“Megan and Lee stayed with our pups for an extended timeframe and did a terrific job caring for them. One is a senior dog and the other a needy Velcro dog and we felt very comfortable with the care they provided. We would use them again. They also took care of miscellaneous house stuff that popped up while we were gone. Great communication.”
About: I've always grown up around animals, I've never even lived in a home without some kind of furry friend. I've had dogs since I was younger than 5 and my family used to foster for a program in Alabama called a New Leash on Life. I've had my own dog since college and he is dog reactive. Through patience and consistency, he's now able to comfortably play with other dogs while still understanding his own limits. I genuinely love animals and this seems like a great opportunity to spend time with some without adopting 16 more pets. Since I work full-time during the week, pet care fits best into my weekends. I can also help on weeknights after 6pm, with no conflicts. My schedule can be flexible with enough prep time. I don’t offer boarding in my own home, but I’m happy to come to yours for potty breaks, playtime, and overnight sitting. I make sure pets get the attention they need — whether that’s exercise, cuddles, or just keeping their routine consistent. During overnights, I stay attentive to their comfort and safety, so you can feel confident they’re well. I can accommodate any weird or fun quirks that your pet has because mine definitely has more than a few.
“Jennifer was amazing! Super communicative & so kind. We felt completely at ease leaving our pups with her as soon as we met her. Huck & Wyatt enjoyed their time with her so much that I don't think they even noticed we were gone ha! We enjoyed our time away even more knowing they were being so well cared for by her, thanks Jennifer!”
“Gabi was great and we look forward to using her again in the future! Amazing communication, quick response, lots of updates and pictures and most importantly… happy dogs!! It was a relief to not be worried while we were away for a few days.”
About: I’ve taken care of doggies most of my entire life. I’m experienced, quick on my feet and energetic. I have a large, grassy backyard with a privacy fence, so your pup has freedom to run around as much as he or she wants! Excited to meet your little fur baby! I work from home so I have the flexibility to go out and walk or play with your pup! I’m free all weekends as well. I have my own doggie who is friendly, energetic and loves to play. He gets along with everyone. My house has a big backyard with a fence so the dogs are free to run around as much as they’d like. I also have a portable fence for inside the house if needed.
“Our dogs had such a good time with Scott that they were actually sad to see him go when we returned from our trip! I am sure they will be elated next time they see him. Scott is easygoing, communicative, and has our full trust. We're so glad to have found Scott and know our pups are in good hands with him!”
About: I've owned a dog most of my life. I love dogs, but at this stage of life, I find it more rewarding to care for other people's pets and not own one of my own. I had a black lab for 14 years. She was my best friend. I'm sure you feel the same way, which is why you are looking for a sitter. Why place your pet in a kennel when I can stay with them in the home they know? Take that long weekend, or extended stay, knowing your home and pet are safe under my care. I'm an early riser. The dog is often my alarm clock. I prefer to let the dog out in a fenced yard. If the dog is well-trained on a leash, I can walk it and pick up droppings. We enjoy breakfast. I avoid people food, no matter how much they beg, unless you tell me otherwise. Active dogs want to play. Most will show me their favorite toy or game. I am retired but work from home. I am an artist and post my work online. I will ask for your wifi connection. Most pets stay with me while I work. We take frequent breaks to play, cuddle, or go out. The dog tells me what he/she is used to, along with your instructions. I'll follow your feeding and treats schedule to the letter. Later in the day, we watch TV. Many dogs enjoy Animal Planet or sporting events. I am an NFL fan and find many pets like the games too. At bedtime, I am OK if your pet wants to sleep with me. I find that a family with a fenced yard works best for your dog and for me. Your pet may act differently on a leash around other people or animals with me than they do with you. Keeping them safely in a yard avoids them breaking free of their collar or tangling with another dog. I will rarely need to leave your home during my stay, but if I do, your pet will be secured per your instructions and your home locked.
