“Elizabeth was absolutely perfect. We hit it off from the time she came for the meet and greet. I could tell that she was going to be a perfect fit to care for Nola!! We would highly recommend her and will use her again.”
About: I am the family member to go to when you need a dog sitter when you are going out of town. I always dog sit sometimes i even offer to do so for fun. I have always had a bond with animals. I grew up having a lot of dogs. My bond with animals especially dogs is amazing. Not only do i love them but they love me too. Im responsible and would be a wonderful candidate for you. Making sure i have a great bond with every single one of your furry friends is indeed my goal. My love for animals is beyond this world. Im very energetic so play time wouldn’t be a problem at all. Making sure the animals are healthy physically and mentally is a priority as well.
“Gary was great with Lilith! I could tell that she had a really fun time playing with him. I got so many good pictures from Gary and he was very communicative and responsive. Definitely recommend him to anyone and will keep his contact for when we need him in the future.”
“Lisa was extremely helpful and communicative with our elder baby, she came to meet and greet her before the booking and was very happy to care for our dog. Will definitely contact her again on another babysitting opportunity!”
About: I was raised in a rural area with 10 acres of land, and we have always had pets. I've always had a furry child; there has never been a moment in my life without one. I've had the pleasure of raising a variety of dogs throughout the years, as well as two cats. I now have a well-behaved, two-year-old black Lab named Jake. When he was just a tiny puppy, I started training him. He continues to pick up new skills despite having many masteries. I have given Jake all of his training and skills, and even though I have some training expertise, I am not a certified trainer. Jake and I spend a lot of time exercising because we enjoy being outside. Some days, we take a quick lap or two around the block, and others we go for a lengthier walk on the trails! I am a rule-follower, and your pet's health, happiness, and safety are always my top priorities. I am available for drop-in visits (bathroom breaks and feedings), walks, and baths (no grooming). If there is any way I can assist you with your furbabies, kindly let me know! I work three days a week at my full-time job and go to college full-time. I spend a lot of time at home and have time for walks, exercise, baths, and drop-in visits for potty breaks, feedings or check in on your fur babies. I am currently unable to accept any pets for boarding or home-sitting for more than a few hours due to my work and academic commitments. Your pets will be treated the same way I treat mine: as members of the family. At times, my Jake virtually owns the home! While I do let my baby sit on my furniture, I will always abide by your house's pet-related rules. Just make sure to let me know what they are so I can make sure we're acting properly. Currently, I am not available at this time for pet boarding. I do charge for pet baths and it's arranged by weight. Rover only lets me set one price for all and I don't charge one price for all dogs. Please message me if you're interested in having your pet washed and ill tell you my price based on their size/weight.
About: I have taken care of my moms friends dogs and cats since 7. Friends and family relied on me for taking care of their pets. I’m a part time student. I only go to classes 2 times a week on Tuesday’s and Thursday’s. I would love taking care of your pets during my free times. When I’m at a clients home and I let them outside I will keep a eye on them and play with them. I’ll make sure they are safe and sound.
About: I love all kinds of dogs and their playfull nature!I normally walk for 30 minutes or more on a regular so if your dog needs a nice walk in definitely built for it! I have access to someone that has experience dog grooming so if your dog needs a good wash I can provide that as well. I'm pretty open to request so if you need something all you have to do is ask and we can work something out. If your dog likes attention I have kids that love dogs that will help wear out any high energy dogs and I don't mind going to some open fields and having the open run around till their hearts content. I would love to create some regular customers but if you only want to try me out I'm more then ok with that!
“Armani is such a blessing! She loved on our little baby while we were on a family vacation after our sitter canceled last minute. She cleaned him and care for him like he was her own. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND ARMANI AND I PERSONALLY WILL HIRE HER AGAIN!!!!”
About: Caring for animals is my passion, and I have been providing dedicated pet care for over 10 years. I prioritize the comfort and happiness of every pet, treating them as if they were my own, and ensuring a safe, stimulating, and consistent routine. I manage the needs of high-energy breeds with active play and outings, maintain a clean and secure environment, and am vigilant in observing any signs of distress or health changes. I am CPR and First Aid trained. In emergencies, I remain calm, follow pre-discussed plans, and always have emergency contact information readily available. Witnessing their unique personalities and helping shy pets feel comfortable brings me joy. My kindness and empathy make me a great fit for caring for your beloved companions.

