“Madison was the best! This was our first time using rover / leaving our mini labradoodle with anyone outside of our family. She was so responsive and sent us a bunch of pics! She constantly kept us up to date on the weekend so we didn’t have to stress about Millie while we were gone. Would highly recommend using her!”
“Querhea did a great job taking care of our dogs! One of our dogs required a lot of eye medication and she ensured it was done exactly on time. She provided regular updates and left our house spotless.”
“Hana was fantastic with our babies. We have a dog who is afraid of thunder. Of course it had to storm a lot while we were away. Hana cuddled and comforted Bayou during the storms. She also notified me when our diabetic cat wasn’t eating well. She went to our vets office and picked up medication for him. She also dealt with our AC guy having to come to the house and troubleshoot our system. She was very gracious about hazing to deal with all of these issues while we were away. Plus you can see how much she loves animals and gives them love while staying with me.”
“Avery does work a full time job so keep that in mind if you have a strict feeding schedule for your dogs which was a bit of a miscommunication on our part. She did give us updates as soon as she got home and cared well for our dogs. Overall, Avery did a good job watching them.”
About: I’ve been a lifelong animal lover and understand that pets are family. I provide dependable, attentive care so you can travel with confidence, knowing your pets and home are in good hands. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, cats, and other household pets. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, a consistent routine, or simply companionship, I tailor my care to their individual needs. I’m patient with senior pets, attentive to medication schedules and special instructions, and committed to maintaining the routines that help pets feel safe and comfortable. In addition to pet care, I take pride in keeping a clean, secure, and well-maintained home. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and respectful of your property. I’ll provide regular updates, photos, and prompt communication so you always know how your pets are doing. As a mature, responsible professional, I understand the importance of trust, reliability, and treating your pets and home with the same care and respect I would expect for my own. Pet care fits well into my schedule. I work a four-day week, with two days working remotely and two days in the office, which gives me flexibility to provide attentive, dependable care. On my remote workdays, I’m home throughout the day for companionship, walks, playtime, feeding, and potty breaks. On office days, I plan my schedule carefully to ensure pets receive the care and attention they need before and after work. My evenings and weekends are generally open, allowing me to dedicate quality time to pet sitting, house sitting, overnight stays, and maintaining your pet’s normal routine. I understand how important consistency is, and I’m committed to providing reliable, loving care while you’re away. Safety, security, and your pet’s well-being are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or providing drop-in visits, I take the time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs so they feel comfortable and secure. I carefully follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and household routines. I ensure doors, gates, and windows are secure, keep a close eye on your pet during walks and outdoor time, and maintain a clean, safe environment at all times. I also understand that inviting someone into your home requires trust. I’ll treat your home with the utmost respect, keep everything tidy, bring in mail or packages if requested, water plants, and provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets and home are being cared for with the same attention and respect I would give my own.
“Very kind, thoughtful, and respectful of our space. We booked overnight dog sitting and Heather went above and beyond putting covers on our spouts outside when temperatures dropped. Thank you!”
“Madeline & Isaiah are so great! They took care of our pups just like their own and were very diligent with their feeding & overall care. Super communicative and trustworthy. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for in home dog sitting or even drop ins! They routinely do both visit types for us and we truly can’t give them enough praises for how well they take care of our fur babies.”
“Laura is a friendly, dependable, dog loving sitter. She stayed at our house while we were away and cared for our three dogs who all eat differently and take medication. We could tell when she met them that she would love them like we do. And when we returned they were happy and not traumatized. We highly recommend Laura.”
“Yvette did a great job. We have an aggressive dog so our situation isn’t the easiest for most sitters but she kept everyone safe and our home clean. We would highly recommend her.”
“Anna did an amazing job with Mabel. She was communicative, sent photos, and treated our home with respect. I didn’t have to worry and I will be hiring her again soon!!! Highly recommended!”
“Jennifer was amazing with our fur babies! They loved her so much. She was very communicative about what was going on at the house. We were so happy to be able to trust her to stay. Will definitely use her services again! Thank you Jennifer!”
“Emily stayed with our puppy of 4 months for a week and we are very pleased with everything she did while we were away. She taught our pup to obey several commands working with her everyday. We loved that she sent pictures all the time so we could see how our pup was coming along. We would absolutely have her stay with our dog again in the future! 5 star rating!”
“Fantastic!!!!! Lola was soooo happy with her care, as was I. I felt comfortable that Lola was in great hands. She got lots of play and cuddle time. My instructions were followed to the letter. The house was well cared for as well. I was so impressed with the courtesy and professionalism, as well as the level of caring. And it was so nice to come home to a clean house and a happy pup! I will definitely rebook 😄🐕❤️”
“Again Maya went above and beyond to care for our 12 year old Layla girl (and our home) while we were out of the Country for over a week. She did everything we requested and more and most importantly kept in touch daily, sent photos and details of their day while we were away. She is kind, responsible and trustworthy. Maya is our go to pet sitter for Layla. Thank you Maya for being amazing!🤩”
“Summer is amazing!! Our girls absolutely love her and so do we. When it came time to schedule a sitter we automatically rebooked with Summer because of our previous experience with her was so perfect and stress free we just couldn’t imagine trying someone else.”
