“I am so happy to have found Leigh Ann to take care of our babies while we were on vacation. She was great to work around our schedule, sent photos and kept in touch about how they were doing. I especially appreciate the Meet n' Greet before we left. This was the first time for a non-family member sitter and she immediately set my nerves at ease. Highly recommend! Thanks, Leigh Ann!!!”
“Karen was awesome! She took such incredible care of our Dog, and the house looked better than we left it. It’s such a relief to find someone so reliable. We would certainly ask her to come back.”
“Laura was fantastic with our animals. They loved her, they did not appear to be stressed at all like they were after leaving them at a facility kennel type environment. She was great, our residence was watched over and our pets were safe in their own environment. Denali and Remington seem to miss her after she had left. Great job Laura, you deserve more than 5 stars but that’s all there is. I would definitely recommend her to everyone.”
“Brodie took to Karissa from the very first moment. She was very professional and I knew he'd be in good hands. She sent a photo update every day so I could see he was doing well. It was nice to come home to a clean house as I left it and a well-kept-for dog who got to snuggle.”
“Megan was an excellent sitter. I need help last minute because I had to be in the hospital during the storm for 48 hours straight. Megan made sure my dogs were well cared for with meals, walks, and lots of love/attention. One of my dogs also needed medication and she was able to provide. Would love to have her back!”
“My experience… actually Jovie’s experience as well :-) with Adelle was phenomenal. Adelle’s professionalism, care for Jovie and my house was exceptional. I would recommend Adelle without hesitation to everyone who is looking for a caring and knowledgeable sitter for their pets. Thank you!!”
About: I have taken care of my own dogs since I was born and have made sure to take care of them well. I have experience and knowledge on most dogs, but I would like to expand that knowledge. This is my first time working with dogs that are not my own. I can do Monday through Friday, from 8:00 am up to 2:00 pm. If I can not scheduled, I am at a family event for the time being. I prefer inside dogs over outside dogs I have a fenced porch, an un-fenced yard, and a friendly Pit Bull who will be a nice companion for your pet. If you don't trust my pit bull I can put him in another room and lock it to help with you comfort
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was 10 years old. I have also taken care of guinea pigs, small birds and fish. I have always been an animal lover and have a passion for them. I treat them like my own children. I even have a two dogs and a cat of my own. I believe in treating them with gentleness, kindness and compassion. I am currently a homemaker of an older child. I am available everyday to care for your pets. I can stop by and do potty breaks, walks, playtime etc. I can also spend more time with them to give them company and affection. House sitting with your fur babies is also an option. My husband can take care of the needs at home while I care for your pets. I can offer playtime, medication administration if needed, walks, potty breaks, attention etc. plus any other needs that are special to your fur babies. I can also crate your pet if need be. I pride myself on the safety and protection of all fur babies.
“Jordyn was wonderful with our very spoiled pets. She updated us often with photos and took great care of all three of them. Knowing they were safe and taken care took a huge burden off during a stressful travel. Highly recommend!”
“We were so happy with Haidyn and will certainly be using her again! She was quick to reply and easy to coordinate with, reliable and kind. She house sat our energetic foster dog as well as our many cats while we were out of the country and we came home to happy animals and a clean home! She was very knowledgeable about animals and did her research on our dog's needs prior to meeting. We greatly appreciated her passion and love for animals, knowing ours were being so well taken care of while we were gone.”
“Cathy was an amazing house/dog sitter! She was extremely responsive, sent so many pictures and spent so much time with our fur baby. She left our home in great condition and was helpful with anything we asked! We will definitely be using her again and would recommend her services.”
“Stacy took great care of my fur baby! She sent me daily updates and pictures of him, and made sure to spend so much time giving him attention. This was my first time leaving Bentley, and I felt so comfortable leaving him in such great hands! She even took him on extra walks, and I couldn’t be more grateful :)”
About: I have helped my mother in the past babysitting and taking care of dogs so I am sure I have the ability to do the same on my own. I am currently not working; taking a little break so I have all the time in the world to help out you and your pets! Making sure they feel comfortable and safe with me. Take them on many walks, play with their toys, and lots of head rubs and head pats!
“Lesly was great!! She agreed to watch Shelby on short notice and kept her busy all day. Shelby was completely worn out by the end of the day and happy as can be. Thanks Lesly, we really appreciate it.”

