“Kathleen is a gem!! She stayed at our home for 10 nights with our 2 dogs. She sent pictures each morning and asked questions when she had any. Our home was in tip top shape when we returned and all instructions were followed perfectly. And most importantly our doggies were super happy and relaxed. I think they miss her ❤️ We’ll happily use her again!”
“Amazing sitter, very kind, nice, respectful and truly cared for our home and animals. Looking forward to working with you again, I’d book again in a heartbeat!!!”
About: I have owned Labrador Retrievers and Cocker Spaniels. My friends have relied on me to care for their dogs when they vacation and visit family. My experience with friends’ dogs include mixed breeds, Golden Doodles and Golden Retrievers. I am more flexible on weekends than during the week. I’m willing to come twice daily to pet, play and nurture your precious loving companion I love to play catch, walk, pet, snuggle and care for a variety of dogs. I have babysat dogs since I was twelve years old
“I was super nervous since this was my first time leaving our dogs at home and using Rover. Leigh was absolutely amazing! She sent me tons of pictures and updates throughout her stay and did an awesome job taking care of our babies! Definitely will be using her from now on!”
About: I’ma a huge animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. Since I was young, friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to help care for their pets. I’m patient, dependable, and love spending time making sure pets are happy, active, and well cared for while their owners are away. I grew up around pets and currently help care for a Great Pyrenese and three cats so I’m very comfortable with animals of all sizes and personalities. I just moved back to Dallas after graduating from Texas Tech, so I have plenty of time to take care of pets while I am searching for a job! I’m comfortable caring for large breeds, multiple pets at once, and keeping up with feeding, walking, and cleaning routines. I have experience caring for dogs and cats, and I always make sure pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away.
“Rebekah did a wonderful job keeping my babies and home safe while I was away. She sent photos and little updates which I loved! Definitely will be having Rebekah help out if I need it again!!”
“What a pleasant surprise. Needed a pet sitter and Hannah came through with flying colors. Was quick to communicate, animals were happy, and house was very well maintained. Cannot say enough good things about Hannah. Will definitely be booking again.”
About: Growing up with two dogs, westie and lab was where I grew to love animals. I’ve helped dog sit friends and take care of my own. I’m flexible at the moment and willing to help at any times of the day! Either on the weekends or week day. Prefer to walk dogs rather than house sit. Prefer to have animals for dog walking and have done before along with having to take care of my own! I love all animals and having dogs growing up showed me all what it takes to be a dog owner and look after them.
“Thankful for a last minute booking- Ren kept me updated on my two and I was at ease knowing they were home. I’m a bit of an overprotective dog mom but the photo updates really helped!”
“Francesca did great. Our dog was happy and healthy when we returned. She communicated promptly with us when we checked in and we wouldn’t hesitate to reach out to her again when needed.”
“Kaitlyn was amazing! I’m so thankful we found her. Oliver found his new best friend that gave him lots of love & hugs, played with him, and took such good care of him. She kept me constantly updated that made me felt at ease while I was away from my baby.”
About: From foster dogs to my family’s 18 year old American Eskimo, I have taken care of dogs at every stage of their life. A Shih Tzu, a Pits, a Bulldog, a Great Pyrenees , an Irish Wolfhound, no matter the dog, I’ve developed a strong bond with every dog I’ve met. I began taking care of dogs since I was 7 years old , and sitting at neighbors homes since I was 16 years old. I learned at an early age to care for elderly dogs and dogs with conditions that require special care and treatment— whether that is ensuring they receive medications or aiding and preventing any mobility mishaps- I am extremely vigilant when it comes to a dog’s state of wellbeing. I’d like to think that high energy dogs have a special place in my heart as I grew up taking my own dog on early morning and late evening runs. So if that is the case with your dog that will not be a problem! I’m available for pet care essentially any time of the week as my WFH schedule has allowed me the flexibility to be at home with your pet or take it on a walk(s) anytime of the day. This is great for any pets prone to separation anxiety After ensuring your pet trusts me and is comfortable with me around, I provide the best care I can to a pet whose owner is not home by simply their temporary companion to have until their owners come home. Going on walks & runs, visits to the dog park, tug-o-war, or just lounging around as I work or read a book. My dog’s favorite was laying in the sun poolside and drying off with me after a long day of swimming! And updating owners with fun pics of their dogs as often as I can — I know I this put me at ease when someone was taking care of Frisco. I find caring for other’s dogs like I do my own makes everyone feel safe & happy.
