“Kerry was great, I felt comfortable with her in my home and taking care of my MOST precious pups! She sent me many pictures throughout the day & she gave them so much attention! I go out of town frequently and find it hard to find a great at home pet sitter. She was even so sweet to check my mail for me. I will definitely use her again!”

“Angelica has always been great with our two large dogs! She is a great communicator and extremely reliable. She is also very accommodating with special requests for our dogs’ care. I highly recommend her for dog sitting/drop ins!”

“Our dog loves Jenna! Everything is in order and clean when we come home, and our puppy is happy. Jenna is reliable and trustworthy, as well as easy to talk with. Highly recommend!”

“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!!! :)”

About: I have owned and taken care of animals since I was a young child. I grew up on a farm in Ohio where we had dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, horses and even a llama! As an adult, I have owned my own animals and they always live very happy, luxurious lives. Spoiled but healthy is key! I’m great at following directions, and proper care is at the forefront of my services! I currently work from home and am home pretty much 24/7 with the exception of appointments, errands and adventures so I have lots of time to give to not only my own animals, but animals in my care! I have a fenced in backyard perfect for a little doggie “zoomies” sesh, and a clean and pet safe interior of our home. I am home 24/7 so I am able to provide attentive and constant care to your pets, updating often with photos and even videos!
“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.”

“Amiyah did everything we asked her to with regard to being home for our 2 dogs and 3 cats. She spent time with them outside and they seemed to enjoy her company. We really appreciated her being at our home overnight and the majority of the time we were away. She made it easy to get updates and let us know of any concerns or questions.”

“Larianna looked after my Bulldog for a week while I was away. She took great care of him and sent lots of pictures and videos. She is really good about communicating and I would recommend her for anyone looking for a sitter for their fur babies.”

“Melinda is the best!! She house set for us for a week...I have a very high energy dog and an older dog with a very progressive cancer and she is wonderful with both. I have never seen my dogs (and I have rescued dogs for 35+ years in 2 states) be so calm, happy and absolutely not stressed when we got home. Melinda walked the dogs every day, kept them on their medication regime and feeding schedule, and gave them cuddles and attention the entire time we were gone. She even took care of feeding my wild squirrels, rabbits, raccoons, possums while I was gone. I truly can not say enough about how happy I am with the care she gave my babies!!!!! I will definitely be using her again for all of our doggy care --drop in and walking visits, day checks and any overnights, and all long term house sitting. If you are looking for someone that is trustworthy, loving with the pets, will adhere to schedules, go above and beyond, and just an all around gem, then Melinda is your person!!”
“Brittany was wonderful with my dog, Britta for the weekend! Lol She was very good at sending pictures with updates to us while we were gone. ? I look forward to booking again!”
About: I have a dog at home and he can be difficult sometimes but I always take him on walks and he absolutely loves it. I've had him for 4 years and he is my little buddy. I am available any day. I feel I would really love this job. I love animals and would love to be able to meet new ones. I currently can't pet sit in my own house. This may change in the future but for now I'm only available to walk or watch them in someone's house.
“Absolutely phenomenal experience with Daniela’s pet sitting service! I was away for the weekend and needed someone I could trust to care for my 5-year-old dog, Penny and Daniela exceeded every expectation. She checked in regularly, made sure Penny had everything she needed, and gave her plenty of love and attention. I could tell Penny felt comfortable and cared for the entire time. Coming home to a happy, relaxed dog made all the difference. Daniela is dependable, kind, and clearly passionate about animals. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again highly recommended!”

“She was great, left the house just about as good as we left it before vacation! The dogs seemed happy when we got home and the updates were a great touch to ease my mind! We will be using her again on our next trip for sure 😊”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, so caring for them has always come naturally to me. Over the years, I’ve cared for family dogs, dog sat for neighbors, and as I’ve gotten older, taken on in-home dog sitting with more responsibility. I’m comfortable caring for multiple dogs at once, following feeding and walking routines, administering medication, and providing extra patience and attention for senior dogs. I know every dog has a different personality and needs, so I always try to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I also understand how important communication and trust are when leaving your pet with someone, and I would care for your pets like they’re my own. I’m home for the summer from college, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. Because of that, I’m able to be available for walks, drop-ins, overnight stays, and giving pets the attention and consistency they need. Since I’m not juggling a packed school schedule right now, I can be reliable, responsive, and make pet care a real priority in my weekly routine. For the safety and comfort of all pets, I currently only offer care in my client’s home, since I have an older dog of my own at home. I find that many pets are more comfortable staying in their familiar environment anyway, where they can stick to their normal routine and feel less stressed while their owners are away. I’m very mindful about following each owner’s instructions closely, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, medication, crate routines, or any specific care needs. My priority is making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while also keeping your home clean, secure, and respected.
About: I have grown up around animals all of my life! I spent my early years learning large animal care knowledge and breed specific care such as shepherds and dachshunds. As i got older i furthered my knowledge to exotic care such as reptiles and parrots and finally leading to my professional experience in a shelter setting focused on cats. This is a lifelong passion of mine and intend to use each penny made from this to continue my education further to give love and care to those without a voice. My husband and I are moving in 2027 to further our education and my schedule is completely open until that time. I will however be strategic about scheduling to be able to provide the best care possible for each booking. I would like to keep your pets in your home to reduce as much stress as possible, but in the event your baby is in my home i will keep them separated in their own space during downtime and would ideally have camera for you to check in periodically. In the clients home i prioritize clear and timely communication as well as gather as much information possible to follow your loved ones routine as much as possible such as medication times, outdoor routines, even the quirky ones! Disclaimer, i will be selective with reactive large dogs, especially multiple due to my own safety concerns.

FAQs for House Sitting - Deerland
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Deerland on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 300 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:

- 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.
