“Ashley has a very calm demeanor. My dogs warmed up to her very quickly, and they tend to be anxious around strangers. We felt very comfortable leaving our home and fur babies in her care. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Brooke took great care of Sadie & Winston! She was wonderful to work with and scheduled a Meet & Greet prior to our trip to review details about pet care and our house. Brooke was a good communicator and sent photos and updates each day. We would definitely book Brooke again and recommend her to others.”
“Ryan is really great with my dog, Finn. He takes him for rides and plays with him… he also cuddles with him on the sofa. I get frequent updates from Ryan as well. Ryan also left my home in tip-top shape. Highly recommend!”
About: I have been watching animals for years. I am active and love to bring dogs to the park to burn off energy. A tired dog is a good dog! I have cared for puppies and for elderly-dogs, so I can manage pretty much anything. Animals love me and I am loving/responsible with them. My parents and brother don't like leaving town unless their dogs are with me! I can offer walks, meds if they need, feeding, love, the dog park, etc! My weekends are totally open so I am able to provide house sitting and drop in visits at any time. I am very active so if your animal is in need of some activity, I will be their best friend! I have no dogs because I am not ready to care full time for my own yet. However, I take care of my parent's dogs and my brother's all the time. They are extremely needy breeds, so I know the kind of attention pets require. I am missing having furry friends around all the time (since moving out). I also own a kitty kat of my own ♥️ I am able to give medicine, take them on walks, offer boarding, feed them. Whatever is needed!
“Emma is fantastic! She stayed in our home to care for our 2 dogs over a long weekend. She was wonderful with the dogs! Emma communicated promptly, sent daily updates/ pictures, and left our home super clean! We will definitely work with her again!”
“Amy was amazing! She took great care of our girl and made sure our picky eater was happy, and kept us updated the whole time. We came home to a clean house and a very content pup - highly recommend her!”
“Jamie is a pro! She helped us out last minute and made me feel comfortable leaving our pups with her and did a great job communicating! 10/10 recommend!! Thank you!”
“Maria exceeded all of our expectations. She took videos and photos of our babies which helped our nerves tremendously. She’s so sweet and attentive with them, took everything we told her and doubled it. And on top of that, our babies adore her. Highly highly recommend her :)”
About: I’ve cared for a lot of breeds and sizes of dogs, bunnies and cats in the past few years, including pop in walk services, house sitting two or one at a time, feeding, and playing with pets. I love animals and have chosen to not own one of my own so that I can care for others as much as I can I currently work from home on Wednesdays and Fridays which frees up 2 days during the week for me to pay attention to your fur babies, take them on walks, feed them, or even work from pet friendly facilities. I also have my weekends free and can house sit or board for those who need it. My apartment has a play yard available for dogs, I live by a lake and can take your dogs on a walk around the lake or around my apartment depending on your preference. Pets can be crated in my spacious apartment if needed and you are welcome to bring all your toys for your babies.
“We’ve used Matthew twice now and he’s the first non-family member we trust to stay with all the animals! I can tell through the pictures they always have fun with him and even our scaredy cat came out of hiding! Cannot recommend enough. Thanks Matthew!!”
About: I truly love animals 🐾 I’ve spent 12 years caring for pets — feeding, walking, grooming, and everything in between. I’ve cared for dogs of all kinds, including a sweet tripod girl who hopped around better than some dogs with all four legs, a loyal gentle giant German Shepherd, and currently an energetic lab/Great Pyrenees mix who keeps me active and on my toes. Friends jokingly call me the “animal whisperer” — even shy, nervous, or standoffish animals tend to warm right up to me. I also have deep experience with cats, so if you’ve got both dogs and cats, I’ve got you covered. I keep a flexible schedule outside of a part-time job, which leaves plenty of time for walks, feeding, and check-ins. I'm happy to work with you to find times that fit your pet's routine. I don’t offer boarding, but I’m happy to provide walks and drop-in visits at your home. I’m attentive to safety details like secure leashing, checking food and water, and following any specific instructions you leave for meds, routines, or quirks. Your pet’s space and routine are treated with care and respect.
“Nashi was phenomenal! One of our pups wasn’t feeling well right before we left, and it’s always difficult to leave when something like that is going on. Nashi stepped right in and took excellent care, provided updates, and calmed my worried mind. We absolutely recommend Nashi and will be requesting her care again in the future for our pups, too.”
“Morgan was wonderful to work with. She took great care of our dogs and house and communicated daily with updates and photos of our pups. We already have plans to use Morgan again in the near future.”
“Susan is an excellent and reliable pet sitter. She stayed in our house with our old beagle and two cats for six days and was perfect. We came home to everyone happy, the house clean, the mail put away and the sheets and towels washed. I would highly recommend Susan for Any Pet Sitting needs.”
“Victoria was wonderful. Will definitely be booking again. She stayed with my cats for the week. Victoria communicated well, gave updates at feedings and sent great pics. I was very comforted that she was staying with my kitties!”
