About: I have a deep love for animals and have a fair amount of knowledge and care from my own experience and research on how to care for them. I’d love to work with you to make sure your animals are taken care of and happy. And if your okay with it I will probably cuddle with them if they let me hahaha Im currently not working so I’m generally very free and available! Please reach out and I’m happy to see if we can work out the time frame! I have a sweet pug upstairs and unfenced and fenced area in the back yard. Lots of dog beds and area to eat and hangout and air conditioning. Depending on your dog I will customize what I can!

About: I have had dogs my entire life, and have cats. I have pet and house sat for the last 10 years. And I love meeting new furry friends! I’m currently in school and playing volleyball part time so I am pretty free anytime for pet care during the day and night. I am also free over weekends I make sure they are comfortable and have everything they need while their owner is gone. I am very attentive to their needs and make sure they feel safe.
About: i've always had pets in my home! I'm very good with and have owned both dogs and cats. I've owned adult dogs as well as puppies! I love to take care of animals :) I am very flexible! I am moving in a couple months, so I don't have a time consuming schedule or responsibilities. I have more than enough time throughout the day to make time for your precious pet! I love to keep my attention on the animals. If i'm with them, I doubt i'll focus on anything else!! i'm very good at keeping them clean and observing behaviors.

Highly recommend Megan to care for your fur baby! She was wonderful from start to finish. She was happy to come to our home for a meet and greet before her stay with our pup, and she was so kind and sweet with him right away. Oliver loved her! During her stay, Megan was punctual, responsive, and sent us wonderful updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She also did a great job accommodating Oliver’s medication needs and making sure he was well cared for. We felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such good hands. We will absolutely be using Megan again in the future!
Sky was the best caregiver for our pups that we could have asked for! We have literally never left our dogs with anyone other than family & we usually travel with them, but we couldn't bring them a long for where we were going & I was seriously so nervous leaving them with someone. Sky made us immediately feel at ease. The home visit went so well. You could tell she was capable & had such bright vibes. She checked in with us & gave the up most care to our dogs. I had left in a hurry bc we were in charge of a youth camp, so my counters were messy & I felt embarrassed for leaving a mess, but when I got home I noticed she had wiped down the counters & did a few of the dishes that I hadn't washed. I didn't expect her to do anything extra, but I thought that was so kind & thoughtful of her. I definitely would trust Sky with my dogs anytime. Thank you Sky!!
Emily has been very attentive and dependable with our dog, and we appreciate the care she gives while we’re away. She also takes her on walks, which our dog loves. When we return home, our dog is calm and settled, which is always a good sign that she’s been well cared for. Emily also lives very close to us, which makes scheduling especially convenient. We appreciate having someone nearby we can trust to look after our dog.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Highland on Rover is $27.75 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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.