Date night, work, sleep, jus need a break I’m here to help with your pets and would love the opportunity. Fenced in yard, treats and food , safe and clean house, plenty of toys and treats and care and anything extra they may need. Thanks
About: I grew up with cats my whole life. My family and I have fostered many cats and helped them find loving homes. I have four of my own fur babies with very different personalities and ages. They have dietary restrictions and preferences so I’m experienced with separating them during meal times. I specially have one that’s very greedy so I know the patience it requires when they start coming at the food while preparing it. When it comes to litter boxes I’m used to cleaning all types of litters and even the litter robots. I’ll take care of your babies as my own. Pet care fits into my weekly routine from anytime. I can make your schedule work since this is my full time job. Let me know what works best for you. I provide attention and care by following each cats routine, including feeding, fresh water, playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of affection. I also keep their environment clean, safe, and comfortable.
About: Hello there and welcome to my page! I am a CPR/First-Aid Certified Petcare Provider, with an additional certification in Canine, Feline, and Equine Massage Therapy. I am also a Foster with Dallas Animal Services and took several pet care classes in order to obtain that title. In total, I have 12 years of experience caring for dogs, ranging from puppies to senior dogs. I have always adored all dogs and love to give them the attention and proper care that they need. Being a lifelong dog owner, I developed a close-knit bond with all breeds of dogs. I have open availaibilty and am available full or part-time to care for your dog. While your dog is in my care, I will provide engaging activities that let the dog(s) get their energy out and plan fun, tailored activities your dog will love! I can teach dog tricks such as “lay”, “high-five”, “rollover”, and “fetch/retrieve.” I love to play frisbee, tug-of-war, teach new tricks/commands, and anything that will give your dog an opportunity to be outdoors knowing that that is what they desire and need. I am ready and eager to provide exceptional care to all pets! Message me to learn how you can get $20 off your first booking with me! I have full-time, flexible Summer availability as well as weekend/short-notice care. During the Fall, I will have part-time availability to care for pets after 5pm. Your dog will be in the best of hands. I incorporate frequent potty breaks, stimulating outdoor play, engaging activities, training (puppy, basic, intermediate, and advanced), as well as grooming services by request.
About: Hello, I am so excited to have a new friend in your pet!!! My name is April and I love cats and dogs but I don't have any of my own. I love dog sitting and walking them too. I'm working from home at the moment and getting out to walk a dog is just what I need to keep me sane. I have a few families that I sit for on the regular and the dogs have become like friends. My schedule is pretty flexible so if you have any questions let me know. I have my own vehicle and do not work my regular jobs on the weekdays so this works out perfect for me. Can't wait to meet you and your fur babies and cats.
“She was very good with communicating with me regarding how the visit was going and sent lots of pictures. She was very nice and followed all of the directions that I provided. Will be booking with her again!! :)”
About: I have cared for dogs all my life from puppies less than a month old to 100 pound dogs, from low maintenance to high maintenance and rare breeds. I have experience working at a dog training and boarding facility, and happy to train your pets during my time with them. I also have experience with exotic pets such as chinchillas, chickens, lizards, etc. I love chilling and playing with relaxed animals in their home and cuddling as well as very active lifestyle dogs as I love to hike, and everything in between. I also have provided end of life comfort care for senior animals to give them dignity in their last times and give them a happy experience. As well as medication treatment for pills, no experience in shots. You can trust me with your family as I will be sure to treat them as my own. I work full time from home in Dallas and inside a venue in Irving. My hours are really weird due to the industry I work in as it completely frees up my mornings and afternoons. I work in live entertainment and I am only out of my home at night, never later than 10pm. I also have a great team of employees that I am easily able to take off time with little notice in case of bookings that need more one on ones at home and do my work fully from home. I love my job and industry as I have a lot of flexibility and free time when most people work. I have experience with reactive dogs and escape artists. If I’m in an unknown environment I make sure to take extra care and precaution about any possible what if situations and take in my surroundings alone without the animals before I take them to point out any pain points or any blind spots. I will never let any animal out even in a fenced in backyard unsupervised because I know accidents can always happen. My own dog at home is very reactive and I have a lot of experience on redirecting and heavy pulling, as he’s a 90 pound dog who likes to walk you than the other way around. Also working at a boarding and training facility I have experience in stopping fights and the signs to look out for before an attack is imminent. My entire life as a pet parent I have prided myself in recognizing those signs either on the street or at dog parks. I know how much it would devastate me if my pet was hurt even in an accident, that I make it my duty for you to trust me with your family in my care and never have to worry about it.
“This is the third time I placed my baby Zeus in Aniyah's care and she was wonderful! She's always punctual, sends numerous photos, and always goes above and beyond to put your mind at ease while you're away. I will definitely continue depending on her to care for Zeus.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - DeSoto
Amanda was absolutely wonderful with our puppy, Penni! She was on time for every visit, followed all of our instructions perfectly, and was so great about keeping us updated and sending pictures. She took such good care of Penni with her potty breaks, lunch, and playtime, and we felt completely comfortable knowing she was in good hands. You can tell Amanda has a lot of experience with animals and genuinely cares about them. We will definitely be booking with her again!

The average cost of Dog Sitting in DeSoto is $18 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $22 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.

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 DeSoto 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 .
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 , 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 .
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.

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 , 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.
