“I can’t say enough good things about Ruth! She took amazing care of our three dogs. Each of our pups has their own quirks and needs, and she handled everything with such professionalism, patience, and genuine affection. We got regular updates and adorable photos that gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. When we returned, the dogs were happy, calm, and clearly well-loved. The house and backyard was spotless, too! Reliable, kind, and clearly passionate about animals — we feel incredibly lucky to have found Ruth. Highly recommend to anyone looking for trustworthy, top-notch pet care!”
“Lana was so awesome. She kept me well up to date on how the dogs were doing daily. She went out of her way to make sure that they were happy and well taken care of. She is one of the best. I will definitely be using her again.”
“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 is the pet sitter super hero! He took exceptional care of our two dogs for the weekend! Our big dog is very hyper and demanding! But Kyle handled them like a champ! He also cleaned up home before leaving. Highly recommended and looking forward to our next trip and Kyle comes again!”
“Over and Above! Mary took care of our Rolly while we went on a well needed vacation. Her great communication and attention given to our little guy was excellent. She went above and beyond leaving our house in great condition and we will be calling on her again soon!”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life , I love them to pieces. I keep them active and will do as you’d like for your fur baby! I’ll take them for rides to the park if they love rides and or parks ! I can bathe them if need be! If they stay over night they can sleep in the bed with me. Just like a kid , if you don’t allow something then nor will I ! I have pets of my own so I ask that your pet be UTD on shots and not aggressive :) Look forward to updates and photos of your baby! feel free to contact me with any questions you may have ! Thank you and I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby! I love animals and have a flexible schedule, I work around you and your baby! Wether that be in your home or mine; they will have similar schedules. In my home: the garage is shut before the main door is opened. My yard is fenced and locked and they will never go out alone. I say that so you know your baby will not have the freedom to attempt escape.
About: Gentle giant whose goal is to walk a great dane!! Despite my height (6'11) I've only ever had great experiences with pets and being understanding. I've spent the last year raising a black Labrador named gauge from 2 weeks old and he's my best friend. I've dog sat for most family members on multiple occasions as my "side hustle". I've also got 2 kittens at home who are spoiled rotten. It would be an honor to take care of your little or not so little blessings!! Schedule is pretty open as I've relocated from east Texas into the area just recently. I'm almost always free to walk or drop in on any short notice :) Attention to detail!! Any specific rules or regimens will be followed just how you tell/show me. Keeping them comfortable and full of joy whether that be at home and/or having some time outside is my goal! Thank you for your consideration :)
About: I’ve owned pets all my life. I started taking actual responsibility when I was 10. I know how much care animals need. I’m here for them! I work full time from home. This makes the flexibility of checking in your animals that much easier. I can come as little or as much as your need. I always make sure my animals are comfortable and safe. They know they are well loved. Each animal has a different style of love. Some are more touchy feely than others! I respect their preference.
“It had always been a challenge to have reliable and available sitters for Max until we discovered Rover. Louann is great and always keeps us up to date. Thanks again for a great experience, Louann!”
“Grayson responded to my request quickly he was very responsive and planned a visit quickly. It was so convenient to have him in my neighborhood, and his rate was a very good one (so appreciative). I appreciate Grayson's attention to detail in taking care of my fur baby and friend. I would definitely book Grayson again!”
“Sarah was exceptional. I honestly couldn’t be more pleased with the care she provided for our dogs. We have a Dutch Shepherd/Belgian Malinois mix and a Chihuahua mix, and she did an amazing job with both of them. She was incredibly thorough, communicative, and responsive throughout the entire stay. She sent some absolutely incredible pictures that gave us peace of mind and showed just how comfortable and happy our dogs were in her care. Unfortunately, our dogs decided to be a little naughty while we were away and made quite a mess. Sarah cleaned up everything without complaint and went above and beyond what I would ever expect from a dog sitter. That level of dedication and care says a lot about the kind of person she is. I can’t say enough good things about her. She treated our dogs like they were her own, and it was obvious she genuinely cared about them. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, dependable, and caring to watch your pets, I highly recommend Sarah. We will absolutely be booking with her again”
About: For as long as I can remember, animals have been a constant in my life, and I've loved every second of it. From loving and caring for them to showering them with endless snuggles, there has never been a time where I wasn't with a furry friend. I have experience with pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to seniors who are slowing down (but still think they're puppies😉). If your pup has lots of energy and needs a play buddy, I'm your girl! And if your pet needs extra attention or medication, I have experience with that as well. If you choose me for an overnight stay, I prioritize treating your home with the utmost respect and care, just as I would my own, while also ensuring your privacy. Most importantly, ensuring your pet receives all the love they deserve. Over the past four years, I have cared for countless pets and homes, always doing my absolute best to keep them happy, safe, and well cared for. Feel free to message me with any questions! I love all animals, and I would truly appreciate the opportunity to love and care for your precious companions! *** Meet and Greets are welcome and preferred! We can set a meeting before any care provided to see if I'm the right fit for you and your furry family member. *** I am currently working Rover as a full time pet sitter and dog walker and a 100% of the time pet lover. Feel free to reach out and contact me for availability! While pet-sitting: I do my absolute best to keep your pets in their day-to-day routine and keep them comfortable while their family is away. While dog walking: I will keep your pet in cool shaded areas and ensure their safety at all times.
“Leannn was amazing with my furbabies. She is very kind and genuine. She communicated daily with me with picture and videos. I felt at ease with having her in my home taking care of my precious puppers. She reallly went above and beyond. I highly recommend her!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Rockwall
This was the first time we had ever used a in-home sitter for our spoiled Miniature Schnauzer and we were somewhat apprehensive to use one, but Ruth changed our opinions about them. She treated our baby baby like he was her own. She provided daily pictures and we feel he was much happier staying in his own environment.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Rockwall is $33 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $79 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.

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 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 Rockwall. 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.
