“Mari was awesome! We needed someone to stay late with our two puppies, and she was extremely flexible with our schedule, staying with them the entire night. Our dogs loved her and we appreciated having someone care for them like she did. I will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Jamie was great at communicating when she had questions and was very flexible with times and schedules. The dogs warmed right up to her and everything seemed great when I returned. Will definitely use again and refer others to her!”
“Tarah was absolutely wonderful with my two dogs! One of them has a sensitive stomach, and she took extra care of him. She kept me updated throughout the stay with photos and messages, which gave me great peace of mind. Both dogs looked happy, calm, and well cared for when I returned. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals and takes her responsibilities seriously. I highly recommend Tarah to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter!”
“Joel did an amazing job watching our dogs. He provided lots of updates and pictures. It was clear our dogs were loved and cared for. He even kept the house clean and washed the linens that he used. I would highly recommend Joel for any dog sitting you need.”
“Always reliable, responsible and responsive. We don’t ever need to worry about our Schatzi as she is in good hands! We have used Stephanie for well over a year for various services and it was always the best decision ever!”
“Conner did a great job with our dogs and cat. He was attentive to them, sent daily pictures and helped with other miscellaneous house tasks. He was great with communication and we will 100% ask for his help again!”
“Highly Recommend!! Rob was very professional and communicative and took great care of our two large dogs while we were out of town. Rob sent us daily pictures and updates and I could tell my dogs were happy and well cared for upon returning from my trip.”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and grew up caring for three dogs, two cats, chickens, goats, and bunnies. I currently have a 4-year-old cat of my own, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, cleaning up after pets, and following their normal routines. I’m patient, attentive, and will always treat your pet with the same love and care I give my own. I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for pets throughout the week. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention depending on your pet’s needs. I always want pets to feel safe and comfortable with me, especially when their owners are away. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine, feeding schedule, walking needs, and any special instructions you provide. I’m very attentive and patient, and I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of love, playtime, and care while respecting their individual personality and boundaries.
“Melissa was absolutely wonderful with our dogs! She was communicative, reliable, and kept us updated while we were away, which gave us so much peace of mind. Most importantly, she treated our boys with so much love and kindness, and it was clear they were well cared for and happy.”
“Audrey was absolutely fantastic with Tucker over the weekend! She kept us updated with sweet photos and messages, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Tucker was clearly well-cared for, happy, and tired out when we got back! We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will definitely be rebooking with Audrey in the future! 😊”
“Absolutely amazing! She sent us update photos everyday & our cat adored her so much! He snuggled her & was so happy. She was attentive & even got our mail for us; literally the best in every way! Only using her going forward!”
“Alexiah took great care of our dogs in our home! She was respectful of our space, responsible, and communicated well. She handled an unexpected situation calmly and contacted us right away. We'd definitely trust her to watch our dogs again!”
“We can't recommend Carolina enough. Leaving two dogs behind is always stressful, but she put us completely at ease with quick replies, adorable photos, and great daily updates. We came home to two happy pups and a house that was completely spotless. Can’t wait to book her again for our next stress free vacation.”
“Marianne was great. She watched our two energetic dogs for two weeks while we were on our honeymoon. We got frequent updates and always felt that they were in good hands. Would recommend and use Marianne again!”

Dorito loves Amanda! She is such a great sitter! This is my second sit with her and I will absolutely book her again! She always has a great attitude and updates me frequently. She even got Dorito a pup cup! All of her needs were met and I never had to worry about for him.
Mackenzie was absolutely wonderful! We needed someone to watch Bentley so we could attend church, and even though it was a last minute request, she graciously came through for us. We are so grateful for her kindness and willingness to help. She was incredibly sweet, patient, and attentive to Bentley’s needs. She took him for a walk, played with him, and made sure he was well cared for. Bentley absolutely loved her! It was also wonderful knowing that she has a Frenchie of her own, just like Bentley. It gave us extra comfort knowing she is familiar with the breed and understands their unique personalities and needs. Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Mackenzie has such a sweet personality, and we felt very comfortable leaving Bentley in her care. We will definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who genuinely cares about their pets! ❤️
Lex is the best! She is only the second person to watch my dogs and I couldn’t have felt more comfortable and confident that they were in the best hands with her. She’s genuinely just a very kind and caring person. My dogs were so at ease around her which also put me at ease. Thank you Lex for making my vacation stress-free!
Thank you so much for taking such great care of my baby!! She was so happy when I got home I knew that she was taken great care of! Thank you for taking care of my house as well! I came home to a clean house the way I left, which after traveling for work was a relief!
I feel incredibly fortunate to have found Haley on Rover. Over the years, many people have cared for my pet family, but Haley stands out far above anyone I’ve worked with. During the meet and greet, she took the time to genuinely listen and personally connect with each one of my six pets. She didn’t just follow my instructions for feeding, walking, and litter box care—she went above and beyond. Haley spent real, quality time with them, sent frequent photos, cleaned their bowls, and made sure the cat box area was spotless. I could tell how comfortable my pets were just by looking at the photos, and I was amazed by how quickly they responded to her. All of my pets come from difficult backgrounds and are cautious with new people, but Haley put them completely at ease. I recommend her without hesitation!
We have had Kaleigh watch our two German shepards several times now and she has been wonderful every time! She sends lots of proof of life pictures and follows house/pet directions really well. She is really sweet and communicates well. She has even recommended a friend who watched our dogs when she wasn’t available. We are so glad to have found Kaleigh for our pups!
Michael was wonderful to work with, from our initial meet-and-greet through departure. Luca appeared well-cared for and very calm when we returned home. Since we don't have a backyard, Michael made sure to walk Luca at appropriate times to stay out of the heat and successfully gave Luca his medicine and treats. Our house was clean and in good order when we returned home, which is so important to us! We'd definitely hire Michael again.
Berkley is an amazing dog sitter! She took incredible care of our pups and sent me constant pics and videos so I never had to wonder how they were doing. She was super patient with our highly anxious dog and even got him to trust her enough to walk him. She also left our house spotless. I would definitely use her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Higley is $43 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $67 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Higley 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 Higley 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 Higley 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.

- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 96% 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.
