“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.”
“Bregayle is wonderful. She house sitted my 3 year old Sheppard mix. She consistently sent updates and photos, which I really appreciated and I came home to a very happy pup. I will definitely book Bregayle again!”
“Theresa was an excellent house/dog sitter who works remotely and thus was at our home much of the time. Communication was excellent. We will definitely hire her again.”
“Kaylan was awesome! She communicated right from the meet and greet to the actual weekend when she watched my two pups! One of my pups has severe anxiety and Kaylan was very patient with her. She provided me ample pictures and kept updating me throughout the weekend. She left my home tidy and my pups were relaxed when I got back home! She even got my anxious dog to cuddle with her on the couch! Great sitter! Great every! Definitely recommend to other pet parents!”
“Tyler was amazing. He took great care of the pups and helped let a few contractors in the house due to some water damage that occurred before my travel. Highly recommend Tyler - great communication, true animal lover, and just a really good guy! Thank you, sir!”
“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!!”
“Sherice did a fantastic job looking after our fur babies. Our pups are very spoiled and I could tell from the daily updates and pictures that they felt very comfortable and happy. Thank you for everything!”
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.
“Mikayla did an amazing job taking care of Mozart for us. He has separation issues and anxiety. She made him feel comfortable, and he warmed up to her quickly. She was great at communicating and sending pictures. She made my time away more enjoyable knowing he was comfortable and being well taken care of. Mikayla stayed at our house with him and the house looked the same as when I left. I look forward to having her watch him again!”
About: I have lived with pets my entire life. Ranging from German Shepards to Pomeranians, pets have always been a part of my family. I have done dog walking/pet sitting for friends and family most of my life, but I have started doing so professionally and it's been such a rewarding experience! :). I am currently working a full-time job Monday-Friday, so I am always available early mornings, during lunch, late afternoon/evenings and weekends. I am also available on holidays all year long. For clients’ homes, I follow their routines closely to provide consistency. I stick to feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any special instructions. I also prioritize safety by keeping the environment secure and comfortable. I provide regular updates with photos and messages to keep owners informed and at ease while they’re away!
“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.”
“Claudia is awesome! She was very communicative and responds quickly to a message or phone call. I would most definitely like to watch Bella again. Thank you Claudia.”
“Leticia went above and beyond during her stay with Oxford and Nellie. We had to leave town unexpectedly and she was so prompt in her response and willingness to come over for a walk through before we left town. Our dogs were well cared for as well as our home. I will be re-booking again!”
“Rachel took such great care of my dogs. She was very informative and helpful throughout the entire process. My dogs acted like they knew her the moment they met her. They were very comfortable with her and I felt at ease knowing that they were so happy while I was away. I will definitely reach out to Rachel again in the near future for help with my fur babies.”
“Svenja was so good with my boy! She took care of him and loved him like I would and I could tell when I came home that he had been very comfortable and happy in her care 😊”
About: My name is Haylee. I have had a love for animals all my life, ever since I got my first cat when I was six. I have pet-sitted and owned many pets over the years and I appreciate them all so much. I have experience with cats, dogs, rabbits, birds, and reptiles. I am currently in long distance college classes, so I am able to come visit during the day. I am freely available to visit during work hours and take care of your pet. I care for the pet in the way laid out in your instructions! Making sure they walk and get their medicine and play as needed. I don't feed or give any snacks not expressly allowed by the owner!
About: I have experience taking care of a dog with dementia (my own pet), puppies, I currently help take care of a 14 year-old lab with cancer so I understand love and compassion but above all the work that it takes to make sure a dog is comfortable and as happy as possible. I will currently be available full-time for the care of your pet. I will be available during the week and weekends and will be able to take care of your pet. Should you need to go on a business trip or should you go on a much-needed vacation? I have a fenced yard with two friendly dogs and will be more than happy to have check-in’s with camera so pet parents are comfortable about where their pet is staying.
“We’ve never left our dogs with anyone but Dani and Justin made us feel so comfortable! They are great at communicating, providing updates, and even had the house spotless when we returned! I will definitely be rebooking!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Southlake
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.

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!
Jess was amazing staying in my home for 7 days with my dog, ensuring she was taken care of. I enjoyed the videos she would send me of them playing (or sleeping), and the couple of times we actually spent on FaceTime. I was super nervous leaving for a week with someone staying in my home with my 'baby girl' but Jess reassured me through the entire time and I am happy to be back home with no issues. It was like I never left.
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!

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 July 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 July 2026, there are 5,393 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.

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.
