About: I am a lifelong dog lover and owner. Started at 7 years old with my own boxer; now my eldest is 6 with my own dog and house. Usually take care of family and friends’ dogs, excited to share my love of dogs and outdoors with the world ! Currently a stay at home dad for two lovely boys (aged 4 and 6). Also we have a 10 month old bernedoodle that we love so much. So typically we are up early and get them to school by 9am, then I am free until 3 pm when I have to pick the lads up from school. Around 5 pm I can resume doing my walks etc well into the night; I have flashlights and reflective vests for extra visibility. I have a fenced yard with about 1/4 acre of yard space that is mostly covered with grass. I am a very attentive and active dog owner. Ex law enforcement and property inspector so I am always vigilant, proactive, and respectful of someone’s home

About: I enjoy cats and dogs as I have had my own, currently pet sit for my roommates cats while she’s on vacation. Cuddle puddles are my favorite pastime Evenings and weekends are preferred, can be flexible. I can do drop ins anytime past 6pm on the weekdays and anytime on the weekends. Emergency calls can also be arranged. I care for pets by slowly introducing myself, first by smell then when comfortable, by touch. I give treats when warranted, but ensure no over feeding/snacking. Lastly I cuddle with pets who are most comfortable.

About: Raised a feisty Wheaten Terrier from a pup. Former owner of a chihuahua, poodle and German Shepherd. I’ve been walking dogs the last 5 years, currently walking 2 mid-day Monday-Thursday. I’m currently retired and I have plenty of availability. I volunteer delivering food on Tuesday mornings, but could still fit in walks or drop ins. I’m reliable and will work with your schedule. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly Wheaten Terrier. We live in a quiet low traffic area which is safe for taking walks.

About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs for 15+ years. I’m the person who stops mid-conversation because a dog walked by. I have a senior chihuahua named Mia! I am reliable, attentive, and fully prepared to become your dog’s second favorite person. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, so your pet won’t be squeezed into my day — they’ll basically become part of it. Walks, playtime and random conversations included. I’ll follow your pet’s routine, rules and preferences exactly — because you know them best. I’m attentive, patient and big on making sure they feel safe, comfortable and loved while you’re away.

About: I have experience in overnight dog sitting around my neighborhood. Multiple people have relied on me to walk, feed, and stay overnight with their animals. I currently quitting my full time job therefore my schedule is very flexible and open. With being unemployed I am prioritizing this as my main job at the moment! I will let them out/walk them in the morning and feed them. Depending on the dog, I usually let them out every 4-5 hours. Depending on the instructions from the owner, I would go by that according for any other care.

About: I have cared for and kept safe pets of all species, all ages, and all medical requirements for many years. The more humans I meet the more I love animals ! 😉 I’m retired so my schedule is extremely flexible for drop-ins, playing, giving medications on schedule, feeding and spending some time with pets so they’re not lonely. When I go to a clients home I try to make it a welcome visit and hope that their dog is happy to see me. I let them out or walk them, whichever one I’ve been instructed to do, to go potty then its play time & hang out time.

About: What sets me apart is my professional experience as a dog trainer specializing in behavior modification and working with challenging dogs, including reactive, fearful, and aggressive cases. I understand canine body language, behavior, and communication, allowing me to safely manage situations that many sitters may not be comfortable handling. I provide a structured, calm environment with clear boundaries, enrichment, and individualized care tailored to each dog’s needs. Whether caring for puppies, adult dogs, or seniors, my focus is on building confidence, reinforcing good behavior, and ensuring every dog feels safe, secure, and understood while in my care. Pet care is my full-time career. As a professional dog trainer and pet sitter, caring for dogs is a daily part of my routine. I work closely with both pets and their owners to provide training, exercise, structure, and companionship. My goal is to help create happier, well-balanced dogs while making life easier and more enjoyable for their families. I prioritize safety, structure, and trust in every interaction. I follow each pet’s routine, provide appropriate exercise and enrichment, maintain a secure environment, and communicate regularly with owners. As a professional dog trainer and sitter, I focus on creating a positive experience that keeps pets happy, safe, and well cared for.

