“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!”
“Marisol always does great with Rocky. He always appears to have been well taken care of and enjoys her company. She also handled a confusing situation at my home and made Rocky's care the priority. She has been great.”
“Maddy watched my dogs for the weekend and was great! She had great communication and was very tidy and respectful of our house. My dogs looked so happy in the photos she sent. I also appreciated how much time she spent at the house as one of my dogs struggles with separation anxiety, so knowing someone was spending time with him really eased my concerns while we were away and helped me focus more on our trip!”
“London was great! She was extremely responsive, respectful and flexible. She took great care of Dogman, sent picture updates and made sure we stayed informed. I would definitely book with her again!”
“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.”
“Molly was absolutely amazing. She communicated clearly and provided daily updates, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. She was also fully prepared to administer medications to our two senior dogs without any issues. All of our babies clearly loved her, and we came home to a clean house and happy, healthy pets. We’re so grateful for the wonderful care she provided! 🐾”
“Kayla did such a good job watching our pups while we were gone. She updated me multiple times a day and made sure the dogs were happy and loved. We came back to a spotless house as well. We highly recommend her for any pet/house sitting needs.”
“Jasmine was great with Max! She sent pictures a few times today to let me know ow how he was doing. And I feel like she left my house cleaner than I left it! Highly recommend - will use again for sure!”
“Gary was a pleasure to work with. Our boys took to him right away. He kept us updated on a regular basis and relieved most of the stress of leaving our boys behind. He took lots of pics and we were always happy to hear from him and how the boys were doing. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone and we will certainly be using him in the future. Thanks, Gary!!”
“Barbara always takes such good care of our dogs! She stayed at our house this time and did a wonderful job. We love receiving the regular updates she sends. We know Dixie and Cupid are in great hands with Barbara!”
“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!”
About: Though I do not own my own pets I have always been around dogs and have been a source for family members when they need their dog taken cared of. I’m currently a part-time worker at Anthropologie and I am taking summer classes, but I have a very flexible and adaptable schedule to meet any needs! I follow each pet's normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and stress-free. I provide fresh food and water, regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages. In a client's home, I make sure their pet receives consistent care while keeping the home clean and secure. My goal is to provide a safe, loving environment where pets feel happy and cared for.
“Latisha was fantastic! She watched over our two pups for a weekend in our home. She sent frequent updates and photos. She took the time to help our anxious dog acclimate to her being there. The house was tidy when we arrived home. I will definitely use her again!”
“Roua was great! I highly recommend her. We have two large dogs that can be over whelming for most people. When we got home, the house was clean and our dogs looked happy & seemed well exercised. My husband and I use Roover several times a year and have had both good and bad experiences so we were grateful to found Roua.”
“Debbie was fantastic. She house sat and watched our two larger (and older) dogs. The girls were well cared for with medication and being spoiled. She sent regular updates and asked great questions before staying. Highly recommend Debbie!”

Marisol is absolutely amazing! She consistently goes above and beyond when caring for our husky, Mishka, treating her like she’s part of the family. We always have complete peace of mind knowing Mishka is in such loving, dependable, and attentive hands. We couldn’t ask for a better dog sitter and highly recommend Marisol to anyone looking for exceptional pet care!
This was the second time we had Maddy watch our beagle boys and once again, she was absolutely fantastic. Maddy is extremely good at communication and kept me very well informed on how they were doing each day. She did great at giving my dogs their daily medication and helping us keep my one chunky beagle on his green bean diet while we were away. My dogs looked so happy in the pictures and videos she sent and we returned to a clean house with some tired, happy dogs. It was such a relief to know they were in such good hands while we were away and I will absolutely be contacting Maddy again for future pet sitting.
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.
Jeremy stayed at our home for a week with our fur babies. He took great care of them, sent pics and videos, and kept us updated all week. We were lucky to have him! He not only watched our babies, but grabbed the mail, watered the plants, and even washed the sheets after staying at our home. Above and beyond and greatly appreciated!

FAQs for House Sitting - Rowlett
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Rowlett on Rover is $38.85 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 4,232 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Rowlett. 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 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 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.

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.
