“LeighAnn was amazing with our dogs. We have been looking for a dog sitter for awhile as I am pretty specific about how I want our dogs cared for and she did an amazing job! She sent daily updates and kept us up to date on any changes she had to her schedule. She also brought her dog Boone with her and he did great with our pups. Very sweet guy! We would HIGHLY recommend LeighAnn to anyone needing pet services and will absolutely be using her again.”
“Laura was great with our three girls. They had never been left before and she stayed at our house and took care of them. Was very pleased and will definitely use her again if the need should arise.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Emily was fantastic at this... I was a little worried being a first time house sitting... We had alot going on so once Emily showed up, things went so much better than I had imagined. She is great with our babies. Our babies loved her as well, which was very comforting. We will make sure Emily is available for next trio. Our pups, cats were all happy. My home looked exactly like I left it, maybe even better. Plus she sent me pics and updates throughout the whole process. Absolutely amazing. She is the perfect person to handle any situation. Emily, Thank you for a job well done!!! We appreciate you!!!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
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: Pet care schedule: Your baby will have 4 outside play sessions a day 6-7am 11-12pm 4-5pm 9-10pm Your baby will take 2 walks on leash to monitor pooping and to help burn out energy. 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: 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 animal 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 healthy 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’m very flexible and I aim to be accommodating to the people I serve. When doggie sitting, I enjoy sending parents daily images of their pups having fun, and I also enjoy sending pups home with a treat. I make sure I am available throughout the day to stay connected with pup parents, and to ensure pups are well cared for and attended to. Lastly, I am also experienced in caring for other animals such as birds, fish, hamsters etc, and I grew up raising and caring for farm animals as well. 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. Pups are released outside for potty breaks every 2-4 hours starting at 6am. Pups are given 3-4 play sessions outside in the fenced yard. Play time includes allowing them to play with toys, water (pool, sprinkler), and play among other pups. I typically will keep pups food and water filled, but will keep pups on a special feeding schedule at the request of the parent. I also provide pups with treats through out the day as positive reinforcement but will omit at the parents request. Pups are allowed to roam the house but pups who are not potty trained are crated at bedtime.

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 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.
“Gisselle was AMAZING! We did a meet and greet prior - she was patient and answered all of our questions. Our boy Ace loved her off the bat! Ace was attacked at boarding a couple months back and this was our first time using a house pet sitter and we were nervous. However, we had the best experience. Her communication was consistent - sending texts, photos, and videos of our boy with updates. She was extremely respectful of our home and it was spotless when I arrived home - she even left the light on so it wouldn't be dark! She was amazing and I would recommend her a million times over! We will definitely use her again for house sittings and drop-ins as needed. Gisselle is your girl for all the house sitting needs!!”

My family dog had pups 9 to be exact I cared for each and every one of them until I found them perfect homes. I’m currently fostering 2.

FAQs for House Sitting - Hightower
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 393 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.

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.
