“Shelbee is incredibly patient, gentle, and understanding of our pets specific routine and needs. Provided regular photo updates to show us how comfortable our pets became around her. We returned to a happy, stress-free animal. We are so grateful and will definitely rebook!”
About: I am a pet owner myself. I have a 2 year old puppy, great pyrenees and mount bernese mix, Willow. We adopted her at 8 weeks old and have been happy ever since. I’m currently working part time at a local grocery store. I’m free in the evenings Monday-Wednesdays, available all day Thursdays and Fridays. Available late afternoon Saturdays and Sundays. I’ll follow any instruction that is needed to take care of your pet. I can give baths, play with your pet in the backyard, and I will clean any mess your pet makes. If your animal needs a brush, I don’t mind brushing them. I can give your dog walks around the neighborhood.
“Emily did a great job. She was communicative, professional, and my animals loved her. It was evident that she loves animals. She was really helpful in not just one, but two last minute situations where I needed help. I highly recommend her and will certainly be looking to use her in the future.”
“I was so nervous about leaving Chico with someone I’d just met but Julie really made sure I was comfortable. She made two trips to my home beforehand and let me bring Chico over to her home beforehand. I got frequent photos and text updates from her about how things were going. She cared for him as if he was her own. We brought his food and toys to her house in advance. We were able to leave him in his kennel at home and she came and picked him up after we’d left. She made sure he was home in his own kennel before we made it back home. I couldn’t be more pleased. We don’t travel much but if/when we do I will definitely use her again!”
“Sarah did a fantastic job caring for my anxious pup and sweet cat while I was out of town for a week. My dog, Salem, takes a while to warm up to people, but a few days in, he was begging her for butt scratches. I left specific notes regarding my pets’ needs and behaviors and Sarah followed them without a hitch. Thank you, Sarah, for taking care of my babies and home while I was gone!”
“Allison is fantastic! Not only did she communicate with me a few times a day with updates on my sweet older dog, she also helped my neighbor with a small emergency ❤️❤️ I fully trust her and I recommend her 100%.”
About: I have previous experience working at a dog boarding facility for 1 year. I have experience watching dogs for family and friends. I have 3 dogs of my own who are my babies. I’m currently working part time and I am in school online so I have plenty of time to play with your pups. My schedule varies so please let me know what your requests are and I can let you know if they would work with my schedule. I am available on weekdays, weekends, drop ins and for long term stays. I am free to stay overnight or come for day visits. I love to be outdoors with pups or spend time indoors snuggling and watching Netflix!
About: I’ve dog sat and house sat for friends before and they have trusted me with their house and animals, generally for 1 week but sometimes for longer or shorter. I take very good care of the home and animals, listen to instructions careful and apply those instructions in order to be helpful. I will always be upfront and honest with everyone and I always communicate well. I currently work as a full time server at Texas Roadhouse and live by myself. I am not married nor have any kids yet so it’s just me. My schedule is pretty flexible in the morning to early afternoon due to having to serve at night generally. I don’t mind coming in to help before and after work. I don’t have any pets in my own home because I can’t due to landlord rules but I grew up with animals throughout my whole life. I play with the animals if they want to play, pet them, feed them when they need to be fed, take them on walks (dogs), just have fun with them!
“Elizabeth was awesome! Very informative; very sweet. Kept us totally apprised of her schedule and sent pictures of our dog daily. We arrived home to a dog very bonded to Elizabeth. We hope to use her again in the future. Thanks Elizabeth!!”
About: I have taken care of dogs for 10 years. I am always open to learning new routines and meeting different types of breeds. I have experience with puppies, older dogs and even medically fragile dogs. I enjoy spending time with dogs and making sure their cups are full before leaving them. Dogs have such big feelings and deserve to be loved like humans (if not even more) I am an early riser and currently have open availability. My weekends are pretty much open and I make sure to always put the animals first then my own plans. I cannot care for pets at this time in my own home, but I will be willing to travel/stay at their homes in order to keep them safe & comfortable.
