“Lori did a very nice job watching our pets while we were on vacation. They were well fed, she took the dogs outside often and watered our plants. She sent pictures of our pets every day and told us how they were doing. She informed us when she was leaving the house for a while and didn't stay away very long. We were impressed how well our chihuahuas liked her. Our dogs don't like very many people....at all. We look forward to having Lori watch our pets when we go on vacation again.”

About: I have taken care of my own animals (cats and dogs) for as long as I can remember. In addition, I have extensive volunteer experience at local animal sanctuaries such as Forever Amber Acres, Medina SPCA, Found House Cincinnati, and Cats Off the Square Medina. I have taken care of all types of animals through these jobs, and there has never been one I haven’t adored. Helping animals feel safe and cared for is my top priority. I am currently a senior at Kent State University, I have a full class schedule and another job but am available for drop in visits during weekdays and long term sitting on weekends! I will follow your instructions on what is best for your fur baby! I am happy to play with energetic pups for however long they need, will work with a standoffish kitty, and adore gentle giants like Newfies and Pitbulls!

“I recently had the pleasure of hosting Jeannine for house sitting services. I cannot begin to express how impressed I was in her care for my senior dog, Jade, while I was away. I was provided frequent text message updates, including photos which were nothing short of professional grade. She politely provided me expertise and pointers regarding Jade’s feeding, and even detected and treated some minor health issues. She laundered and neatly folded everything she used, and seriously left the house in better shape when she departed. I chose her services based on previous recommendation from Rover clients, and was definitely not disappointed. I knew from the moment I met her that she possessed the maturity and integrity I was looking for in a house sitter. I highly recommend Jeannine for care of your pet. Bob B”

About: I have taken care of dogs ever since my 20's but the last 13 years I have been house/dog sitting for the members of the congregation were I was paid staff. I absolutely love animals but dogs are my favorite. I have extensive experience with any breed from puppy to geriatric dogs. My goal is eventually to do boarding as well. I would love to come stay with your pet baby and love on him/her while you are away. I believe in spending time with the pets. I promise you I will become your pets best friend second only to you. Getting them some exercise every day if possible and lot's of cuddle's at night. I prefer clients with fenced in yards. I am currently not working so I will be with your pets through out the day. Recently my daily schedule has opened up so I would be with your pets full time. If you dogs like to ride in the car I would take them on errands with me. Really there are no obstacles for me to be able to be with you pets full time. I am looking for full time remote work from home work though. Then I can still do dog sitting at the owners home or my home while I'm working. The first thing I do when I get up around 8 or 9 is let your dog outside if it's a fenced in yard a walk if it's not. Then I feed them per whatever instructions you have left. In the afternoon we go out again for some play time and potty break. I usually will let the dogs out an hour after they eat and every 4 hours a day, For cats, I feed them first thing. Keep their litter box cleaned daily or every other day and depending on the cat's acceptance of me or their personality we will have play time and cuddles too.

FAQs for House Sitting - Deerfield

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 593 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Deerfield. 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 Deerfield 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 Deerfield 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 Deerfield 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 Deerfield. On Rover:

  • 91% 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.
