“Lori was great! She helped with our St. Bernard. No job is too big for her. I appreciate the frequent updates and pictures and plan to book her again. Thank you so much!”
“I'm delighted to share that Katherine provided outstanding care for our whippet, Finn. Her commitment was evident as she went above and beyond, even staying overtime to ensure Finn's well-being until we returned. We greatly appreciate her dedication and highly recommend her as a reliable and caring dog sitter.”
“Fairuz was very sweet and caring with our Australian Shepherd. There were some small communication issues about when she would be there but it all got worked out and the weekend went well. Our pup was perfectly fine when we got back. Thank you, Fairuz!”
“Zixuan took such good care of Freddie and Marcel while she was sitting at our place! She’s been walking Freddie for a while, and we were really glad we had someone our pets trusted to care for them while we were out of town. We got pictures and updates every day, and they got lots of attention and playing in :)”
“Thankful to Karah for being available on such a last minute request. She was very personable and responsive that I felt comfortable leaving Timon to her care. She sends updates which I really appreciated. Definitely recommend her!”
“Angela is an excellent dog sitter. She was great with our senior poodle and was eager to learn all her unique behaviors. Angela is also quite responsive and flexible. We would certainly recommend her to any other dog owners.”
“Anna was great! She dog sat for Jackie at my house over the holiday and I came back from my trip with Jackie in great spirits and the house in tidy order. Thanks Anna! I hope you’ll be available in the future.”
“Cara was AMAZING!!! She truly treated Moose like her own. We’re very paranoid about leaving him and felt like he was so safe and happy with her. She was so great with communication and sending tons of pics and vids. We will definitely be using her again and 10/10 would recommend her and trust her to watch your pup! Thank you Cara!”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a child. I have experience with senior dogs and puppies. I also have fostered dogs in the past. I am a full-time, online student studying architecture. I am able to do multiple walks a day, give attention, play and take lots of naps! I strive to give the most love and attention to all creatures. I have a patio for dogs to sunbathe in. A lot of grass area in our yard and also in sidewalks for potty breaks and long walks.
“William went above and beyond taking care of Hazel while we were out of the country for a week. He kept us posted with regular updates and followed our instructions to a T. Hazel is a relatively high-maintenance dog and William followed our instructions carefully during his time with her. He took her on neighborhood hikes to keep her active and sent us daily pics to keep us at ease that she was being well taken care of. Responsible and reliable, I highly recommend William for dog sitting / house sitting.”
About: Hi, I’m Jane! I grew up caring for all kinds of animals including a Golden Retriever, Shitzu, and a Fat-Tailed Gecko. Although I adore all animals, cats have always had a special place in my heart. I now have two beautiful kitties by the names of Chichi and Ivy. I'm strong, athletic and fully capable of caring for any type of pet no matter how big or small. I understand that every pet is different and has their own personality and set of boundaries. I am fully committed to meeting their specific needs. Pets are family and require only the best care and attention. During house visits, I take great pride in walking, feeding, playing and providing endless affection. Please don't hesitate to reach out - I want to meet you!
