“Bree was super sweet and so attentive with all of our pets! We booked her for a 5 day long house sit, and we have a full house with multiple different animals to care for, one of which is a very anxious, large dog with daily medication. Everyone was well loved and cared for while we were gone, our home looked like it did on the day we left (and we did a big pre-vacation clean, so that says a lot!) and we got daily updates and pictures with our happy little zoo. Normally when we leave we can tell our pets were stressed when we come home, but this time it looked like they were more disappointed that Bree left 😂. It was a huge help for us given how worried we were as first time Rover users; we spent half the drive home talking about how excited we are to book another trip knowing how well things worked out!”

“Lucy was amazing house sitting with our French Bulldog, Eden. You can tell right away that she's great with animals, but she's also the most genuine, caring, enthusiastic, and honest person you'll ever meet. Her communication couldn't have been any better and she sent lots of pictures throughout the day. Eden (and all of us) will miss her until we return to Fort Lauderdale.”

Communication is outstanding, with regular updates and pictures that gave us complete peace of mind. Elanis truly goes above and beyond with Chulu, and it’s clear how much care and attention is given. We couldn’t be any happier and highly recommend Elanis to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter.”

About: I am a manager in a pet store and I have a very caring, loving, and helping place in my heart for the furry additions of the family. I love all animals and I care for them like they are my own. They soon become my babies after a few short seconds after initially meeting! I am a manager at a pet store so pet care fits into my daily and weekly routine pretty smoothly. I also have two bunnies at home that are practically my sons who I treasure very much. I have a very open neighborhood that is perfect for walks. There are a lot of dogs in my community that are quite friendly. Along with a nice amount of woodsy space for your dog to feel happy and free!

“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: I have over 13 years of hands-on experience caring for my own dogs. I am passionate about animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. I regularly take my dogs on walks, visits to the park, and provide daily care, including feeding, bathing, and monitoring their overall well-being. I understand the importance of patience, attention, exercise, and proper nutrition to keep pets happy and healthy. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine, and I enjoy spending time with animals. I am available Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. for walks, drop-in visits, and pet care services. On Saturdays, I am available in the evenings after 8:00 p.m. I am committed to providing attentive, reliable, and loving care for your pets. I live in a clean and spacious apartment where pets can feel safe and comfortable. While I do not have a fenced yard, there is a large grassy area and plenty of space for safe walks right outside my apartment. I can accommodate up to three dogs at a time to ensure each pet receives individual attention and care. I closely supervise pets, follow their feeding and walking schedules, and carefully follow all instructions provided by their owners. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment where pets feel happy and well cared for.

About: I love being around pets, and I am said by many to be a very kind person. Kindness is my talent, I just love making other people’s days better by being funny or silly. I do not have a lot of experience with dog care, but I would make sure to do my best for you kiddo. I also work as a Portuguese translator, so it is very important that I receive a notice before booking anything, but I am pretty much available every day. Because of the passion that I feel about animals, I never did and would never allow them to be hurt around me. I will always make sure to protect your loved one!

“I hardly leave our two spoiled senior pups and Joan was amazing. She stayed 6 nights in my home spoiling my two small dogs. They are extremely picky eaters and Joan did everything recommended in to get them to eat. She cooked fresh food nearly every meal for them and kept them in their routine so it wasn’t a difficult transition for me to leave. They routinely got their medicine (multiple medicines for both dogs) and Joan sent pictures each morning and afternoon letting me know they were doing great. Joan took great care of both dogs and I even came back to the linens in the washer already. I don’t know what I would have done without her and feel much more comfortable going out of town now that I’ve found her!!”

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: 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: Hi, My name is Alexa. I recently lost my Vizsla/Shepard mix named Pico. My heart is shattered and I am looking to add some normalcy of daily walks and caring for animals back into my life to try to ease this pain. I have over 15 years of pet training/walking/boarding/sitting experience. I love animals of all shapes and sizes and can ensure you that I will give them the love they need while you are away. I am familiar with many different temperaments and reactivity levels in animals. I am a big advocate of allowing a dog/cat to approach first and initiate contact. Patience is promised when you book with me:) Please don’t hesitate to call or text me with any questions or concerns regarding your booking. I look forward to meeting your fur baby! My job allows me to work from home very often which allows for a flexible schedule and fun walks in between clients! I’ll be there when ya need me. I believe my house is their house. My animals always have free range, can sit on couches and sleep with me in bed. If these are no-go’s in your house, no biggy…Let me know the ground rules and I’ll keep it the same for your animal.

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!

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 of House Sitting in Parkland is $53 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 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 October 2026, there are 4,518 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.

<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .

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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