About: Dogs are like tacos in my house--everyone loves them! I have had at least one dog in my house for the past 25 years, puppies, small one and large labs! I have had dogs in my life since I was small. I am home based for work, and always have been, and have flexibility for our furry friends. I am in a great area, complete with large dog park, lots of love, and a friend to play with...I love a good game of fetch, and your furry friend will always be in their happy place with me! My current pup is a black ten year old Labrador named Stella who is beyond friendly and is on me to get her some new friends! Call us! I am recently retired and have time for your pup! I am retired and have a very flexible schedule! I tend to spend alot of time outside, hiking, walking, etc. Our days are very full! We have plenty of green space, parks in neighborhood and golf courses, and several trails close by, within walking distance . We are out daily for long walks!
“Jill was truly wonderful and went above and beyond for my dogs! I was nervous leaving them for 8 days because one of my dogs had a hurt leg but she handled it all so well and had high communication. Would love to use her again in the future!”
About: I have been taking care of animals my whole life. My family has always had dogs, horses, chickens, and more. I have interned at manzanita animal hospital where I worked with animals daily too. I am very passionate about taking care of animals and am currently enrolled at Parker University school of chiropractic to become an animal chiropractor. I am currently a student of Parker University’s chiropractic program for humans and animals. I have always grown up with dogs, and have owned horses for 6 years now. I just moved to the Dallas area from Arizona and unfortunately could not bring any of my animals with me, but I am ready to help you anyone in need here! I have full days at school on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but am very flexible for any other days of the week! I will make sure your pet always has everything it needs. I realize this varies for different pets, and I want to make sure they are healthy, safe, and also have a good time while I have them.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Farmers Branch
Ashley is a phenomenal pet sitter! She stayed at our house for just under a week and watched our four animals (2 cats, 2 dogs), and she went above and beyond in making sure our animals were well taken care of. To start, three days before we were supposed to leave for our wedding, our dog tore her CCL/ACL. Not only did Ashley make sure Sadie didn’t reinjure herself while we were gone, but she also gave her her pain medication and even set up a grass pad on our deck (so Sadie wouldn’t have to hobble down our deck stairs to use the bathroom). PLUS, Sadie started developing stomach issues while we were gone and had multiple accidents in the house (which she never does). We DoorDashed some rice and chicken to the house and Ashley started feeding Sadie the modified diet to help with her stomach. I could not recommend Ashley enough! I completely trust her with our animals and always know they’re in good hands with her. She also sends us a lot of photo updates which I appreciate!
Ianna was so great! She truly cares about your pet’s wellbeing. You can tell she loves dogs. She understands your requests and is flexible. My small dog is very skittish with people but did great with Ianna. I will, with absolute confidence, contact her the next time I need someone to care for my baby.
Yumika was amazing! We've learned that a lot of sitters in our area are very unreliable. Fortunately, we found Yumika and she set the standard. She came by the house a couple of weeks before our travels, took notes, and confirmed everything in advance. She gave our dog and cat plenty of attention throughout the day, took adorable photos of them, and gave us detailed updates. We came back to a clean house and happy pets. 5 stars. We're already planning to book Yumika again!
Christina was excellent in taking care of my baby girl. She also did great at communicating with me while we were gone. I never worried about Maggie while we were gone and once we got home, she didn't even pout about our absence! The house was exactly as we left it, she even took the trash out. We will definitely call Christina again.
I would highly reccomended Laura-she was very kind, attentive and calm. When my fur baby Susu wasn’t feeling well and thew up and she notified me right away and was patient as I contacted the vet to get the next steps. She reassured me and sent me pics of how everything was going. She really does go above and beyond and her patience and kindness are much appreciated-she’s one of the best pet sitters I’ve come across. Would highly recommend booking her and I’ll be rebooking with her in the future if she’s available!
Millenique was very polite and easy to work with. She took great photos of our two dogs, Tokki and Khloe, and did a wonderful job keeping us updated. She also left the house clean and was helpful with bringing in mail, packages, and watering plants. The only area for improvement would be punctuality, but overall we had a positive experience and appreciated her care for our home and pets.
Collin and Rachna bring so much peace of mind while watching our pets. We love the updates/photos and our dogs enjoy their company! They were also patient with our new cat, who is fairly shy. This was a re-book and we plan to do it again in the future! Thank you!!
This was my first time using a dog sitter and Genesee exceeded my expectations. She has a calm, caring approach and my dog took to her instantly. She sent updates, walked her regularly, and was quite flexible as my travel plans shifted. I’d happily book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable and kind!
JaKarra is a lifesaver! My dog got very sick while I was gone and she brought her to the urgent care for me and took care of her. I am so lucky I chose an attentive and caring dog sitter or it could’ve gone unnoticed, and she could have gotten much worse. Highly recommend!!

The average cost of House Sitting in Farmers Branch is $43 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $25 and $79 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Farmers Branch 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 Farmers Branch 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 Farmers Branch 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
