“This was our first and certainly will not be our last time to have Emma watch our Morty! She was very diligent with updates and pictures several times a day. It was obvious by the photos how happy, well taken care of and loved on he was.”
“Olivia was good with the dogs, and Waylon seemed to have a lot of fun with Espi. She was very communicative and left the house clean. We will definitely reach out next time we need a sitter.”
“Megan did an amazing job watching our two big dogs! She followed every little detail of instructions we left and kept the house in great condition. Our dogs have polar opposite personalities and she was able to accommodate to both of them so well. We really appreciated her great communication while we were gone and would highly recommend using her!”
“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.”
“Ashlee M. Is awesome pet and home sitter!!! Even after a large snake was curled up on our front door her first day, that did not deter her from doing a great job with our pets and home! Would recommend, trust and use her again anytime!”
“Karina was great!!! She dog/house sat for 5 nights. I could tell she paid attention to all the notes I left her (which was a crazy amount lol) and kept the dogs in their normal routine. It’s been such a relief to find someone we trust to stay at our home with our doggies while we’re away. Highly recommend! 💕”
“Kendra was amazing! Skipper and Flower loved her and she took such good care of them! She was great about sending me updates and pictures at least once a day. I could tell they were being loved well. Kendra also took great care of our home. She even washed the bedding in our guest room for me! That is above and beyond. I’m so thankful for her.”
About: When it comes to walking dogs. It’s a wonderful feeling to just be on a stroll while being accompanied by Mans best friend. Every pet will get much exercise and lengthy walks. During each walk each Pet will have completed their jobs in addition to their exercise. All Pets will be monitored and kept away from other dogs due to the fact that other dogs that are around may not be friendly. Pets will treated with respect at all times simply because the connection between i and the pet must be strong. In order for trust and the most optimal friendship to form I and the pet will have to initiate bonds. This will help wonders to getting the pet to listen while taking walks. I’ve owned 3 pets myself and came to learning a lot from each one. I was timid at first but I grew to love them overtime. Handling dogs is now like second nature. If you can identify the signs they give off then you can prevent a lot of accidents.
“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!”
“Was wonderful we would definitely book her again.. she treated our dogs like her own.. very sweet very attentive.. definitely book her! She even came in and checked on my dogs while I was still gone, thankfully! So appreciative!”

“Cristina did a fantastic job babysitting our two dogs while we were traveling for over a week. Giorgi and Lucy love spending time with her. She kept us well-informed with regular updates and sent us plenty of pictures. Thank you, Cristina, for taking such great care of our pups!”
About: I believe pet sitters should be pet owners themselves. There has never been a time in my life where I didn't have at least 1 dog and 1 cat in my own household. They are my cherished family members, and I will feel the same about yours by offering trustworthy care, attention and love. Although I have loved all my pets, I have a special place in my heart for those I have saved through adoption or dire circumstances. I work one day a week at the hospital so have a very flexible schedule. My part-time online biz allows me to work from anywhere so I can be home snuggling with your fur baby! My 2 dogs love to explore our fenced backyard and are not allowed outside near the pool without supervision...they are little! They love to walk to the park, follow me around and cuddle with me at night. My cat is far more independent but won't sleep anywhere but beside me. When I stay at your house, they will all settle for my husband at home...although they probably prefer me.
About: I am a very genuine and caring person . I love all type of animals and i am a mom to two fur babies myself. Your pet will be cared for in a safe environment. I currently work from home so your pet will be looked after full time. I am able to keep a close eye on them as well as taking them for walks every 2-4 hours providing them with proper nutrition, fresh water, regular exercise, a safe environment, necessary medications, hygiene practices, and mental stimulation, while also adhering to their specific needs and routine, including taking them to the bathroom as needed
“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.”
About: I have taken care of animals since I was a kid. I know animals cues and behavior very well. I volunteer with DAS. I will take very good care of your furry friend! I'm only working part time so I have plenty of time for watching your fur babies. I spend a lot of my time around the home, so I'm never far if you need me. I have a fenced yard and 2 crates if your animal needs to be crated. I have a large front yard and live in a very nice neighborhood for long walks.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Rowlett
Emma was fantastic! We were nervous about leaving our dogs with anyone outside of family and have never put them in a kennel. She surpassed all expectations and we are very excited to have her again. She kept in touch, house was spotless, and I really can’t express how happy we are. You won’t regret Emma or this service.
There are not enough stars to qualify all that Michael did to care for our home and pets while we traveled for a week!!! Our pup was hesitant about eating and he was like the dog whisperer finding what worked best! ! Our cat who trusts no one, was won over by him and enjoyed his back rubs. He gave our pup great play and walking time and more attention than we ever do!!! He cared for the home like it were his own and left everything super clean and neat ! He definitely went above and beyond! His communication every day, along with a copious amount of pictures was such a gift for us and put our minds at ease.We are so incredibly blessed to have found Michael ! Our pup misses him dearly.
I had a great time working with Christine. She is kind, patient, and communicative which is exactly what we needed for peace of mind during a long trip away from our cats. I am very paranoid about leaving my cats but Christine matched my requested schedule and accommodated any specific requests or instructions for cat care. I would definitely recommend Christine for any pet sitting needs!
Maddy was wonderful and Walter loved her as soon as he met her. She came on a holiday weekend on short notice which is greatly appreciated. We had great communication before her visit and while we were away from home she sent us photos and kept us updated on how Walter was doing. Next time we need someone to watch Walter we will definitely contact Maddy.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Rowlett is $42 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $61 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 Rowlett 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 Rowlett 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 Rowlett 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.

- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
