“Ashley was great and reliable! Our cat loved that she would make time to sit with him and give him lots of pets and treats! Always responsive when we had questions, and we never had to worry about our cat while we were away. She is awesome!”
“Julie dropped in and watched my cat over Christmas break. My cat is not normally good with strangers but warmed up to Julie very quickly. I am very satisfied Julie's reliability and care of my cat. I definitely recommend her. Thank you Julie!”
About: I've been taking care of pets since 2022! I am flexible when it comes to drop-in visits and dog-walking! I have cared for my neighbors' and family friends' pets as I care for my own! Looking forward to working with you! I am currently a graduate student at UT Arlington in their social work program. I also work a retail job in my free time. My schedule often varies, but I will make sure to keep my calendar updated each month. If certain times don't work for you, just let me know! I am very flexible! I have a Belgian Malinois (Star) that I walk often because of her endless energy! I enjoy playing with her whenever I am home from my internship or class. Not only will I provide the necessary care for your pet, but I will also make sure I put all my love and care into them!
“Shelby is just amazing with our puppy, Zoe! She has tons of patience and provides detailed feedback every day about her behaviors. It is great to know your that your walker cares so much about your doggie and wants to remain consistent with training techniques. We will use her as much as we can :)”
“She is AMAZING one of my cats is not usually open to anyone and she was able to break her and get pets in cause my Naevia is shy and comes around on her terms. Joanna followed all the instructions left and then some and she showed my babies so much love. My Hunter just adored her! I have another trip coming up and I am hoping I can book her again!! Thank you so much Joanna!!!”
“Camilla was great with my new pup Storm. I’m an overnight nurse & i feel so bad leaving him in a crate during my long hours. I’m so grateful that she was able to play with him for a period of time. Will definitely use her in the future!”
About: I grew up with dogs and know exactly what they need to be happy and healthy! I love all animals and have been caring for other people’s dogs for 5 years. Now I have a couple of my own and they are my best friends! Our dogs are playful and would love the chance to meet yours! I work part time and my husband works from home. So between us, we are home 90% of the time to care for your fur babies, they will be played with and loved on! We have a “guest” dog bed that we wash after each stay, and a dog park that is nearby that we throw balls and frisbees. We walk our dogs at least 3 times per day so that they can relax and be calm in our home. Safety is our priority and we keep clean countertops (for those surfers out there) as well as other harmful things wells out of reach and closed off. Our dogs stay out while at home and we haven’t had any issues, so yours won’t either :)
“Jordan was so sweet and great with my older whippets. I have been nervous to leave them and go take a vacation. After seeing the boys instantly feel comfortable with Jordan during a meet and greet, it really put my mind at ease. She was punctual and gave updates with pictures included. She paid close attention to their needs and gave them plenty of attention and cuddles. Just with her being present, they seemed to be at ease. I am so grateful and I would recommend her to anyone. I hope to rebook with her again soon!”
“Gabrielle always provides amazing care for our cats. It gives us peace of mind knowing they will be in good hands. She is as dependable as they come! Also we love the pictures she takes! She could be a photographer!”
About: I truly love animals 🐾 I’ve spent about 12 years caring for dogs and cats, from feeding, walking, and grooming to playtime, cuddles, and everything in between. Friends jokingly call me the “animal whisperer” because even shy, nervous, or usually standoffish pets tend to warm up to me quickly. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal, earning their trust, and making them feel comfortable while their people are away. I keep a flexible schedule outside of my part-time job, which leaves me plenty of time for pet care throughout the week. I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that works best for you and your pet. I pay close attention to each pet’s individual personality, needs, and routines. Whether it’s walks, feeding, fresh water, litter box care, or medication instructions, I make sure every pet feels safe and comfortable. I respect their boundaries, keep their environment clean, and provide updates and photos so you know how your furry friend is doing while you’re away.
“Susai did a great job taking care of my kitties! They looked very happy and healthy when I came back from my trip. I really appreciate her taking the time to play and relaxing with them, and loved the photo updates every day!”
About: I have taken care of family, friends pets of all kinds for over 10 years now. Small dogs, High energy, big dogs of all sorts including a dog with 3 legs & senior care as well. It would be my pleasure to care for your pets while your out and about! 🐶🐕💜 Im currently available full-time to care for your pups! Plenty of time for attention & play time! You can personally request me anytime for services! Your dog is free to walk around and play freely. I can crate them if you would like me to. I can take them out for walks as much as needed and ofcourse extra playtime & belly rubs!
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and have always loved caring for them. I’ve regularly watched family friends’ dogs and neighbors’ dogs, and I have a dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. I’m dependable, patient, and attentive to each dog’s individual personality and needs. Whether your dog is young and full of energy, needs extra exercise and playtime, or is older and needs a slower, more careful approach, I’m happy to adjust my care to what makes them most comfortable. I treat every dog like they’re my own and want both you and your pet to feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I’m currently a chiropractic student, so I have a structured school schedule that allows me to plan my days around pet care. I have a dog of my own, and I make sure he gets outside 3–4 times a day. I also make it a priority to come home from school and check on him to make sure he’s doing well. I would provide that same level of care and attention to other people’s dogs. I’m happy to work walks, potty breaks, and check-ins into my daily routine, and I’ll always make sure your dog is safe, comfortable, and taken care of while you’re away. I have a very friendly Mini Goldendoodle of my own who absolutely loves being around people and other dogs. I also have a fiancée who adores dogs just as much as I do, so our home is a loving and welcoming environment for pets. When caring for a client’s dog, I treat them like they’re my own. I make sure they are supervised, safe, comfortable, and getting the attention and care they need. I’m also respectful of each owner’s home and routines and will follow any specific instructions you provide. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing your dog is in a safe, caring environment while you’re away.
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!
About: I have such a love for all animals I have had two dogs, two cats and a bunny all at once and I enjoyed every minute I am currently unemployed, so I have such an open availability. I’m just trying to find new ways to support my two kids and our dog. I make sure that they have food and water and I’ll spend lots of time playing with him and just giving them all the love and attention in the small amount of time that I’m with them
About: Have an energetic dog who needs more walking? Let them come take a walk with me! I'm an avid daily walker and often go hiking and backpacking. I used to love walking with my own dog and look forward to walking with yours! I work fully remote and have a flexible schedule and can accommodate your scheduling needs. I specialize in weekday morning walks and in-home visits with additional evening and weekend availability. Dogs and cats appreciate routine and schedules as much as we do! My goal is to provide your furbaby with a routine as close to their regular schedule as possible, whether that's walks, playtime, food or medication.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Farmers Branch
Kimberly is wonderful to work with, as a two veterinarian household I get nervous leaving our three old gals for the weekend with someone new but she made it so stress free. She made sure our oldest got her meds, even took time to feed our fish. My dogs loved her and she sent cute little photo updates. She was always timely and gave them ample time to potty in the yard and relax out of their kennels. Will be reaching out to book with her again, that peace of mind is priceless.
Out of all the dog sitters I’ve had, my fur babies love Courtney the most. They were very welcoming towards her. They even allowed her to walk them, (which never happens with anyone, even my family members.) My dogs trust her, which makes me trust and appreciate her even more. I highly highly recommend Courtney’s services. You will not be disappointed.
Lily was fantastic! This was my first time utilizing a sitter for my elderly dog. We arranged an introductory meeting and all of my worries and concerns disappeared. I was able to enjoy my vacation due to Lily’s loving care and detailed correspondence on a daily basis. I will definitely seek her out for services in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Farmers Branch is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $33 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 9,056 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Farmers Branch. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Farmers Branch. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
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.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
