“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 is AMZAZING!! He treated our pups as his own and sent me continuous updates without me having to ask. I did not worry one bit with my babies being in his care. Will use him every time we need to!”

“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!”
“Kyle did an amazing job. Not only did he love and care for our fur babies but he also spent the night with them. He watered our garden and brought in the mail. Our dogs weren’t overly stressed with us being gone. We can tell because their pops have been solid. As you dog lovers may know. He left the house spotless. We were able to enjoy our trip knowing the girls were in good hands. We will definitely use Kyle again.”
“Kayla was wonderful with my 3 dogs. She treated them as her own and was sure to send lots of updates. She was great with the house and was able to deal with a minor emergency that arose.”
“Maddy was punctual at our meet and greet, and she made me feel at ease leaving my 2 fur babies in her care. She left my house clean, and even poop scooped the yard for me. This was the 1st time in 9 yrs that my dogs have been away from me, so I would have liked to have received more pictures to put my mind at ease being away from them. She did respond to all of my texts (which were probably excessive), and my dogs seemed perfectly happy when I got home. Maddy is a very sweet girl, and I would recommend her to anyone.”
“Mari was so great with our sweet Maple girl. She read the instructions we provided and took great care of her. I felt perfectly comfortable leaving my dog alone with her for 10 days.”
“Regina is great! My puppies just love her and I highly recommend her! One of my pups is very skittish and he warmed right up to Regina and even ate his dinner for her. Thank you so much Regina for watching my pups! Sherry Seale”
About: I’ve had animals my entire life and have cared for both dogs and cats since I was little. Growing up with pets has taught me how to understand their different personalities, routines, and needs. I treat every pet like they’re my own, whether that means going for walks, playing, feeding, cleaning up after them, or simply giving them love and attention. I’m dependable, patient, and happy to send photo updates so you know your pet is safe and happy while you’re away. I currently work on weekends, so I’m most available Monday through Friday. My schedule allows me to provide drop-in visits, walks, and quality time with your pets during the week. I’ll always communicate clearly about my availability and make sure your pet receives the care and attention they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any special routines your pet has. I’ll treat both your pet and your home with respect, make sure everything is secure before I leave, and send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“We booked Chelsea for dog sitting in our home, and she was amazing! She kept us in the loop of everything going on with the pups with texts and pictures. She told us beforehand the times she would need to be away from the house and she stayed on the schedule she gave us. Never had to worry about the dogs being alone too long. I highly recommend booking with her and would definitely book with her again.”
“Devyn was so good with our crazy Goldendoodle, Cooper. He doesn’t have the best manners when people come over (he likes to jump on everyone) and she handled that so well. Cooper recently lost his fur sibling and is use to his regular sitter, but Devyn made him so comfortable and he was very happy to see her when she came back to watch him (we did a meet and greet) She is so incredibly sweet and can be trusted to care for your pet/s.”
About: I have over three years of hands-on pet care experience, caring for dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and personalities. My experience includes feeding, walking, cleaning up after pets, and ensuring that pets feel safe and comfortable while owners are away. I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate time every day for walks, feeding schedules, and playtime. I’m available in the morning, afternoon, and evening! I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, preferences, and any special care instructions from their owner. I prioritize communication, safety, and trust. I also provide updates and check ins.
About: I provide a professional, structured, and custom service for your dog with detailed updates. Certified in pet first aide and currently working on my canine training certificate, I offer tailored enrichment sessions and light exercise depending on their needs, from puppies to seniors. This is not your typical stop-by experience. I offer things you can't get anywhere else. Ask for more details! I am self-employed and a toddler mom to one. My business is dogs and I find this job rewarding and fun! Aside from vacation times, I'm available most days to spoil your pup. I have two senior dogs Julius the husky and Athena the border collie, as well as Theo the pomapoo who's 5. Big dogs are my favorite but I also love cuddling the little ones. I do not mind what you would call "aggressive" breeds. Husky's have also gotten a bad wrap about being "destructive" and for the most part, it's just not warranted. If I do feel aggression from your pup that could cause serious injury, I will step away from the home and call to ask for recommendations on how to approach them. If it does not seem to be working, I will work with you to find alternate care so that you aren't stranded. Dogs are allowed to have bad days too, and I won't give up easily.
About: I’ve always grown up with dogs and cats in my life and have learned how to love them unconditionally - I foster cats and dogs with the garland animal shelter -several neighbors and friends who have given me their trust in their fur babies for weeks -I have personally trained my own dog to preform tricks as well as etiquette around others in a very conditioned manner -I love all animals equally, less or more playful, shy or not, they are all very loved and cared for I don’t work currently, focusing on online college. I go to the gym in the mornings but mainly my entire schedule could be worked around if needed. I have plenty of time to take care of your fluffs of energy I live in a nice two story home with a good sized backyard, I do have a small terrier mix who keeps to herself mainly around other animals but is very friendly. Any care needed for your fur babies I could take care of without an issue. I keep a very maintained schedule so feeding, walking, playing will always be taken care of accordingly
“Kendra did a great job, even though there was a winter storm she still went thru all the trouble to make sure my dogs were taken care of, she’s very attentive, kind to our dogs and great communication with us, throughout the stay.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Rockwall
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.
This was our first time letting someone stay in our home and care for our animals. We usually boarded our dog. Ruth kept me updated every day with photos and responded to all my text. My house was just as I had left it. We have found our go to girl to care for animals.
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 $36.53 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 3,706 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:
- 91% 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.
