Nearby Argyle, Northlake, Roanoke, and Keller have their own pages. Sitters already know those country roads, gates, and acreage layouts.

Looking for a Trusted Pet Sitter in Justin?
Justin is a small northwest Denton County town that’s growing fast — new neighborhoods going up alongside the ranches and rural properties that have defined this area for generations. It’s the kind of place where your nearest neighbor might be a quarter mile away and your dogs have room to run. But when you need to leave town, finding a reliable pet sitter this far from the center of the metroplex can be a real challenge.
Most app-based pet sitting services have almost zero coverage in Justin. The gig workers tend to cluster in the bigger suburbs. That’s exactly why DFW Pet Sitting has maintained a presence in the Justin area since 2003. We specifically recruit sitters who live out here.
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 Justin area, usually within 5 miles of your home.
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. Phones are answered 6:00am–11:00pm Central. If something comes up, we have a full emergency backup protocol with 250+ employees across DFW ready to step in.
Why Justin Families Choose DFW Pet Sitting
Unlike apps like Rover or Wag — which have almost no sitter availability in Justin — our pet sitters are professionally managed employees who actually live in the area. Here’s what that means for you:
Your sitter lives near Justin. Our Justin coverage includes Justin (76247), Old Town Justin, Reatta, and the acreage along FM 156 and FM 407. We also serve nearby Argyle, Northlake, Roanoke, Trophy Club, and parts of north Fort Worth and south Denton — those towns have their own pages rather than neighborhood lists dumped here. Your sitter lives in the community, not 30 minutes away. 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. Nearby Argyle, Roanoke, Trophy Club, and Denton sitters provide additional backup coverage. With 250+ employees across DFW, your pets’ care is never interrupted.
Pet Sitting Services We Offer in Justin
Vacation & Travel Pet Sitting — Whether you’re heading to DFW Airport or taking a road trip, your Justin 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 a kennel miles away.
Daily Dog Walking — Perfect for Justin families with puppies, senior dogs, or busy work schedules. Your dog walker commits to a consistent weekly schedule — same person, same times. Whether you live in one of the newer neighborhoods along FM 156, on a ranch property, in Old Town Justin or Reatta, or near Harvest, your walker is nearby. Visits are 25 minutes. Northwest Community Park and the quiet country roads are the usual leashed loops.
Cat Sitting — Cats hate leaving home, and they don’t need to. Our Justin cat sitters specialize in feline care, including medication administration, insulin shots, sub-q fluids, and asthma inhalers. See how a 25-minute Justin cat visit works.
Multi-Pet & Large Property Coverage — Many Justin homes sit on acreage with multiple animals — dogs, cats, chickens, goats, horses. Our sitters are comfortable with rural and semi-rural properties and can handle multi-pet households. Tell us your setup during the meet-and-greet and we’ll customize the service.
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 Justin families are always covered. Thanksgiving and Christmas fill first. Call if you already have travel dates.
House Sitting & Home Checks — Mail, porch packages, lights, bins, plants, and a walk-through. Most Justin clients add this onto pet visits rather than booking it alone — especially on acreage along FM 156 where an empty house is obvious from the road.
What Makes Us Different From Rover and Wag
Justin gate codes, barns, and mixed-species households this far from the center of the metroplex are not a job for a stranger with a profile. You are hiring a managed W-2 employee of a company that has sat pets here since 2003. Side by side:
| Rover / Wag | DFW Pet Sitting | |
|---|---|---|
| Who enters your home | A different contractor each time you book | One assigned sitter — the same person, every visit |
| Who they work for | Independent gig contractor | W-2 employee: background-checked, trained, supervised |
| If something goes wrong | Platform “guarantee” with exclusions | Commercial liability insurance and bonding |
| If your sitter cancels | You re-book and hope | Manager activates backup from 250+ DFW staff |
| Oversight | Nothing between you and the sitter | Every visit tracked by a manager in real time |
| Before your first visit | Optional chat, often skipped | Free in-person meet-and-greet, always |
Cat sitting in Justin
Cats hate leaving home, and they don’t need to. Our Justin cat sitters specialize in feline care, including medication administration, insulin shots, sub-q fluids, and asthma inhalers. A visit is 25 minutes: fresh water, food the way you portion it, a scooped box, play, and a look at how your cat is actually doing. You get a photo.
Sitters handle pills, insulin, sub-q fluids, eye drops, and inhalers. If a cat hides in an Old Town Justin house, a Reatta spare bedroom, or a barn off FM 156 they have never fully mapped, they sit on the floor and wait. They do not leave without seeing the cat.
Once a day is the minimum for a healthy adult. Kittens, seniors, and medical cats need two. We will not leave a pile of food and a full box over a long holiday weekend.
