About: Hi neighbors! I’m Jennifer, a dedicated and experienced animal lover with a strong background in professional dog handling and facility care at fast-paced daycares (like Camp Bow Wow and Lucky Dog), I know how to keep pups safe, happy, and well-cared for. Because my main morning schedule at a dog daycare wraps up early, I have open availability every afternoon for regular walks, midday potty breaks, and drop-in visits. Whether your dog has high energy to burn, needs a reliable midday walk while you're at work, or just some loving companionship, I bring a gentle, structured, and attentive approach to every visit. You’ll get reliable communication, complete peace of mind, and plenty of photo updates while you're away. I'd love to meet you and your furry family members! 🐾✨ Let me know what you need and I can accommodate for you as needed! I’m excited to meet your fur baby and have a good time! I will keep your furbaby safe. Your pets day will be filled with exciting walks, playtime, and lots of love. I’ll make sure they stay active and happy!
About: I grew up with all kinds of dogs and have raised several large breed dogs myself. It currently isn’t the right time for me to welcome a new dog into my life full time but I miss having the company. I’m currently working from home so I have lots of flexibility for cuddles, walks and potty breaks. I’m also a runner and happy to take any high energy dogs out for a tour. I do not have a backyard but am close to parks where we can walk. I have space for a dog bed or crate if needed. My neighborhood is dog friendly.
“Blyth was wonderful with our pets and treated them with great care. She paid close attention to their needs and even played stimulating games with them. She left the house spotless and was very respectful of our belongings. I would highly recommend her to anyone.”
“Lexie was (is) a wonderful caretaker! She has a gentle demeanor that won over our anxious shelter pup. She sent lots of great photos, and was able to coax him to go on a solo walk rather than wait for us. when he realized she was leaving he’d bonded with her enough that he said goodbye!”
About: My promise is to love your dog as much I love mine! I can walk with them and not rush. Dogs need to smell the roses ... grass .... their corner ... yes, take it all in! I've only walked my dog and daughter's so I'm relatively new to doggies. A dog will always always see a person's love and heart. I hope you have dog poop bags .... it's a pet peeve of mine. I truly believe in being a poop svooper. Take the memories with you, leave nothing behind! Allow me to watch your fur baby just like I take care of mine! I will also provide a quick description of dog's activities while I care for them which gives you peace. XO
About: I have a small friendly dog of my own and grew up in a pet friendly home with a mother who worked at the zoo so I have a lot of experience with many different types of dogs I’m available all day til 630pm I work nights I’m available all day Wednesday and Thursday also but feel free to reach out and we can work something out I’m very kind to people and animals all in the same I believe they deserve to be treated right and with integrity and kindness like everyone
“Rachel took care of our two dogs and our home for several days. She kept us in the loop; sent us pics of the pups; and made us feel completely comfortable while we were away. Our dogs seemed happy and well-cared-for upon our return. We'd be happy to book her again.”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, and I can’t imagine it any other way. Right now, I have two sweet senior cats and one young pup who keep me company. Because of them, I know the importance of patience, love, and consistency when it comes to caring for pets. I enjoy walking, hiking, and training dogs, and I have just as much love for cats. I live in a wonderful neighborhood with nearby parks, dog parks, and beautiful streets—perfect for fun, safe walks and happy pets. I’m currently in night school from 5–10:30 PM and typically wake up around 9 AM, which means my days are wide open for pet care. I already go on daily walks and hike weekly, so fitting your pet into my routine feels completely natural. I keep a consistent daily rhythm while staying flexible around your pet’s needs. I live in a spacious one-bedroom apartment in a walkable neighborhood with lots of nearby parks, perfect for daily walks and outdoor time. I have plenty of room for a crate if needed, and I can create a separate, comfortable space for your pet if they need some quiet or alone time.
“Kamilla is fantastic! Its really hard to find someone attentive and responsible; Kamilla embodies both! She was great with the boys, asked questions if she was uncertain abput something and she is super communicative. We look forward to having her back.”
“We had a great experience with Giovanna for house sitting and watching our two dogs. They love her and they were very well cared for, as was our home, while we were away! We would definitely use her service again!”
“Coy was awesome. Our pups can be a handful but he did great with them and stayed in communication with us which made leaving them so much easier. He is definitely going to be our go to sitter/dog walker.”
About: My love for animals is genuine. They've been a part of my life since childhood. I often pet sit for my friends and family alike. While being cared for in my home, our four legged friends will enjoy playing fetch, hide and seek, tug of war, and of course getting cuddles too. I welcome elderly dogs as well. I have experience in administering medications, assisting elderly dogs with walking issues, hip issues, along with the blind, and the deaf dogs; they are all welcome and well taken care of here. I do allow most dogs on some furniture with a blanket provided by the owner. However, I do not allow them in beds. * I only accept dogs from one family at a time, and I only can accommodate 2 dogs at once. *. (There is an increase in my rates during the Christmas and Thanksgiving Holidays, that differs from other Holidays.) I have an open calendar most of the time. I do not work outside the home, and I have plenty of time for your pets. All our four legged friends get spoiled in the house of Morris. I have a fenced yard. I live near several parks, and there are many trails around my neighborhood with 2 dog parks in the area. *I will only take them to the dog park with the owners approval.*
“We cannot thank Taylor enough for watching our dogs while we were away. We met her prior to the trip and the dogs were happy with her instantly (I enjoyed chatting with her too). During our time away, she checked in a few times and I had no worries that the dogs were enjoying their time with her in the comfort of their own home. She left the house in perfect condition and I could tell that the dogs had been well cared for while we were gone. I highly recommend her, and would absolutely have her care for our dogs in the future. We all were so lucky to have found her!”
“I reached out to Emily last minute for a weeklong trip after a bad experience with a previous dog sitter. Emily was responsive, flexible and made sure I was comfortable / trusted her before we left town. She took great care of our dogs and our home in Evergreen. I will absolutely reach out again for future dog sitting needs!”
“Thank you to Caroline for taking such good care of our boys! She stayed with them two weekends in a row and kept them happy, active and entertained. So grateful to have found her!”
“Thanks to Morgan my pup and two cats are taken care of, all cozy in their own home. Great job with my babies, and the place looked great when we got back. I do appreciate the peace of mind when we’re gone.”
About: I am certified as a dog trainer, and have done rover through my home for years. My love dogs of all shapes and sizes, i am very physically active but also love a good snuggle on the couch, so if your pup loves long walks, short strolls, or prefer to chill at home, i’m equipped for it all! I go to school, and work part time, but my schedule is luckily very flexible due to the fact that I am a nanny, and many of my classes are online! so i am totally able to take care of your furry friend at any hour. I am a very laid back person. I prefer my nights to be in hanging around the house, and since i am currently at school, studying! I will more likely than not be hanging out and giving your furry loved one whatever their little heart desires. since i am a dog trainer, and have had many pets of my own, i am very in tune to the cues for most animals. my goal is to always show the same amount of love and care you would yourself, to limit the stress on the pup of a new person around!
“Kasey did a wonderful job watching our dog. She was flexible even with us looking for someone last minute. She did a great job with our pup and even seems to leave our house looking cleaner than we left it! I would definitely recommend having her watch your pets if you need someone.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Deer Trail
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 260 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Deer Trail. 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 Trail 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 Trail 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 Trail 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.

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.
