“As a first time rover members and first time fur parents of an amazing little 4 months frenchie name Kali my bf and I were a little nervous and hesitant to leaver her with a new person. However, Karishma made it so easy and made us feel so comfortable in reassuring us that kali is in great care. I can not thank Karishma and her family enough for all the love and great care they give to Kali, her entire family loves Kali and cares for her as one of their own I 10000% recommend Karishma to anyone looking for a genuine dog lover and professional! Their vegetarian diet has helped my Kali with her sensitive stomach and as i said i cant thank her and her family enough for how amazing care they take of Kali. P.S I will always be booking with karishma moving forward ?”

About: Cozy area, lots of attention, run with dog, walk around yard, can meet my dogs! Lots of playtime, food & water, outside time. I’ve owned dogs for over 10 years in my family, I’ve dogsat before in a clients home for a week, whom was also a diabetic, so I had to also give insulin. I am a huge dog lover, and always love being around them. We can go to dog parks, take plenty of walks around the neighborhood, and have great treats! I hope to provide great hospitality for your dog or dogs, and have them enjoy their time just as much as I would be. By letting me watch your dogs, I will make sure we all have the best time together! **please ask about availability during the week as the options on here aren’t the best** I have a full time job during the week.. On weekdays I am usually available on Mondays after 6pm, Tuesdays after 5pm, and Fridays after 5pm! Weekends vary, I’ll do my best to keep my calendar updated! It depends on what the client wants me to do to care for them! Making sure they go to the bathroom, hanging out with them inside, taking them for a walk, etc. overall, I like to make sure the pet(s) are getting attention and being entertained.

She sent me pictures of my babies throughout the day and reassured me that they were safe and sound and well fed while I was gone. Couldn’t recommend her more!”

About: What sets me apart is the genuine love, patience, and attention I give to every pet in my care. I treat every animal like family and take the time to learn their unique personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pet is playful and energetic, shy and nervous, or simply loves a cozy nap, I’m happy to meet them where they’re comfortable. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I enjoy making time for it! I’m able to provide consistent attention, playtime, walks, cuddles, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. I understand that every pet has their own schedule and needs, so I’m happy to follow their usual routine as closely as possible. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow their normal routines as closely as possible, including meals, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and rest. I give each pet plenty of one-on-one attention and make sure they have a clean, safe, and comfortable environment. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Most importantly, I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family!

Besides those days, I’m free all throughout the week at any time! I have plenty of experience staying at my client’s home including overnight stays. I will make sure to respect any rules my clients have and care for their home the way I’d want someone to care for my own.

About: Hi there! I’am Kostas, a passionate animal lover with 4 years of experience in pet care. I’ve had the pleasure of caring for dogs, cats, and other furry friends providing them with love, attention, and cuddles. I work part-time, with a schedule that changes weekly, but I have availability in the mornings, evenings, and nights. When I’m working, my girlfriend, who also loves and cares for animals, helps take care of your pet to ensure they always receive attention and care. Feel free to reach out, and we can find a time that works best for your pet’s needs! Before each visit, I review the pets information including the routines, diet and any medical conditions.

About: I grew up with a white retriever named Daisy for 13 years until she passed away. I currently have 2 cats, and I have 3 guinea pigs! I adore all types of animals and I love giving them hugs and kisses! I will make sure that I will always be on time and keep the house as clean as you left it! For the month of October, daytime requests are better for me because I am a scare actor at a haunted house most evenings! I work another job during the day certain days but the shifts are not long! I will always have my eye on your pet at all times. I believe that trust between a human and an animal is something that is developed over time, and I will make sure that I will be respectful of your pets boundaries and make sure that stay as safe as possible.

I’m currently looking for full-time work and working part-time currently, so I am very flexible with my timing. I am around during the week and most weekends.

I give lots of attention, maintain routines, and keep pet parents updated with photos and notes.

“We are so glad we had Sam! She stayed in touch with us throughout the week. We gave her quite the task —taking care of a 14 1/2 year old husky and a 5 year old energetic golden doodle for almost a week! We felt so comfortable with her especially because she was so proactive in checking in. She stayed in our house for the week and even when we came back the place was super clean and our girls seemed so happy with her time there!! We loved Sam and we will most definitely be reaching out to her again!! Thank you Sam!!!! 💛💛💛”

About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 10 years, and it’s truly my passion! I love getting to know each pet’s unique quirks and routines, whether that means long walks, quiet cuddles, or extra playtime. I’m reliable, gentle, and always make sure your pets feel secure and loved while you’re gone. I'm currently working remotely from home so I have plenty of time to dedicate myself to any pets schedule or routine. I have reliable transport and I am available all throughout the day and night for updates, schedule changes and even just to send pictures when requested so you know your pet is in the best hands and comfortable. I have a fenced in yard and reliable big transport. I am dedicated to commiting to whatever routine or schedule any pet is in need of while their pet parents are away. I have 10 years experience and worked with shelters for all breeds of dogs and all cat personalities from friendly to shy and will be able to make each and every pet comfortable and safe.

Lilian was wonderful to work with. She took care of our dogs (14 and 7months) as well as our chickens. Lilian had no problem with following the instructions for the dogs meds and feeding. I was so nervous to go away with a medical senior but Lilian gave me piece of mind with her calm care, updates and communication. I would definitely recommend Lilian and I would definitely use Lilian again to care for our pets!

FAQs for House Sitting - Deer Park

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Deer Park is $43 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $94 per night. 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 November 2026, there are 16,838 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 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 Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.

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

  • 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
