“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.”
“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.”
“Chaselyn was WONDERFUL! We unexpectedly needed a sitter within only a days notice. Chaselyn worked around our insanely busy Sunday schedule to come do a meet and greet with our puppers before coming later in the day to spend the night with them 🤍 She sent photos and videos, made sure the pups got good play time and loves, and kept our minds at ease while we were gone. We will DEFINITELY be rebooking with her!!”
“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!”
“Claudia was amazing, she did more than she had to , she was supposed to take care of Picasso at my place and I had a family loss and she was able to take him with her to her place so I could do my emergency travel. I have no words to express all she did I will be forever grateful!”
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.
“Jose was so great! He took great care of our fur babies while we were out of town. He house sat for us and was very clean and followed all instructions on taking care of our babies. We have him booked again and know 100% we can trust him and will be booking him anytime we go out of town if he’s available 😊”
“Chanel stayed at our house and watched our two senior dogs for 10 days. She was wonderful with keeping them on their schedule and giving them their medications. She sent photos and updates frequently which I really appreciated. The dogs loved her and I think it was the most relaxed we have been leaving them with someone else while we went out of town. Our home was also well taken care of while we were gone. Thank you Chanel!”
About: I’ve had experience with caring for animals of all types such as horses, lizards and rodents. I have extensive experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, including those with extra needs such as puppy training, special diets, senior needs and medications. I’m currently working as a barista with flexible shifts, so I am available some mornings and also some afternoons/evenings. With a little notice I can work with whatever your needs are! I’m dedicated to caring for your pets in whatever way they are most comfortable and safe. I’ll care for your pets as if they were my own!
“We have used Theresa multiple times and already have her booked for two more future dates. She keeps our fur baby’s routine and it is clear she loves animals. We will continue using her and would highly recommend her!!”
“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”
“Aundrea was seriously incredible with our baby girl. Came back to a clean house and a pup that was loved on while we were away. It really makes a difference to “feel good” about leaving when you have someone like Aundrea to take care of your pup and home ☺️🥰❤️”
About: Growing up surrounded by animals means caring for pets isn't just a service I offer—it's second nature. As a lifelong pet owner, I’ve spent years sharing my home with dogs, cats, and small animals, learning firsthand the unique quirks, routines, and personalities that make each animal special. That lifelong experience naturally led me into pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors. Over the years, I’ve handled everything from high-energy puppies who need endless game-time to senior pets who require extra patience, gentle handling, and strict medication schedules. Im currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! Im available for boarding in your home weekends and holidays and weekdays after 12pm. Caring for my own 2 Labador Retrievers daily gives me deep, practical experience in keeping high-energy, affectionate dogs happy, healthy, and structured. I bring that exact same standard of care directly into your home when watching your pets. Here is how I care for my Labs and bring that expertise to your home: Structure & Exercise: My Retrievers thrive on consistent daily walks, active fetch sessions, and mental stimulation like puzzle toys. I adapt this energy outlet to your dog’s specific age, breed, and fitness level. Mealtime & Health Routines: With my own dogs, strict feeding schedules, weight monitoring, and coat care are second nature. I follow your home’s exact feeding, dietary, and medication instructions down to the letter. Positive Energy & Safety: Labs are famously friendly but require strong leash skills and reliable impulse control. I use gentle, structured reinforcement to ensure safe walks and calm house manners. In-Home Comfort & Peace of Mind: Caring for dogs in their home environment minimizes stress. I keep your pets content in their familiar routines while keeping your home secure, clean, and well-maintained. Whether it is keeping up with a high-energy Retriever or giving gentle attention to a quiet senior dog, I treat every client's home and pet with the same love, vigilance, and dedication I give my own.
About: Hi my name is Laurel, but I go by my middle name Paige. In my home I have 2 dogs, 1 turtle and 1 fish. I have been a dog mom since I was in the 2nd grade and my parents surprised me with a miniature poodle for Christmas. Since then, there hasn't been a time I didn't hear the pitter-patter of four little paws, or more, in my home. One of the best feelings is coming home and being greeted with a wagging tail and lots of kisses. No matter how bad a day is, love from a dog will warm your heart and our love to them warms theirs as well. I don't view dogs as pets, they're part of the family. They need love, attention and lots of hugs. When you're drawn away from your home whether it be work, vacation or a family emergency it's good to have someone you know will love on your babies until you're home. Will they miss you? Absolutely! Will they still get love and attention during your absence? Absolutely! You can't always be home, but you can always have someone you trust to treat your fur babies as their own. I work full-time in a hospital 7a-3:30p M-F. I am able to come by before work if needed and of course after I get off. I am also able to stay overnight in your home, if you so choose. I am available all day on Saturdays and Sundays. I am a dependable, trustworthy, clean, and nonsmoker dog-loving girl. I will treat your fur babies as my own, following the guidelines you set. I will treat your home with respect whether I am there for a few hours or overnight. I will make sure I have your veterinarian's information as well as your information should any emergency arise.
“Kathleen is a gem!! She stayed at our home for 10 nights with our 2 dogs. She sent pictures each morning and asked questions when she had any. Our home was in tip top shape when we returned and all instructions were followed perfectly. And most importantly our doggies were super happy and relaxed. I think they miss her ❤️ We’ll happily use her again!”
“Destiny was fantastic with Sevey. She was very attentive, responsive with his walks and photos. Could not be happier with the service she provided. Would 100% recommend and use her again to watch my boy.”
“Belen was wonderful with my boys during her overnight stay this past weekend! She was incredibly attentive and kept me updated frequently, checking in about their meals, Chevy’s medications, walks, and even their bedtime routine. Those little details gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were being cared for exactly how I would care for them. She was also very punctual, respectful of my home, and left everything clean and tidy. It can be nerve-racking trusting someone new with both your pups and your home, but Belen made the entire experience easy and reassuring. I would absolutely trust her with Chevy and Mylo again and highly recommend her! 🐾❤️”

Bree was wonderful to work with while we were out of town. She took fantastic care of our dogs and followed their daily schedules and routines to the letter. It gave us complete peace of mind knowing the house and the pups were in such attentive, reliable hands. We would gladly have her back and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet and house sitter!
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.
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 !

The average cost of House Sitting in Southlake is $50 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $134 per night.

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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Southlake. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
