“We couldn’t be happier with Cassie’s care of our home and dogs while we were away! We have two middle-aged dogs and a puppy, and each of them was clearly well loved and cared for—happy, relaxed, and full of energy when we returned. Cassie went above and beyond in keeping our house spotless; in fact, it was cleaner than when we left, which is saying a lot given all the rain during our trip. It gave us such peace of mind knowing both our pets and our home were in such capable hands. Cassie is responsible, attentive, and truly wonderful—we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“Winta, as always, did an exceptional job taking care of our two furry children. She even had to deal with a random broken claw and handled it all calmly and lovingly. She's a tremendous sitter and will care for our pets like her own. Highly recommended!”

About: Hi! I’m Roxana, and I’d love to care for your pet like they’re part of our family 🤍 Get $20 off your first Rover booking with the link below. https://www.rover.com/sit/roxanr15345 My husband Eric and I share our home with Sophie, our sweet 9-year-old Yorkie, who plays a big role in our pet-loving household. Sophie is an 8 lb rescue we adopted, she came to us anxious and unsure, and through patience, consistency, and lots of love, she’s grown into an affectionate, playful, and calm companion. That experience taught us so much about building trust with animals and meeting them where they are. We’ve even taught Sophie fun tricks like sit, shake, high-five, and roll over—proof that with the right approach, every dog can learn and thrive! In addition to caring for Sophie, I’ve had both cats and dogs over the years and have also looked after pets for friends and family. I’m attentive, patient, and genuinely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and needs. Inside, pets are truly part of the family—whether that’s lounging on the couch or winding down before bedtime. We do ask that you bring a kennel or crate so your pet has a familiar, secure space to relax. I take the time to learn your pet’s routine, preferences, and personality so they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! ✨ My schedule is flexible! I work from home 2–3 days a week (and even more during the holidays), which allows me to give your pet plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship. I’m happy to work with you to accommodate your pet’s routine. ✨ Safety & Comfort First Your pet’s safety and trust are my top priorities. We have a large fenced backyard for safe outdoor play, and I always supervise time outside. Sophie is never out front without a harness and leash, and we extend that same level of care to every pet we host.
“Ty provided exceptional care for our dogs, demonstrating genuine love and understanding of their needs. His regular updates and photos helped ease our worries while we were away. Knowing that both our high-energy and reactive dogs were well cared for and enjoyed their time with him is invaluable. Will definitely be booking with Ty again!”
“Tammy is an amazing sitter, my pup Toby had a great time with her! She helped us out in an emergency/last minute situation and we are so grateful to have found her.”
About: I've had a number of animals since the age of 4. From birds, and fish to Cats, dogs, and rabbits! I have always had a cat or dog in my home and I LOVE ANIMALS!!! I have house sat & boarded pets for 8 years now for friends, family, and neighbors. I treat them like my own and ensure that they're fed, get walked, lots of rubs, and everything I can to keep their usual routine! I'm currently not working and want to do something I love to stay busy. I have an open schedule to handle all your pets needs. I stay in a very spacious 3 bedroom home with yard space where they have plenty of room to roam. There are also parks near to release their energy. I currently have an open schedule. I always update my schedule to reflect any changes. I am very flexible at the moment. Once I have a pet job in place I try to focus on the pet/pets. It honestly depends on the animal. Different animals react differently with new people and different environments. If there's a shy dog, I like to let them come to me and lead with a gentle and dismissive approach. I would encourage them to play or come for pets, but I would not force it because that is not their comfort level. Another may be a big ball of energy and thrive on fun, pets, and praise. I like to make sure they're comfortable and happy.
“Azia was great with our Australian Shepherd! She was well cared for and obviously given lots of attention. Azia also communicated with us regularly about how our pup was doing. We’d love to have her watch Millie again!”
“Lisa watched our dog Beau for 2 weeks while we were out of the country. This is the third time she has watched him and she is fantastic! She not only gave him 2 walks a day, but also went next door to get Ruby (Beau’s bestie) for a walk too! She is very accommodating to our requests and very quick to respond to our questions. Her paw reports are daily and detailed with pictures too! She even got him a scratch board to help with his nails!!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Duncanville
Mario was a great help to us, and we are very thankful for the care he provided. We are new to the United States and to Dallas, and since we travel frequently, we were hoping to build a trusted relationship with someone who could help care for our dogs when we are away. After the initial meet and greet, we immediately noticed that both of our dogs, a German Shepherd and a Shih Tzu, were very comfortable having Mario around, which gave us a lot of confidence. Mario came to our home at the requested time and made sure to spend time with the dogs, helping them feel comfortable and settled after we left for our trip. Since he works from home, he was available most of the time, which was very reassuring for us. He also kept us updated daily, which we really appreciated. He followed their regular routine, took them for three walks each day, and made sure they were well cared for throughout his stay. When we returned, our dogs were happy, energetic, and clearly comfortable, which meant a lot to us. Mario also kept the room clean and left everything just as we had left it. We would be very happy to have Mario help us again in the future.

FAQs for House Sitting - Duncanville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Duncanville on Rover is $47.73 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 4,607 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Duncanville. 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 Duncanville 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 Duncanville 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 Duncanville 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.

- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
