“Shanley took care of my three month old basset hound puppy, and 1 1/2 year-old kitty and did an excellent job! I would highly recommend her to anyone that is looking for somebody that loves and cares for animals! I definitely will be contacting Shanley again! Tricia ❤️❤️”
“Marimar did a wonderful job taking care of our three animals and our home while we took a vacation. She communicated well throughout and the pups and kitty all loved her. I would absolutely recommend Marimar’s pet sitting services!”
“Tahlia was great! Our house was left in perfect condition and our dog was very happy to have company while we were away. She was also very flexible when our vacation had to be postponed a day.”
“This was the first time my husband and I have left our fur babies with anyone but a family member or friend, and we are so pleased with our experience! Alanna was kind and professional from the very start. She alleviated any concerns and answered any questions we had for her. She not only came over once prior to our booking, but twice, to ensure the dogs remembered her and were comfortable. Aside from the care she took on our animals, she respected our home while she stayed there with them! It was as clean, or cleaner, than how we left it and we got daily updates and pics and more if requested. We look forward to booking Alanna again for any future dog sitting!”
“I need some extra stars! :-) I was forced to scramble to seek help when my previously engaged dog sitter flaked just days before I was due to leave on a week-long vacation, so, between the stress of needing a last-minute replacement and having never left my high maintenance purse pooch or my home in the care of a "stranger" before, I had some serious anxiety. I'm thrilled to report that my fears were alleviated, and I'm SO grateful to have connected with Michael! My generally shy beastie ran right up to him when he arrived for our meet and greet, and she seemed completely at ease with him from the start. Michael was very sweet and calm, communicative, prompt, reliable, attentive to details and very accommodating of Noel's particular needs. We loved the daily photos and updates, and he took great care of the house as well. 2 thumbs and 2 paws up for a fantastic experience! His great reviews are well deserved, and I highly recommend and will definitely call on Michael again for future pup-sitting occasions! Thank you, Michael!”
“Tamantha, did a great job with house-sitting my dogs. The dogs were happy for us to be home and didn't pick up any behaviors while we were gone. No issues, no drama. I would totally hire Tamantha again.”
“Shea is Fantastic!!! She's on time, reliable, and easy to talk to! I appreciate the pictures and communication when on the road. Much appreciated and Highly recommended!”
“I had a great first experience using Dorianne as a house/dog sitter. It was my first time being apart from Beans and she made the experience stress free! She was responsive, respectful of my house and instructions and Beans loved her! Will definitely be using her in the future!”
“Christina did a great job with our pups. One of our dogs can be overly anxious and a handful, but when we arrived home everyone was calm. They have maintained a great disposition since we’ve been home. We will definitely reach out again!”
About: My name is Zoë and I have pet sit both cats and dogs in the past and am willing to learn how to care for other animals too. I prefer house sitting and enjoy getting to know the animals better. My past experiences include a shar-pei, two ragdoll cats, chihuahuas, and retrievers. I am willing to sit multiple animals and provide care and affection. I will take photos and send them if requested. Play time and brushing are enjoyable for me. I will also continue training if left instructions and will reward appropriately. For both your high maintenance and low maintenance pets will receive the care that they deserve. I am flexible when it comes to my schedule and believe the most important thing is the health and welfare of your pets. I have an open schedule at the moment ready to take care of any animal needs. Please let me know if you’re interested. Thank you! I do not board animals. I prefer housesitting with animals so they don’t become stressed in a new environment. It helps build trust between Me and the pet(s). I’ll clean litter boxes daily, walk dogs consistently. Brush animals as requested. Feed on a schedule.
“I was ready to give up on Rover after many failed attempts to secure a sitter but am so glad I found Grace! She was very friendly and communicative. Immediately upon meeting I could tell my dog and home would be in good hands. I am confident my boy got plenty of love from Grace while I was gone and I will definitely be having her return!”
“Roberta was perfect for our highly energetic Weimaraner. I knew Andy loved her, because when I got home, instead of giving me all his wild, I'm happy your home attention, he was sharing his time with us and Roberta. She also had the upper hand over him, which is also so important for Andy. Thank you Roberta!!!”
“This was our first experience using Roover and we weren't sure what to expect but Nathan and his lovely lady Cora put our worries to rest. We got to do a meet and greet with them and our family pack (we have 5 dogs and a cat) before booking. Since we have so many fur babies I know it might be a lot for some people but not these two. They cared for our animals like they were their own...all of them! I can't tell you how sweet they both were and loving to our pack. They stayed the weekend in our home and even took good care of the house. We'll be using them from here on out, we appreciate everything they did with daily notifications and even pictures while we were away. It's hard to leave your fur babies but knowing they are looked after and cared for by Nathan and Cora makes your heart feel at ease. Thank you both!”
“Rylie was a great dog sitter, would definitely book her again in the future! I had a lot of anxiety leaving my dog as I haven’t traveled without him in over a year and she took very good care of him while I was gone!”
“Molly just cared for my elderly boxer girl for the third time. Grace was super glad to see me when I came home, but after giving her dinner and a little walk, Grace, for several hours kept looking out for Molly .... So glad they are bonded. It's hard to leave my doggie, but I know that with Molly here, Grace will be just fine. And Molly gives me the reassurance I need while I am away that she is.”

