“Jodi was amazing with Louie and Maggie. She paid close attention to every detail, especially Louie's medications, which gave us so much peace of mind. Louie is a senior dog, and Jodi watched over him with extra care, patience, and kindness. It was clear she truly understood his needs. Both dogs were happy and well cared for, and we felt completely confident leaving them in her hands. We would absolutely book Jodi again and highly recommend her to anyone—especially if you have a senior pet. 🐾💛”

About: Hi! I’m a huge animal lover and have owned my dog since he was a puppy, so I understand the patience, care, and attention dogs need at every stage. I’ve also helped train both my own dog and dogs for neighbors, which has given me experience with different personalities, routines, and behaviors. I’ll treat your pets like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away! I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets lots of attention, playtime, and care throughout the day. I’m available most weekdays and weekends and can work with your pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and stress-free. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always make sure pets feel secure, loved, and well cared for in both my home and yours.

About: I have 40 years of pup to elder care experience. Training, care and presence for comfort and ease of the dog while owners are away can ease stress. Giving them attention and distraction will help in the owners absence. I’m retired and am wiling to take on all schedules and scenarios. I can feed, water, walk and administer medicine as needed and on schedule. I care for my dogs as if they are my kids. They are fed, cared for and vetted regularly. I would care for the owners dogs the same way or whatever way they ask me to.

About: I have a genuine love for animals and provide reliable, attentive care tailored to each pet’s individual needs. I primarily focus on dog walking and drop-in visits, ensuring pets receive consistent exercise, companionship, and routine while their owners are away. I also offer occasional boarding in a calm, safe environment when needed. I am comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and energy levels, as well as cats with a variety of personalities—from playful and social to shy and independent. I have experience working with puppies who are still learning leash manners and basic training, and I am patient and attentive with senior pets who may need slower walks, extra monitoring, or medication to be administered as directed. I am currently available throughout the week and on weekends at any time through out the day. My schedule can be very flexible to your needs. When caring for pets in my home, safety and supervision are always my top priorities. I have a large backyard that is fenced, and all outdoor time is fully supervised and unless otherwise discussed and approved by the owner. Dogs are never left unattended outside. Walks, potty breaks, and playtime are structured to ensure each pet’s safety and comfort. Inside my home, pets are treated as part of the family while still maintaining their normal routines as closely as possible. I follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any specific care guidelines provided by the owner. I also ensure pets have appropriate rest time and a calm environment, especially for senior pets or those who may be more anxious. I have a friendly, well-socialized Golden Retriever who does very well with other dogs. All interactions are closely monitored, and I am selective about compatibility to ensure a positive experience for everyone. I also have an 8-year-old daughter who has grown up around animals and understands how to interact respectfully and gently with pets. Pets are never left unsupervised with children. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routines carefully, including walks, feeding, litter box maintenance, playtime, and home security expectations. I provide regular updates so owners feel confident their pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
About: We love dogs! We are called first when any of our friends go out of town. We have cared for dogs of all sizes and ages from older doxies to young mutts and we love large rotties too. We are also okay with special needs dogs and we make sure your dog gets their medications when scheduled. Our lab loves to make new friends with dogs of all sizes. We have a nice privacy fenced in back yard with a kiddie pool to help the dogs keep cool during the summer even though they will spend most of the time inside. Please know that if your pup stays with us he or she will be treated like a part of the family. We love dogs! I help my Dad on his farm only when I'm not scheduled to care for a pup I'm hosting. I'm free to stay at home all day with your pet. I always keep an eye on what's going on. I'm usually outside if our pups are. If I'm watching a pet at your home, I don't make messes.

FAQs for House Sitting - Highlandville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 269 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Highlandville. 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 Highlandville 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 Highlandville 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 Highlandville 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.
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.
