“I can't say enough good things about our recent experience with Johnna pet/house sitting for us. Johnna took the time to meet us first to make sure it would be a good fit. Our dog is a senior and Johnna was so kind and considerate of all of his needs. Her little dog Bonnie is so adorable and I think having her here made Dexter feel even more comfortable. She sent us daily updates and pictures to let us know how he was doing. She left the house spotless and even watered our outdoor plants! It was by far the best experience I have had with a pet sitter. I have already reserved another pet sitting!”

About: I’ve been around pets/animals my whole life, from having hamsters and birds when I was child to having dogs and cats!! I have experience from taking care of 40 pound English bulldogs to 160 pound Great Danes!! I house sit for my sister and her husband all the time and they have two pugs and a golden lab!! The oldest pug needed diabetics shots after every meal and I was doing that for years and years while I house sat or just checked in when there wasn’t anyone home!! From walking, feeding, bathing, giving medication including shots!! It’s not just dogs that I love I also love cats!! I have two of my own which one is 15 years old who was surrendered by his owners because they were getting older and couldn’t take care of him since he needs alot of fur maintenance and grooming!! I work full time but I work early and get off early so that leaves me the rest of the day to care for any fur babies that need some company!! I will treat your fur babies like they are my own and will protect, treat them with the upmost respect and love that they deserve!!

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had an amazing experience with our pet sitter! Her communication was outstanding from start to finish. She always responded promptly, kept us updated with pictures, and checked in whenever she had a question or wanted to clarify something. We really appreciated her willingness to ask rather than make assumptions—it showed how much she cared about providing the best care possible. She was incredibly friendly, professional, and helpful, and it was clear that she genuinely loves animals. Our pets absolutely adored her, and we could tell from the photos and updates that they were happy, comfortable, and receiving lots of attention while we were away. Knowing our furry family members were in such caring and capable hands gave us tremendous peace of mind. We are so grateful for the excellent care she provided and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, communicative, and compassionate pet sitter. We would happily book with her again! ❤️🐾”

She did a great job with a mix of our higher energy large dog and chill cats. She was super kind and responsive during her stay, and we’ve already booked her again for another weekend - would totally recommend her for watching dogs and cats ! :)”

About: With an energetic pup of my own, I am no stranger to the needs of fur babies. Consistency is key when it comes to pet care and training. I will make sure your pup(s) get plenty of exercise with a walk around your local neighborhood. Each pet is unique and I will be certain to cater to your individual pet’s needs. But no matter what, I will be certain that each pet gets the same loving care as if they were one of my own. I am currently very flexible in my schedule so I can offer walks or drop ins for potty breaks and daily enrichment or house sitting for more comprehensive care for your pet when you’re away! I would love to check on your fur baby if you're busy so they don't get lonely! Personally, I have my own rambunctious pup named Lila who loves treats, walks, and attention. I would treat your dog like my own in care and affection!

We have a pretty lengthy list of ways we like to make sure our dogs care is handled, as well as the use of our home, and Malarie has followed everything, and gone above and beyond keeping our home clean and our pup happy. We already have her booked for the future for several stays and definitely want to continue using her! Definitely recommend her.”

About: As the only single, childless work-from-home girlie in the family, I've been the go-to house sitter for all my relatives in the area for years now. I've cared for dogs, cats, and even a pigeon. I had a lot of pets growing up, and I hope to have some of my own in the future. Until then, I plan to quell the overwhelming urge to adopt every puppy I see by taking care of other people's pets :) I have a full time, fully-remote job, and I usually work from around 8am-4pm. However, as you might expect, the work is very flexible, so I can take breaks to walk the pups and give them food/attention as needed with no problems. My current living space isn't set up for additional animals, but I'm happy to come to you! I have a car, so I won't have any issues getting getting there.

All three boys looked so content and happy all week. Brandie was very communicative and always responded immediately. She did everything we requested and more. Went above and beyond in taking care of the house and our boys. We are so grateful to Brandie and cannot recommend her enough. She will absolutely be sitting for us again. We cannot wait to have her back and neither can Neil, Migi, & Buster! ❤️”

