“Hannah was a great house and dog sitter for Asher! We had a last minute request and we are so lucky we got her! She is super reliable, very communicative, kept the house clean and better than it was left, and took extra good care of our boy. We will be calling Hannah as soon as we need a sitter again :)”

About: I'm a total animal person with a flexible schedule, meaning your pets get my full, undivided attention instead of me rushing back and forth from another job. I've grown up around dogs and treat every pet like my own. Because I currently have an open schedule, I can spend maximum time hanging out, playing, and keeping your pets company. Since I have a completely open schedule right now, I can give your pets all of my time, attention, and care. Whether they need plenty of daytime company, lots of backyard play, or just a relaxing buddy to hang out with while you're away, I'm fully dedicated to making sure they feel right at home. When I'm hanging out at your place, your pets' comfort and routine come first. I always stick to their usual feeding and potty schedules, and I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and belly rubs. My goal is just to keep them happy, relaxed, and feeling safe while you're away!

“Melissa and Izzy were absolutely wonderful with Chulu! They were incredibly communicative throughout his stay, providing regular updates and making us feel completely at ease. They were also very flexible and accommodating, which we truly appreciated. Most importantly, they gave Chulu excellent care and treated him with genuine kindness and affection. Their friendly, caring nature was evident from the start, and it was clear that Chulu felt comfortable and happy with them. He thoroughly enjoyed his time in their care and came home relaxed and content. We highly recommend Melissa and Izzy to anyone looking for trustworthy, attentive, and loving pet sitters. Thank you both for taking such great care of Chulu!”

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments my entire life. Currently, I am a proud pet parent to two wonderful dogs: a 9 year old Golden Retriever (turning 10 in December!) and a high-energy 2 year old American Foxhound. Managing these two gives me daily, hands-on experience balancing the needs of a lively young hound with the gentle care required by a senior dog. Beyond my own pets, I have regular experience caring for friends' and family members' animals. I frequently pet-sit for an older American Bulldog (around 10 years old) and three cats (one boy and two girls), which has made me very comfortable administering specialized senior care and managing multi-species households. I’ve also cared for my aunt's Yorkies, giving me confidence with smaller breeds as well. Whether your pet needs a patient companion for their golden years, a high-energy playmate, or attentive care while you're away, I treat every animal as if they were my own! I work at a restaurant and my schedule is flexible. I mostly work evenings so i can do day time visits + after work if need be. In My Home: I provide a safe, secure environment tailored to your pet's needs. For dogs under 50 lbs, I have a comfortable crate available if they are crate-trained or need a quiet space to settle. I ensure harmful items are safely out of reach and that high-energy pets get plenty of supervised playtime and exercise. In Your Home: I strictly follow your routines for feeding, medication, and walking. I keep living spaces secure, ensure doors and gates are carefully monitored, and provide plenty of attention and companionship so your pets feel safe while you're away.

About: I have had pets my entire life and love animals with my whole heart. I treat mine like they’re my kids and genuinely love having animals around. I’m a college student with a lot of free time and incorporating animals into my routine is natural. I am home 24/7 and love taking care of animals. I can take them on coffee runs, long walks, play tug a war, etc. I prefer to exercise by going on walks so adding a furry friend is perfect. I make sure my pets are fed and played with as well as walked and hydrated. Pets are welcome on my furniture and all around my apartment. I provide ample attention to all my pets to ensure they have the best time and are fully attended to while in my care.

About: I've had a total of 5 dogs growing up, one of which was professionally trained and had special needs. I have experience with puppy as well as senior care and create a safe, loving environment for your pets. I've cared for multiple pets and neighbors have relied on me to sit in the past. I do only sit for one family at once and I am not boarding at this time. Thank you! I'm currently working part-time, so I have plenty of availability. My schedule varies weekly, but rest assured I will do my best to accommodate your needs. I'd love to take your pups for walks in the neighborhood, hang out in the yard, and play with them in ways your home allows! I can also provide my own extra amenities like treats or toys.

