“Excellent sitter. On time kept us informed on how things were going and very friendly and dependable. Wouldn’t hesitate to welcome. Lanka back whenever we are in town.”
“Nita R. Is PHENOMENAL! She took SUCH good care of my new puppy Dash, and I am so grateful. We didn’t want to leave him crated the whole day, since he was new to our home, and Nita treated him with such gentle care. Will ABSOLUTELY use her again!”
“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!”
About: Fur babies are family! They need love and patience. Growing up I had a Pekingese for 13 years and then a poodle mix for 12 years. So I learned at an early age the responsibility of caring for the family pet. My first adult pet was a mini lob rabbit which I had for 10 years. It had some medical issues in which required regular care from the local vet. A few years ago I was introduced to Great Danes and immediately fell in love! Zoe, my twelve year old Dane lived her best life. She went to parks, family gatherings, car rides, camping. She passed away last year at the age of 12 1/2. I am not ready for another pet just yet and now that I have some free time I would love to give others the sense of security by playing, loving and caring for their pet. I'm recently retired and have a flexible schedule. With that flexibility I have the opportunity to check on your pets or provide over night care with short notices. I have a fenced yard with lots of room for your pet to lay in the sun, run, stretch and play! For over night stays a crate might be beneficial depending on your pets behavior and comfort. For day to day visits I will respect your property and pet and follow your guidelines to ensure our pet friendly visit is successful.
“Bertha is amazing! Hands down the only person I will trust Gatsby to. She sent me messages and photos each day and I was able to FaceTime. I felt more at ease knowing he was having a good time. The sweetest person ever.”
“Rebecca did a great job with Anisa and Cairo while I was out of town for the week. Park trips, walks, some swim time and Pictures. :). Already looking at booking her again for my next trip.”
“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!”
“Dakota stayed in our home and took excellent care of our pets. I received updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. He worked with our challenging Doberdane to make her comfortable with him. He is reliable, communicative, and clearly loves animals. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a responsible and kind pet sitter.”
“Winta is always the best!! She takes great care of our pups, always sends updates with pictures and videos and always leaves our house cleaned up and ready for us when we return! We will always book with her for all of our trips! Truly 5 stars and I would give her more if that was an option!”

“Lilli was super sweet, listened to all our many requests, and our pups loved her! We booked somewhat last minute because of a day trip, and she made us feel very comfortable with leaving our pups in her care. Will book again! Thank you Lilli!”
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.
About: I have five+ years of experience in boarding, dog walking, daycare, and drop-ins. I've taken care of dogs of different breeds, sizes, and shapes. Many friends, family members, and neighbors have trusted me multiple times to look after their pets while they were away. Please allow me the pleasure of welcoming and caring for your pet! As a full-time worker, I have weekends and flexible hours after 5 pm during the weekdays. Despite this short stay, I guarantee that your pet will have a wonderful time with me. My hours of availability are after 5 pm on weekdays for drop-in visits and dog walking. On weekends, I am available for drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting for your convenience while you are away from home, knowing that your pets are in good hands. Every Saturday, I am available for drop-in visits and dog walking from 9 am to 4 pm, and every Sunday from 2 pm to 4 pm I am available for house-sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking. Have a need for my services? My schedule does not fit yours? I am open to arranging changes in the schedule to meet you and your pet's needs. When I am a house sitter or drop-in visitor at a client's home, I will follow all detailed instructions left by the client so the pet is safe. I will contact the client when I will be arriving at their home. I will keep in contact with them when an event occurs. As soon as I finish my time with your pet, I will notify the client of the time I will be leaving their home. Keeping great communication with the client helps ensure that everything goes smoothly. I will also ask about the pet and his/her needs. The owner can tell me, for instance, if their dog can be socialized with another dog or any behaviors to be watched during the walk. I will follow safety guidelines to make sure the pet remains safe during the walk, which includes sidewalk and street crossing safety. My first step is to ask the owner if they allow their pet to visit a dog park. I will ensure that I follow all dog park safety regulations, and always keep an eye on the dog to ensure no harm comes to them while in my care. As a professional, I want clients to know that their pets are in good hands whenever I work with them
“We had a wonderful experience with Katherine caring for Charlie! From the beginning, communication was excellent, and it was clear that Charlie was in caring and capable hands. We appreciated the updates, photos, and attention given to his needs while we were away. Charlie was happy, relaxed, and well cared for, which gave us great peace of mind. It’s not always easy leaving your pet with someone else, but this experience exceeded our expectations. We would absolutely book again and highly recommend Katherine to other pet parents looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely caring.”
“Ngina took very good care of our fur babies, she sent plenty of pictures during her stay and I made us feel very comfortable. We will be reaching out to Ngina again.”
“Claudia is absolutely fantastic! She stayed with my two dogs while we were out of town for 4 days. Each morning and evening she sent an update on how everything was going. She sent photos and in the evening a cute video recap! One of our dogs is a senior who is not eating every meal any more, and Claudia was great at monitoring how much he ate and even took his food bowl upstairs to him to encourage him to eat when he needed to. Our house looked great when we came home as well. Claudia is an amazing pet and house sitter and I absolutely recommend her! Thank you Claudia!”
About: While I’m new to professional pet sitting, I’ve cared for a family member’s dogs and cats on several occasions. I’ve helped with feeding, walks, playtime, and keeping litter boxes clean, always making sure they felt comfortable and well cared for while their owner was away. I’m responsible, attentive, and truly enjoy spending time with animals, and I’m committed to providing safe and dependable care. As a college student, I only have classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 11 AM–2 PM, which gives me a very flexible schedule throughout the week. Outside of those hours and my part-time job, I have plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins, and quality time with your pets. I plan my days carefully to ensure pets receive consistent care, attention, and timely feedings, so you can feel confident they’re in reliable hands. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I stick closely to their usual routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I make sure they receive timely feedings, fresh water, walks, playtime, and lots of attention while keeping their space clean and tidy. I don’t currently have a pet of my own, so my home is a calm environment, and I’m able to accommodate small to medium-sized dogs. My goal is always to provide safe, attentive, and loving care.
“Isaiah was wonderful with Waffles! She felt comfortable jumping right up in his lap and hanging out right alongside him the entire time they spent together. The updates were great, I'll be requesting him to keep Waffles company in the future!”
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!
“Lisa has the sweetest soul, and my dogs just naturally gravitate towards her. I left for 3 days and did not worry once because of how detailed and thorough Lisa was with all of her updates, including pictures and videos of the doggos. They were in great hands and were so happy to go on long walks multiple times a day. One of my dogs even needed to be hand-fed because she is a princess like that, and Lisa hand-fed her food like a champ! The other dog has stomach and joint issues so is on a very strict (and complicated) diet, but Lisa followed all instructions to the T, and I am just so thankful for her. Thank you for being the best dog sitter a girl can ask for, Lisa!”

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 $44.95 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 4,763 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Duncanville. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
