“The boys were happy during their stay!! They received lots of ❤️, cuddles, and back scratches. Bre provided me with frequent updates and pictures. I will definitely use her services again!!”
“I've had sitters for years, most providing an excellent service. But Deanna Morgan is the champion! I don't even know where to start. From caring for my fur babies and my home to the regular communication whilst I was away, she went above and beyond. Her kindness and concern stretched across thousand of miles even to me. She claims my babies missed me but when I arrived (after the excited mummy cuddles) they checked the open doorway behind me and I know they weren't expecting Amazon! I can't say enough wonderful things about Deanna. However I don't want to give her such a good review that her diary books up and I lose the best sitter ever.”
“Shonda is the person you hire to watch your dog when you want peace of mind that your pup is in the best hands when you’re out of town. I cannot say enough good things about her. She sent plenty of pics and videos, Bella absolutely loves her (and vice versa), and she left the house clean for us. There are people who do ‘just enough’ to make you feel comfortable, and then there are people who go ‘raise the bar’ and truly go above and beyond your dog to take care of and love on your fur baby. That’s Shonda. We will definitely book her again!”
“Una was very caring attentive and loving to my girls they were calm and settled when I returned. She took good care of my home as well I recommend Una and would definitely book with her again.”
“Blanca was amazing. She was so patient with our nervous and anxious dog. All of our animals, cats and dogs, received their medicine and all special food needs were met.”
“Charley did a great job! My dogs were happy, and when we returned home, it was like we never left! She responded to messages, and she sent videos and pictures. I will be using her again in the future!”
“Winta, as always, did an exceptional job taking care of our two furry children. She even had to deal with a random broken claw and handled it all calmly and lovingly. She's a tremendous sitter and will care for our pets like her own. Highly recommended!”
“Mikalah was amazing with our dogs! She house sat for a full week and we could not have asked for a better experience. She went above and beyond with the dogs and our house. She sent multiple pictures and updates a day. We will definitely be repeat customers!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Katherine caring for Charlie! From the beginning, communication was excellent, and it was clear that Charlie was in caring and capable hands. We appreciated the updates, photos, and attention given to his needs while we were away. Charlie was happy, relaxed, and well cared for, which gave us great peace of mind. It’s not always easy leaving your pet with someone else, but this experience exceeded our expectations. We would absolutely book again and highly recommend Katherine to other pet parents looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely caring.”
“Amy was incredible! I am usually worried when I leave Molly with anyone, but she took to Amy immediately. We are excited for our next trip because we know we have found a great sitter.”
“Kristen was so sweet to our Lexie and Lexie really loved her! Kristen is very organized and responsible. She was excellent at following the directions I left her regarding Lexie and the house. I trusted her completely! I highly recommend Kristen for your pet sitting needs!”
“John was able to watch our 3 cats on short notice. He followed complex feeding instructions to make sure that our cat with behavioral issues was fed on a regular schedule in a variety of special feeders. He was also very responsive and a pleasure to work with.”
About: I’ve grown up with multiple pets in the household and have taken care of many close friends’ and neighbors pets! I love animals so much! I work a eight-hour shift M-F, so I’m able to spend all my time with pets both before and after work. Also depending on the location, I can always pay your pet a visit on my break. I always make time for play, walks, and care whenever I’m available. Understanding and learning your pets boundaries are key. All pets have certain personalities that dictate behavior and personal interest. I am a very flexible person and will take my time to make sure the pet is comfortable and trusting of me.
About: From puppies to seniors, I love having a furry companion by my side! I’d love to take your loved one for a walk, give them some fresh air and attention, or care for them while you’re away. Since you’re just getting started with Rover and currently have more flexibility in your schedule, I’d frame it positively without emphasizing being unemployed. Something like: Pet care is a great fit for my current routine because I’m in the process of getting started with Rover and have a flexible schedule. I’m able to dedicate time throughout the week to walks, drop-ins, and giving pets the attention and care they need. I’m looking forward to building pet care into my regular routine while providing reliable and consistent care for pet owners. I currently do not offer at home sitting service. I’ll be happy to discuss arranging dog-sitting at your lovely home if needed. Thank you for your consideration.
“Hunter was incredible! Took such great care of our Poppy while we were away on a trip. This was our first time leaving Poppy, and Hunter took such fabulous care of her, following her puppy schedule, and provided us with updates and photos during our time away!”
“Michael is a life saver! One of our dogs got kennel cough 4 days before we were leaving the country during the holidays. I was in a panic! I heard about Rover and I began to look for someone who could take care of our sick pup. Michael was so responsive and even came over that very day to meet me and meet our dog. He took a very anxiety ridden moment for me and a squashed the situation in a matter of hours. He sent updates the entire trip. Our dog was crazy about him. He took great care of our house. Very trustworthy, and we will definitely use him again. This day and age to find someone who is communicative, kind, and trustworthy is a rare treat and a total blessing. I highly recommend him.”
“Chanel was wonderful will my babies. She watched all five of my animals (2 dogs and 3 cats) so she definitely had her hands full and she was still able to send me updates multiple times a day. My babies loved her and I will definitely be using her services again.”
“Meagan was amazing. She took great care of my girls and sent me updates every time she came over to take care of them. She was very attentive and caring. I highly recommend her if you need someone to watch you fur babies. Thanks Meagan.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Irving
I don’t think that I could’ve got a better dog sitter. I had someone else cancel on me the day before we’re supposed to leave for an 8 day trip. From start to finish Taia was wonderful with taking care of my dogs. She sent pictures, updates and when we came back the apartment looked the exact same if no better than how we left it. I’m going to book her for every stay from here on out!!!
Winta was amazing with our two pups - she found creative ways to keep them entertained with it being so hot outside, and sent lots of updates with adorable pictures. She was super responsive and proactive in her communication, and went the extra mile to leave our house in tip top shape. Couldn’t recommend her more!
Neha did a wonderful job with Rigby and Mordecai. She followed their routine perfectly, kept me in the loop, and reached out whenever she had a question or concerns. The boys got plenty of cuddles and care while she was here. We’d happily have her watch them again!
Una did a great job caring for my dog and left my home in great condition. My pup seemed happy, healthy, and well taken care of when I returned, and we also received plenty of updates and pictures, which gave us peace of mind. From beginning to end, her response time was always super quick and appreciated. One small issue we ran into was with the door lock. A day into the booking, our smart lock notified us that the door had been left unlocked. To be fair, our lock can be a little finicky, and we reached out to explain how it works. It seemed like she tried to lock it, but unfortunately, we still came home to the door unlocked. Since our most valuable possession (Charlie) was inside, a quick confirmation would have been reassuring. We also learned that our pup was left alone a bit longer than we had expected. We knew Una worked 8 hour shifts, but it looked like she left a few hours before those shifts began, which meant my dog was alone longer than anticipated. Overall, Una was a good sitter, and I think the hiccups we had could have been avoided if we had gone over a few more details and made sure we were all on the same page beforehand.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Irving on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 5,538 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.
