“Tifaney did a wonderful job. She kept at it when my old baby wouldn't come out of his hiding place until he finally decided she is a 5 star! Great house guest and left things better than before. I will book Tifaney again.”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. Fur babies have a special place in my heart and I will take the best of care of any kind of fur baby. I currently have a two golden doodles(<1), an Australian Shepard(2), miniature Aussie(12) and a cat(13) I rescued from the humane society. I currently work 3 days a week and attend college. I have a pretty flexible schedule other than the days I work from 9 to 6:30. I am available on those days before 9 and after 6:30. I live in a home with a fenced in yard and three large dogs. The dogs typically spend the day with us but when we aren’t home we put them outside in a kennel.

About: I have five dogs ranging from young adult to elderly, chihuahua to German Shepard. I take excellent care of them, my four cats, and will take excellent care of your pets, too! Daily walks, bathing, feeding and playing are all things that I have copious experience with! I have also cared for livestock animals in a professional capacity for a combined total of three years. Horses, a mule, sheep, goats, a hog and chickens are all proud members of my repertoire. I am a full time pet-parent to my own critters, and am more than able to add yours into my daily routine. My spouse and I are staycationers, so most holidays will have us curled up at home and available to assuage your anxieties about your own animals. Nine times out of ten, I can make my schedule work with yours! I treat a client's pet as my own in terms of level of care and attention, but with all the respect included in acknowledging that you obviously know your pet best and I am a guest in your home and your pet's life. I respect all boundaries and rules given to me regardless of personal opinion and strive to always meet client expectations and let you have the peace of mind in knowing that your pet is being taken care of according to YOUR standards.

About: Love & caring for animals isn't for just anyone & everyone. It takes dedication, love, knowledge & patience. My Aunt has a farm that I spent most of my summers growing up. So my love for all animals grew even more from dogs & cats to goats, horses, pigs, horses and my favorite, Rabbits! I was dog walking bathing,sitting and just loving them around age 12. Whatever my neighbors,family & friends needed for their furr babies I would be there to love & care for them. I do have some training abilities but no expert. I know how hard it is to leave your babies & I promise to always communicate, video chat with your furr baby whenever you need. Any special requests your pets needs I'll be there for them. ***IMPORTANT**Please Read***Future clients to know ***I also base my fees on miles driven to clients home, large breed dogs etc... So the price can be adjusted if needed ... Other Example.... Overnight stays, walking, bathing etc . For reasons of me having to leave home to run errands, pay bills etc... I do prefer dogs to be crate trained if possible. I have a fenced in yard with 2 dogs... Bella she's half Mastiff/German Shepherd. Bella & Bear are both create trained. Bear is a Pomeranian that belongs to my daughter. 1 cat "Sparky" Tabby that thinks he's King!!! Currently I do my own schedule, and . So my time will hopefully be available when your furr babies need. I do have other side jobs I do. So I can work around most things for care of your furr baby. (Rates can change depending on the mileage.) I have new fenced in backyard. 1 female dog Bella. She is half mastiff/German Shepherd & rescued her as a pup. Then 1 Tabby Cat Sparky who thanks he's the king! Pomeranian named Bear that behind to my daughter.

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. Both my fiancé and I have lots of experience with caring for senior pups as well as medication. My little family and I are excited and cannot wait to meet you and your furry pal! <3 <3 I’m currently a hairstylist new building up her clientele so I do have a lot of time on my hands to spend with your fur baby. If I’m away from my home it is typically for a few hours during the week, but I do have flexibility with my work so I am able to accommodate you and your pets requests. 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.

About: Dogs come first in my house. I’m always excited to take my dogs on a hike, walk or puppy play date. Unfortunately I recently had to move out of state, leaving my family dogs where they grew up with my parents, in our family home. I have sat numerous dogs both young and old. I am always up for a pup slumber party. I have worked with foster dogs who were abused and need extra love and attention. Any specific requests for them? Let me know and I can be accommodating! I am currently working a part-time schedule with my job as a spa manager. Morning walks or weekend care will fit best within my schedule! I care for pets as if they are my younger siblings. I believe a good dog, is a tired dog! Letting them play and explore helps get extra energy out, allowing them to stay fit and healthy!

FAQs for House Sitting - High Shoals

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 2,570 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.

<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 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 , 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in High Shoals. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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.
