“Chasity went above and beyond for my two dogs! She kept me posted throughout the whole weekend on how the dogs were doing. Even stayed later than I booked, she’s amazing and I will definitely be using her in the near future! Thanks Chasity for caring for my babies like they are your own!”
“Kerry is very sweet. She sending us a Pictures of Max allthe time and anytime I wanted to check on Max she was available and answered right away. She is very nice and kind. I would highly recommend her!!!!”
About: I have owned my own Grooming,daycare, boarding facility on Base in Japan ! It was one of the best experiences. I have dealt with all kinds of pup sizes and temperaments! I know how to asses a situation before anything is elevated, I know the signs if something is not right, and give clear communication to the owners. I love being able to help others out since dogs are my de-stressors and being SECFO I just don’t want to talk to people some days ! My schedule is always changing and some days I’m 0900-1700 or 0600-1400. Then having random days off . I am an Ophthalmic technician for my full time job, but A lot of the doctors are on Summer leave right now. So I have a lot of time and would love to give back to other people and their fur babies! I have two kids that are in daycare full-time and being off three days a week sometimes which definitely hurts a paycheck! So I’m pretty open and free ! Oh well first off I always treat my clients house with respect! If there was an accident how to clean it up immediately and then take the trash out since I would hate to come home to a house that smells like poop or pee. If we were going on a walk or playing outside I would always check the harness before we even leave to make sure it is completely secure as well as checking the locks on the door and fence if we were outside. I always wipe paws and make sure your fur babies experience is wonderful ! I communicate fully with the owner of there is anything wrong, toy shredded, poop etc just to make sure we are on the same page .
“Cassidy took wonderful care of our dog, Lucy, while we were away. Lucy was happy and relaxed. Cassidy spent time playing with her and kept her to her daily routine as much as possible. Cassidy stayed at our house the whole time, which we liked because we didn’t want Lucy to be alone. Cassidy was very communicative and sent us pictures throughout her stay. She followed all our instructions. We appreciate her kindness and the attention she gave to Lucy. This was our first time leaving our dog and it went great and we will book her again the next time we go on a vacation.”
“Christine was awesome! She was so good with our little guy and helped him settle into a new place. I booked way in advanced and she was the first sitter that did not cancel and checked in with me. 10/10 would recommend!”
About: I have owned cats, dogs, crested geckos, a jumping spider, rabbits, mice, fish, frogs, ducks, and chinchillas. I have a big heart for animals and have always had an animal in my life. I have primarily had medium to large dogs but love little dogs too. I've had experience with dogs and cats in all stages of life and have experience hand feeding and dealing with medications with meals. I am not afraid of any breeds and am comfortable with all animals. I am excited to meet your fur baby! I am a full time nurse PRN and mom to an 18 month old little boy. I choose when to work and only pick up if I'm not house sitting or boarding someone's baby that way I'm home to give all the love and attention to fur babies. I am able to take my son to daycare monday through friday also so I can focus on your furry friends. I can watch your fur babies in the comfort of their own home whether it be frequent stops in the day or a stay overnight. I can stop in for meals, potty breaks, play time, and walks.
“Jenna was amazing! We are going to use her again. 100% definitely going to use her again. She was responsive and sent us a ton of pictures. Asked questions and sent feedback on our pups. She was amazing.”
About: Dogs are the best. I have had dogs my entire life and currently have 2 little guys (9yr and 14yr). No matter where I go I always find the dogs! If your pup is friendly, they’ll get along great with mine! Currently relocated here for a job and unfortunately that didn’t work out. I’m currently searching for the next career move, and I would love for that to be taking care of your pup! Obviously listening to the advice of the parent first, my house is their house, for all friendly pups! I have a large fenced in back yard with flood lights all around.
About: Kind, caring, responsible adult with experience caring for various animals and/Or houses. Very professional and clean sitter looking for opportunities to work with similar clients. I am newly retired from 9-5 work and I have a flexible schedule that allows for me to spend time loving on your pets. I can accommodate any schedule or needs that you have for your pet, in your home. I prefer small to medium pets but am open to any pets that are easy to care for
“Loarann was amazing!! This was my first time using in-home boarding so I was nervous but she was so sweet and so communicative. I never once had to worry or wonder what was going on which is huge for when you go on a trip that’s stressful enough! I honestly think she left the place better than she found it and was so kind about my house being kind of a sight these days because of renovations. She seems to truly love animals and I will 100% use her again in the future, no question.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Deerland
Francis is AMAZING. Responsible, responsive, caring, and on top of it all. She truly went above and beyond, watching our cats and dogs when we had a family emergency. Due to a previous injury, one had a cone and required medication and monitoring and she could not have been better. On top of that, she is super nice, sharp, and gave regular updates. We’re worried our pets will like her better. Seriously… they might. Thank you Francis for making a hard time so much easier.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Deerland is $39 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $89 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Deerland 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 Deerland 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 Deerland 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.

- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
