“We had a great experience with Camryn and felt completely at ease leaving our pets in her care. From the start, communication was clear and reliable. While we were away, we received regular updates and photos, which really helped us feel reassured that everything was going well.”

“If you need a rockstar dog sitter, Tory’s it! She watched our two girls over spring break and did an amazing job. She was communicative, paid detailed attention to their schedules, and sent the best pics. It was clear from the pictures and videos that our girls were having a great time and being so well cared for. She also went above and beyond and the house was spotless- couldn’t tell she’d been there!”

About: I’ve loved pets my entire life ! I’m a very trustworthy sitter who makes sure to give pets more TLC while reassuring pet parents along the way! I am currently self employed, so my schedule is very open! I’m also open to specific schedule accommodations and needs that make pet care easy and smooth.

About: Hi! My name is Deyanira, and I am a full-time online student who works from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of time, attention, and love to the pets in my care. Before becoming a full-time student, I worked in Special Education for 10 years. Through my experience as a Special Education teacher, I developed a strong sense of patience, responsibility, compassion, and understanding. Working with students who had different needs taught me the importance of creating a safe, supportive, and caring environment. These are the same qualities I bring to caring for animals. I have been surrounded by dogs amd cats my entire life, and I truly believe that pets are more than just animals, they are family. Over the years, I have also cared for pets belonging to family members, friends, and neighbors. These experiences have helped me understand that every pet has its own personality, routine, and individual needs. Whether your furry friend loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby to keep them company, I will make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I understand how important it is to maintain their daily routines, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, and giving them the attention they deserve. Since I attend school online and work from home, I have the flexibility to spend quality time with pets throughout the day. I understand that being away from your furry family member can be stressful, so my goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring and responsible hands. I am also happy to provide regular updates and pictures so you can feel connected to your pet while you're away. I treat every pet with the same love, patience, respect, and care that I would want someone to give my own. Their happiness, comfort, and safety will always be my priorities. My goal is simple: to make your pet feel loved, protected, and right at home, even when you're away. 🐾❤️ Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions! I would love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family member. I look forward to providing a loving, safe, and positive experience for your pet! I am currently a full-time online student and work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule to provide your furry babies with plenty of love, attention, and care throughout the day. 🐾❤️😺🐶 My parents are also home, providing an extra loving presence. I live in a home with a fenced yard where pets can safely play and enjoy outdoor activities under my supervision. There is also a dog park just 10 minutes away where we can enjoy walks, exercise, and playtime with your permission. Whether caring for your pet in my home or yours, I will always respect your rules, follow their daily routines, and accommodate any special needs or preferences. I treat every pet like family and will make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I am also happy to provide pictures and updates for your peace of mind. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns! 🐾❤️ 😺🐶
About: A little about me…I absolutely love animals! I would be the person who will feed a stray and make sure it’s taken care of or potentially finds a home. I provide attentive care, including feeding, walks, playtime, and plenty of affection. I’m also comfortable following specific routines, administering basic medications if needed, and keeping owners updated with regular photos and messages for peace of mind. I treat every dog as if they were my own and strive to create a fun, stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. I would love the opportunity to care for your furry family member! I am available whenever needed. My teenage kids also love to help me with the fur babies I care for. We are all animal lovers. ❤️ I have a fenced yard so your pet will always be safe with me. I will make sure to always protect your pet while with me.
“Journey was great! This is the second time that she’s watched my two dogs and she was awesome. She took excellent care of the dogs and the house and she communicated often with pictures of the dogs. They looked happy and comfortable with her which helped me be at ease and enjoy my vacation fully.”

About: My name is Melody and I have always loved caring for pets and helping out in the community. I have a small background in pet sitting, totaling about 2 years now. I am not a Baytown native, but I have lived in the area for about 3 years and am getting to know the area more and more each day. I am bilingual, consider myself to be very friendly and love it if I can bring a smile to someone’s day. I look forward to meeting new people and being able to lend a hand by taking good care of your furry friends, big or small.

If you should have any questions please feel free to reach out to me and I will be more than happy to provide some answers. I work from home and as a result am able to care for your fur babies constantly. I love relaxing when I’m not working and I’d love to have your fur babies around for company 🙂. I have a fenced yard and can provide your pets some exercise time outside. I also have 2 golden retrievers who are very friendly with other dogs and would love to make some new friends.
“Such a pleasant experience. Atticus gets such bad separation anxiety and she took him on walks and helped keep him happy. He didn’t turn his back to me and pout like he normally does after trips, lol. The house was in great condition after, as well.”

