“Kathleen is very kind and kept me updated while I was gone. When I got back Junebug looked like she had an amazing stay-cation with Kathleen. My house was in better condition than I left it as well. A++++”
“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!!!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Brad was amazing with my pup and took great care Of my beta fish as well. He gave daily pupdates and provided lots of photos so I could relax and know Alamo was in good hands”
“Thankful for a last minute booking- Ren kept me updated on my two and I was at ease knowing they were home. I’m a bit of an overprotective dog mom but the photo updates really helped!”
“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.”
“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.”
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
“Elizabeth really went above and beyond! She sent frequent updates for peace of mind, gave them plenty of snuggles & spent quality time with our pets. She left my home better than I left it! Highly highly recommend Elizabeth!!”
“Thank you so very much Casandra for taking amazing care of our fur baby while we were on vacation and even staying over longer when we ran into some travel delays. You were amazing as always!”
About: I’ma a huge animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. Since I was young, friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to help care for their pets. I’m patient, dependable, and love spending time making sure pets are happy, active, and well cared for while their owners are away. I grew up around pets and currently help care for a Great Pyrenese and three cats so I’m very comfortable with animals of all sizes and personalities. I just moved back to Dallas after graduating from Texas Tech, so I have plenty of time to take care of pets while I am searching for a job! I’m comfortable caring for large breeds, multiple pets at once, and keeping up with feeding, walking, and cleaning routines. I have experience caring for dogs and cats, and I always make sure pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away.
“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!!”
“Madison was great! She took such good care of my elderly German Shepard, Claire. Claire has a pretty complicated routine, and usually struggles when I travel But this time I am not sure that Claire missed me at all. I will certainly rebook with her next time I travel.”
“Hannah was great with our two dogs, Harley and Prince! She was there when she said she’d be, did everything we asked, and even went above and beyond to trim one of our dog’s nails without her asking… thank you Hannah!”
About: I'm a big animal person. Me and my family have owned pets our whole lives and have had a giant variety of species. I used to dog and cat sit in Washington and was wanting to get started out here in Texas! I live in a house with a lot of different animals, i have experience with exotic animals along with dogs and cats. I tend to take dogs on walks every 3 or 4 hours if possible and I love to keep a schedule for feedings and bedtime! I am the kind that will send you 50 pictures if you need of your animal. I know how it feels to leave them for various amounts of time. I treat every animal as if they were my own and I believe that all animals are part of the family just as much as another human!
About: Growing up with two dogs, westie and lab was where I grew to love animals. I’ve helped dog sit friends and take care of my own. I’m flexible at the moment and willing to help at any times of the day! Either on the weekends or week day. Prefer to walk dogs rather than house sit. Prefer to have animals for dog walking and have done before along with having to take care of my own! I love all animals and having dogs growing up showed me all what it takes to be a dog owner and look after them.
“She is a great pet sitter. We have older pets who have medications and are on specific schedules. Anna asked great questions during our meet and greet and made me have confidence in booking her. Our pets seemed to enjoy her presence and looked liked they warmed up to her quickly. We look forward to working with her in the future!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lake Dallas
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 💓
Elizabeth went above and beyond while watching our two Goldens from 6 days! Sophie had a “hot spot” on her cheek that wouldn’t heal. Twice a day, Elizabeth cleaned Sophie’s face with Hibiclens. She gave oral antibiotics. Half way through the week, the Vet added an topical antibiotic. She went to our vet and picked up new medication. Then on her last night, Sophie decided to vomit several times! She had difficulty contacting me, but she persisted! With her and our vet’s help, Sophie stopped vomiting. All this at 11:30 on a Saturday night. All the while, she loved and gave attention to our other Golden, Bailey! She was calm and loving to our pets the entire time. When we returned home our house was the same as we left it! Highly recommend, Elizabeth!!!
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 August 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 August 2026, there are 4,866 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.
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.
