“IULIIA was wonderful with our puppy, Bob. He had no accidents in the house, as he is in potty training. She played with him a lot, and he was a very happy puppy when we came home. She followed instructions and she was on time, and very nice. We will use her again! Thank you!”
“Sara is fantastic! She’s kind, professional and compassionate and made an instant connection with my dogs. She got to know them and all their little quirks and they loved their time with her. She sent lots of pics and videos and made me feel completely at ease while I was gone.”
“Molly saved the day and was available Halloween weekend so we could go away. It is always difficult having someone you just met stay in your home, but Molly made us feel at ease right away during our meet and greet. She is punctual, knowledgeable, very responsible, loves dogs and instantly connected with our Golden Retriever, Lincoln. She stayed 2 nights in our home with him, and all went extremely well. Molly sent us detailed reports and photos during her stay which gave us peace of mind and left our home in tip top shape! Molly is a very good communicator. We highly recommend, Molly! She is wonderful! We will be hiring her in the future!”
“Larry was great with Pringle. He is very professional, punctual and knowledgeable about dogs. He took great care of Pringle while I away at work and made sure she got lots of attention. It’s clear he really understands and loves working with dogs. I highly recommend.”
About: My family has owned dogs and cats my entire life. I don’t think there has been a single day in my life where I didn’t own a pet or have responsibility for one. Including the Marines under my charge. Animals. Seriously, though… Pets love me. I am also a firm believer in following instructions to a T. People are often surprised when I ask to meet their dog, they tell me that the dog is skittish or afraid, and then the dog walks slowly up to me like they’ve known me forever and then we’re best friends. I feed my two cats, Chief and Cosmos, daily at 8am and 8pm. Cosmos requires special dietary food, so my wife and I bought chip-specific feeders for each cat. I also make sure they stay physical with my fishing rod toys, as well as ensure clean facilities for the… you know. It all comes down to showing them love, providing for them, and protecting them. I treat my two cats like they were my own kids. We don’t deserve their love if we can’t give it to them. It’s inhumane.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for a long time for neighbors, friends, and coworkers! I’d love to meet your babies and provide whatever they need for their different personalities and needs! I’m currently working part time and would have a lot of time during the week for overnight stays, walking, drop in visits or whatever you need! I’m very loving and have a lot of experience with different types of dogs and cats. More than happy to help with more skittish animals or those more standoffish to people.
“Bruna was absolutely amazing with my cat Carl and French Bulldog Daisy. I needed a sitter with less than 24 hours’ notice over the Fourth of July holiday, and she stepped in without hesitation. At the time, Daisy had just undergone surgery and required constant supervision along with medication administration. B handled everything flawlessly and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She sent frequent updates, photos, and messages, which meant so much given Daisy’s condition. Most importantly, it was obvious that both Carl and Daisy adored her. You can tell when someone genuinely loves animals, and they were comfortable, happy, and well cared for in her hands. I would not hesitate to book Bruna again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and attentive pet sitter.”
“Was a lifesaver in helping me out on short notice. Did a great job taking care of my baby. Communicated with me throughout, which was much appreciated. Definitely book her if you need help with your precious dog.”
“Amanda is hands down the best dog-sitter I've had in a decade! When I came home from a 6-day trip, Poe (my dog) was calm and happy and clearly well cared for. Amanda sent photos and updates several times a day. She went above and beyond to make sure that my nervous dog had loving company. I highly recommend Amanda -- she's caring, competent, reliable, and took care of my dog as if she were her own dog. Thanks, Amanda!”
About: I have over five years of experience caring for dogs as part of my work as a Personal Assistant and House Manager. My responsibilities have included daily walks, feeding, administering medications when needed, coordinating vet and grooming appointments, providing companionship, and ensuring pets were safe, happy, and well cared for while their owners were away. I understand that every dog has unique needs and routines, and I always strive to provide reliable, loving, and attentive care. As a lifelong dog lover and experienced pet sitter, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to easily adapt to my clients’ needs and priorities. I am available during different times of the day, including mornings, afternoons, and throughout the week, with flexibility on weekends as well. In the client's home, I adapt to the pet's familiar surroundings, maintaining routines and providing attentive care. The approach varies based on the unique needs and preferences discussed with the client

