“Angela did great with our bulldog! She stayed over at my house for a weekend and left the house as clean as when we left. She followed instructions very well and sent great updates throughout the day. She also reached out when she was concerned about our dog’s allergies and that was extremely kind of her! Would definitely book again!”

“Cassandra was amazing. She was so patient with my rambunctious pup and gave him lots of play time. She also was very attentive to my older dog and tended to her anxiety during storms that came through during her stay. Cassandra was very responsive, sent me detailed daily texts and photos. I know my dogs loved her because she told me how they cuddled with her. I highly recommend her and will definitely hire Cassandra again for my housesitting needs.”


About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals and grew up surrounded by dogs and cats that I adored and cared for. Over the years, I’ve also had the opportunity to care for friends’ pets whenever they needed a helping hand. One of my most meaningful experiences was caring for a former client’s dog for four years before she passed away. That experience taught me just how important patience, consistency, companionship, and treating every pet like family truly are. I understand that every animal has their own personality, needs, and routines, and I’m committed to providing loving, attentive care while giving pet parents peace of mind. I work part-time, which gives me the flexibility to spend quality time caring for your pets. 🐾 I’m available after 6 PM on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, and I’m happy to keep your pets company and give them lots of love and attention until you’re home. I’m also available for overnight boarding on weekends. Whether your pet needs some extra cuddles, playtime, or simply a calm and loving presence, I’d be happy to be there for them while you’re away! 🧡🐶🐱 I provide care in your home, where your pets are already comfortable and familiar with their surroundings. I’ll follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, playtime, walks, cuddles, and any other care they need. My goal is to give your pets plenty of love and attention while keeping them happy, comfortable, and feeling at ease while you’re away.
“Armani was fabulous!!! She helped us out very last minute when we were in a bind, sent great updates with pictures and took care of our baby when she had an accident. We definitely recommend Armani and plan on rebooking in the future!”

“Antuan did a great job taking care of our dog Cooper! We needed a house sitter last minute and he was able to help us out! During our trip AnTuan sent some funny and cute pics of our furry friend :) overall great experience.”

About: I’ve lived with dogs my whole life, I’ve cared, helped, and loved for 10 dogs at one time. I trained, bathed, feed and provided all basic. I’ve had more than a dozen dogs who’ve been pregnant (not at once) but I do know how to care for a pregnant momma and new born puppies. I’m well aware of the do’s and don’ts of pet sitting. Monday - Friday, 6:00pm to midnight longer if needed. Saturday I’m free all day, I’m free Sunday in the morning until 10am and available after 1pm to the rest of the day I feed, bathe, and give them water and take care of all basic necessities. I take them on walks and to the park and give them lots of cuddles! :D
About: Hey there! I’ve been pet sitting for over a decade and have experience caring for animals of all kinds—whether they have fur, feathers, or scales. While I primarily care for dogs and cats, I’m also very comfortable with birds, reptiles, and other non-traditional pets. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy building trust with every animal I care for. If you have a unique pet or specific needs, I’d be happy to help! Though I work full time, I involve pet care in my every day routine. If I'm up, they're up, if I'm outside, they're outside. I live an active lifestyle. I incorporate them in my daily life, so if they are a dog that enjoys walking, I incorporate that into my routine. If they’re a couch potato then we will be couch potatoes together.

About: I’ve been the primary caregiver for my own dog for 11 years, handling daily walks, feeding, grooming, medications, and vet visits. I’ve also cared for family members’ and friends dogs with a variety of needs, ages, and personalities. In addition, I’m an active member of Texas A&M LEIAS, a women’s organization founded on leadership, academics, and service with a strong focus on animal rescue. This involvement has strengthened my sense of responsibility, patience, and commitment to providing attentive, compassionate pet care. As a college student, I’m very organized with my time, and pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I plan my schedule around classes to ensure pets receive consistent walks, feedings, playtime, and attention. I’m committed to maintaining each pet’s normal routine and can be flexible to accommodate specific needs, whether that’s daily check-ins, extended care, or overnight stays. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I carefully follow all owner instructions, keep pets secure, and monitor behavior and health closely. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I strive to create a calm, structured, and loving environment. My involvement in LEIAS and animal rescue–focused service has reinforced the importance of accountability, compassion, and treating every pet with the same care I’d want for my own.
“Bridget is a kind, energetic, conscientious caretaker! Lucy has never been so relaxed when we arrived home. We booked immediately after her interview which was about a month out. Bridget requested coming back over to walk Lucy a week before our trip so Lucy would be more comfortable when we left. Bridget wanted to arrive at our home early so that she’d have some time with Lucy while we were still here. She also stayed until we arrived home to give us a report of how the stay went. While we were gone, Bridget sent us several photos of Lucy. Bridget is a true professional and a huge animal lover. Lucy is a senior dog that requires medication. Bridget didn’t hesitate. We would highly recommend her services. In fact, we are already rebooking!”