About: Always feel the warmth of dogs of my family & friends . Usually they run to me right away! Love to play games & take long walks with your dog. Since I’m not currently employed, I’m available full time & on short notice. It’s so important to keep a consistent routine with your pet so they feel comfortable. I prefer taking care of pets in their home environment. I can drive long distance if needed. Looking forward to getting to know your pet & starting a strong companionship right away.

“Lily has been watching our pups and house sitting for us for the last year and we are so lucky to have her! She takes amazing care of our three pups (a very shy and particular husky, a golden, and a super high energy Dutch shepherd). She manages each pups personality beautifully and all three love her, which is a big deal considering our girl dog is very particular with who she lets care for her! We never have to worry when we go away because we know that the dogs love Lily and she has a ton of experience to manage all of the different breeds and their needs! She also takes amazing care of our home and our fish while she’s here! We can’t recommend Lily highly enough!”

About: I’ve been around dogs for as long as I can remember. Growing up in a ranch-style home, we had dogs of many different breeds, sizes, and personalities, so caring for them has always been a natural part of my life. I’ve also had dogs of my own since I was around 14 and have cared for them through every stage of life, from playful younger years to their senior years. Because of that, I’m comfortable with different temperaments, routines, energy levels, and the extra patience older dogs may need. I truly enjoy being around dogs and would care for your pet with the same attention and affection I give my own. I work during the week, but I’m available before and after work, in the evenings, and on weekends. I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual routine for walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always follow the owner’s instructions carefully. I make sure pets are supervised, comfortable, and safe, and I’m attentive to their individual routines, personalities, and needs. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos while they’re in my care.

“Michelle was awesome!!!! She dropped in on my cat when I went away. She was reliable, communicative, and even brought my mail and packages in for me! My sweet guy gets so sick in the car so I hate to try and board him but I was so worried about leaving him alone. Michelle eased my fears and relieved my worries. I highly recommend Michelle and I’d definitely ask her to sit for me again.”

Kristina was very kind towards our pets. She spent quality time with them providing the attention and love they deserve to make us feel better while away from them. Her report cards and photos were big highlights of our day while on our trip and her promptness and level of care put us at ease. She spent quality time with our pets and quickly learned all of their personality traits which had us laughing hysterically with certain report cards. We highly reccommend Kristina and will be rebooking her services anytime we have to go away.

Great sitter. Always came on time and went above and beyond what was asked. Kept me up to date with what my cat was doing, sent pictures and played with him. The questions she asked during our meet and greet solidified her for me. Really felt she was knowledgeable and experienced. Will definitely book again when needed!

Time and time again Maya has gone above and beyond to meet her client's needs. I had an unexpected 10+ day hospital stay. I called Maya that day and she accommodated all my needs. My cats adore her. She sends videos/pics/updates. Because of Maya, my hospital stay was less stressful knowing my babies were being cared for. She's so reliable, professional and truly cares about the pets she takes on. Thank you from the bottom of my ❤️

Sam was amazing with my dog, Jade! Jade is very high energy, and Sam never seemed to get tired of playing with her. She was super reliable, easy to communicate with, and clearly cared so much about Jade. I felt completely at ease while I was away, and Jade was happy, relaxed, and very well cared for when I got back. I would absolutely recommend Sam to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy dog sitter! 🐾

Lilian was an absolute joy to work with. My anxious staffy warmed up real quick and ended up having the least amount of stress ever while I was traveling. Lilian went above and beyond for my pup; reading stories, plenty of attention, and giving lots of love to make sure my pup was loved and cared for. Your furry friend will be in great hands!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Deer Park

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Deer Park is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 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 23,685 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:

  • 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 87% 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.
