“Allison was AMAZING with my parent’s highly anxious dog. She was willing to help on short notice, and was flexible with us as things changed during the stay! She sent daily photos and videos to us, and checked in with updates on how things were going. Harper loved her, and we’ll absolutely be using Allison again in the future!”
“Rachel was amazing!!! She sent pictures everyday of Ollie. She stayed at our home while we were on vacation and she was very respectful of our home. She was very understanding and flexible when our air conditioning stopped working correctly and our house got warm during her stay. We will book her again we need a dog sitter.”
“Anna did a great job with the house and my dogs! She went above and beyond and was always quick to respond to communication. Will definitely use her again for house/dog sitting!”
“Tiana was a great sitter in-house for my 2 senior dogs. She kept them happy at home and took wonderful care of the house. Her communication in text and daily pictures was excellent. I will definitely ask her to return on the next trip!”
“Sadie is so happy and relaxed. You took perfect care of her. She is as relaxed as I’ve ever seen her.🐶🐾♥️ The home was amazing you vacuumed everywhere and did the laundry and cleaned up. It’s definitely much cleaner than I left it. Also shoveled the snow from all driveways and walkways. I think you really went above and beyond expectation clearing off all the snow. ❄️ Thanks!”
“Michelle is so awesome. Communication was perfect, took our whole crazy pack on daily walks while we were gone and even took care of our lizards. I already have her booked for another long trip.”
About: I’ve raised and taken care of dogs since I was little. I’ve cared for all sizes & temperaments. I have a soft spot for any and all dogs! I am a school teacher with the summers off! I am available most nights after 3:30 and some weekends. Open more if more notice is given! I have a fully fenced yard. I have 2 loving boxers who love other dogs and are well mannered with smaller dogs. My husband and I take care of our dogs like they are part of the family.
“My dog Lilo absolutely loves Kendra. It is so comforting to know that your pet is well taken care of while you are away on vacation. Pet sitting or housesitting, I would book her again and again.”
“Sarah is so good with my shy girl. Diane loves Sarah and gets excited enough to do zoomies. Very glad to have found Sarah. It's nice to get updates and pictures and know Diane is in good hands. Thanks Sarah!”
“Kayla was great with our pups! She followed all care instructions, took them on walks, and played and snuggled with them as much as they needed. We came home to very happy pups!”
“The very best!! We’ve had great success with Rover sitters and Jacob is right up there at the top! Took excellent care of our dog and our house! Cleaned the kitchen, changed out the sheets, caring and humorous daily reports about Louie’s day. Pleasant and respectful. We found Jacob to be fully trustworthy. We highly recommend him!”
About: I’ve been taking care dogs since I was 16. I used to be volunteer at the dogs shelter. I truly love dogs and I do have a experience… I work from home, so I’m at home all day. I like to play with them but I also take them out for a walks or to the dogs park so they can play and let the energy out. I live in a safe, dog friendly apartment, we have a nice fenced yard for the doggies where they can play and we also have a pet spa wash.
“We had Sandi watch our pup while we went away for the weekend. It appears that our dog was well taken care of and he was happy. We would use Sandi again because she was polite, sent us loving pics of our dog Murphy, and we were able to trust her with our home too. She was a good choice for us!”
“Kessa was amazing! She came and helped out last minute for us and was such a great sitter. Communicated with us, left our house in great condition, and helped my animals with all their needs! We will totally use her again! Book her if you get the chance, she’s great!”
About: I have had a wide range of cats and dogs that I have taken care of during my entire life. I know how to relate to and take care of several different breeds of dogs, I have a high rate of tolerance and I can really understand what are the necessities of any dog. I love them with all my heart just as you do as the owner, as I am a dog owner as well. I know how important it is to have a place that you can trust your pet to be while you are traveling, at work, or just need to go somewhere for a moment and need someone to trust to take care of your furry friend. Please note that my schedule is always subject to change, please contact me to confirm availability for specific times. (I.E. walk/groom your dog, feed/groom your cat, etc... 8a.m., I am unavailable the rest of the day or I'm unavailable in the morning and available to help out 7pm and later - PLEASE MESSAGE ME FOR EXACT HOURLY APPOINTMENTS TO CONFIRM AVAILABILITY. THANK YOU! I currently work part-time so I will have lots of time to be able to take care of your puppies. I have different days available each week however each of those days I'm completely available to help out with whatever I possibly can during our scheduled times, unless otherwise noted. I have a very spacious home where your dog/cat can roam as they please and find the comfortable place that they wish to relax. I also can give them attention based upon their needs if they have dietary needs, etc... and just let them relax and take care of them, feed them and take them on walks. I am currently studying part-time, so I have plenty of time to look after your pups or kitties. Same-day bookings are currently available for house-sitting, drop-in visits, or dog walking. I can be trusted with keys/codes; I am very prudent about respecting others' property and only request that all relevant house rules are laid out before house-sitting. I will maintain reasonably consistent communication throughout the booking to keep the pup and/or kitty owners informed and rest assured their loved ones are in good hands.
“Megan housesat with our 1 year old pup, Maple, for a week. She shared daily photo updates and was respectful of our home. Most importantly, Maple was safe, happy and healthy when we returned. I would happily re-book with Megan and recommend her to others.”
“Naomi took great care of Kona and was kept us up to date. Kona was relaxed and happy when we got home. She also took great care of our house. We’d be happy to have her back.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Highland
Highly recommend Allison for pet and house sitting. She recently watched my three small dogs and did a fantastic job. She is incredibly trustworthy, highly communicative, and sent daily updates throughout her stay. When one of my dogs, Chrissy, had a minor upset stomach and threw up her breakfast, Allison notified me immediately. She spent the majority of her time outside of work hours staying with the dogs. She also took care of the property by taking out the trash and clearing the yard of waste. I am so pleased with her service that I have already booked her for another trip next month.
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.

The average cost of House Sitting in Highland is $33 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $51 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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.
