“Ruth was a wonderful pet sitter. Kittycat was in her own environment and was happy which made me happy when Ruth sent me pictures ever day. I will definitely ask for her again.”
“She did a super great job. She always followed up on my list to take care of our two dogs three cats and chickens. She also took pix of them for me to see and given me peace of mind. She’s very sweet and a caring person and I would have her again in the future.”
“Michael took incredible care of our dogs while we were away on vacation. He made sure both pups were completely comfortable and gave our GSD plenty of exercise, taking him on multiple walks and even running with him since he’s so active. We could tell our dogs had an absolute blast with him. They were relaxed, happy, and calm when we got home. We’re so grateful for the care he gave them and would highly recommend him!”
“Hannah did a great job with our two pups while we were out of town. She gave our dogs the love and attention. Would 10 out of 10 recommend her! if we are ever go out of town, we would love for her to take care of our pups again.”
“Aleona is the best pet sitter I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. She is so good with my blue heeler; spends time with him and loves on him like he’s her own pet. I have complete peace of mind when she watches my sweet boy. He’s a older dog…15 years old!”
“I am so grateful for Emma! She took amazing care of our two dogs while we were away on a two-week vacation. This was the longest we had ever left our dogs, so it was incredibly reassuring knowing they were in such great hands. Emma kept us updated with pictures every day, and we could tell our dogs were having the best time! They were taken on walks, groomed, and, most importantly, so well loved and cared for. We would absolutely love to book with Emma again in the future. We couldn’t recommend her more! ❤️”
“Regina kept my aging medically challenged blue heeler while I was in Australia. Even with the 15 hour time change, we communicated effectively through messenger. She gave him his meds twice a day (NOT) fun but was resourceful and patient. She stayed with him all day and he misses her. Highly Reccomend”
“Kyle was a fantastic dog-sitter! He was on-time, attentive, and quick to respond when booking a meet'n'greet, and the official date of his stay. He took great care of our dogs, and was very good about sending pictures and updates during his stay. We will definitely plan to book him again in the future!!!”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my dogs received this weekend! Leaving your pets with someone else can be stressful, but from the moment we met, I knew they were in great hands. I received regular updates, photos, and messages that gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. It was obvious my babies were well cared for, comfortable, and getting plenty of love and attention. When I came home, they were happy, relaxed, and clearly had a wonderful stay. I truly appreciate the kindness, professionalism, and genuine love shown to my pets. It’s clear that caring for animals isn’t just a job—it’s something Rachel genuinely enjoys. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Rachel again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable pet sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of my fur babies!”
About: Hi, I’m Colleen! If you’re looking for someone who will care for your pets as if they were family, you’ve come to the right place. I’m a dependable, detail-oriented professional with years of experience in pet care and training, where trust, responsibility, and communication are essential every day. Caring for others has always been at the heart of what I do, and that extends to caring for your furry family members. As an animal lover, I volunteer with local rescue organizations, I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pet loves long walks, energetic playtime, or simply wants a calm companion while you’re away, I’ll make sure they receive the attention, affection, and care they deserve. When your pets are with me, you can expect: * Plenty of love, attention, and playtime * Reliable feeding and medication administration if needed * Daily walks and exercise tailored to your pet * Frequent photo and video updates so you always know how they’re doing * Respect for your home’s routines and your pet’s schedule * Clear, prompt communication before, during, and after every visit I’m known for being reliable, organized, and trustworthy, and I take pride in giving pet parents complete peace of mind while they’re away. Whether you’re leaving for a weekend, a business trip, or just need help during the workday, I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry family members. I can’t wait to meet you and your loved ones! I dedicate my time to taking care of your furry family members. I am available early in the morning through night to ensure that your pets are well cared for. I live in a wonderful community that has a great dog park on site with lots of friendly pups. I also have my own five-year-old dog named Roxy.
“Alice was amazing! Her communication throughout the day was stellar, she was always swift to respond my texts and sent photos and videos at consistent morning, afternoon evening milestones. All those efforts really allowed me to relax and enjoy my vacation knowing my little one was in good hands. I will definitely be a regular.”
