“Our pet crew loved Brandy! She sent updates with pictures everyday, and the dogs and cats looked happy and well cared for. We felt comfortable that they were good hands!”
“Alexis was the best! We would totally recommend and can’t wait to use her again. She was so communicative and really went above and beyond. She sent updates, followed the instructions we left, and even washed and remade the bed before leaving. Brisket loved the snuggles and daily walks.”
“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!”
“Meleah was amazing!!!! I needed help with Daisy super last minute. She was more than happy to help. Daisy was in a heat cycle so she did diaper changes as well as keeping company. So happy i found her!!!! Will definitely book again!!!”
“Brie did an awesome job. She was very flexible in scheduling, coming over to meet the pups and go over instructions. She sent pics of the pups and all of pups seemed to like her very much!”
“Piper was prompt and dependable for her first time with our dog. Sierra is often a little nervous with unfamiliar people but seemed to take to Piper right away! We will definitely use Piper again.”
“Erika was a wonderful pet sitter. She sent me lots of updates of my dog and she left my house in perfect condition. She followed all my instructions and took great care of my girl Lily.”
“Fatima took amazing care of our animals and home while we were away for the weekend. I have a young herding mix who requires significant stimulation and Fatima took her on regular walks and played with the in the backyard. I also received regular updates of meals and other activities. Can't recommend her enough for peace of mind while traveling.”
“Zair came to our house for 3 nights to care for our dog, Laney. Laney is fearful of strangers but I could tell from photos sent that she was calm and comfortable. I really appreciated that.”
“Alexis is fantastic! She was superior at communicating and sending photos. I was comfortable the entire time she was with our pups. We were in the middle of a move and it was the day after Christmas and she handled the entire 3 day sitting like a pro despite the boxes, minimal furniture and rainy weather. You are lucky if you can get her services (we will miss them)!!”
“Oh, where do I even begin? Raina sitter showered Benji with so much love and attention! They made sure to follow all of Benji's special needs. They even took the time to learn about his quirks and preferences to make him feel comfortable. It was clear that they genuinely cared for Benji like their own furry family member. They truly went above and beyond to ensure his happiness and well-being. Benji couldn't have asked for a better caregiver! ?❤️?”
“Nate is a fabulous house & dogsitter. This was our first time leaving our 5-year-old 50 lb. lab mix rescue with anyone after having adopted her a year ago, and Nate was a perfect fit~~ professional and timely in all communications, relaxed yet confident in his manner, enjoyable to meet and converse with, and just plain kind and responsible. Nate stayed with our pup for a week, and we are so happy that we found him and he accepted our invitation. With confidence he has our wholehearted recommendation!”
“Rebekah did a wonderful job caring for our dogs. We had some caterpillars show up unexpectedly and she was able to take care of getting them set up, with no problems. Thanks again Rebekah!”
“Shelby always does a great job with our small, anxious dog. She does great with keeping him on his normal routine, meds, feedings, and playtime. We love knowing our dog is in good hands when out of town :)”
“Laura is amazing! She loves my pets as much as I do and leaves my home better than I left it! She is thoughtful and sends daily pictures. She also communicates when she has a question or concern and is always keeping me in the loop. I highly recommend Laura!”
“Diana is so kind and generous! We have two animals and she came over twice to make sure she understood how to take care of them. Each time, she was a complete delight and also she kept me updated with updates on how my fur babies were doing. I couldn’t recommend her enough. She will be our go-to sitter from now on”
“Sonjia is a very kind and compassionate person, you can sense that through her messages alone. My dog took some time to warm up to her but she was patient, communicative and friendly. Would book again! Thank you.”
About: I have been an animal lover, and owner, my whole life as well as a volunteer when possible over the last 20 years. I have patience and a genuine love for animals, their safety and happiness. I take my reputation very seriously. I work for myself as a Newborn Care Specialist and Sleep Trainer. So I make my own schedule and therefore have flexibility to incorporate pet care into my schedule. I will always respect your home and your animals. I'm there to provide a service and I take pride in the work that I do. I will follow instructions/directions, communicate and be there for your pet as much or as little as they need/want me.
About: I’ve dedicated my life to caring for animals with the same love and attention we give to family. With years of hands-on experience, I’ve cared for pets of all ages and needs—from puppies and kittens to senior pets requiring special attention. I have also rescued and rehabilitated dogs and cats, ensuring they received the care, grooming, and affection needed to thrive before finding their forever homes. I’m currently available throughout the week and offer flexible scheduling to meet your pet’s needs. Beginning August 22, I’ll be attending college, so there will be certain days and times when I have classes. Outside of my class schedule, I’m committed to providing dependable care and will communicate my availability clearly to ensure we find a schedule that works well for you and your pet. Whether you need drop-in visits, walks, overnight care, or weekend services, I’ll do my best to accommodate your needs. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I provide a clean, loving, and family-oriented environment where pets receive plenty of attention and care. My home includes my 3-year-old daughter, 7-month-old son, one friendly small dog, and three cats, so I ask that any pets staying with us are comfortable around children and other animals. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and routines, and I treat every pet as if they were part of my own family.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - North Highlands
Ashley was wonderful! She sent updates 2x a day. We were so lucky to find someone that our all 3 of our girls loved on immediately. She made us feel comfortable, and we trusted her to watch our girls and our home while we were away. She lift our house cleaner than we left it!! We will definitely be using Ashley again.
It was our first time leaving our cat for an extended trip, so naturally, I was super anxious! To ease into it, we had Shelby stay for a trial night before our vacation, and we could instantly see how much our cat loved her. Shelby was remarkably patient with us from day one. I left detailed lists, and she followed our instructions. Her communication was top-tier—sending frequent updates and pictures that truly put my mind at ease as a pet parent. On top of that, she kept our home spotless and made sure our cat was well-fed, played with, and showered with affection. Being far away from a pet is never easy, but knowing Shelby was caring for our cat with the same love and attention we would give made all the difference. Thank you, Shelby, for everything! We appreciate you so much.
Cheryl was great. She communicated with me the entire time and provided a bunch of pictures to make me feel better about leaving them. She was very kind and understanding of my dogs individual needs and treated them amazingly well. I would use Cheryl again without a doubt.
Dylan was great with our two dogs and cat, even providing extra help since one of our dogs was still recovering from a recent surgery. He was very respectful of our home and provided frequent, thoughtful and often humorous updates about all our pets! Would highly recommend Dylan to anyone as he is a true animal lover!
This was our first time booking with Piper. She took very good care of our Standard Poodle Bundles for a quick afternoon sitting at our home. She was prompt, punctual, easy to communicate with, friendly, and respectful of our home. Bundles took to her very well and became fast friends. We’d definitely choose her again for future sittings. Thank you for the Baklava. It was awesome!
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 for House Sitting in North Highlands on Rover is $49.95 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 2,715 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 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.

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.
