“Dani was amazing! She took such good care of my pup and home for a week. She sent detailed updates with pictures every day. And she also took care of some plants for me. I came home to a happy dog and a clean house. She was fantastic!”
“Brandy was awesome! Super professional, great communication - loved getting photo updates while we were gone! Came home to happy dogs and a clean house. Thanks Brandy!!”
“Destiny is great! She stayed with my dog, Sasha, for five days in my home. Everyday she provided an update and pictures which was so nice to know that everything was going well. Destiny also has great communication and responds quickly. I so appreciate the wonderful care she provided to Sasha. Will definitely be booking Destiny in the future!”
“Sydnee took very good care of our dog, Gabriel while we were on vacation. Sydnee sent daily pictures and updates about our dog. I will definitely be rebooking with Sydnee in the future!”
“From start to finish our experience with Cayla was 5 star. She communicates very well, is thoughtful, reliable and the dogs loved her. She left our home in excellent condition and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her or hire her again. Thank you Cayla!”
“Amelia was a fantastic sitter for our 3 pets! She was very responsive to our text check-ins, but also proactively sent updates, which we appreciated. She seemed to really care about our dog and cats, and their individual needs and personalities. We felt like they were in good hands while we were away--we will definitely have her sit for our pets again!”
“Rosa was so wonderful with my two cats, she took her time to make them feel comfortable and gave them lots of attention. She did a great job of sending photos and providing updates to keep me posted on how the visit was going. I will definitely book Rosa as a pet sitter again in the future!”
“Olivia was really wonderful. She took great care of our pups and send regular updates and photos. She was great and communicating with us and very responsive to our messages. Will definitely hire her again!”
“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.”
“Chelsea cared for my small senior female dog over a holiday weekend. Unfortunately my dog was scared but Chelsea didn’t stop thinking of ways to get her comfortable as well as communicating with me frequently.”
“Mahalia is the best sitter of all time. I have have 10+ through rover, and they all do fine, but Mahalia went above and beyond to ensure everything was great from day 1 to the end of my travels. My dog is selective, and she passed every test 10x. I will be using her on every trip she’s available for me!!”
“I'm very happy with Maggie who stayed at my home with two dogs and a cat for 3 days, 2 nights. She's obviously an animal lover and they all like her. My home looked great on my return and all the pets were happy. I am using Maggie again in the near future and am comfortable recommending her for overnight stays.”
“Rachel took special, precious care of all of our pets! She was so present in providing pictures and updates to reassure us of how they were doing! We will definitely use her for our next get away!”
About: Im a lifelong dog lover with four dogs of my own. Active, reliable, flexible, and experienced with puppies. I’ll treat your pup like family. I work for myself, giving me a flexible schedule and plenty of free time to provide your dog with attention, walks, playtime, potty breaks and companionship. I’m unable to host other dogs in my home because I have four dogs of my own, but I’m happy to provide care through walks, drop-ins, and house sitting.
“Caralisa took such great care of our kitty, we are definitely booking her again!!! Thank you for going the extra mile and giving us peace of mind while away on vacation🤍”
“Llewyn was amazing! I have a high anxiety dog who is always getting in trouble and Llewyn made my travels so relaxing. She had everything handled. I highly recommend.”
“Kaitlyn wall did a wonderful job taking care of our dog and three cats for an overnight. I would definitely recommend her. When she came to return the key, our dog went happily up to her and lay down at her feet—there’s the proof right there! Plus she sent pics of the animals and was a great communicator before, during, and after her stay.”
“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.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Irving is $45
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Irving
We had Rachel sit with our dog for the night. Our dog loved her. I always have some anxiety when I leave our Pom. Rachel sent me lots of pics which was very comforting knowing that our dog was happy and enjoying her time with Rachel. We will definitely be having her stay with our dog again. We can vacation knowing that the dog and house are in good hands with Rachel.
I cannot recommend her enough! She took such wonderful care of my German Shepherd Boxer mix, Luna, while I was away. Luna can be a little high maintenance and has some anxiety, so leaving her is never easy. When I got home, she was incredibly calm, happy, and clearly well cared for. That gave me so much peace of mind. My home was also spotless when I returned, which was such an unexpected and appreciated gift after traveling. It was obvious that she treated both Luna and my home with genuine care and respect. I am so grateful for the love, patience, and attention she gave Luna. Knowing my dog was safe, comfortable, and cared for meant everything to me. I would absolutely trust her with Luna again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable, thoughtful, and truly exceptional.
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!
We (and our cats) loved Felix! This was our first time using rover and our first time being away from our pets for a week but Felix helped ease any anxiousness. They sent us daily photo updates about our cats and provided us with updates on how they were reacting to having someone new in the house. When our toilet decided to act up Felix provided above and beyond service with patching it up until we got home. Our home was clean and our cats were cared for. Thanks again Felix!
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!
Auraleigha is by far one of the best experiences I have ever had on Rover. She was both very respectful of and lighthearted about my cat's particularities and he is a big diva- so, him being good after my absence says a lot about her caretaking abilities. Her communication style was responsive without being overly-detailed. On top of all of that, she took the time to clean up extra for my arrival home. 10/5 stars!
Abigail B. was a fantastic sitter. She loved my girls and they adored her. She left my home spotless, even washed and dried all the dishes and put them away and vacuumed the carpet. Bayleigh Boo brings in sticks and makes quite the mess. Way over my expectations, sent me lots of photos and let my girls sleep with her. They are bed hogs but she didn't seem to mind. I will definitely hire her again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Irving on Rover is $53.39 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 902 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 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.

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.
