“Kathleen is very kind and kept me updated while I was gone. When I got back Junebug looked like she had an amazing stay-cation with Kathleen. My house was in better condition than I left it as well. A++++”
“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!!!”
“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.”
“The girls thoroughly enjoyed their time with you. We appreciate the short notice booking and you helping us out. The girls are forward to see you next month. Thank you are all the love and care.”
“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!!”
“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.”
“Emily (Paige) was soooo great with our dogs Harley and Prince! I’m usually one of those super paranoid dog moms, and I did not feel uneasy or worried one single time. She was super communicative and sent tons of pictures & updates of our babies! I also let her know not to worry about cleaning any bed sheets or towels, and when I got home, everything was cleaned and folded neatly on the bed. She also left a new bag of treats on the counter with a little note :) We will for sure be using her again in the future! Thanks for taking such great care of our babies, Paige!!”
“We couldn’t be happier with Tristen. Caring for three senior dogs, each with their own needs and medications, is no small task and she handled it with incredible patience, responsibility and genuine care. Medication ls were given on time, routines were followed and our dogs were clearly comfortable and well cared for. Knowing our home and senior pups were in such capable hands allowed us to enjoy our time away without any worry. We highly recommend Tristen and would absolutely book again.”
“Stacey was amazing! My two dogs seemed to have a great time and were happy when I got back home. She followed all of my instructions and I really hope to have her back to watch my home and pups soon! ❤️”
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.
“Hannah was great with our two dogs, Harley and Prince! She was there when she said she’d be, did everything we asked, and even went above and beyond to trim one of our dog’s nails without her asking… thank you Hannah!”
“Paul was just fantastic. Sent updates and took wonderful care of our Dallas. No problems at all. Would highly recommend him to take care of ur fur baby. I will definitely use him again. Our Dallas enjoyed him a lot.”
“5 Stars – Excellent Care from Jose! We had a fantastic experience with Jose through Rover! From the start, he was friendly, professional, and clearly experienced with animals. Our dog felt comfortable with him right away, and that gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Jose kept us updated with regular messages and adorable photos, which we really appreciated. It was obvious he truly cared and went the extra mile to make sure everything was perfect. When we returned, our pup was happy, relaxed, and well cared for. We’re so grateful for Jose’s kindness and reliability — we’ll definitely be booking with him again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitter!”
“Brad was amazing with my pup and took great care Of my beta fish as well. He gave daily pupdates and provided lots of photos so I could relax and know Alamo was in good hands”
About: I love animals and love taking care of them! I grew up with dogs and helping take care of them and started pet sitting for friends and family in college and still love to do it! I got my own sweet pup 3 years ago and but still enjoy watching other people’s pets as well! I’m great with dogs of all size and cats. Is your pup high energy? No problem! I love playing with dogs or taking them on walks if they need to get their energy out. Currently I live with another couple so I can’t bring pets to my home, but I am happy to watch them at your house or do drop by visits if you prefer! Either way, I can’t wait to meet your sweet dog or cat and make them feel loved and cared for in your absence!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Highland Village
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!
Ashton was absolutely fantastic, watching our bichon frise, Alfredo! He went above and beyond, keeping us updated with pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear Alfredo was happy and well cared for – we couldn’t have asked for a better experience!
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!
Initially we were concerned about leaving our home and dog to a stranger. One thing we learned is to give clear and specific instructions in writing so the sitter knew our expectations of walking and feeding tour dog. Once we had communicated this Matt did a great job. He kept in touch and asked questions when necessary. He left the house clean and tidy and even washed the bedding and towels. Our dog was well cared for and we would use Matt again should the need arise
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 $42.49 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 5,069 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Highland Village. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% 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.