Pets are free to roam my home and yard. Pets are allowed on furniture and bed Pets are allowed to sleep where they are most comfortable If you are requesting a meet and greet, please understand meet and greets must take place at my residence where your baby is being kept, because I must remain present for pets I am sitting ❤️. Pet owners will receive picture or video updates about their fur baby a minimum of twice a day unless there is a special request. A little about me: Animal care runs deeply in my family. I come from generations of farmers and veterinary professionals, including a great uncle whose pioneering contributions to veterinary medicine were honored by Tuskegee Institute. I was taught from an early age to respect, understand, and care for animals, and I devoted six years to volunteering in a veterinary clinic, where I gained valuable practical experience. I enjoy spoiling and treating my fur babies like my own children (because they are lol). I lived on a farm for most of my life and have cared for animals my entire life. I own a mini poodle, named Zoe, who loves playing with other dogs. Zoe and I enjoy dog parks, doggie pools, visiting doggie bakeries to try new treats, playing catch and tug of war, doggie walks, play dates with other dogs, and cuddle time while watching a great movie. My dog is my best friend. Zoe’s health and happiness is important to me, and it is equally important to me to ensure your fur baby is cared for with the same quality of time, effort and love. I believe in being flexible and accommodating for the familes i serve. When caring for your pet, I provide daily updates (photo/video) and stay in close communication so parents can feel comfortable and connected while they are away. When available, i also enjoy sending pups home with special treats. In my care, your pup will enjoy daily walks, up to 4 outdoor play sessions a day, water play (with doggie sprinkler or doggie pool), access to roam a large fenced back yard, the company and friendship of other dogs, daily treats and snacks (at the approval of the owner), doggie day care shows on a movie projector, and all the cuddles and love they need while you’re away. I’m looking forward to meeting and caring for your fur baby ❤️. I work from home! In addition, i have a ring camera in my home that allow me to monitor pet activity 24/7. I believe in keeping pets safe, comfortable and well entertained. As mentioned, fur babies are provided potty breaks every 2-4 hours starting at 6am. Pups are given 3-4 play sessions outside in the fenced yard. Pets are free fed or fed on a schedule at the parent's request. Pets who do not get along with other pets are separated to ensure a safe environment. Pets who are not potty trained are encouraged to arrive with wraps or diapers to help maintain a safe and clean environment. Pet parents are asked to communicate either their baby have any history of aggression, toy possession, or anxiety so that I can ensure the comfort and safety of all pets.
About: I’ve always had a deep love and passion for animals and their overall well being. I have been the designated pet sitter and care taker for my family and friends for over 10 years. I enjoy all breeds of dogs and especially enjoy high energy dogs that love to play. When your pets are with me you can trust they will have a scheduled day with however many walks and meals they require. I have a designated play room for pets and will only crate them upon your requests. I currently work from home part time and have more then enough free time to keep your loved ones entertained and comfy. I take all my dogs on morning and afternoon walks during the winter I try to plan accordingly with the weather. You can trust your pet will be safe as I have a designated play area away from anything that could harm them or objects they should chew on. If you prefer I come to your house I ensure the pet is safe by following your care guidelines. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work from home several days a week and have a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide plenty of attention, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and cuddle time throughout the day. I keep a consistent routine to help pets feel comfortable, safe, and at home. I send regular photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a large, fully fenced backyard for supervised play, a designated indoor play area, and a nearby dog park for extra exercise if approved by you. My home is clean, pet friendly, and free of hazards. I carefully follow each pet’s feeding schedule, medication instructions, and daily routine. I only accept pets that are a good fit for my home and will always let you know if I have any questions or concerns during their stay.
“Anna was reliable, attentive and genuinely affectionate with my cats. I returned home to happy cats and a well-cared-for house. I would not hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. It gave me tremendous peace of mind knowing they were in such capable and caring hands.”
“This was our first time using Rover and Gisselle was great! We really appreciated the photos and videos she sent while we were gone as this was our first time leaving our puppy and cat with someone for a long time. Will be using her again!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 388 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hightower. 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 Hightower 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 Hightower 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 Hightower 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 Hightower. On Rover:

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.
