About: Through volunteering at an animal shelter, I’ve had the opportunity to work with many kinds of dogs. From senior dogs to puppies! All of which I am capable of caring for. I’m currently a full time student at RCC, I major in music so I have a flexible schedule that can accommodate any of my clients demands. I will play with your pets and give them unconditional love and affection. They will receive a walk and a free treat. If there are special needs or requests, I ask you to let me know.
“Lynna was a wonderful dog sitter and houseguest. She communicated clearly, followed all directions, and went above and beyond in the care for our pup. There was never any doubt in our mind that our dog was well taken care of! We 100% recommend her and will be calling her back again.”
“Anna was a wonderful pet and housesitter! She took excellent care of our dog and cat. Our dog is a rescue with some special needs and she bonded with her and cared for her perfectly. Her experience with animals shows. Our family highly recommends this caring, trustworthy, responsible petsitter!”
“Amanda did a great job taking care of my 7 month old bernadoodle. She also took care of my home and garden. I would highly recommend her services! I loved that she sent me pictures of my baby!”
About: I have cared for dogs most of my life. I have owned a German Shepherd, a Labrador, and a Chihuahua. I am comfortable with all sizes and temperaments. I have raised a puppy and also trained rescue dogs. Dogs have helped me through hard times. I believe every dog deserves the access to a healthy life. Pet care fits well into my daily routine. My availability may vary at the moment due to other commitments, but I am willing to communicate my schedule clearly and do my best to provide reliable care. I focus on safety and comfort at all times. I follow all instructions given by the owner and ensure the pet is comfortable. I will be in constant communication with owner when needed to make sure their pet is happy and safe!
“Isabel is an absolute gem!! She sat with our spoiled pups all day and they loved her! She is a great communicator, reliable and most importantly, it’s obvious she loves dogs! I will definitely hire Isabel again and highly recommend her!”
About: - Volunteered for years at Mary S Roberts Pet Adoption Center - Dog mom of a Beagle Labrador mix for 6 years - Grew up raising senior dogs since I was little ❤️ I work for the school district, so I am unemployed until school starts again meaning I have plenty of time to check on your little babies! I’m available pretty much anytime, any day of the week! I am a very loving pet owner and believe that mutual respect is key to understanding any pet! By respecting the wishes and boundaries of animals, I can gain the trust and bond needed to make them happy!
“Mae did a great job taking care of our corgis. When I returned home they were happy and safe and feed. She is trust worthy and sent pictures of the puppies. She as booked with us last minute on new years which was amazing help to us. My house was also how I left it. Would definitely book again. Thank you Mae.”
“My husband and I were very nervous about having a stranger watch our babies. Hillary was very understanding and she kept us informed throughout her entire stay. We have 2 older dogs that required extra attention, she gave them their medications, monitored their eating and kept us up to date on their status. Hillary went above and beyond, she washed the dishes and the sheets in the room she stayed in. We would definitely hire her again.”
“This was my second booking with Jose with this one being quite a bit longer at 6 nights. He did a wonderful job taking care of Riley and my place. I’ll definitely be booking him again!”
“Jyla is fantastic. She was able to watch our two dogs on short notice and they seemed very happy when we got back (in a good way as if they had a great time with her). She also cleaned up after them in the backyard which we told her she didn't have to do. And our house was exactly as we had left it. Additionally, Jyla is such a sweet person and I would book her again if/when we need another pet sitter and when she is back in our area again. Thank you so much Jyla!”
“Larissa was able to spend a few days with our pups on next to no notice due to a family emergency. She put us at ease during our initial meet up and did a lovely job taking care of our pups/home while we were away. Looking forward to having her stay in our home again soon.”
“Sarah took great care of our kitty and our home. Our cat can be skittish and anxious around new people, but she they immediately vibed so well! We could tell in our daily updates that she was having so much fun and bonding with Sarah.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Highgrove is $50

Mahasin was wonderful to work with. She has great communication, showed up when she said she would, and left my home in beautiful condition. My dog was cared for and happy when I got home and pictures she sent told me he was doing well while I was away. I would recommend her without hesitation and would happily use her in the future.
Rachelle was a life saver! We booked last minute and although we were scared of leaving our fur babies behind along with our house she definitely made us feel comfortable. She communicated with us and sent us pictures of our dogs. We also appreciated that she waited for us to come back from our trip, felt like the longest 4 days but we were completely happy with her service 🫶
Mae was absolutely wonderful with Felix. She treated him with so much care and affection, as if he were her own pet. They bonded very quickly, and it was clear that Felix truly enjoyed his time with her. She was also an excellent communicator, punctual, reliable, and very attentive to details. I felt completely comfortable leaving Felix in her care, and I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, trustworthy, and caring pet sitter.
Javi is awesome with my cats. He is also prompt and timely with responses. He manages the home details, cleaning trash, mail and overall safety for my kitties. He is very self sufficient and pays attention to small details about the cats and my home. Highly recommend Javi!
Jizelle did an amazing job watching my 3 dogs on New Year’s Eve. I have a senior dog with dementia that needs medication and she did a wonderful job administering the medication and watching over him throughout the night. She arrived early and was great at communicating with me throughout the night and sending me photos. Would definitely have Jizelle watch my dogs again!
Lynna was a wonderful dog sitter and houseguest. She communicated clearly, followed all directions, and went above and beyond in the care for our pup. There was never any doubt in our mind that our dog was well taken care of! We 100% recommend her and will be calling her back again.
Chloe has given the most amazing sitting service ever! My dog Bubba already misses her! She came fully prepared and handled the job with ease! She’s a professional and has a passion for these animals! Bubba wanted to leave with her at the end of the day! Anyone would be blessed to have Chloe as their sitter! Thank you so much Chloe, you deserve way more stars than just 5!
Nathan is fantastic! I could tell at our first conversation how much he loves animals and he could be trusted to care for my dog. And I was not wrong. He gave Ike the best care and took great care of the house too. He gave regular updates and sent pictures. Ike is so happy to see him. Nathan is more than a sitter, he is part of the family now. I can't think of anyone better to care for my boy when I travel. Thank you Nathan!
It was my first time using Rover and Kristina took amazing care of my timid pup. By the end of the day he was so tired because he was having so much fun with her. 10/10 would recommend Kristina she’s amazing at what she does! She sent videos and pictures and stayed on schedule perfectly. I had an amazing experience!
Sofia is a real gem! She sent pictures and videos every day and I could see my dogs were content and happy. When I got home my house was spotless. She had the sheets in the washer, blankets in the dryer, and clean dishes in the dishwasher. I know she loved on my dogs because they didn't want her to leave when I got home. Highly, highly recommend!

FAQs for House Sitting - Highgrove
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Highgrove on Rover is $55.65 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 2,923 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Highgrove. 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 Highgrove 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 Highgrove 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 Highgrove 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 Highgrove. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
