“When I got home and found my two dogs relaxed, I knew that Diego had done a good job with them. He is easy to work with and kept me up to date. Thanks so much, Diego...”
“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.”
“My second time to use Mario for house-sitting my Goldendoodle and once again Mario was outstanding. His communication is timely and his diary updates at the end of the day with pics are so helpful and great at putting your worried mind at ease. You can't go wrong with using Mario.”
“Hunter was incredible! Took such great care of our Poppy while we were away on a trip. This was our first time leaving Poppy, and Hunter took such fabulous care of her, following her puppy schedule, and provided us with updates and photos during our time away!”
“Briana was amazing! From the day we met prior to her babysitting Ivy, I instantly knew she was kind. I immediately felt comfortable and my worries left my body. She was super attentive, so sweet to my baby, and kept me updated every day. I truly appreciated how safe I felt leaving my baby. I would 100000000% recommend her to anyone. Ivy will definitely be seeing her again in the future :)”
“My first time having Madeline dog sit and I never once worried about my dog being in great hands! She even watched him when she was sick. Madeline was very communicative and gave me updates throughout the day. She took my boy on plenty of walks and made sure to send pictures. Since this was our first time, I had her stay at my apartment and she left it probably cleaner than I did. I’m sure Henry can’t wait for Madeline to dog sit again in the future - looks like he had a blast.”
“Samantha took care of my babies for 10 days. She was reliable, followed instructions & took really great care of them and my home while house sitting. Just booked her for a few weeks from now! ❤️ thank you again”
“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!”
“Brooke stayed at my apartment with my two senior dogs. Both dogs have significant mobility issues and take medications daily. Brooke did a great job with them and kept me informed so that I could focus on work and not worry about them. Really great human.”
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was little! Would dogsit family friends/neighbors dogs, ranging from big to small! I'm an active individual and would be more than happy to take energetic dogs in long walks, and if they're up for it, maybe a run! I am available on weekdays after 6 PM! I can also be available on weekends, but it just has to be communicated the week before! Your dog's safety is my priority. I maintain total situational awareness, use secure leash handling, and avoid triggers to ensure a controlled, stress-free evening walk.
About: I’ve had dogs since I was very young both big and small. My oldest dog passed at 16 years old so I have experience with senior pets. Calm and energetic, young and old, big and small I’ve done it all! I have a full time job but 3 days off a week (Sunday, Monday, Tuesday). I can come yours or they can come to mine. I do live in a pet friendly apartment which offers a dog park for your fur baby to run and play. I currently have no pets as my sole pup recently passed tragically so pets needing solo care (no other animals) is no issue. I have a large and smaller crate is that is something needed as well as food, treats, brushes, and shampoos for bathing.
“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!”
“I cannot recommend Kelsey enough, she was a great sitter for my 7 month old puppy. She was very attentive, provided tons of pictures and updates. She left the apartment spotless, which was amazing. If we need a sitter again, we will definitely be reaching out to her!”
“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!”
“Jill watched our two dogs for 4 nights and it was a great experience. This was our first time having someone stay at our house with them, and by the end of our trip they were following Jill around and happy. Her communication was great, with multiple pictures every day and quick responses to our questions. Plus, our dogs were great eaters for her, unlike when they have stayed at family members' homes.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Highland Park is $50

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!
Dariia did such a wonderful job taking care of our pup and our home! She took great care of Autumn, kept her in her routine with walks and outside time. She also took great care of our home while we were away and went above and beyond to make sure everything was in good condition. Highly recommend using Dariia for all your house/pet sitting needs. She is awesome!
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!
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.

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!

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!

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.

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.
