“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.”
“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!”
“Amy was amazing—she was patient with my pets and on top of a difficult medication dosing and anxiety issues. She went above and beyond in every way. And because of that the pets ended up loving her. We will definitely use her again.”
“Shanda was a wonderful sitter for our dog Lukas. 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.
“I booked in-home care with Wanqing for the two foster kittens I'm caring for while I was away for 11 days, and I couldn't be happier with my experience. From the very beginning, communication was prompt, clear, and reliable. Before the booking even began, Wanqing took the time to come meet the girls and do a walkthrough of my apartment, which immediately gave me peace of mind. Throughout my trip, she sent thoughtful daily updates along with photos. Since the kittens weren't used to her at first and spent a lot of time hiding, I really appreciated how patient she was. She even took the initiative to research kitten behavior, ask friends for advice, and bring over different toys to help them feel more comfortable. That level of care and dedication meant a lot to me. When I returned home, the girls had grown so much. They were happy, healthy, and noticeably more social. As someone fostering them with the goal of finding them loving forever homes, continuing their socialization while I was away was one of my biggest concerns, and Wanqing did a wonderful job supporting that. What stood out most was that her care didn't end when the booking did. She followed up the next day to make sure I had arrived home safely and that the girls were settling back in well. Overall, I'm so glad I chose Wanqing. She genuinely cares about animals and their well-being, and it shows in everything she does. I would absolutely trust her with my pets again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate, patient, and dependable pet sitter.”
“Excellent sitter. On time kept us informed on how things were going and very friendly and dependable. Wouldn’t hesitate to welcome. Lanka back whenever we are in town.”
About: I have had a pet ever since I can remember! I can walk, pet sit, or anything that your furry friend might need. I also speak Spanish! I recently graduated from college and moved to the area for a new job. I’m available during nights and weekends to help you and your furry family members! I will make sure that your pet is taken care of - there is no task too small or too big! Safety always comes first, then the fun!
About: I worked at The Charming Cat Corner for nearly 2 years learning all there is to know about cats, their health, behavior and insuring they are in a clean, happy environment. I have also done veterinary reception where i have some skills working professionally with dogs and cats(and bunnies). I also grew up around lots of dogs and currently have 6 cats of my own who i love very much ! I have a completely open schedule this will be my only job. I am wanting to step away from the retail side of the Cat Cafe and focus solely on animal care. I will provide plenty of playtime, Cuddles, Long walks, Cat Tv, Toys or treats, i have a special bond with animals and will connect with them and learn their personality very quickly !
“Hunter is great! We booked him for the first time and have nothing but good things to say. Hunter communicates very well, is great with our animals, and was quick to get our dog medical help when he had an issue during our trip. Thanks Hunter!”
“Chanel is not just a dog sitter; she's a magical unicorn in the world of pet care! Jasper had a blast with her, and we couldn't be happier. Punctual, kind, and armed with a killer sense of humor, Chanel is the whole package. The videos and photos she shared were gold, but her witty captions stole the show, and Jasper was clearly living his best life We've already marked our calendars with her and we’re counting down the days until our next adventure, with Jasper safe and sound under Chanel's expert care.”
“Nashi was phenomenal! One of our pups wasn’t feeling well right before we left, and it’s always difficult to leave when something like that is going on. Nashi stepped right in and took excellent care, provided updates, and calmed my worried mind. We absolutely recommend Nashi and will be requesting her care again in the future for our pups, too.”
About: I've been caring helping my family to care for our animals since I was 8— and I had a cat of my own for 13 years, so I know what steady, attentive care looks like over the long haul. I've pet sat kittens and puppies for friends, handling feeding and medication schedules while owners were away. I've also given regular diabetes medication to a friend's cat, so I'm confident administering medication reliably and on schedule. I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule for pet care. I'm available after 3:30pm Tuesday through Friday, and completely free all day Saturday through Monday. This makes me a great fit for house sitting, whether it's a quick weekday check-in or a full weekend stay where I can be there around the clock. Since I only offer house sitting, I care for pets entirely in their own home, keeping their routine and environment as consistent as possible. I follow the owner's instructions closely for feeding, medication, and exercise schedules, and I'm comfortable administering medication when needed. I treat every home with the same care and respect I'd want for my own, making sure doors and gates stay secured and pets are never left unsupervised for long stretches.
“Uma really cared for my pups. It can be hard to leave your fur babies but Uma made sure they were loved, fed, walked and kept company. It was a great relief knowing someone was taking such good care.”
About: Hi, I'm Marquette! I work from home and welcome one household at a time, with up to two pets from the same family. I don't have pets of my own, so your dog can settle in without sharing their stay with unfamiliar animals. I grew up with dogs, previously had one of my own, and started boarding clients in early 2026. I like learning the little things: where your dog likes to sleep, how they ask to go out, and what helps them feel at home. If they're shy, I'll give them time to warm up. I'll follow their usual routine, including meals and any medication given as instructed. My clients often mention the detailed photos and updates I send. Before your booking, we'll agree on how often you'd like to hear from me and your preferred way to stay in touch. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so meals, potty breaks, walks, and company fit into my day. I also provide walks and drop-in visits, so we'll discuss your pet's routine and any time I'll be away before booking. For boarding, I can usually offer potty breaks every 2-4 hours. For house sitting, we'll agree on overnight care, daytime visits, and how long your pets are comfortable being alone so you know what to expect. I live in an apartment close to Dallas Love Field, with a park right across the street for walks and sniff breaks. There's one enclosed, fenced patio area with no exterior exit. Patio time is supervised, and walks are suited to your dog's needs. Dogs are welcome on the furniture and bed. I host one household at a time and have no resident pets or children. I'll follow your feeding, medication, and care instructions, and we'll talk through any escape habits, separation anxiety, or handling concerns before the stay. I carry pet-care insurance through Pet Sitters Associates for boarding, house sitting, walks, and drop-ins.
“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.”

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!

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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.