“Best dogsitter ever! I received so many tips and tricks because I am adjusting to a new life with just me and my dog. Royiesha is patient and kind and absolutely has the best temperament to deal with a sassy and vocal dog like mine. Definitely will be booking again and I feel very comfortable with Royiesha in my space. She checked in several times a day, provided pictures and videos, and it was good to know my dog wasn't alone while I was away.”

About: I grew up with a dog, Elvis, and now own a dog, Jeter and a cat, Neptune. I have been my neighborhood pet-sitter since I was in middle school. I'm experienced in handling both dogs and cats (and birds) young and old, big and small, healthy and on medications. My goal is to earn their trust and yours as well! As of now I have a very flexible schedule and can watch pets or walk your dogs as early as for their breakfast, until as late as bed their bed time, or even overnight stays. I’m an experienced dog walker and actively engage with animals to keep their attention and gain their trust. When petsitting, I play with them to foster a relationship, prevent loneliness, and provide excercise. I am a very clean person and will clean up after myself and your pets

About: We can’t live without interacting with animals. I believe animals are our actual family and deserve to be treated that way. I believe in a cage free home. I want your baby to feel like they are at home with us. We have been caring for pets professionally since 2017. I want to be your pets favorite getaway when you’re away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine because I build my schedule around the pets I’m caring for. I plan my mornings and evenings to include walks, feeding, and check-ins, and I leave open blocks of time during the day so I can focus fully on each booking. I’m very flexible, so adding walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays fits easily into my week. Whether it’s keeping a consistent walking schedule, giving updates, or just spending extra playtime with a dog who needs attention, I make sure pet care is always a priority and not something I rush. I enjoy it, so it feels like a normal, happy part of my day. They will be fed at 7am and 5 pm. They will go potty every 2-4 hours and play in the backyard. The babies are allowed on furniture and can sleep with us.

About: Hi! My name is Giovanna, and I’m a caring, responsible dog sitter who truly loves animals. I’ve grown up around dogs and have hands-on experience caring for my own dog, my cousin’s dogs while she was away, and dogs I’ve watched as a sitter. I’ve also cared for a dog while babysitting two kids, so I’m very comfortable managing routines, attention, and responsibility at the same time. I understand that every dog has a unique personality, energy level, and routine. I take the time to follow owners’ instructions carefully, whether that means feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, or just giving extra love and patience. I’m calm, attentive, and always focused on keeping pets safe, happy, and comfortable. I treat every dog as if they were my own and make sure they feel secure while their owners are away. I’m happy to send updates and photos so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is in good hands. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, loving, and attentive to care for your dog, I’d be happy to help! I can walk dogs after 5pm on weekdays and can take care of them for days and during the night. On weekends I am free. I take care of dogs with a consistent daily routine that includes feeding on schedule, fresh water at all times, regular walks, playtime, and lots of attention and affection. I make sure the dog gets enough exercise, mental stimulation, and rest. I also pay close attention to behavior, appetite, and energy levels so I can notice if anything seems off. Cleanliness and safety are very important to me, and I always make sure the dog feels comfortable, calm, and loved.

Kimberly was pet sitting our two dogs for two days while we were out of town. She was great and followed all instructions perfectly. When a situation arose that we did not anticipate, she made the right decision to keep our pets safe. She was loving and patient with the pups when they were howling and crying because we left. She left the house perfectly clean. I would highly recommend her! And so would our pups! 🐶 🐶 🐾 🐾

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!

If you can handle my reactive, unpredictable, very cuddly chaos gremlin (aka Taz, short for Tasmanian Devil!!), you can handle anything — and Christina did it flawlessly. From the start, she went out of her way for a consult AND a drop-in to make sure my boy was comfortable with her before house-sitting. Also, her communication was top-tier (updates + photos that made me smile all weekend). Not to mention she treated my home with so much care!!! Most importantly, Taz was happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved when I got back - which is not often the case with prior sitters!! That alone tells me everything I need to know. Christina is truly a gem — we’ll 100% be booking again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Parkland

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Parkland is $52 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $79 per night. 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 4,489 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 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.
