“Shelby did an amazing job caring for my dog, Bear! She made sure he got outside for proper exercise every day and kept me updated with photos and videos, which made being away so much easier knowing he was having such a great time. I came home to a house that was clean and tidy, too. I would absolutely recommend Shelby to anyone, she does a top notch job!”
“Our dogs and cats were well cared for! She house/pet sat for us. She had a checklist to make sure she provided proper care from scooping the litter box to snuggling each pet every day! We will definitely be using her again for our next trip”
“I am so grateful and fortunate to have found Michael to help me feel safe and secure knowing my little man is in the best hands! 5 stars are just not enough!!! Thank you again and I would recommend him for anyone who needs a reliable and respectful home sit for your fur babies.”
About: I will give your pet(s) the love, care and attention they deserve! I will respect your space and routines and provide updates with photos included.

I will follow whatever routines you have established, however detailed they may be. My goal will be to provide the same level of care you would give your pet(s).
“Kaili did a great job with our house and two pups over a few days! She gave regular photo updates but was self sufficient, and took them out on lots of fun hikes. We came back to a clean house and tired dogs and would have her back anytime!”
“Karina was great with my dog! Her communication was always quick and she was willing to cater to all my dogs needs over the weekend. Super professional and responsible! Highly recommend!”
“I was so glad to have connected with Hannah to take care of our dog, Ruby while we were on vacation. She took such great care of her and our home. We appreciated that she stayed in touch, sharing photos of their hikes and walks. I would highly recommend Hannah for pet/house sitting.”
“Jessi was great! She communicated well, took great care of our dog, and shared updates. She took Poppy on walks, played fetch, and asked great questions about Poppy’s care while we were out of town for a week. We can’t wait to have her back!”
“Anna was amazing with Tuxx! She was able to accommodate a last-minute booking, which was such a relief, and made the whole process feel easy and stress-free. She sent daily photos of him, and you could tell he was genuinely having the best time—happy, relaxed, and well cared for. It gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I would absolutely trust her with Tuxx again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
“Cassandra did an outstanding job with our dog while we were on vacation. She provided pictures showing how comfortable and cared for our dog was while we were gone. Both my husband and I also noticed that our dog was calm and happy when we returned. We also agreed that our dog’s behavior had changed for the better! I definitely recommend Cassandra and we’ll use her again!”
“Josie was fantastic! She made us feel very at ease with leaving our pup at home for quick overnight trip. She sent lots of updates and pictures throughout the day. I knew the whole time that Nala was her main focus and that she was very well cared for. I can’t recommend Josie enough and we will be re-booking with her in the near future!”
“Kelly and Sam were not only attentive and active with our cats, but also wonderful, thoughtful house sitters. Thankful to come home to a happy and peaceful pack of cats, landscaping and garden of green plants despite 100 degree temperatures all week, and a tidy house. They provided frequent updates, and were incredibly understanding considering high temps and the lack of air conditioning in our house. Would not hesitate to have them care for our cats and home again. Thank you so much, Kelly and Sam!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Deschutes
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Deschutes on Rover is $72.15 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 666 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Deschutes. 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 Deschutes 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 Deschutes 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 Deschutes 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.

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.
