I booked Jennifer just a few days before my week-long vacation after my original sitter canceled. Thankfully, she was available and incredibly accommodating. She sent me several updates each day about my senior dog, which gave me so much peace of mind. When I returned home, my house was spotless!

Debra was absolutely fantastic. She was outstanding from our initial contact, which was prompt and quite pleasant, to the way she cared for our "Stella" and maintained our home. We received daily photos and updates and would highly recommend her without hesitation. Debra is caring, kind, accommodating, trust worthy and top on our list for home/pet sitting.

Katie was absolutely incredible and I truly cannot recommend her enough!! From the very start, I could tell Luigi felt comfortable with her which says EVERYTHING!! The moment she got out of her car to greet us, he immediately took to her and that is not something he does with everyone. She provided so many updates and pictures which gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. I never once had to wonder how he was doing. One of the biggest things that stood out to me was her honesty. Instead of just saying everything was perfect (which other sitters have said while I knew he wasn’t perfectly fine), she shared that Luigi definitely missed us. I appreciated that more than anything because it showed how in tune she was with him. Even better, she didn’t just leave it at that. She actively worked to engage him and get him moving which is so important for a dog’s mental well being. She took him on walks, paid close attention to his needs, and truly treated him like her own. You can tell Katie genuinely cares and goes above and beyond. Luigi and I are both so grateful to have found her!!!

Allison was able to extend her care for my dog when my return flight was delayed. She came in clutch in an emergency. She is conscientious, caring and kind. She adjusted to the routine my elderly dog was used to so things stayed consistent for him. It helped out a lot and he was clearly happy and well cared for.

Kara saved the day for us. We had a family member set to watch our pets and they fell ill. Very last minute, she was able to swoop in and take on my crew. She did a wonderful job with them! Everything was as it was when we left, if not better! The dogs were well loved and so were our guinea pigs. I’ve had sitters in the past that leave the dogs in their crates for long hours and she never did that. She even stayed later to be sure they didn’t have to be alone long. We already have her booked to use her again in October, and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter. Thank you Kara!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes since I was 10. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets, including senior dogs and puppies. I provide personalized attention to every dog, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and happy! Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. I ensure dogs get plenty of exercise, attention, and care through scheduled walks, feeding, and playtime. I’m flexible with morning, afternoon, and evening visits to accommodate each pet’s needs. I prioritize safety by following pet parents’ instructions, maintaining a secure environment, and ensuring dogs are always supervised. Whether in my home or theirs, I provide a clean, stress-free, and loving space where pets feel comfortable and cared for.

About: I have two dogs of my own, Francesco, my sweet 11 yr old, and Zhukey, my energetic four yr old, and they’ve taught me everything about what dogs really need at every stage of life. I have an especially tender place in my heart for older dogs, the slower walks, the extra cuddles, the little quirks that make them so special. Every pet I care for gets the same love I give my own. 🐶​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ I am happy to work with most routines and arrangements. Whether you need something regular or just occasional help, I’ll do my best to make it work for you and your furry family. I come to you, which I think is the sweetest gift you can give your pet while you’re away. They get to stay right where they feel most at home, in their own space, on their own walks, with all their favorite things around them. I’ll follow their routines with love and care, and treat your home with the utmost respect. You’ll be able to relax knowing your baby is cozy, loved and right where they belong.

Jacqueline stayed overnight with my two cats. From our first contact she was so prompt answering messages. I’ve had other sitters and she is one of the few who actually showed up on time and was there when she said she would be. I returned to find my house in tiptop shape. I highly recommend her. She’s a real sweetheart!

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. You will never find someone more caring, dedicated, trustworthy, and genuinely passionate about what she does than Shana. From the moment we left, she sent constant pictures and updates that gave us complete peace of mind and made it so clear how loved and cared for our puppy was. She went above and beyond every single thing we asked for, and then some. She took our puppy on walks, car rides, and even to the pet store for treats. Because our rescue puppy still struggles with the crate, Shana even stayed extra so she wouldn’t be alone long waiting for us to get home. That level of compassion is something you don’t get from just anyone. On top of all of that, she cleaned our entire house spotless, and I truly mean spotless. Our home was honestly in better shape than when we left. I’m a Rover sitter myself, and Shana completely redefined my standards for what an amazing pet caregiver looks like. I have genuinely never met someone more caring or more invested in doing an incredible job in any field. We are beyond grateful for her and feel so lucky to have found her.

FAQs for House Sitting - Harbour Heights

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Harbour Heights on Rover is $56 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 830 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Harbour Heights. 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 Harbour Heights 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 Harbour Heights 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 Harbour Heights 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 Harbour Heights. On Rover:

  • 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
