Kayla was great. She always answered quickly and sent picture updates of my pet while we were gone. I felt confident with her the whole time. I also appreciated that she took time out of her schedule to come meet us and learn about our pup and schedule. Thank you Kayla! We will def be booking again with her soon.

About: I’ve been surrounded by furry friends since I was young. I’m trusted by friends and family to take care of their pets while they travel or figure out life changes. I’m diligent about brushing, cleaning and snuggling-whatever your pup needs, I’m on it! I currently work full time from 9AM-5PM on a four day schedule. In the early morning’s and evenings I am available for walks, play time, training reinforcement, as well as clean up and any additional help needed while you’re away. During the weekends- I’m available all day Saturday-Mondays for walks and plenty of enrichment time! I have a highly energetic dog to keep your pet company! If your pet does not do well with other animals, I am happy to accommodate as needed. With plenty of parks and hikes in the area, I can assure you we’ll take plenty of walks. I will crate your pet if needed for their own safety.

About: I have experience caring for a variety of animals, including senior dogs; I have assisted in caring for our large-breed senior with cancer. I bring patience, reliability, and strong attention to detail to every visit, and I prioritize each pet’s comfort, routine, and well-being. I have a flexible daily schedule that allows me to provide attentive and reliable care for pets in my care. I plan my days around studying and part-time work, which gives me the ability to be present and consistent. Dogs in my care are always let out regularly throughout the day, and I make sure they get plenty of time for walks, exercise, play, and comfort so they feel happy and well cared for. For walks and drop-ins, I have good availability throughout the week and prioritize being punctual and consistent for every visit. I care for every pet as if they are my own, focusing on a consistent, calm, and comfortable routine. In my home, I have a relaxed senior dog, and pets are closely supervised with regular bathroom breaks, walks, and playtime. While I do not have a fenced-in yard, I provide safe outdoor time through leashed walks and visits to a nearby neighborhood dog park (with owner approval). I’m also comfortable caring for crate-trained dogs and following any specific routines. In a client’s home, I follow instructions closely for feeding, walks, bathroom breaks, and playtime, and I always provide updates and photos so owners feel at ease.

Kathy kept our 2 dogs for the day during our visit to LEGOLAND. She is a very nice person and her house is so warming. She is obviously an experienced dog keeper. Sent us pics during the day of the dogs which was very appreciated. We spent our day with no stress. Thank you !

Brooke was very attentive during our walk thru. She ensured all her questions were answered and sent update pics of our pack while we were away. She was very flexible with our needs and we are grateful for that. I felt very comfortable leaving our senior dogs in her care with her many years of Veterinary experience. Thanks Brooke!

About: Hey! I have grown up with dogs, cats, and livestock and have experience as a vet tech. I would love the opportunity to care for your babies! I work from home October through April so have plenty of time to drop in to care for your animals. I also enjoy walking so would love to have you baby tag along for that. Currently have three dogs that go on two walks a day and have outside play time. I would treat your fur baby like it was my own, and of course send you plenty of pictures/videos.

Bradley took great care of our two dogs and 9 cockatiels. He changed the water for the birds twice a day, even though I only required once a day. He sent photos and updates multiple times a day with out me asking. He brought in the packages that came in. Our AC unit pump broke and start leaking a ton of water and Bradley cleaned it up, kept an eye on it, and provided frequent updates, including photos. It's nice knowing he took care of it to prevent further damage and I'll know how to fix it on my return. I highly recommend Bradley for your dog and house-sitting needs.

About: I have cared for many pets my whole life! I’ve taken in feral litters of cats and helped raise them until they were able to be adopted, I have cats, and help with the care of 4 dogs of varying sizes. I have had cats and all types of dogs growing up! I love making sure furry family feels loved, and gets taken care of. I am just starting out, however Rover is my full time job. I use this platform so I can still care for my little brother on the weekends. Some people have help with Rover, but I am working solo so please be patient with me. I have a fenced in portion of the yard just for our dogs to run around as they please, they have set meal times and have constant access to love and snuggles! My cats also get all the love and playtime they want.

Here’s a smoother and more polished version that keeps your warmth and sincerity: I want to thank Brandee for taking such great care of Burton during his time with her! She was easy to communicate with, attentive to every detail I asked for, and made me feel completely comfortable leaving him in her care. Burton absolutely loved her, and he can be very selective about people. This was the longest time I’ve ever been away from him, and all of the pictures and check-ins gave me such a sense of peace while I was gone. I’m so grateful for the care and attention she gave him!

About: Hi! I’m Jay, a dependable, trustworthy animal lover who understands that pets are family. I take pride in being reliable, attentive, and treating every dog as if they were my own. I have a flexible schedule outside of my full-time career, allowing me to provide walks, drop-in visits, and quality one-on-one attention. Whether your dog needs a quick potty break, an energetic walk, or someone to keep them company while you’re away, you can count on me to be there on time and provide exceptional care. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities, from playful puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. I’ll follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, medications (if needed), exercise, and any special instructions you provide. When your pet is with me, you’ll receive regular updates, photos, and messages so you can relax knowing they’re safe, happy, and well cared for. My goal is simple: earn your trust by providing dependable service and giving your pet the love, attention, and care they deserve. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I have a German Shepard/lab dog so taking care of your fur baby will blend right in with our daily walk sessions when the weather allows us to do so. Your for baby will be an excellent hands with the help of our dog Jacob. We have a huge backyard which is more than enough room for the babies to play. Not to worry they are never left unattended

About: Working in veterinary medicine, I can understand basic animal needs and care. I have been taking care of animals for over 10 years. I will treat your babies like they are my own I work two jobs, both in opposite directions, so to be able to housesit. And given a good amount of time to request days off to give your baby my full attention I prefer housesitting over boarding at my personal home, it’s easier for me, and I feel like the pets would prefer their own home over anyone elses

Liz is great! She watched all three of our dogs, and stayed at our house for two weeks while my husband and I were in Europe. She kept us updated with daily photos and videos, was very communicative, and easy to get ahold of if needed. She also went above and beyond keeping our house clean (which can be difficult with two shedding breeds) and brought in any packages that were delivered. I cannot recommend her enough and will definitely be using her again for any other trips!

FAQs for House Sitting - Highland Park

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of August 2026, there are 1,007 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 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 Park. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% 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.
