“So happy we found Wendy to look after our two babies. She was fantastic with sharing updates after each visit, and loved that she shared photos. Decided to call her the cat whisperer especially with how she bonded and interacted with our little boy.”
“Penny was wonderful!! Can’t wait to have her care for our kitties again. She is very professional, great communication and I so appreciated all the pictures ?. Thank you Penny for taking such great care of Eva and Bahkey.”
“Christiana truly went above and beyond while taking care of my dogs during drop-in visits. She was extremely helpful and attentive, and my dogs loved her. I would highly recommend booking with her!”
“Amy is an exceptional dog sitter and we recommend her without reservation! She provided wonderfully loving and attentive care for our pack: Moose, Jackie, and Lucy. It was clear from her daily updates that she was truly enjoying her time with them. She managed the needs of all three (including their different personalities!) with professionalism and great care. We felt such a huge sense of relief knowing our dogs were safe and happy. If you need a reliable, caring sitter, book Amy immediately!”
About: I work from home full time and have two cats and dog. I grew up in a home with pets and would love the opportunity to meet some new fur babies. I work from home and have a pretty flexible schedule. I have set my parameters for 15 minute distance from me so that I would be able to make those drop in visits with no problem. I don’t plan to house any pets, but if that should occur I do have a fenced yard and am familiar with crating. I would also only ever be able to take on one at a time because we do have three pets full time.
About: Hi there! I have lots of experience caring for pets ranging from my own pets to shadowing at veterinary clinics in the DFW area. I am happy to help with walks and check-ins, and I am comfortable working with any breed or species. I have cared for a wide variety of dogs, elderly and young, and can accommodate special needs. For walks I work with owners to establish the safest route according to their pups needs in! For check-ins I can do feedings, administer meds, and play with your pup to make sure they’re happy while you’re away. I currently work full time Monday through Thursday. I can fit in walks and check-ins before and after work on those days, but Friday-Sunday I generally have an open availability for any help you might need. Each animal is different and requires their own unique approach. I try to respect this when establishing a relationship with both owner and pet. For walks and check-ins, I will work with you to make sure I can properly care for your animal! If you are considering boarding please be aware I have 2 dogs and 2 cats of my own and we will need to heavily discuss if everyone can blend together safely!
About: I have had dogs my whole life. I have also sat pets for many years for my friends and neighbors. I have worked as a dog bather so I have experience handling dogs of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments. I am also willing to bathe, brush, shave paw pads/mats and do nails for your dog, the rate is under drop in visits but that is for everything I just listed if you just need one service we can talk about that 😁 (rate will also change depending on the size of the dog). I volunteer at animal rescues so I am very familiar with rescue animals and accommodations they may need. I love any and all animals. I recently started working with cats at my rescue and am willing to learn more about them. I am recently home from college for the summer. I am available all day everyday for drop-ins, house sitting, walks, and basic grooming services. When caring for pets in a clients home, I follow their normal routine as consistently as possible. I make sure they have water, food on time, bathroom breaks, playtime/exercise, and lots of love. For walks I pay attention to how the dog behaves and set my pace, energy, and length of walk to best fit them. For drop-ins and house sitting I make sure the pet gets playtime, basic care, and companionship based on their routine. I have experience with everyday pet care and have also bathed dogs I have cared for when needed. I aim to make pets feel safe, relaxed, and loved while their owner is away.
“Samantha did such a great job visiting my cats who are very demanding. She really does a thorough and reliable job and is very kind. She communicates in a timely fashion which is great”
“Ryann did a fantastic job following instructions and even going above and beyond. She managed to keep our Houdini cat in and the pictures she sent showed happy cats. I will definitely book her again.”
“Sophia was a great sitter, followed guidance and always sent the cutest pictures of our furbabies! She was reliable and gave our two cats and 70 pound dog lots of attention and treats while we were gone.”
“John and Becky were wonderful and who I will ask for every time. They came over and met our two dogs and we knew right away they were dog people! They visited and loved on our dogs while we were gone and sent pictures. We felt completely comfortable leaving our babies in their hands and I highly recommend them!”
About: I'm a huge animal lover, and have had everything from cats and dogs to ferrets and fish! I've always watched over other people's animals for as long as I can remember and love every moment of it! From cuddling with a lazy fur baby to going on long runs to let out some energy, I've always been able to match any pets energy! I am a full time college student currently studying at NCTC! I'm usually free for the most part if not in class or the weekends where I get most of my studying and homework out of the way! I'm always willing to abide by any house rules you may have or areas that are off limits or need extra eyes on. I'm more than happy to crate dogs and make sure cats try not to scratch up furniture!
About: I have taken care of pets since I was a very young girl. I now have my own family and I still love animals of all kinds and have a special love for dogs. I have had dogs from puppies up until their senior years and have had experience caring for the needs of all ages. We love to travel also and understand wanting to know your fur babies are well taken care of and loved while you are away! I am a Stay-At-Home-Mom and my husband works from home so your pets will often have someone with them to keep them company and love on them. We have a fenced in backyard with grass, trees, and access from their own dog door! Plenty of room to run, play, or enjoy the sunshine in. We have space indoors for a crate and prefer to crate your dog(s) at bedtime.
About: I am very familiar with small to mid-size dogs. I have cared for a Beagle Pit and a Catahoula Leopard dog for nearly 12 years with my family. I am famillar with dog walking and feeding these dogs. I also helped care for my aunt's smaller dogs on my visits years ago, a Shih Tzu, Yorkshire tTrrier, and two other small dogs (all rescues). I am currently only involved in my studies so my schedule is more flexible. Starting mid-August I will have one 3-hour block Monday through Thursday that I will need to be in classes. Beyond this I am flexible! I can only care for pets in you/the client's home as my Catahoula Leopard (as the breed suggests) is extremely territorial. I can do drop-ins or walks for your doggy throughout the day.
“First time using a sitter for our baby astro and Caitlin was fantastic! She provided top-notch care, ensuring our furry baby felt loved and comfortable. Excellent communication, punctuality, and a genuine passion for animals made the experience worry-free. Highly recommend!”
About: I have been an animal lover my whole life! I have experience caring for dogs and cats both as pets and working animals. I have a bachelor's degree in behavior analysis and am pursuing my master's degree in behavior analysis. I focus on force and fear-free techniques when interacting with your pet. I implement positive reinforcement to create fun and lasting good experiences! I am home all day, so I have the flexibility to care for your fur babies whenever they need. I know that each pet is an individual and has their own schedule, and I am willing to work on their time I have a fenced-in backyard as well as two dog parks in my neighborhood. I believe that the animal is always right and look to accommodate the pet and their ever changing needs. I approach care without the use of aversives and punishment. I hope each animal leaves our interaction feeling relaxed, safe, and loved!
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Northlake is $20
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Northlake
I had a wonderful experience with Wendy and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable and caring pet care. From the very beginning, she was professional, communicative, and attentive to my cat’s needs. While I was away, Wendy provided regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave me great peace of mind. My cat was happy, well cared for, and clearly received plenty of attention and affection. She also followed all instructions carefully and went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of. It's clear that she genuinely loves animals and treat them like her own. I returned home to a happy, relaxed pet and on top of it everything was clean and tidy. I couldn't be more grateful. I will definitely be using her services again in the future!
We had such a wonderful experience! Dillon took care of our dogs for 5 days, and we couldn’t have asked for better care. From the start, communication was great and he kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our dogs looked so happy and comfortable when we got back. He followed all of our instructions and went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly. We would absolutely book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Northlake
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 6,272 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Northlake. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Northlake stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Northlake. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
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.
