About: I've taken care of both dogs and cats and have owned both! Pet sitting isn't just a job for me, it brings me joy! I've been around animals all my life and I am also bilingual! I work part time only 8am to 1pm so I am fully available after that! On Saturdays I work 9-3! I'd love to fit in pet care anywhere after! I care for my 2 cats with constant love, attention, play time and stimulation! They are very well loved! I have also taken care of my family dog for almost my entire life! No matter what age or breed I am %100 capable!

About: If you are looking for someone who is 100% reliable, follows instructions, attentive to details, matches your pet's energy, and prioritizes your pet's health and safety, book me! Ask about my code for $20 off your first Rover booking! I am a life-long animal lover and have owned and cared for a variety of species including dogs, cats, small mammals, many species of reptiles, chickens, cattle, and horses. I have a solid history of providing dependable house-sitting, farm-sitting, and pet care services for multiple individuals in my church and community. I've got the references to prove it. My dog is an elderly basenji mix named Demelza. She has had a remarkable recovery from an IVDD-triggering accident that caused her temporary loss of mobility of her hind end. Through that experience and the veterinary professionals who helped her, I learned how to care for a disabled dog and know what to watch for in dogs at risk. I also have a bearded dragon, a uromastyx, and a kingsnake. With the recent passing of my heart horse Fritz, I have plenty of time and love to give to other people's animals. Schedule me for one-time or recurring visits, overnight sitting, or dog walking! Mondays: Available 6am-2pm and 9pm-10pm Tuesdays: Available 6am-2pm and 6:30pm-10pm Wednesdays: Available 6am-2pm and 8:30pm-10pm Thursdays: Available 6am-2pm and 8:15pm-10pm Fridays: Available 12pm-10pm Saturdays: Available all day Sundays: Available 6am-10am and 2pm-10pm I cannot accommodate your pets in my home as my personal dog is a senior rescue who tends to be anxious and aggressive toward other dogs.
“Jill watched our two dogs for 4 nights and it was a great experience. This was our first time having someone stay at our house with them, and by the end of our trip they were following Jill around and happy. Her communication was great, with multiple pictures every day and quick responses to our questions. Plus, our dogs were great eaters for her, unlike when they have stayed at family members' homes.”
About: I've been a foster carer for various greyhound organizations here (ATX and DFW) and in Australia. I get the hounds that are cat safe and get them used to living with cats. I'm always fostering, which is why I cannot take in more dogs for sitting, but I can do pop-ins. Before I fostered greyhounds, I used to petsit for friends' parents. I love to scritch ears, make up stupid songs for them, and play on the floor. My current pack consists of two sighthound mixes and two middle-management cats. Am I Katy or Mary? Both. The joy of going by either the first name or the nickname. You can call me Katy. The IRS can keep calling me Mary ... and please, if you're from IRS, don't call me. I am currently working from home and would love the excuse to get out and walk or, when it's really too hot, engage in play in the backyard. I am mindful of the various personalities I could encounter. I understand that not all pets want to play. Some want to chill and know that you're there. Others need to get that energy out. When doing pop ins, I would be mindful of what their humans say.
About: As a full-time work-from-home professional, your pet will enjoy constant companionship and a highly predictable routine throughout the day. I specialize in providing attentive care for both energetic puppies who need consistent potty schedules and senior dogs requiring gentle pacing and precise medication management. My home is a calm, hazard-free environment designed for safety, and I intentionally limit bookings to one family at a time to ensure your dog receives my absolute focus, regular exercise, and undivided affection. As a lifelong animal lover with over 5 years of pet care experience, I treat every furry guest like a member of my own family. My goal is to provide a safe, high-energy, and stress-free environment tailored specifically to your pet's unique personality and daily routine. Whether your dog craves long, structured neighborhood walks, intense fetching sessions, or just a quiet spot on the couch for endless belly rubs, I ensure they receive constant attention, love, and mental stimulation. I am extremely detail-oriented, highly communicative, and will text you frequent photo and video updates so you can enjoy your time away with absolute peace of mind. Whether hosting your pet for a fun-filled staycation at my house or caring for them in the comfort of their own home, safety and peace of mind are my top priorities. In my home, your pet will enjoy a fully secured, hazard-free environment with plenty of cozy spaces, separate boundaries for safety, and constant supervision. When checking on or sitting at your home, I strictly respect your property, follow all security protocols, and replicate your pet's exact feeding, walking, and medication routines to minimize separation anxiety. I keep emergency vet contacts ready at all times and send frequent, reassuring updates so you always know your best friend is safe, happy, and loved.
“Courtney took great care of my 3yo dog and my house for a whole week! Goldie is an anxious rescue but when we did a meet and greet she was so calm with Courtney that I felt really comfortable leaving them together. Anxiety is her only special need but Courtney was ready, willing, and able to discuss any meds or other care needs when we met in person.”
“Kathleen was a good dog and house-sitter. She quickly responded to texts to update us on how the dogs were and all was in order upon our return, except that she closed the doggy door.”
“Cristina did a great job watching my new dog Dolly when I went out of town for a week just two weeks after adopting my 7-month-old shelter dog. Dolly was still figuring out my house and yard and cat, Lulu. Christina helped with Dolly’s training and kept me updated with news and progress. I did not worry about my pets while I enjoyed visiting my new twin grand daughters. Thanks, Cristina!”
“Morgan was wonderful to work with. She took great care of our dogs and house and communicated daily with updates and photos of our pups. We already have plans to use Morgan again in the near future.”
“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.”

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.
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!

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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!

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.
