About: I have had and loved animals since I was a kid, and even more so as a responsible adult. We have a loud, rambunctious 3 year old hound/border collie mix in our home who loves other dogs and loves to play. (Hounds tend to be the most mouthy breed, and Cooper doesnt disappoint). Hes quite submissive, so he pairs well with most pups. We frequent the dog park, so we have many puppy friend. Consistency is so important for the behavior and health of your dog, so I will happily accommodate your pooches needs to their benefit. I've learned with the way our guests tend to happily (and safely) play with Cooper, that while in my care sometimes there isn't enough energy left for our routine walks. If walks are part of a training regime, please let me know so I can ensure the walks still take place. I do require a meet and greet prior to every booking. This ensures there is a good fit in personalities of pups and myself as your pup's caregiver. I apologize, but because I work from home, I cannot take in habitual barkers, or dogs who are not crate trained. If you have read this far and you use Instagram, please find me watchmywags.sacramento. I work from home, and have a flexible schedule, so no worries about separation anxiety, and rest assured your furry friend will stay plenty active freely roaming our home and property. I also have 3 lovely children who enjoy the company of animals. I'm happy to help out with evening walks. Let me know if there's a specific route you're using for training purposes. I will follow your lead. If theyre coming to my home to play, I have a large fenced yard with room to run. A designated crate area for sleep. I accompany doggos while they run about outside whether for pee, poop or play. I work from home, so your pup is welcome to hang with me and Coop while I work. Cooper is happy to keep your guy entertained under my supervision. Constant video monitoring in community areas as well, so safety is utmost importance. If we are visiting your home, please leave clear written instructions. I will respect your wishes as your pet companion.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - North Highlands
Nicole is absolutely the best. She is responsive, kind, and takes great care of our pup. She is honestly one of the few people we trust to check on her, and she has been coming to see our Border Collie, Xoco, since she was a puppy. Would highly recommend her for any pet needs. <3
This was our first time using Rover and Christany was great with our 1 year old pup! She was able to accommodate our request for multiple days of drop-ins while we were out of town with little notice and provided very quick and easy communication. She shared sweet photos and logged all his activity, and checked in with us for preferences to make sure she knew exactly how we wanted him cared for. We are so grateful, and will absolutely be requesting Christany next time we are away!
Olivia was fantastic! I received so many pics and some videos of my for babies, it made being away from them a little easier. My animals warmed up to her very quickly and I felt quite comfortable with her taking care of them. I will absolutely be using her in the future!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in North Highlands is $35 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $50 per visit. 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 November 2026, there are 3,997 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across North Highlands. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in North Highlands. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 95% 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.
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.
