than we even left it! Absolutely would recommend and couldn’t love her more!!”
“Shelby is truly an absolute gem! We came home to a happy, well cared for dog, and she even went above and beyond to make Samson more comfortable while we were away. After having several pet sitters over Samson’s nine years, Shelby is by far the best we’ve had. She is attentive, thoughtful, reliable, and genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. It was also a super last minute request due to an emergency with the sitter we had arranged prior. We are so happy she was available. It gave us such peace of mind knowing he was in such loving hands. We are so grateful for her and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional pet sitter.”
“Hannah was amazing. This was our first time leaving for an extended period of time, and our first time using Rover. Hannan was on top of everything and made sure we got constant updates. She will be our first choice from now on!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Denton
Jessie has stayed with our pup twice now. She is a lovely house guest. Our home is in great condition when we get home, the mail is collected, but most of all our dog is happy. Jessie makes sure to keep our dog’s routine and administers medication daily. She gives us lots of updates and its easy to tell she knows and loves our dog. She is am excellent choice and we look forward to using her again.
Elizabeth was fantastic! We have senior dogs and sometimes they need a little extra help. She communicated everything through the duration of our booking and sent pictures of all our pets. She truly cares for your pets so I would definitely recommend her services.
Jo did a great job with my very demanding wobbly cat. She frequently has accidents peeing over the side of the litter box while attempting to hold herself steady. She will not use the litter box at all unless it has just been scooped. I have trouble myself getting rid of the smells from these accidents, but I came home to a very clean litter box and no accident stains or smells. She was also immediately friendly and not skiddish like she has been when left in the past.
This was the 1st time in a long time to be away from our 3 kids. Ashley was great. She send pictures of our fur babies and made sure they were taken care of. The acid test was when we returned. Betty did not want Ashley to leave! Looking forward to having her for our next outing.
Hannah was great to communicate with and was able to jump in last minute to spend all day with our golden retriever in our home. We received many photo/video updates and Milk seemed to have really enjoyed spending time with her! She was very respectful to our home, and we will definitely be booking with her again.

The average cost of House Sitting in Denton is $40 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $78 per night.

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 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.
