“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!”
“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.”
“This was the first time using Allyson to watch our two dogs. She was very responsive and communicative. She sent multiple pictures during her stay. The house was spotless when we arrived home and both dogs were very happy. We will definitely use Allyson in the future!”
“I felt so safe and comfortable leaving my dog and cat with Anna! She sent me picture updates 2-3 times daily and made the pets feel loved. Not only that, she’s so kind and considerate and washed the sheets at the end of the stay!”

She will be the perfect companion to your dog when your pet will stay with us. Pet friendly park is next to my house and I also have a fenced backyard where your pet can play and rest.

“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!”
“Jess was awesome. Great communication from the beginning and kept us updated throughout. We were able to enjoy our time away knowing that our pups were well taken care of. Would gladly have her again. Thanks!”
“Kelly took wonderful care of our three cats while we were away. She communicated frequently with updates, and our cats were very happy with her. We also came up to a spic and span house!”
“Emma came & went through the days, took Josie on walks and seemed to enjoy her stay at our home. Josie loved her from the minute they met, so we felt comfortable with the plan. We would be more than happy to hire her again.”
“Caroline was an amazing sitter for our lab. She was great with her and sent us daily updates with photos. She took our dog on walks and hikes and made sure she got plenty of exercise while we were away. Our house was super clean when we got home and we had a happy pup waiting for us. Highly reccomend Caroline!”
“Lauren is the best communicator I’ve ever had - she sends regular updates with lots of pictures and I can tell when I get home that she’s given my dogs lots of loving care and attention. Thanks Lauren for being an awesome sitter!”
“A five star review is not enough! Even a 20 ⭐️ review would not be enough!!! Liz was simply amazing!! Given our dog’s age (16+) and slipping bladder/bowel control we made the switch from Rover care in the sitter’s home to a in-home sitter. Liz visited w us three times prior to her formal stay to make sure our guy was comfortable w her. We came back to a spoiled guy. She took wonderful care of not only our dog but immaculate care of our home. During our time away, we received so many pictures and videos of their time together. I could hardly keep up with viewing them all she documented their days together completely. Our time away was peaceful knowing that EVERYTHING back home was completely in control! The entire process was flawless. She is incredibly professional in all her correspondence and interactions. Several of my neighbors are interested in her services. We are looking forward to additional travel and having Liz care for our senior man.”
“Selfishly hate to leave a good review in case Brian isn’t available for us next time, but he went above and beyond. Our pets were so well cared for, he sent updates and pictures of them out and about, and was proactive with issues that came up on our property. We’re grateful we found the perfect person”
“Benny is very particular with people, but he loved Lindsey! She went above and beyond. She housesat for me and took Benny for walks, washed the bedding, and sent me photos and updates! 10/10 recommend!”
“Lauren did an amazing job with our cat and two dogs! She sent us photos and updates throughout our trip and ensured that everyone was well taken care of. Also, she was super pleasant to communicate with! Cannot recommend her enough!”

Caroline was an amazing sitter for our lab. She was great with her and sent us daily updates with photos. She took our dog on walks and hikes and made sure she got plenty of exercise while we were away. Our house was super clean when we got home and we had a happy pup waiting for us. Highly reccomend Caroline!
Indy is indeed grounded, calm and kind. Upon meeting my still active 16 yo dog, she immediately focused on connecting with him one on one. He loved her peaceful nature, and I felt assured, leaving him in her capable hands for 2 days and overnight. Looking forward to future stays!
Jenny took wonderful care of our two Britneys! She needed endless patience with our 10 months old pup, he has a lot of energy! Thank you for taking such good care of both of our dogs and the house looked amazing when we walked through our door! I recommend Jenny and would use her again for pet/housesitting.
My pup is very attached so leaving him for a week was hard! He was so happy when we got home and seemed to have had a great time with Tammara. She sent us photos of their time together and let us know how he was doing regularly which eased my overprotective mind. I would highly recommend her to care for your pup too.
Libby was AMAZING! She was so caring and treated my pups so great as if they were her own. This was literally the first time ever leaving my dogs with a dog sitter and not being constantly worried about my babies. I was able to travel completely anxiety free and she had great communication and sent pics everyday!
Savannah is a good dog sitter. She got Sunny to the neighborhood park on a leash (he's not the easiest fellow to lead) and let him do his favorite thing: long distance fetching. She welcomed him onto her bed at night. She tolerated his eneergy level. She gave him medication as prescribed. And I came home to a happy dog!
Kenzie helped us watch our dog while we were out of town. This was our first time using rover and an in house sitter and it went very smoothly! I was able to relax and know my dog was in good hands. I would definitely recommend Kenzie and will hopefully be rebooking her for future trips!

FAQs for House Sitting - Deschutes River Woods
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Deschutes River Woods on Rover is $48.15 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 638 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Deschutes River Woods. 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 River Woods 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 River Woods 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 River Woods 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.
