“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!”
About: My connection with animals involves compassion, patience and communication. I have experience taking dogs for walks and home sitting with pets for an extended period. As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide pet care part-time. I’m generally most available on weekends, with additional availability throughout the week. I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment for every pet in my care. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions and respect the pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks and any other needs they might have.
“Jess really is the best! We just moved to the area and were looking for a reliable sitter for our fur baby - we have only ever trusted family or friends to watch him prior. Jess was communicative the whole time, sending updates multiple times a day, making us feel very at ease with the care Gordon was getting. When we got home our house was cleaner than we left it and Gordon was very happy and well taken care of. Well will definitely be using Jess for future needs!”
“Elizabeth was amazing! Her communication was super and she took fantastic care of my dogs. She left my house in great condition, everything clean and neat. I would highly recommend!”
“Could not ask for a better pet sitter, Bethany took exceptional care of our two dogs while we were on a four day trip. Kept us continually updated, Porche and Lexi were in great hands, loved the care she provided and Bethany kept us updated on their status throughout. Her attention to details and care of both pets and home were exceptional. We will be a repeat customer - Thank You”
“Olivia has been incredibly reliable in taking care of my pups. She’s always so great about sending photos will I’m away and making sure everything not only with my babies but with the house is taken care of. Thank you, Olivia for being a great dog and house sitter! We couldn’t do it without you!”
“We couldn’t recommend Debbie enough!!!! She was (miraculously) available fairly last minute for our trip and from the word go, she was top notch! Our home and puppy Philomena were so well cared for while we were away. Debbie sent us plenty (but not too many) of snapshots and occasional videos of Phil living her best life while we were away. Thank you Debbie for being Phil’s new friend and we can’t wait to have you back again!. 5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️, ‘no notes’ as the saying goes. 🥰.”
“Gabi was great and we look forward to using her again in the future! Amazing communication, quick response, lots of updates and pictures and most importantly… happy dogs!! It was a relief to not be worried while we were away for a few days.”
“Cheyenne kept my house clean, sent photos and updates. But most importantly she made friends with my high anxiety dog, so I know she special took time to make him feel comfortable.”
“Alex is a fantastic pet sitter. The instructions for my senior cat can be a bit complicated - Alex took care of her and our golden retriever so well. Highly recommend. She left our house the way we left it, was very communicative, and trustworthy person.”
“Heather was an excellent care provider for my cat! She made sure he was fed. She cleaned the litter box and she even cleaned up throw up. My cat gets sick a lot. She was a big help to me. I highly recommend her. I would love to have her again!!”
“Nina is extraordinary. Her dedication to my dog and her daily photos and messages made leaving my dog in her care much easier than ever. My latest trip was the longest I had ever left my dog in someone’s care and Nina put all my worries to rest. She took excellent care of Delilah and of our home. I couldn’t have asked for more. Even when my return flight was delayed she stayed with Delilah until I finally landed. Nina will now be our regular sitter whenever I travel. She is amazing! Thank you Nina!”
“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.”
“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 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.
“Noa did a phenomenal job taking care of my boys. She made sure they were good, sent plenty of pictures and videos and even stayed longer sometimes to make sure they weren’t by themselves too long. Would definitely recommend and use again! They were in great hands”
“Lily is excellent. She took excellent care of our home - during a blizzard no less and even better care of our dogs. She is kind, and very responsive. I cannot say enough good things about lily. We highly recommend her.”
About: I am a 24 year old college kid studying Disaster Management. I love animals and have been around them my whole life. Big dogs are my fave but who do not like cuddling with a lap dog?? I can walk your dog feed them. What ever you need with your dogs I can provide. I have one dog at home his name is Murphy!!! He is a 75 lb golden doodle, ball of fur. He loves other dogs and loves to play. Because of that your dog will never get bored even if I have to leave the house to go do something. I also love walking dogs! Since I could walk I have been walking dogs! I am working part time but I build my own schedule. I always take my dogs on walks every day. Or let them play in my large fenced in backyard I have a large fenced yard for the dogs to play in. There is never a need to worry when I am watching your dog.
About: Hi! My name is Brittany, I’m 34 years old and I’ve been around dogs my entire life, caring for them has always come naturally to me. From playful puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and attention, I understand that every dog has their own unique personalities and needs. I recently said goodbye to my beloved Shih Tzu after many wonderful years together, and while I miss having a dog of my own every day, it reminded me just how much joy I get from spending time with them. After more than 14 years in the service industry, I’ve developed a strong sense of reliability, attentiveness, and communication, and my new job with shorter shifts gives me the flexibility to dedicate plenty of time to caring for your pets. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, house sitting, or simply keeping them company, I’ll treat your furry family member with the same love, patience, and care I’d want for my own. My flexible work schedule allows me plenty of time throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and giving pets the attention and companionship they deserve. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, so caring for your pet feels less like a task and more like something I genuinely love doing. Whether it’s maintaining their normal routine, providing extra cuddles, or simply keeping them company while you’re away, I’m happy to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I focus on keeping them comfortable, happy, and as close to their normal routine as possible. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, whether that includes feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, or extra attention and patience. I recently cared for my own Shih Tzu through health challenges, which gave me experience with administering medications, being attentive to changing needs, and providing extra love and patience for a pet who needed it most. I understand that your home is your pet’s safe space, and I’ll treat both your pet and your home with the same respect and care I would my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

This was our second time having Elizabeth dogsit for a weeklong stay and once again she was fantastic! Our girl loves all the cuddles and fetch that Elizabeth always happily provides. She gave at least daily updates and always ensures our girl is as comfortable as possible. Once again she left our house cleaner than when we left, we will definitely book her again!
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!
Daniel was great - excellent communication and great with the pups. One of our pups took an instant liking to him and was asking for belly rubs during the meet and greet. We hired him to house sit during our wedding weekend and he even walked the dogs up to our wedding venue so we could take pictures with them on the day.
Joseph was superb and stayed in constant communication with me and took wonderful care of my German Shepherd (Zak). Zak has some anxiety issues and was nippy on Joseph's first day but he worked through it and rapidly gained Zaks trust and affection I will be coming back for sure on my next trip
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!

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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!

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.
