“Diego is the very best, most trustworthy human ever! He’s kind and super attentive to all of your pet needs. He made sure to send thoughtful updates for us on how our dog was doing. I can’t wait to book him again!”
“She provided good care overall and I felt my dog was in safe hands. The midday and evening updates were consistent and appreciated. There were a couple of gaps with morning updates where I had to follow up, and one instance where I was told my dog had been walked when he hadn’t. I’d recommend just tightening up communication and being fully transparent, as that would make a big difference.”
“Tiffany made me feel like a family member was watching my dog. He’s extremely high energy and can be a lot for someone else but Tiffany not only did an amazing job taking care of Louie but allowed me to feel like he was actually enjoying his time instead of when I’ve boarded him the past!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Clover was an awesome cat whisperer, once again! When she came to get our key, Finn seemed to remember her-he came right out to greet her when he is often careful of guests. Our shy Raven demanded daily brushings! Clover sent us great pics every day of all 3 kittes and left our house neat and clean. We feel very blessed to have her watching our fur babies.”
“Yuliana is always so fabulous! She is easy to communicate with, takes great care and sends tons of photos. Really enjoy having her watch my dog rocco and try to use her whenever I travel.”
“Cynthia did such a great job watching my dog while I was away for a few hours! She was super flexible with how long she watched him, kept me updated with pictures, and had great communication throughout. It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was in good hands and being treated like her own. I highly recommend Cynthia and would definitely have her watch my dog again! :)”
“Morgan was fantastic with my girl Jovi over the holidays! She was very accommodating about a few unexpected requests I had to make last minute, sent pics throughout her stay that showed Jovi was super comfortable & content with her, and left my place exactly as she found it. Will definitely rebook!”
“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.”
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.
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is my hands-on experience with dogs and my love for understanding their unique personalities. I’ve trained my dog, Mars, from a wild little puppy into a confident, well-behaved dog who can handle off-leash adventures and listen to commands. It took patience, consistency, and a lot of love, but the bond we built along the way made it so worth it. I’ve also worked with dogs who needed extra attention, like my neighbor’s German Shepherd, Teddy. He was a ball of energy with no leash manners, but over six weeks, I worked with him daily on leash training and socialization. Seeing him transform into a calm, happy walking buddy for his owner was such a rewarding experience. I genuinely care about making dogs feel safe, happy, and loved. Whether it’s playing with puppies, keeping an eye on senior dogs, or just making sure each dog gets the attention they deserve, I bring patience, energy, and care to every dog I meet. Taking care of them isn’t just something I do—it’s something I love. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine and I have a flexible schedule. I’m available Monday through Friday starting at 9 AM to spend quality time with your pups, whether it’s playtime, walks, or general care. While I’m unable to board pets, I’m more than happy to stay overnight and provide attentive care in their familiar home environment. I am also available during the weekends as needed. Caring for pets, whether in my home or my client’s, is something I approach with a lot of love and enthusiasm. At my home, I make sure pets have a cozy, safe space where they feel comfortable and cared for. Freshwater, healthy meals, and plenty of playtime are always part of the routine. I know how important it is to keep their minds sharp and their tails wagging, so I add puzzle toys, games, and outdoor adventures to keep them happy and engaged. I love getting out and exploring with dogs—whether it’s walking the Katy Trail, visiting Mutts, or checking out dog parks around Dallas. These outings are great for burning off energy, socializing, and giving them the mental stimulation they need to thrive. Every dog has their own personality, so I make it a point to tailor each experience to what suits them best, whether they’re a high-energy adventurer or a laid-back companion. In my clients’ homes, I focus on keeping their pets comfortable by sticking to their usual routines. I follow feeding schedules, stick to walking routes they’re used to, and make sure they feel safe and loved while their owner is away. I always keep owners in the loop with updates and pictures, so they know their pets are in good hands. Whether we’re at home or out exploring the city, I’m all about making sure pets are happy, healthy, and having fun. Ultimately, I want every dog I care for to feel loved and their owners to feel at ease knowing their furry friend is in great hands.
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.
About: I grew up with dogs and previously had one of my own, so caring for them feels very natural to me. I genuinely love animals, and when a dog is in my care, their comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priority. Because I work from home with a flexible schedule, I can be present throughout the day and keep routines consistent, whether that means meals, potty breaks, playtime, walks, or medications given at the same time each day. I know how important consistency is for dogs, especially when they are staying somewhere new, and I do my best to make them feel secure, comfortable, and well cared for. I can’t currently have a dog of my own full-time because my work sometimes requires travel, which is part of why pet sitting means so much to me. I treat every dog in my care with the same attention, affection, and responsibility I would give my own. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so pet care fits very easily into my day. I can be home throughout the day for play time, feeding, bathroom breaks, and walks rather than leaving pets alone for long stretches. Your pet’s comfort and safety would be my priority. I live in an apartment, but I have two fenced-in patio areas for safe outdoor time, and I can also provide supervised walks and activity during the day. I’m careful about following each pet owner’s routine and instructions so their dog feels as comfortable and settled as possible. I’m also happy to send updates and photos while your pet is with me. I know it can feel nerve-wracking to trust someone else with your pet, so I carry pet-care insurance through Pet Sitters Associates for added peace of mind. My coverage applies to the services I offer, including sitting, walks, drop-ins, and boarding at my apartment, and includes expanded coverage for client pets plus additional property/bond coverage.
