“Our experience with Jesse was absolutely amazing! We’ve never had someone stay at our home with our fur baby before, so we were a little nervous at the beginning, but the moment I met Jesse, I felt 100% comfortable leaving Thor and our home in her hands. She offered to come over before we left to meet us and Thor, and to go over details of the stay. She sent pictures during our trip (which I loved!) and I could tell Thor was very happy to have her there. We are so thankful to have found Jesse, and will absolutely be using her in the future! I recommend Jesse 100% !”
“Kelly was great with my 5 month old puppy! She took him on walks and played with him and even cleaned up after him when he got sick! We will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Sovan was great with our two doodles! He put our minds at ease, gave regular updates, and followed instructions. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing everything was going smoothly. He dogsit at our home and everything was exactly how we left it.”
“I have never left my dog with anyone other than family or friends so I was nervous using rover for my first time. I had a friend cancel for watching my dog Saint a DAY before a trip I had planned. I was freaking out and didn’t know what to do. I found Kierra and rover and gave it a shot. She accepted my booking the day before I left and I couldn’t be more thankful. Kierra exceeded my expectations x 100! My dog Saint loves her and when I came home he was happy and well taken care of. Kierra checked in with me and sent me photos during my time away which made me feel sooooo much better. I would 100% recommend her to anyone, and will be using her services anytime I go out of town again and can’t take my baby!”
“kyleigh house sat for a week while we travelled abroad, and when we came home our pup was acting totally normal and the home was spotless. she also sent us photo updates most days which helped us enjoy the travels without worrying about our doggo. highly recommend!!”
“Linda is wonderful! She truly loves dogs. She treated Flo like her own. We canceled this bokking once because of Hurricane Milton then rebooked after the storm had passed and we made it through unscathed. Linda, however, had lost power at her house. We will definitely book with Linda again-- if she is available! She is understandably in high demand.”
“Anthony was great! Took good care of a Denver with lots of walks and trips to our dog park. Very easy to communicate with him , it was nice to know Denver was in good hands. He even sent pictures everyday of her!”
“Jocelyn did an amazing job watching Honey! She kept me updated and sent so many photos while I was away. Honey was in great hands and I’ll definitely be using her again!”
About: I've looked after my own pets throughout the course of my life, as well as family and friends' animals. I have worked with smaller dogs and larger, older and younger dog, as well as cats and a bird. I am also open to other animal types as needed. Weekends are my most flexible times for the high-energy furry friends! I work full time Monday through Friday during the days; weekdays are best for the pets that are used to their families gone during the days Petcare in a client's home is tailored to the pet's needs and family's rules. My goal is to remove any stress from pets and provide stability while the family is away
“Beverly took great care of our puppy. She communicated daily with texts and pictures. It was so good to know she was safe and cared for while we were out of the country! Poppy is a handful and Beverly gave her 3 walks a day. Thankful we had Beverly to count on.”
“Zachariah did a fantastic job taking care of my large dog and 2 cats. Couldn’t have asked for a more professional experience and he left my house looks spotless. Would recommend his services to anyone!”
About: Hi! I’m Pinellas County local returning after spending several years abroad. This past year while living in Germany, I’ve had the absolute privilege of caring for more than 40 pets using Rover’s German-equivalent, Pawshake, where I take great pride in maintaining a 5 star rating and building trust with more than a dozen pet parents that chose to rebook me again and again. I have experience caring for breeds large and small, and pets young and old. From an elderly chihuahua to an 8-week-old Rhodesian Ridgeback, I’ve developed an expertise in understanding dogs of all ages and sizes, interpreting their needs, and ensuring their ultimate comfort and happiness while they’re in my care. I have experience caring for as many as 3 dogs at once, as well as house sitting overnight in the pet’s home and boarding pets over night in my own home. My favorite part of pet sitting is the relationships I get to build with both my pets and their parents. :) Thank you for considering my services—please reach out with any questions! I work remotely for myself, which allows me ultimate flexibility to adapt and coordinate to your schedule and your pet’s needs! My pet parents frequently comment on how helpful it is to them that I’m frequently available for last-minute bookings, as well as maintain flexibility to shift my schedule around, extend time, etc. as needed. The pet’s comfort is my first and foremost priority, which means that the first thing that’s required is that I build trust with the pet. This starts by me asking several questions about the pet, which I will use to adapt my approach to trust-building with your pet (playing with a favorite toy, treats, or simply sitting together at first—every pet needs something different!). I ensure that I stick to the schedule or routine that they are used to, and make sure to send lots of pictures and updates so that you’re always kept in the loop!