“I felt very comfortable with Gregory staying with Benji, he communicated with me daily and gave me updates on Benji. I loved that Benji felt safe with him that made very happy. Very grateful and thankful!”
“As usual Brad did a fantastic job. My dog has separation anxiety and needs to be watched in my home. He is consistent with updates and I get photos and videos while I’m away. I can’t put into words how appreciative I am for Brad and his help with my boy Alamo. I’ll definitely use him again and would definitely recommend him to others!”
“Elizabeth really went above and beyond! She sent frequent updates for peace of mind, gave them plenty of snuggles & spent quality time with our pets. She left my home better than I left it! Highly highly recommend Elizabeth!!”
“We've used Beth to watch our 5 fur babies (3 big dogs, 2 cats) at our house the last 2 times we have gone out of town. She has been fantastic with communication, keeping us updated and sending pictures on a daily basis. She is always very prompt and proactive regarding appointments and upcoming bookings. In short she is fantastic and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Highland Village
Francesca was amazing. Our pups have a little anxiety & we haven’t had much luck in boarding them when traveling. Francesca stayed at our house with the pups and took excellent care of them! She was quick to respond to any message, and it’s clear she took excellent care of them while we were gone 💓
Matt was absolutely fantastic with our three big pups! From the moment we left, he kept us updated with regular messages and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear they were happy, comfortable, and getting lots of attention and love while we were away. Our dogs absolutely adored him, and it was obvious he genuinely cared for them like they were his own. We came home to three happy, well-cared-for pups, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We highly recommend Matt and will definitely be booking him again!
Arianna did a wonderful job with our two mini dachshunds. Unfortunately one of the them became ill while we were away, Arianna took her to the vet right away, made sure she had her meds, and took the additional steps needed for our dog's care while we were gone the rest of the week. In addition, I came home to a well-kept house. Highly recommend, would use again.
Jamie and Barry took care of our dog Poppy for 12 days as well as managed our gardens and flower pots. They did an amazing job. We were sent daily updates on Poppy with fantastic photos which allowed us to relax about her care while we enjoyed our vacation. 5 star A+ service from this duo team. I would highly recommend them. Thank you Jamie and Barry!
Leo was just amazing with Jake & Kai! They love her! She took great care of my home and pups while I was away for an important weekend for my daughter's college graduation. She sent daily updates and pictures, which was such a comfort, knowing my pups were so well taken care of. I'm truly grateful for such a caring, conscientious, trustworthy, and fun sitter for my pups! Thanks so much, Leo!
London was incredible!! She stayed at our house and made the whole experience completely stress-free. My dogs loved her and I loved all the updates and pictures while we were away. It’s such a relief to find someone you can trust in your home. Everything was perfect when we got back😀 The dogs were happy and the house was cleaner than when we left! I’ll definitely be booking her again!
Talia was great! Very attentive to our dog Goose and our cats Lily and Grim. Goose had a hot spot during her stay and Talia messaged us. Asked if she wanted her to take him to our vet or if she could help him. She fixed goose up and he was better by the time we got home. Talia was awesome!!!
Heather was a great house sitter. Both Kumi and Jade were happy and well taken care of, and we appreciated her regular updates and photos. When we returned the house was clean and orderly. We will differently be looking for Heather to house sit again in the future.

FAQs for House Sitting - Highland Village
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Highland Village on Rover is $42.18 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 4,997 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Highland Village. 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 Village 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 Village 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 Village 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.
