“Amazing pet sitter! He took great care of Benji and Milo, walked them, fed them exactly as instructed, and paid attention to every detail we left. We came home to two happy and relaxed dogs. Highly recommend!”
“There was some unexpected bumps that come up during week stay but Lauren was so gracious and she took Twix to her place. She sent updates everyday with pictures of him. Our somewhat picky dog became a dog that is more laid back, enjoyed their cat and and made many new friends. Lauren gave him the best care along with her family. Twix was so sad to leave their home, he had the best vacation.”
“Nikki was excellent! We received updates throughout our time away and she was quick to respond to our messages. We came home to not only a happy pup but a VERY clean house and such a thoughtful surprise gift. Made our day! Will recommend to others and absolutely rebook.”
“Desiree was great with Madison when she watched yer for the weekend. She was also very responsive to messages and sent photos of our baby. We would definitely hire Desiree again to watch Madison.”
“Our pup absolutely loves the attention she gets from Victory!! She is an elderly sweet dog, and Victory was great giving her all the supplements she needs and attention she craves. We will use her again!!!”
“10/10 would recommend. Brendan was consistently checking in and communicating with me during his stay at my home for the holidays. He also prioritized my pups and was basically at my house the whole time which is amazing for one of my dogs separation anxiety. He also left my home very clean and even put the sheets in the washer for me! Feeling very thankful I found someone my dogs are comfortable with and takes great care of my home. Thank you Brendan!”
About: I have been dog sitting for awhile, I also used to work part time at a boarding facility, but decided to start Rover and have my own clientele. i’ve had all different types of animals all my life and i have had all of my dogs trained inside and outside. I love having pets and also having the ability to help watch other peoples dogs when they go out of town or are working. I love animals all together and love to help others. I currently need a part/ full time job to earn some money. I can work any days throughout the week especially the weekends, and i can always make time for your animals. I have a big back yard and I have collars and leashes and dog toys and treats and food to take care of them while they are at my house.
About: I have a dog and a cat and I love them tremendously. I would care for your pets like I would my own. I am experienced with young and older animals. I work full time during the day but I can walk after work and on the weekends mostly. I am married with three kids but my kids are getting older and I have more time on my hands to work part-time. I would make sure the pet or pets have plenty of water and food (if required). I would walk them or let them out in a fenced yard and clean up as necessary.
About: I’ve always been around animals and grew up with many in my home. I currently own a two four year old German Shepard mixes who are very energetic and love other dogs. They will be a great help to wear your furry friend out and I know they will love to gain a new friend just as much as your pet would. I have raised one of them since she was weeks old and am very experienced with pups of all ages. I have strengthened a lot of training skills since I’ve own her and will love to work with your pet as well and help strengthen their skills along the way. We do have an additional extra large crate with lots of blankets to make your fur baby feel right at home. We also have extra bedrooms and baby gates to provide your fur child with extra space to feel more comfortable in our home. We always recommend to send your pup with their favorite items from home.

I have a fenced in yard and an extra crate to provide your fur child with a safe home and atmosphere. My two friendly dogs love to spend time outside. When indoors my pups love to play and have the space to do so, which also allows your pup to feel safe and jump in on the fun. We offer extra toys, blankets and pillows too, but we would love your baby to have a special item from home to remind them of you while you’re away. I promise to send tons of pet selfies and updates of your baby and do not hesitate to reach out with any questions or updates as needed. We know your fur babies will be happy to hear from you.

FAQs for House Sitting - High Shoals
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 2,533 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across High Shoals. 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 High Shoals 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 High Shoals 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 High Shoals 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.
