“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..!!”
“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!”
“Having Ashley as our sitter was the perfect decision! We were able to enjoy our honeymoon knowing that we’d get pictures of our dogs walking, playing, or just relaxing twice a day! She was very caring, professional, and kept me well informed—especially about my dog that sometimes skips meals. Definitely would rebook with Ashley :)”
“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!”
“It was such a pleasure having Oline watch my pack overnight. She has such a calm and serene presence that it didn’t take long for them to match her energy. Also, this woman takes FABULOUS pictures! I’m going to frame some. Thank you again, Oline ❤️”
“Andrea did a wonderful job dog sitting at our home for a weekend away. From our first communication, she was responsive and friendly and that carried over to our introduction meeting when she arrived promptly at our scheduled time. I was easily able to trust Andrea to care for our dog and house with her warm personality and attentive questions she asked about Duke’s care. She provided Duke’s medications to him without issue and gave great text and photo updates while staying with him. I would happily rebook with Andrea.”
“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.”
“Sumi was amazing and took great care of our fur babies and kept them company at night by staying at our home with them. We will definitely ask for her services again in the future. She sent picture updates to us and kept us informed about how the pups are doing. We highly recommend Sumi to anyone needing a great and professional pet sitter for their fur babies.”
“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.”
“Amazing sitter! Took my request last minute and became very close with my rather shy cat in a short time. I was so worried this was my first time getting a sitter but it went super smoothly my kittie was super happy and loved and Mackenzi was comfortable with me checking in periodically on my cat cam which made me feel much more safe we also met beforehand which brought some comfort as well. Will 100% use her as my only sitter in the future. :)”
“As always, I came home to happy animals! The biggest difference is in how calm they are when we leave and come back now. It’s like they know Samantha will be there - and that is at least as good as us being home!”
“Ross stepped in to help us out at the last minute when our previously scheduled sitter had to leave town for a family emergency. He stayed at our house overnight with our older dog and she was so happy to have him there. He was responsive, sent photos, and did a great job. We will definitely be reaching out to him again!”
“Kimberly was awesome ! The only problem we had was that she SPOILED our dog rotten. Based on photos she sent us, our puppy PETE had more fun with Kimberly than he does with us. Thank you again Kimberly for being so gracious and kind to our four-legged child. We look forward to having you back in the near future.”
“Jamie was incredible! We had high expectations given all her great reviews and she managed to exceed them all. We had Jamie come stay at our place over July 4th weekend to look after our 60 pound staffy mix Lennox. She took fantastic care of Lennox, making sure he took his medications on time (he’s recovering from TPLO) and giving him plenty of love. We will definitely be using Jamie again and highly recommend everyone do the same.”
“This was the first time Jessica did dog and house sitting for us, and we were VERY impressed. Frankie seemed very happy when we returned and the house was immaculate with freshly washed linens on the beds, spotless everywhere, and even an extra pool treatment to make sure it was looking in top form. Will be requesting Jessica again and would 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.
“Ashley was so great with our crew. She kept in contact with us every day while we were gone with pictures, videos, and updates on how everyone was doing. Our nervous and timid dog who doesn’t open up for everyone almost immediately opened up for her and was being his goofy self. She went above and beyond anything I could have asked for. 🥰🥰”
“Lindsey was amazing! I came back to a clean home and the dogs were very well taken care of. I could not recommend Lindsey more. As I was away, Lindsey stayed connected with me and provided regular updates and pictures. I will definitely be booking Lindsey in the future!”

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 $42.8 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 5,349 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.
