“This is our first time having Nicole take care of our dog, Nash. Nicole was great throughout her visit. She spent time understanding our expectations and if she had any questions she would ask. She kept us updated and sent pictures during our time away. We will definitely use Nicole again.”
“We have a sweet senior yorkie named Sophie. She is almost completely blind and very nervous. It really takes her a while to trust people, but Molly was so patient & kind allowing Sophie to gain her trust on her terms until they bonded. Yay!! Starting from our first met and greet she was on time, ask a lot of questions on Sophies needs and schedule, likes and dislikes. She sent lots of pictures and comments while we were gone which I love and really appreciated. She checked in with us to make sure our flight times had not changed coming hm. Took Sophie for a little walk before we arrived home. House was clean and well taken care of. And we had a pretty plant sitting on our counter when we arrived home. We would highly recommend Molly and plan to have her watch our little gal again…. She was wonderful!!!”
“Andy was amazing with Snipper! She took such great care of her and made sure she was happy and comfortable the entire time. It was clear that Andy spent a lot of time playing with Snipper and giving her plenty of attention, which I really appreciated. I felt completely at ease knowing Snipper was in such good hands. I highly recommend Andy to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and attentive pet sitter. Thank you so much, Andy!”
“I am so happy to have connected with Isabelle on Rover! I've had some questionable sitters before and I'm so relieved to have found a reliable person with great communication! Will definitely be booking again. 🐾”
About: With over 20 years of hands-on experience raising multiple Norwegian Elkhounds, I’ve turned daily dog park visits into a joyful, high-energy ritual. Whether your pup loves a brisk walk, a game of fetch, or simply needs attentive full-time care, I’m here to provide it. From playful puppies to wise senior dogs, I tailor my approach to meet each pet’s unique needs—ensuring comfort, companionship, and peace of mind for you. Regular Off-Leash Dog Parkvisits to these parks: Susan E. Lurton Park - Orono Lake Minnewashta - Excelsior Carver Park Reserve - Victoria Pet care works well for me as I only have part time work with an investment thesis I am writing about. Local to Deephaven and the Lake Minnetonka area for 10+ years. I have a fenced yard and one 9 year old Norwegian Elk Hound who is dog friendly or I am able to dog/house sit at your place. Glad to provide a daily update.
“Another excellent trip with Elaine watching our reactive pups! She gets that they are super slow to warm up and even worked on some socialization with her new puppy. Excellent!! Thank you! We will book again.”
“Elizabeth was great! My dog can be a bit of a diva but everything went well and River felt calm around her. I received updates and messages throughout and my house was left very clean!”
“Michelle took wonderful care of our senior dog who has some special needs. She was a great communicator, caring and made us feel so comfortable leaving our dog. I would definitely use her again!”
“Kristen cared for my pets like they were her own, and they loved spending time with her while I was away. Her communication is top notch; I got daily updates and could tell from the stories and photos that they were truly relaxed and themselves around her, which really allowed me to relax on my vacation.”
“Savanna was great with my pup. Provided lots of updates throughout the visit. She was also super helpful in bringing in mail that was delivered. I would highly recommend Savanna to those looking for a great provider.”
“Kelly was an awesome sitter for our dog with separation anxiety! It was our first time booking and she couldn’t have been more accommodating. Kelly sent frequent updates and photos to keep us informed while we were away. We’d recommend her to anyone.”
“Emma brings the complete package when it comes to to dog care. Very reliable, responsive and great with our two larger dogs. She is very clean and respectful of our home. We arrived after 5 days away and couldn’t tell she was staying there the whole time. Our dogs loved her company, I would use her again for sure! A plus job Emma.”
“Brooke was absolutely incredible with our anxious/reactive dog. She immediately put us at ease during our meet and greet, and was respectful of our dog’s need for a slow introduction. She went above and beyond to make him feel comfortable and let him warm up to her at his own pace. By the end of her stay at our house, the two of them were best buddies. We came home to a very happy and well cared for pup! She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures and updates. We would recommend her in a heartbeat and definitely plan to ask her back again!”
“I highly recommend Sammie! She took such good care of our two dogs while we were on vacation. She sent photos every day and we knew they were in great hands. She is a true professional and we’ll definitely use her again.”
“Skai was wonderful. She was very attentive and went above and beyond to make my nervous little boy as comfortable as possible. She was in constant contact with me on how each day was going and I received pics along with updates putting me at ease to enjoy my vaca. I highly recommend her! Thank you Skai!”

This is the second time that Lindsay has helped us with our Buddy while we were out of town - she is definitely on our "Favorites" list! We were able to enjoy our time away knowing that Buddy was well taken care of! We got pics along the way, Buddy was happy, and the house was in good order when we returned. Buddy even got a little Puppy-Spa session with the blow dryer after a rainy, wet walk - he LOOOVES a nice blow dry / massage after a rainy walk!! :-) Thanks again, Lindsay!
Stephanie stayed in our home and cared for our dog for two weeks while we traveled internationally. During the time we were gone we received regular updates, including pictures, which meant a lot when traveling for so long. When we got home we found a freshly cleaned house and a very happy dog, with some new enrichment activity toys thanks to Stephanie. I can highly recommend Stephanie as a house/ dog sitter. She is very skilled, and deeply cares for animals. We will definitely book with her again.
How fortunate was I to find Teresa. She provided all the TLC for my pups they needed and more. One dog has special medical needs and she handled them perfectly. I could tell from the photos she sent me that my pups were content and responded to her in ways only I would understand. Book Teresa and you will have assurance and peace of mind.

FAQs for House Sitting - Deephaven
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 3,439 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Deephaven. 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 Deephaven 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 Deephaven 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Deephaven 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Deephaven. On Rover:
- 95% 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.
