“Jennifer was absolutely amazing! She sent several photos for the kids and I and over communicated everything! Teddy absolutely loved his time with Jennifer and was well taken care of. 🐾”
“Kaitlin did an outstanding job house and pet sitting for us. It was our first experience with Kaitlin. She was professional, responsible, and communicates well. She was on time and read through our instructions and did all that we asked. Our home was left neat and tidy, and our pets were worn out from all the play time they had with her. She paid attention to our cat who can be over looked or passed by because our golden loves to be the center of attention all day long. And that is much appreciated! She did a great job managing and loving on each of our pets individually. We will hire Kaitlin again.”
“Christina is the absolute best with our dogs! We have used her a few times now, and our dogs love her. We were a little hesitant about having someone come into our home to care for our dogs, but Christina made us and our dogs feel so comfortable from the very beginning. She is great with communicating, and always makes sure to send lots of photos and videos to let us know our fur babies are happy and well cared for. We will be using her as long as possible any time we need someone to care for our dogs”
About: Since I can remember, I've always been surrounded by animals. I not only grew up with them, but have taken care of and fostered animals from the SPCA. Parents and family joke that I have a gift when it comes to getting along with animals, and I've always been there to watch and care for animals of extensive breeds while family and friends are out of town! I'm currently attending school, so past 4:00pm and weekends work well for me! I have lots of free time during the summer to help families keep a steady mind on vacation when it comes to their beloved pets! I am excellent at following directions and specific orders given from owners, and will respect and perform any instructions given concerning pets. I care for pets exactly as necessary to create as little disruption and as much comfortability as possible in the home. However animals are cared for by owners, are how they will be cared for by me. Any schedule concerning food, walks, bedtime, and activities, will always be completed exactly how the owner intends.
“Thomas took great care of my cat. He provided lots of updates for me, entertainment for her, and was especially attuned to her needs. I will definitely be asking for his help in the future!”
“Tiffany was amazing with my girls! She is sweet, prompt, a great communicator and very easy to work with. I’m glad my dogs got to enjoy her company when I was gone!”
“Kaitlyn was just great. She provided plenty of updates and always communicating with me before arrival and through the stay. My boys loved having her and she not only took great care of them but of the home and I cannot thank her enough. Highly recommend!”
“Cheyanne always takes great care of our dogs! Our 1 yr old lab had emergency surgery a few days before she was scheduled to house sit, but she was flexible with us and offered to give meds, monitor the scar, and ensure activity restrictions. Highly recommend booking with Cheyanne!”

About: I've taken care of cats and dogs while growing up since I was 7. I learned how to feed, walk, bathe the pets I had. And learned more things about dogs when I had my dog Oreo in 2020. I'm working part-time at a clinic, as BT which is 3 to 6 hrs depending on days I'm scheduled. I'm doing this as a side gig. I'll guarantee to help and take care of your pets for you. Pet sitting at someone's house I'll be respectful and responsible, making sure your fur babies is in the best care on my watch.
“Thanh-Mai and her boyfriend Jimmy were great with our boy. He has separation anxiety and they warmed him up so well that our departure was as painless as possible. She provided plenty of updates, ensured he was well-exercised and loved all weekend & we appreciate her being flexible as our flight was delayed a bit.”
About: I have been trusted since childhood to watch over my neighbors' pets and have experience with two pit bulls and countless cats. I don't mind giving medicine, as my senior cat took some for years. I work full-time during the week, but am free all weekend to give your furry friend some love. I am generally active, so walks in the morning and evening are not an issue and I can easily integrate them into my daily routine. I can easily crate pets, love to take daily walks, and play for about an hour or two with my own pets, so I do not mind addressing the needs of your pet based on their energy level.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was about 10 years old. I’ve had dogs in my house since I was 10 and have taken care of puppies before as well. I’m currently unemployed and at home for the summer, so I have a lot of free time to devote to taking care of your babies! Any and all types of service I can do, from overnight stays to drop ins and check ups. I have experience taking care of untrained puppies and I can keep up with very energetic dogs. I can walk, feed and play with dogs or give them space as needed. I’m very respectful of animals and their owners’ wishes.
“Jace is the absolute best dog sitter in the Fresno area especially if you have a dog that needs a little extra attention, has a specific routine they need, or some detailed instructions that they need followed like our dog Sissy. When Jace came to meet the dogs they came prepared having read the instructions we shared via the app. They also came with questions and took careful notes to make sure they had a clear understanding of everything that the dogs would need. While we were away, Jace checked in regularly with photos and updates about what they were doing. They were proactive and asked about some of our dogs needs that weren't clarified in the instructions we left. Jace also quickly followed up when we had questions about how things were going. Jace was also an incredibly great guest in our home. They kept up with their own dishes and left our home as tidy as we left it. Jace is an absolute professional when it comes to pet care and you will not be disappointed. The level of thoughtfulness, consideration, and care for our animals was unparalleled and second to none. Its clear our dogs Barks and Sissy made a new friend in Jace and are likely looking forward to the next time they will spend with them! I would recommend Jace to anyone!”
“Chelsea was wonderful with my two dogs while we were away. She is very conscientious and the house was in perfect order when we returned. I would highly recommend Chelsea and would love to have her housesit for us again.”
“Wow! What a relief to have found Victoria! She is kind and sweet, loves animals and was so sweet to mine! I was able to go on a last minute trip with my family and relax knowing they were in good hands!”
“Dalene is our dogs’ fairy godmother! They get so excited when she comes to feed and play with them. She notices everything about their little personalities and quirks and they completely trust her. We are so lucky we found her!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Highway City
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Highway City on Rover is $45.51 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 516 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Highway City. 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 Highway City 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 Highway City 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 Highway City 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 Highway City. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