About: I'm a recent UC Davis Animal Science graduate and aspiring veterinarian with years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all ages, breeds, personalities, and medical histories. My background spans several areas of veterinary medicine—I've had hands-on clinical experience in oncology, emergency medicine, and surgery at the UC Davis Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital, alongside extensive involvement in community veterinary clinics, student-run programs, and animal shelters. Years of working directly with animals across a variety of settings have given me invaluable firsthand insight into their behavior and body language, including how to recognize signs of stress, respect boundaries, and adjust my approach to each animal's comfort level. Beyond the scrubs and textbooks, I'm simply someone who loves meeting new pets, learning their personalities, and finding ways make their days a little brighter until their favorite person returns. If I'm not working with animals, there's a good chance I'm looking for them elsewhere—usually birdwatching, hiking, or wandering around the Sacramento Zoo with a pair of binoculars! My current schedule is quite flexible, allowing me to accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits throughout the week and on weekends. I know that life doesn't always go according to plan, so I'm also happy to help with last-minute bookings, unexpected schedule changes, or urgent pet-care needs whenever possible. Whether you need a regular helping hand or someone to step in on short notice, I'd love to help! My veterinary and animal-handling experience has taught me the importance of consistency, attentiveness, and recognizing even subtle changes in an animal's behavior or comfort level. When caring for pets in their own homes, I prioritize maintaining their familiar routines, following instructions carefully, and minimizing unnecessary stress, and entering every home with respect and care. I have reliable transportation and can accommodate individualized exercise and enrichment needs, from leisurely walks to more active outings with prior approval. I take safety seriously and will always consider each pet's health, temperament, and physical abilities before planning activities. I'll also keep you informed with regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is receiving attentive, dependable care.

About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life. I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember because of the unconditional love, joy, and companionship they bring into our lives. I’ve also had cats, and to me, they’re all family—not just pets. ❤️🐾 Now that my children are grown and I no longer have pets of my own, caring for other people’s beloved fur babies has become something I truly enjoy. I give each dog my full attention, patience, affection, and TLC. Whether they’re young, senior, shy, recovering, or a show dog, I care for each one according to their individual needs and personality. I also administer pills if needed as well. When your dog stays with me, I want them to feel safe, comfortable, happy, and loved—just like they’re at home. My goal is for you to have complete peace of mind knowing your fur baby is being cared for as one of my own. I’m a mature, honest, trustworthy, and reliable pet sitter. I don’t smoke, drink, or have visitors. I’m also a homeowner so I’ll take good care of you house n pets just as I would with mine. I also take in the mail, making sure the pool man/gardener come in time, and taking garbage out. I leave minimal footprint at your house because i like to leave the place as clean or cleaner than when i left it. I provide services to the following areas: Roseville, Fair Oaks, Folsom, and El Dorado Hills. I’m happy to provide excellent references from pet parents who have trusted me with their beloved companions. I do take care of small dogs (1:1 only!) at my house (a 1bd/1ba condo) too if you like in my home dog sitting services. Most of my customers are repeated customers or from words of mouth which I truly appreciated. Please make any inquiries about my service or if you have any questions. I look forward to hearing from you I’m retired so i have a lot of time for dogs/cats sitting…:). I’m available 7 days/week. This is the thing that I enjoy doing most. This also allows me to get my pet fix…lol..:). I really enjoy taking care of pets (dogs or cats) as though they’re my own whether at my house ( I live in a condo and we have grassy areas throughout the complex) or at your house. My goal is have them feel like I’m just another family member. I feed, play, and walk with them. I also check mail, bring packages in, and water the plants at your home.

Heather is a wonderful pet sitter! We were nervous to leave our dog and bunny for a two week trip as we had never left them for so long before. Heather took great care of both of them and made us feel at ease enough to actually enjoy our vacation! She even came through for us (and the pets) when we encountered numerous flight delays and cancellations on the way home. She was able to extend her visit and made sure they were looked after until we finally made it home. We’re so thankful for her help and will be booking with her again!

Drew was phenomenal with Meeko and Belle. I was traveling abroad for two weeks, and it was such a blessing to find someone who can genuinely care for blind pets—especially an elderly one with a younger, mischievous sibling. Drew was incredibly responsive, sent regular updates, and took amazing care of both the pets and the house. Belle is blind, senior, and sometimes experiences separation anxiety, but Drew was patient, gentle, and attentive with her. Meeko is a curious troublemaker, and Drew kept him stimulated while keeping the “trouble” under control. I’d 100% recommend Drew to anyone. I’ve already told my coworkers and friends—he’s truly exceptional.

FAQs for House Sitting - North Highlands

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in North Highlands is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $84 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.

As of October 2026, there are 2,674 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across North Highlands. 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 North Highlands 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 North Highlands 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 North Highlands 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 , 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 .

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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in North Highlands. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
