“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.”
“Nikki is very sweet to our baby. We know our dog is in great hands and trust Nikki to sit her when we're out of town. If you're looking for someone to look after your fur baby, and if she's available, do not hesitate to book with Nikki in advance! Me and my wife cannot recommend her enough.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Hunter is great and my dogs love him. I would highly recommend hunter for anyone that is looking for house sitting. This is ideal for our dogs because they are used to someone being home with them most of the time and at night so I can go on vacation and not worry that my fur babies are stressed rather I know they are in good hands and having a fun time with Hunter!”
“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.”
“Isaiah was wonderful with Waffles! She felt comfortable jumping right up in his lap and hanging out right alongside him the entire time they spent together. The updates were great, I'll be requesting him to keep Waffles company in the future!”
About: What sets me apart is the amount of real experience I’ve had taking care of my family’s dogs over the years. I’ve looked after dogs of all ages and sizes, so I’m very comfortable adjusting to whatever a dog needs. Puppies, big energetic dogs, seniors who need a slower pace , none of it is a hassle for me. I’m patient, responsible, and used to handling different routines and personalities. I really enjoy making dogs feel safe, cared for, and understood, and I always treat them the same way I’d treat my own. Pet care fits into my routine really well. I’m a college student, and I usually like to work on my holiday breaks or weekends. I’m a little far from home during the week, but it’s not a bad drive, so I go home on weekends and have plenty of time to help with pets. Taking care of dogs is something I enjoy, so fitting it into my schedule feels easy and natural for me I take care of pets by keeping their routine as close to normal as possible. In a client’s home, I follow the schedule you already have in place for feeding, walks, playtime, and bathroom breaks. I make sure your dog feels comfortable, safe, and relaxed by giving them plenty of attention and keeping an eye on their behavior and needs. I always keep things clean, stay respectful of your home, and update you with pictures and messages so you know your pet is doing great. I focus on making every dog feel cared for and treated the same way they’re treated by their own family.
“He was so good with my babies! Would definitely hire again, professional and a great animal lover. Shawn handled everything with care; making sure all my fur babies felt at ease with me gone.”
“Shanda was so thoughtful to us and our pup. She came in during an emergency trip we needed to take and we could not ask for more. Her updates made us feel so comfortable. We knew Eve was safe and having a great time. Highly recommend her for any care because she will spoil your fur baby like a grandparent.”
“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.”
“Brandi was a wonderful and communicative house sitter for my golden retriever, June. I will definitely book with her again in the future. June got to swim and run a couple of errands with Brandi, and I got photo updates during the stay!”
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.

I understand the importance of maintaining routines, providing regular exercise, feeding schedules, and plenty of attention and affection. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with companionship, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. My goal is to provide a loving environment where dogs can thrive, whether they are staying in their own home or in mine. If you want something that helps you stand out, you could add: As a teacher, patience, consistency, and attentiveness come naturally to me. I understand that every dog is unique and deserves individualized care, clear communication, and lots of positive attention. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine right now because I am on summer break from teaching and have a flexible schedule. This allows me to provide plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and companionship throughout the day rather than only being available during limited hours. Whether your pet needs regular walks, frequent potty breaks, medication reminders, or simply extra company, I have the time and flexibility to make their care a priority and ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I prioritize each pet’s safety, comfort, and routine. In my home, pets receive plenty of supervision, attention, exercise, and affection. Because my yard is not fenced, all outdoor time is closely supervised and dogs are kept on a leash for walks, potty breaks, and outdoor activities. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routines, feeding schedules, exercise needs, and house rules to help pets feel secure and comfortable. I maintain clear communication with owners and treat every pet with the same care and respect I would give my own.
“We had a great experience with Chanel! She was quick to respond, and took great care of our fur baby and house while we were away. We appreciated all of the pictures and videos she sent. She went above and beyond and we will definitely be using her again!”
About: I have over 8 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Throughout the years, I’ve provided feeding, walking, playtime, administering medication when needed, and plenty of love and attention. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I take pride in making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m reliable, patient, and attentive, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind by providing dependable, compassionate care and regular updates throughout each visit or stay. Schedule I have a flexible schedule and am available most weekdays, weekends, and holidays. I can accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits and will do my best to work around your pet’s routine. I also accept last-minute bookings whenever my schedule allows. My goal is to provide dependable, consistent care that’s convenient for both you and your pet. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I take that responsibility seriously. I always follow your pet’s routine, respect any special instructions, and make sure they receive the attention, exercise, and care they need. I provide a calm, loving, and stress-free environment where pets can feel safe and comfortable. I carefully monitor pets during walks and playtime, keep a close eye on their behavior, and never leave them unattended in unsafe situations. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away, knowing your pet is in caring and reliable hands.
“I hired Grace to watch my 10 week old puppy, Samba in my house for the day. She was my first hired sitter to ever watch him and I had the best experience! She was so attentive and sent me multiple updates throughout the evening, which really calmed any nerves I had. Poor Samba even became sick and threw up on our carpet while Grace was watching him. She texted me right away, cleaned everything up, and was so understanding and kind about the situation. When we got home, we couldn’t even tell where he got sick because she cleaned it up right away with products. I appreciate her so much, I will definitely be a returning customer! :)”
“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.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Irving is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Irving
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!
Ashley was great! I contacted her last minute for an emergency business trip that came up and she was available. She came a couple of days before to meet my baby. She arrived promptly for me to go to the airport on time. I was receiving multiple pictures throughout each day. Kira was very well taken care of. Sometimes she has problems eating if I'm not around but she ate for Ashley. I came back to a happy dog and and a a house in the same condition that I left it in. I would 100% hire Ashley again.
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.

FAQs for House Sitting - Irving
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Irving on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 5,628 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.
