“Sandra is amazing , she took care for my senior chihuahua and kept me updated throughout the trip. Rebooking her for my 12 days trip . She’s so reliable and flexible.”
“Anne was so sweet. I felt very comfortable leaving our pups with her. She sent us so many cute pics and it looked like our dogs really enjoyed her company. It was our first time using Rover and I would highly recommend her and would love to have her back!”
“Melissa did an incredible job house/dog sitting for me. I have 2 large jobs who are a bit skittish and take time to warm up to people. She has a lot of experience with rescues, which was helpful. She was very communicative, took pictures, kept me posted, and she left our house very clean. Melissa will continue to be my go-to dog sitter when needs arise!”
About: Last minute requests accepted. Current ranch-hand and wrangler of two years, former dog groomer who grew up with every animal from your dogs and cats to horses to camels, sheep, goats, kangaroos, to birds and reptiles. I have worked with anyone from the the skiddish cat in the corner afraid of a leaf to the hard headed stallion fighting to be with the closest mare, so I’m very familiar with and confident in both anxious and strong willed personalities! I grew up horseback riding and helped my family a lot growing up with pet sitting as well, and with my experience dog grooming, am confident I can keep your family member as safe and comfortable as possible with their loved one away. Most people describe me as gentle, studious, and deeply attentive. As a former groomer I know how to deal with anxious dogs through the terrifying stages of grooming keeping them as comfortable as possible, through bathing, drying, and cutting fur professionally, even on animals who did not want to be there at all - I picked up a lot of skills in how to calm dogs in those states. I have experience in cats as well, having owned, raised, rescued, traveled with, and being a cat person myself, I’m familiar with both skiddish and aggressive cats and love all. I am happy to bring all that I’ve learned from my experiences now as I join Rover! When I’m in between seasonal ranchwork, I am available generally anytime for housesits, so last minute requests are welcome and accepted! I totally understand needing to be out of town for emergencies, much needed holidays, and among the plethora of twists and turns life offers us, and for that I am more than willing to help. I do primarily housesitting stays, and I can accommodate for most needs in house. Can administer oral medication as needed, can help train or keep up with tricks, and can bring pets to vet in case of emergency. Communicate your needs and I’ll be happy to work with you on them!
“Jocelyn did an amazing job taking care of our cats! She followed instructions from beginning to end and kept us updated with pictures twice a day, so we could have the peace of mind to enjoy our time away. We would love to book her again in the future. Thank you Jocelyn!!”
“Chanel is not just a dog sitter; she's a magical unicorn in the world of pet care! Jasper had a blast with her, and we couldn't be happier. Punctual, kind, and armed with a killer sense of humor, Chanel is the whole package. The videos and photos she shared were gold, but her witty captions stole the show, and Jasper was clearly living his best life We've already marked our calendars with her and we’re counting down the days until our next adventure, with Jasper safe and sound under Chanel's expert care.”
About: I’m experienced with high-energy & large dog breeds! I focus on structured, alert walks and attentive supervision. Above all else, I prioritize your dogs routine & safety first. I’m currently working part time, so my schedule is pretty flexible! I tend to be more available in the mornings & afternoons, but am happy to do evening work should the need arise! My schedule tends to vary week to week, but my evenings get busy from Thursday to Saturday. Otherwise, I’m happy to help! Safety, structure, and home security are my highest priorities. For house sittings and drop-ins, I strictly follow the owner's established rules, keep entryways locked, and double-check gates/doors before and after any outing. For walks, I practice active leash management and remain hyper-aware of my surroundings—maintaining safe distances from triggers, bikes, and other dogs. I ensure fresh water is always available, and send detailed updates after every visit so you know your pet and home are completely secure.
“Bryce was amazing. Our dogs loved him. He took good care of our place and our fur babies and we will be booking him again. We recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter! He left us a cute Polaroid of our furbabies and we thought it was very endearing and thoughtful. 😍”
“Mikayla was fantastic looking after our dog, puppy, and 3 cats last minute over the weekend. She was a great companion for our pets. Our puppy is 11-13 weeks old and has a demanding schedule, Mikayla did wonderfully meeting the needs of lil Mousse. Responsive, professional, flexible with meet and greet times, and patient as we assembled our Rover profile. The pets were happy and the house was as we left it. Highly recommend and would book again for housesitting.”
“Natalie and Travis were FANTASTIC pet sitters. They were so easy to coordinate with and took excellent care of our dogs while we were gone. We will definitely plan to use them again!”
“Kayla did a great job taking care of Odin! She took him on walks and sent pictures and updates throughout our trip. The house was clean and Odin was a very happy pup when we got home. I would definitely ask Kayla to dog sit for us again!”
“Tracy took great care of our three dogs and our home while we were out of town. She kept us updated on how things were going and we came home to happy pups. One of our dogs was recently diagnosed with diabetes and requires insulin shots twice a day. I was nervous about leaving him, but Tracy's experience with giving medications put me at ease. We definitely recommend Tracy - she was great!”
“Querhea did a great job taking care of our dogs! One of our dogs required a lot of eye medication and she ensured it was done exactly on time. She provided regular updates and left our house spotless.”
“Dani is the best!! She watched our dog at our house for a whole week between Christmas & New Years. She is very reliable and kind! Her communication was great - we received lots of sweet pictures and updates throughout her stay which was such a treat! Our dog immediately took to Dani and they became best friends right away 🥰 It was so nice knowing Winston was in good hands while we were gone. We would absolutely recommend her to take care of your furry loved ones!”
“This was our first time using Rover and of course we were nervous. We feel very lucky that we connected with Christian -- he did a fantastic job staying at our house and looking after our dog Daisy while we were on vacation for 11 nights. He was great at communicating with us during this time, he clearly did a great job taking care of Daisy & walking her (she was very relaxed and acted normal when we got back) and Christian left our house very clean (and our dog sheds A LOT, so I know he must have vacuumed before he left the house!) He came for a meet-and-greet beforehand and Daisy immediately like him. Christian clearly has a great demeanor and skill with dogs. We definitely recommend him and will continue to use him in future.”

