“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!”
“Angelica did a great job house sitting our dogs. She was a great communicator and sent lots of updates. She cleaned up after our dogs and left our home in good order. I would definitely recommend her to take care of your pets.”
“Jenna was absolutely amazing with my boys over the 4th of July weekend! She was so responsive and sent a lot of pictures (without me prompting), which let me know they were in the perfect hands! Hands down recommend her for any of your pets/furbabies! But especially if you have an older border collie mix with a strange personality—she handled him with grace and love. Definitely book with Jenna!”
“Jenny is amazing, I'm so glad I found her. She took care of our dogs beyond expectation. She was always looking out not only for our babies to be safe but also for their health and well-being. Every day she sent us updates and photos so we could make sure they were okay. Her work made it possible for me to enjoy my vacation without worries. I am more than grateful.”
“Katherine does an amazing job! Our dog is a bit difficult with new and unfamiliar faces, especially for house sitting, but he warmed up to Katherine almost immediately! This is our second time having her watch our doggo and 10/10, will use again!!! :)”
“Kerry was great to have house sit for Murphy, who is a 12 yo chihuahua. She sent pictures everyday and he looked very content! I would recommend Kerry to anyone looking in the area. I will definitely use Kerry again!!”
“Rachel did an incredible job house sitting for a week+ with our Golden and tabby cat. She checked in with great pics and even got our pooch some toys. Thank you, Rachel, for making our trip stress-free. I appreciate you!!”
About: I've had dogs my whole life and have been working as a practice manager for 10 years. I will treat your baby like my own. I am very flexible and will cater to any of your pets needs. Fully capable of taking care of multiple dogs at one time. Will respond to texts or calls immediately. I have a flexible schedule and will be able to take care of your pet early morning or late evening. I can do dog boarding as well.

About: I’ve been pet/house sitting since I was 13! I have experience from puppies and kittens to senior pets in diapers! I am very open to adjusting to whatever you and your pet needs to feel the most comfortable while you’re away! I am pretty flexible! I work a job at Orangetheory Fitness in Destin. Sometimes that means a few hours in the mornings or evenings I need to be at work. If necessary I’m able to find coverage fairly easily. I also do training at Eglin airforce base some days which can take a few hours of my time. Again, that is also fairly flexible when it comes to scheduling! I love to stay active-so I’m always up for making sure your pets are well cared for with the time I have around my commitments! I am more than happy to stay overnight with your pet if needed. Or, if your dog does well with others I would be happy to have them in mine. I am very flexible when it comes to arrangements for your pets care!

About: Hello! I'm a 24 year old college student looking to earn some extra income aside from my part time job and school work I already take on at the moment. I do surprisingly have some open availability and I would love to use that time to get to know your pet more! I love animals and I love caring for them. I have a cat but I've had many family dogs. I'm personally more of a cat person, but dogs are just as cute. I've dog sat a few times throughout college to earn some extra money, so I do have some experience. I'm attentive and detail oriented and I'll be sure your dog is cared for just as much as you care for them, if not more! Part time visits or overnight stays right now. I am available mostly everyday and most nights, including weekends. No boarding at this fine. I’m so sorry! Boarding is unfortunately not available at the moment. I’m staying with my parents and not in my own place. I’m so sorry! Next time, for sure.
About: Hey there! I’m LeeAnn 🙃 I’m here to help with your cutest, cuddly kitty and sweetest pupper needs! Whether I’m popping in for potty breaks, a quick stroll or making sure Whiskers can’t see there’s an empty spot in the food bowl (Cat parents, am I right?) Honestly I’m looking for something that allows the ability to create my own “flexible” schedule and be more present for my kiddos..the less furrier ones, although they act like wild animals! 🤪 I follow the instructions of the owners requests! In the summertime I am very mindful of the heat* I take a lot of shorter walks for the safety of myself and the dog - I want them to get their energy out but also don’t want the hot pavement burning their paws and/or a heat stroke for the animal nor myself. A lot of inside play consist of toy play! But again, I’m always going to be mindful of owner requests/demands
“She gave lots of updates and pictures of my dogs and I had no worries about them being cared for while I was gone. Absolutely will come back to her when I need my dogs watched again!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Deerland on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 287 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Deerland. 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 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 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 Deerland. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
