âOur 4, high-maintenance kitties were very well cared for while we were away. Yung was very thorough with her updates at each visit and was delightful to work with. She even cleaned up after our messy little kitties. Definitely recommend and would gladly hire again!â

About: Hi! I am your fur baby's new best friend! I've owned dogs for over 20 years. Volunteered at shelters, taken in strays and found them homes, and adopted as well. I have sat for countless friends and family over the years and now I'd like to become an entrepreneur of sorts, doing what brings me joy! PLEASE NOTE: Owner is responsible for communicating any parking restrictions or limitations. Agreeing to book with me means that tickets or towing incurred during booking timeframe will be at owners expense!!! Open schedule currently. I am able to accommodate and work around sudden schedule changes. Looking to sit at least 3 times a week. Book me please! I respect others pets and property and treat it as my own. Reputation and trust are important and if a family is so kind to consider me to take care of their furbaby, I would do nothing to jeopardize that trust.
âVicki gave extra special attention to Cinder Lou even though he would not come out of his hidey hole in the closet. She spoke to him and called him by name as well as giving his treats and bringing a toy for him. I know it made a difference that he knew someone was there talking to him and keeping his food and water fresh and his box clean. Vicki is loving, caring and intuitive lady who gives attention to every detail and I'm so lucky I found her!â

âWe had a wonderful experience with Natalie and couldnât recommend her more! She took great care of our dog, Hazel, during a drop-in visit and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Natalie was incredibly communicative, dependable, and attentive, keeping us updated throughout the visit. She was also wonderful with our cat, even though caring for her wasnât part of the scheduled visit! Itâs clear she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. Weâre so glad we found someone we can trust with our pets and would absolutely book with Natalie again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter!â
About: I grew up with 2 labs and a miniature dachshund, so I am I lover of all dogs big and small. Iâve been off Rover for a few years due to living in a strict pet free home. But great news, I am now a homeowner ready to love on some dogs before finding my forever bestie. Let me take care of your dog as if they were my own! I am a schedule coordinator at my current job so I have flexible hours. I typically work 9-3:30 and have open availability on weekends. I live in a safe, condo community with multiple parks nearby to take dogs on walks. Dogs are welcome to roam around my apartment while Iâm gone if theyâre potty trained and do not damage furniture. There are no other pets at home.

âEmily has been great. We had a 11 day trip to France but unfortunately I picked up an infection and had to stay another 2 weeks. Emily was able to extend and kept our 2 adopted feral cats well fed.â

âWe booked this drop in for a meet and greet, and upon arrival Levi immediately got down on our dogs level. It was clear from the start that Levi as experienced with dogs, and was willing to take the time to build the necessary trust with our special needs dog which is essential for someone to be able to perform the required care (lifting/moving) for him. In addition, Levi is just full of friendly energy both human and animals can't help but respond to.â
âI met Alicia at a neighborhood garage sale a few months ago where I was thrilled to learn that she is an experienced pet sitter in our neighborhood. My neighbor was planning to cat & housesit for my family last week but had to cancel two days before our trip due to a family emergency. I had never used Rover before but felt at ease as soon as I (promptly) received a response from Alicia to confirm booking. She came in for a visit the next day to meet our 3 cats and receive instructions/key. Alicia was very thorough asking questions getting to know our cats and home, which was very appreciated. We booked 60-min drop-in visits for 7 days, receiving daily pics and videos of our pets getting some lovinâ in as well as a detailed summary of her visit . Upon one visit, Alicia discovered a hall-closet door open and sent me a text. She had photographed exterior doors (showing still locked) & main areas of our house (looking undisturbed) to help us ultimately determine it likely had not been fully shut when we left, allowing the cats to paw it open. It was great to have peace of mind knowing that our home and pets were in good hands. Weâll definitely book Alicia again!â

