About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 13 years old and have always had a deep love for animals. Over the years, I’ve helped rescue and care for many pups, giving them a safe, loving, and happy environment. Since high school, I’ve also provided trusted house sitting and pet care for families in my neighborhood, gaining experience with dogs of different sizes, breeds, personalities, and routines. I currently have two large dogs of my own, so I’m very comfortable handling bigger breeds, high-energy pups, feeding schedules, long walks, playtime, and maintaining consistent routines. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away, and I always treat every dog like family. I’m dependable, attentive, patient, and highly communicative, and I make it a priority to keep owners updated with messages and photos for peace of mind. Whether it’s dog walking, overnight house sitting, administering basic care, or providing companionship and attention, I’m committed to making sure your pets feel loved, exercised, and stress-free in your absence. I am currently home from college for the summer and have plenty of free time during my day to take care of your pups! I am available to walk your doggo anytime during the day and want to make this process stress-free. If there is a time that your pup does better walking, I want to make that possible for you. For dog walking and pet sitting, I focus on creating a safe, fun, and comfortable experience for every pet. During walks, I make sure dogs get the exercise, attention, and stimulation they need while also prioritizing safety and positive behavior. I’m comfortable handling dogs of all sizes and energy levels, including larger breeds, since I have two large dogs of my own. For pet sitting, I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I make sure pets feel comfortable, loved, and relaxed while their owners are away by giving them plenty of companionship and attention. I’m dependable, patient, and highly attentive to each dog’s individual needs and personality. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident knowing their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for.
About: I want to point out first, I do work a full time job Monday-Friday and the hours are 7:30-4, so this is my side hustle! I wanted to be open and transparent before you book with me! I’ve owned dogs my entire life. I currently have a white lab/golden retriever mix that is just under a year old, her name is Maggie! I’ve taken care of friends and families pets since I was about 17. The animals I’ve watched have included dogs, cats, and guinea pigs! My favorites are my senior animals who just want to lounge but I love taking my younger ones to the park to play as well! I’m currently working full time during the week but available to pet sit or take care of them after work. I build in time to my daily schedule to accommodate walks, feeding time, and play time! I am more than happy to provide references from my other clients to help ease your mind. I also have experience in having to crate animals and keeping them separate if needed.
“We were so blessed to have found Rick on this site. Our girls are our fur babies and are treated like children not just a dog. Rick became their new daddy for over a week. They were allowed to roam and sit where they wanted. Snuggled up with him on the couch or in the bed. Seemed so comfortable and calm when we returned. Was sent photos while we were gone putting us at ease. Highly recommend.”
“Ross was great! We requested a meet and greet before we set up an appointment and he was more than happy to come to the house a month ahead of time and meet our dogs. Our dogs welcomed him like he was one of the family. We knew then it was going to be a good match. Ross was outstanding when it came to communication. We were getting a little worried a few days before our vacation as we had some plans fall through with previous pet sitters. Then I received a text from Ross the following day just following up on what we needed from him. He did daily check ins with us and sent us a picture each day of our puppies. I remember saying on our last day of vacation - that I never felt so relaxed on a vacation because I for once didn’t have to worry about my dogs while I was gone. If we go on vacation, we would love for Ross to come to the house again - but if not able to - we surely hope the next person meets the standards he set in place. Thank you Ross!”
About: Hi! My name is Kaylee, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. I have several years of experience caring for both dogs and cats through friends, family, and people in my community. I've worked with big and small dogs of all personalities and energy levels, as well as cats that need extra patience and care. Because I am currently disabled and unable to work a traditional job, I have a very open and flexible schedule. This allows me to give pets lots of attention, spend extra time with them, and be available for long visits, overnight stays, or last minute bookings whenever possible. Your pets will never feel rushed or ignored with me. The only service I'm unable to provide is dog walking, but I'm happy to do just about everything else including feeding, playtime, potty breaks, medication schedules, overnight care, companionship, and keeping pets comfortable while you're away. I truly love animals and treat every pet like they are part of my own tamily. I also have pets of my own, so l understand how important it is to trust the person caring for them. Whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, or just having someone nearby, l'Il make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. i am available almost all the time. i can care for your pets for a period of time if needed. i have watched my family’s cats while their on vacation for 1-2 weeks at a time. i just may need to go home and come back in between. i will do whatever is needed to safely take care of your pet while you are away. just let me know what that is for you.

