Gabrielle was so great with our chocolate lab! She was professional and sent photos and an update on him the entire week we were out of town. She also left our home clean and tidy .

Kaylee took such good care of our girl while we were out of town for a long weekend! She sent detailed updates and we could tell how much fun our pup was having. And the house is absolutely spotless upon our return. Truly couldn’t ask for more! Thank you so much, Kaylee!!

My dog is terrified of thunderstorms and I reached out to Becca to provide company for him during a potential storm. She did a great job with my dog and made sure he was comfortable. I would definitely use Becca again in the future and recommend her to anyone else.

About: I have had a dog since I was a kid and love the companionship they bring to our family. Very experienced in grooming and feeding and all types of care that dogs can require. Have also had senior pets that needed lots of special care that I am always happy to provide. I work from home, so here all day with my Goldendoodle. Also have a flexible work schedule for walks during the day and in the evenings. Weekends we like to take longer walks to explore the neighborhood around us. I have a fenced in yard, a Goldendoodle that loves to play with other dogs, and three 20ish year old sons who love to care for pets.

About: hello! my name is charlize i’m 22 i’ve grown up with animals my whole life and now i currently work at an animal hospital helping taking care of the dogs and cats that come in to see the vet. i’m very experienced with animals and taking care of animals and i love all different kinds of animals. i’ve worked at the animal hospital now for two and a half years and its been the most amazing two and a half years of my life. i am also going to school to practice becoming a veterinarian so i am really excited to meet all new furry friends for more experience. i am good with administering medication, i am good with dealing with aggressive dogs, i am good with any diabetic cat or dog with dosing insulin. you name it and i can do it!! i work part time hours at the animal hospital during the summer months and full time during fall and winter but i am extremely flexible, as i work on my terms and conditions. i am willing to fit last minute accommodation if it works with my personal schedule but i can also take time out of my day if needed to walk a dog etc. i unfortunately cannot have pets in my building but i am more than willing and able to go to anyone else’s beloved home to pet sit, or walk, or feed animals. i come in with a soft expression and wait for the animals to get used to me and my scent and then i wait for their approval to come further in their home/space. i am very careful to not touch them when they don’t want to be touched and i am always patient with animals especially if they’re new to my route.

About: I have owned, raised and loved all kinds of dogs my entire life. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personality types! Dogs have always been apart of my life and bring me so much happiness! I have trained my own dogs to walk on leash. I have also trained them to perform tricks such as shake, sit, lay down and “ready”. I have attended obedience classes with my own dogs and learned how to deal with behavioral problems such as overactive issues, jumping and potential aggression. For dog sitting I will ensure your dog or cat is safe, happy, and well cared for every time I come and visit. I would be so honored to come and walk or pet sit for you.

Jennifer stayed in my home and took care of my Shar-pei Chuffy. This is the first time I've used a service to take care of my dog. She was totally reliable and kept me updated with texts and photos. She won over my standoffish boy and he fell completely in love with her. I would recommend her to anyone.

About: I own a GSD/Shar Pei Mix named Moose and have learned a lot since rescuing her in 2023. I've been volunteering at local shelters since then where I care for dogs of varying ages. Earlier this year, I completed a three-month internship with the Penn Vet Working Dog Center where we trained dogs in obedience, agility, scent work, husbandry, and more. I'm currently working part-time and studying to become a dog trainer. So I'm looking for every opportunity to walk and care for dogs of any ages and size to get all the experience I can! I will generally be available after 2pm on weekdays and am flexible on the weekends. I am very laid back and will work with you on whatever works best for walks/letting them out to stretch their legs and have some fun.

Philip is one of the best dog sitters EVER! He was so caring and attentive. Chewbacca, our oldest, is very anxious and hates our leaving; we came home to him being completely content, as if we never left. And Philip took on babysitting Mika, a five-month-old puppy with a TON of energy -no problem, they got along great. The house was well cared for, the communication excellent. I can't recommend him highly enough.

About: I have 4 years experience caring for pets, including dogs and cats of various sizes and breeds. Throughout my life, I have been the go-to person for family, friends, and neighbors to watch, feed, and walk their beloved pets whenever they travel. I have hands-on experience managing feeding schedules, administering basic care, and providing plenty of companionship. Animals naturally trust me, and I take their safety and well-being very seriously. I currently live with my roommate's three wonderful cats, so my daily life is already filled with purrs, playtime, and a lot of love for animal! I have immediate and full-time availability to care for your pets in the comfort of their own home. Because I have a highly flexible schedule, I am available 7 days a week, including weekends and holidays, for both House Sitting and Drop-in Visits. My routine allows me to dedicate my full attention to your furry family members, ensuring they maintain their usual schedules for feeding, walks, and playtime without any stress. I am punctual, reliable, and ready to start welcoming new clients right away! I am very mindful of safety both inside and outside the home. I make sure doors and gates are always securely locked, and during walks, I am always alert to the surroundings to keep your pet safe. I am also very clean and respectful of your space, and I am happy to water your plants or collect your mail if needed! I handle unexpected situations with a calm and reasoning mind

Judy was fantastic taking care of our dachshund. Dachshunds require specific care to protect their spine, and lots of patience as they can be very stubborn. Judy was excellent proving Rocky the exact care he needed. She was a pleasure to work with. We are so lucky to have had her care for our fur-baby.

Kristen was an absolute amazing pet/housesitter. We are so happy we found her to watch our two pups. She is great with communicating, she is punctual, takes great care with our house, and is very kind and caring with the pups. We plan on contacting her to help with our girls again, and would highly recommend her to anyone

Maddie was just what our family needed. She is responsible and a good communicator- our two Goldens really felt relaxed around her and she gave them really good care. Maddie even got our one storm-phobic dog through two Thunderstorms and they had all their needs met. We felt completely at ease being out of town and leaving Maddie in charge.

Absolutely fantastic care and professionalism for our pets. Kind, caring and detail oriented. Great with both dogs and cats. They made our vacation special because we could see how well the pets were cared for — their wonderful, regular communication was superb! I highly recommend and would love to use their services again.

I couldn’t be happier with Tetiana’s services. I felt at ease knowing my pets were well taken care of. She kept me informed of anything out of the ordinary with my pets and she shared pictures and videos which reassured me that all my little ones were enjoying her company. I was really surprised to see my two most timid kittens warm up to her and be out of hiding while she was here. Normally those same two kittens hide until strangers leave my house even with me around. So that just made me feel at ease, all the pets loved her and felt comfortable enough to be out and spend time with her.

FAQs for House Sitting - Deer Park

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Deer Park on Rover is $47.18 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 7,402 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:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