About: I’ve had dogs for most of my life and have dog sat for multiple families. I am familiar with mostly all dog breeds. I have unconditional love for all animals, especially dogs! I am experienced in caring for dogs needs as I have owned dogs most of my life. I will treat every dog like my own I am available mornings and afternoons Sunday through Friday to walk and play with your pups! I have just recently moved to st Pete from Indianapolis and I am loving this dog friendly city. I would love to spend quality time with your furry friends and show them all the love! I am able to welcome your pups into my home or travel to your home! Will crate dogs if needed. I will do whatever It takes to make sure your dog is comfortable and all needs are met! I am also available to stay overnight if needed.
“I would give Emily 10 stars if I could. She did a fantastic job looking after a difficult energetic dog. We got visual and/or text updates daily, and Emily took great care of the house, too. It's so good to know that your pup is well taken care of while you're away. P.S. Thank you so much, Emily, and I'm sure we'll be contacting you again soon!”
“Kaitlyn was great with my dog, Hudson! She gave him love and care as if he were her own. She was communicative, timely and send a ton of photos and updates each day! As someone who is super picky with choosing someone to care for my dog, I couldn't have been happier with Kaitlyn! She also left my home spotless and in the same condition I left it in, would 100% use her again!”
“Mr. Jason was absolutely amazing in taking care of my husky. He followed all my instructions and went above and beyond, taking my boy on walks down the trail. If you want someone who will be attentive to your dogs needs and provide them with all the love, cuddles, and attention, this is the sitter to book. I have booked several sitters before on this app, but I dont think my boy has ever loved and missed a sitter before. He definitely misses hanging out with mr Jason.”
“Brook is so great! She is kind, caring, respectful, professional and the doggies loved her! She was able to send pics of my pups during her stay and it seemed like they were having a blast! I’ll definitely will be rebooking with her in the future!”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Highpoint
First time using Rover for our pups and Paola was fantastic! We didn’t know exactly what to expect but she for sure exceeded expectations. Daily walks, continued check ins (on both dogs and with pics to us). Overall, 10/10 experience and would recommend her to anyway looking to leave there pups in good hands!
Michaela was absolutely amazing and took wonderful care of my dog and two cats! She sent photos and updates of all three every day, which gave me so much peace of mind. She was also incredibly respectful of my home and personal belongings. I would recommend her 10/10 and will definitely book with her again!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Shannon did an amazing job taking care of our two dogs, Leo and Choco! This was our first time using Rover, and she made the entire experience stress-free. She was very communicative, sent us regular updates and photos, and followed all of our instructions carefully. She was incredibly patient with Leo, our Husky, who can be a little stubborn at times, and she handled everything with great care. We came home to two happy, relaxed dogs, and it was clear they were well looked after. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Shannon again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!
Diane was amazing! We were in a bit of a jam because our former sitter quit after we had already purchased plane tickets. Diane found someone to watch her dog, so she could stay with our 3. She was here day and night, other than running errands. She sent pics and updates throughout the day and was very communicative. One of the dogs was having digestive issues, so Diane picked up chicken and rice at my request. She also made him some homemade bone broth because he wasn't drinking much water, and she didn't want him to get dehydrated. Our house was very clean when we returned. Diane went above and beyond for us and the pups, and we are so grateful! Highly recommend!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 Highpoint 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 Highpoint 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Highpoint 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