“Jairo was very accommodating my wife water broke early and put a wrench in our dog sitting plans, but last minute request with jairo with was lucky for us cause we can be at the hospital knowing our dogs have the best care.”

About: I am a dog-lover and dog rescue mom who genuinely loves and cares for all animals. Recently laid off and ready to help your family with dog walking and drop in needs!

“If you’re a short reader: BOOK JOSUÉ YOU WONT REGRET IT. For those who want the details: We have 2 senior dogs and a 1 year old cat. All three of them are truly my children and have never been left with a stranger. After booking a week long cruise with family, we were left to utilize Rover. Who knew after booking Josué, we would not only find someone our pets adored but someone that we adored too! We got daily silly videos and updates, he even stopped by to meet us beforehand to calm my nerves. He took great care of everyone and our home! He even organized my freezer (thanks Josué)! We will continue to book Josué anytime we need any pet sitting, but most importantly he left as a friend! Thank you for being such a sweet kind pet lover Josué! The world needs more light like you. See you soon!”

About: A brief summary of my experience, for over 10 years I have been a pet sitter and house sitter. Helping family, friends, recommended to neighbors, and coworkers. I have looked after tiny Yorkies to great danes of all ages. My care for pets have extended to a day to a whole month. At this time I work from home full time, but I am available to step away to do check ins as well as stay overnight if needed. I highly value keeping pet parents updated and informed. Communication, texts, and photos will be sent along their daily activity updates. I love to give each pet the acquired attention and care they need.
About: I have always had animals growing up. Including dogs, cats, bunnies, guinea pigs, hamsters and fish! Professional care for animals started about 6 years ago. I am also a certified pet groomer! I am working 4/10s Monday - Thursday and am free on weekends. I do have two pets at home that are extremely well with others! The more details the better, I can comply and follow detailed instructions to have your pet on schedule with regular routine. I typically like to leash pets to ensure safety.
“We can’t say enough wonderful things about Roxi! She took such incredible care of our furbabies and our flock while we were out of town. Knowing they were in her hands gave us such peace of mind. Roxi cared for our animals and our home as if they were her very own. She went above and beyond to make sure everyone was happy, safe, loved, and well cared for. It’s such a special feeling to find someone you can completely trust with the things that mean the most to you. Roxi is truly a wonderful soul, and we feel so lucky to have found her. We came home to happy babies and a well-cared-for home, and we couldn’t be more grateful. We will absolutely be using Roxi again for our next out-of-town trip and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable. ❤️🐾🐔”

About: Hi there, I'm Krystal, a genuine animal lover! I have an American Pit bull terrier about to be 8 years old and leopard gecko. I have a large yard and home with plenty of space for outdoor play, a few parks and a bayou nearby to take your fur baby out on a nice walk. I would prefer all pets to be house trained but its okay if they're pad trained. I work during the daytime and rotate care shifts with my hubs when I'm away so your fur baby will always have a set of eyes on them at all times. We are a team with pet sitting so your baby will always be in good hands! For overnight care, I'll be able to stay and care for your pet in your home as well while you're away. Any special requests can be accommodated. Do not be afraid to ask questions during a booking! Let me know when I can care for your pet! I’m always glad to help and be a care giver! I work part-time and have open availability. Dog parks visits are a favorite! Potty breaks are frequently given and walks as well unless otherwise discussed. Please keep in mind, due to extreme heat temperatures, your pet may be walked earlier/later than usual to prevent health concerns. I do offer a medium crate and separate eating/drinking tray for your fur baby! Shampoos and brushing available upon request during their stay and can be given if they do get dirty during their stay or outdoor/playtime.
“Can’t say enough good about Jennifer. Her communication was impeccable, she left the house as good as we left it, and our golden was in great care. Will certainly be reaching out to have her watch our home again soon.”

Josue’s calm and gentle demeanor was perfect for our shy cat, he gave her the space she needed while still making her feel safe and cared for. We loved the daily video updates and felt completely confident Sunshine was in good hands, and would absolutely recommend Josue.

The average cost of House Sitting in Highlands is $17 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $17 per night.

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 Highlands 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 Highlands 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 Highlands 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Highlands. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
