“Taylor was quick to respond to our dog care request. Upon the meet and greet, it was obvious that she is knowledgeable about caring for senior dogs. Our Nugget enjoyed spending time with her during the drop in visit.”

About: I've grown up with dogs my entire life and have been walking/sitting since high school. I have walked dogs of all sizes and even those that are reactive. I recently moved to Milwaukee from Chicago so I am used to walking dogs in busy cities! I am currently unemployed so I am fully available to help out with your pups! I also have a car here so distance to you is not a problem! My #1 priority is your pups and my safety on our walks. I will never put us in a situation that could go bad. I will also prioritize having your pup trust me on our walks so everything goes smoothly, so if possible meeting your dog prior to our first walk if I have to grab them when you aren't home.

“Brittany took great care of my cat while out of town! It was clear from the get-go that she’s an organized, responsible pet sitter who loves animals and takes their personalities/routines/preferences into account. We appreciated the detailed updates and pictures from each check in, it was reassuring to know our cat was in good hands. Highly recommend Brittany and we’ll definitely work with her again!”

About: My love and experience with animals starts at home with my own two pets, who I care for as part of my family. I’m very hands-on with their health and happiness, from preparing homemade dog food and treats to making sure they receive plenty of exercise, attention, playtime, and love. Over the past three years, I’ve also had the rewarding experience of fostering approximately 33 dogs with Border Tails Rescue, Tiny aln Tall Rescue, Chicago Rescue Authority and Anderson Humane. Fostering has given me experience caring for dogs with different personalities, backgrounds, routines, and needs. I understand that some dogs need extra patience and time to feel safe and comfortable, especially when adjusting to a new environment. Whether I’m boarding your pet, taking them for a walk, or pet sitting, my goal is to provide the same level of care, patience, and affection that I give my own pets. I want every pet in my care to feel safe, loved, comfortable, and right at home. 🐾❤️ I am currently a Special Ed Paraprofessional at a local high school therefore I'm available late afternoons, evenings and open weekends. I’m comfortable giving pets plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and care while making sure they feel safe and happy. My schedule does vary, and on certain weekdays, weekends, school breaks, and days off, I may be available all day. I keep my Rover calendar updated so you can easily see my current availability. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pet, and I’ll always do my best to follow your pet’s normal routine and any special instructions you provide. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you can know how your pet is doing while they’re in my care! Over the past three years, I’ve fostered more than 30 dogs through organizations including Tiny N Tall Rescue, Anderson Humane, Border Tails Rescue, and Chicago Rescue Authority. This experience has allowed me to care for dogs with many different personalities, backgrounds, and needs, teaching me patience, consistency, and how to help dogs feel safe in a new environment. In my home, pets are treated like family with plenty of love, attention, playtime, and cuddles. I also have a private, fenced backyard where dogs can safely enjoy outdoor time and play. I follow each pet’s normal routine and strive to make their stay feel like a comfortable home away from home.

About: I’ve taken care of every kind of dog since I was 15. Neighbors, friends, family have all relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their fur babies. I’m an animal lover who used to be a jr. Naturalist; I love all animals. I’m currently working a before school care program and an after school care program with the park district. I am available for walking pets starting at 9am-3pm (Monday- Friday) all year round. For pet setting it depends on the time and date. I live in a townhouse with a family friendly neighborhood; I don’t have a fenced in yard, however, I do have a park that we can let them ran around. Your pet won’t be lonely in our home we have a fur baby ourselves, Nigel (west highland terrier). I would look after your fur baby like my own, walks three to four times a day, fed as often as needed, play time, love and compassion. Your fur baby is apart your family and will be cared for that way.

About: I know life gets busy and you may need someone to stop in I would love to meet you and your fur babies. I’ve been pet sitting for puppies, older dogs, hedgehogs, rabbits, birds, cats, reptiles and Guinea pigs. I’m currently working part time but open my availability to all over night pet sitting or animal care that is needed so it’s nice to make my own schedule. I can do drop ins or over nights for anxious animals who like to be in their own home. I will listen to what your needs are and do the best I can to make the animal comfortable. Love Long walks outside in anyt weather needed. I have plenty of vouches and referrals off of rover if you’d want to hear some of them :)

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.

“This was my first time using a Rover care giver locally. I've done it in other towns, with success, but have been unable to find someone reliable, with an open schedule. Eileen was able to meet for a "meet and greet" on a few hour's notice, but was able to commit to a next day booking. 3 in my home visits/walks with pictures at each visit and plenty of feedback. She was friendly and nice and Mud, my 65 lb Pit Bull took to her immediately. I'm happy to have come across Eileen and will book her again as the needs present themselves. Thank you, Eileen! You were great!”

“We have never left our dogs with someone before/had someone come over to do drop ins for our dogs, so I was hesitant on trusting a stranger. But at the meet and greet, I knew Sarah was going to be awesome! She was thorough with her questions, got a great understanding of the dogs, even asked questions I didn't think of! I felt our home and dogs were safe with her the entire weekend. She gained our trust instantly (which is not something that happens often)! The dogs loved her and had the best time with her!?”

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Deer Park

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Deer Park is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $33 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 11,562 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Deer Park. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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 .

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Deer Park. On Rover:

  • 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.

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.
