Dominic was responsible and very tidy. She sent a when she was here with the dogs each and left the house neat as a pin when she left. She took great notes on the dogs needs and we felt comfortable with her taking care of the fur babies while we were gone.

Aaron was absolutely amazing caring for our 3 doggies for 9 days. We were super nervous to leave them, but Aaron made us feel stress free. He was super communicative with morning, afternoon, and nighttime check-ins with pictures and how they spent their days. He went above and beyond, even cleaning, washing the linens, and leaving a delicious blueberry breakfast treat. He was exceptional. Our dogs loved him and he will definitely be our go-to person from now on.

Alexis was wonderful with our two labs, Huck & Finn. She watched them from 9:00 am -9:00 pm and sent me updates with a video and photos throughout the day. We felt at ease with her caring for our boys. She played with them and kept on schedule with their feeding. We will definitely have Alexis care for our guys again soon. I would recommend her for anyone if you’re looking for reliable care.

We had a wonderful experience with Chloe! She took great care of our dog and two cats while we were away and gave us total peace of mind. She sent frequent pictures and check-ins, which we really appreciated, and it was clear our pets were happy and well cared for. We would absolutely recommend her and would love to have her sit for us again!

About: *New Rover customers can use promo code JENP40985 for $20 dollars off their first booking with me! Hi, my name is Jen and I’m a local Realtor who truly loves animals. I’m excited to meet you and your fur babies. I believe in giving pets the same unconditional love and attention they give us, and caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I currently have one little baby of my own, Sophie Grace, an 9 year old Yorkie Poo who weighs about 15 pounds. I also help care for a couple of homeless cats in my neighborhood. Over the years, I have volunteered with a small local organization called Paws 4 Adoption and have fostered many animals while helping them find their forever homes. I have had pets my entire life and have always cared for the animals of neighbors, friends, and family members. I joined Rover after learning firsthand how stressful traditional boarding facilities can be. During a routine vet visit over the Christmas holidays a few years ago, I witnessed an overcrowded boarding situation that left a lasting impression on me. Dogs were crated floor to ceiling, with the smallest dogs placed at the top. It was shocking and concerning, and it made me realize I would never be comfortable placing my own pets in a facility like that. Another concern I discovered when researching boarding facilities was the lack of overnight supervision. Many facilities have no staff onsite from evening until morning, which means pets can be left alone for extended periods of time. While cameras may be available, they cannot provide comfort, respond to emergencies, or ensure safety during storms, fires, or other unexpected situations. For me, true peace of mind comes from knowing my pets are actively cared for at all times. Using a pet sitter may cost a little more than boarding, but I believe it is worth it. Pets are able to stay in a familiar environment, follow their normal routines, and receive individual attention. If a pet becomes anxious during a storm, needs a potty break during the night, or simply misses their family, I am there to comfort and care for them. I have spent many nights sleeping beside a dog bed or bringing a nervous pet into my own bed, and I treat every animal in my care with the same love and patience I give my own. I also have young adults at home who share my passion for animals and are always happy to help provide extra attention and affection when needed. To ensure we are a good fit, I prefer to meet in person prior to a booking whenever possible. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, providing daycare, dog walking, in home care or drop in visits. I also happily care for cats, and there is a dedicated section for feline services on Rover. Please note that holiday rates, additional pets, and puppy pricing are not always calculated accurately by the Rover app and may need to be adjusted and approved manually before a booking is finalized. Pricing is flexible, as every pet has different needs and temperaments, and I am always open to discussing details specific to your pet. My priority is simple. Your dog or cat will be safe, loved, and cared for as if they were my own. That is a promise I take seriously. To me they aren’t just animals, they are family members! I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby soon. Warmly, Jen I’m a licensed and active Realtor and work from home so, my schedule is flexible. When I do go out I’m usually not out more than a few hours. I try hard to keep your pet on the same schedule it’s used too. This is with feedings, medications, walks etc. I have a large fenced in backyard. I will never let your dog out in the yard without supervision. I have small babies and I take the risk of predators on the ground and in the air very seriously. I also understand that some dogs like to dig and can easily and quickly dig under the fence. I only care for one or two dogs at a time and I prefer not to mix other family pets unless I know their temperament will work. If I do host another families pet I keep them apart until I know they will work out well together. I have one small dog and won’t introduce my little one with yours unless they’ll be spending enough time together and they get along. I want to ensure your pet/s and mine are as stress free and happy as possible.

About: I’m always a go to, I’m flexible and do what’s needed for the family and the dog. I’m genuine and will help whenever you need. I have a dog myself so I take care of him everyday. He eats and goes out on time, and then he just relaxes ! I will make sure everything is put back in the right place, clean up after myself and the dogs. I treat it like it’s mine.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and genuinely enjoy caring for them. After losing my 2½-year-old Goldendoodle a few years ago, I found myself jumping at opportunities to help friends by watching their dogs when they traveled. It’s something I’ve really enjoyed and a nice way to have dogs back in my life. I’m active, responsible, and comfortable with dogs of different sizes and personalities. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company, I’ll treat your dog like they’re part of the family. I work full-time during the day, but I have a tremendous amount of flexibility outside of work. My availability really just depends on my schedule and whether it lines up with what your pet needs. If the timing works, I’m always happy to spend some quality time with your amazing four-legged family member. I treat every pet like I’d want someone to treat my own. I’ll follow your instructions, keep their routine as consistent as possible, and make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention. I’m also a big believer in communication, so you can expect updates and photos while your pet is in my care.

About: Update: I will not be available May 18-25, and Jun 2-14 I love dogs!! I've fostered many dogs and volunteered at many shelters. I've had seniors and even fostered one with spina bifida. My first two loves were English Bulldogs. I have lots of experience with them and know that smooshy face breeds are much more delicate than other breeds. I absolutly love them! I'm not good with extremely energtic dogs, but can handle anything else. I am semi-retired. I currently work part time on Friday and Sundays with an occasional third day, so I am home a lot. I have plenty of time to devote to your pooch. In my home, I care for your pet just as I care for mine. Of course, with your direction implemented also. I do have a pool, so I will need to know how your dog is around pools, or if they have zero experience with pools, I will need to know that as well.

Paola was amazing! We were so grateful for her kindness and flexibility. We loved all the communication and the “report cards” telling us how they did while we were away. Lots of pics of Ben & Izzy too! We were super impressed! We’re definitely going to have her doggie sit again! 💕Nancy & Josh Scott

FAQs for House Sitting - Highland Farms

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Highland Farms on Rover is $27.75 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 603 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Highland Farms. 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 Farms 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 Farms 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 Farms 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 Farms. On Rover:

  • 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.