About: I’ve always had a love for dogs. Every time I go and dog sit for a relative I always let them know they’re free to stay out longer because I’m probably already in love with your animal. I’ve always taken good care of my dogs and cats and other peoples dogs and cats. I treat dogs as family and just like they’re people. Whatever rules you will leave for me I will follow step by step and leave the dog just how it was before i arrived. Giving a dog company is a very important aspect because dogs need loving and attention just as much as we do. I feel that I am a great applicant for a dog sitting job because I am able to take care of the dog, feed the dog, and give the dog plenty of attention. However, after I leave, your dog will experience extreme sadness for the reason being he’s just had to part with his new best friend. I’m currently in college at JCTC part-time all online! Leaving my availability and attention wide open for your animal(s). I’m available all days of the week and all hours of the day. I’ve always found myself becoming a dog or cat’s best friend. That usually leads to me overcompensating for their needs. If an animal shows any sign of needing something I will literally always stop what I’m doing to make them happy. I just have that thing that animals love. My animals are always fed, always have a full water bowl, and always deserve treats for doing their duties. I’m also a people pleaser, so I’m understanding that different animals and families have different wants and needs and I’m always more than happy to meet those. At the end of the day I want to keep you and your family worry-free and feel 100% safe with me in your place of loving taking care of your alls pet(s).
About: I had the best childhood dog growing up. We loved walks, playing fetch, just hanging out. My passion and love for dogs has helped me become the designated office house sitter. I really have no obligations outside of work and even while working, have flexibility to go home and walk and let animals out for fresh air. Hybrid work model so even have opportunities to work from home. Happy to do whatever is needed. I do tend to spoil animals I watch, but love long walks, fetch, etc. I’ve helped animals that have needed medicine, etc.
About: I’ve been caring for animals for 10+ years and have experience with dogs and cats. I’m comfortable caring for animals with different personalities, routines, and needs. I’m very responsible, active, and genuinely love spending time with animals. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, or just some extra attention and cuddles, I’m happy to help. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away! I’m currently a student-athlete at the University of Louisville and am in my off-season, so I have a flexible schedule. My mornings are typically busy with practice, but I’m available anytime in the afternoon and evening. I’m also available on weekends and can accommodate overnight stays when needed. I’m reliable, flexible, and happy to work around your schedule to make sure your pets get the care and attention they need. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own! I’m big on keeping pets on their normal routine with feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of attention. I also take so many pictures of my own Lab, so you can definitely expect plenty of cute pics and updates of your pets too. I take a lot of pride in keeping my own space clean, so I’ll make sure your home and your pet’s space stay clean and picked up while I’m there. Basically, happy pets + a clean house + photo evidence that they’re having a great time.
“Highest recommendation! Penny represents the utmost in professional care for your pets. We had the great fortune of using her in-home pet sitting while away on vacation. From the get-go, Penny set herself apart with highly responsive communication and respectful punctuality. She was immediately at ease with our pets, and provided numerous daily update photos so we knew everything was going well while we were away. Going further, she patiently provided the extra care our senior dog needs in terms of daily medication and food preparation. Penny is everything a great pet sitter should be!”
“Kelsey was great as always! Love her communication style - even if we’ve touched base throughout the day about random things she will give a brief summary of how the boys did that day with a couple photos of each pup. House was left even cleaner than we left it. We love working with her and I think our dogs might like her even more than they like us 😂.”
About: I’ve taken care of many dogs since I was 10. Family and friends have relied on me to walk, feed and love on their animals. I have a very flexible full time job that allows me to come and go as needed. I always check my schedule to make sure I can. I like to meet the family and pets before I start so that they know who I am and am not a stranger to them. I currently have three family’s that rely on me when they go out of town.
“Run don’t walk, book now with confidence. Our dogs greeted us seeming very well-adjusted (a big deal especially for our older dog who generally lives life with blinders on. Claire clearly made them both feel comfortable, confident and at ease. It was a treat to come home to the bedding changed, laundry folded and dishwasher ran. A delightful and sweet note awaited us AND she reached out to inquire if we got home safely. I feel fortunate to have found her.”
About: Hello! My name is Adrianna and I’m so excited to meet your fur babies! I have 3 dogs of my own: a German shepherd, a husky mix and a golden doodle. I love animals of all types and have experience with special needs dogs, administering medication, and walking reactive dogs. My parents have 4 dogs as well that I routinely care for. I understand how comforting it is to know your pets are in good hands and I would love to be able to be that person for you! I typically work evenings, therefore daytime walks and visits are ideal for me and ensure I have lots of time to spend with your babies. I am happy to provide leashes and poop bags in case they are ever forgotten and i will ensure owners receive updates about their pets regularly.
“Corissa was great with our pups! She was also very understanding and flexible when we had last minute schedule changes. I absolutely recommend and will be rebooking with her soon! Our dogs were well cared for and loved on!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 710 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 , 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.
