“Leaving our pets behind is never easy, but Diego made the entire experience stress-free. He treated our pet like family and gave them so much love and attention. He even brought them to the park and had a play date with some other friendly dogs! Coming home to relaxed pet and a clean house meant everything to us.”
About: Hi, I'm Marquette! I work from home and welcome one household at a time, with up to two pets from the same family. I don't have pets of my own, so your dog can settle in without sharing their stay with unfamiliar animals. I grew up with dogs, previously had one of my own, and started boarding clients in early 2026. I like learning the little things: where your dog likes to sleep, how they ask to go out, and what helps them feel at home. If they're shy, I'll give them time to warm up. I'll follow their usual routine, including meals and any medication given as instructed. My clients often mention the detailed photos and updates I send. Before your booking, we'll agree on how often you'd like to hear from me and your preferred way to stay in touch. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so meals, potty breaks, walks, and company fit into my day. I also provide walks and drop-in visits, so we'll discuss your pet's routine and any time I'll be away before booking. For boarding, I can usually offer potty breaks every 2-4 hours. For house sitting, we'll agree on overnight care, daytime visits, and how long your pets are comfortable being alone so you know what to expect. I live in an apartment close to Dallas Love Field, with a park right across the street for walks and sniff breaks. There's one enclosed, fenced patio area with no exterior exit. Patio time is supervised, and walks are suited to your dog's needs. Dogs are welcome on the furniture and bed. I host one household at a time and have no resident pets or children. I'll follow your feeding, medication, and care instructions, and we'll talk through any escape habits, separation anxiety, or handling concerns before the stay. I carry pet-care insurance through Pet Sitters Associates for boarding, house sitting, walks, and drop-ins.
“Nashi was phenomenal! One of our pups wasn’t feeling well right before we left, and it’s always difficult to leave when something like that is going on. Nashi stepped right in and took excellent care, provided updates, and calmed my worried mind. We absolutely recommend Nashi and will be requesting her care again in the future for our pups, too.”
“Mario stayed in my home with my two cats for four nights. One of my cats is very friendly and easygoing and the other one is shy and challenging. Mario understood and was patient with my shy cat and was able to keep both of them happy. He sent me an update and photos each night, which was much appreciated.”
“Hunter is great and my dogs love him. I would highly recommend hunter for anyone that is looking for house sitting. This is ideal for our dogs because they are used to someone being home with them most of the time and at night so I can go on vacation and not worry that my fur babies are stressed rather I know they are in good hands and having a fun time with Hunter!”
“Briana is everything you want in a dog sitter. She’s on time, reliable, a great communicator, and most importantly took excellent care of our pups. We received updates and pictures which puts your mind at ease when you are away. I’d highly recommend Briana for anyone needing pet care”
“Madeline is so sweet! As soon as we met her, we instantly knew we had found the right sitter for our 4-month old puppy, Oreo. My fiancé and I needed a date night and Madeline gave us peace of mind knowing that Oreo would be loved and cared for. We had a fantastic evening out, and Oreo loves his new Aunt Madi! I almost don't want to write this review, for we want Madeline all to ourselves...but we will share! =)”
About: Hi, I’m Jackie! ✨ I love staying active and spending time outdoors, so caring for dogs has always been something I genuinely enjoy. I’ve provided dog sitting, house sitting, and drop-in care for medium and small breeds, and previously owned a high-energy Korean Jindo named Flash. Caring for Flash gave me hands-on experience with daily walks, structured routines, exercise, feeding schedules, enrichment, and providing consistent, attentive care. I’ve also cared for smaller breeds, including schnauzers, so I’m comfortable adapting to different personalities, energy levels, and routines. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, or simply wants companionship while you’re away, I’ll tailor my care to meet their individual needs. I understand how important it is to have someone dependable caring for both your pet and your home. I take pride in clear communication, following your pet’s routine, and sending frequent photo and video updates so you always know they’re happy, comfortable, and safe. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away with complete peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is being treated with the same patience, respect, and genuine care I’d give my own. ✨ Use my referral link to receive $20 off your first Rover booking! https://www.rover.com/sit/jackiu18636 Pet care fits naturally into my flexible hybrid schedule. I’m available afternoon after 3:30pm and enjoy staying active with consistent walks and visits I prioritize safety and consistency, follow your pet’s routine carefully, provide structure walks, refresh water, and send photo updates for peace of mind. My goal is to increase safety and trust overtime
“Rory was great! She sent tons of pictures and videos and took great care of our pup. She was very communicative and responsive, and left the house cleaner than we left it!”
About: I am a former dog & cat owner, and have been taking care of my friend's animals for several years. I'm available to dog or cat sit in your home, take them for walks or provide drop-in visits. I'm a huge animal lover and the best Fur Aunty ever! Your fur baby will be spoiled by me (within reason). I am currently freelancing and make my own hours so I can easily fit walks/feedings/care into my daily routine. I will make sure they are well taken care of! I pay attention to any food allergies, sun sensitivity or directions I am given. Your fur baby's safety and happiness are of utmost importance to me.
“Kyle did a great job taking care of our pup! He sent us plenty of updates and kept the house clean. He was very attentive, responsive, and responsible! Will definitely use him again!”
“Brittany & Tadas were absolutely wonderful. We booked them on short notice and they made sure to take the time to understand all of the dogs needs and routines. They were extremely communicative and sent daily updates! Can’t wait to book with them again.”
