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: Hello! My name is Hannah and I adore interacting with and caring for fun-loving pets! I have taken care of multiple dogs and cats in my neighborhood, and enjoyed every minute of it. I have experience sitting for various animals, including sick pets who required medical care (vaccinations/shots, medications, etc.). I also have experience housesitting over extended periods of time. My goal is to give your pet as much love and attention as they deserve. Let me know if you are interested! I am currently working part-time, though my schedule is flexible and varies day-to-day. I will have plenty of time to look after your loving animals! I will make sure your dog or cat is properly fed and walked, has had lots of cuddles and love, and has company in the event of an overnight stay!

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.

Thank you Laura we appreciate you more than you know.”
“Querhea was great house and dogsitting our 3 furbabies while we were our of town for a few days. She arrived on time, provided photos and regular updates during her stay. Our home was neat and clean when we got home just like we had left it. She made sure to clean up the yard from dogs' as requested and she even took the trash out from her stay. We greatly appreciate her and the great care she provided our furbabies. We will use her again for future dogsitter needs. Thank you Querhea.”
“Amber did a great job with both our pups and house. She was always on time and delivered as she promised. Our pups were well taken care of the house was left exactly as we left it. Amber will remain on the top of our list in the future.”
“Deanna is my go-to sitter. She's amazing with my fur babies and takes wonderful care of my home. I can't sing her praises enough. I had one sad pug sitting by the doorway mourning the departure of his one source of love and treats. Although a little jealous, I am grateful that she makes my boy ungrateful for my attention.”
“Our senior Great Dane had a wonderful time with Dylan! Dylan took great care of him and the house and made sure we had updates to let ease our worries about your sweet boy. Thanks Dylan!! We will use Dylan again!”
“Natalie is beyond amazing! It was my first time doing an in-house sitting and she made sure I was at ease during the process. She took care of my babies so well! I’m definitely using her again and I highly recommend her! She goes above and beyond!!!”
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.

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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Duncanville is $44 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $26 and $68 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 4,379 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 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 Duncanville. 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.
