“Nicole did an amazing job with my senior dog! I don’t often leave him with people other than close family, but Nicole made me feel so comfortable the whole time. She has great communication, clearly cares so much, and is such a kind, genuine person.”
“I would highly recommend Kristina! She is knowledgeable about dogs & extremely accommodating as a sitter for our newly adopted rescue with separation anxiety. She was willing to stay with him for a few hours while we peacefully enjoyed a friends housewarming, providing us plenty of pictures & updates!”
“JJ has house sat my cat Millie numerous times this year and has truly always gone above and beyond! Every time, JJ has been super respectful of my home, has been very responsive, and sends plenty of helpful updates. I couldn’t recommend highly enough!”
“Randi is amazing - I just moved to the area from out of state, and was super anxious to find the right person for for my pup when I’m away. I knew Randi would be perfect after speaking to her via video chat, and confirmed again when we met for a meet and greet. She is very kind and intuitive, and my dog warmed up to her immediately. Randi made sure everything was followed flawlessly while I was away in terms of feeding, house things, potty breaks, etc, and went above and beyond with my dogs walks - she was sure to take him on loooong walks with new scenery, and was so attentive to all of his quirks. She sends many updates, and I was never concerned and/or worried about if my dog was left long or wasn’t getting attention - Randi is an excellent communicator so there is no room or need for worry. My pup was super happy when I came back and I knows he’s already missing his new friend. I cant wait to hire her again :)”
About: Hi! You just found your dog’s new favorite auntie◡̈ I’m currently a student and working from home and love dogs to my core. I have a 5 year old toy poodle named Mason. He’s so sweet & playful and he’s always looking for another puppy to play with. I have had experience with dogs my entire life, but in college I decided to get one of my own and I have no regrets yet! I will make sure your pet receives endless love and affection, long walks, loads of fun and trips to the dog park to mix and mingle. Safety & happiness of your pet is my priority so there’s no need to worry while they’re under my watch. I aim to create a stress free and fun environment for everyone. I understand how stressful it can be to find someone you trust with your baby, so I will be sure to keep you updated throughout our day. I enjoy taking photos of my dog so expect pictures updates as well. I am super flexible so for whatever you need, don’t hesitate to ask. I can’t wait to meet you and your pet! Available for daily walks, drop in visits and boarding. I work from home so I have the time and flexibility to care for your pet and give them the attention they need throughout the day. I am very respectful of your space and your dog and their’s. Making sure only do what I am advised to and anything outside of that I’d check with the owner prior.
“Elana did a great job taking care of my pups . 3 dogs 3 personalities and she did great with all of them . I’d highly recommend Elana to take care of your pets !”
“Dani was great at communicating with us about Piper. She was honest, and texted us updates and photos throughout the week. Piper seemed to really bond with her too. Dani was also a courteous houseguest. I would recommend Dani, and hope to book her again in the future!”
“Sam was very proactive in taking care of our pups and house while we were away. He was also tremendously patient with our one dog who takes a good bit of time to warm up to new people. He lect the house tidy and from the pictures it was clear the dogs enjoyed their time with him! We are recommending him to our friends! Thanks again 😊”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life and have grown up around a large variety. I’ve pet sat and dog walked for friends and neighbors over the years off and on. I work from home during the week and come a go a bit on weekends. I wouldn’t ever be gone more than 8 hours for any animal. Feel free to ask if you have any questions. I’m very attentive to pets in my home and make sure that they are in safe environments with everything they need. I am very respectful in other people’s homes and make sure the pets are well taken care of. If boarding at my home, I did just get two roommates who live upstairs and one of them has a cat who is friendly with dogs. There is a door to separate the upstairs as well.
“We had a great experience! Taylor took wonderful care of our pets and kept us updated throughout our trip with photos and messages, which we really appreciated. Our pets were happy and relaxed when we returned home, and the house was left in great condition. We felt very comfortable knowing everything was well taken care of while we were away. We will definitely call on Taylor for our future pet sitting needs!”
“KC was so awesome to work with and took great care of our dogs while we were out of town! Really appreciated all the proactive updates and flexibility when our return travel plans got messed up. Our dogs can’t wait to hang with her again!”
“Hannah was a great sitter! She took my request very last minute and I was truly grateful for her. She helped us out sent pics took good care of the doggies, was there when she was supposed to be! Would book again, very easy to communicate with.”
