“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter over Christmas break! She was incredibly kind, gentle, and patient, especially with my skittish Lab rescue who can take a while to warm up to new people. She made him feel safe and comfortable, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. On top of that, she went above and beyond caring for our very clingy Chihuahua, giving him all the attention and affection he needed. It was clear our pets were truly loved and well cared for. We came home to happy, relaxed animals, which says everything. Highly recommend and would absolutely book again!”
“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!”
“Paul was just fantastic. Sent updates and took wonderful care of our Dallas. No problems at all. Would highly recommend him to take care of ur fur baby. I will definitely use him again. Our Dallas enjoyed him a lot.”
“Rebekah did a wonderful job keeping my babies and home safe while I was away. She sent photos and little updates which I loved! Definitely will be having Rebekah help out if I need it again!!”
“Ren took great care of our house and Jake, our dog, while away for a long 4 day weekend. She sent updates and pictures, daily. I would highly recommend her and hope to be able to have her help again. Thank you, Ren!”
“Francesca was amazing. Our pups have a little anxiety & we haven’t had much luck in boarding them when traveling. Francesca stayed at our house with the pups and took excellent care of them! She was quick to respond to any message, and it’s clear she took excellent care of them while we were gone 💓”
“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Peach warmed up to Hannah at our meet ‘n greet and she spent the weekend at our house! It was like she was never there in the best way - Everything was just as we left it and Peachy was well taken care of. Plan on rebooking!”
“Karen is a compassionate and intentional sitter. We arranged a meet and greet and we walked her through the house as she took notes and asked questions about everything/anything to care for our pup. She was available on relatively short notice (about a week) and Kona loved her! She gave us informative and sweet updates multiple times a day in the Rover app. She sent pictures of our girl so we knew she was comfortable and having fun. If you're looking for a reliable and responsible sitter to watch your fur babies, look no further. Karen will definitely be utilized for further sits!”
“This was our first time using a non-family member for dog sitting, and we had an amazing experience with Brad. Our dogs took to him instantly, and we appreciated the daily updates seeing how much they were enjoying their time together. We will definitely use Brad again!”
About: I provide attentive, reliable, and compassionate care tailored to each pet’s unique needs. What sets me apart is my commitment to treating every pet like a member of my own family. I take the time to understand their routines, personalities, and preferences to ensure they feel comfortable, safe, and happy while you’re away. I have experience caring for pets of all ages, including energetic puppies who need consistent training and socialization, as well as senior pets who require extra patience, medication management, and gentle care. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, administering medications, daily exercise, and reinforcing basic training commands. My goal is to provide a stress-free experience for both pets and their owners through regular updates, clear communication, and dependable care you can trust. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine alongside my part-time work schedule. I have flexible availability and can provide dependable care during mornings, evenings, weekends, and many weekdays. I make sure to dedicate quality time to each pet for walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, and any special care they may need. Because I work part-time, I can maintain a balanced schedule that allows me to give pets the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. I am committed to being reliable, punctual, and responsive, ensuring your pet’s routine remains consistent and stress-free while you’re away. Safety, comfort, and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I strive to maintain their normal routine to help them feel secure and stress-free. I ensure pets always have access to fresh water, regular meals, exercise, and plenty of attention. I carefully follow all instructions provided by pet owners, including feeding schedules, medication needs, exercise requirements, and any special preferences. During walks and outdoor time, I prioritize safety by keeping pets securely leashed and supervised at all times. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and provide regular updates, photos, and communication for peace of mind. My goal is to create a safe, loving, and reliable environment where pets feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away.
About: I have my own pet and believe every pet is family. With a background in Animal Science, I understand the importance of proper care, health, exercise, and positive guidance. I love helping dogs stay active with daily walks while also teaching good boundaries through patience and positive reinforcement. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I currently have a flexible schedule and am available most days of the week, except Sunday mornings. I’m generally available throughout the day and can adjust my schedule to fit your pet’s needs. If something comes up, I’ll communicate ahead of time, but overall I’m very flexible and happy to work with your schedule. I always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being. In your home, I’ll respect your space and follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routine. I make sure pets are supervised, have a safe environment, and receive the care and attention they need. I also understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, boundaries, and specific needs. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel comfortable and confident while you’re away.

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!
Francesca was amazing. Our pups have a little anxiety & we haven’t had much luck in boarding them when traveling. Francesca stayed at our house with the pups and took excellent care of them! She was quick to respond to any message, and it’s clear she took excellent care of them while we were gone 💓
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 September 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 September 2026, there are 4,795 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.

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.
