“Marissa was an amazing sitter! She has great communication with us throughout her stay and took exceptional care of our fur babies and the house! Highly recommend Marissa as a sitter! ❤️🐾”
“Isabel was an absolute delight! I was a little nervous booking with someone new, but the moment she came over to meet our dogs, I felt completely at ease. She kept us updated throughout our trip and sent plenty of photos. It was clear they were getting lots of love and attention—when we got home, they were relaxed and happy, so I knew they’d been well cared for. She will be my first call the next time I need someone to watch my boys.”
“Izabela was wonderful! She was prompt, very communicative and asked really good questions to prep for the stay. She was attentive to Kayla and followed all the specific directions with our senior dog. We’ve already hired her again!”
“We had a wonderful experience with our house and pet sitter from Papi House by Sat by Rose. From the beginning, communication was great and we immediately felt comfortable leaving our home and dog in her care. Our pet was well loved, happy, and clearly received lots of attention while we were away. The house was also kept clean, organized, and exactly as we left it. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing everything was being taken care of so well. We would absolutely trust Rose again and highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
About: I absolutely love dogs and I’ve taken care of many throughout the years for my neighbors, friends and family members. I am trust worthy to take good care of your dog. I currently work part time down the street from my apartment and I have enough free time to keep your pet company and active as needed. There’s a nice big, clean dog park in my community and I always keep dog owners up to date with pictures, videos and even FaceTime calls as needed.
“Samantha was absolutely exceptional. She showed up right on time and immediately put me at ease with how natural and confident she was with Lucky. He’s a large dog and not always the easiest to handle, but she managed him with such calm presence and ease — it was honestly impressive to watch. What stood out most was how quickly Lucky connected with her. He genuinely loved spending time with Samantha, which says everything. You can feel when someone truly cares, and she does. We’re so grateful we found her and will absolutely be coming back again and again. I fully trust her and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, attentive, and truly great with animals.”
“Bridget took great care of my Zorro for the weekend. I appreciated the great communication--she sent pics with updates for me to see how he was doing each day. Thank you so much Bridget ☺️”
“Professionalism at its best. Loving and caring. Hellen O watched my partner for 2 days and went above and beyond any expectations I had. Extremely dedicated to the animals in our lives.”
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I was lucky enough to have a Doberman Pinscher, a Chihuahua Shih Tzu mix, and a cat, so caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. As an adult, I got a dog of my own, a Pitbull Lab mix, and she’s been my best companion ever since. I’m naturally very comfortable around animals and have a calm, confident approach to handling dogs. I believe in being firm but gentle, creating structure and boundaries while making sure a dog always feels safe, loved, and understood. I’m attentive to each dog’s personality and needs rather than taking a one size fits all approach. I especially love going on long walks and letting dogs experience the world around them. I’m a big believer in allowing dogs plenty of time to stop, sniff, explore, and take in their surroundings. Walks aren’t just physical exercise, they’re important mental stimulation too! Whether your dog needs an energetic walking buddy, some extra love and attention, or simply a calm and dependable person to keep them company, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. 🐾 Pet care is my primary focus, so I have a very flexible schedule and am available throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, and extended stays. I’m able to accommodate different schedules and routines and can often be flexible with timing. I’m happy to work with each pet parent to find a schedule that works best for them and their pets. My priority is making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own environment. I follow the owner’s instructions closely and make sure to maintain their pet’s normal routine as much as possible. I’m happy to provide whatever care they need, whether that means long walks, playtime, feeding, letting them outside, or simply giving them lots of love and affection. I understand that every pet is different, so I’m always happy to follow the owner’s preferences and instructions to make sure their pet receives the kind of care they’re used to.
“Vanessa was great! We appreciate that she came for a meet and greet in advance, sent lots of pictures of Aioli, and she was a respectful guest in our home. Would love to have her watch Aioli again!”