About: Iâve had a pet dog since I was born. I currently take care of one beagle mix and one red heeler mix. We frequently walk and spend time at the dog park. I love taking care of dogs and cats and getting to know their personalities. I have availability in the morning and afternoons. I am currently doing gig work so I have a flexible schedule. Currently I am not available during the evening. I am responsible and attentive to your dogs needs! I will pick up poop and pay attention to your dog if they are getting too tired. I also track my walks on strava if you would like to see what route we take!
About: Iâve been caring for my own dog for over seven years. She is a Whippet/Mountain Cur mix, and I adopted her when she was just four months old. Raising her from a puppy has given me hands-on experience with every stage of a dogâs lifeâfrom puppy training and daily exercise to maintaining routines, recognizing changes in behavior, and providing consistent care. Caring for my own dog has taught me the importance of patience, reliability, and understanding that every dog has a unique personality and needs. Iâm comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, basic grooming, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else because Iâm a pet owner too. Thatâs why I treat every pet as if they were my ownâwith kindness, attention, and genuine care. Pet care is a natural part of my day-to-day life. As a dog parent myself to Pepper (a Mountain Cur/Whippet mix), caring for animals is already built into my routine. I start my day with morning walks, feeding, and active play, and I make time throughout the day for check-ins, walks, or sitting visits as needed. My flexible schedule allows me to prioritize each petâs unique needs, whether itâs structured exercise, relaxed companionship, or consistent routines. I genuinely enjoy including dogs in my dayâthey bring joy, purpose, and great energy to everything I do! When caring for pets in my home, I make sure they feel safe, welcomed, and part of the family. I provide a clean, pet-friendly environment with space to relax, play, and nap. I follow the petâs usual routines for feeding, potty breaks, walks, and bedtimeâjust like you would at home. Dogs are never left alone for long, and I always supervise interactions to ensure everyone stays calm and happy. My dog Pepper is friendly and well-behaved, and I always do proper introductions to make sure all dogs get along comfortably. When pet sitting in your home, I treat your space with the utmost respect and keep everything clean and tidy. I stick closely to your dogâs usual schedule, keeping mealtimes, walks, playtime, and downtime consistent with what theyâre used to. Iâll make sure your pet gets lots of attention, exercise, and care, while keeping you updated with regular check-ins and photos. I understand how important trust is when Iâm in someone elseâs home, and I always aim to provide peace of mind while youâre away.
About: I am a 19-year-old dog and cat lover with 8 years of experience caring for dogs. I have experience with potty training puppies, dog walking, and daily grooming such as brushing fur. I am patient, reliable, and passionate about providing loving care for every pet. I can also administer medication if needed. While Iâm currently saving toward purchasing a car, I have reliable transportation options available and am more than happy to arrange a ride to and from your home when needed. Transportation wonât stop me from being there for you and your pet, and Iâm always willing to make the extra effort to provide dependable and loving care. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, comfortable, and well cared for while youâre away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I currently have a flexible schedule while attending school. Iâm available most weekdays for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. On weekends, I have the most time and flexibility, so Iâm especially available for overnight pet sitting and can dedicate more time to providing attentive care. Although Iâm currently saving toward purchasing a car, I have reliable temporary transportation options and can arrange transportation to and from an ownerâs home when needed. Iâm committed to being dependable, flexible, and attentive to each petâs needs while making things as convenient as possible for their owner. I do not offer pet care in my own home, but when caring for pets in a clientâs home, I prioritize safety, comfort, and routine. I always make sure pets are in a secure environment and closely supervise them during walks and activities. I believe itâs better to be safe than sorry, and I will treat your dog with the same love, care, and attention that I would give my own pet.
About: Iâve been around dogs and cats my whole life, first as a dog owner for 8 years and now cats. I have some experience in fostering. Iâm also taking care of several stray cats outside my yard, making sure theyâre fed and hydrated daily. Those who know me knows how much love I have for animals- so much so that I often find myself putting their needs before my own. Whether itâs providing comfort, playtime, or presence, I always go above and beyond to make sure they feel safe and loved. Iâm available Monday-Friday from 5 PM to 10 PM, as well as all day on Saturdays. Whether your pet needs a drop-in visit, feeding, a potty break, a walk, or simply some extra love and attention while you're away, I'd be happy to help! Drop-in visits: Feeding, refreshing water, potty breaks, and playtime. Dog walking: Walks after work during weekdays and full days on Saturdays. I live in a house with a fenced yard, providing plenty of safe space for my pets to run and play. Since Iâm usually the only person home during the day, the environment is quiet and calm. I also set clear boundaries to help them feel secure and understand their space.

âPaige was a fantastic sitter! She gave detailed updates and tons (I mean tons) of photos of our babies while we were gone. She seriously went above and beyond with her updates and made me feel at complete ease the entirety of my trip away. Iâll absolutely be booking with Paige again <3â

About: Let me love on your fur baby while you're away ! I have taken care of my own cats and dogs, neighbors , families, and friends pets for over 20 years. My professional experience began 10 years ago when I became a professional Nanny for families with pets and babies! I have experience in dog walking and sitting with dogs of all sizes and a wonderful variety of cats too. I run my own business and can do most of the work from my phone, so I have flexible availability to cater to high maintenance pets, as well as popping in for short last minute visits. While taking care of your fur baby I will follow whatever best practices I am guided to do, I have no problem taking directions and if needed making common sense decisions if the owner is unavailable to guide me in the direction. My favorite thing to do is cuddle with the fur babies as long as they allow it! I am also a BIG nature lover so being outside is never an issue. ** I am also vaccinated and will wear a mask in your home and around your pets at your request.
âJulia is a caring, conscientious sitter. My coco was totally at ease with her and almost sad to see me come home! Thatâs the key to a great sitter. She will be our go to from now on! Highly recommend!â

Savannah was awesome! She was very flexible and accommodating to our very late last minute appointment request. We got frequent pictures, and she even stayed longer to take the dogs on a walk and brushed them! Highly recommend and will definitely be rebooking again!

Kristen did a wonderful job caring for my chihuahua, bulldog, and kitty while I was gone. She kept in close communication with me and sent me photos during each visit. She even washed their dirty dishes and took out the trash because it was full! My pets received lots of loving care and attention during my absence. I highly recommend Kristen and plan to have her care for my pets again!

Madeline was awesome! This was our second time booking with Madeline and she was great again! She is communicative, followed my directions, and very caring towards my pup. He seemed very happy when we returned home, Iâm grateful for her help! Would highly recommend

Daniel has been such a great help for our family, heâs been a reliable weekly sitter for our five year old doodle mix. He is a very good communicator and our dog LOVES hanging out with him. Daniel matches our dogâs energy and I feel comfortable having him do weekly drop in visits in our home.

Katherine was wonderful with our puppy! She had such a calming presence and immediately picked up on his cues for what he needed. She was incredibly detail oriented and was able to follow an extensive schedule for our puppy. We are hoping to be able to use Katherine as our primary sitter in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Richardson is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $31 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your petâs 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 8,063 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Richardson. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your petâs routine and the sitterâs availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your petâs usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 Richardson 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!
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 Justiceâs 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 Roverâs 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.
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.
While Rover doesnât offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Richardson with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days youâd like them to care for your pet.

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.
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 sitterâs 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, youâll 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.