My goal is to ensure your pets feel safe, loved, and happy while you're away:)
“Madison did an amazing job pet-sitting for our golden retriever, Charlie, and our cat, Beesly. She followed all of our instructions carefully, gave both pets excellent care, and treated our home with respect while staying there. We came home to happy pets and everything exactly as we left it, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We would highly recommend Madison to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter, and we would absolutely book with her again!”
“Emily is an absolute pro! Kind hearted, considerate and our pets loved her! Outstanding communicator, sharing many photos and updates. She’s very tidy and was kind to our home. She’s really good with animals and is just a great person. Highly recommend!”
“Madison went above and beyond in every way. I cannot recommend her enough. She took such good care of our dogs while we were away, communicating throughout, and treated them like her own.”
About: Hello, I am Kelsey. I have two dogs of my own, a beagle named Rocky and pit mix named Maya Lou. During my years at University and after graduating, I have continued to house sit for my friends and parents friends. I care and love for each pet as I would my own. If you like , I always send videos or pictures of pets to their owners to keep them updated while their away. I promise your pet is in good hands with me. I can provide references from past pet owners that I’ve handled their pets if needed. Just ask me and will send them to you. I look forward to meeting each and everyone of your pets. Pets are better than people 🐶❤️
“Leanna was amazing with our babies! She was a wonderful communicator, very responsible, and respectful of our home. Our dogs mean the world to us and being able to go on vacation and relax and not have to worry about them is priceless! Will definitely be hiring her again”
“We had Kaitlyn stay at our home over Memorial Day weekend to care for our two dogs, and she was absolutely fantastic! She went above and beyond, doing two home visits before her stay to get to know our pups and ensure they were comfortable with her. One of our dogs is 15 years old, deaf, on several medications, and prone to wandering at night—which requires a lot of patience and attentiveness. Kaitlyn handled it all with care and compassion. Her communication was excellent; we received daily updates with photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. When we returned home, the house was spotless and, most importantly, both dogs were calm and relaxed. That’s not always the case—so it was clear they felt safe and cared for. We couldn’t be more grateful for the exceptional care Kaitlyn provided and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, communicative, and genuinely caring sitter.”
About: I’ve had all type of pets from sugar Glider’s dogs ferrets fish for over 10 years I love all kind of animals yours to . Pet care naturally fits into my everyday life because I enjoy building my schedule around giving animals the attention and care they deserve. I have the flexibility to provide dependable visits throughout the day for feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and companionship. I understand how important it is to keep pets on their normal routine, and I make reliability a priority. Caring for cats isn’t just something I do—it’s something I genuinely enjoy. Whether it’s spending time playing with an energetic kitten, keeping a senior cat comfortable, or simply providing quiet companionship for a shy cat, I make sure each pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. I also keep pet owners updated with photos and messages so they can have peace of mind while they’re away. We have a high privacy fence with big back yard where they will play with our dogs and play ball tug-of-war and other fun games
About: Ive taken car of, raised, and trained dogs my entire life. Ive always had a knack for it, and i love it. I’ve administered and given more medications than i can count. Ive dealt with dogs in heat, dogs after surgery. You name it, I've learned my way through it. Let me take care of and love on your babies. And of COURSE they can sleep with me 🫶🏼 I work from home and can maximize time with your baby! I can do any weekend you may need, for check ins, walks, or consistent care. Nightly care is optional through the week, as are walks and check ins. I have a no fence yard. I would be walking them when they need to go potty. If you prefer crates, please bring one. Dogs are allowed to roam free in the home all day, and allowed on furniture.
“We didn’t get to use Diane this time. Our 14 year old Border Collie, Mouse, passed right before Diane was supposed to sit. My husband ended up canceling his trip and stayed home with our cats. However, Diane was very professional and friendly during our meet and greet and extremely empathetic upon finding out about Mouse.”
“Savannah was amazing! Our dogs can sometimes take a bit to warm up but she ensured us they would be fine and we felt very comfortable leaving them with her. Not only did she take great care of our pups, our house was cleaner than when we left! I can't say enough good things about Savannah. We will definitely be using her services again!”
“Amber was amazing with my pups! She was so caring and attentive to their needs and kept me informed! She went above and beyond to make sure they were comfortable and well taken care of! I can’t express how relieving it was for me to know my dogs were with someone who cared so much about them.”
“Julie went above and beyond. She and her family loved our dogs. We received daily photos and updates. She came and had a meet and greet with us ahead of time. She was just phenomenal! Our dogs were happy and healthy when we returned for them. I cannot express how grateful I am. I will definitely use Julie’s services again in the future!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 757 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:
- 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 99% 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.
