“We LOVE Alexis! We’ve used her services many times and recommend her to all of our friends. Our dogs and cat are so well take of. We always get lots of updates and pictures and our babies are so excited to see her every time. 11/10 recommend”
“Kari took great care of my two pups while staying at my house, giving me peace of mind while away. She sent daily photo updates and made sure they got plenty of playtime out in the yard. Kari was reliable, respectful, and attentive. My dogs absolutely loved her, and she handled everything seamlessly. I will definitely be hiring her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!”
“Sarah was awesome! She was very communicative, and our dogs loved her. She left the house nicer than we did, so that is always a pleasant surprise again. I highly recommend her.”
“Callie is the BEST pup sitter! She listened to us describe Milo's personality and our expectations. She followed our requests to the letter. She sent a precious picture of Milo sound asleep on her lap. He was such a happy puppy when we arrived home, but wasn't whining or crying. He had clearly been well cared for!! We will definitely call on Callie again, and again!! We highly recommend her!!”
“Hannah is amazing!! She was able to come by on short notice and help me out. Highly recommend her! She gave great updates via photos and videos. She also kept in communication with me about anything I needed.”
“Hannah was great at communicating with us, both before and during the dog sitting. The dogs were well taken care of, and we found Hannah to be very dependable. We would definitely use her again.”
“Madeline was great with our dog. She did an overnight stay and sent us pictures throughout the stay. We felt very comfortable knowing our dog was being well taken care of while we were gone. We will definitely be using her in the future! Thank you!!”
“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!”
“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++++”
“Carrie was so thoughtful and caring with our dogs! She understood their personalities and was patient, kind, and loving with them. I couldn't have asked for a better sitter to leave our babies with. We'll definitely be looking for Carrie for our future sitting needs.”
“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 absolutely love animals, I have grown up with them throughout my entire life, Dog's are especially special to me, I have had one by my side since I was old enough to know what a dog was. I would be a great pet sitter because I love meeting all critters and creatures and I would take care of your animal like my own . I have 2 fur-children of my own, Major Tom (Maine Coon) & Penny (Dachshund). They are my world! I do have experience as a veterinary receptionist/vet tech and worked at Southridge animal Hospital for four years. I am well-versed in how to do diabetic injections, giving animals their medication’s on schedule, making sure they have a healthy diet and exercise. I have a deep knowledge of animal behavior. I want to keep all animals, healthy, and safe and loved! Looking forward to taking care of some furry little angels! I have no problem spending extra time, snuggling and playing and just being there for comfort . Animals get lonely and honestly getting the chance to hang out and love on them and spend some extra time does not bother me at all! I would pet it for a lot of the clients that came to the animal hospital. I worked at and I do still see a couple from time to time when they need it and having a medical background with animals is very useful at times and an understanding of animal medicine. Hope to get to meet your loved ones! I am currently working part-time so I will have plenty of time to take care of your fur babies needs! I am very flexible and I was born and raised in Denton Texas so I know the area very well. I know where all the dog parks are. I can walk with them give them baths, even nail trims from when I learned at the animal hospital. I have a fenced in backyard if your pets ever needed to come to my house, I also have crates and my siblings have extra pins for their kids that work well for puppies that I could always bring over if need be and baby gates. I do also have extra leashes.
“Kendall was awesome!! She took such great care of our home and our dog while we were out of town. She sent photos and really made us feel at ease. I would definitely book with her again!!”
“Honor took excellent care of my babies! She sent regular updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. I will definitely be using her again!”
About: I’m experienced with high-energy & large dog breeds! I focus on structured, alert walks and attentive supervision. Above all else, I prioritize your dogs routine & safety first. I’m currently working part time, so my schedule is pretty flexible! I tend to be more available in the mornings & afternoons, but am happy to do evening work should the need arise! My schedule tends to vary week to week, but my evenings get busy from Thursday to Saturday. Otherwise, I’m happy to help! Safety, structure, and home security are my highest priorities. For house sittings and drop-ins, I strictly follow the owner's established rules, keep entryways locked, and double-check gates/doors before and after any outing. For walks, I practice active leash management and remain hyper-aware of my surroundings—maintaining safe distances from triggers, bikes, and other dogs. I ensure fresh water is always available, and send detailed updates after every visit so you know your pet and home are completely secure.
“Elizabeth was fantastic! We have senior dogs and sometimes they need a little extra help. She communicated everything through the duration of our booking and sent pictures of all our pets. She truly cares for your pets so I would definitely recommend her services.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Northlake is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Northlake
Christiana was great! This was our first time booking her through Rover and we are really glad we did! We did a meet & greet prior to booking her and we immediately got a good vibe from her. While she was staying with our two dogs, Chewie & Momo, we received lots of updates and pictures each day. We also ended up needing to extend our trip and she was so flexible! She also left a very sweet card and picked up the place before she left. We'll definitely be rebooking! Thanks again, Christiana.
Wow...where do I even begin?! Kaylen is fantastic!!! She took such great care of our dogs, really and truly cared, loved, and paid attention to our babies! Our dogs can be very quirky with new people, one has some medical issues and she can be slow to trust people, but Kaylen's confidence and understanding of dog behavior truly made our Bo feel at ease! I have never had anyone but family watch our dogs prior and was panicking when we found out we could not bring our dogs on our family trip, but I am so grateful it led me to Kaylen! I actually got to enjoy my time away, (as much as you can when missing your pups), because I trust Kaylen so much, our dogs were in the best hands. We got amazing updates, our house was left in immaculate condition, our dogs were so happy and all updates showed how loved they were, it was just such a fantastic experience! Kaylen is really there for the dogs, she never judged, she was so helpful in guiding us through the meet and greets, it was such a phenomenal time, I really can not put into words how amazing she is and how much I fully trust her with my Mozzy and Bo. I promise you that she is the best sitter on here! You and your fur babies will regret not booking with her!!
Miranda was absolutely amazing! She took wonderful care of our 3 rambunctious boys & sent lots of photos so we could see how they were doing. She had great communication and kept us updated about our dogs every day. I would recommend her to anyone who needs pet/house sitting!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 3,526 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Northlake. 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 Northlake 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 Northlake 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Northlake 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.
