“Imani did a great job house-sitting and watching my cat, Penny! She provided updates everyday and was quick to respond to messages! She left the place spotless and Penny loved her! I would definitely recommend her and will be reaching out to her again in the future!”
“Lauren was a fantastic house sitter! She sent daily updates and pictures to let us know everything was going great. She showed up on time and communicates very clearly. My house was clean and she even washed the sheets and took out the garbage. My three dogs were happy and well taken care of when we arrived home. I would highly recommend her and will hopefully use her again in the future!”
“Victoria watched our two huskies and did an amazing job. The dogs clearly love her peaceful and fun disposition. She took them on walks, followed our requests for their care, and kept the house in tip top shape. Big Victoria fan!!!”
“I had Drew house sit and watch my dog and cat for two weeks while I was out of the country. I was super nervous about leaving my pets for so long, but Drew did an awesome job! I was able to relax while on vacation. I received updates and photos of my pets and they were at ease with Drew. My cat in particular could not get enough cuddle time with him. Everything was clean and my pets were happy and safe once I finally made it home. I will definitely request Drew again in the future!”
About: I grew up on a farm raising all kinds of animals. I have been the resident pet sitter in my family and small town since I was a teenager. I am an animal biologist, comfortable and experienced with all taxa! I am currently working part time and will have ample free time during the winter months to be a helping hand for pet parents in need. I am a great communicator and like to update pet parents throughout my stays. I have a keen attention to detail and will follow any specific instructions required.
“Jessica did a great job with our two greyhounds and two cats while we were away. She was responsive and took great care of everyone. We came back to a spotless house and happy pets!”
“Our dogs had such a good time with Scott that they were actually sad to see him go when we returned from our trip! I am sure they will be elated next time they see him. Scott is easygoing, communicative, and has our full trust. We're so glad to have found Scott and know our pups are in good hands with him!”
“Bethany took great care of our boys while we were out of town. She sent updates and pictures multiple times throughout her time dog/house sitting for us. We will def have her watch them again for our future vacations. Highly recommended to take care of your fur babies.”
“Had a great experience with Daniel watching Caesar! Felt very comfortable being away a few days knowing my boy was in great hands! Daniel checked in with me multiple times and even sent over some pictures ?”
“We hired Brendan to stay at our house for our week long trip to watch our Orange Tabby, Popsicle. We had a list of things we wanted him to do on a daily basis for Popsicle and he was diligent in following that list. We received a morning and evening photo and corresponding with Brendan was very easy. Brendan cares deeply for being on time and being responsible and was certainly a professional pet sitter for our cat who we love so much.”
About: I grew up with dogs and have always loved animals! I've been a pet and house sitter for friends and family for over a decade, and I'll show the same care for your pet and space that you do! I work evenings so I would have availability in the morning and early afternoon. I would also be available for pet care full time on the weekends. I will always make sure your pet gets the full attention and care they deserve! Your home will be left just as clean as I found it, and I will treat it with respect.
“Thor and Lilac absolutely adore Katjerine, which tells me everything I need to know. They’re always happy and comfortable with her, and I have complete peace of mind knowing they’re in such good hands. She’s dependable, caring, and clearly a true dog person. I wouldn’t hesitate to have her watch them again. Highly recommend!”
About: I have been a passionate pet owner and caretaker since I was 9 years old. Growing up with dogs and now the owner of two cats, I learned early on how to understand their body language and fun personalities. Whether your pet is an energetic puppy or a calm senior cat, I treat every animal like family. I currently work a full time job, but I only go into the office twice a week. I am available to work from your home if needed to provide company to your pet. I am also available for morning and evening feeding, as well as weekend visits too. When caring for pets in a client's home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal as possible. I strictly follow instructions for feeding, medication, and exercise. I send daily photo updates and messages through Rover to give owners peace of mind. I also respect the home by cleaning up after the pets, keeping the space tidy, and following all household rules.
“SO greatful for Stella! She was incredibly communicative and reliable—our dog was so happy with her while we were away. A literal dream come true for my anxious-brain; Stella was the best pet sitter I’ve ever employed. We will be using her exclusively moving forward and highly recommend her to anyone searching for someone who truly cares about your animal and will allow you invaluable peace of mind while you’re away.”