About: I’ve been caring for cats and dogs for as long as I can remember! I grew up in a household that always had at least two dogs and two cats, and I loved being involved in their care from a young age. Today, I have a beautiful six-year-old calico of my own named Goose, who is my pride and joy. I will also add that I do have some experience with exotic animals and took care of an axolotl for years. My friends and family turn to me when they need someone to look after their pets. I genuinely love getting to know each animal’s personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their people are away. I’m attentive, adaptable, and mindful of each pet’s individual needs and routines, and I’m always happy to go the extra mile to make sure both pets and their owners feel at ease. If you book with me, you can expect lots of love, patience, and thoughtful care. I look forward to becoming your pet’s new buddy! Please feel free to reach out with any questions. :) I’m currently working part-time, so I have a pretty flexible schedule! My weekends are typically wide open, and on weekdays I’m most often available after 3 PM. My availability can vary a bit from week to week, so please feel free to reach out with any scheduling questions or requests. I’m always happy to communicate, work around your needs when possible, and find a schedule that works for everyone! I offer drop-in visits and house sitting in my clients’ homes, including overnight stays, rather than boarding pets in my own home. I’m very respectful of other people’s spaces and will follow all household rules and instructions, taking care to leave everything just as I found it. I’m adaptable and happy to learn whatever routines your pets are accustomed to, whether that means specific feeding schedules, medication, regular potty breaks, playtime, or simply keeping them company. My priority is making sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their familiar environment, with as little disruption to their routine as possible. I also know how reassuring it can be to hear from someone looking after your pets, so I’m always happy to send photo and text updates throughout my time with them! I want you to be able to relax while you’re away, knowing your pets and your home are in good hands. I’m happy to communicate, answer questions, and accommodate your pets’ individual needs so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. :)
“All the girls loved Avery!! He stayed at our home as all our fur kids are of an age and don't go to kennels anymore. Our dog, Shadow, got to enjoy extra walks and became more energetic for an older gal. Avery was excellent though at ensuring that she didn’t over do it. As for the kitties in the group - Poppy is usually standoffish but she enjoyed cuddling and being with Avery while he worked from our home. My husband’s cat came up to Avery the first time he came over for a meet and greet which NEVER happens - he’s the cat whisperer we think. Avery had to give our dog meds each evening and the one cat also. He had it down pat. All our pets have some issues but he rolled with it and wasn’t fazed. All communications with Avery were handled extremely well and the initial meet and greet was fabulous- he even came over briefly a second time to do a walk with our dog to ensure she was comfortable. We highly recommend Avery and will certainly book him again!! He gets full paws 🐾 up from the gang.”
“On short notice, the incredible Naomi once again stepped into the role of Rusty's companion while we were away on business, taking to the scenic trails in LA. Their days were packed with hikes where Rusty explored new smells and sights, countless walks, and, of course, endless sessions of Rusty's favorite sport—ball chasing. They also had their chill moments, lounging and snuggling on the veranda like old pals, soaking in the serene vibes and probably discussing the finer points of squirrel-chasing strategies. And Naomi continued her streak of leaving the house in such pristine condition that I'm convinced she might actually have a magic wand. It's the only explanation for how she manages to leave no trace behind while creating memorable experiences for Rusty. Rusty's stay with Naomi was everything we hoped for and more. It's clear he's not just going on walks; he's making memories with a friend. Naomi, you've officially become Rusty's favorite human (don't tell the other humans). Thanks for taking such great care of him!”
“Christopher was an amazing caretaker for our dogs. He sent us pictures, diligently cared for them, and really enjoyed his time with them. The dogs were so well taken care of. We can’t recommend him enough.”
About: Hi I’m Alison! I’m a life long animal lover, growing up my family always had a dog and I’m a firm believer that life is just much better with dogs around. In addition to pet sitting, I’ve volunteered at animal shelters walking and fostering high need dogs. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, energy levels, and personality types, I love them all! My own dog was a rescue who I adopted when she was around 2 and raised her into old age. I have lots of first hand experience with positive re-enforcement training, leash reactivity, as well a deep understanding of the extra care and patience needed for senior dogs with specific medical needs. I’m comfortable administering medications and adhering to any specific routines. I will treat your dog as if they are my own, giving them tons of attention and making sure they are always loved, safe, and cared for. In addition to providing the best possible care for your dog I aim to make sure you feel at peace while you’re away. I know how much we miss our dogs when we’re apart from them and will always send photos, videos, and updates. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! I'm currently working part-time/remotely with a very flexible schedule that allows me to offer walks, playtime and potty breaks throughout the day and I will always prioritize the care of your pup. I have a fenced in yard and live in the Eagle Rock neighborhood of LA, it's a great area for walking around and is close to some wonderful hiking trails, if your dog is adventure oriented. Whatever their needs may be, I'm happy to adhere to any specific schedule for your dog. I can guarantee they will be deeply cared for and receive lots of love and attention during their stay!
