“Brianna was amazing with my two pups. One can be a grumpy old man but he was such a happy pup with her. She kept me updated and sent pics throughout the night. She was so polite and respectful of my home. I would definitely rebook the next time I need help with the boys!!”
“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!”
“LeighAnn is so great!! She helped with a last minute change and worked everything so that it was convenient for me!! I will continue to have her watch my babies as much as possible!”
“Outstanding! Stephanie has been our house/pet sitter twice this year. We can't say enough positives about her abilities to care for our three pets (1 large dog and 2 cats). She's great at communicating, sends pics/updates, and handles any incidental items (mail/trash/packages on the porch). We have a ton of confidence in her. More importantly, our pets are pampered (including multiple walks for the big dog - his favorite activity). Thanks again for everything you do. We already booked Stephanie for two more vacations later this year. We are glad to have found Stephanie through Rover!”
“Samantha and Sydney were absolutely wonderful! They kept in constant communication with us and sent regular updates throughout the day about how our pets were doing, which gave us so much peace of mind. We couldn't be happier with the care they provided, and we would absolutely trust them to look after our furry babies again. Highly recommended!”
“Jacqueline watched our 14 week old lab puppy along with our almost 3yo lab overnight. Everything was great. She provided frequent updates, kept the dogs occupied and put our minds at ease while we were away. We’ll definitely use her again.”
“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.”
About: Hi, my name is Jack! I’m a 20 year old college student with 10 years of pet care experience (9 years free-lance pet care and 1 year at a doggy daycare), including caring for my 13 year old terrier rescue, Trixie, two cats, and a dozen fish. So, as you can tell, I REALLY love animals. Your dog will receive premium care when you use my services. I will provide water on the walks, breaks if your dog needs it, and anything else you desire! For drop-ins, I’ll play your dogs game(s) of choice, rearrange the blankets in their crate (if crates), clean up any accidents (if not crated), and wash out and refill their food and water bowls. Additionally, short-to-medium (depending on length) walks will be provided on request! Please consider me for your pet sitter or dog walker, I promise you & your dog(s) will not be disappointed. I am a 3rd year student currently seeking to do pet sitting and dog walking on the side during the school year. I am available full days on weekends and most of the mornings and evenings each weekday (my classes are all midday). I value sticking to routine as it makes the pet(s) most comfortable. I have a consistent and caring approach to pet care that allows pets to feel as calm as possible while their owners are away.
“Finding Addison was truly a blessing. Our original pet sitting plans fell through at the very last minute, and I was so fortunate to find her when I did. From the moment I met her, I just had a great feeling. She has such a kind, calming personality, and all of my dogs immediately took to her—which never happens! They’re usually very reserved with new people and take time to warm up, but with Addison it was instant. That alone gave me so much confidence. Throughout our trip, Addison kept me updated every single day without me ever having to ask. She sent photos, shared what the dogs and cats were up to, and made me feel like I was right there with them. She followed every instruction perfectly and honestly went above and beyond in so many ways. One of the sweetest surprises was coming home to little things she had done around the house that I never asked her to do. She even emptied the dishwasher and put all the dishes away. When I thanked her, she said her mom always taught her that after a trip, people should come home to a clean house so they can truly relax. That really touched me. Kudos to Addison—and to her mom—for raising such an incredible young woman. The greatest gift she gave me was peace of mind. Knowing my dogs and cats were loved, cared for, and genuinely enjoying their time with her allowed me to fully enjoy my vacation without worrying about them. That’s priceless. I already have another trip planned, and Addison will absolutely be my first choice. I cannot recommend her highly enough. She exceeded every expectation, and I am beyond grateful to have found her.”
About: I've been responsible for an animal since I turned old enough to fill up a bowl of kibble. My mom is a veterinarian and taught me how to make sure critters of all kinds were well cared for. Im currently continuing my education part-time, mornings from 9am to 2pm. Before and after class I try to be as active as possible, and it would be a pleasure to fit your pet's care into that time! I can provide either efficient in/out cleaning and feeding, or spend more quality time with your pet to ensure they're exercised and happy while youre away. For walking service, I'll happily plan a route that fits your pet's stamina and breed, or you can suggest one that you regularly follow!
“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.”
“Shannon did great with my 2 dogs and was extremely accommodating. She sent me plenty of pictures and updates so I never had to wonder how they were doing. I will definitely use her again.”
“Audrey was a fantastic dog sitter while we were away for our summer vacation. Very communicative, compassionate, and respectful of our home. Will definitely use her whenever possible and highly recommend you use her services too.”
“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 💓”
“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!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Little Elm
Torrie did a fantastic job caring for our two dogs. We have one dog with special-needs that actually ended up having some stomach issues and she handled it very well and took great care of him. He also has several different medications he has to take and at certain times and she was great with staying on his medication schedule and really spending a lot of time with both dogs and making sure they were happy and healthy. Our house also was very clean and well cared for while we were gone. This is the first time we’ve been able to go out of town since our dog was diagnosed with epilepsy so we now feel like we can actually take vacations and not worry about our dog when we’re not at home caring for him ourselves. I highly recommend Torrie for caring for your fur babies!
Samantha and Sydney were absolutely wonderful! They kept in constant communication with us and sent regular updates throughout the day about how our pets were doing, which gave us so much peace of mind. We couldn't be happier with the care they provided, and we would absolutely trust them to look after our furry babies again. Highly recommended!
I was originally nervous about leaving my babies for a week, as it was one of the longest times I’ve been away from them. Isabell made sure they had everything they needed, provided updates along the way, and gave them love and attention while I was gone. I came home to a clean house and happy animals, which is always the most important thing! I appreciate her help and the care she provided while I was away!
Loved loved loved Taytum! She’s very sweet and attentive to the dogs. She was extremely communicative, always sending pictures, videos, and other text updates. She was never difficult to reach and was always clear about what she’s doing and how the day went. She even ran back during her lunch breaks to walk the dogs - which is something so appreciated by us! I could tell how much the dogs loved her and loved having her there. We were gone for several days out of country and she made us comfortable from day one. Booking her from start to end was a breeze. We can’t wait to book again as she’s one of the best sitters we’ve had! Definitely don’t think twice about booking 💛
Erin was so great taking care of our cat, dog and home while we were gone on an almost week trip away to another country. I trusted her fully and she was very great at sending updates on how everything was going. Really kept my mind at ease! When we came back, the house was in perfect shape and the animals were happy and stress free. Definitely will use Erin again!
Carmen was fantastic! She stayed at our home and took great care of our dog; she even sent pictures of their walks and responded when we reached out to check on things. She washed all the linens she used and the house was just as we left it. We definitely recommend her and will use her again ourselves!
I have an older dog that I don’t like leaving with anyone other than my parents, so I was a little nervous, but Kelby did great. My dog loved her immediately, she stayed at my house, I got regular updates, and my house was just as clean as when I left it. Would definitely recommend!
Stephanie watched both my dogs over a holiday. She has house/dog sat for me before. One of my dogs has a seizure disorder so I’m picky about who watches them. Both dogs loved Stephanie and I was able to enjoy my time away knowing they were in good hands. I highly recommend her.
Cristel is amazing! She stayed with our pups at our house while we were gone and sent us photos each day. Our dogs were relaxed and happy when we got home so we know they got plenty of exercise and enjoyed spending time with Cristel. We will happily book Cristel again for future trips!

FAQs for House Sitting - Little Elm
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Little Elm on Rover is $29.97 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 4,647 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Little Elm. 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 Little Elm 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 Little Elm 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 Little Elm 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.
