“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.”
“Daisa was perfect with my pup, Pickles! She asked insightful questions during the meet and greet to ensure she knew his mannerisms and habits. Then, she not only stuck with those habits but went above and beyond to spoil Pickles while I was gone. For instance, he loves long walks and she would walk him for 30-45 minimums each time. She gave me 3-4 updates a day with pictures and provided an app where I could track his walks. It really eased my anxiety, and I appreciate her help so much.”
“Oline took such wonderful care of our babies all weekend long! She was very communicative and provided much appreciated updates to us! We would book her again in a heartbeat!!”
“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 :)”
“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!!!”
“Lindsey has sat for my pup twice now and has been wonderful all around. She has no problem staying over night at my house and my dog just adores her. She sends friendly updates and is quick to respond. I will continue to book her as long as she is willing!”
“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!”
“Brooke was great! She did a meet and greet beforehand and was very easy to communicate with. When we returned, our house was clean and exactly how we left it. We would love to have Brooke house sit for us again. Thanks, Brooke!”
“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.”
“Kristen was so sweet to our Lexie and Lexie really loved her! Kristen is very organized and responsible. She was excellent at following the directions I left her regarding Lexie and the house. I trusted her completely! I highly recommend Kristen for your pet sitting needs!”
“Laura was great! She took such great care of our animals and was very communicative and also patient with us with an internet issue. She made sure both animals were loved and had the best care while we were away! Hopeful to rebook with her in the future.”
“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!”
“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.”
“In a sea of amateur pet sitters, Symone stands out as a true professional in the industry. She runs her small business like a pro. She’s communicative, responsible, trustworthy, experienced, and pleasant. We used her twice in 6 weeks and both times she went the extra mile, taking care of our home and pets during the ice storm and remembering things like leaving faucets dripping during the ice storm and leaving calm dog tv on for our pup. She was patient with our pup during the meet greet as he can be reactive and he loved her. We will use her every time we need a sitter as she is the best we have found. Our home always feels clean and smells great after her visits. Can’t recommend her enough!”
“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. 🥰🥰”

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 :)
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 July 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 July 2026, there are 5,509 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.
