Jennifer was easy to communicate with right from the beginning. She kept us updated during the 2 days she kept our elderly dog. Our dog requires medicine and wears diapers which was not a problem for Jennifer. I hope to use her again! Our dog loved her!

We left our cats at home with Debra for two weeks and our cats absolutely loved her. She sent photos and updates of our cats everyday and we always felt that our cats were safe and in good hands. We will definitely book her again, and highly recommend 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.

Velvet was wonderful! Our Bear is an old guy with special needs and medications and Velvet did a great job handling all that he needed. She kept us in the loop on all meals, walks and medications and even sent us photos along the way so we could see how happy he was (maybe too happy without us! LOL). We arrived home to a happy pup and our home safe and sound. We will definitely use Velvet again in the future :)

Tom sacrificed 2 holidays to take care of my dog. Never has anyone taken such good care of my house and pet. He was able to get my dog to walk 3-4 miles a day and Sampson was sad when Tom left. A true caregiver and passionate about his work and animals

My dogs loved Jenelle and so did we! We could tell from the interactions that they were in very capable and loving hands. Throughout the stay, Jenelle sent numerous photos (and texts) of her playing,exercising and cuddling with both Ivy and Harley We left detailed instructions for the care of our house and pets which she followed to our greatest satisfaction. Our house was spotless when we returned and both dogs were happy and content We have finally met a very responsible and affectionate young lady that we can entrust with the care of our home and pets to. We plan on hiring Jenelle in the future and highly recommend her services. When it comes to trusting the care of both home and pets to someone and having peace of mind in doing so, we have been truly blessed with Jenelle. 🙂

Charles took great care of my dog! My dog is a lot to handle but Charles was more than capable. He came by for a meet & greet to get familiar with him and I definitely felt comfortable enough to leave to a multiple day festival while he watched my dog. Charles was also very respectful of my apartment and my neighbors who like to hang out with my dog on his walks only had positive things to say. Would definitely recommend and book again.

I can’t thank Jacqueline enough for the amazing care she gave my dog. From the moment she took care of her, I could tell how loving, caring, and attentive she was. She treated my dog like her own and made sure she felt comfortable, happy, and well cared for. It gave me such peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. Jacqueline was wonderful with her, and I truly appreciate all the love, patience, and attention she gave her. I would absolutely recommend Jacqueline to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to take care of their pets. ❤️🐾

About: I have hands-on experience with farm animals, dogs, and cats, and I genuinely love meeting pets where they’re most comfortable. Whether your pet needs playtime, structure, or snuggles, I’ve got them covered. I am currently working full time M-F. I am available after 5pm on weekdays and all through out the day Saturday & Sunday. Sunday mornings we I am unavailable from 9:30 to 11:30 for church. I love getting out on local trails for long walks, or if your pet prefers being in their home I am happy to spend time with them there. We can throw the ball in the backyard or be couch potatoes.

Makayla did a great job with our dog, Danny Boy. She was timely and communicated with me as needed. She was also flexible with the start time. Danny Boy took to her immediately. He gets a little anxious and howls sometimes, which Makayla witnessed. She calmed him down and he was fine. Makayla also dispensed his allergy meds. I recommend Makayla and will use her again.

Bailey did a meet and greet with us in advance. He was prompt and provided detailed daily updates and photos. One of our dogs was anxious when we left, and he did a great job coaxing him into relaxing. Will definitely hire again!

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 $52.5 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 827 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
  • 99% 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.
