“Once again, thank you for everything...Tyler is extremely attentive to my dogs and always keeps an eye out for everything around the house...front door packages, mail, beeping fire detectors...always at ease when I travel.”
“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!!”
“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 !!!”
“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.”
About: I’ve taken care of friends and family’s cats and dogs for many years and always enjoy each pet’s unique personality. I love tailoring my visit to what your pet needs; whether it is an energetic walk and playtime, or a chill hang on the couch. I’ll be there for your pet however is needed! I currently work 30 hours weekly, giving me flexibility for pet care. I'm available early mornings and afternoons for walks, drop-ins, feedings, and companionship. I create a safe, familiar environment by following your pet's routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication, and plenty of attention and care. I am also available to meet your pet beforehand so they can be familiar with me before caring for them while you’re away.
“Rachel was by far the best dog sitter I have ever had! I am new to the area and was so nervous to have to leave my babies but Rachel immediately put me at ease. Rachel kept me up to date on everything the whole week! I will definitely rebook Rachel in the future! I 100% recommend Rachel!”
“Haley was so attentive during her stay and always stayed in communication about what was going on while we were gone. We received so many cute photos of our pets, too, which we loved.”
“I don't have words to express how amazing Kaylen have been with Picasso and how she always left everything in order in the apartment. She have been taking care of Picasso for almost a month, and definitely will be counting on her anytime we need the help for Picasso!!! Her communication , she’s often sending updates and pictures, and if you need your babies to be snuggle and spoiled of love, Kaylen is the perfect fit !!!🫶🏾🐾🫶🏾”
“We are so blessed having Emma taking care of Picasso, It was very easy to explain all of Picasso's needs to Emma; I had a family emergency and I was able to leave with peace of mind, knowing that from day one, Emma demonstrated the knowledge and patience to care for our little old guy. I recommend her 100%.”
“Madeline was available last minute and made me feel safe leaving my kitties behind for a few days. She sent pictures of each of them to me and made me feel they were loved and well taken care of while I was gone. I highly recommend Madeline to anyone needing help, especially those who may need extra cuddles or medication needs!”
“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!”
“Rebekah did a wonderful job keeping my babies and home safe while I was away. She sent photos and little updates which I loved! Definitely will be having Rebekah help out if I need it again!!”
“Keri was absolutely fantastic! She took great care of my home and my cat while I was away. Communication was consistent and thoughtful, with regular updates and photos that gave me total peace of mind. My cat was clearly happy, comfortable, and well cared for when I returned, and my house was in perfect condition. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy sitter, and I would gladly book them again.”
“Deanna came through for a last-minute stay, and we couldn't have been happier with everything. She was very communicative and responsive to our needs/schedule. The dogs looked so happy and relaxed in all the photos, which gave me such peace of mind. Thanks again, Deanna!”
About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember. I adopted my baby 5 years ago without knowing how close we would be — she’s my baby girl! She’s an apartment dog, so I’m familiar with making sure indoor dogs still get plenty of exercise, enrichment, and attention. I walk my piggy atleast twice a day and love spending time with her — she’s my bestie girl! She’s a CHEWER, so I love finding her chewies that last and that she loves. She has two moods — couch potato and wild animal — so I can hang with both! :) I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs — I’m willing and able to follow your instructions to help your doggy feel safe and cared for while you’re away. I have experience in caring for allergies and other health needs, so I’m comfortable following medication instructions, keeping up with special routines, and paying attention to changes in their behavior. My baby is also quite reactive with people and other dogs, so I’m comfortable doing whatever is necessary for them to feel safe and secure when we’re out and about — and will follow any specific instructions you give me! Your baby will be treated with the same love and attention I give my own. I’m excited to meet you and your doggy! :) I’m currently building a coffee truck business, so my schedule is pretty flexible! I like to wake up and get my dog moving pretty early in the day, so I’d love to do the same for your baby (or follow any routine they do). :) My biggest priorities for taking care of fur babies are safety, comfort, and routine. I’ll follow the instructions you provide closely, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, and any specific needs or preferences your pet has. I’ll be very attentive to your babies! It’s so important to me that they feel safe and comfortable. I’ll treat your home with the same respect I would my own, keeping things clean and secure, and making sure doors, gates, and other exits are properly closed. I know how important it is to trust someone with both your pet and your home, and I’ll do my best to give you peace of mind and good communication while you’re away!
“Symone is amazing! Flexible, very good with my dog, consistent updates. It was clear he was very happy and relaxed. I'll absolutely book her again and cannot recommend her enough- incredible.”
“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.”

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 !

FAQs for House Sitting - Southlake
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.
