“Brandy was great for sitting for our small dog. She is very organized and responsive, good at communicating, and great with his special quirks. I would not hesitate to use her again!”
“She did great! I was updated on my pups throughout my trip and felt very comfortable with her watching them. She left the house so close to how I left it, you couldn't even tell someone stayed there. Will book again. ☺️”
“Sydnee was an absolute shining star of a sitter. She took fantastic care of my big boy Clyde (130 lbs, Great Pyr), and was very prompt and responsive to all messages. My house was well taken care of as well. I really appreciate how detailed her messages were and how her updates included lots of pictures from different points of the day. I really felt that she took it to heart to stay close to Clyde and give him the companionship and support he needed. I would 100% recommend her to anyone in need of dog/house sitting, and especially those who need a person who can handle a big breed.”
“Alivia did an amazing job with my reactive, 60 lb Old English Sheepdog. Willa took to her immediately, which is rare and means she has the BEST vibes. She stayed with Willa in our apartment while I was out of state, gave regular updates, wasn’t afraid to ask questions, and I arrived home to a happy, healthy sheepdog and a clean apartment.”
“Olivia was did a wonderful job taking care of my 11 year old dog. They went out for regular daily walks and she even kept me updated with pictures. My house was clean when I returned and the flowers/garden had been watered regularly in my absence. I would not hesitate to book Olivia again for dog and house sitting.”
“This was our first booking with Marla. We scheduled a meet and greet and Marla was available and punctual. She has a very calm demeanor and our 3 dogs were very comfortable with her. We have a large German shepherd that has an intimidating bark and Marla was very calm with her. Marla sent me updates and photos everyday and took our dogs for walks. I came home to happy dogs. Marla also kept everything tidy in the house and dog poop was all picked up in the backyard. Marla also watered our plants and vegetables. I would definitely recommend Marla and rebook her again to watch our dogs.”
“We couldn’t ask for anyone better than Kaylee! She takes the absolute best care of our dog and cat while we are away that we never have an ounce of worry. Our animals love her, and she is extremely reliable and great with communication. We cannot recommend Kaylee enough, we wish we could give her 10 stars. Thank you!!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and have experience with all aspects of pet care. I’m reliable, active, and comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I love giving pets the attention, exercise, and care they deserve, and my flexible schedule allows me to spend plenty of quality time with your pets while you’re away. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own! I have a very flexible schedule and am available anytime, making it easy for me to accommodate different pet care needs. I’m able to work around your schedule and provide consistent, reliable care when you need it. I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment for every dog in their home. I’ll respect your space and your pet’s routine, follow your care instructions closely, and make sure they feel secure and well cared for while you’re away.
“Ada did a terrific job. She and my dog, Pinot, bonded well and she was wonderful in caring for him and my house. I felt really comfortable leaving everything in great hands while I was out of the country for a week. We were able to remain in contact and she sent me periodic updates and a few photos as well. I highly recommend her services and hope to schedule her again for a future engagement.”
“Amy house sat our two big dogs while we were out of town. She is a fantastic communicator and she clearly loves dogs! She is very professional and thorough, asked us tons of questions about our habits and preferences regarding our dogs. While we were gone she sent photos daily and little updates. Highly recommend, will definitely use again! Thanks Amy!”
About: I’ve always had a love for animals and believe every pet deserves the same care, attention, and affection they get at home. I have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, from energetic puppies who need lots of playtime to older pets who need a gentler touch. I’m active and love going on walks, but I also know how important cuddles, patience, and routines are for pets to feel secure. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playtime, or just keeping your furry friend company, I treat every pet as if they were my own I am a stay at home mom, so I can easily be with your pets all day! I am very active, so I love to take walks and do lots of potty breaks. We have a fenced yard so they can play outside. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. In my home, I make sure the environment is clean, pet-friendly, and free from hazards. I keep a consistent routine with feeding, potty breaks, and playtime so pets feel comfortable and secure. In a client’s home, I always respect their space and follow their instructions closely, from feeding schedules to favorite walking routes, to keep things as familiar as possible for their pet. I also send regular photo and text updates so pet parents have peace of mind knowing their furry loved one is happy and safe.
About: I have always loved animals! I have taken care of many animals of all shapes, sizes, breeds, and types!! Anything you need I can do and will do happily! I am completely available during the entire week I would just have to work around my classes which I have very large breaks in between each for! Whenever I am petsitting I always leave the house cleaner than I found it, and make sure the pets are fed and have clean water and have been taken out and used the bathroom
“Elora really helped us out when our previous sitter was beyond disappointing. It means so much to have someone love your pets when you are away. We feel very confident in her abilities to take care of our babies like we would. Will for sure reach out to her again!”
“Alix did an overnight & did an amazing job following directions and keeping me updated! She also did my requested meet and greet with my little baby so that they could get acquainted before I left. Very nice! I hope Alix will be available next time I need help!”
“Shay was a very caring and compassionate cat sitter and helped us immensely with our injured kitty. It's great to know we have someone we can trust that can care for Happy and highly recommend.”
“During the initial meet and greet, it was immediately clear that Alyssa and Eve have a genuine love for animals. This gave us confidence in entrusting our animals to their care while we were away. Out of our three animals, two required special attention, including scheduled trips to the veterinarian. Alyssa and Eve were not only willing but happy to accommodate these needs, demonstrating their dedication and flexibility. Throughout our 18-day absence, Alyssa and Eve kept us informed by sending regular updates and pictures. This consistent communication reassured us that our animals were in good hands. When we returned home, we were pleased to find our house clean and our animals healthy and content. Alyssa and Eve’s attentive care made our time away worry-free and ensured our animals’ well-being.”
“Stone is fantastic! Frequent updates, anything that we may have missed on our instructions was asked about via text and mainly Stone just seems to be great with Buddy who is kind of a sensitive guy. We were held up an extra night after missing a connecting flight because of the airline’s delay, Stone had no other commitment and extended our booking and pretty much saved the day! A huge relief”
“Rachel was wonderful, she followed all my instructions and sent me photos everyday of my two girls, Irish Setters. She let them sleep with her which they loved. My home was spotless and all water bowls were filled. I will definitely hire Rachel again.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Irving is $45

