“Eboni handled my pets very well! I have a mini pig who is constantly testing and needs lots of attention and firm instruction and Eboni handled it very well and I came home to a very happy pig. She also cared for my chickens well. Eboni is a quick learner and respects the rules you have for your pets and your home and gives them lots of love and attention. She is also someone I was very comfortable leaving alone in my home and left things neat and clean after a few days pet sitting. I highly recommend her.”

About: Hi, I'm Marquette! I work from home and welcome one household at a time, with up to two pets from the same family. I don't have pets of my own, so your dog can settle in without sharing their stay with unfamiliar animals. I grew up with dogs, previously had one of my own, and started boarding clients in early 2026. I like learning the little things: where your dog likes to sleep, how they ask to go out, and what helps them feel at home. If they're shy, I'll give them time to warm up. I'll follow their usual routine, including meals and any medication given as instructed. My clients often mention the detailed photos and updates I send. Before your booking, we'll agree on how often you'd like to hear from me and your preferred way to stay in touch. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so meals, potty breaks, walks, and company fit into my day. I also provide walks and drop-in visits, so we'll discuss your pet's routine and any time I'll be away before booking. For boarding, I can usually offer potty breaks every 2-4 hours. For house sitting, we'll agree on overnight care, daytime visits, and how long your pets are comfortable being alone so you know what to expect. I live in an apartment close to Dallas Love Field, with a park right across the street for walks and sniff breaks. There's one enclosed, fenced patio area with no exterior exit. Patio time is supervised, and walks are suited to your dog's needs. Dogs are welcome on the furniture and bed. I host one household at a time and have no resident pets or children. I'll follow your feeding, medication, and care instructions, and we'll talk through any escape habits, separation anxiety, or handling concerns before the stay. I carry pet-care insurance through Pet Sitters Associates for boarding, house sitting, walks, and drop-ins.

“We have used Christina multiple times to watch our dog. Each time she has been hyper communicative, reliably taking our dog out on the schedule we discussed and has built trust with both us and our dog. Takes great care of older dogs and helps us stay at ease while travelling. We will use her again!”

I can’t tell you how valuable the peace of mind knowing your fur babies are in good hands. Seriously, she is amazing!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

About: I’ve taken care of two senior cats for two years now. I have also taken care of my friends and family pets while they were out and about. I can provide the basic needs for your pets and lots of love! I work 4 days out of the week, so I will have plenty of time to attend to your pets needs and wants in any situation. When I did care for my two senior cats I would make sure their basic needs are met of course, but because they were so much older I was more attentive to them since they were more fragile and would immediately handle any limp I saw or cough or sneeze. I will treat your pets as if they are my own.

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 5 years, from my own two cats(Rosie and Ferguson) to friends’ and family’s pets whenever they travel. I’ve sat for and walked senior dogs, so I’m patient with slower paces, stiff joints and pets who need a little extra care! I’m also comfortable with high-energy newborn animals who need a little more attention too! I currently have a fairly flexible schedule. I’m available to maneuver around dates and any last minute things that may pop up for you. I care for pets in their own home, where they feel safest. I know your home is your haven, so I respect your space completely. I follow your routine, leave everything as I found it and lock up every time.

About: I have 8 years of experience caring for pets and understand how important it is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. As a dog owner myself, I know that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’m happy to provide attentive care, feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and plenty of affection. I strive to follow each pet’s routine and each owner’s instructions to help make time apart as stress-free as possible. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness will always be a priority! I do my best to maintain a flexible schedule and accommodate each pet’s needs. I understand that pets thrive on consistency, so I’ll do my best to follow their usual feeding, walking, playtime, and rest routines. I’m happy to communicate with pet parents to coordinate care and make sure their pets receive plenty of attention, love, and companionship while they’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities.

About: I’m 30 and have had dogs my entire life. I have two of our own — a 36-lb mini Sheepadoodle and a 13-lb Yorkie mix — so used to different sizes and energy levels. I regularly dog sit for friends, and often have their dogs stay with us while they’re on vacation. I am very comfortable having extra dogs in the house and keeping things structured and calm. I live in a home with two separate fenced yards, so there’s plenty of safe space to play or relax. My job permits me to work from home often, which means the dogs aren’t be left alone for long stretches. I also volunteer with the SPCA 3–4 times a month (10+ hours), working hands-on with dogs of all breeds and temperaments. I’m a full-time realtor, so my schedule is flexible and I work from home often. That allows me to be around consistently and adjust my day as needed for walks, playtime, and supervision. I am active with our own dogs — take them to the park as often as possible and walk them 2–4 times per week. Staying engaged with them is already part of my routine, so adding another dog fits naturally into the day. I home with two separate fenced-in yards, which gives dogs secure outdoor space to play and relax safely. My two dogs are well-socialized and regularly exposed to family members' dogs as well as new dogs at the dog park. Because I often dog sit for friends and I volunteer regularly with the SPCA, I am very comfortable managing different personalities, energy levels, and introductions in a calm, structured way.

About: I got a dog just recently and I love her as if she's my own daughter. I am a better person because of her, and I am so glad that I rescued her and gave her a home with so much love and attention. I do a lot of work at home stuff on my PC as well as a lot of Doordash, Instacart, etc. when I am not busy at home. I am very flexible and care about giving humans and animals a sense of safety when dealing with me. I tell them and show them what I do as well as have an open conversation about everything upfront. I honestly like getting to know people first before doing business.

Everyone got plenty of walks, cuddles, and attention, and I never once felt worried while I was away! She offered to come meet everyone before the booking, took her own notes and paid attention to little details! She even washed the sheets and folded laundry before leaving. You can tell she puts love and care into both your pets and home! Such a thoughtful, beautiful person—I would absolutely have her back! 🩵”

FAQs for House Sitting - Mesquite

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Mesquite is $29 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $56 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 November 2026, there are 3,844 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Mesquite. 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 Mesquite 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 Mesquite 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 Mesquite 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 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 Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Mesquite. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% 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.