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 announcing that you’re away.
Your pet sitter looks like they could be a family member or neighbor stopping by. Nobody will know you’re traveling. We don’t want to advertise at your expense — we want your property to look like someone is there.
This is especially important in Justin, where many properties are on larger lots with more distance between neighbors. Whether you’re on a ranch along FM 156, in Old Town Justin or Reatta, in one of the newer developments near Harvest, or in the rural properties between Justin and Northlake, having a reliable person checking on things regularly gives you real peace of mind. Discretion isn’t a perk — it’s standard.
Meet our sitters
You meet your assigned Justin-area sitter in your home before the first paid visit. They are a W-2 employee, not a rotating contractor. Ashley and Laura in the office handle scheduling. A manager is on call 24/7 if a visit needs a backup sitter from our 250+ staff. No photos on this page — you meet them in person.
Our Justin sitters work only within a 5-mile radius of where they live, covering Old Town Justin, Reatta, FM 156, FM 407, and nearby acreage. The person you meet is the only person entering your home.
What clients say
Justin families review us on the same Google listing as the rest of DFW — 4.9 stars from 500+ reviews. That is the company listing, not a Justin storefront. We do not have a Justin office. Read the reviews, then meet your sitter in person.

Justin’s Best Spots for Pet Owners
Justin’s rural character and proximity to open land make it a dream for pet owners who love the outdoors. Here are the spots our sitters recommend:
Northwest Community Park — Justin’s main community park with walking paths, open green space, and room for your dog to stretch. A neighborhood gathering spot that’s clean and well-maintained.
Old Town Justin — The historic stretch along FM 156. Quiet sidewalks, the railroad, and a small-town loop that suits a leashed walk more than a packed suburban dog park.
Reatta — One of Justin’s residential neighborhoods sitters already know. Sidewalks and cul-de-sacs for the daily walk when acreage isn’t the setup.
Open Country Roads — Honestly, one of the best things about Justin for dog walkers is the quiet rural roads and open land. Many of our clients’ dogs get their daily exercise on neighborhood roads and property land rather than at formal parks — and that’s part of the charm. FM 156 and FM 407 are the spines of town; the side roads off them are where the ranches sit.
North Lakes Park (Denton) — A short drive north into Denton, this park has walking trails around a lake, open fields, and a peaceful setting. Dogs on leash are welcome. Great for a weekend adventure with your pup.
Harvest by Hillwood is next door in the Argyle / Northlake area — trail notes live on our Argyle page rather than here. We also regularly serve nearby Argyle, Northlake, Roanoke, Trophy Club, Keller, and Denton. Call and we’ll match you with the closest sitter regardless of the city line.
Ready to meet your Justin pet sitter in person? The in-home consultation is free, there is no obligation, and you will know exactly who is caring for your pets before you ever book a visit.
Frequently Asked Questions About Pet Sitting in Justin
How much does pet sitting cost in Justin?
A standard drop-in visit is $25 for 25 minutes, one pet. Extra pet is $3. Dog walking plans start at $23. We’re transparent about pricing — unlike apps that add service fees on top, our price is your price. See the rates page or call (214) 574-7387.
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 Justin pet sitter. You’ll walk through your property together, go over your pets’ routines, show where supplies are kept, and make sure everyone — including your pets — is comfortable.
Do you have a Justin office I can walk into?
No. Justin is a city we serve, not a storefront. There is no Justin street address, no lobby, and no map pin for a branch. Your assigned sitter comes to your home in Old Town Justin, Reatta, along FM 156 or FM 407, or wherever you live in 76247. Phones are answered 6:00am–11:00pm Central. A manager is on call 24/7 if a visit needs backup.
Are your Justin 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. Nearby Argyle, Roanoke, Trophy Club, and Denton sitters provide additional backup. With 250+ 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.
I have a large property with multiple pets including farm animals. Can you handle that?
Yes. Many of our Justin clients have acreage with dogs, cats, chickens, goats, and sometimes horses. Our sitters are comfortable with rural properties and multi-species households. During your meet-and-greet, we’ll walk through every animal’s needs and every area of your property so nothing is missed.
Do apps like Rover even have sitters in Justin?
That’s a common problem out here. Gig apps have almost no coverage in Justin, Northlake, and the rural areas of northwest Denton County because their freelancers cluster in the bigger suburbs. DFW Pet Sitting specifically recruits sitters who live in these communities — that’s why we’ve had reliable Justin coverage since 2003.
Do you offer overnight pet sitting in Justin?
We offer extended visits and can customize a schedule that works for your pets’ needs. Call (214) 574-7387 or 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.
