“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!”
“Amazing sitter, very kind, nice, respectful and truly cared for our home and animals. Looking forward to working with you again, I’d book again in a heartbeat!!!”
“Francesca did great. Our dog was happy and healthy when we returned. She communicated promptly with us when we checked in and we wouldn’t hesitate to reach out to her again when needed.”
“Leigh did a great job with our dogs for the week! She sent tons of updates and I loved getting the pictures/videos of them playing in the yard. We will definitely be booking Leigh in the future!”
“Ren was an amazing cat sitter for my older cat, who requires daily medications. She was extremely communicative, which made me feel especially comfortable with being away from home. I would recommend her to anyone looking for high quality care.”
“Emily (Paige) was soooo great with our dogs Harley and Prince! I’m usually one of those super paranoid dog moms, and I did not feel uneasy or worried one single time. She was super communicative and sent tons of pictures & updates of our babies! I also let her know not to worry about cleaning any bed sheets or towels, and when I got home, everything was cleaned and folded neatly on the bed. She also left a new bag of treats on the counter with a little note :) We will for sure be using her again in the future! Thanks for taking such great care of our babies, Paige!!”
“As usual Brad did a fantastic job. My dog has separation anxiety and needs to be watched in my home. He is consistent with updates and I get photos and videos while I’m away. I can’t put into words how appreciative I am for Brad and his help with my boy Alamo. I’ll definitely use him again and would definitely recommend him to others!”
“Kaitlyn was amazing! I’m so thankful we found her. Oliver found his new best friend that gave him lots of love & hugs, played with him, and took such good care of him. She kept me constantly updated that made me felt at ease while I was away from my baby.”
“Stacey was amazing! My two dogs seemed to have a great time and were happy when I got back home. She followed all of my instructions and I really hope to have her back to watch my home and pups soon! ❤️”
“Maggie was attentive and sweet. She really cared about our dogs and was very respectful and tidy about the house. She followed our feeding and medication instructions and sent us updates throughout the day.”
About: I love animals and love taking care of them! I grew up with dogs and helping take care of them and started pet sitting for friends and family in college and still love to do it! I got my own sweet pup 3 years ago and but still enjoy watching other people’s pets as well! I’m great with dogs of all size and cats. Is your pup high energy? No problem! I love playing with dogs or taking them on walks if they need to get their energy out. Currently I live with another couple so I can’t bring pets to my home, but I am happy to watch them at your house or do drop by visits if you prefer! Either way, I can’t wait to meet your sweet dog or cat and make them feel loved and cared for in your absence!
“Anna is a great pet sitter. She's very responsive and attentive, does timely walks and meals, and is great at following instructions for specific pet care. I will definitely hire her again!”
“Madison was fantastic! We have two older pups and one of them is wary of new people. However, our pup warmed up to her very quickly! Both dogs loved her and I’m sure Madison got a ton of snuggles and licks, haha. Madison also left our house in great order, bringing in the mail and making sure everything was tidy. She also helped out by filling our pool, which was very kind! We will DEFINITELY hire her again. Very pleased!”
About: Hi! We’re a pet-loving couple who believes every dog and cat deserves a safe, happy, and fulfilling life. With years of hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, we’re confident, compassionate, and genuinely love what we do. One of us works from home full-time and the other is stay-at-home so your pet will always have company! Our fully fenced yard is perfect for safe outdoor fun, whether that’s soaking up the sun, wrestling with other pups, or chasing after a ball. We’re flexible, attentive, and happy to match your pet’s unique energy and routine. Caring for animals isn’t just something we do, it’s truly our passion. We’ve raised puppies, cared for senior pets, and share our home with two playful cats, a sweet Aussie, and a lovable Corgi, so we know every animal has their own personality. Your pet will be treated like family, because that’s exactly what they are to us. 🏡 Drop-In Visits With both of us available, one of us can focus fully on your pet while the other helps out with light household tasks if needed. We’re happy to bring in packages, take the trash out or in, water plants, or tidy up as requested. Your pet gets quality attention and you get peace of mind knowing everything at home is taken care of! 🐕 Dog Walking Whether your pup needs a run or a longer walk to burn off energy, we’ve got it covered. We walk at your dog’s pace and let them sniff. Walks are a mix of exercise and mental enrichment, because we know a good walk is about more than just steps. As fully remote workers, we’re able to care for your pet no matter what schedule they have or the times you need us to drop in. We provide constant updates so that you feel comfortable while you’re away from your pet. Pets under our care are never left alone, and we make sure all interactions are positive and that everyone is having a good time. We treat each pet with the same love, patience, and care we give our own.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lake Dallas
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!
Jessica was very good with our dogs - walking them a couple times a day. We have frenchies and they are pretty needy - she stayed at our house and was attentive to them. It’s nice when the dogs were happy upon my arrival home - makes leaving them easier. Jessica is very personable - we will use her again!
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.

FAQs for House Sitting - Lake Dallas
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Lake Dallas on Rover is $55.5 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 4,935 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lake Dallas. 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 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lake Dallas. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
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.
