“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!!”
“Susan (Nikki) was an outstanding sitter for our Lola. She was very kind to her and showed love to her while we were away, which is what every pet parent wants while away. If she needed to leave Lola for errands or something came up, Susan would communicate with us to let us know. At the end of the day, we were able to have some stress free time off knowing our dog was in great hands.”

We went on a 10 day vacation and each morning we received daily video and photos, as well as thorough updates regarding his health and their activities. I really appreciated Shanda's excellent communication, consistent promptness, and overall common sense. I can't say enough about how good our experience with Shanda was. She'll definitely be the first person we contact the next time we need a pet / house sitter.”

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. 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.
About: Pets have been in my life since I was barely walking, I have a strong love for animals. I truly believe they make this world a happier and better place. I want nothing more than to help humans take care of their fur babies. Open Monday-Thursday:5pm-11pm Friday-5pm-all night Saturday-Sunday All day/night I am a teacher who has many holidays and random days off in the year so my schedule is always scheduled to change for more openings I make sure my home is at all times suitable and safe for pets to feel at home and comfortable. Also adding extra care, love, and whichever food is given by their caretaker.
“Chaka was amazing with my girl! She has a special temperament at times and they seemed to get on just fine without me. As long as she is willing I will have Chaka back time and again.”
About: Hi there! My name is Ashley and I'm a HUGE dog and cat lover. I primarily pet-sit in Texas and NYC (occasionally in Virginia). A bit more about me: I rescued, fostered, and adopted 10+ feral kittens to their forever homes during the pandemic on my own. I also had and trained two big furry babies back in Texas named Bentley (German-Shepard/Collie Mix, 75lbs) and Poppy (Golden Retriever, 85lbs) before they passed the rainbow bridge. My purpose: I am looking to give our four-legged besties some love while helping other fur parents feel comfortable about not being with them. I'm familiar with taking care of different types of breeds, sizes, ages, and medical conditions (giving IV fluids, diabetes shots, oral pills, etc.). I will treat your precious baby with love and care and will make sure everyone has a great time! I know how scary it can be leaving your baby under someone else's care but I hope to eliminate that fear as I send many updates with pictures to keep you impressed and reassured. I can't wait to meet you and your fur baby soon! Tell me about your baby's usual daily schedule and we can adjust as needed! Most of the time my schedule tends to be flexible so we should not have an issue. Give me a list of your daily routines and norms! Let me know the little details/their habits (like they scratch the floor because they want more food or you know something is wrong if they don't eat their chicken because they never say no to chicken). Show me where everything is and who to call if something were to ever happen (but hopefully I never have to use the emergency number/emergency vet!). I'll make sure to read any instructions you give me multiple times and ask if I think anything is missing!
“I can’t leave enough reviews for Ms. Nita! She is the number #1 and only person we trust to take care of my dog babies while I am gone. She takes care of them like they are hers. I am very grateful for Ms. Nita”

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Irving is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $89 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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.
