“Sandra did a great job taking care of our senior dog Zoe. Sandra is very easy to work with and worked well with our Alexa robots without getting intimidated. We would recommend Sandra wholeheartedly for your pet sitting needs!”
“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.”
“We couldn’t ask for a better sitter !! Leticia took wonderful care of our dogs while we were away. She handled their routine with total care. We will definitely rebook !!!”
“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!!”
“Madeline was great with our dog. She did an overnight stay and sent us pictures throughout the stay. We felt very comfortable knowing our dog was being well taken care of while we were gone. We will definitely be using her in the future! Thank you!!”
“Symone was a wonderful house sitter for both my dogs! I came home to a clean house and happy pups. She’s very professional and sent me daily videos and updates. I would definitely ask her to do it again.”
“Janet was awesome with our dog Murphy. Lots of pics of him along the way. Very happy she was able to watch him for us. She was so accommodating with specific asks (dog walks, taking to groomer, watering plants, etc). She definitely went above and beyond.”
“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. 😍”
“Haley was incredible! She made everything so easy and was an absolute pleasure to work with. We came home to a spotless house and felt completely at ease knowing Bailey was in such great hands. The daily updates and pictures were a wonderful. We’ll definitely be booking with her again! Thank you, Haley”
About: I have taken care of all kinds of dogs and cats. I take them on walks, play with them, feed them, and even sweep, mop and vacuum for pet hair. The most animals I’ve taken care of at a time was 4 cats and two large dogs, keeping all happy, cared for, loved and entertained. I currently have one college class on Tuesday and Thursday from 2-3:20 and I have a Bible study on Wednesday from 1-2. I will be free the rest of the time to love and cherish your fur babies. I love animals and will care for them with all the love I have. I will play with them, love them, keep them happy and cared for. They will always be petted and babied.
About: I have had dogs for 25+ years. They're a part of my everyday existence. I was primary caretaker for the last three dogs for ten years. I have successfully trained and retrained all of them "post adoption", and then again at every three year mark. I'm the "dog whisperer" in our family. Dogs are "better" judges of character than most humans, and they love me! I will treat your fur baby with the same level of love, attention, and care that I treat my own. I walk my own before the sun comes up, and again at night if its below 90. We do little training sets anytime behavior starts to slip. I take care of my aging parents, which occupies a few hours in the mornings and evenings. Outside of that, I am more than willing and able to take the proper time, attention, and effort that your pet needs and deserves. I can be flexible with your scheduling needs. Sometimes life is busy, but the "babies" still need prioritization. I have a fenced yard with a dozen grown oak trees for shade and yard play. There is also a pool where my current dog enjoys a morning cool down swim! Dog care in my home is very routine. Feeding and walking times are on a consistent daily schedule. All pills are marked clearly for time and dosage. I keep the treats to a minimum based on daily activity. I/we do treat them a bit more like "people" than dogs. They ARE family to us. We have never had a health or safety related "incident" that would fall outside the normal scope of animal health. Our family dogs have all lived long, happy, healthy lives. We spare no expense. They get what they need and then some, just as if they were a child.
“Maggie was amazing! It was the first time we had someone stay in our home with our dogs and it went so well! Maggie sent us pictures every day with updates which we really appreciated. One of our dogs tends to be anxious around new people, but she was so comfortable with Maggie from the start. We will definitely be rebooking with her for our future trips!”
“Querhea is an absolute delight and pleasure to work with. She took care of my babies while I was in surgery and they love her. She even stayed past her scheduled time until we got home from surgery the next day. I will be booking her for all our family needs”
About: I’ve had lots dogs growing up 5 at one time and worked on a farm with many animals and a pack of dogs I have a working dog myself currently that I love and take care of. I play college beach volleyball I usually train early in the morning but am available whenever I have a very flexible schedule to be needed whenever. I have a working dog and then a sweet pit mix I walk them daily and run my working dog on the regular 3 miles or more. I’ll play with them outside and give pets and cuddles. As well as I have my own cat Rio who I love and adore and make sure he gets attention as well
About: I have 4 years of pet shelter experience where I would walk dogs of all sizes, care for them, and play with them, along with other cleaning tasks. One thing about me is that I have lots of energy and endurance to play with and run with dogs. I also have cat experience where I would care for and play with the cats at the shelter. I have experience living with a dog and cat, as well as young puppy experience. I also have been dog sitting for friends and family friends throughout mv lifetime. I’m currently working part-time from home, where I can pick my own hours, so I can dog/cat sit whenever you are in need! I am available weekdays, and I am available weekends if given enough time notice! I have no other pets, so your animals will feel safe and not intimidated. I live in a gated community with a beautiful, large, walking path amongst trees, along with a dog park!
“Jose watched all 3 of my dogs for a week! He left the place better than he found it and followed all instructions. The dogs were big fans, and so am I. Highly recommend!”
“Lauren was amazing, communication with her is easy, she follow everything I asked for Picasso! I would recommended her with eyes close!!! Definitely will count with her whenever Picasso needs a sitter! 🫶🏾🐾🫶🏾”
“I want to thank Demi and her husband for watching Henry at the last minute. I just moved to Texas and my sitter canceled. They sent photos and kept me updated. I would 💯 recommend and book with them again”
About: I've grown up around all sorts of pets! I'm comfortable around any size and breed of dog, and I'm able to follow whatever instructions you need. I'm currently in university and working part-time. Regardless, I'm able to stop by as frequently as needed, and more than willing to housesit within my schedule. However you need food prepared, or whatever time you need a walk done, I can be sure to do it! Any sort of medications or treatments can be done if needed. I pride myself on my flexibility and willingness to help.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Southlake
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.