“Great care of my pups, would appreciate a clean floor if my dog has an accident but overall, always sending pictures and videos. Really appreciated attention to communication and the care for my pup. Thank you for your responsiveness at the last minute, too!!”
“Cat was wonderful! Our pets loved her from the moment she came for the meet and greet. She took great care of them while we were gone and provided daily updates. Cat is very trustworthy, punctual, and we plan on booking her again for the next time we travel. Highly recommend hiring Cat to take care of your fur babies!”
“Lilly was fantastic with our three dogs. Two of them are 15 y/o and needed a lot of personal attention - and she was terrific. The dogs all loved her, she stayed in touch with us and sent pictures. You know when you meet Lilly that you have a super dependable and kind person that will care for your pets like they were hers. The ratings only go up to '5' but she earned a '10'!!”
“Zachary was amazing! He stayed with our animals for 3 nights and they absolutely loved him. He took amazing care and followed all instructions. Will absolutely be booking with him again in the future.”
“Kimberly did a great job. She had to manage two large dogs over three days. The house and the pups were well cared for. I asked Kimberly to abide by some fairly strict rules with the dogs in order to manage their high-energy and potential anxiety and she did an excellent job. Kimberly have our pups multiple daily walks, administered pet medication, and maintained the security of the house. I strongly recommend Kimberly for your pet/house sitting needs.”
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 9 years old and have always connected with them naturally! I've owned over 6 dogs in my life and currently have 2 sibling blue-heelers that are spoiled rotten! I am a home-body so I enjoy spending my days at home with my family and my dogs. I would be more than happy to care for your pup :) I was currently laid-off so I will be spending a lot more free time at home, pet sitting would be a great add on :) I have a fenced yard, an alarm system, and our dogs sleep in the garage but have access to the backyard with their dog door. Our dogs also have crates that are used when we sit dogs

My partner and I loved having Lexy over to house sit for our two cats for the first time! She was so communicative, providing us frequent text updates and pictures of the cats while we were away for the weekend that really set our minds at ease. She was very attentive in the way she monitored the cats’ behavior and eating patterns. This is certainly not the first time we’ll have her over to watch the cats while we’re away.
I appreciated Emily’s observational skills and calm response to my dog being sick while I was gone. She took good care of her and used good common sense in caring for our dog. Our dog was happy and seemed fully recovered when we returned home. The house was clean and she went beyond to make sure everything was back to normal when we returned. Thank you.
another amazing house sit from Van! went away from two weeks over seas and had so much peace of mind with Van watching over my two cats again. i even re-arranged my trip dates to make sure she was available. as always, she took amazing care of my boys and house; checking on cars, grabbing mail, cleaning before i got back. she goes above and beyond 💖
Bouvier was above and beyond communicative and caring of our 2 senior Golden Retrievers, one with medical needs and the other that developed a medical need while we were gone. We felt in the loop the entire time although we were a Continent away. She took over sitting in between another sitter’s stay and was more than willing to communicate personally with her about the status of the pups. We are grateful to Bouvier and look forward to having her our pups in the future.
Lexy was awesome! We were very nervous leaving our crew of 4 pups 2 cats and 1 lizard while went on vacation for a week. She had no problem dealing with the shenanigans of our 1 year old pup while bonding with our other middle aged and senior dogs. She followed all of our instructions to a t and sent plenty of sweet updates and photos. It felt like she really bonded with everyone and seamlessly jumped into their routine. She asked questions whenever she wasn't sure about something to make sure she got it done right. She happily brought in all of our packages and mail and left the house in great condition. We feel so lucky to have finally found someone we can trust with our squad. Definitely would recommend!
I highly recommend Luke to take care of your furry family. Our dog is wary of strange men at the outset but she warmed up to Luke very quickly. This was our first vacation away from her since we rescued her so we weren't sure how she'd handle the change in caretakers but she did better than I expected. Luke was responsive and sent daily pics and updates. He was also great at watching our house for us while we were out of town. Thanks Luke!
Absolutely outstanding care of my young rescue. Jasmine took the time to come to my home before the actual sitting date to ensure it would be easier on my dog when staying with a new person. Jasmine stayed for close to an hour until my dog calmed down and engaged in play with her. She brought her own treats. My dog adores her and I will definitely request Jasmine in the future.
I was very happy with Christina who took care of my elderly dog, Milo. She was pro active when it looked like he might need a vet visit and kept me informed. When I returned home, she had taken out the trash and made sure Milo's dishes were clean. That was greatly appreciated. i would highly recommend her and would use her again.

FAQs for House Sitting - Deer Lake Highlands
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Deer Lake Highlands on Rover is $59.94 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 11,265 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Deer Lake Highlands. 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 Deer Lake Highlands 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 Deer Lake Highlands 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 Deer Lake Highlands 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.

- 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.
