“We are so grateful for the care our home and dog received during the five days we were away. Lauren was responsible, thoughtful, and treated Grace with genuine love. We came home to a happy pup and a clean house, which tells you everything about the level of care she provides. Communication was great and we always felt at ease knowing everything was in good hands. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and reliable sitter.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old. Neighbors, friends, and family. I absolutely love dogs. I take them for long walks and love to play fetch or relax on the couch with them! I can stay with dogs overnight and let them out during my lunch break and right after work! I currently work 9-3 and will give the dogs lots of attention before and after work! I am open to anything the pet owner needs - gate/leaving the dog to roam around inside the house. I am only open to staying at the owners house, not mine!
“Kimberly was great with my 3 dogs. She walked my larger, younger dogs and connected with my elderly, small dog. All were happy! Additionally, she brought down the garbage cans after pickup and the house was immaculate! Great experience!”
“Kim did a great job taking care of my dog, cat, and house while I was away. She was responsible, attentive, and clearly cared for my pets as if they were her own. I came home to happy, well-cared-for animals. I highly recommend Kim to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet and house sitter!”
About: I've been around dogs my entire life and have always loved caring for them. I currently live with my parents, where we have two family dogs, an Australian Kelpie and a Border Collie/Lab mix. So I'm very comfortable with energetic dogs and understand the importance of exercise, routine, and positive attention. Since graduating high school five years ago, I've regularly dog sat for friends and family, caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. Whether it's going for walks, stopping by for drop-in visits, or keeping your pup company while you're away, I'll make sure they receive the same love, care, and attention I'd want for my own dogs. I currently work four days a week, so I'm available for pet care on Thursdays, Fridays, and Sundays. On the days I work, I don't start until 1:00 PM, which means I'm also available for morning walks and drop-in visits before work. I do my best to be flexible and communicate clearly, so you can count on dependable care that fits your pet's routine! At this time, I only offer care in my clients' homes, where I believe pets are happiest and most comfortable in their familiar environment. I take the time to follow each owner's care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any other routines that help your pet feel safe and secure.
“Kate gave our two dogs lots of love and attention during her time with them over an extended weekend! She made sure they had plenty of walks and kept us updated with lots of pictures!! We especially loved that they could just stay at home so there was no anxiety of a new environment. Would definitely rebook her again for any future dog sitting!”
About: Hello! My name is Noelle and I am an experienced sitter. I have had many animal companions my whole life including reactive dogs, small/medium/large dogs. I currently have a 100lbs Dogo Argentino and can’t wait to meet your furry friend! I’m currently getting my masters online so I am available during all hours of the day to look after your companion! Potty breaks are easy and frequent. I have a huge love for animals and seek to give them a comfortable, happy experience while you’re occupied. I have an unfenced yard, a beautiful walkable neighborhood, and treat each furry friend with all the love, care, patience, and respect they deserve from their sitter!
“Rebekah took great care of my dog. She took him on daily hikes or walks , sent picture updates while I was away , and gave him lots of tlc. I felt really safe leaving my dog in her care and will definitely use her in the future.”
“Christine was so accommodating, we had to book last minute and we could not be more pleased. Murphy was well cared for. We are so thankful we found her and we will definitely be booking with her again!”
“If I could give 10 stars I would! Elizabeth is absolutely amazing with pets and I highly recommend having her care for your pets. She was so engaging with all of my animals and sent pictures and updates, she’s incredibly kind and genuinely cares for your animals. She even came another time for me when I asked last minute and she was more than helpful to us. I am very grateful I found her and her services and will be using her again. Thank you so much Elizabeth!!!! ~Alyssa, Ben, Lili, Max and Lana <3”
About: Retired police/military K9 handler who has spent a significant time in his professional career enforcing animal cruelty laws. Wide range of experience with all types of dogs and cats. I currently work a full-time job enforcing animal cruelty laws. Nearing retirement in July of 2027 I am available in early morning hours as well as evenings Monday thru Friday and anytime on weekends and holiday's. It is important to know your animals. They tell us when they are happy, sad and ill. Paying attention to the signs they give you is vital to a safe environment. Constant communication between the owner and myself is a pivotal step to ensuring these signs are not overlooked.
About: I’ve loved and cared for animals my entire life, from farm animals to beloved pets. I have a special place in my heart for senior dogs after caring for my Pomeranian, Coco, in her old age.🪽I’m calm, patient, reliable, and experienced with all personalities, routines, and medication needs. I treat every pet like family and every home with respect. I’m a full-time student online, so I have plenty of time to spend with pets. I’m active and love getting dogs outside for walks and hikes, and I also make sure they get enrichment through play, structure, and mental stimulation. I practice a lot of this with my own dog, Brownie. I’m experienced with dogs of all ages. I’ve cared for my own dog, Brownie, from her puppy days and know how important patience, guidance, and consistent routines are. I follow the routines you’ve set for feeding, walks, playtime, and enrichment, and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved in their own home. I treat your home with respect, keep things tidy, and pay attention to the little things that make pets feel relaxed and happy while your away.
“Emily did an amazing job! We didn’t have much time to find a place or person to watch our pets when we went on an impromptu trip, she came in and saved the day. Our pets (2 dogs and 1 cat) seemed to enjoy her company, she sent pictures daily. All around a great experience. Highly recommended!”
About: I've raised dogs, both my own and others, since I could walk. I began a dog sitting and walking service when I was ten in my hometown of Portland, Connecticut, and have continued to do so ever since. I've been in NYC for 8 years and I live alone in a very pet-friendly home. I work remotely, too. Super flexible. My own dog passed last year, so I'm looking to start taking care of dogs again after a hiatus. I work full-time and remotely with a lot of flexibility. I make my own schedule and can walk your pup as need be. Currently accepting applications for your dog to be my temp worker, job requirements include looking cute and ideally not barking during meetings (a few hello's are okay). I'm a TLC kind of pet lover. Your dog will be spoiled with love. I also keep a clean home, so you won't have to worry about your dog eating anything not meant for them.
“Jennifer was reliable and came through last minute when another sitter cancelled. Took great care of the house and animals and was responsive while we were gone sharing pictures. Highly recommend.”
“Jacqueline watched our two rescue dogs (ages 3 and 6) in our house for a week and did a fabulous job! She was so understanding of their behavioral quirks and kept us updated frequently. It was a relief knowing they were in such good hands and seeing photos of their happy faces while we were away. Thank you, Jacqueline!”
“Meg is amazing! It was difficult to get my husband to take the leap to hire a stranger but I wish we had done it years ago. Meg followed every instruction, didn't miss a beat, took great care of our animals and house and over delivered. Can't wait to leave again so we know our babies are in great hands again!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Deep River Center
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,352 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Deep River Center. 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 Deep River Center 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 Deep River Center 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 Deep River Center 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.

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.
