“Zoe was amazing! Incredibly thoughtful with the dogs and super communicative. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I wish she was in Dallas full time as she would definitely be my first choice to watch the dogs when I’m out of town!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Ruth! She took amazing care of our three dogs. Each of our pups has their own quirks and needs, and she handled everything with such professionalism, patience, and genuine affection. We got regular updates and adorable photos that gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. When we returned, the dogs were happy, calm, and clearly well-loved. The house and backyard was spotless, too! Reliable, kind, and clearly passionate about animals — we feel incredibly lucky to have found Ruth. Highly recommend to anyone looking for trustworthy, top-notch pet care!”
“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.”
“I cannot recommend Michael highly enough. My girls were relaxed and cared for with the same love and spoiling they get when I’m home. His communication and regular updates gave me peace of mind and allowed me to truly relax and enjoy my vacation. I will definitely use him in the future!”
“Izzy went above and beyond during her stay with our golden retriever Mav. She took great care of him and our home. We can gladly recommend her with confidence and will certainly hire her again. 10/10!”
“Thank you so much for caring for our dogs while we were away. This was our first vacation away from them, and honestly one of the hardest parts was trusting someone new with such important members of our family. We were nervous leaving them and worried about how they would adjust, but your kindness, patience, and care gave us so much comfort and peace of mind. It meant more to us than we can properly put into words knowing they were safe, loved, and cared for while we were gone. Thank you for helping make such a big step feel a little easier for both us and the dogs. We truly appreciate you.”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better person than Marta! She took care of my dogs while I was out of town, I knew they were in great hands. Marta is incredibly caring, attentive, and professional. She went above and beyond to ensure my pups were comfortable, happy, and well-cared for, and it was clear they adored her.”
“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!”
“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! 🐾”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my dogs received this weekend! Leaving your pets with someone else can be stressful, but from the moment we met, I knew they were in great hands. I received regular updates, photos, and messages that gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. It was obvious my babies were well cared for, comfortable, and getting plenty of love and attention. When I came home, they were happy, relaxed, and clearly had a wonderful stay. I truly appreciate the kindness, professionalism, and genuine love shown to my pets. It’s clear that caring for animals isn’t just a job—it’s something Rachel genuinely enjoys. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Rachel again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable pet sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of my fur babies!”
“Stephany was wonderful! My wife and I recently moved to Texas and didn't have anyone close to help us so we turned to Rover for the first time. Stephany was so easy to work with, she is met with us for a meet and greet, took the time to keep contact with us while we were gone with daily updates, and kept up our house as well! I would recommend Stephany to anyone!”
“Morgan was fantastic with my girl Jovi over the holidays! She was very accommodating about a few unexpected requests I had to make last minute, sent pics throughout her stay that showed Jovi was super comfortable & content with her, and left my place exactly as she found it. Will definitely rebook!”
“Tamera was great and our fur babies were well taken care of. This was our first time with a home sitter and our first time using Tamera. She was attentive and provided us with regular updates and pics. We will definitely continue to work with her in the future!”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 12 years old. Neighbors, family friends and family have relied on me to take care of their furry family members. As someone who has dogs of their own, I know how much your animals mean to you. I have had experience with puppies, all the way to older dogs. Although I work full-time, I still have plenty of time to care for your furry family members! I’m available for weekend drop-in visits and can stay in your home any day of the week to keep your pets comfortable and maintain their normal routine. I strive to make pets feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. I follow their normal routine as closely as possible, provide plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, and ensure they always have a safe environment. I pay close attention to each pet’s individual needs and keep owners updated throughout my visits or stays.
“Chaka was amazing with my girl! She has a special temperament at times and they seemed to get on just fine without me. As long as she is willing I will have Chaka back time and again.”

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!
Randy was awesome! Our three big doggos loved him! He took special care and patience to deal with all of their quirky eating habits and gave medications as instructed. He sent us pictures several times and communicated clearly. Will keep Randy in mind for our next trips!
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! Hire them if you need a great sitter for your fur babies

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 August 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 August 2026, there are 4,192 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.

- 90% 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.
