“Cait and Kirk stayed in our home for two weeks with our cat and dog. We feel so lucky to have found them - They took such great care of our animals and our home! Cait sent photo updates and provided little snippets about what the animals had been up to throughout the week. We were so worried about leaving the animals for two whole weeks (specially during the holidays) and Cait/Kirk exceeded our expectations! They spent time playing with them, giving them extra attention, and assuring they felt safe/comfortable with their individual personalities. We would highly recommend booking them and trusting them with your pets! Addie and Kora miss them already.”
“This was our first time using Rover and finding Candice was such a blessing! Our dates were on short notice and she made the effort to do our meet and greet same day as the booking! We have a new puppy and another dog with separation anxiety, and Candice was able to stay at our home for the weekend to care for them! She sent videos and pictures every day and you could see how much happier they were being in their own home with someone to care for them versus a strange kennel. I would definitely recommend Candice and will be keeping her as my pet sitter moving forward!”
“Simone took such good care of Ollie while we were away! She’s so sweet and kind, and Ollie loved her. She sent several photos and a video, which we loved! We will definitely rebook!”

I’m available for dog walking and pet sitting in your home, and I’ll treat your pets with the same love and attention I give my own. I live in Bentonville. I’m currently working on my master’s degree, so my schedule is very flexible throughout the day. I’m happy to work with your schedule to make sure your pets get the care and attention they deserve! I will care for your pets in your home, giving them plenty of love and attention. I’ll play with them, throw the ball, and take them on walks to keep them happy, active, and comfortable while you’re away.
“Tyler was absolutely wonderful with our dogs and cat He was incredibly kind, attentive, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. It was clear he genuinely cared about them and took great care of their needs. We really appreciated the updates and the peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. We came home to happy, well-cared-for animals and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We would happily book with Tyler again in the future and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter! 🐾❤️”
“Tammy was such a great help while we were on vacation. We got great photos and detailed messages about how they were doing. She has such a love for animals and I know they were so spoiled with affection while she was there. We even had a last minute emergency and she was happy to help us out with a last minute drop in visit and left the place cleaner than she found it! We will definitely be using Tammy anytime we are away!”
“Thanks for your exceptional care of our animals while we’re gone on long trip. Jackie did a great job while we were away even helped with our teenager, getting her to orientation at school before we were able to get back. The Dogs said that Jackie was fun to play with and hang out with while watching TV.”
About: I am a farm girl and I possess a genuine passion for animals. My experience includes supervising and house sitting, handling various types of pets, administering medication, etc. I am dedicated to ensuring the well-being and happiness of pets under my care. I currently work part-time, so I have a very flexible schedule and am available most times throughout the week. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention and care while you’re away. I’m dependable, attentive, and happy to accommodate different schedules for walks, check-ins, or overnight house sitting. I have two cats and several fish so I understand how important it is to have a schedule set. I am very attentive and can stay over nights if needed. I have experience with small and large animals as well as exotic pets
About: I grew up with animals! I have had a dog in my home since I was born and I believe that they are truly a part of the family. I work full time, so I am happy to help with your furry friend for overnights and weekends! I can do afternoon check ins on my break depending on location. I do not currently have any pets, so I am able to give all my attention to yours :) I am a runner and stay active - so I can take hyperactive dogs for a run or to the park for some exercise!
“She took care of my boys (one geriatric and one that’s basically a teenager) and did a great job with both! She even cleaned and mopped when my older man had accidents and went out of her way to buy and give them treats. :)”
“Courtney was absolutely wonderful! She sent many updates, photos, and videos throughout the weekend. I know our animals were in great hands and we came home to them being very happy and well taken care of. We will definitely be using Courtney in the future!”
About: I have a remarkable talent for connecting with both dogs and cats, a skill that comes from my deep understanding of their unique personalities and needs. My patience and empathy shine through in every interaction, allowing me to build trust with even the most timid animals. With dogs, I excel at training and behavior modification, using positive reinforcement techniques that create a fun and encouraging atmosphere. Your keen observation skills help you recognize subtle cues, enabling you to communicate effectively and forge strong bonds. Whether it’s teaching a puppy to sit or helping a rescue dog overcome fear, your dedication and expertise make a real difference. When it comes to cats, my intuitive nature allows you to understand their more nuanced behaviors. You know how to create a safe, inviting environment that encourages them to come out of their shells. My ability to read their body language helps you foster trust, making even the most aloof cats warm up to you. Overall, my skills with dogs and cats highlight not just your knowledge but your genuine love for animals. You have a special gift for nurturing their well-being and happiness, creating a harmonious space where they can thrive. I am free most weeks and travel some weekends fo my Job. I work in the music industry so my schedule is very flexible month to month. I am a very loving and caring person when it comes to my pets. My dog Gigi is the center of my world and I love her very much and love to make sure she is fed well with organic food as well as very active outside with walks and playing frisbee in the park or going on hikes.
“Elijah did a wonderful job taking care of our two dogs and our cat while we were away for over two weeks. He took the time to meet our pets beforehand, which made us feel comfortable leaving them in his care. Throughout our trip, he sent regular pictures and updates that gave us peace of mind. His schedule required a little flexibility on a few days, but he communicated well, and it had no impact on our pets' care. We came home to happy, healthy animals and had no issues with our home. We really appreciate the care Elijah provided and will definitely be using him again. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“Glen was great with all 3 of my dogs. He allowed them to maintain their daily schedules creating very little disruption. He was in contact on a daily basis and sent pictures to confirm his visits. My dogs did not seemed stressed at all upon my return. As a matter of fact, my older dog that usually requires anxiety meds did not need them.”
About: Hey there! My name is Annie Webb and I have been working with animals and dogs since I was 15 (I’m now 22!) I worked at a dog boarding kennel in Prairie Grove and my duties included • Managing the kennel area, which includes cleaning and caring for the dogs staying there. Administering medication orally or injection. • Assisting in the care of about 60 sheep that live on the farm, this includes feeding, water, administering vaccinations, and many other tasks. • Communicating with customers about the care and schedule their animal requires, as well as the handling of money and scheduling drop-offs and pick-ups. I also have been in dog grooming since 2024. I started at PetSmart and worked there for 2 years. While there I completed and graduated from their grooming program. From there I went to 2 other salons before deciding to take a break while attending school. Because of my experience I have also dealt with my fair share of different levels of anxious dogs. I pride myself on being able to calmly care for dogs that have a higher anxiety level due to a new experience or person. I am calm and confident and dogs are drawn to my demeanor. I’m currently in college but I have plenty of time in between classes as well as evenings. I also don’t have class on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, as well as weekends off to give your pet the proper attention they deserve! I have a fenced yard and a house. I also have a 4 year old cocker spaniel who loves people and pets, I also have a cat that loves people and gets along well with other cats and dogs!
About: I am a responsible care taker and have enjoyed taking care of many pets, most especially dogs. Big or small. Lazy or hyper... I love animals! My name is Sharon. I am a mom and grandma. I currently work remotely from home as my primary employment. I enjoy reading literature and walking in the park. If you need someone loving and responsible to care for your pet, it could be me! I work remotely from home (on my pc) during certain scheduled hours through out the week for my primary job. Since my work is flexible it leaves plenty of time for quality pet care. I plan to drive to my client's home and take care of their pets as per their wishes. I also have a fenced in yard and a sidewalk where I live so pet sitting at my home is also an option.

The average cost of House Sitting in Highfill is $72 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $70 and $89 per night.

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 Highfill 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 Highfill 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 Highfill 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.
