“Susanne was absolutely wonderful! She made sure to keep us fully aware of everything going on and how all the pups were doing. This was our first big trip in years and I was so worried so she sent plenty of photos and updates to ease my stress. I would use her again, my pups totally loved her!”
“Victoria did an amazing job with my 2 puppies. They absolutely loved her and had a great time. She sent updates though the afternoon/night with pictures and it was amazing to see them calm and sleeping ir playing and eating. Will absolutely recommend her!”
“Isabella did a great job taking care of my two dogs and my home while we were on vacation for a week. My dogs were happy when we got home. Isabella made sure the house looked great too! I would recommend her without hesitation!”
About: I have experience caring for my neighbors’ dogs, helping with feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure they feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pup is energetic and loves playtime or prefers calm companionship, I provide patient, reliable, and personalized care. I’ll treat your dog like my own, keep you updated with photos and messages, and make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I have a flexible routine that allows me to provide loving and attentive care for pets. I work part-time and occasionally travel, but when I’m home, I spend most of my time taking care of my home and my two cats. Since I’m often home, I’m able to provide pets with companionship, attention, playtime, and a comfortable environment. I would love the opportunity to help other pet owners by caring for their animals when they need someone they can trust. I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe and happy while you’re away. I will provide reliable care, regular updates, and treat every pet with the same love and patience I give my own. In my home: I have a spacious home with multiple empty rooms and a fenced yard, providing a safe and comfortable environment for pets. I understand that every animal has different needs, so I can create a calm, separate space if needed. I have two cats of my own, and if they do not get along with a visiting cat, I can safely keep the guest cat comfortable on the second floor with a room, a window, and everything they need, while still providing plenty of love and attention. In your home: I will care for your pets while respecting your home and your routines. I will follow your instructions carefully and will not touch or use anything that I am not allowed to. My priority is to keep your pet comfortable, maintain their normal routine, and leave your home clean and respected.
“Aaron is a great! He is so responsible unfortunately we had a problem with our home lock and he handled it with ease. He communicates well and lets us know our fur babies are well taken care of. I will continue to rebook Aaron!”
About: I've loved animals since I was a kid and have been working with them professionally since 2019. My experience in the pet industry as well as customer service has equipped me with a unique skill set that I believe can benefit dogs of any temperament. I value transparent communication with all pet parents to set clear expectations and goals. I prioritize safety and building trust with each dog, meeting them where they're at as individuals, and building their confidence to feel safe and respected while under my care. I started out as a doggy daycare attendant, learning to read dog body language and to match dogs with their new best friends. I also quickly developed my photography skills to get the best shots for each dog's report card to send their parents a smile. I worked my way up to managing a boarding facility where I would oversee daycare, boarding, and grooming functionality. I also directly engaged with customers for any communication necessary to ensure the best care for their pups. During this time, I began to encounter more and more dogs with special needs and/or troubled pasts. This lead me to gain an ever-evolving understanding of what makes a dog feel stressed and anxious vs happy and playful. For the past three years I've been caring for sanctuary dogs and feral cats at a private rescue. These are animals who were adopted and returned for behavioral issues, had pre-existing health conditions, or were simply abandoned by previous owners. Many of them are seniors, as we are their final home to live out the rest of their days in peace, so I'm comfortable administering medications as needed. This facility has enhanced my appreciation for misunderstood dogs and cats, giving me the privilege to become more patient and intentional with my animal interactions. Whether your pet wants to be everyone's friend or needs someone to prove their worth first, I'd love to meet them and see if we're a good fit! I have full availability on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays. I am available after 6pm all other days. I can make adjustments for overnight stays as needed. I am currently working full-time but would love to focus more on pet sitting once I establish regular clients! I am currently offering care in the client's home, including walks, enrichment and brain games, play time, feeding and medication as needed, and overnight stays.
“Ashley is truly amazing with Ares! She not only arrives on time, but immediately jumps into caring for him — taking him on multiple walks, heading to the dog park first in the morning, play time, and keeps up with his scheduled routine. She also sends me multiple videos and photos throughout the day with important updates. We absolutely love having her watch our puppy!🩵”
“Giselle is an amazing Rover! We’ve used her several times and have always had a great experience. Our pup, Willow, gets so excited to see Giselle; she takes Willow on walks in our neighborhood (as observed by all our neighbors), sends pictures of Willow when she housesits, and most importantly is attentive to and plays with Willow which allows me to enjoy time away without worry. We couldn’t be happier with her! Thank you, Giselle!”
