“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!”
“Aleona stayed with our boys for the first time this evening and she took such great care of them! She kept me updated, sent pictures and videos, and was all around attentive to our two very sensitive/anxiety filled boys. We are so glad to have found her!”
“Regina was on time, did everything we asked and kept us informed about her leaving Jet alone when she was going to be gone for a couple of hours. We came home to a happy dog and a clean house. Will hire her again.”
“She was extremely incredible with our 3 weenies who are still working on potty training! Would 100% use her again. She is super accommodating and kept us updated throughout the week. Finally had a stress free vacation thanks to her!”
“Awesome experience..Happy dog! Kyle stayed at our house for extended weekend with our Hazel and her disposition was so much better than when she is boarded while we are gone. Kyle went above and beyond on also taking care of the house and communicating with us! I definitely would use him again!”
“We cannot say enough wonderful things about Kristie! She took absolutely incredible care of our three dogs and treated them like they were her own. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were not only safe and well cared for, but genuinely loved while we were away. Kristie also looked after our home with the same level of care and attention. Everything was spotless and exactly as we left it when we returned. On top of that, she was unbelievably flexible and accommodating when our travel plans changed at the last minute. She handled everything with professionalism, kindness, and zero stress. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and truly compassionate to care for your pets and home, Kristie is the absolute best. We would recommend her without hesitation and can’t wait to book her again!”
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.
“Ava did an amazing job taking care of our new puppy. We were nervous at first but she helped a lot by sending pics and communicating with me throughout the day. I'm so happy we decided to book with Ava. We will definitely use her services again!”
“Laurie was amazing while watching my two dogs! She kept me updated and my dogs seemed so happy when I got home. My house was also spotless when I got back! Would definitely hire her again!”
“Kristin did an amazing job again watching our 3 dogs for a week & staying at our house while we were out of town! She was very responsive & helpful & cleaned everything before we got home. We trust her completely & highly recommend! Our fur babies miss her already! ❤️”
“Hailey was an excellent dog and house sitter. She is a good communicator and my 2 goldens loved her. The house and the dogs were in great shape when we got home. Thank you Hailey!!”
About: Well, most & foremost I transport pets not just dogs/cats across the United States from a person buying it from a pet store or a friend, etc to their destination of choice w/my set price. I also have my certificate in USDA for pets that I’ll upload in pictures. Moving forward I’ve walked dogs, bathe a cat & dog, was a pet sitter for cats/dogs and puppies. Am very good at communicating & reading/following my clients notes when it comes to food time/preparation or anything relatable to your lovable pet. SN: am very good at belly rubs if your animal loves that since that’s an all time favorite thing for puppies or cats period 😁 Am currently self-employed working on my terms so the time needed to cater/care for a client pet is a blessing to me. I prefer weekdays the most but wouldn’t mind a weekend for some pet attention😃 my availability will be open on ALL days unless something comes up unexpectedly but am a reasonable person w/others times/days etc. I currently help/ take care of my sons father female American bully whom I love. She’s very very smart & alert. So therefore, if I welcome/get that opportunity for a new pet into my home for boarding etc pls believe am treating him/her w/all the love possible. Pet toys & pet food isn’t a problem to me either you can provide your own but am very willing and can accommodate as well on my end.
“We needed dogsitter who would be comfortable staying in our home with our pups. We got that and more with Lyn. She did an excellent job caring for our pups. They found a new snuggle companion. Which was quite amazing because our 10-month-old Staffordshire terrier mix doesn’t warm up to anyone quickly. Additionally she cared for our plants inside and out. She respected our home and took excellent care of it. We look forward to working with her again in the future.”
About: Living the WFH dream! I’m so lucky to be able to spend my workdays curled up with furry friends. I love getting to know animals — their boundaries, personalities, quirks, and needs. I especially like multi-day stays because it allows animals time to adjust to a new presence and settle back into their routine. I work from home Monday-Friday, so I’m available for pet care all day any day! I’m able to work into my day things like play time, walks, and cuddle time. When I’m caring for your pet, I’m also caring for your home and the environment around them. I’m more than happy to tidy up, bring in the mail, water the plants, whatever is needed to keep things running. When I’m caring for your pets in your home, my goal is to deliver care that makes them feel safe, comfortable, and calm. Transitions are hard, and I know how crucial consistency is to reducing an animal’s distress when the pet parents go out of town.
“Eboni handled my pets very well! I have a mini pig who is constantly testing and needs lots of attention and firm instruction and Eboni handled it very well and I came home to a very happy pig. She also cared for my chickens well. Eboni is a quick learner and respects the rules you have for your pets and your home and gives them lots of love and attention. She is also someone I was very comfortable leaving alone in my home and left things neat and clean after a few days pet sitting. I highly recommend her.”
“Josh was very respectful of my house and treated my dog with excellent care. She was happy and healthy when I got home and house was clean with shades pulled for the predicted hot day. Even my neighbors commented on how well my dog was being cared for. Cece now has a new buddy as I would definitely call Josh again should I need a sitter.”

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!

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.

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 , 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.