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is the experience and genuine love I bring to caring for every pet. I’ve been pet sitting for about 10 years and have cared for dogs of all sizes, personalities, and temperaments, including pets with complex diets and medication needs. I’ve also had the opportunity to care for many cats and have grown to absolutely love them, despite growing up in an all-dog household! Most importantly, I truly love animals and want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing that while you’re away, your furry family member is receiving the same care, attention, and affection I would want for my own. I work full time in the week, but I do not work on the weekends. I am excellent at time management and would make plenty of time to care for your pets and meet their needs. While caring for your pet in your home, I’ll make their routine and comfort my top priority. I’ll follow your instructions closely, including their feeding schedule, walks, medications, playtime, and any special needs they may have. I’ll give them plenty of attention, affection, and companionship while also respecting their individual personality and boundaries. I’ll keep their space clean and tidy, provide regular updates and photos so you know how they’re doing, and treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away
“Nicole house sat and took care of my senior chihuahua while I was at a wedding. I could not recommend her enough! She was very professional, gave my dog her meds on time, took cute dog pictures throughout the day, and even took her for a walk in the pet stroller which she loves lol. I’m so grateful to have found a reliable person for when I’m out of town. Thanks again Nicole!”
“Elyssa was so good with my two dogs. She sent a ton of pictures and text updates. She quickly got my stand offish dog to trust her and spent a lot of time doing the dogs favorite things! Would recommend her for any dog/house sitting!”
“Michelle was a rock star! She house sat my senior cat for a week and I couldn't have been more pleased with her professionalism and care/love of animals. She really put me at ease while I was half way across the country. My cat immediately took a liking to Michelle and trusted her from the beginning with food, play, and just existing. She went above and beyond! Will definitely book again.”
“Sanjana was great with my dog! She gave me lots of updates and pictures and honestly took good care of my house. She put her towels in the washing machine so they were ready to be washed, did all her dishes, and just overall cleaned up after herself. She was super sweet and I will definitely recommend her to others and use her again!”
“Virginia was amazing! Great communication and our dog loves her. She stayed overnight while we were away for our wedding and she left the place spotless. 10/10 would recommend.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Highland Park is $50

Meng is the best cat sitter! She took such good care of Turkey when I went out of town. She consistently updated me with Turkey pics and when I got back home Turkey was the happiest kitty in the whole world. I will definitely be using Meng again in the future!
I’m so grateful to have found Dariia! She took wonderful care of my five babies and kept me updated with the sweetest photos. Everyone got plenty of walks, cuddles, and attention, and I never once felt worried while I was away! She offered to come meet everyone before the booking, took her own notes and paid attention to little details! She even washed the sheets and folded laundry before leaving. You can tell she puts love and care into both your pets and home! Such a thoughtful, beautiful person—I would absolutely have her back! 🩵
Jeannine was absolutely fantastic! We have two dogs with very different personalities and needs, so finding someone we can genuinely trust is important to us. Jeannine was reliable, attentive, and incredibly easy to communicate with throughout the entire experience. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after, and having that peace of mind while we were away meant a lot. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely trust her with our pups again. Highly recommend!
Shawndreal did a great job of keeping in touch with me and sending plenty of updates to let me know my dog EB was having a good time while my husband and I were away visiting our daughter. She was a great guest too - our house was orderly and just the way we left it. She even put some towels that I left in the washer in my haste to get to the airport in the dryer for me and folded everything nicely. Best of all, she asked good questions about our dog’s habits so I knew she was taking great care of our sweet dog. I will absolutely ask her to stay with EB again if she’s available the next time we travel!
I had a great experience with Rebecca! She stayed overnight with my two dogs for 3 days while I was away at a conference. My pups can be a little rowdy at first, but they quickly warmed up to her and felt comfortable in her care. She did a wonderful job making sure they were well fed, walked, entertained, and given plenty of playtime and cuddles. I especially appreciated the regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. It was reassuring to know they were happy and well taken care of. I would definitely recommend her and would happily book with her again!
Madeline was excellent from start to finish! She did a meet & greet before booking, she picked up & dropped off Rocky, sent multiple pics throughout the day, and even fed him, gave him fresh water, and set out two packs of Farmers Dog to thaw once we got home from our trip. Will definitely book with her again!
Elise watched our two dogs overnight and potty breaks in the day while we were out of town. She did an amazing job at providing updates, communicating how our temperamental dog was eating and took care to follow the notes about our dog who had hip surgery. Home was also left very tidy.
Dylan was fantastic! We felt completely comfortable knowing our dogs were in his care. He was reliable, communicative, attentive, and clearly made an effort to keep them happy and comfortable while we were away. We really appreciated the updates and the peace of mind he gave us. We’d absolutely book with Dylan again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.
Aliya (Oleksandra) did an amazing job caring for our dog Maya and two cats over a long weekend, and on short notice, too, after our previous sitter canceled. We found her to be warm and engaging in the meet and greet - her love for animals really shows. She was proactive about sending photos and updates while we were away, and was very responsive over text. When we returned, our fur family seemed happy and well-cared for, and the house was exactly as we'd left it. Aliya is a responsible and caring pet care professional and we would be happy to have her watch our babies for us in the future.
Jeanne restored our faith in dog sitters and was the best one we’ve ever had. She took such good care of our dogs and home. She was a strong communicator, sent lots of pictures and updates, walked the dogs daily and we could tell they absolutely LOVED her!! My dogs love routine and she kept a consistent one which I known helped them feel comfortable and used to what we do. I’d rather leave a bad review so she doesn’t get too busy that she’s not available when we need her!! But all jokes aside, BOOK HER. WE ARE SO APPRECIATIVE and she will be our go-to from here on!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Highland Park is $53 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $93 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 4,975 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.
