“Kathleen is a gem!! She stayed at our home for 10 nights with our 2 dogs. She sent pictures each morning and asked questions when she had any. Our home was in tip top shape when we returned and all instructions were followed perfectly. And most importantly our doggies were super happy and relaxed. I think they miss her ❤️ We’ll happily use her again!”
“Natalie did a great job taking care of our Nora in our home! Our normal dog sitter/ house sitter was busy so we had to try someone new and we made a great choice. I’m always hesitant letting new people into our home but Natalie left our home in the same condition before we left. She went above and beyond taking the garbage out, taking sheets off the bed and starting the dishwasher. She was very communicative of Nora’s needs and how she was doing while we were gone. Natalie communicated her schedule changes as it related to when Nora would be home alone. We would recommend Natalie to other rover users and will use her again!”
“Rebekah took wonderful care our dog and our house. She sent numerous, often funny, photos of our dog each day along with a summary of what they did. She left our house spotless and in many ways went above and beyond. Easily the best pet and house care we have ever experienced through Rover. We will definitely ask her to dog and house sit again.”
“I cannot recommend Janea enough! From the moment we booked, communication was seamless and professional. She kept us updated with regular messages, photos, and videos, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Our dogs absolutely loved her—and it’s clear she truly care for the pets she looks after as if they were their own. She followed all instructions perfectly and even went the extra mile with playtime, offered walks, and cuddles. We came home to a happy, healthy, and well-loved pups! If you’re looking for someone who is reliable, caring, and incredibly communicative, Jenae is the one. We’ll definitely be booking again!”
“Karen was wonderful with our three hounds. She sat with them at our house for 9 days and wasn’t fazed by their mischief. She sent many photos and videos and asked questions when they were not acting usual. We felt so much better as it was during a very cold storm and we knew they were safe.”
“I can’t say enough good things about June. I haven’t left my cat, who I consider my baby, alone in over two years. She’s become very attached to me lately so I was a bit anxious with leaving her with anyone. Before committing, I met with June and after a good meeting, my fears were completely gone. I couldn’t have found a better person to take care of my Baba. June is a very responsible and caring person. She sent photos my cat daily and I could clearly see that my cat did NOT miss me. LOL. When I returned home, my house was better than when I left. Spotless and she even changed the sheets, washed them and made the bed. An added bonus, she knew exactly when I would be home and had the garage door open so all I had to do was pull in. I couldn’t have been happier. I HIGHLY recommend her to take care of your pet. I’d give her 10 stars if I could.”
“Aurellia was so great! I got so many photos and she really did care about my dogs! I was in Mexico so I was not able to communicate with her, but she asked my neighbor about all things she needed and we were able to get the dogs what they needed because she communicated so well!!”
“Isabell did such an amazing job watching our two dogs. She was super communicative, proactive and was even nice enough to help us out with an extra morning drop in due to our evening flight being canceled, which delayed us from getting back to our pups in the evening as intended. We truly appreciate how attentive and caring she was, and will definitely book again.”
“This was our 1st experience using Rover and Beth was awesome! She made sure our pups were well cared for and took care of our home like it was her own. We can't thank her enough for all the pics and updates on our furbabies, it allowed us to relax while we were away, certain our loved ones were in good hands. Thank you so much Beth!”
About: I have owned Labrador Retrievers and Cocker Spaniels. My friends have relied on me to care for their dogs when they vacation and visit family. My experience with friends’ dogs include mixed breeds, Golden Doodles and Golden Retrievers. I am more flexible on weekends than during the week. I’m willing to come twice daily to pet, play and nurture your precious loving companion I love to play catch, walk, pet, snuggle and care for a variety of dogs. I have babysat dogs since I was twelve years old
“Great Sitter🙏 We had a great experience with our dog sitter! She stayed overnight and was incredibly responsive, proactive, and dependable. She kept us updated throughout the stay and sent us enough updates to know our dogs were doing well without us ever having to worry. It honestly made being away a lot easier knowing they were in good hands. She took the time to make sure everything was taken care of and went above and beyond what we expected. We really appreciated how reliable and communicative she was and would absolutely have her watch our dogs again. Highly recommend!”