“Katie was amazing with our 2 shepherds. We know they can be a handful but she made us feel comfortable leaving them in her care for the weekend. She sent lots of pictures and updates to put our minds at ease and gave them all the play, treats, and attention they asked for! Definitely will book with Katie again next time we are out of town.”
About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and have experience caring for a wide variety of pets, including dogs, puppies, senior dogs, cats, horses, turtles, and guinea pigs. Whether it’s keeping up with an energetic puppy who needs patience and consistency, or providing gentle, attentive care for a senior dog with a slower pace, I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s unique needs. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and will care for your pets as if they were my own! When I’m not at the barn riding horses, I love spending my downtime outdoors, especially taking walks after work to unwind. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely enjoy being around animals and making sure they get the attention, exercise, and love they deserve. While I’d love to have a dog of my own someday, I’m not in a position to right now, so I cherish every opportunity to spend time with furry friends. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I’m always happy to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Monday and Friday evenings work best for me, and my weekend availability depends on what I have planned. That said, I’m flexible and will do my best to make my schedule work whenever possible! For dog walks, I always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine. I’ll make sure they get plenty of exercise, fresh water afterward if needed, and lots of love and attention along the way. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions you have, whether that’s avoiding certain routes, reinforcing training, administering simple care like wiping paws, or giving treats with your permission. My goal is to make every walk fun, safe, and stress-free while treating your dog like they’re my own.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life! I love animals and currently have an Anatolian Shepherd who is 4. I am good with big and small dogs. I also have a cat! I work part-time with great flexibility for mornings & afternoons even some evenings, allowing me to easily adapt to your pet's specific routine, potty breaks, and daily exercise needs anytime. Whether in my home or yours, safety and trust are my top priorities. I strictly follow your pet's exact feeding, potty, and medication routines to keep them comfortable and stress-free. In your home, I respect your space and keep environments completely secure. In mine, I ensure a fully pet-proofed, supervised setting, keeping you updated with photos along the way.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Deer Park
I cannot say enough positive things about Kylie’s care, conscientiousness, and thoughtfulness while caring for our puppy and older dog. She was so communicative throughout her week-long stay at our home. She sent pictures every day and even showed us a map of her walks with them! They were not only taken care of; they were loved and centered in Kylie’s week. She let us know how they were doing frequently and really got to know their personalities—she gave them snuggles and love in ways we couldn’t while we were gone, and we are so grateful. She is fantastic and we highly recommend her to anyone! We have already passed her name to friends. We will be repeats on her roster, and you should be too!
Megan and Lee did an outstanding job sitting with our two goofy girls for a 9 day period. Communication was excellent and timely. They took care of the house as well while we were away and went well beyond our expectations. We’ll definitely use again if they’re available and highly recommend them to others. Thank you Megan and Lee!
David was professional and easy to talk to. He sent us pictures about once a day so we could see his bonding with the animals. It was a relief to know they were well cared for. He also stayed overnights with them for the three day duration. The house condition when we returned was as if we never left. We will be using David again in the future.
Anna was great! Will absolutely be booking again. My two dogs were happy to see me when i got home, but not too happy-- that's how i can tell they got lots of attention and play time. Anna was conscientious and responsible, it was clear the dogs were fed, happy, and loved. And i think my house looked better than how i left it. It was obvious from the meet and greet that Anna is smart, mature, and takes dog care seriously. Can 100% recommend!
Tarani is beyond excellent with our 3 dogs. We feel confident and relaxed when we go out of town knowing she is staying over with them. They have gotten to know her very well, and miss her when she’s gone. Tarani knows how to deal with difficult situations- our one dog forced her way through our fence to escape and join Tarani and our other dog on a walk. Tarani remains calm and gets everyone to safety. Thank you!!! She’s also determined, even though Lucy refuses to go on walks, she still tries daily to see if she has changed her mind; I know one day Lucy will agree to go! 😅 Tarani we are so lucky that you agree to watch our pets. Thank you!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Deer Park is $37 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $78 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.

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:
- 90% 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.