About: Hi! I’m Tiana founder of Honey & Hounds Pet Care 🐾🍯 I’m a nurturing, dependable sitter with a background in childcare and a special place in my heart for pets who need gentle, consistent care. I specialize in helping anxious, shy, or routine-loving pets feel safe, calm, and comfortable while their humans are away. Whether I’m staying overnight or stopping in for a walk, your pet will always receive cozy, attentive, and intentional care just like they would at home. ✨ What your pet gets with Honey & Hounds: • A calm, loving presence • Consistent feeding & potty routines • Anxiety-friendly care • Photo & video updates • Clear communication • Respect for your home and your pet’s habits • Plenty of patience and sweetness 🐶🐱 About me: • Background in childcare (I’m trusted with people’s babies and pets) • Experienced with anxious, sensitive, and shy pets • Confident handling routines and instructions • Enjoy creating peaceful, stress-free environments • Fully insured through Rover • Reliable, thoughtful, and detail-oriented • Dogs AND cats welcome 💛 🏡 My care style: I’m all about comfort, structure, and connection. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality and routines so they feel as relaxed as possible while you’re away. From feeding schedules to bedtime habits, I treat your pet like my own. 📅 Holiday & ongoing care: I offer overnight stays, walks, and drop-ins including holiday and extended care (which fills quickly!). Please message early to reserve your dates. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet like family and keep you at ease while you’re away, I’d love to meet you and your furry baby! Let’s set up a meet & greet 🐾💛 — Tiana Honey & Hounds Pet Care I work remotely, so I have lots flexibility and lots of time to dedicate to fur friends in need of care, love hugs, and attention. Before We Start • Meet & Greet: I learn your dog’s routines, cues, triggers, and comfort items. We review leash manners, crate habits, feeding/med timing, allergies, meds, and vet info. • Customized Plan: I follow your rules—walk routes, training cues, off-limit furniture/foods, and enrichment style so care feels consistent and safe. Home & Yard Safety • Fenced-In Yard: My yard is fully fenced; I do a quick perimeter check before every play session and keep gates latched/locked. • Supervised Outside Time: No unsupervised yard time. I’m always outside with your dog, watching for digging, fence testing, or wildlife. • Secure Entry/Exit: Doors and gates are closed before leashes come off. I use a “wait” cue at thresholds to prevent door dashing. Leash & Walk Protocols • Double-Check Gear: I confirm fit on collars/harnesses and use a secure clip leash (no retractables for safety). For strong pullers, I’m comfortable with front-clip harnesses. • Controlled Routes: I choose calm routes, avoid tight dog-to-dog greetings, and keep a safe distance from potential triggers (bikes, scooters, reactive dogs). • Weather-Smart Walks: I adjust duration/pace for heat/cold, check paw pads, and provide water breaks. In high heat, we stick to shade/grass and earlier or later outings. Indoor Care & Calm • Constant Vigilance: I’m a naturally watchful caregiver (and a preschool teacher!), so I anticipate needs, redirect unsafe behaviors, and keep environments tidy and hazard-free. • Safe Setups: Trash is secured; food, plants, and chewable cords are out of reach. If you use a crate or playpen, I follow your routine to create a calm, predictable space. • Enrichment with Boundaries: Mental games, sniffaris, and puzzle feeders are supervised and chosen to match your dog’s size and chew strength. Health & Hygiene • Clean Bowls & Surfaces: Fresh water at all times; bowls and mats wiped daily. I wash hands between pets and after handling food. • Medication Handling: I give meds exactly as directed and log doses/times. I’ll reach out immediately if anything seems off. • Watchful Monitoring: I track appetite, energy, stools, and behavior changes and update you with what I observe. - just a few things I do
“Melanie was fantastic. She was comfortable staying with my 5 dogs and did a great job. She stayed in contact & sent some photos while i was away. I felt totally safe leaving my home & dogs in her care. I will definitely be using her again!”
“I would highly, highly recommend Kristie! She did such an amazing job with our dog Josie, who had just lost her sister a few days before we went away. Kristie made sure that Josie was comforted and had all the extra love and care so she didn't feel lonely. We also received daily pictures and updates so we knew Josie was well taken care of. Having lost a dog before we left, we were uneasy about leaving Josie behind. But Kristie made us feel 100% like Josie was in the best hands and we knew she genuinely cared for her like she was her own. That was very meaningful to us. And, when we returned home, Kristie left a very thoughtful gift for us, which was a plant in memory of the dog we had just lost. I can't say how much that meant to us. Again, highly, highly recommend Kristie!”
“Maddy was fantastic!! She stayed with our big crew while we were away for a weekend and took perfect care of everyone. We got great reports and lots of pictures, and we came home to happy pets and a clean home. We’d absolutely recommend her!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Rockwall
Ruth was a perfect pet sitter for our very anxious dog, Rowdy. I was hesitant to book a vacation because I wasn’t sure how he’d do with someone new, but after our meet and greet, my fears went away. Ruth was exactly the calm, quiet person he needed to feel comfortable while we were away. She also handled our 2-year old Frenchie just fine. I’d book her again without hesitation. Would recommend!
Haile was a great dog sitter, and I would happily book her again. She was punctual both for our initial meet-and-greet and for the actual appointment, which I really appreciated. She was also very understanding and flexible when plans needed to be adjusted. Most importantly, she took excellent care of my dog and gave me peace of mind while I was away. Haile was reliable, professional, and easy to work with. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.
Alexis took great care of our pets over the 4th of July weekend. We especially appreciated her willingness to help us on such a busy holiday. When we returned home, our pets appeared happy and well cared for. We were grateful to have someone we could count on while we were away.
Abbie is my most recommended dog sitter! She did such an amazing job at taking care of my dog, whether it was feeding her, keeping her company, and walking her! I’m very happy with the care she took of not only my dog, but also my home as well. 10/10 service, will definitely book again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Rockwall
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Rockwall on Rover is $33.3 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 3,629 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Rockwall. 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 Rockwall 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 Rockwall 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 Rockwall 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Rockwall. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% 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.
