“Allison was great with our dogs. She sent thorough reports and photos for each drop-in visit. I could tell from the photos our dogs were loved and cared for. It was so nice to enjoy our son’s wedding and not stress if the dogs were in good hands. I would definitely book with Allison again!”
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats as long as I can remember I love all animals big and small I used to work at an animal shelter and learned lots of useful skills Pet care is already part of my daily routine with my two sweet dogs, who love making new friends! I work from 9 AM to 6 PM, so my time with your pets will be before and after work. My mom is usually home by 3 PM. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s routine before booking to make sure my schedule is a good fit for their needs.

“This was my first time using rover and Victoria exceeded all my expectations! My dog loved her and I felt very comfortable having her watch him for the weekend. I will definitely be using her services again in the future. Thanks Victoria for taking care of my baby!”
“Great communication from the start and super precise following my super OCD-detailed instructions! Definitely put my mind at ease knowing my sweet babies were okay while I was away. Thank you!!!”
About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. Throughout my life I’ve cared for dogs, cats, fish, and even a frog, so I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities and needs. I also worked at a doggy daycare and boarding facility in Alaska (The Hound Lounge) for almost 2.5 years, where I handled feeding, water, medications, enrichment, photos for owners, and making sure every pup had plenty of playtime, comfort, and attention. I currently have two dogs of my own, one of which has IVDD and I care for from giving medication to expressing her bladder and colon and the other of which I walk daily. I’ve worked with pups of all sizes — from tiny Yorkies to giant St. Bernards. If you’re looking for someone confident, reliable, and comfortable with all dogs (and happy to care for cats, too!), I’ve got you covered. I currently am a stay at home dog mom and am caring for my dog who has IVDD and is paralyzed in her back legs. Because of that, I’m most available for check-ins or daily walks, along with occasional overnight care when I have advance notice. This helps me plan ahead and make sure I can give your pets my full attention. As I build my client base, my goal is to transition to full-time pet care and open up even more flexible availability for all of my clients. I always ask pet parents to leave detailed instructions on how they’d like their furry friends cared for while they’re away. This can include anything from walk lengths, feeding amounts, and medication schedules to whether they need a leash in the backyard, are allowed to roam freely, or prefer a crate during the day or night. I also ask where they sleep—whether that’s in their own bed, on the couch, or cuddled up next to me (which I’m totally fine with!). I always follow the pet parent’s instructions closely, and if no specific directions are provided, I will use my best judgment to ensure their pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for at all times.
About: From raising multiple of my personal puppies over the last 10 years, to helping my mom welp litters of Rotties when I was a kid, I have a long history of taking care if animals young and old. I've lived on a farm my entire life until the last few months, and have taken care of everything from indoor pets, to livestock. Currently I am unemployed and pretty flexible with a bit of notice. My boyfriend is gone on and off, so unfortunately house sitting availability is low because I have my own fur babies, but I do have house sitting experience and when Im available would be very enthusiastic to house sit for you! Id love to check in on your animals and take care of them while you're busy with work, or stay over with them while you go on vacation, and make sure you feel comfortable and happy that your babies are being well entertained and cared for. I have two high energy dogs who were raised rural, so unfortunately I cannot provide pet services in my home, but I am happy to care for them at yours. I'd love to do a meet and greet and learn all there is to know to make your pets comfortable on their schedule.
“Ginny was fantastic! She was dedicated to caring for our animals! She was also happy to send pictures along of our happy pets which made it all more comfortable knowing they were in good hands while we away on vacation! Thank you Ginny!!”
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 10 years old. Family, friends, neighbors, and strays. I have a love for pet of all kind. I have feed, walked, and played with them. I work full-time during the school year and want to add pet care to what I do during the school year and during the summers. During the school year I fit it in on the weekend. During the summer I have much more availbility. I take care of my clients pets by checking and refill food and water, exercise and attention. I do not bathe pets, But I do walk, play, and talk to them. Giving them the love and attention they need.
“Lisa did an amazing job with Dash! The communicated well and quickly responded when I reached out to her. She listened and took all of our advise when checking in on Dash. When we got home, he seem more at ease than usual when we are away. So this was a plus!!! She did very well with him and I would recommend booking her to anyone! Thanks Lisa for taking very good care of Dash while we were away. ?”
About: I’ve had all kinds of pets since I was 8, including cats, dogs, hedgehogs, fish, etc so I love animals and am more than capable of taking care of them. I also work in animal care so I have experience in noticing odd behaviors. I am currently out of work so have a very flexible schedule. I am available any hours of the day but prefer to keep it to weekdays. With the right animal I’m willing to do weekends as well. I can easily let the pet outside for restrooms break and can interact with your pet as I love animals. I also am trained to notice odd and out of the ordinary behavior to notice any issues your pet may be having.
“Jennifer did a great job caring for our 2 dogs. Came by twice a day, fed, watered & played with them. Sent pics from both visits. Communicating with her was easy & she was quick to respond.”
“Aspen was wonderful with our 2 large dogs! I could tell she genuinely loves animals during our Meet and Greet, and our dogs loved her! Even my Sharpei/Rottweiler mix who has “stranger danger” warmed up to Aspen immediately. She was patient getting them to go potty in the rain and followed our instructions perfectly. We highly recommend Aspen and will use her again for future drop-in visits!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Deerland is $37 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $43 per visit. 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.
As of November 2026, there are 559 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Deerland. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.

- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
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.
