“Sophia dog sat in our house over Memorial Day weekend & was fantastic!! She sent several updates and photos daily. She was super responsive and our doggies seemed to be happy in her care! She left our house in great condition. She even volunteered to let out the dogs again after leaving due to our flight being delayed. Would highly recommend her for any dog sitting or drop-in needs!!”

Our trip was extended by a day due to some flight delays and he was able to accommodate an additional night at the last minute, which was SO appreciated. We'd book him again in a heartbeat.”

They routinely do both visit types for us and we truly can’t give them enough praises for how well they take care of our fur babies.”

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!
We needed a great person to watch our doggie who is full of personality- but also anxiety while we traveled out of town for our son's college graduation. Isabella was absolutely amazing! She was attentive, flexible, responsible and especially kind and attentive to Mari. We are so grateful to her watching Mari which helped us enjoy graduation weekend. We thoroughly recommended her for any pet sitting need, 5 stars hands down.
Martin has been caring for Elliott for a few years now so I knew when I reached out for a last minute booking he would be well taken care of! In the past I would’ve dropped Elliott off but since Martin is no longer taking in those requests I asked for him to care for him at my apartment. It went phenomenally! He arrived to my house early and I was able to give him a rundown of the apartment and all of Elliott’s care instructions. Once I left, Martin was very responsive and would send me pictures as well throughout the day. Upon us returning, Martin was waiting at my apartment and he informed me that he had also already taken him out on his daily walk which was amazing since it’s been raining! As always Martin was amazing and very responsible.
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 !
Yijia was great and took care of my two dogs on short notice. She helped keep them busy, feed them and even clean up some of their accidents around the house which was appreciated! Also had a really bad storm damage my house while on Vacation and she helped clean up some of what was damaged outside, very helpful! Would highly recommend Yijia for anyone needing a dog sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Southlake on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 5,230 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.
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 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Southlake. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
