“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”
“Would highly recommend Michael! His daily updates and pictures gave us peace of mind during our trip. He was patient with our rambunctious 7 month old boxer puppy and even got him crate trained for us! We will definitely use him again going forward.”
“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!”
“Karina was great. Very communicative, offered a meet-and-greet before booking the stay, and sent lot's of images and videos throughout the stay. She went above and beyond in sending overviews of her walks and extra videos. Came home to a happy and healthy pup, clean house, and would definitely use her again.”
“Anna was amazing as our dog sitter! She took such great care of our senior dog and our home while we were away. Anna confidently took care of everything, even some high maintenance feeding and walking requests. We felt at ease during our trip, knowing that we’d left our Hunter with a thoughtful and capable person. We look forward to hiring her again!”
“Lindsey did an excellent job watching our five year old Frenchie, Maisey. Our pup immediately took to her on our meet and greet and was super happy to see Lindsey when she came to watch her. We will definitely be using Lindsey again for future sitting needs.”
“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!”
“Payten was amazing with my five month old kitten! I was nervous about leaving him for 8 days over the holiday but he seemed to do just fine from the messages and photos Payten sent me while she was house sitting. I will defiantly utilize her again if the opportunity comes up!”
“We have only ever had family watch our three crazy, anxiety ridden, special pups that need around the clock care.. so when a trip came up and we needed to find a sitter we went on the hunt for a pro. After hours reading reviews and several interviews we settled on booking Abbey. I have to say, my husband and I expected to be stressed out and worried the entire time we were gone but Abbey was AMAZING!! She even was able to take on our best friends lab for part of the stay. She never left them alone for longer than what we talked about, she followed all instructions and provided prompt and frequent updates. One of our pups even ended up having a little ear itching and she handled it just like I would have. Our house was taken care of, she even repotted an orchid after one of our dogs knocked over one of my pots. We also had a yard project going on that didn't get finished before we left so she had to deal with a contractor in the yard which the dogs didn't love. She is a true pro and we are SO happy to have found her and a forever trusted house sitter for our pack!! We will be booking her in the future.”
“Nadia was amazing with my two dogs - one older and one a new pup! She stayed overnight and sent lots of pictures, keeping me informed. It seems like my dogs loved her! And she treated my home with respect. I would definitely rebook her!”
“We had Elena puppy sit while we were at a wedding. She was incredible. Made us feel comfortable leaving our puppy in such sweet hands. If we lived in Bend we would 1000% be using her again, highly recommend!”
“Leah was really easy to work with, very flexible and accomodating which was really helpful because our dog sitting window was a moving target. She sent us pictures and updates of the doggies during her stay and was very communicative and responsive. She also kept an eye on some of the plants that were getting thirsty, and made extra effort to clean bedding before leaving. Leah is great -- we would definitely book her again to watch our pups and house!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Deschutes on Rover is $72.15 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 655 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.
