“Elizabeth took care of our old pups twice. She is great in following instructions. She is very reliable, responsive and responsible sitter. Our pups are happy around her and we are relaxed when she is around to take care of our pups.”
“We were very happy with Stephanie for staying with our dog Lily. This was the first time having a pet sitter and happy that Stephanie was able to calm our anxiousness of leaving her.”
“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.”
“Dasia was great with my two dogs. She stayed and watched them for a few days while I was away on a trip. She gave frequent updates, and the dogs were happy and healthy. Definitely recommend, and will be booking again for my next trip.”
“Ava was wonderful with our dogs and gave us updates throughout the weekend! She came to meet them beforehand and left the house clean. We will definitely be using her again and we couldn’t recommend her enough!”
“Sasha was wonderful for my babies!! She was so communicative the entire trip and sent pictures. Both of my dogs have their individual medical issues, so it’s hard to find someone I trust to take care of them as well as I do… but Sasha did! Thank you, Sasha!!”
About: I'm a dedicated and experienced pet caregiver passionate about providing your furry, feathered, or scaled family members with the best possible care. With over 20 years of experience, I offer reliable and compassionate services, including daily walks, feeding, playtime, medication administration, and overnight stays. I've cared for energetic puppies and senior dogs requiring special attention to playful cats. My goal is to ensure your pet feels secure, happy, and loved while in my care. Pet care is a core part of my daily and weekly life! I meticulously plan my schedule around client visits, ensuring every pet receives consistent, timely attention. Mornings, mid-days, and evenings are all dedicated to walks, feedings, playtime, and all the care your furry friend needs. My week is organized to provide reliable and loving service, making sure your pet's routine is always my top priority. When I'm caring for your pets in their home, my focus is on maintaining their comfort and routine. This includes: * Following your exact feeding, medication, and exercise instructions. * Providing plenty of playtime, cuddles, and companionship. * Ensuring fresh water is always available and cleaning bowls daily. * Regularly cleaning litter boxes, cages, and immediate pet messes. * Sending you photo updates and a summary after each visit. * Respecting your home's security and cleanliness. Your pet's well-being is my top priority, and I aim to make their time without you as stress-free and enjoyable as possible.
“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”
“Rebekah did an amazing job looking after our two girls. She took excellent care of her home and was very helpful with some last-minute medication needs. She is a great communicator and sent cute photos. I highly recommend.”
“I had a wonderful experience with my dog sitter! She stayed in constant communication with me, providing updates and pictures of my dogs throughout my trip. She followed all of my instructions, including hand-feeding Fat Fat and making sure both dogs got their favorite ice cream treats. I especially appreciated how attentive she was to their individual personalities. My dogs are complete opposites, and she picked up on their funny little quirks perfectly! She also made sure my home was clean and everything was taken care of. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my babies were in good hands. Everything went perfectly, and I would absolutely recommend her!”
“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! ❤️”
About: I’m new to Rover, but I’m so excited to get started and meet lots of new furry friends! I’ve puppy-sat on multiple occasions and have also cared for cats, so I’m happy to help with either—or both if you have a multi-pet household! I’m especially a puppy lover and enjoy all the cuddles, playtime, and goofy personalities that come with them. While I don’t currently have any pets of my own, I have three dogs back home that I absolutely adore and love getting to see, cuddle, and spoil rotten whenever I can. I know how much our pets mean to us, and I want every pet I care for to feel loved, comfortable, and spoiled while their family is away! I work full-time as a teacher, so my weekdays are busy during school hours, but I’m available before and after school and in the evenings. My weekends can sometimes be busy, but for the most part, I have a flexible schedule and can work with your needs. I don’t have any pets of my own right now, which gives me extra flexibility to spend time caring for your fur babies! I’d love to fill that time by giving your pets lots of attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles while you’re away. I truly believe pets are part of the family, so I treat every pet I care for like they are my own! I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, routine, and favorite things so they feel comfortable and loved while their family is away. I’m happy to follow their normal schedule, whether that means walks, playtime, cuddles, meals, potty breaks, or simply keeping them company. I’ll always follow your instructions closely and make sure they have plenty of fresh water, attention, and love. I also know how hard it can be to leave your fur babies with someone else, so I love sending pictures and updates throughout the day. My goal is for your pet to have a fun, safe, and happy time while you have peace of mind knowing they’re being spoiled!
“Maria is an excellent dog sitter. We have had her stay at our house and watch our dog twice within a few weeks. She sends lots of pictures and videos “ keeping our routine” . We highly recommend her.”
“Tiffany was absolutely amazing! From the moment we met her, I knew my pups were going to be in great hands. She treated them like they were her own and gave them so much love, attention, and care while we were away. She kept me updated throughout their stay with regular messages and lots of pictures, which meant the world to this dog mom. It was so reassuring to see how happy and comfortable they were. Tiffany was also incredibly sweet, thoughtful, and courteous, and her communication was excellent from start to finish. I couldn't have asked for a better sitter, and I'll absolutely be booking with her again. If you're looking for someone who will genuinely care for your pets as if they were family, I can't recommend Tiffany enough!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Little Elm
First time using Rover and I was extremely hesitant but Frank made it such a seamless experience. Frank was punctual, responsible and thinks quick on his feet. I’d highly recommend Frank to anyone who needs a trusted sitter that can ensure you have a peace of mind. 5/5 ⭐️!
We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Our home was exactly as we left it, and our dogs were so happy and relaxed when we returned that it was clear they had been in great hands. Tori kept us updated with lots of pictures and was wonderful to communicate with. We’d happily have her back!
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!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Little Elm is $30 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $53 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 4,460 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 , 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.