About: As a fourth-year medical student aspiring to work in the Emergency Department, I have been trained in treating minor-to-major wounds and recognizing emergencies in patients such as heatstroke and poisonings. Though I find genuine fulfillment in caring for human beings, I have always loved caring for animals beginning with my two cats as a 10-year-old as well as visiting my cousins' German shepherd and golden retriever. I now care for two new female cats who are 2 and 4 years old. I have only experienced dog care in short stints, bathing and walking my friends' dogs if they went out of town. Though I would love to get more hands-on experience caring for dogs. Currently, I am in my fourth and final year of medical school which I have realized has actually provided a decent amount of free time compared to the prior 3 years. For this reason, I wanted to pick up caring for pets around the neighborhood on a part-time basis. I would likely be able to care for dogs and cats around 3-4 times per week with either frequent check-ins or overnight stays. I think preparation will be my best friend as I know pets have their own personalities, body language, and habits. Unfortunately, I do not think I'll be able to care for pets in my home as I am not sure how my cats act around dogs. However, if entering owners' homes I will strive to follow any rules and keep your pet happy!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Highland Park
Brooke and Ryan did an amazing job taking care of our senior dog, Rufus, and our house while we were away for five days. They followed Rufus' routine and sent us daily updates and pictures. We were able to enjoy our trip because Rufus was in good hands. Thank you Brooke and Ryan!
This was our first time having a sitter stay in our home, and Fairuz made it such a wonderful experience! She has such great energy, and our girls warmed up to her so quickly. Her communication was excellent throughout our trip, which really put us at ease. She took wonderful care of both our girls and our home. We can’t recommend Fairuz enough and will definitely book with her again!
Elisabeth was very caring and responsibe. She sent updates and pictures throughout her 10 days stay so that we were able to enjoy our vacation worry free. She took extremely good care of our cat and left our place super tidy. We are glad we found her and will definetely hire her again.
Lio took amazing care of our sweet rescue dog Winnie. This was our first time leaving Winnie with a sitter, and Lio knocked it out of the park! Winnie is very scared and timid at first, and Lio was so respectful of her boundaries. In a short time Winnie warmed up to Lio and they had a great connection! Thank you for making Winnie feel safe! Lio gave great updates and left our apartment in great condition. Will definitely book again!!
Kaylie was responsive and very accommodating! We accidentally booked the wrong dates and she was flexible with her schedule, adjusting accordingly. She was very kind and patient, and genuinely tried to make things work. Ultimately, our dog’s temperament and needs made this a challenging fit, as our dog does best with someone she already knows and trusts. But we really appreciated Kaylie’s effort and understanding throughout the process!
Reina was awesome and did such a great job watching our Frenchie and our house! She was super communicative the whole time and we always felt like our pup was in really good hands. She sent us lots of cute pictures and updates, which we loved getting while we were away. We would definitely recommend Reina and would be very happy to have her watch our dog again!
Cara is great! My dog liked her immediately and was obviously having a blast in every single picture she sent. Lots of updates and pictures and I felt super safe and comfortable leaving my guy with her. Super responsive and easy to book with and sent a ton of pictures. Highly recommend :)
We absolutely love Sarah and David! They’ve stayed in our home and watched our senior dog twice now and we feel so lucky to have found them. Our dog has a lot of quirks and a specific routine, including medications that have to be given on schedule. He is also weary of new people, but Sarah and David’s experience and patience with dogs have helped him adjust to them quickly. They’ve been very reliable, communicative, and take great care of our home too. Both times we’ve come back our home has been clean and in great shape.

FAQs for House Sitting - Highland Park
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Highland Park is $67 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $122 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 14,628 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Highland Park. 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 Park 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 Park 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 Park 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Highland Park. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