“Ryann was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Ares! She was sweet, attentive, punctual, and followed his routine thoroughly. We felt completely at ease knowing Ares was in such capable and caring hands. We highly recommend Ryann and will definitely book her again!”
About: I’ve worked with small and large dogs taking care of them full time to part time as well I’ve also taken time to learn about the body language of animals specifically dogs I work full time and I am also a student full time for physical therapy. I am looking for side job for enjoyment and love to watch all kinds of animals I have a full fenced in yard and back yard I’m very thorough with cleaning and making sure the pets need to go out on a timely schedule
“Marisol was great!! She provided timely updates and pictures, and she was very respectful of my home. I would definitely recommend and use her as a house sitter again 😊”
“Stephanie was great. We have a very anxious dog and he doesn’t warm up to many. Stephanie and Frankie were friends in no time. She made us at ease with multiple updates during the night. We were very comfortable with her and will definitely use her again when Frankie is back in Florida.”
“Kali was wonderful with Ares! She arrived on time, took him on several walks and to the dog park, and made sure he ate and stayed active with a couple naps in between. She sent multiple updates throughout the day, keeping me informed the whole time. Overall, a great experience and we truly appreciate her care! 🩵”
About: Hello Yari here I’m new to rover but I have over 5 years of experience caring for dogs and have been volunteering at a local dog shelter for the past 4 years. I’m also a proud dog mom to three Golden Retrievers of my own! 🐾 Between my own dogs and my shelter experience, I’ve cared for dogs of different sizes, ages, personalities, and backgrounds. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, basic routines, and giving each dog the patience and individual attention they need. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets, so I’ll treat your dog like one of my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m fortunate to run my own luxury picnic business, which gives me the flexibility to create my own schedule. This allows me to make plenty of time for pet care throughout the week, including walks, drop-ins, playtime, and lots of attention. I always want your pets to feel comfortable and at home with me! I’ll stick to their normal routine, give them plenty of love and attention, and of course send you cute pictures and updates along the way.
“Brian was awesome! I was surprised at how well Rocky and Chuy did with him. He did an excellent job of sending pictures and updates and left the house immaculate! I would highly, highly recommend him.”
“We were very happy with Jasmine. From the moment she entered the house for her meet & greet, it was obvious how much she enjoys the dogs/pups & that Chloe would be in good hands. We will definitely rotate the two wonderful Jas(z)mine's as needed & feel at peace knowing we have people we can turn to and trust when needed. I do highly recommend her (but hope she doesn't get too busy for us! 💖”
About: I’ve had many pets growing up and I am especially gentle and knowledgeable about senior dogs. I have also dog sat numerous of times with my friends’ and neighbor’s dogs! I am currently working from home, so I will have plenty of time to fit pet care into my daily routine. I am mostly free on weekdays, but can work with weekends if needed. I have a gated neighborhood and a fenced backyard to ensure nothing bad happens to your furry friend. I will also be able to provide dog sitting at your own home to make your pet feel safer to the environment!
“Carly is one of the most patient sitters we met. She gave our dogs time and love. They never felt more comfortable with any other sitter. I would recommend her to anybody who needs their pups taken care of. She was amazing taking care our pups at our place and considerate of their many quirks and needs.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Deer Park
Yaritza was absolutely incredible! She came over the morning of our trip to spend time with our pups and go over their routines and everything they needed. Throughout our time away, she kept us updated on how they were doing, which gave us so much peace of mind. She truly went above and beyond! When we got home, we found that she had even changed the sheets on the bed she used and put the ones she slept on in the wash. Such a thoughtful gesture! We couldn’t have been happier with the care she provided. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the animals she watches. We loved having Yaritza take care of our pups and will absolutely be booking with her again! Highly recommend!
We are so happy with the kind of service Lindsay gives to our dog and our home. Not only was she incredibly conscious and communicative with us while we were away, we came back to a home that looked like we never left. This is the kind of person you want to entrust your animal and home with. We have another trip planned next month and know that we will have a sense of peace while we are gone for an extended time. Thank you girl for being the best sitter!

The average cost of House Sitting in Deer Park is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $67 per night.

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 Park 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 Park 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 Deer Park 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
