Looking for a Trusted Pet Sitter in Carrollton?
Carrollton is one of those mid-cities communities that quietly offers everything a pet owner could want — established neighborhoods with big backyards, great parks, a walkable downtown district, and a diverse community that takes pride in its city. It’s also uniquely positioned where Dallas, Denton, and Collin counties all meet, which means many pet sitting companies don’t know quite where to draw their coverage lines.
DFW Pet Sitting doesn’t have that problem. We’ve had a dedicated Carrollton branch since 2003, with sitters who live right here. Every pet sitter and dog walker we assign in Carrollton is a W-2 employee of our company, not an independent contractor or gig worker. They’re background-checked, trained, insured, and bonded. And they live in the Carrollton area, usually within 5 miles of your front door.
We’re not an app. We’re not a marketplace. When you book with us, you’ll meet your assigned pet sitter in person before your first service. That person becomes your sitter — the same face every time, someone your pets will recognize and trust.
Our owner and manager are available 24/7 by phone or text. We monitor every single visit through our pet sitting software. If something comes up, we have a full emergency backup protocol with over 200 employees across DFW ready to step in.
Why Carrollton Families Choose DFW Pet Sitting
Unlike apps like Rover or Wag where you’re hiring a stranger with a profile, our Carrollton pet sitters are professionally managed employees. Here’s what that means for you:
Your sitter lives in Carrollton. Our Carrollton branch covers Carrollton, Farmers Branch, Addison, Coppell, and parts of North Dallas and Lewisville. Your sitter isn’t commuting from across the metroplex — they’re right in your neighborhood. Less drive time means more time with your pets.
One person, every time. The pet sitter you meet at your free consultation is the only person who will ever enter your home. No rotating strangers. Your pets get consistency, and you get peace of mind.
We monitor every visit. Our management team tracks every scheduled visit in real time. If a sitter hasn’t checked in, we know within hours — not days. Nothing falls through the cracks.
Real insurance and bonding. Every sitter is covered under our company’s liability insurance and bonding. This isn’t a $1 million “guarantee” from an app — it’s actual commercial coverage.
Emergency backup that works. Life happens. If your sitter has an emergency, we don’t leave you scrambling. Our manager activates our emergency replacement protocol, notifies you immediately, and sends a qualified backup sitter from the area. Our nearby Addison, Farmers Branch, Coppell, and Plano branches are all within minutes for backup.
Pet Sitting Services We Offer in Carrollton
Vacation & Travel Pet Sitting
Whether you’re flying out of DFW Airport or heading off for a weekend getaway, your Carrollton sitter will follow your pets’ exact routine — feeding times, medications, walks, playtime, and all the belly rubs. We handle dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, fish, and small caged animals. No need to board your pets in an unfamiliar kennel.
Daily Dog Walking
Perfect for Carrollton families with puppies, senior dogs, or busy work schedules. Your dog walker commits to a consistent weekly schedule — same person, same times. We’re not “Uber for dog walkers.” Whether you live in Indian Creek, Country Place, the Rosemeade area, or near Downtown Carrollton, your walker is nearby.
Cat Sitting
Cats hate leaving home, and they don’t need to. Our Carrollton cat sitters specialize in feline care, including medication administration, insulin shots, sub-q fluids, and asthma inhalers.
Short-Notice & Holiday Coverage
Because our sitters live locally, we can often accommodate last-minute requests. Holiday availability is managed well in advance to make sure Carrollton families are always covered.
Your Home’s Security Is Our Priority
We take a different approach from most pet sitting companies. Our sitters don’t wear branded uniforms or drive marked vehicles. There are no signs in your yard announcing that you’re away.
Your pet sitter looks like they could be a family member or neighbor stopping by. Nobody in your neighborhood will know you’re traveling. We don’t want to advertise at your expense — we want your house to look like someone is home.
This matters in Carrollton, where homes range from the established neighborhoods of Indian Creek and Country Place to the newer developments near Hebron Parkway and the townhomes around Downtown Carrollton. Whether you’re in Old Carrollton or one of the newer communities, discretion isn’t a perk — it’s standard.

“It’s fun to have the opportunity to hang out with different kinds of cats and dogs. It also makes me happy to know that the clients’ pets are content, safe, and relaxed while being under our care.”
Carrollton’s Best Spots for Pet Owners
Rosemeade Dog Park — One of Carrollton’s best dog parks. Shaded areas, agility courses, and separate sections for large and small dogs. Well-maintained and popular with local pet owners. Our sitters love bringing dogs here for off-leash socialization.
McInnish Sports Complex & Trail — A hidden gem along the Elm Fork of the Trinity River. Over 3 miles of paved trail through wooded areas, plus a large sports complex with open green space. Dogs on leash are welcome and it’s one of the most scenic walks in Carrollton.
Greenbelt Trail System — Carrollton has an extensive network of hike-and-bike trails connecting parks throughout the city. Great for longer dog walks with variety — our dog walkers use different sections depending on the day.
Downtown Carrollton — The historic square area has become increasingly pet-friendly, with restaurants offering outdoor patio seating where dogs are welcome. A great weekend outing with your pup.
Cane Rosso — Excellent Italian food with a pet-friendly outdoor patio. Water bowls, friendly staff, and a relaxed atmosphere. One of our sitters’ favorite post-walk stops with their clients’ dogs.

Do I get to meet my pet sitter before booking?
Absolutely. Every new client gets a free in-person meet-and-greet with their assigned Carrollton pet sitter. You’ll walk through your home together, go over your pets’ routines, show where supplies are kept, and make sure everyone — including your pets — is comfortable.

Our nearby Addison, Farmers Branch, Coppell, and Plano branches provide additional backup. With 200+ employees across DFW, your pets’ care is never interrupted.

Yes. Our sitters are trained to administer oral medications, insulin injections, sub-q fluids, eye drops, and asthma inhalers. We’ll go over the medication routine during your meet-and-greet.
I live on the border of Carrollton and Farmers Branch (or Addison, or Coppell). Does it matter which city I’m technically in?
Not at all. City boundaries don’t affect our service. We match you with the closest sitter to your home regardless of which city you’re technically in. Many of our sitters cover overlapping areas across Carrollton, Farmers Branch, Addison, and Coppell. Just give us your address and we’ll find the best fit.

How is DFW Pet Sitting different from Rover or Wag?
Rover and Wag are marketplace apps where you hire individual freelancers. We’re an established company with W-2 employees, professional management, visit monitoring, emergency backup protocols, and commercial insurance. Your sitter is vetted, trained, and supervised by our team — not just reviewed by strangers on an app.
