Looking for a Trusted Pet Sitter in Highland Village?
Highland Village is a small city with a big personality — top-rated schools, safe streets, Lewisville Lake access, and a community where families know each other by name. It consistently ranks as one of the safest and most desirable cities in Texas. Pet owners here expect the same quality in their pet care that they expect from everything else in Highland Village.
DFW Pet Sitting has been caring for Highland Village pets since 2003. Every pet sitter and dog walker we assign 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 Highland Village 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 Highland Village Families Choose DFW Pet Sitting
Unlike apps like Rover or Wag where you’re hiring a stranger with a profile, our Highland Village pet sitters are professionally managed employees. Here’s what that means for you:
Your sitter lives near Highland Village. Our Highland Village branch covers Highland Village, Flower Mound, Lewisville, Lantana, Double Oak, and Lake Dallas. Your sitter isn’t commuting from Dallas or Plano — they’re right in your community. 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. Our nearby Flower Mound, Lewisville, Lantana, and Corinth branches provide additional backup coverage.
Pet Sitting Services We Offer in Highland Village
Vacation & Travel Pet Sitting
Whether you’re heading to DFW Airport or taking a weekend trip, your Highland Village 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 Highland Village 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 The Shores, Brazos Crossing, or the neighborhoods along Highland Village Road, your walker is nearby — and the trail system here is incredible for walking routes.
Cat Sitting
Cats hate leaving home, and they don’t need to. Our Highland Village 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 Highland Village 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 Highland Village, where homes are in well-kept neighborhoods like The Shores, Brazos Crossing, Highland Meadows, and the lakeside properties near Lewisville Lake. Highland Village is a community where people notice things — and a discreet, familiar presence at your home is exactly what you want while you’re away. Discretion isn’t a perk — it’s standard.
Highland Village’s Best Spots for Pet Owners
Highland Village’s combination of lakeside access, wooded trails, and manicured parks makes it one of the best small cities in DFW for pet owners. Here are the spots our sitters recommend:
Copperas Branch Park
Highland Village’s most popular park. Walking trails through wooded areas, open fields, sports facilities, and a playground. Dogs on leash are welcome on the trails. A go-to for our daily dog walking clients.
Doubletree Ranch Park
A beautiful community park with walking paths, a fishing pond, and picnic areas. Peaceful and well-maintained — great for a calm afternoon walk with your dog.
Pilot Knoll Park
Located on the shores of Lewisville Lake, this park offers lake access, trails, and camping areas. Dogs on leash are welcome. One of the best spots in the area for an adventure walk with water access for dogs who love to splash.
Highland Village Trails
The city maintains a connected trail system running through neighborhoods and parks. Our walkers love these trails because they can create varied routes that keep dogs stimulated and exercised without driving anywhere.
The Shops at Highland Village
While primarily a shopping center, several restaurants here offer pet-friendly outdoor patios. A nice weekend outing for a leashed walk and lunch with your dog.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pet Sitting in Highland Village
How much does pet sitting cost in Highland Village?
Our rates depend on the type and length of service. A standard drop-in visit for pet sitting starts at a competitive rate, and dog walking is available at a weekly discount. We’re transparent about pricing — visit our rates page or call us for a free quote. Unlike apps that add service fees on top, our price is your price.
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 Highland Village 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.
Are your Highland Village pet sitters background-checked?
Yes. Every employee undergoes a thorough background check before they’re hired. They’re also bonded and covered under our company’s commercial liability insurance. We don’t use independent contractors.
What happens if my pet sitter has an emergency?
We have a documented emergency replacement protocol. Our manager is notified immediately, contacts you, and assigns a qualified backup sitter. Our nearby Flower Mound, Lewisville, Lantana, and Corinth branches provide additional backup. With 200+ employees across DFW, your pets’ care is never interrupted.
Can you give my pet medication?
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.
Highland Village is a small city. Do you actually have sitters here?
Yes. Highland Village’s size is exactly why we maintain a dedicated branch here — so we always have local coverage. Our sitters live in Highland Village and the immediately surrounding communities. You’ll never be assigned someone commuting from 30 minutes away.
My kids walk to school and we have a predictable neighborhood routine. Will your sitter keep things looking normal?
Absolutely. Many of our Highland Village clients want their home to maintain its normal appearance while they’re away. Your sitter will follow your instructions — bringing in mail, picking up packages, adjusting lights, and keeping the house looking lived-in. In a community where routines are visible, this matters.
Do you offer overnight pet sitting in Highland Village?
We offer extended visits and can customize a schedule that works for your pets’ needs. Contact us to discuss overnight options for your specific situation.
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.
