“Faith did a great job taking care of Pear and the house. Pear was well cared for, and everything was in good shape when we returned. I reached out a couple of times for updates, and she responded promptly. Overall, we appreciated her care and would happily consider working with her again!”
“Courtney was great! We felt very comfortable being away knowing that our pets were getting so much love and attention. We had clear and frequent communications and a plenty of pictures confirming all the good things happening. We'd (and our critters) would be very happy to see Courtney again.”
“Lena did a GREAT job taking care of our two Labradors, one cat, and home while we were out of town for a week. She was awesome at communicating and made it a point to send pictures which we really appreciated. Highly recommend her!!! And will definitely reach out to her again the next time we are out of town! Thank you Lena!”
“Owen was fantastic. Not only was he responsive but the dogs were well taken care of. They were walked, fed, played with, and given a lot of love. While he was watching the pups he also kept the house clean. I got daily pictures ands updates which helped to put my mind at ease about my pups while I was on vacation. I will use Owen again”
About: I grew up with many pets. For example, I’ve had 6 birds, 3 hamsters, 1 dwarf gerbil, 1 leopard gecko, 2 cats, 2 dogs, and possibly more. I currently have 2 dogs. Both are rescues. Jasper is 2 years old and I’ve had him since he was about a month old if even that, and Raleigh who is 7 now. I’ve had her since she was 2. Aside from the doggy babies, I also currently have a brown anole that I took in from Florida. His name is Tommy and I’ve had him for 4 months now. He was a baby when I found him. I also have 2 fish, Gumball and Penny. I personally believe all animals are babies. I’ve also pet sit for family members before. I’m currently working part time and I am also a freshman in College. I do have a good bit of free time, and because I don’t live alone I have people home to help take care of my furry and scaled friends, where as some people may need some extra help that I’d be able to provide! I was raised right. I’m respectful, do not cross boundaries, and know better than to disrespect clients (human and animal, of course!) I’m a big empath, I love animals beyond comprehension. I’m a vegetarian that’s working my way to veganism if that can show you how empathetic I am. I also cry while watching Ratatouille. I love walking, I love talking to animals, I treat animals as if they are literal babies because they are just too cute!
“Bri was punctual and very communicative! She was kind and caring to my entire zoo, and was great with both my timid puppy and my difficult diabetic dog. I've been through a dozen Rover pet sitters but Bri is the first one I trust to take care of my pets the way I would. I'll definitely be requesting Bri again!”
“Anh was amazing with Pico. She jumped in last minute and handled everything so thoughtfully - including some unexpected tummy issues and his occasional puppy chaos. She kept me fully updated the whole time and sent lots of great photos, which I really appreciated. It made such a difference being able to see how he was doing. Pico is used to being with me all the time, so social interaction is really important for him. Anh adjusted to Pico’s needs and routine and also made him part of hers - giving him so much extra love and attention. You can’t always guarantee that level of care when you’re away, and I’m so grateful I never had to worry. I would absolutely recommend Anh to anyone without hesitation!”
About: With 15 years of dedicated pet care under my belt, I've honed a deep understanding of both canine and feline needs. From playful puppies to senior sweethearts—and from curious kittens to laid-back lap cats—I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all breeds, ages, and personalities. As a dog and cat owner myself, I’ve also supported a pup with aggression issues through his stressful times, giving me valuable experience in patience, awareness, and calm handling. My background includes administering medications, maintaining clean and comfortable litter boxes, and providing specialized care to ensure every pet feels safe, loved, and understood. Trust me to bring expertise and genuine affection to every walk, cuddle, and visit with your furry family members. Pet care seamlessly fits into my daily routine, with availability after my 8-4 job Monday through Friday, and all day on weekends. I'm dedicated to providing consistent, reliable care that complements your schedule and ensures your pets are happy and well-looked after. When caring for pets in their home, I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment. I follow your specific instructions for feeding, medication, and exercise, ensuring consistency with their regular routine. I also provide plenty of love, attention, and playtime, maintaining open communication with you to keep you updated on your pet's well-being.
“We had a great experience with Alexxis. Our dogs absolutely loved her — it was clear they were comfortable and well cared for the entire time. She was communicative, kind, and made sure to keep us updated with photos. On top of that, we came home to a spotless house, which we really appreciated. It made the whole experience stress-free. Highly recommend and would definitely book with her again!”
About: Hello! My name is Kaira! I’m currently a full time Veterinary assistant with over 6 years of veterinary experience and over 9 years of pet care experience. I have a 7 year old Pomeranian named Stitch who is my world so I understand that our pets play an important role in our lives. I’m currently working Monday- Friday with weekends free, however, my schedule can be flexible so I can potentially make some changes is needed to suit your pets care. I currently offer house visits/stays, drop ins and walks. I have a 7yo Pomeranian named Stitch who gets along with both cats and dogs. Stitch usually travels with me to work, but if your pet is not fond of other animals then I can make arrangements for him.
“Bryan was a wonderful guest and communicator! His flexibility was much appreciated when we had a medical emergency with our youngest that required some last minute schedule changes. We will definitely be using him again!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Deale
We feel so incredibly lucky to have Jennifer to look after our puppies. She took such great care of them. They are older and have some health issues and I fully trusted her to treat them as her own. She was attentive and very responsive, sharing photos and updates often. I could not be happier and would highly recommend her!
We had the absolute pleasure of having Jennifer stay in our home and care for our animals while we were away, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the very beginning, she was communicative, responsible, and clearly very experienced with both pet care and house sitting. Our animals immediately warmed up to Jennifer, and it was clear that she treated them like family. We received regular updates, including photos and messages, which gave us complete peace of mind. When we returned, our home was spotless, the plants were healthy, the mail was collected and our animals were relaxed and happy — always a sign they were well cared for. We truly appreciated Jennifer’s attention to detail, reliability, and warm personality. We wouldn’t hesitate to welcome her back into our home, and highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter. Thank you again, Jennifer!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 8,207 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Deale. 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 Deale 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 Deale 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 Deale 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 Deale. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 97% 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.
