“This is my second booking with Michael. He is 100% reliable and my dog loves him! He took care of my pool and my plants. He communicated very well and sent me pics and updates every day. Would highly recommend booking Michael!”
“Bill was amazing. We knew right from the get-go that he would be responsible and take care of our wild animals. We will definitely have him back and HIGHLY recommend his services!”
“Troy and Shalah are true animal lovers and are so thoughtful to the needs of the fur baby parents as well! They recently watched my baby Stumpy and kept me updated with texts and so many pictures! I had my first dog sitter cancel and they were so responsive when I reached out to them! I am happy it worked out this way as they are wonderful! Don't hesitate to book them! You won't be disappointed”

About: I’ve taken care of pets most of my life. I love dogs, and am always the go-to for friends and family when they need a pet sitter. I work full time as a teacher, so my schedule is open during the summer months. The rest of the year, I am available weekdays after 5pm, and most weekends. My own dog was crate trained, but I am comfortable with both crated and free roaming pets. I love snuggling on the couch with a pup or two, and am happy to stick to the routine that works best for your pet!
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 8 years old, and I grew up around larger breeds, such as pitbulls. I also have experience with dogs who are aggressive towards other dogs. Taking care of pets is a daily routine and it should always be on a consistent schedule. I always make sure to feed and walk my pets before and after going to work. I also make sure to give them adequate attention and play time. I always make sure to keep pets from getting into things that may harm them or make them sick, and I like to give dogs at least 15-20 of walking time to get their energy out.
“Mykelle is the best! Super communicative, professional and great with our dog. Our pup loves her so much. So thankful to find such a great caretaker for him. Highly recommended!”
About: I started taking care of dogs since I was 12. I have exp. walking dogs. Cleaning up after them, giving food/water, potty breaks. Cleaning cages. I'm not working right now. Trying to find something. Our house is quiet & laid back. I'm available during the day. Both my dogs are friendly & like to play. I have a 6ft privacy fence in yard. 2 spayed female dogs & 1 cat. They usually just hang out around the house. I let them out when needed & wander the yard.
“This was our first time using Rover and Michaela did an excellent job. She was interested in the dogs and particularly vigilant about sticking to our care routine considering one of our dogs has some medical needs. She was communicative and sent us updates each day. We couldn't have asked for a better first experience for our babies.”
“Reina was great. She stayed at my house with my fur baby for 7 days. She sent me daily updates and lots of pictures. Finn has a seizure disorder and requires meds twice a day. She made sure that he received them on time. I would use Reina again in the future :)”
“We were so happy with all the help and care Gianna provided to our pets while we were out of town. We will absolutely request Gianna in the future and would recommend her services to all our pets while parents. Thank you Gianna!”
About: 🐾 All shots must be up to date prior booking. 🐾 Our goal is to give your pup the best experience possible. We're flexible with drop-offs and pick-ups, anytime between 6:30am and 8pm. Since I have young kids at home, I try to stick to a routine. Hope this isn't too inconvenient for you. If needed, we can easily extend your stay—no worries at all 🦴🐶 All about me! I am an animal interactoinist. I just have a good open sense of character when it comes to animals. I enjoy the love they give and I am in tune with their individual personalities. I have a calm demeanor and I'm am very sensitive to their needs. I love to verbally communicate with them like I do with my human counterparts. I love to walk them especially as a part of my exercise regiment. I love to feed them at their meal times. I love when they are excited to eat! I also enjoy longer than 30 min walks so that the dogs have time to stop and smell and do the things they do. I don't like to rush them during their normal routine. They deserve the best at all times. My consistent daily routine, including feeding, walks, and playtime, helps your pet feel secure and reduces anxiety. I do also start the day with a walk, playtime, or a brief cuddle session to bond with your pet and provide them with exercise and mental stimulation. To foster safety, trust, and a positive environment for your dog, I do provide a stable routine, establish a safe space, and create a bond through positive reinforcement and socialization.
“I will definitely be using Rich again for a puppy sleepover. He was great with communication and asked appropriate questions. Very reliable and trustworthy. Needed a last minute change while booking and he was extremely understanding and flexible. I felt at ease with all the adorable photos he sent of my fur baby. Definitely recommend. Also, went above and beyond what I asked. Thank you Rich!”
About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I was always the one wanting to bring home stray animals to care for and protect! I’ve had both cats and dogs of my own, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I also have over 10 years of pet-sitting experience caring for animals for neighbors, friends, and family. I’ve cared for pets during everything from quick day trips to week-long vacations, including feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and keeping up with their normal routines. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets while you’re away, and I’ll always treat yours with the same love, patience, and attention I’d want for my own. I have a flexible schedule that makes pet care easy to fit into my day. I work a full-time job, but I have work-from-home days as well as the flexibility to take breaks throughout the day when needed. I’m happy to work with you to make sure your pet gets the attention, walks, feeding, and care they need! I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I always follow the owner’s instructions and your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. Whether that means leashed walks, playtime in the yard, feeding, medication, or simply keeping them company, their safety and comfort will always come first.
“1,000,000/5 stars for Jesse’s phenomenal job babysitting my energetic 2 year old pug!! I was in a pinch as a loved one unfortunately passed, leaving me on a time crunch to find a sitter for a funeral. My dog is recovering from eye surgery which initially made me nervous about putting him in someone else’s care. From other reviews, I could instantly tell that Jesse would be the perfect fit, and I could not be happier with the outcome! Jesse went above and beyond with excellent communication, punctuality, a positive attitude, and a relaxed demeanor. My dog and Jesse instantly got along, Jesse was ready to jump right in! I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in great hands, an understatement. Jesse was so awesome that I’m thinking of planning some vacations, I won’t have to even think twice about who to go to for watching my little pup. I’m so happy that my dog has a new buddy and someone I can truly trust. I highly recommend his services and will be spreading the word. If you’re looking for a sitter, JESSE IS THE BEST!!!!!!”

Once again bill has come through for me this time staying overnight with my dogs and house sitting as well. It worked out really well the dogs love him so much. I think the dogs do better knowing that a Holman is in the house..Bill is the best as his wife Kim Is I feel like they are family
Bridgett was a wonderful care taker for our 2 standard poodles. She took them on long walks and sent pictures of them enjoying the sunshine. Bridgett stayed in our home for 8 nights and we came home to a very clean and orderly home. I would definitely use her again.
This is our first time using the Rover service and so glad we did! Rachel was awesome and couldn't asked for better care for our 2 cats. Rachel arrived as expected and stayed and played with them each time, sending pictures along the way. I felt very comfortable with Rachel and how well our babies took to her. Will definitely be using Rachel for future needs. Thanks Rachel!!! 🐾
Randi is fantastic! She was great with my dog, spending lots of time with her while we were away. Our flight was delayed and she was super flexible to work with our new plans so that I didn’t have to worry about the dog while trying to get home. Randi was also very communicative so I didn’t have any worries!

FAQs for House Sitting - Parkland
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Parkland on Rover is $35.31 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 5,348 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.

- 96% 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.
