“We can’t thank Rob enough for his kindness and patience with our high energy dog, Pacino. He was the best with him and sent us numerous photos of our sweet boy everyday! You can tell he truly cares”
About: First things first I charge per visit per dog. I have worked at a doggy daycare where I look after dogs, clean up after them as well as bath them. I have been taking care of animals since I was 8 and dogs specifically for 10 years. I currently have 6 dogs that I care for. I have also cared for reptiles, rabbits, and cats. I walk my dogs (yes all 6 of them) daily and I find that I have extra time on my hands that I would love to help others with their pet needs, I do twice daily feedings, bi weekly washings and teeth brushing. I do use corrective action when needed such as squirt bottles with water ( some dogs like it and acts as a nice reward or distraction). I will clap or use a stern voice for corrections if necessary or basic commands like sit, stay, down to refocus their energy into something beneficial. For reward pets and treats of course if allowed, extended walks and or play times. I’ve also cared for injured dogs when necessary and dogs with medical issues that need medication.
“Another perfect booking with Wendy, except this time she helped with more than the dogs. I needed coverage for my mom who just had surgery and Wendy was there to make sure things went smoothly while no one in the family could be home. Trustworthy and compassionate, couldn't ask for more from someone coming into your home!”
“Emma took excellent care of our two dogs while we away. She followed all instructions and was very responsive both before and during our trip. We came home to two happy pups! I would definitely book Emma again the next time we need an overnight sitter.”
“Danielle was amazing with my babies! I got regular updates with pictures and my pups always looked happy and super content to be all over her. And I came home to a clean house. I highly recommend!”
“Annabel was great throughout our whole experience - very communicative, respectful of our home, took amazing care of our dogs, and sent pictures each day so we knew they were happy! We are already planning to use her again and would definitely recommend her to others looking for a reliable pet sitter.”
About: I've been taking care of my best friend's and my neighbors' dogs since before I can remember, and have two very happy and healthy cats myself. I can take care of any animal, but cats and dogs are my favorites. I love to take dogs on walks and playing fetch (even on 100+ degree days) because every dog deserves the best treatment. Pet care is 24/7 for me with two cats, but since it's summertime, I'm able to be free any day of the week at any time to take care of pets, and can spend long amounts of time with pets without having to leave them. I will follow any and all rules and set by you, including feeding times, walk requests and more, as all I want is to ensure your pet is safe, happy, and taken care of properly. I am very enthusiastic about walks and even just playing with and petting dogs, and I just want to make sure pets are happy and healthy😸.
“Angelica is amazing! Our two pups and lizards where taken care of very well. I highly recommend Angelica, she sent me lots of updates and pictures of babies. She also left the house clean and tidy. thank you so much for everything.”
“Alyssa was wonderful! Will use her again! This was my first experience with having a dog sitter and through this site! Would highly recommend! Alyssa came prior to our vacation and met us and lady. Super sweet girl! During our trip she kept in contact since she knew I was nervous and sent lots of pictures! Thank you again Alyssa!”
“Justine did a wonderful job caring for our dog for the first time on two overnight stays. Our 10-year old pup is very anxious with rain and storms, and Justine made sure she was comfortable while we were away. Our dog also takes time to warm up to new people, and Justine was very patient with her, coming to visit several times before our trip to make sure the stay went smoothly. We will definitely call her again if we need someone to watch or walk our dog at our house!”
“Chloe is an absolute gem of a person. Taking exceptional care of my little girl and easing any of my anxieties along the way. I cannot recommend her enough and I cannot wait for her next visit with my little girl!”
“Marissa is so great! She was flexible when my travel arrangements got delayed and sent me lots of pictures of my fur baby. She is very responsive and overall, great to work with!”
About: While I've had dogs for 8+ years, I have learned the importance of training and instructing animals. In the past, I have trained dogs to understand commands such as sit, stand, lie down, paw, and many more. Not only have I focused on training, but I also recognize the importance of exerting energy in which I can play fetch with dogs or even run with them. While I am in classes, I will have plenty of time throughout the days and most nights to watch, walk, and care for your animal. When it comes to hours or even a few minutes, there is always a way to work taking care of your pet into my schedule. The middle of the days are usually harder for me since I am in class, but other than that, I have pretty much open availability. In my own personal home, It would be hard for me to house an animal considering my roommates have both a dog and a cat. I wouldn't want any animal to be reactive so I would have to visit rather than bring to my home. I am more than willing to travel to a destination to care for your animal. I am also able to walk your animal in any area deemed fit and safe for both the animal and myself.
“Victoria was great to work with. She was very timely and provided daily pictures and updates which was nice. We had some last minute changes to our schedule and she was very flexible and willing to stay later into the night to make sure we have coverage for the dogs. We will definitely be using her in the future.”
About: I have extensive experience caring for cats/kittens, dogs/puppies, hamsters, bunnies, fish, chinchillas, ferrets, and more! I have over 5 years of experience as a professional animal care-taker where I cared for all sorts of animals as well as gave advice to customers on individual issues with their pets. My family also owns a farm so I learned a respect for animals at a very young age! Currently I have 2 rambunctious pet ferrets but growing up I had 2 dogs, 2 cats, a bunny, and fish! I have cared for many dogs and puppies in my neighborhood and for family and friends. I love dogs of all sizes and don't mind caring for multiple pets. I am currently a student, so I'll have plenty of time for walks, to play fetch with your energetic puppy, clean up soiled puppy pads, whatever you need! I'm available for housesitting, drop-in visits, and walks. I can take your pups for as many walks as you'd like; I am a very active person who loves walking/hiking! If you have a high-energy dog I can also take them on my daily runs! If your pet is more relaxed, I also love just spending time playing and giving lots of pets.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 8 years old, and I grew up around larger breeds, such as pitbulls. I also have experience with dogs who are aggressive towards other dogs. Taking care of pets is a daily routine and it should always be on a consistent schedule. I always make sure to feed and walk my pets before and after going to work. I also make sure to give them adequate attention and play time. I always make sure to keep pets from getting into things that may harm them or make them sick, and I like to give dogs at least 15-20 of walking time to get their energy out.
About: i work around all different kinds of bread/senior dogs. i have dogs of my own that i personally have trained and care for. animals have been my whole life since i could remember. im a active person that enjoys going on walks with dogs. i also have experience with enrichment activities i currently am available on monday before 9am after 6pm tuesday after 6pm wednesday after 6 pm thursday after 6 pm friday all day saturday untill 6pm sunday before 9am and after 3pm i make sure all items that are not safe for dogs are all put away, i make sure they have water at all times. i do not provide services in my own home. i have enrichment games that all animals can use im completely comfortable with cameras in home and on when im present. cleaning up after myself and furry friends always.

FAQs for House Sitting - Deer Park
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 5,327 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works 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

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.
