“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.”
“Nita allowed us to enjoy our time away from our fur babies. She took such great care of them and our house. Nita took them on long walks on her own without us asking her. She brought them sweet potato treats as well. She is awesome and we’ll be asking her to help us out again on our next vacation.”
“Rebecca was so attentive and communicative. She was very patient with Wally being anxious. She was able to handle Wally on a leash! I’d recommend Rebecca for house sitting anytime and will definitely ask her to watch Wally in the future.”
“Fernanda was absolutely amazing with our blind dog, Callie! I truly cannot say enough good things about her. We felt completely at ease, and throughout the stay she kept us updated with constant photos, messages, and detailed updates. It was so clear that Callie was happy, loved, and incredibly well cared for! We will be booking Fernanda again in a heartbeat! If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, caring and communicative, look no further. Thank you, Fernanda!”
“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!”
About: Hi! I’m Roxana, and I’d love to welcome your pup into our home and care for them like they’re part of our family. 🤍 Get $20 off your first Rover booking with the link below: https://www.rover.com/sit/roxanr15345 I joined Rover because, honestly, I’d love to have a second dog someday! Until that time comes, we’re happy to open our home to pups who need a safe, loving place to stay while their humans are away. We especially love dogs who are affectionate, playful, and have a little more energy. Walks, playtime, cuddles, and plenty of attention are all things we genuinely enjoy. We live near a park, so there are lots of opportunities for walks and getting some energy out. Walks are always done with a secure harness, and we have two fully fenced yards where dogs can safely enjoy some outdoor time. We always supervise dogs while they’re in the yard. Our home is set up to make visiting pups feel comfortable. We have extra dog beds, bowls, and treats (with your permission!), and dogs are welcome to relax with us throughout the day. We also love bringing dogs along for car rides when we’re running errands. If your pup is happiest being included in the action, they’ll fit right in here. I’ve had both cats and dogs throughout my life and have cared for pets for friends and family as well. Every dog is different, and I take the time to learn their routine, personality, quirks, preferences, and what makes them feel most comfortable. Whether your pup needs lots of activity, a quiet place to decompress, extra cuddles, or a little bit of everything, my goal is for them to feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Your dog isn’t just staying at our house, they’re staying with us. 🐾🤍 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. Dogs never go into public spaces without a harness and leash.
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.
“Lisa did a super job taking care of our two large dogs while we were away. She sent daily updates with photos. It made our vacation so much more enjoyable knowing our fur babies were in good hands. Highly recommend!”
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 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. I would love to use my pet-sitting, walking, and grooming skills to care for your dogs and cats! Available any time or day. 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
“Samantha took care of my babies for 10 days. She was reliable, followed instructions & took really great care of them and my home while house sitting. Just booked her for a few weeks from now! ❤️ thank you again”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was very young both big and small. My oldest dog passed at 16 years old so I have experience with senior pets. Calm and energetic, young and old, big and small I’ve done it all! I have a full time job but 3 days off a week (Sunday, Monday, Tuesday). I can come yours or they can come to mine. I do live in a pet friendly apartment which offers a dog park for your fur baby to run and play. I currently have no pets as my sole pup recently passed tragically so pets needing solo care (no other animals) is no issue. I have a large and smaller crate is that is something needed as well as food, treats, brushes, and shampoos for bathing.
“Dylan was fantastic! We felt completely comfortable knowing our dogs were in his care. He was reliable, communicative, attentive, and clearly made an effort to keep them happy and comfortable while we were away. We really appreciated the updates and the peace of mind he gave us. We’d absolutely book with Dylan again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.”
“Alina was so great! She was able to squeeze in my dogs at the last minute. I am SO grateful for her care during my time away. I decided to do something new and leave the dogs at home and she dropped by a few times a day to let them out and feed/water. She’s incredibly sweet and I’ll be booking with her again. Thank you! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

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.

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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!

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 .
