“Lexy house sitted for 3 nights. Kept the house really clean and the dog super happy! Received a couple updates and many pictures a day. Will definitely recommend her! Trustworthy and kind”
“So happy to have Lisa watching my 2 pups the last three days. It was our first time with her and won't be the last! I've already booked her again. Lisa was great about communicating with me. She sent an update and pics twice a day without my having to prompt her. She had great rapport with my dogs, even with shy Riley. The house was in great condition when I got home. Lisa really cares about animals and doing a good job. I appreciate all you did while I was gone.”
“Amanda watched our dog for a last minute trip and took great care of him. She was very communicative during the visit. Comforting to know he was in good hands while we were away. We will definitely use Amanda again!”
“Larry was an excellent dog sitter for our pup. Our dog is a COVID dog and used to being with someone 24/7. Larry stayed at our house and walked, played and kept our pup company. He was able to bond with Mozzi the first day. We came home to a clean house and a very happy dog. We would definitely hire Larry again. So glad we found him on rover.com.”
“This was our first time having a stranger house sit for us and we were super nervous, but upon meeting Ellie we knew our pups were going to be in great hands! We were gone for about 3 days and Ellie sent us pictures and updates of the pups everyday. When we got back home we were so happy to see how well the pups and the house were taken care of. We are super happy with Ellie and will definitely be asking for her help in the future! Thank you Ellie!”
“Oh my gosh, she saved the day! We have a new puppy, but have some event we couldn’t get out of.. I needed an extra early morning request.., she said no problem, then I had to change it to an even earlier time, And she said no problem! She came on time.. sent pics.. couldn’t be more happier! Will definitely use her again!!”
“Jacqui was absolutely terrific taking care of my two 13 year old Springer Spaniels while I visited my son in Ohio for a week. She loves dogs and gave them plenty of love and attention. The hardest part of her duties was giving them all of their daily medicines which she did even learning to give Tia her twice daily shots of insulin. I highly recommend Jacqui!”
“Denise have been walking Stella and Milo many times a week and babsitted them in my home a few times in the past few months! I feel very safe knowing she is the one coming, the pups adore her and she always gives a lot of updates/pictures! 🤗”
“Taylor was a pleasure to work with! She was very communicative and kept us updated with our pet's needs. Letting us know if they were eating properly and how they were doing on their walks. Taylor was great with our dogs and sent wonderful pictures. She was very flexible when our dog had to have eyedrops given last minute right before we left. Her positive attitude and dedication gave us peace of mind while we were gone on vacation for a week. We knew our dogs were getting well cared for and wouldn't hesitate to use her again! We highly recommend her!”
“Javi is terrific. He has taken care of my high energy dog multiple times. My dog took to him immediately! He loves dogs and they love him ! He is easy to communicate with and is super friendly.”
“Alyssa did a great job watching our dogs at our house while we were away. You can tell they were well cared for and happy when we got home. She sent at least one update a day with pictures. Will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Always a pleasure having Cat watch our pups - our 2 dogs love her. We also really appreciate that she leaves the house clean just as we left it. Very kind and considerate - highly recommend!”
“Yana is so lovely! She talks to my dog, which he loves and gives him lots of cuddles. Very caring and clearly loves taking care of dogs, which makes all the difference. I feel comfortable with her taking care of my dog.”
“Anna is amazing! It means the world to me to have found someone I trust to take care of my girl when i have to be away. She kept me updated throughout my trip, was flexible about timing and I know Maggie had a wonderful time with her. Thank you Anna!”
“Jeremy is truly the best, he has watched our boys multiple times now and they can be a handful! Our pups are always in good spirits after hanging with him for a few days and our home is always very clean when we get back! He’s the best sitter we’ve had in the LA area 😊”
About: I’ve been animal-obsessed forever. I briefly planned to be a vet… until I discovered how temperatures are taken and quickly pivoted to professional pet spoiler. I’m the friend everyone calls for reliable dog sitting and cat sitting, and I treat every pet like my own (nicknames absolutely included). I have hands-on experience with puppies, senior dogs, shy cats, and multi-pet households. I’m attentive to routines, respectful of your house rules, and big on clear communication with photo and video updates so you always know your pet is safe and happy. After fostering a dozen pups, I had my first foster fail in 2014 when Stevie came home for good. He’s now my geriatric chihuahua, living his best life fueled by naps, Greenies, and prime sunbathing real estate. Your pet will get the same loving, attentive care! Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. I have a flexible, work-from-home schedule much of the week, which allows me to give pets in my care plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I’m thoughtful about structuring my time around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and check-ins, and I always aim to keep each pet on their normal routine to minimize stress. Because I share my home with a senior chihuahua, I’m especially attuned to comfort, safety, and gentle care. Whether it’s daily walks, medication, or extra cuddle time, I build pet care into my week so every animal gets reliable, loving attention. I keep your pet’s routine as normal and stress-free as possible while you’re away. I carefully follow all feeding, walk, medication, and care instructions — right down to favorite toys and nicknames. I treat every client’s home with great respect and always keep things clean and tidy. You’ll receive regular photo and video updates, and I stay very attentive to your pet’s comfort, safety, and energy level. With my fostering experience and senior pet background, I’m patient, observant, and quick to flag anything that seems off. My goal is simple: you come home to a happy pet and a home exactly as you left it.
“We have had Katherine stay at our home with our doodle Freddie prior to this visit - she stayed for nearly 1 week with him and they bonded and grew even closer during that time. We appreciate her attentiveness and communication and will be working with her again in the future!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Deer Lake Highlands
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.

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.
