“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 am so grateful for Emma! She took amazing care of our two dogs while we were away on a two-week vacation. This was the longest we had ever left our dogs, so it was incredibly reassuring knowing they were in such great hands. Emma kept us updated with pictures every day, and we could tell our dogs were having the best time! They were taken on walks, groomed, and, most importantly, so well loved and cared for. We would absolutely love to book with Emma again in the future. We couldn’t recommend her more! ❤️”
“Hannah did a great job with our two pups while we were out of town. She gave our dogs the love and attention. Would 10 out of 10 recommend her! if we are ever go out of town, we would love for her to take care of our pups again.”
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.
“Always so happy when Jill can come stay with my girl. I can trust her to take care of the house and my baby will be happy and loved up! Jill is very popular for good reasons!”
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.
“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!”
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.”
“Christy was amazing with my pup! She stayed in my home for the weekend to watch her. She was extremely attentive and loving with my girl - sent me tons of photos and videos the whole weekend. I never even had to ask! I'll definitely be using her again.. highly recommend!”
“Marisol did a fantastic job taking care of my golden doodle, who can be a little particular when it comes to people. She was patient, kind, and made him feel comfortable right away. She sent daily updates with pictures. I came home to a happy pup and a tidy house — couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend her!”
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 full time student at the University of North Texas, but I have a very flexible and adaptable schedule to meet any of your 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.
“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! 💕”
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.

“Haley is the best sitter we have had! She takes the time to meet and understand your dogs’ needs first. I really appreciate all the updates she provides-videos, photos and messages so you know what is going on with your babies. She is extremely kind to my dogs and communicates very well. Highly recommend!”
“Marta and Marshall make a wonderful team. Our dog loves them and they are so responsive. While we were gone they went above and beyond to keep our home safe during a terrible cold snap. We will definitely ask Marta and Marshall to house sit in the future!”

On weekends and holidays I’m able to stay for extended periods of time. I’m pretty big about respecting boundaries pets are demonstrating through their actions or reactions.

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.

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!
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.

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.