About: I’ve always loved working with animals. I have hands on experience caring for all breeds of animals. I'm active, dependable, and genuinely enjoy spending time outdoors, whether that's going for walks, hikes, or simply getting fresh air. Because of my animal background, I'm comfortable around animals of all sizes and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and attentive care. As a pet caregiver, I'll treat your pets like they're my own. Whether your dog needs a quick potty break, a long walk to burn off energy, or extra attention while you're away, I'll make sure they feel safe, cared for, and loved. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I’m currently working part time, which allows me to have flexibility and availability throughout the day for dog walks, drop in visits, and pet care. Your pets safety, comfort, and well being are always my top priorities. I understand that trusting someone with your pet and home is a big decision, and I take that responsibility seriously. I strive to provide a calm, safe, and positive environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for while you're away.
“Karen is very accountable and experienced. She took Dolly on several walks per day. She was a great in home pet sitter. Dolly was taken care just like Karen would care for her dogs. I highly recommend Karen.”
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs and have grown up with them. Neighbors and friends tend to rely on me if they need a sitter for a weekend or even a week long vacation. I am available to be working on weekends all day. Mondays and fridays after 3 pm. Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays after 5 pm. I am a full time college student but live at home. I have a fenced in backyard for them to run around in. They’re is a boarding place a few minutes from my house if that is ever needed
“Suzanne was great with my new puppy. She arrived on time and was here from 6 am - 4:00. She sent text and photos of my 13 week old puppy. She walked and played all day”
“Rowan was amazing! We have two dogs and three cats that she took great care of. We got pictures and updates everyday we were gone. She played with everyone and gave them all plenty of love! I definitely recommend her to take care of your fur babies!”
“Drew always takes excellent care of our pets and home. With this stay, he came a day early due to the snowstorm and stayed until he knew we would make it home which was a huge relief when traveling in bad weather.”
About: I grew up with dogs and cats around me since I was a baby, and have always held a special place in my heart for them. When my parents, as well as family friends, would go out of town, I would frequently be responsible for feeding the animals, taking them on walks, or simply just keeping them company. My mom is a veteranrian so I have grown up with a great role model on how to treat animals in a safe and respectful way. I am home for 2 months before my study abroad trip, Dec. 21st-Febuary 10th. I have a completely free schedule until then. I am able to provide services Monday-Sunday. I have a large backyard that I can throw toys in and have 2 other dogs that can keep them company. One is a Leonberger and the other is a Jack Russell Terrier.
“Great communication. Went above and beyond with cleaning muddy paw prints off the floor due to the rain. Followed all directions and asked questions if he was unsure of something. Highly recommend for your pets needs!”
“Karley took such great care of our poodle mix! She communicated well and often. I wasn’t worried for one moment about Kiki while we were on a family vacation. Glad we found her and will use again!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Highpoint is $45
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Highpoint
Zoe was fantastic! This was the first time we have used Rover and on short notice, we requested Zoe pet sit overnight for multiple nights. She was very responsive to messages/texts from the start, sent many pictures documenting our dog's daily activity and kept the house tidy. She was very thoughtful and sweet. We would definitely use her services again! Highly recommend!
Bethany was freaking incredible. I gave her so many instructions to follow for my pets routine, and she followed them to the tee. My dog fell in love with her. She was able to administer medicine to my cat AND put a harness on him… if you know anything about cats, you will know how hard that is to do…. Amazing. Thank you so much Bethany for making my first experience on rover a seamless process. I can’t wait to book you again!
Olivia was outstanding! She was everything her resume and past reviews said she was... and more! I have three dogs, 2 that are up in years and 1 that requires medication and monitoring daily. Olivia connected with them right away and she provided excellent care for all of them. She is dependable, reliable and professional,, all the things you look for when you are entrusting someone to care for the pets you love. I had a number of pet routines that she had she had to master to make my pups feel comfortable and she did great,,, she was the only change for them and they connected with her on the join up visit. I could not recommend her more highly.
Allie was amazing! Exactly what we were looking for in a house / pet sitter. So loving and caring with our two doodles, 15 and 3. So much attention to detail with the pups and the house in general. Communication was always great. Would definitely hire her again.
Teresa did an amazing job with my pups. She sent pictures of them and kept their schedule perfectly. They got plenty of love and were very content when we got home. My one dog has cushings disease and needs meds twice a day and it was no problem for her. I will definitely rebook with her again.

FAQs for House Sitting - Highpoint
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Highpoint on Rover is $46.62 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 1,580 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Highpoint. 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 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.
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 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 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.
