“Jessica took very good care of my boys while I was out of the state for several weeks. I’ve never been away from them for so long before so I was very nervous but after a few days of checking on them and getting pictures, I knew they were in good hands with Jessica.”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover based in Granite Shoals near Marble Falls, and I’m happy to travel within an hour of the Austin area to care for your pup. I’ve had dogs my entire life and truly believe they’re family—not just pets. I currently share my home with Josie, my sweet 10-year-old Pug, and Bella, my energetic 2-year-old rescue Pit mix. Having dogs at very different life stages has given me experience with everything from senior care and slower-paced walks to playful energy and enrichment. Over the years, I’ve regularly helped friends care for their dogs—whether that meant walks, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping them company while their humans were away. I pride myself on being reliable, attentive, and genuinely loving toward every dog I meet. I live a healthy, active lifestyle and enjoy trail walks and neighborhood strolls, always tailoring activity levels to each dog’s needs, age, and personality. Your pup’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities, and I’ll care for them as if they were my own. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your dog—feel free to reach out with any questions! My full time job is mostly remotely, which gives me the flexibility to plan my day around a pet’s needs. This allows me to provide regular walks, meals, playtime, and attention throughout the day. I prioritize safety, trust, and consistency. I follow each pet’s routine closely, ensure secure environments and safe walks, and treat both pets and homes with care and respect.
“Vanessa is an outstanding dog sitter. She took such good care of our sweet girl while we were on vacation for about 5 days. We got tons of video and picture updates, and she also helped out with a few things around the house. We trust her completely and would recommend her to anyone who needs a sitter or care for their pets.”
“Kayla was absolutely phenomenal!! Could not have asked for a better pet sitter. She was sooooo sweet with our boys and they absolutely LOVED her & her daughter (which is not typical). The house was absolutely spotless- way better than we left it. She cooked for the boys & kept me updated with photos and daily check ins. I will never not book Kayla when we are out of town. 🤍”
“I can't speak highly enough of Christine! She was attentive, communicative, and overall just such an amazing sitter for our pets. She went above and beyond to make our pets feel at home, safe, and loved. We will also reach out to Christine to watch our babies and you should too!”
“Amazing job. She was so good with pups and kept us updated while we were gone on vacation. Puppies had a good time and when we returned to our home it was spotless. Highly recommend.”
“Brandon was such a pleasure to work with, when I returned home everything was perfect! Pups were so happy and excited to see me. My house looked great! He communicated regularly, and Brandon definitely eased all my anxiety. I am nervous pet mom and Brandon ensured me that everything went fabulous! Thank you so much Brandon❤️”
“We could not have asked for a better person to stay at our home and care for our “kids”. Bella and Opie were both so comfortable with Robin from first visit. We received daily pictures and videos of them and could see they were very happy and being taken care of. Not only did Robin care for our pets as her own, she also cared for our home as her own. There were so issues with our AC unit and she handled it, including having a repair technician come in. Cannot recommend her enough and we will 100% be using her again in the future!!”
About: Hi there! I’m Courtney and I have three years of dog training under my belt, I've trained and cared for hundreds of dogs and animals of all varieties. From puppies, to senior dogs, to anxious dogs. From cats, to birds, even to snakes. I also house sit and take care of plants, mail, and all the extra house things at no extra cost. I take care of everything. I currently work in marketing at a 9-5 and I am remote on Wednesdays. I am a homebody and am usually always available, and trying to raise money to pay off student loans. I take them on long walks, make sure they have indoor play time, lots of cuddles, fed, watered, treats, and have background music on so they are not anxious. I am always talking to them so they can hear my voice and know that I am in a relaxed and friendly mood.
About: Hi! I'm Kiah, a mom, music teacher, and lifelong animal lover. I've been working with animals since high school, when I spent three years working in a veterinary office. I later worked at Midtown Board & Grooming from 2016-2018, caring for dogs in a professional setting. I've owned and cared for a wide variety of pets throughout my life, including dogs, cats, snakes, fish, and other small animals. I continue to pet sit for neighbors, friends, and local families, providing dependable care for their beloved pets while they're away. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust. I've helped raise puppies from birth and have experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while in my care. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, or extra companionship, I'll treat them like one of my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I currently work a flexible schedule as a piano teacher so I have plenty of time to work for your pet! My teaching schedule is 3 days during the week from the hours of 6-8 and the rest of the time I am home taking care of my son, pets and the house. I care for every pet as if they were my own, while following the specific routines and instructions provided by their owner. I make sure pets have fresh food and water, regular bathroom breaks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention and affection. I also keep their environment clean, safe, and comfortable. For pets staying in my home, I provide a calm, welcoming environment and maintain their normal feeding, walking, and sleeping routines as closely as possible. For in-home visits, I follow the client’s instructions carefully and make sure their pet feels comfortable and cared for in their own space. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual personality, needs, and comfort level, and I keep owners updated so they can feel confident their pets are in good hands.
“Hailey was awesome! She responded almost instantly any time I was checking in with her, and she was super attentive to Cleo. Definitely will be booking again next time Cleo needs her new friend to come stay with her.”
“Gayle was great! Stayed with my senior dog for several days. Sent regular updates and left my apartment cleaner than it was when I left! She will be a great sitter for your baby!”
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover with extensive experience caring for cats and dogs of all sizes, energy levels, ages and personalities. I've had pets for most of my life and have been pet sitting since 2005, providing dependable, loving care for furry family members as if they were my own. I have experience administering medications and I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions, routines, and special needs requirements. Whether your pet loves long walks active playtime belly rubs or simply relaxing on the couch, I'm happy to tell her my care to their unique personality and needs. As a remote worker, I have the flexibility to provide plenty of attention, companionship, potty breaks, exercise, and supervision throughout the day. One of the things I enjoy most about pet sitting is having a wonderful animal companion by my side while I work. I truly appreciate the comfort, joy, and unconditional love that pets bring to our lives. I'm very active and enjoy daily walks, outdoor time, and engaging play sessions, but I'm equally happy to spend quiet time reading, relaxing, and snuggling with pets who prefer a calmer pace. I'm single, well traveled, reliable, kind, and an excellent communicator who understands how important regular updates and photos are for pet parents. I currently don't have any pets of my own, which allows me to give your pet my full attention during our time together. I also maintain five star reviews on The trusted house sitters platform, reflecting my commitment to responsible, attentive, and compassionate pet care. My goal is always to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you're away I look forward to meeting you and your beloved companion! As a remote worker in graduate student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive, consistent care throughout the day. I spend most of my time at home, making it easy to accommodate feeding schedules, walks, play time, medication needs, and plenty of companionship. My study and work routine also means that your pet won't be left alone for long periods and can enjoy regular interaction, supervision, and affection. Whether your pet is energetic and active or prefers a calm quiet environment, I can adapt my schedule to help them feel comfortable, secure, and well carried for. Your pets comfort and safety are my top priorities. I live alone in a quiet condominium community, creating a calm, low stress environment for pets who enjoy peace and routine. I currently do not have any pets of my own, which allows me to focus my full attention on your fur family member and their individual needs. My home includes a securely fenced yard for safe outdoor time, and there's also a dog park conveniently located within the community for dogs who enjoy socialization and exercise. Whether you're pet loves activity or prefers a quieter pace, I strive to provide a safe, loving, and attentive environment where they can feel at home while you're away. I am a responsible caregiver, excellent communicator, and will keep you updated with regular photos and messages for added peace of mind.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 342 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Highland Haven. 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 Haven 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 Haven 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 Haven 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.
