“Iví was incredibly kind and communicative, and their deep love for animals was clear from the start. I truly appreciated their warmth and responsiveness, and I look forward to booking together in the future!”
“Lori was great with my two older dogs. I travel a bit and my schedule is really complicated, which Lori handled really well. I have already booked her for a future travel date. Great job Lori”
“We contacted Bree to watch our 2 cats while we were away from the weekend. We didn't know anyone in the area and it was the first time leaving our young cat at home for more than a day. Bree was awesome - she stopped by to meet the cats and see where everything was before we went away. She provided great pictures of the cats during all visits and they seemed to warm to her really well! She spent time playing with them and I feel that she really went the extra mile in terms of caring for the pets and helping out with other misc things (like bringing in packages). You can tell that Bree is both experienced in caring for animals and truly loves being around them. I will definitely be reaching out to her for all future pet-sitting needs!”
“We always feel confident leaving our pup with Abigail when we go away. Everything is smooth from start to finish: great availability, flexibility, communication, dependable, and detailed updates (which are especially helpful for our dog with special needs). We recommend Abigail to everyone and anyone: from pets with special needs to the easier ones! You will never worry about your pets care when you go away.”
“Maggie provided excellent cat care and house sitting. I appreciated that she fit us in last minute and accommodated our schedule around some other commitments she had. I would definitely book her again!”
About: I’ve had pets since I was about 4 years old, and am experienced with caring for cats and dogs. Any needs they have, I will take care of them all - from simple company when you're at work, to walks, giving meds and overnight stays! I have experience training puppies too, from potty training to the classic "stay", "sit", "come", "leave" etc. commands. I have a large dog myself so size of your pet is no issue. Anything you're unsure about, shoot me a message! I work full time at a school but am free weekdays after 2pm until around 10pm. On weekends I am free from Friday afternoon until Monday morning so I can do overnight stays too if needed. Depending on the care required, I will feed pets, give them meds, take them outside, play games/fetch/etc., brush them, empty litter boxes and so on. I have had several cats and dogs of my own and cared for many more, so I am comfortable with adjusting to their different personality types.
“Ryann did a wonderful job taking care of our two playful one-year-old cats. She is communicative and kind. This is the first time we have left our one-year-olds, but we knew they would be in good hands. Highly recommended.”
“So happy I found Daniel because I know June is getting all kinds of love, attention and mental and physical exercise. He’s a real pro and clearly loves what he does.”
“Natalie was great! Communicated with us throughout, sent lots of pictures, and wrote thoughtful, entertaining updates for each visit. We hope Natalie will be available next time our cats need a sitter!”
“Lukas was absolutely wonderful with Hazel and KitKat. When I got home, even after a horrific rainstorm, they were happy and purring as if I'd never left. I cannot thank Lukas enough for giving my cats such good care. Not only do I highly recommend Lukas to watch your furry friends, I now have peace of mind to know that I have someone I can count on for future visits. Thank you so much!”
About: Growing up, my family dog was epileptic and required a lot of serious attention. Since then, I have watched dogs and cats for weeks during friends and family’s vacations. I currently work a flexible schedule so I can be mostly available to walk your dogs I would just need a heads up on timing! I do attend school so my availability will be changing once the year begins. I can make your dog feel safe and loved while you are away. I can also make sure they get enough exercise as I love to walk and run!
“Carol was a great communicator who made us feel confident our cat was in good hands while we were away. She shared daily updates and photos that showed our moody cat warming up to her a bit more during each visit.”
About: My name is Rosa, and I have years of experience living with - and caring for - dogs and cats. Currently, I live with two wondrous cats: Wallula (5 years old) and Feygele (8 months old). I believe every creature has a unique personality and story that continues to unfold with each day. I find it an absolute delight and privilege to get to know your beloved creatures' personalities - their likes and dislikes, their curiosities and opinions, their daily rituals - and to support them in feeling safe and cared for while you are away. I am an educator working in adult education during the academic year (September through May). During the academic year, I have the most flexibility for drop-in visits Friday-Monday throughout the day. That said, Tuesday-Thursday I am available before 8:30am and after 3:30pm for drop-in visits. June-August I have more availability. I would love to spend my time caring for your beloveds! I am unable to board pets at my home but I love doing drop-ins and will always treat your space respectfully and your pets' safety and well-being is number one priority.
“Alaina was amazing! She has a wonderful calming presence and her love for animals is evident. Excellent communication and Otis loved her. I would highly recommended Alaina and we will definitely reach out again for help with Otis.”
“Nick took care of our two kitty lads perfectly, and was super attentive and communicative! One of our cats takes a pill twice a day, so we are very careful about making sure that's administered well — and Nick handled it all without a hitch. Having him help out gave us great peace of mind when we left for a last-minute trip. We will definitely hire him again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Deerfield
As always, five stars. We had a death in the family last week and needed last minute care for my boy so we could catch a plane, and Audrey being available was a huge relief. Perfect care, and my antisocial boy gets more socialized with every visit. It's nice to see him warming up to someone who isn't me or my boyfriend.
Ivi was great. They were very communicative with me and attentive to my two cats. My very shy kitty even came out and interacted a bit with Ivi - which I think is a clear indication of Ivi's gentleness and kind efforts with her. It was very nice knowing both my girls were in good hands with Ivi!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 906 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Deerfield. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Deerfield stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Deerfield. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
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.
