“Brandy provided exceptional care for our dogs during our weekend absence. The open communication we maintained was greatly appreciated. We received regular updates and photographs while we were away. We are confident that we will rebook with Brandy in the future.”
“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. ☺️”
“We were so pleased with Cayla! We’ve tried a couple others through Rover but this has been the best so far. Cayla took incredible care of both the dogs and house. Her prompt communication was much appreciated. After our trip we immediately starting to plan out our summer needs with her because we would love to have her back.”
“Jennifer is wonderful. Communicates clearly and is gentle and soft spoken with my high energy Frenchie. I can go to work knowing he is in good hands. She sends updates and pictures during her time at the house and leaves things in order. I would recommend her.”
“Sonia was amazing. She house/dog sat our 2 dogs for 5 days. She was very communicative the whole time sending us pictures and videos of our babies the whole time. We could tell they were well loved and played with while we were gone. They seemed very happy and comfortable with Sonia. The house was nice and clean when we got back. I highly recommend Sonia to pet or house sit. We will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Julia is wonderful and made both me and my animals feel very comfortable while we are on vacation. We are a mixed need and breed household and she was able to accommodate all of them. Will absolutely be booking with her again”
“This was our first time using Rover and we needed a house sitter for about 9 days and let me tell you, Amy was literally the best house sitter we could've hoped for! She watched our two dogs giving them all the love! Also the professional photos we got of our pups while we were away was such an added bonus!”
“Kelsie did a wonderful job of caring for our two dogs, cat, and rabbits. She is very professional, reliable and communicative, and we would definitely have her sit for us again.”
About: I’ve helped friends and covered for pet care and love to interact with friendly pups and kitties! I make sure to provide food, water, and essential play time. I communicate frequently with updates and follow special instructions for specific care. I have my own kitty at home but others are welcome with open arms! I’m a full time student in architecture but I care for my kitty daily of course. I desginate time around and in between classes. I’m especially available during school breaks. I have a very gentle, cuddly kitty that would love to be friends with your pup or kitty but I can easily separate them in different spaces if need. I do check-ins throughout the day or stay in at home to ensure they're feeling well in the space! Food, water, and playtime are always a priority for their happiness.
“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.”
“Emi was truly amazing with our pup Olive! We appreciated her strong communication skills and loved receiving pictures throughout the weekend. Truth- Olive ate better for Emi than she eats for us!!😂 We will definitely be booking with Emi again- thank you so much!!”
About: I am an avid lover of animals and take my treatment of them to heart. I can keep your pup or kitty very happy and very healthy. My last old guy was a diabetic with a thyroid condition for the last 8 years of his life (2 insulin shots a day. 2 thyroid pills a day.) I’m very comfortable with giving medicine or shots to any animal. That includes emergency situations or routine management for the fur babies. My schedule is very flexible right now. I’m available most every day except for special occasions. I have a routine cancellation policy, but I’m pretty chill. I have a big fenced yard with beautiful grass and lots of things to smell. My house is single story with lots of open space for zoomies.
About: I have experience with all sorts of animals. I have worked with dogs and cats and most other household pets including snakes and birds. I have also worked with horses and most livestock farm animals. I make a daily roster of animals to care for and schedule my time accordingly. I care for my animals first always and help my community with animal care needs. I have a large fenced yard with room to run. I have 2 female dogs that are well trained and managed. The smaller mutt is elderly (11) and has a room of her own where she will put herself as needed. My big girl Sally, the Bernese is friendly to all animals large or small and really the very best calm neutral dog I have ever known.
“We left both our dogs with Finley for a week while we were out of town and came home to happy dogs and an amazingly clean home. Finley is friendly, responsible, and he was very flexible with a few unexpected issues that came up while we were away. We would absolutely have him stay with our pups again.”
“First off, Adria is amazing! She is dependable/flexible and great with animals! She watched my dogs at my home and left everything tidy and my dogs loved her! Your dogs will be well cared for and your home will be also!”
“Nathan was fabulous! He was very calming when meeting the dogs for the first time, and he did everything we asked just perfectly. We will definitely call him again!”
“Mariam was the ideal dog sitter - her care for our pups was so evident. They clearly loved their time with her and seemed so happy/well regulated when we got back from our trip. We have already booked her for a second trip after our experience! Highly recommend!”
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Irving is $53 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $35 and $95 per night. 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 917 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Irving. 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 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 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 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.

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.
