“Nick did a great job taking care of my dog and cats. He provided great communication and was reliable. I will be booking him again in the future. I would definitely recommend him to friends.”
“Letitia did an excellent job of house sitting with Dash, our English Setter. He can be a handful. We came home to a happy dog and a clean house. Letitia also sent us photos and updates on how Dash was doing.”
“Suzie was a great dog sitter! She watched Chipper for 2 nights and I felt very comfortable with the updates and pictures she sent!! Suzie was very nice and took great care of Chipper!! She also kept out place near and tidy. I definitely recommend Suzie and would book her again without question!”
“Cadence will always be the best sitter we’ve ever had for our cat, Miso! We would not hesitate to choose Cadence again & again to take care of our place and Miso. Thank you for being so sweet to our lil family!”
“We were so happy with Cambria! We were grateful to have someone caring for our puppies on the Fourth of July evening. It gave us such peace of mind, and we truly appreciate her. We look forward to contacting Cambria again in the future! 🐾❤️”
“Makeda was very accommodating when I requested an orientation visit a week or so before the scheduled dogsitting, and impressed me not only by the details she had requested about my dog in advance but also with her recall of what I had told her. She sent several photos of my dog to me while I was away, and apart from a scattering of treats she left for my pet, she otherwise left no trace--very clean and respectful.”
“Tony was excellent. We were out of town for 11 days, he sent us updates and photos. He is an amazing communicator. Our flight canceled coming home and I had my sister go pick up the dogs, she said that the dogs were so calm and happy. He also left my house spotless. I couldn't be more happy with Tony's services. We will be going out of town a few more times this year, Tony will be our FIRST choice, nd hopefully only choice. We couldn't be more happy with the respect and love he gave to our home and our dogs. Thanks Again Tony.”
About: Hi! My name is Katy and I would love to join your pet family! I am a former K9 handler for a court support dog, meaning I went through extensive training on how to best understand my dog and their needs (sometimes we humans need more training than our dogs!). Before my official title of a K9 Handler, I was a volunteer with canine companions as a puppy raiser. I had the opportunity to raise a young puppy and teach him basic commands, he later went on to doggy college and then to work with his forever human. I currently have a pet labradoodle that loves on my kids and enjoys outdoor time. I work remotely on Tuesdays and Fridays and happy to check on dogs before work, lunch, and after work. I work 9am-5pm, but am flexible to work with your pets potty breaks and other needs. Let me know what you need for your pets safety, trust, and environment. Every doggy is different, and I would love to cater to them.
“I appreciate Marilyn staying with the boys again, for an at house sitting with my 2 pups. I would reccomend her to friends needing extra help for day trips or at home support. Thanks again 🙂”
“Was our first time using Chloe and she stayed 4 days with our fur baby! We were so happy with her and she spoiled him with daily walks, cuddles and playtime! She sent pictures of him and he always looked so happy with her. She went beyond what we asked and came home to a happy boy and a clean house. ( which wasn’t expected)”
About: I have a wide open schedule for the next 4 months and will be changing availability with the start of school! I have owned dogs and cats my entire life and I have taken care of neighbors and friends animals on and off for years. I have experience with many types of dogs and I have a true love for all animals; I am able to provide dog walking, drop in visits and dog sitting at this time. I am unable to board at my house at this time but I am happy to dog sit at your home and take care of your pet any way you see fit. I am currently looking to use pet care as my income during summer while I am in Grad school, after august I intend to scale back to weekends and after classes! I follow instructions from pet parents to the letter, I love and respect all animals and I ensure that pet parents can feel safe leaving their pets in my care!
“Elaine took great care of my dogs and kept me updated with photos the whole time I was gone! I felt they were well taken care of and my puppy can be a handful, so she was much appreciated! She also took care of things around my house when a storm was coming in which was very thoughtful. I definitely recommend Elaine!”
“Laurie Beth was best friend with our fur-babies in no time! 10/10 would recommend Laurie Beth to anyone who is looking for some extra attention or a sleep over with their pet.”
“Averie did a great job pet setting for our 18 year old dog Remy. She provided a calm, nurturing presence for him that made him feel comfortable. I would highly recommended Averie for house sitting/pet sitting.”
“Andy was absolutely amazing with our three dogs: our two senior boys Parker and Shane, and our 3 month old puppy Rome. Andy handled everything so well and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. He kept us updated and sent lots of photos, which meant so much to us. It was clear our dogs were happy, comfortable, and getting lots of love and attention. We’re incredibly thankful for the care he gave them and would absolutely trust Andy to watch our pups again. ♥️”
“Melissa is a fantastic dog sitter! She took excellent care of my dogs while I was out of town for the weekend and was so sweet she even vacuumed before I got home. I would highly recommend Melissa to anyone looking for someone to take extra special care of their puppers!”
“Air was so great!! Bubba can be aggressive, depending on how you approach him, and he immediately ran up to her and gave her a kiss 🥹 He won’t do a lot of things while I’m gone, but she got him to go outside, potty, fetch, and eat cheese - things he wouldn’t even do for my family off the bat. I appreciated the updates throughout the day, as well as the pictures. This was my first time using Rover, and I’m so glad that I chose Air to watch Bubba while I was visiting for a wedding 🩷 I would ABSOLUTELY rebook if I lived there!!”
About: I’m very excited to work with you!🌈🌻💛 I've been caring for a variety of animals ever since I started high school. I love them so much, I'm dedicating my life to saving each and every one I can as I study to become a veterinarian :) I have experience from high school and college as well as personal experience with animals of my own. I’ve interned with veterinarians in my previous studies and continue to pursue my passion in advanced animal science college classes. From cats, dogs, birds, reptiles, rodents, donkeys, pigs, and even the goats at the LA zoo — I’ve learned a lot! ｡:ﾟ૮ ˶ˆ ﻌ ˆ˶ ა ﾟ:｡ I care for my pets as precisely as I possibly can depending on their needs. Considering I have experience caring for senior dogs and have one of my own, I am very familiar with the strict diets and medical needs. I would say senior dogs are my specialty, so if you’re looking for a trustworthy sitter to look after your golden girl or boy you’ve come to the right gal😎 I work part time and have online classes, so my schedule is very flexible. Just let me know what times work best for you and I'll do my best to work with your schedule! For in home stays, walks, and daycare visits I attach an Apple Air Tag connected to my phone onto pets' collars during their stay/walk as well as a tag with my contact info in case of an emergency. As long as the collar is on, I'd be able to find a lost pet anywhere, I take safety very seriously! ｡:ﾟ૮ ˶ˆ ﻌ ˆ˶ ა ﾟ:｡ I also have a Wyze camera and relatives who work from home so any doggies staying home if I’m out will always be watched :)

Jennifer was very responsive and attentive to detail. She was able to provide all the necessary compassion and needs for my 4 legged family members to feel comfortable for an at home overnight stay. I would both recocomend her to new clients and look forward to having her back. Thanks! 🙂

FAQs for House Sitting - Highland
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Highland on Rover is $42.18 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 2,181 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Highland. 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 Highland 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 Highland 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 Highland 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 Highland. 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.