About: I have a lifelong background in caring for both cats and dogs, having grown up in a home full of dogs big and small and up to 7 cats at one time. I enjoy getting to know each animal’s unique personality and ensuring they feel comfortable and cared for. I treat every pet as if they were my own and am committed to providing dependable, compassionate, and trustworthy care. I work a hybrid schedule, most days I can take an afternoon or early morning to run an errand. I care for my two cats in the evening I enjoy walking animals, playing with them and ensuring their resources are refreshed. I can do just about anything you would need to ensure they are taken care of!
“If you want to know your babies are in good hands Dylan is your guy!!!!!! He was very communicative, updated us on everything and went above and beyond taking care of not only our dogs but our house to while we were away!! It is a great thing to come home to a spotless house and happy pups! We will definitely be using him again!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Highland Park is $50

We took a vacation for 9 days and hired Devoney to watch our two huskies. She was nothing short of a perfect dog sitter!!! I felt such peace traveling far from home knowing that she was taking great care of my babies. She is kind, gentle… a great communicator, sending daily photos and asking questions when needed. She kept them active with walks and made sure they had adequate potty breaks. When I returned home everything was cleaned up. I could tell the dogs were well cared for while we were away! Thank you so much Devoney! We will see you again soon :)
My pup is maybe just a touch (!!) too attached to me and went into separation anxiety mode the minute I left. Refused to go on walks, or even leave the yard. Kelsey handled it really well, trying everything she could think of to make my dog more comfortable. Rides in her car turned out to be the fix, along with just sitting on the grass with her stuffie, watching life go by. Kelsey sent lots of pics and messages which were much appreciated. I prepare my dog's meals and the sent photos showed that Kelsey made 'em just like I do. And my house looked the same as when I left. All in all a great Rover experience.
This is the 3rd time Shania has done obernights with my Maine Coons in a short period of time. I recently went on vacation for 6 days and Shania did a wonderful job of taking care of them, playing with them, and even cuddling with them - which means they must love her bc while MCs are loving Velcro cats, they aren’t lap cats for the most part. They really enjoy her company. She also went out of her way to wash a throw blanket that one of them threw up on, and even surprised me by washing my bath mats and bedding and remaking the bed bc she knew my flight home was very late and that I’d be ready to go to sleep. She always cleans up after her visits (which I certainly don’t expect but appreciate) while still making herself at home - always a compliment to the host bc when someone can enjoy your space and pets when you cant be there to do it. I’ll continue booking with her as long as I can bc she’s the absolute best!
Violet was wonderful!!! She was so communicative and loved sending pictures of my pups and cat. She did not hesitate to ask any questions about anything she wasn’t sure about and I honestly felt so at ease. I have older dogs which can leave me nervous when having someone watch them, but she had no problem taking them out more often and even dealing with potty pads for the occasional accident. My cat that is super anxious even came out and let her pet him!! Violet is awesome!!!
Avy was absolutely wonderful! Lyla is a big baby and definitely likes things her way, and Avy was patient and sweet with her, happily accommodating all her little quirks. From the start, it was clear Lyla was comfortable and well cared for. Avy was professional, pleasant, and dependable, and she sent regular updates that gave me peace of mind and let me relax while I was away. I also came home to a clean, well-cared-for house, which was a wonderful bonus. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I would absolutely trust Avy with Lyla and my home again, and I know Lyla can’t wait to see her! Highly recommend!
I cannot recommend Rory enough. She was the best house guest and Poppy’s best friend the entire time she sat for us. I felt so confident leaving Poppy in her care, and she shared multiple updates and photos daily. She cared for our home as if it was her own, even offering to take out the trash, unloaded our dishwasher, washed and refilled the bath towels, and prepped Poppy’s belongings together for our friends that planned to watch her next during our time away. Her professionalism and passion for animals is unmatched and I will be booking her many times more in the future!
My Lila loves Merry! We get plenty of photos pupdates throughout the trip. She goes on walks, gets snacks and plenty of outside time! Recently Lila was sick which is always concerning with a senior dog but Merry kept us up to date and stayed a little past the agreed time so Lila was alone shorter before we got back since our flight was delayed. Merry always leaves the house in the condition, if not better, than she found it!!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Highland Park on Rover is $53.28 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 5,107 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:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
