“We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter for our cats! From the very start, she agreed to a meet and greet (and we met the other half of the power couple, her husband James) prior to our vacation. Her communication since was outstanding — consistent updates, photos during each visit, and thoughtful notes that gave us total peace of mind while we were away. She made sure our cats were well-fed, their water refreshed, and litter boxes spotless. Even better, she took time to engage with them — playing, giving attention, and making sure each cat got the care they needed. It was clear she truly care las about animals, not just checking off a task list. I highly recommend her and will absolutely book with her again for future trips!”
“Jane was great with my cat and sent prompt responses to all of my messages. She gave helpful updates and sent photos and videos, which was appreciated. She was patient with my girl, who is very shy with new people :) thank you, Jane!!”
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!
About: I’ve been loving dogs forever and caring for pups ranging from just a single pup to 6 pups at once! Old or young I have taken care of them. Potty training and crate training as well! I’m currently a college student getting my doctorate. I am still plenty available especially for long weekends and most of the week to take care of your pups! I have 3 other pups to keep yours company! 2 vizslas and 1 golden retriever. I have a fenced yard and have a nice dog park nearby.
“Joanna was absolutely incredible! We highly recommend her! She gave our sweet kitty boy the best care and all the cuddles he could imagine! She was fantastic in every way- caring, communicative, kind, dedicated, and very loving to our kitty. Joanna gave him the highest quality care at each visit, and provided detailed, thorough Rover card updates and photos. She diligently took care of his itchy ear problem with medication and gave plenty of feedback about how they were healing. Our cat adores her and loved his time with her! Joanna is wonderful!”
“First timer here! We had an amazing experience. Brooke was reliable, kind, and clearly cares about animals. I got consistent updates and pictures every visit, and my pups loved meeting her as well. We came home to happy dogs and a clean space. I couldn’t ask for more!”
“Krista was great with my shy cat. She dropped in to take care of his necessities and gave him some much needed play time. It was nice knowing he was being well looked after while I was away for so long.”
“Jessica was amazing! Took the booking last minute, arranged a meet & greet, did 3 drop-ins, spent quality time, sent pics, videos and updates. Friendly, professional service. Can’t recommend highly enough!”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life and have always loved caring for animals. Growing up, I regularly helped take care of my neighbors’, friends’, and family members’ pets, which has given me plenty of hands-on experience and taught me how to be responsible, attentive, and dependable. I also have my own fur baby now, so I understand firsthand how important it is to have someone you can truly trust to care for your pet, treat them with love, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I currently work as a Chiropractic assistant 4 days a week so Friday-Sunday I am 100% available. My fiancé and I live together and he is a short drive from school to check on our doggy during the day to take him out to go potty and give him some love! We do not have a yard, but our apartment has a very convenient paved path all around the complex with lots of grass and trees. Our dog goes out at least 3 times a day, all of those times being walks, because he will only go to the bathroom via walks. So taking the time to make sure your dog has gone to the bathroom and had enough outside time is something I am very used to and enjoy doing!
“Allison was amazing, our sitter canceled on us last minute and she was able to accommodate us. Communicated throughout the entire time and sent awesome photos! Will definitely be booking with her again!”
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 with dogs, been dog sitting for years, and have never met a dog I didn't want to stop and pet! I'm the person who pulls over to rescue a stray, stops to say hello to every dog I pass, and genuinely believes dogs are often better company than people! Dogs truly make me happy, and I can't imagine life without them. I've raised dogs from their very first puppy days through their sweet senior years, including the heartbreaking moments of saying goodbye. I understand that every stage of a dog's life comes with different needs, personalities, and levels of care. Whether it's puppy energy, outdoor adventures, endless games of fetch, belly rubs, or extra patience and attention for an older dog, I'm happy to provide it all! **How dedicated am I to my dogs?** Well, I actually installed a dog bath in my laundry room, complete with a showerhead that's nicer than the one in my own bathroom! I've also rearranged my home and routines to make life easier for my furry family members, including lowering my bed when my dog got older and could no longer jump up comfortably. Their health, happiness, and comfort often take priority over my own, and I've happily made my home and lifestyle as dog-friendly as possible. To me, dogs aren't just pets; they're family. They give us unconditional love, endless laughs, and some of life's happiest moments. I believe they deserve every bit of that love in return, from their very first days to their very last. **What sets me apart?** I don't just watch dogs because I enjoy them. I genuinely love caring for them, getting to know their unique personalities, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, happy, and loved. I'll treat your furry family member with the same patience, attention, and devotion I give my own. And as a bonus, spending time with your pup might just keep me from adopting another one—which my dog, Max, would greatly appreciate - he doesn't want to share me full time! My schedule is currently very flexible, and I'm available mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends! Whether your pup needs a morning walk, an afternoon playdate, a potty break, some extra cuddles, or just a friendly drop-in to say hello, I'm happy to help! I love spending time with dogs, so fitting more tail wags, outdoor adventures, and puppy love into my day is never a problem. Whether you need occasional help or a regular routine, I'd love to be part of your pup's day! When it comes to caring for dogs, I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty—or covered in fur! I believe every pup deserves to feel safe, comfortable, clean, happy, and loved, whether they're in my home or their own. **My home is designed with dogs in mind!** I have a large, fully fenced backyard with plenty of room to run, explore, play fetch, or simply enjoy the sunshine. I also have a dog door, automatic water stations both inside and outside, plenty of dog beds, toys, and dog-friendly furniture. Around here, dogs are family, and they're welcome to get comfortable! Whether your pup prefers lounging on the couch, curling up in a cozy dog bed, or running around outside, there's a spot for them. **For dogs who love getting outside, we're in a great location!** I live near multiple parks with wonderful walking trails, both shaded and sunny, so I can adjust our adventures based on the weather, your dog's energy level, and their individual needs. Whether it's a leisurely sniff-and-explore stroll or a longer walk to burn off some energy, I'm happy to accommodate! And don't worry, I'm always prepared—I keep poop bags on hand and extras in my car. Responsible dog walking is a must! I'm happy to provide everything from endless pets and cuddles to walks, games of fetch, and plenty of playtime! I also pay attention to the little things that make a big difference in their comfort and health, including wiping muddy paws, cleaning and refilling food and water bowls, brushing their fur and teeth, giving baths when needed, cleaning eye gunk, and yes, even wiping their little behinds when necessary!
About: I’ve just moved to Dallas and I miss my 12 year old Shih Tsu. I love dogs of all kinds. I have cared for dogs my entire life. I’m working part time and looking to exercise and play with dogs at the same time. I am flexible with my schedule. Thank you, Melissa I won’t. I am not interested in keeping pets in my home. Twenty five words is a lot. Not sure how I missed this on the other page?
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!
“Haylee was awesome!!! Her great communication made us feel that our Zeke was safe, happy, and well taken care of. We loved all the updates & pictures. We would highly recommend!!!!!!”

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.