About: I have 8 years of experience as a professional dog trainer, with additional hands-on background in dog boarding. That experience has given me the ability to work with a wide variety of breeds and temperaments, create structured routines, and calmly handle behavioral issues. I now bring those skills to dog walking, house sitting, and pet sitting—providing confident, consistent care for puppies, seniors, and every dog in between. Pet care is a flexible and integral part of my routine. My part-time job allows me to prioritize the care and attention pets need. I schedule my days around walking, feeding, and ensuring pets are happy and comfortable, regardless of my other commitments. I provide attentive and reliable care in my clients’ homes, ensuring pets are comfortable in their familiar environment. For dog walking, I focus on safe, enjoyable outings tailored to each dog’s needs. When pet sitting or feeding, I follow the owner’s instructions closely, providing companionship, and playtime, and maintaining feeding schedules to keep pets happy and stress-free.
About: I'm an passionate and excitable person who would love to care for your pet(s), huge or teeny! I'm very experienced working all sorts of animals, all with different needs and circumstances, as I have been volunteering at animal shelters for around 7 years and dog-sitting for 4! I am a CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) member as well, so if any situation were to arise, I am trained to handle them throughly. Please feel free to send me any information or questions before deciding on if I am the right match for you and your baby. There's no such thing as something being "too much" either, especially when it comes to something as important as your loved ones :) Pet care is my only job as I work on getting my AA degree! Immediately after my classes, I will be free. Please, feel free to reach out to schedule care on Tues/Thurs. My detailed schedule availability: Mondays & Wednesdays- All day availability! Tuesdays & Thursdays- classes from 8am- 6pm Friday-Sunday- all day availability! I am very accustomed to when animals needing extra special care, so there's nothing that could shock me! I love taking walks/playing, so you can rest easy knowing that your baby will be engaged and taken out if allowed. I just hate to see such sweet faces bored! I am a stickler for rules, so whatever is the norm for them will be a new norm for me. I clean throughly and will leave your home as clean as it was when I got there.
About: Experience- I have hands on experience with both cats & dogs, including delivering puppies & rehabilitating a newborn puppy with a birth defect who required around the clock care. I’ve also worked as a pet bather at a pet salon & volunteered at UFAR Animal Rescue where I helped transport, walk, feed & care for both cats & dogs. I’m currently working toward becoming a pet groomer. Cat Care- I have 2 cats of my own & understand feline behavior, stress signals & the importance of moving at their pace to help them feel safe while you’re away. Dog Care- I’ve had dogs for most of my life & understand that every dog has different needs. I provide attentive, structured care including walks, potty breaks & playtime. Schedule- I’m able to provide flexible scheduling & offer reliable, consistent care. I’ll do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine whenever possible. During Drop In Visits- I care for pets in their own home to help keep them comfortable & reduce stress. I follow instructions closely, maintain cleanliness & always respect your home. I’m also able to administer medication & can clip nails when appropriate, depending on your pet’s comfort level. I send regular updates, photos & videos so you can feel relaxed while you’re away. House Sitting- For house sittings, I’ll stay in your home & only leave for the maximum amount of time we’ve agreed upon. I’ll provide as many walks, potty breaks & playtime as your pet needs. If you don’t require an overnight stay, I offer discounted rates depending on your pet’s care needs.
“Ariela is Fantastic - took great care of my dogs! I have a mean 15 yo chihuahua/jerk mix and a delightful 6 yo shih tzu. Both get medicine and it’s nerve wracking finding someone when you are new in town. She was able to dose and feed them everyday, sent me a lot of photos, and checked in repeatedly. Her care and competency allowed me to leave with confidence and to enjoy my trip without worrying. She did great with my challenging dog, which was such a win. Ariela also cleaned up as she left, cleaning stuff and stripping the bed and putting the sheets in the laundry.Thoughtful person - Highly recommend!”
