“Two words to describe Steph dependable and kind. I booked with Steph about 6 months in advance, she mentioned having experience with animals that have special physical and social needs. She really proved it. She took Max out as often as I asked, every time. She also went a step further and took my energy filled guy on a few walks. She sent me videos/pics as often as we discussed from the beginning. He even played with his toys with her, he never does that!! I also wanted someone who would be home with Max my entire trip away, she kept him company the entire time. Steph was accommodating to the fullest with our schedule and needs. The best part, I arrived home to find Max so calm and joyous (apart from the norm). You could tell his soul was happy and he was the most well taken care of he has ever been!”

“Sarah was so great with my 3 dogs and 1 cat, got all their feedings right, let them sleep with her (I think it stormed that night), and even left a gallery of Polaroids of all of them. Also, we like the same books so we can swap.Bonus!”

About: I have taken care of dogs for the past 5 years, including a chihuahua of my own and my family’s dogs. I have experience raising puppies and caring for senior dogs as well. Even though every dog is different, I am able to provide adequate care and attention to every fur baby that I have the privilege of looking after. I am currently a student and have plenty of down time when I am not at school. This includes Fridays and Weekends and I can be pretty flexible with time! I keep frequent communication with pet owners, I’m able to accommodate to a dog needs, and am pretty knowledgeable about dog behavior to know their needs.

About: From the age of 12, I've been taking care of pets. My passion for providing pets with the utmost care and attention has grown over the years. Through my experience, I have not only developed a strong sense of compassion for all animals, but I have also developed the ability to handle any situation. I have a trio of furry friends, but what sets them apart is that I've taken it upon myself to raise, train, and deliver two of them. The third one was a gift, but they've all become an integral part of my life. Rest assured that your beloved pet will be treated with the same love and care that I give to my furry friends. You can trust me to provide your pet with the attention and affection they deserve. As an independent worker, I have the flexibility to be there for you and your furry friends whenever you need me. Count on me to provide reliable and attentive care for your pets. As such, please book accordingly so that I may be able to give your babies the attention and care they deserve. At the moment, I don't provide in-home pet services. However, I'm committed to adhering to all safety guidelines to guarantee your furry friend's well-being and an enjoyable experience.

“Cam was fantastic with Cookie and Bizzy! She was communicative, attentive, and followed instructions perfectly. She handled all the usual cat antics with patience and humor, and it was clear she genuinely cared about their comfort and wellbeing. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands and would absolutely book her again.”

“Honestly, I’m almost annoyed that I have to leave such a good review because now everyone is going to know how amazing she is, and I’d really prefer to keep her all to myself. She was absolutely wonderful with all of our animals. She was incredibly reliable, communicative, and easy to work with from start to finish. She sent us lots of photos and updates, and she always let us know right away if something unexpected happened or something broke. That kind of communication made it so much easier to relax while we were away. She also tidied the house up upon our return, which was very considerate after a long trip. She followed all of our instructions perfectly, was so easy to talk to and plan with, and clearly genuinely loves animals. And the biggest endorsement of all: our animals absolutely adored her. They were happy and comfortable when we got home, which is everything I could ask for in a sitter. I will 100% book her again.”

About: I provide pet-sitting in your own home, and can also do dog walking. Pet-sitting can include bathing and light grooming. I am comfortable with all ages and breeds of dogs, and have experience with a full range of each. I am experienced with many types of behaviors within dogs, and can offer basic training as needed. I have a passion for animals! I have grown up with many different types animals; dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, fish, and lizards. I’ve also have had lots of experience with farm animals such as horses, goats, pigs, chickens, and ducks. I have been professionally pet-sitting since I was a teenager, and have been on Rover for the last 5+ years. I love all of the sweet pets I’ve been able to work with! My current availability is mornings and evenings M-F, and all day weekends. My schedule does get filled quickly, but if given enough notice I should have flexibility! I work full-time, but I still have times during the week that I devote to my pets and yours. I make sure that each animal tended gets adequate exercise, attention, and even training as needed. I currently don’t offer in-house boarding at this time, but I often do house visits and dog walking. I have lots of experience and devote a lot of time ensuring that each person I work with is comfortable and feels safe with me in their home and/or with their pets. I have a set system that also ensures the safety of information such as addresses, keys, etc. so that it will never become a concern. I also take LOTS of photos and videos each time I visit, so that each client I work with can guarantee I do everything correctly and am being as safe as I can with their fur-babies:)

My mother own many cats and dogs as well During weekdays I work at a catering company,with the latest I've worked being just four pm,and I'm usually off weekends and can care for your adorable pets anytime on weekends or anytime after four pm on weekdays I've learned dogs and cats need slow gentle words and actions when introducing oneself to them,then when they warm up to you,it makes it easier to care for them.

About: I currently have two cats so I have lots of experience with cats. I also have experience watching dogs, big or small. I’ve watched dogs on an off again for my friends and neighbors. I am very good an when it comes to strict schedules. I have experience giving medication as well. I would love to have the chance to care for you loved pets and give them just as much love as you have. I do work night shift of the weekends but I am free on weekdays all day. And I can also come during the day on weekends a couple times before I go into work. Due to me having cats at my home I will not be offering at home services because I do not want to stress your animal out as well as mine.

About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life and have taken care of everything from great pyrenees to Shih Tzu’s and even sugar gliders. I know how to take care of puppies and seniors, how to give medication, and how to do basic emergency care like the Heimlich. I am a college student and have a couple labs/classes but I am typically free all weekends and Tuesdays. I can also stay when I am not in class. Other than that I am free to take care of all animals and make sure they are not lonely while you are away! In my home I have two cats. I rescued one as a kitten and have another older cat that came to me with asthma. Because of this I know how to administer medicine. I also grew up with dogs in my house as their primary caregiver and frequently visited my grandmothers farm. I have experience pet sitting and love every animal.

About: I’ve been around cats and dogs my entire life and have always enjoyed caring for animals. I regularly pet sit my friend Josh’s three cats when he’s away, making sure they’re fed, comfortable, and receiving plenty of attention. I also frequently care for my girlfriend’s dog, so I’m experienced with the day-to-day responsibilities that come with caring for dogs. Growing up with multiple cats and dogs has taught me how important patience, consistency, and attention to each pet’s individual personality can be. I understand that every animal has different routines and comfort levels, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe and relaxed. When your pet is in my care, my priority is providing a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment where they can feel at home. I’ll treat your pet with the same care and attention I would want for my own. I’m trying to make Rover my main job. So my schedule is pretty open at all times! Besides Rover. I produce music for clients. I will follow your instructions while in your home! Make sure they are fed properly and taken out on time! In my home, I try to mirror how you prefer things done in your home! I can crate them if needed.

FAQs for House Sitting - Tarrant

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of September 2026, there are 583 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Tarrant. 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 Tarrant 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 Tarrant 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 Tarrant 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 Tarrant. On Rover:

  • 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.