Cayla was wonderful with Buddy while I was in Scottsdale! He means the world to me, and I’m so grateful she took such great care of him while I was away. Having someone I could trust with him gave me so much peace of mind. I would absolutely book with Cayla again and highly recommend her. Thank you, Cayla! 🐾
Ruby was a lifesaver for us and our 3 dogs + 3 cats. After having a very stressful sitter experience with someone else, we were scrambling to find a last minute sitter who could care for our dogs who have developed separation anxiety and can’t be left alone for too long. Ruby hopped on board last minute, provided clear and consistent updates, cared amazingly for all of our animals, and even went above and beyond with cleaning. She also was able to expertly give two of our animals’ important medications twice a day every day, and let us know each time that it went well so we didn’t have to worry. She provided personalized care for each of our animals, which span from a shy kitty, to a 6 year old 100+ lb Pyrenees with hip dysplasia, to a 9 month old puppy who isn’t easy to walk on leash! Highly recommend Ruby’s care to anyone feeling anxious about leaving their beloved animals.
Julia is a fantastic sitter! This is the second time I’ve worked with her but this was the first time she’s stayed overnight and it was a holiday! She’s so reliable, cares about your dogs and gives good updates and lots of pictures! She’s also very good at giving meds to a sometimes difficult dog and when my dog got an upset stomach, she communicated with me right away. I felt very comfortable leaving my babies with her!! We will definitely be working with Julia again!
Had a great experience and all my animals (3 cats and 2 dogs) were well taken care of! My cat who usually needs time to love people was snuggling her within a couple of hours (to give uou an idea how good she is with animals). I will happily request and ideally only use Mathison in the future!

The average cost of House Sitting in Irving is $53 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $95 per night.

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 Irving 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 Irving 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 Irving 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 , 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 .
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 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