“Katherine was very communicative and very helpful taking care of my senior cat while I was gone. She would send at least 2-3 messages each day, with pictures, which was very helpful when I was missing her. I look forward to working with her again in the future!”

About: Will provide all necessary care for your dogs needs. I’m married no children , have had pets all my life and I dog sit for my friends for years why not get paid for what I love to do. I had a cocker for 13 years, American Bulldog, and English Bulldog, current have a English Bulldog puppy. I am also in the medical field and will be able to handle emergencies if they happen. I don’t believe in animal cruelty and I feel sometimes people need to get out or have to run errands and the dogs shouldn’t have to be locked up when they can be loved on while the owners handle business. This is something I enjoy and not trying to get rich.

“Eboni handled my pets very well! I have a mini pig who is constantly testing and needs lots of attention and firm instruction and Eboni handled it very well and I came home to a very happy pig. She also cared for my chickens well. Eboni is a quick learner and respects the rules you have for your pets and your home and gives them lots of love and attention. She is also someone I was very comfortable leaving alone in my home and left things neat and clean after a few days pet sitting. I highly recommend her.”

About: I am a fourth-year medical student at UT Southwestern, preparing to graduate and begin residency. Over the past 2–3 years, I have gained hands-on experience caring for dogs, primarily helping my roommates by looking after their pets while they are away. My responsibilities have included feeding, walking, providing companionship, and making sure their dogs feel comfortable and well cared for. As a medical student, I understand the importance of responsibility, attention to detail, and clear communication. I take these qualities seriously and bring the same level of dedication to caring for pets. I know how important it is to trust someone with a member of your family, so I prioritize following instructions, maintaining routines, and providing regular updates to give owners peace of mind. Whether it’s taking your dog on a walk, keeping them company, or caring for them while you’re away, my goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and positive experience for both you and your pet! As a fourth-year medical student approaching graduation, I currently have a very flexible schedule with plenty of free time throughout the week, including weekdays and weekends. With a lighter academic workload during my final year, I am looking to make the most of my free time by pursuing pet sitting as both an enjoyable hobby and an opportunity to earn some extra income. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and would love to use this flexibility to help pet owners who need someone reliable and caring. I am available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I am happy to work around your pet’s routine and specific needs! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities! I currently live in a condo that provides a comfortable, clean, and safe indoor environment where your fur baby will be welcomed and cared for. Our community also has a gated dog yard where dogs can safely play, exercise, and take care of their business under my supervision. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and specific needs, so I make it a priority to follow each owner’s instructions closely, whether that involves feeding schedules, walks, medications, or other preferences. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I am equally committed to respecting their space and maintaining their pet’s normal routine. As a fourth-year medical student, I value responsibility, attention to detail, and clear communication. I am always happy to provide regular updates and pictures so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is safe, comfortable, and receiving plenty of love and attention while you’re away!

Nevaeh was absolutely wonderful with Remington! It’s clear that Remington adores her, and seeing the sweet photo updates of them cuddling together and bonding made me feel so comfortable knowing Remington was in great hands. I truly appreciate the care and attention Nevaeh gave Remington. I would happily book Nevaeh again and highly recommend her! 🤩⭐️✨💗🐾

This was my first time leaving my dogs with anyone besides family and safe to say I was extremely nervous. However, Dakota made me feel comfortable and kept me updated every day that I was gone. My babies and my apartment were well taken care of. I will definitely be hiring him again. Thank you Dakota!

Alexis was able to take care of my kitties at the last minute. One of my cats is on a medication that he needs to take daily at the same time and Alexis was able to do it with no problem. Both of them seemed like they had a good time with her while I was away when I got back. Definitely will work with her in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in DeSoto is $32 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $47 per night. 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 3,892 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across DeSoto. 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 DeSoto 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 DeSoto 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 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!
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in DeSoto. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
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.
