“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.”
“Excellent dogsitter! Our dog was happy, well -loved and well attended to. The house was spotless. We will definitely have Clover sit again and would recommend her highly.”
“Morgan was wonderful to work with. She took great care of our dogs and house and communicated daily with updates and photos of our pups. We already have plans to use Morgan again in the near future.”
“As always Hunter was amazing. My dogs love him and look forward to seeing him when we go on vacation which makes our time away stress free because we know they are well taken care of and having fun while we are gone.”
“Mario was absolutely fantastic! Constant updates with photos and videos and he genuinely went above and beyond on a last minute booking. He's a wonderful guy with a heart for animals - highly recommended!”
“Yuliana was amazing! Both the cat and dog loved her, and she sent us plenty of pictures keeping us updated on how they were doing. She took care of our home with zero issues. Will be using her again and recommending to everyone”
About: I have been a dog and cat owner my whole life. Now that I am mostly retired I am available to care for your babes when you are unable to. Your place or mine. I volunteer for dog and cat rescues so I have a lot of knowledge and experience. I am retired so I have lots of time to play. I walk in my neighborhood every morning and evening and would love to walk with a friend. I don't currently have any pets of my own so there will be no issues with unfriendly competition. I know how important communication is regarding your pets.
“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.”
“Kassandra stayed with my two high energy pups and did a great job. I got regular updates that showed me they were having a great time, going on long walks, and were comfortable with her. I will continue to use Kassandra in the future!”
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats of every kind since I was 12 years old. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to check in with, feed, exercise / walk, and play with their pets with trust and appreciation. Rover clients / pet-care and house sitting have my full attention, and 100% commitment! I am available for whatever routine requirements are currently needed, as scheduling dictates. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and preferences. I’m happy to follow your instructions and keep their normal routine as consistent as possible. I’ll also treat your home with the same respect I would my own — keeping things tidy, being mindful, and making sure your home feels cared for while you’re gone.
“Meng was awesome! She stayed with our Italian greyhound for 3 nights. She was consistent with check ins and providing photos of how our baby was doing. She’s great and we will gladly hire her again!”
About: I’ve had the joy of caring for animals for many years, including pet sitting for both dogs and cats. I had a dog of my own for 14 years, which gave me extensive hands-on experience caring for a pet throughout every stage of life, including the additional patience and attention that senior pets require. I also have experience administering medications and providing more involved senior-pet care. I administered subcutaneous fluids to my own dog every day for two years, so I understand how important it is to carefully follow an established care routine and pay close attention to a pet’s individual needs. While I’ve never had a cat of my own, I’ve cared for several cats belonging to friends and family and have always loved their unique personalities. Whether I’m caring for a puppy, a high-energy dog, a senior pet, or a cat who needs some time to warm up, I take the time to understand each animal and provide consistent, attentive care. My schedule is flexible for the rest of the month. Starting Aug 31st, my availability will be limited to Tuesdays from 12:30 PM to 6:00 PM, and all day Friday-Sunday. I’m also available for overnight house sitting. My schedule allows me to be present and engaged with the pets in my care rather than simply stopping by when I have a free moment. I’m happy to work with each pet’s established routine, whether that means walks, playtime, meals, medication, or simply providing companionship and a calm presence. I understand that consistency is especially important for pets, so I make it a priority to follow their normal routines as closely as possible. My approach is centered on consistency as I know how important routines are for our pets. I prioritize following each pet’s routine carefully, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. For drop-in visits, I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, bathroom breaks, medication, play, and companionship while giving your pet plenty of individual attention. For house sitting, I’m comfortable staying overnight in your home and maintaining your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. For doggy daycare, dogs stay with me at my apartment, which is located in a complex with plenty of outdoor space for walks and bathroom breaks. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, high-energy dogs, senior dogs, and dogs who prefer not to interact with other dogs. I’ll always take your dog’s temperament and individual needs into account. I’m also experienced with administering medications and have experience with more involved care from caring for my own senior dog. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s specific needs and care instructions ahead of time so that we’re all on the same page. Above all, I understand that leaving your pet with someone else requires trust. I’ll treat your pet, your home, and your instructions with the same care and respect I would expect for my own.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Highland Park
It was so nice knowing my baby girl could stay happy and comfortable at home in her own familiar surroundings while I was away! Samantha kept me updated throughout my trip and also took care of my lawn and plants, which was a huge help. I really appreciated having her here and came home to a happy pup. Thanks so much for taking care of everything while I was gone!
First time Hailey house sits for us, she has been awesome. Fantastic communication, she sends tons of pictures and my dog seems so happy and at ease with her. He is a senior dog with a lot of quirks and she seems to get him perfectly. Absolutely recommend her!
Tyler and Jordan are officially the most favorite humans of Nori and Dillon! They responded immediately to our request for in-home house sitting for 2 weeks for our two german shepherds. They provided daily videos and pictures of our fur babies, kept to their kinda complicated feeding and walking instructions, and provided a loving and wonderful sitting experience for our pups. We had a fabulous vacation with the peace of mind Tyler and Jordan gave us. And our house was SPOTLESS when we got back! We love Tyler and Jordan! 1000/10!
We are once away blown away by Dylan and his care of our pup. Always communicative and letting us know how our dog was doing. Very responsive when we reached out just to check in, super flexible when we changed our booking start and end times, and left our house in better sorts than we did! We refuse to book with anyone else.
Jeannie did such a great job watching my dog on very short notice! She cared for him as if he were her own, took him on walks, and sent me picture updates throughout my time away. It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was in such great hands. I highly recommend Jeannie! 🤍

FAQs for House Sitting - Highland Park
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Highland Park on Rover is $53.28 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 5,187 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.

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.