“Gracie always takes great care of our pup! She’s very prompt, follows all our instructions, and leaves our house cleaner than we left it! She’s great about checking in and sending updates and photos. Our dog really seemed to enjoy his time with her, and we appreciate the peace of mind knowing our dog and house were in good hands. I’d highly recommend!”
“Joanne was awesome with Bravo while we were out of town. Super sweet, easy to deal with, and Bravo absolutely loved her. He was happy and comfortable when we got home, and the house was spotless.”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and have years of experience watching and caring for family and friend’s pets. I have a lot of experience with high-energy breeds, as well as caring for dogs with anxiety or other behavioral issues so I’m happy to welcome all types of dogs! During the weekdays, I have a hybrid work schedule so I’m able to have a lot of flexibility with my availability. I also have weekend availability as well! If dogs usually free roam in your home, I trust them to do the same at my own. I also have a large crate if needed, and a huge supply of treats and toys. We also have big fully fenced in backyard for your pup to safely run around in!
“Sarah took such good care of Teddy & Sparky! She was attentive to them, as they sometimes have a bit of separation anxiety and really like human contact at home. All the instructions I left were followed to a T. And, I received several updates and photos each day. I so appreciated the care Sarah provided my pups. I will gladly book her for another house sit/dog care.”
“Saramae was a delight. Our pups immediately took a liking to her with the meet-and-greet. She was such a good sitter and we will absolutely be booking her again! Such a comfort knowing someone good is at home with our little guy!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Highland Park is $50

I can't say enough great things about Madahi. She took care of our 2 dogs in our home and it went great! The dogs fell in love with her because of all the attention and care she gave them. She reassured us that things were going well with texts and pictures. She's great at keeping in touch.I will definitely be using her again in the future. I am so happy to have found such a reliable and caring person for our babies. 🤎
Absolutely love Mary Kay! When we’re fortunate to be able to book her, it is always such a great experience and peace of mind. She is very responsive, and accommodating but especially really good at what she does as you can tell she genuinely cares and loves the animals she takes care of. You cannot get any better premium care for your fur babies in Southeast Michigan. She is truly a part of our family.
I can tell that my dog felt safe and happy with Nicole. When I got home, he was so content. I loved all the updates I got. My dog is an anxious guy so someone winning him over so fast is a huge deal. Nicole kept my house tidy as well. I’m so happy with the care he received, from administering his meds, encouraging him to eat, and taking him on long sniff walks.
If I could give Lauren 6 stars, I would! Lauren went above and beyond caring for our sweet (and sometimes reactive) pitbull. She was everything you could ask for in a house/dog sitter: communicative, caring, proactive, and thoughtful. We so appreciate the attention and love she gave our dog; always keeping us updated with lots of photos. Lauren cared for our home and dog like it was her own and we so appreciate her service! Would not hesitate to book with Lauren again and looking forward to our dog’s next staycation!
Casie was a perfect house-sitter and weekend pal for my dog! Very responsive, sent lots of pics, kept my mind at ease while away, and left my house in perfect condition. I especially appreciated that she knows and appreciates the pitbull breed to help ease any concerns I may have about my dog’s quirks. Would absolutely book again in the future!

All the instructions I left were followed to a T. And, I received several updates and photos each day. I so appreciated the care Sarah provided my pups. I will gladly book her for another house sit/dog care.
Allie was responsive and sent messages about Piper and Miffles every day of our trip. She accommodated my pup's temporary stomach issues and got her back on track with regular diet without additional guidance and sending plenty of updates. Our home was left just as clean as it was when we left. Would book again! Thanks, Allie!
When I say Heather is phenomenal— I mean it. I can go anywhere in the world knowing my boy is cared for and that he gets to do all the things he loves. If you’re looking for someone to love your kiddo like he’s their own, Heather’s got you. Every time she’s watched my baby she has not missed a single beet. I also get the cutest photos ever from her 🫶 and she leaves my house better than she found it every single time. Beyond grateful for you, Heather!!
Kate was THE BEST as a housesitter/animal caregiver. My job was complex: I have multiple inside cats and regularly feed feral cats on my front porch. In addition, I have a rescue dog who can have emotional issues as well as recovering from a recent injury. Kate handled everything as I would have. Her frequent updates and photos showed me my babies-relaxed, obviously content/loved. I came home to a spotless house and my animals happy to see me, but not frantic for attention. I’m so grateful to have found Kate & will use her services whenever I travel again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Highland Park is $72 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $144 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 October 2026, there are 2,195 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.
<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 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 , 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.