“Suzanne was great with our high strung dogs and cats. They feel comfortable with her, which is not true of everyone. She gives them lots of love and attention and leaves our home looking better than when she arrived. We appreciate her taking care of our home and bebes so much!”
“Forever will use Lori when we have to go out of town! We had the worst travel luck this weekend and Lori stayed to make sure our 3 dogs were taken care of while we figured out a way to get home. So thankful for the love and care Lori provides for our fur babies”
“Cassidy took care of our two dogs, our cat, and our home for six days, and we could not be more happy with her exceptional service. We were at ease knowing she had things under control while communicating with us regularly by sending pictures or brief texts on their status. It was obvious she enjoyed spending time with them and genuinely cares for our pets. We strongly recommend Cassidy and would definitely have her back to care for our fur babies. Thanks for the cute report cards on each pet, Cassidy. They were fun to read.”
“Kelley was fantastic with my pups and took into account all their quirks! She even got my really picky eater to eat all his meals. The house was even cleaner than I left it when we got back!”

Rachel was absolutely amazing with my two Goldens over a long weekend! She was incredibly communicative from start to finish, sending lots of updates and pictures that gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. It was clear my dogs were happy, well cared for, and getting plenty of love and attention. She also went above and beyond by helping with a few extra chores around the house, which was so thoughtful and greatly appreciated. I would highly recommend Rachel to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!
Kylie was responsive and took good care of my dog and cat while I was out of town for the weekend. My pets looked content or playful in the pictures she sent. I can tell that they were happy with her care and comfortable around her. She was respectful of my home and even took out the trash (:
Ayisha is fantastic! She will lover your furbaby as if it was hers. She is so patient and kind. This was our first vacation going out of town in a long time and we were gone for a week. Ayisha also did house sitting for us and took care as if it were her house as well. She also stayed overnight so that our dog wasn't alone. She sent us updates, photos, and video's daily which we loved as I had a bit of anxiety leaving my dog alone for the first time as he gets separation anxiety. We highly recommend Ayisha and she will be the first one we contact if we go out of town again. Thank you again Ayisha for all your wonderful help!
Gracie is the best! She took excellent care of our two doggies, Birdie and Charlie, while we traveled out of town for a long weekend. She communicated really well, was punctual and most importantly our dogs love her. We'd recommend Gracie to anyone and will hire again in a heartbeat.
Summer is amazing!! Our girls absolutely love her and so do we. When it came time to schedule a sitter we automatically rebooked with Summer because of our previous experience with her was so perfect and stress free we just couldn’t imagine trying someone else.
Lyndsey did an outstanding job for us in watching our two dogs. In her initial visit with us she took detailed notes for our the routines of our dogs. She went beyond our expectations by scooping leaves out of our pool and adding a few chemicals- two tasks she willingly took on though we did not expect. She also communicated with us regularly to let us know how things were going. She spent the nights at our house and left our home very clean and in good order. We highly recommend Lyndsey and plan to hire her again for our next trip!
Tania (and her sweet little brother) did an amazing job caring for my two dogs and cat while I was away. She was an excellent communicator, kept me updated with plenty of photos, and gave me complete peace of mind knowing my pets were in such good hands. She truly went above and beyond, not only making sure my pets were well cared for, but also taking the time to water my garden and keep an eye on things around the house. It's clear she genuinely cares about both the animals and the families she helps. I would absolutely recommend Tania to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and trustworthy sitter. I look forward to booking with her again in the future!
Kaylyn was awesome! She was super sweet and sent so many awesome update pictures of our cat. She left our house clean and was responsive and flexible. When our travel plans changed she saved our butt and was able to watch our cat really short notice. We will 100% use her again!
I had a very hectic booking due to moving right before my trip was starting and a flight delay on the way back, but Yvette was communicative and flexible throughout it all. My senior dog has some special health needs, but he and my apartment seemed well cared for while I was gone. Thank you again for taking care of Olaf, I would be happy to book again in the future! :)
Look no further! You have found your sitter! Natalie is extremely poised, communicative, loving with our pets. We have only left our tiny toy poodles once before, so we are as neurotic as they come. At our “meet and greet”, our most shy one let Natalie hold her as we walked around the house and outside. Natalie is what we would call a dog-whisperer. Her personality is so calm, our babies trusted her immediately.

FAQs for House Sitting - Fort Worth
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Fort Worth on Rover is $37.6 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 3,407 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fort Worth. 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 Fort Worth 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 Fort Worth 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 Fort Worth 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Fort Worth. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