About: Animals have always been an important part of my life, and I truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I’ve cared for dogs for friends, family, and repeat clients by providing walks, feeding, playtime, fresh water, medication when instructed, and lots of love and attention. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your pet, so I always follow routines carefully, communicate regularly with owners, and treat every animal as if they were my own. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, or prefers a slower pace, I’m happy to adjust my care to help them feel comfortable and safe. Alongside my part-time job and college classes, I make time for pet care because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I keep my availability up to date and only accept bookings that fit my schedule, ensuring every pet receives the attention, love, and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications, and routines so your pet experiences as little disruption as possible. I keep owners updated with messages and photos, make sure doors and gates are secure, monitor pets closely during walks, and provide a calm, loving environment where they can feel safe and relaxed.
About: I have 9 years of experience taking care of both small and large breed dogs with various temperaments. From walks, feedings, outdoor play, and baths, your pet will be loved and in good hands! I have a very flexible work schedule, allowing me plenty time to spend giving your pet(s) lots of love and attention. I am available on the weekends, and then during the week after 12:30. Morning availability can be made upon request :) I have a lush fenced-in yard perfect for outdoor play and two very friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I have extra dog beds and a crate available if needed as well as extra dog toys to share.
“Larissa was able to help us out after our coverage for our fur kiddos fell through and we definitely intend to book with her again! Larissa is so kind and caring. Both my kiddos loved her as soon as they met her and that’s actually rare for my cat! Larissa provided several updates daily and adhered to the instructions we left for her. She left our home spotless! She even left a sweet thank you note with Polaroids of our kiddos inside. Normally when we get home, our kiddos tend to be skittish after having someone else stay with them but my girls were so at ease and happy. Thank you for loving on Riley and Sierra as if they were your own!”
“Ian is so patient with our sometimes stubborn 85 lb goldendoodle, penny! He is great in his communication and you can tell he truly loves animals. We booked Ian for sitting penny in our house and he is very trustworthy. Highly recommend booking Ian for your dog sitting needs!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Parkland is $52

As a pet owner of dog two dogs I would never really go on vacation because I was always worried about who would love and care for my babies like do, and then we found Neusa, a true blessing for our family. Neusa, is kind , loving , honest and takes amazing care of our dogs. I can honestly say I leave without having any stress or anxiety she picks up where I left off and her communication with us while we are away is great and sends great pictures as well. We are very grateful ☺️
Emma house sat with our two pups for five nights and we were extremely satisfied! We were conc erned because one of our girls had never had a night when we weren't there but we needn't have worried. Everything went well and we will absolutely contact Emma again!

What can I say about a girl that you meet and at first seight know she is the one.Thst is how I felt about her..after two days I even let her take the out for walks.i love her how she work ethic and calling her out next month and till I have my fur babies.since the can’t travel the world anyone’s Larissa has given us our retirement back
This was my first time using Brandon and of course was a bit nervous but he went above and beyond. Made sure to update and send pictures throughout the whole stay. He was tidy and clean. Left my house just how I left it. I highly recommend Brandon you won’t be disappointed. Thank you so much for keeping my best bud safe.
Fabi is an amazing dog sitter. I loved how she took notes of everything we discussed during our meet & greet. I’m grateful that everyday she would send me pix and videos of my Xena to give me a peace of mind. I loved how she spoiled Xena with treats, playtime and cuddle time. Fabi’s communication and attention to detail is top tier as her previous work experience has given her the proper tools to provide excellent service. Fabi also left my house in order and gifted me a beautiful picture of Xena and treats, which meant the world to me. There is no doubt that I will rebook Fabi again in the future.
Deniro was great from start to finish. During our meet and greet, he had a nice, positive energy, and I could tell right away he was a responsible young man. My dog can be a bit of a handful, she’s injured, full of energy, can’t go on walks, and doesn’t like being alone. She also needs daily medication. Deniro managed all of that beautifully. His communication was excellent, and he sent me thoughtful updates and photos that gave me total peace of mind. I never had a single concern while I was away. I highly recommend him and would absolutely have him watch my dog again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Parkland
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Parkland on Rover is $53.28 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 4,463 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Parkland. 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 Parkland 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 Parkland 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 Parkland 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 Parkland. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