“Dasia was great with our pups ! She was extremely organized and never missed a beat. We loved all the updates she gave us while we were away. It left us reassured that our babies and house were in great hands. Will definitely book with her again :)”
“Annie was fantastic taking care of my 2 kitties and had my shy girl on the couch with her on the first night! I highly recommend her and will definitely be booking again for our next trip! She handled medications and food perfectly, for once I really did not have to worry while I was gone. Lots of updates and pictures as well!”
About: My background in animal shelters and years of pet sitting for family and friends gave me experience with senior dogs, anxious pets, and health-related needs. I have a wide - open schedule and love using that time to care for pets. Available weekdays, weekends, and anytime in between - overnight stays are no problem at all! Whether in my home or yours, I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and happy. I love taking long walks, which provides great exercise, and bonding time, while also sticking to their regular feeding and routine schedules.
About: CARING FOR YOUR PET IS MY FULL TIME RESPONSIBILITY. Your dog's stay here will be my main focus. I live in a quiet, low traffic area near the lake. He/She will have free reign of my home and will get plenty of exercise because i have a large fenced in yard and take walks by the lake. I have several years experience house sitting, dog sitting and dog walking and can provide letters of recommendation if needed. My mother and sister also live with me and they love dogs too. You can trust that your dog will be safe and attended to in my hands. They have free reign of the house and may sleep wherever they wish unless you state otherwise. They will get LOTS of attention as somebody is always here. Your pet will be closely supervised and well cared for. Thank you for choosing me to care for your pet. Taking care of your pet is my full time job although I hesitate to call it a job. They will always have my full attention Because I care for pets full time I am always with them. Additionally I have cameras set up throughout the house. I go outside with them for playtime and potty breaks and I keep a tidy and clean environment. Currently I am taking some online pet care and cpr courses.
About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life and love them! I have helped friends and neighbors take care of their dogs along the way! I often work evenings for my job but I have time before and after work to take care of dogs! though my work days off can differ I will have time to take care of them whenever they happen I would prefer to go to the customers house to take care of their pets because as I have a great yard in my house i am not in a place where I can have them come to me right now! I show any animal I encounter great love and affection once they warm up to me! I love doing walks and making sure they are let out and fed, watered, and played with
“We will be booking with Suzanne whenever we need a sitter! She had been keeping us updated throughout our trip with pictures to make sure we are in the know with how our fur babies had been behaving. She followed all of our instructions to the T, and even helped us clean while we were gone. We could definitely tell that all of our pets were loved and cared for as if we never left because when we returned, our 2 dogs and cat were relaxed and happy. 100% would recommend to anyone that needs housesitting. 😊”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lake Dallas
I typically only have family members watch my dogs when I leave town, but this time I didn’t have that option, so I turned to Rover. Leigh was one of the first people I came across, and after seeing all of her amazing reviews, I decided to give it a shot and I’m SO glad I did! She came over for a meet and greet a few weeks before my trip, and my dogs instantly loved her, which immediately put me at ease. Throughout my 5 day trip, Leigh sent me tons of photos and videos, and every single time my dogs looked so happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Even when I came home, their moods were like they had just spent the week with their favorite friend rather than missing me while I was gone! 😂 That alone told me everything I needed to know. I truly can’t recommend Leigh enough. Knowing my dogs were happy and in such good hands allowed me to actually enjoy my trip without worrying about them. I will 100% be using her again in the future!
Jamie and Barry took care of our dog Poppy for 12 days as well as managed our gardens and flower pots. They did an amazing job. We were sent daily updates on Poppy with fantastic photos which allowed us to relax about her care while we enjoyed our vacation. 5 star A+ service from this duo team. I would highly recommend them. Thank you Jamie and Barry!
London was incredible!! She stayed at our house and made the whole experience completely stress-free. My dogs loved her and I loved all the updates and pictures while we were away. It’s such a relief to find someone you can trust in your home. Everything was perfect when we got back😀 The dogs were happy and the house was cleaner than when we left! I’ll definitely be booking her again!
Kylee has done house and dog sitting for us twice now and has been great! She made sure to update us each morning and evening with photos and videos. She followed instructions given and would reach out whenever she had a question. Will definitely continue to use Kylee for future bookings.

The average cost of House Sitting in Lake Dallas is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $36 and $60 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 Lake Dallas 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 Lake Dallas 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 Lake Dallas 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.