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Celestina! She has been taking care of my boys for the past year, and I trust her completely with them. One of my dogs, Shadow, is very fearful of people and doesn’t trust or warm up to people easily, so the fact that he is comfortable with her says everything about how patient, gentle, and caring she is with animals. She stays at my home with them overnight and truly treats them like they’re her own. She sends me updates throughout the day, so I always know how they’re doing, and I never have to worry about them while I’m away. Finding someone I can trust not only in my home, but with two dogs who mean the world to me—especially one who requires a little extra patience—is priceless. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and dependable pet sitter! ❤️🐾
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!
Audrey was fantastic with Dude! She did day sits for us on June 3rd and 4th, plus an overnight stay on June 6th. From start to finish, she provided excellent communication with regular updates and adorable photos, which made me feel completely at ease while I was away. She’s not only great at playing with Dude and keeping him happy, but she’s also really thoughtful — always mindful of the heat and making sure he was comfortable and safe. Audrey created such a caring, worry-free environment for both Dude and me. I never had a single concern. I would happily book with Audrey again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving sitter. Thank you so much, Audrey! 🐾
Lasey did a great job watching our dogs while we were out of town. One of our dogs is a very nervous rescue and usually takes a long time to warm up to people, but she made him feel comfortable and safe surprisingly quickly. It gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing they were well cared for while we were away. We’d definitely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a patient, reliable dog sitter.
Shanley took such wonderful care of my little Bodhi while we were away. She was incredibly kind, attentive, and truly treated him with so much love and care. I especially appreciated all the photo updates she sent, which gave me so much peace of mind and made me smile. You can tell she genuinely cares about the animals she watches. I’m so grateful for her and would absolutely trust her with Bodhi again. ❤️
We are a repeat client and have had Ambre care for our pets and house several times. I have a rescue dog that is high anxiety and reactive and she likes Ambre, but more importantly Ambre understands her needs and personality. I also have 2 parrots (macaw and white bellied caique) that Ambre handles with understanding. She always leaves the house clean, lights on, and her towels all washed! I really appreciate her, her care for the animals, and that she always makes it easy to come home to a clean home.
Julia was fantastic with Dude! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Julia was an absolute pleasure to work with for our recent booking. She was incredibly friendly and attentive from the very start. She kept me updated throughout the stay with wonderful photos and messages that really put my mind at ease. It was clear she genuinely cared for Dude and gave him plenty of love and attention. She did an amazing job watching my buddy — he came home happy, healthy, and well-exercised. I would absolutely recommend Julia to anyone and would book her again for Dude in a heartbeat. She’s a true professional and a dog lover through and through! Thank you, Julia! 🐶

FAQs for House Sitting - Higley
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Higley on Rover is $43.29 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 4,074 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Higley. 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 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 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.

- 97% 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.
