“First time using a sitter in my home off of Rover. I was a little nervous at first but within 24 hours checking my security cameras a few times I felt 100% confident with Nick watching over my home and dog. I would recommend Nick to anyone and will definitely use him again!”
“Diana was amazing! She went above and beyond with house sitting and taking care of my pups. She even took them for walks. Diana is mature and very professional. I highly recommend Diana..!!”
“Ashley was wonderful with Biscuit! She took great care of him while I was out for the evening and gave me peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. She was reliable, communicative, and very kind. I would definitely book with her again. Thank you, Ashley! 🐾💕”
“John did a great job watching over Boog & our house. We are so thankful for the amazing communication and that we didn’t have to worry all week about our dog! Highly recommend & we will use him again when needed!”
“From the moment we met Lydia, we knew our dogs would be in great hands! Lydia is very honest and considerate and we came home to two very happy dogs and our house looked as if no one had stayed there. We highly recommend Lydia!”
“Hailey was so good with both of our fur babies. She sent daily picture updates as well as any other updates that were needed. I know both our girls were happy to spend the weekend with her! She's great with both cats and dogs, and takes great care of the house. Even offered to stay longer when we thought we were going to have major flight delays.”
“Finding Addison was truly a blessing. Our original pet sitting plans fell through at the very last minute, and I was so fortunate to find her when I did. From the moment I met her, I just had a great feeling. She has such a kind, calming personality, and all of my dogs immediately took to her—which never happens! They’re usually very reserved with new people and take time to warm up, but with Addison it was instant. That alone gave me so much confidence. Throughout our trip, Addison kept me updated every single day without me ever having to ask. She sent photos, shared what the dogs and cats were up to, and made me feel like I was right there with them. She followed every instruction perfectly and honestly went above and beyond in so many ways. One of the sweetest surprises was coming home to little things she had done around the house that I never asked her to do. She even emptied the dishwasher and put all the dishes away. When I thanked her, she said her mom always taught her that after a trip, people should come home to a clean house so they can truly relax. That really touched me. Kudos to Addison—and to her mom—for raising such an incredible young woman. The greatest gift she gave me was peace of mind. Knowing my dogs and cats were loved, cared for, and genuinely enjoying their time with her allowed me to fully enjoy my vacation without worrying about them. That’s priceless. I already have another trip planned, and Addison will absolutely be my first choice. I cannot recommend her highly enough. She exceeded every expectation, and I am beyond grateful to have found her.”
“Brooke was great with our Bailey! We felt very comfortable with her taking care of Bailey and our home while we were out of town. We will definitely use her again!”
“Shanda was so thoughtful to us and our pup. She came in during an emergency trip we needed to take and we could not ask for more. Her updates made us feel so comfortable. We knew Eve was safe and having a great time. Highly recommend her for any care because she will spoil your fur baby like a grandparent.”
“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.”
“Symone has watched my greyhound several times, and it’s always great. Great to work with and we’ve always come home to a really clean home and a well-cared for dog. My dog also has terrible thunderstorm anxiety and Symone once watched her during an awful storm with no issues. I’d definitely recommend her!”
“Oline is the best!!! Our dogs love her, get lots of attention and love and we get all the pictures we need as needy parents. She goes above and beyond!! Highly recommend.”
“Tyler is wonderful! He is very communicative and professional. I appreciate all of his updates while he watches our dog and how much he cares about her. I feel like she is always in great hands with Tyler! Will continue to request Tyler for future bookings.”

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.
Ashley was a blessing & we will definitely be rebooking with her in the future! She sent pictures & updates daily which I appreciated. Izzy was in great caring hands & I didn't worry as much as I normally would when leaving my dog with a sitter which was a good sign! This was our first time having a dog sitter stay in our home with Izzy & Ashley made it a great first experience! 😊
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!!
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!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Farmers Branch
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Farmers Branch on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 5,430 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Farmers Branch. 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 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 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.

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.