About: I have had numerous animals since I was young, I have animal sat for cats dogs and even snakes, I did check ins, walks and grooming as well! I’m currently in college full time, so my schedule can vary, but I’m good at planning ahead and making time for pet care. I honestly enjoy spending my free time with animals because it’s a great way for me to relax and destress from school. I treat every pet like they’re my own and want them to feel comfortable and safe while I’m with them. I’ll follow their normal routine, pay attention to their needs, and make sure they’re always supervised and cared for.

Bree did a fantastic job house sitting and caring for Joey, Arya, and Mickey! She was wonderful with the pups, followed all of our care instructions to the letter, and gave us total peace of mind while we were away. She was truly awesome to work with reliable, attentive, and caring. We highly recommend Bree and would love to have her back anytime!
Sara is very sweet and was fantastic with my pup! He's a timid boy and is used to having me near. After meeting Sara prior to my trip, I had no worries at all about his care while I was gone. Sara sent nice updates and pictures throughout the stay. She gave my sweet boy the time and attention he needed. I knew she had won him over when he brought her his beloved ball. She also left our house in the clean tidy condition I left it in. I appreciate that. Everything was excellent! I wouldn't have asked for anything different. I will certainly call on Sara again.
Megan took great care of my pups, they looked happy and healthy when we got home! She was excellent with making arrangements for when she was working longer hours, and also stayed an extra night at short notice because our return flight was rescheduled. Highly recommend!
Look no further! You have found your sitter! Natalie is extremely poised, communicative, loving with our pets. We have only left our tiny toy poodles once before, so we are as neurotic as they come. At our “meet and greet”, our most shy one let Natalie hold her as we walked around the house and outside. Natalie is what we would call a dog-whisperer. Her personality is so calm, our babies trusted her immediately.
Bryce was AMAZING with taking care of our two dogs, Beaux & Radar. He sent me frequent pictures, some normal and some edited to be hilarious! We didn’t worry once with them being in Bryce’s care. You can definitely tell that he loves animals. We would definitely use him again!
Sydney did a truly wonderful job caring for my two older, large dogs. They can be a bit of a handful and need extra patience and attention, but Sydney handled everything with calm, confidence, and genuine kindness. From the moment we left, I felt completely at ease knowing they were in her care. She sent thoughtful updates and photos, kept them on their routine, and made sure they were comfortable and happy the entire time. It’s clear Sydney understands the needs of senior pets and treats them as if they were her own. We came home to two relaxed, content pups and a home exactly as we left it. I couldn’t ask for better. I would absolutely book Sydney again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and professional dog sitter. Thank you, Sydney, for taking such great care of our girls !

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Southlake is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $134 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.
As of October 2026, there are 5,102 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Southlake. 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 Southlake 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 Southlake 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 Southlake 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 , 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 .
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.
