“Laura was absolutely fantastic! We had never left our dog before and were pretty nervous since she’s a rescue and can be shy. Laura was amazing! She won Lilly over quickly and kept us updated the whole time with lots of messages and photos. We felt so at ease knowing our dog was in such good hands. We would book with her again in a heartbeat! Truly so thankful for her and highly recommend her!!”
“Susanne is such a blessing! She was able to house sit with our 3 pups in a last minute time of need. We appreciate her very much! She is professional & respectful to say the least! 110% recommend!”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Laura. She took amazing care of my cat, Saylor, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. She spent quality time with Saylor, even brought her special gifts, and kept me updated every day with photos and videos. She’s incredibly communicative, trustworthy, and reliable. I also really appreciated that she left my home spotless. It’s clear she genuinely cares, and I could tell Saylor was happy and comfortable with her. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and dependable pet sitter! we are looking forward to more sits with Laura”
“Laura was excellent with our two dogs! She is pleasant, conscientious, genuinely cares about our dogs. They fell in love with her the first time they saw her! We will be using her in the future whenever we need someone. Thanks again Laura!”
“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!🩵”
“We are beyond grateful for Jayla! She took amazing care of our two Sphynx babies while we were away, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in her hands. She was reliable, attentive, and kept us updated with photos and messages every visit. Thank you!!”
“Sarah was punctual, kept me informed with multiple updates, and meticulously maintained our puppy’s schedule. She kept me informed throughout the day by sending multiple photos of my puppy throughout the day. We have absolutely no complaints and are so grateful for the level of care and attention she provided. 🩵🐾”
About: We are located on 5 acres fully fenced in Land O' Lakes. It's like have a full doggie park out the front door. We love it!! We have been watching dogs for friends and family for years. The kids love playing with dogs. Any medication your pet(s) may need we will handle. Any special toys or beds are welcomed (and encouraged) to be brought, along with food/water bowls. We want your furry family member to feel right at home. If the furry family member needs special attention with anything we will accommodate those needs. When you are on vacation, your furry family member will be on their own little vacation in a home away from home. We look forward to meeting you and your furry family member. We love all dogs! Pet care is our everyday life. We are up between 5:30 and 6am. The larger dogs get a 1.5 to 3 mile walk every morning. The smaller and older dogs get a walk to more suit their individual needs. After the morning walk its breakfast time with one more short out before we are off to work. The pups get an afternoon walk along with a longer evening walk before dinner. Then shortly before bedtime we go outside one more time. This is normal day, but will be modified around the pups needs and our schedule. All pups are treated as they are part of our family while in our care. They get loved, pets and playtime. We allow all pups on the sofa and bed (unless asked by the owner not too).
About: Hi - I'm Madeline! I'm an experienced pet sitter in the Tampa Bay area and I would love to care for your family. As a pet mom myself, I understand the importance of having responsible, patient, and loving care for your pets when you have to be away from them. I have more than a decade of experience caring for dogs and cats (and even an opossum!) in their own home. I am comfortable caring for animals with a wide variety of needs. Do you have a diabetic dog who requires shots? I can handle that. Is your cat a serial puker who requires a special diet? Mine too. I would love the opportunity to care for your pets and your home. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. I have open availability for drop-in visits and overnight sitting. I have several established clients, but those visits are scheduled in advance and are often easily managed alongside new bookings. Because I have cats of my own, I care for pets in their own homes. Rest assured, mine are cared for when I'm away, so I can focus solely on your pet and their needs. For overnight/house sitting bookings, I require a "Get to Know You" visit in your home at least 48 hours prior to the start of your first booking to ensure that we're a good fit for each other.
“This was my first time using Rover. Maddyn was great with my pets. She was easy to communicate with. She sent pictures and updates. She asked questions when needed. She brushed Bear and Dakota, shook out their beds. She swept and bought the mail in everyday. She let me know I received a package that had to be refrigerated and she put it in the fridge for me before I even had a chance to let her know about it. I will use Maddyn again!”
About: I've cared for dogs & cats for 5 years through helping family, friends, neighbors, and my own pets. My experiencing includes feeding, providing fresh water, walking dogs, cleaning up after pets, and making sure pets feel safe while their owners are away. I understand the importance of reliable communication and will provide updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind while they're away. As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable pet care throughout the week. I'm available for walks & drop ins anytime, including evenings and weekends! Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all care instructions, provide plenty of attention, and ensure pets have fresh water and a safe environment.
“Emma is a LIFESAVER. She took excellent care of our two dogs amid chaotic post-hurricane conditions so we could take a weekend trip we had already planned and desperately needed. She kept us updated with plenty of cute photos and videos and knew how to cater to both our dogs’ personalities — the high energy pitbull and the snuggle bug schnauzer mix. We are so grateful for how kind and flexible she has been during such a stressful time for this whole community. Highly recommend!”
“Soraya was absolutely wonderful! She took amazing care of Lady. She sent detailed updates, photos and videos. I could tell from her videos she was showing Lady all the love and attention. Lady absolutely loves her! I’m grateful to have found someone to take care of my baby like she would her own! Soraya was super communicative, professional and prompt. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Naomi was great. Our foster is rather shy and he took to her right away. She was extremely flexible and we can be back to a really clean home. We will definitely be rebooking again with her. Thank you!”
“Isabella is amazing! Booked a last minute home-sitting due to a family emergency and she was response and came right away! My puppies ended up having multiples accidents and she was so kind to clean the mess up for me! She was attentive, caring, and my babies absolutely love her! She sent me multiple pictures and kept me completely updated of everything. From a first time experience for my dogs and myself, we have to say Isabella is phenomenal and I recommend her to anyone! Can’t wait to book her again for my future travels! Thank you again! ❤️”

Lindsay did a great job house sitting over the weekend with our 3 pups. She kept them on their schedules. She spent time cuddling and exercising with them. We came home to happy relaxed pups and the house was as clean as we left it! We highly recommend Lindsay!

FAQs for House Sitting - Deer Park
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Deer Park on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 4,117 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Deer Park. 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 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.
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 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Deer Park. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
