Andrew was a great sitter to our dog, Bear! We were uneasy leaving him at his ripe old age, and we immediately felt comfortable with the level of care he was getting. We got updates, pics, and Andrew was great at communicating with us. We will definitely being using this super host again, thank you, Andrew!

Abby has done it again! She provided outstanding care for our dogs and cats while we were away for 5 days. Just like before, we returned to happy pets and a spotless home. It’s clear Abby is a natural with animals and she treats them like her own. She’s an excellent communicator and sends regular pictures, videos and update’s. We feel extremely fortunate to have found such a reliable, caring pet sitter. Can’t recommend Abby enough!

Samuel was the best! He took such good care of my babies. He was respectful, neat and took time to get to know each of them. No doubt I will be reaching out to him again in the future. Probably within the month I totally trust him with my babies. I know you’ll love him too.

Katie was fantastic!!! She was great with our dog Brady and he just loved her! She took him on walks every day and kept us updated (with pictures) while we were on our vacation... She looked after things at the house and left it as if she'd never been here! We've been home for a day now and Brady keeps looking for her to come back... We would recommend Katie highly to anyone looking for a house or dog sitter, or both... We will definitely plan to use her again and I'm sure that Brady can't wait!! 5 stars and A+++

About: I have experience with training puppies, and I’ve watched dogs from Dachshunds to Great Danes! I am a huge dog lover, and I’d love to spend time with yours while I miss mine back home! I am a student, so I will be gone for hours long periods throughout the day. However, this has not been an issue in the past! I follow every direction from the client, as they know their dog’s routine best. I love to spend personal time with the pets too, whether lounging on the couch or going for a walk!

Stella did an amazing job taking care of our dogs and we highly recommend you book with her! We recently went out of town and booked Stella to watch our dogs while we were away. She went above and beyond! She was able to handle our two huge dogs perfectly fine with no problem at all. She sent us picture updates each day while we were away, and even followed all of our very detailed instructions we left for our dogs. If you need someone who will do a great job, we highly recommend you book with Stella!

Cate was fantastic! She house/dog sat for us over Thanksgiving. She was very responsive when I first contacted her. We had a nice get-to-know meeting where she was extremely patient with me as I explained all of the details of our situation and introduced her to our dog. She met us early the day we were leaving for the airport to make the transition smooth. She sent pictures and updates while we were gone. We came back to a healthy, happy dog and a clean house. I would highly recommend Cate. She was kind, professional and trustworthy.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I truly enjoy. I have years of experience helping friends, family, and neighbors with dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and energy levels. Whether your pet loves adventures, long walks, or simply curling up on the couch, I'm happy to match their routine. My goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, safe, and loved while giving owners confidence that their furry family member is in great hands. I'll treat your pet like one of my own and always provide regular updates and photos. I work full-time during the week, which makes pet sitting a perfect way to spend my evenings and weekends doing something I love. I'm available for morning, evening, and weekend visits, walks, and overnight care, and I'll always make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and love. I do my best to be flexible and will communicate clearly about my availability so you know exactly what to expect. I provide a calm, safe, and loving environment where pets can feel comfortable and relaxed. I follow each pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and bedtime routines. I make sure pets always have fresh water, plenty of attention, and a secure environment. I'll also send regular photo updates so you always know how your furry family member is doing.

Michele was absolutely wonderful with our dog while we were out of town. She is reliable, communicative, and shows so much empathy and compassion for animals. Prior to pet sitting, Michele came over to meet our dog and get to know her behaviors and comforts, and to make sure she was familiar to her leading up to the time we would be gone. While we were away we received frequent and detailed updates and pictures, and you could hear the pure joy in her messages. Michele makes it her mission to make sure both the animal and the owners have maximum peace of mind. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and would certainly book her again! If you’re looking for someone to give your pet the royal treatment, she’s your gal!

FAQs for House Sitting - Hightsville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Hightsville on Rover is $28.86 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 771 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hightsville. 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 Hightsville 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 Hightsville 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 Hightsville 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 Hightsville. On Rover:

  • 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% can help with daily exercise

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.
