“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 :)”
“John was able to watch our 3 cats on short notice. He followed complex feeding instructions to make sure that our cat with behavioral issues was fed on a regular schedule in a variety of special feeders. He was also very responsive and a pleasure to work with.”
“My cat are very shy around strangers, but they warmed up to her, and they were happy and healthy when I returned. The house was also in good condition. I usually look to family to help when I go out of town, but if none of them are available, I will definitely seek out Diana first.”
“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.”
“Kristen was such a wonderful sitter. She gave us detailed updates frequently with pictures and I was never worried about my fur babies once under her care. I would highly recommend Kristen as a sitter and would 1000% use her services again!🩷”
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.
“Bregayle is wonderful. She house sitted my 3 year old Sheppard mix. She consistently sent updates and photos, which I really appreciated and I came home to a very happy pup. I will definitely book Bregayle again!”
“Millenique was amazing my doggies were well taken care of. She followed all directions and my kept my doggies and home safe and happy. I think they missed her when she left lol. I will definitely use her again and I definitely recommend!!!”
About: I have several years experience as a dog sitter and I am well known as the go to person for dog care. Let me care for your fury loved one. I am currently in between roles and am open when it comes to availability. I would be happy to be considered for your dog caregiver. I love to cuddle and provide safety and trust with your pets. I believe active play and exercise leads to happy and content animal. Big on healthy snacks as well as a treat. All within the owners guidance and instruction. 😉
“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.”
“Andrea took great care of our dogs and home! We have a rambunctious pitbull and a senior beagle mix and she was able to accommodate both of their unique needs. Our home was just as we left it which is always so appreciated. We also received frequent updates and pictures. I would not hesitate to use Andrea again!”
About: I’ve owned dogs and cats, and cared for pets of friends and family. I love learning their personalities and quirks, enjoying walks and time outdoors with them, and watching cats explore and play. I believe every animal teaches me something new, and I’m passionate about helping pets thrive in their homes and on walks, connecting with their happiness and curiosity. I am currently working part-time so I have flexibility to support your and your pet's needs for sitting and walking during the weekdays and weekends. I am a trust worthy, patient and caring person who will do their best to ensure your pet feels supported during your absence. I will respect your home and their environment.
“Brooke took excellent care of my two big senior dogs while I was away for 10 days. I came home to happy and content pups. She is great at communicating and very responsive!”
“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!”
“Shanda was amazing! She came over last minute and was so great to our animals. She sent many pictures and kept the house so clean. We really appreciate her so much for everything.”
“So grateful for Jose and Elizabeth house sitting and taking such good care of our SUPER needy and high maintenance dog, Kaya. She is always so anxious when we leave even for just an errand so we were worried about how she would do for five days. We received updates every day with pictures of Kaya having a great time! On walks, lounging in her bed and cuddling with our new favorite pet sitter. Coming home, everything was in its place and clean, even better than I expected. There was a bad storm while we were gone with high winds and they checked everything to make sure there wasn't damage, letting us know all was well with our home before we even knew there was a storm. I cannot say enough wonderful things about this experience. Even after our first meeting, there were good vibes and after just one day of being away with the updates and pictures, we never worried again. Highly recommend and am very happy with the service.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Farmers Branch
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!
Yumika is an excellent dogsitter! She stayed with my two doodle dogs while I was traveling. Her communication daily with photos kept me updated and assured. I came home to two tired and happy pups and she left my home immaculate. I highly recommend Yumika and have already referred her to my neighbors!
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!!
Alexis watched our Willie overnight and did a great job! We had a meet and greet where we showed her everything about Willie and she met him. He really seems to like Alexis!! While she watched Willie she sent us pictures and a message that he was going well. He’s a very anxious dog so it was good to know he was good!

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.
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.
