“Communicative, respectful, caring, and most of all trustworthy. Joli was a pleasure to have. This was my first time leaving my dog with anyone besides my parents, so as you can imagine I was nervous. She was willing to work with my schedule and I could immediately tell my dog was her highest priority. Joli house sat for me as well, and she treated my home with respect and went the extra miles. Joli took the initiative to proactively give me updates on Chip and their adventures, and it made me so happy! Chip had the best time!! The icing on the cake was that on my flight back I was delayed and could have missed my connection. Joli was very willing to stay with Chip longer if I did miss my connection. She made sure I made my connecting flight and made sure I made it home. I will exclusively be using Joli every time I need a puppy sitter and I highly highly recommend leaving your animals with her. She will spoil them with attention and affection while you are away!”
“Kelly was great with my 5 month old puppy! She took him on walks and played with him and even cleaned up after him when he got sick! We will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“I have never left my dog with anyone other than family or friends so I was nervous using rover for my first time. I had a friend cancel for watching my dog Saint a DAY before a trip I had planned. I was freaking out and didn’t know what to do. I found Kierra and rover and gave it a shot. She accepted my booking the day before I left and I couldn’t be more thankful. Kierra exceeded my expectations x 100! My dog Saint loves her and when I came home he was happy and well taken care of. Kierra checked in with me and sent me photos during my time away which made me feel sooooo much better. I would 100% recommend her to anyone, and will be using her services anytime I go out of town again and can’t take my baby!”
“Sovan was great with our two doodles! He put our minds at ease, gave regular updates, and followed instructions. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing everything was going smoothly. He dogsit at our home and everything was exactly how we left it.”
“Parker was great watching Honey! She kept me updated with pictures, took great care of Honey and the house, and left everything clean. Would definitely book with Parker again!”
“Jocelyn did an amazing job watching Honey! She kept me updated and sent so many photos while I was away. Honey was in great hands and I’ll definitely be using her again!”
“kyleigh house sat for a week while we travelled abroad, and when we came home our pup was acting totally normal and the home was spotless. she also sent us photo updates most days which helped us enjoy the travels without worrying about our doggo. highly recommend!!”
About: What sets me apart is that I already have two dogs of my own, so I understand the day-to-day care, patience, and consistency pets need. I’m comfortable with puppies, senior dogs, and everything in between—whether that’s giving extra attention, or following special routines. Since I work nights and take mostly online classes, I’m flexible during the day and can give pets plenty of time, love, and attention. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine. Although I work most nights from 3-8 or 3-9 pm and am a part-time student with mostly online classes, I have plenty of free time to dedicate to your dog or cat. My schedule changes week to week, so the best way to schedule is to text me, and we can find a time that works for both of us. I'm flexible and committed to providing the best care for your pets! I provide loving and attentive care for all types of dogs and cats , treating each one as if they were my own. While caring for your pet in your home,I tailor my services to meet their specific needs and routines. This includes regular feeding, exercise, engaging playtime, and plenty of affection. I'm dedicated to creating a safe, clean, and stimulating environment where your pet can thrive. Your pet's health and happiness are my top priorities, and I'm committed to providing peace of mind while you're away.
“Zachariah did a fantastic job taking care of my large dog and 2 cats. Couldn’t have asked for a more professional experience and he left my house looks spotless. Would recommend his services to anyone!”
About: Hi! I’m Caitlin, a lifelong pet lover from Kentucky! I’ve grown up around animals, always had dogs and/ or cats in my home! I have experience with pets of all ages (puppies and seniors included) and breeds big or small!! I am quick to get along with any furry friend and hope to get to know yours! I’m here to make sure your pets are happy, healthy, and cared for when you aren’t home! 🩷✨🐾 I am new to the area and do not have a full time position here! I am open and willing to care for your furry friends almost any time of any day! I am very aware of my surroundings when out with any pets! I try to stay alert on their triggers and am able to crate dogs when leaving if needed!
About: I've looked after my own pets throughout the course of my life, as well as family and friends' animals. I have worked with smaller dogs and larger, older and younger dog, as well as cats and a bird. I am also open to other animal types as needed. Weekends are my most flexible times for the high-energy furry friends! I work full time Monday through Friday during the days; weekdays are best for the pets that are used to their families gone during the days Petcare in a client's home is tailored to the pet's needs and family's rules. My goal is to remove any stress from pets and provide stability while the family is away
“Kailynn watched our dogs while we were out of town at our house for a week. She provided our babies plenty of potty breaks, walks, and snuggles. She sent us some pictures of them also while we were away - which is always nice since we miss them for sure. She kept the house clean and had everything washed and remade for the guestroom when we came home! Will be using her again for sure in the future!”
About: Hi! I’m Pinellas County local returning after spending several years abroad. This past year while living in Germany, I’ve had the absolute privilege of caring for more than 40 pets using Rover’s German-equivalent, Pawshake, where I take great pride in maintaining a 5 star rating and building trust with more than a dozen pet parents that chose to rebook me again and again. I have experience caring for breeds large and small, and pets young and old. From an elderly chihuahua to an 8-week-old Rhodesian Ridgeback, I’ve developed an expertise in understanding dogs of all ages and sizes, interpreting their needs, and ensuring their ultimate comfort and happiness while they’re in my care. I have experience caring for as many as 3 dogs at once, as well as house sitting overnight in the pet’s home and boarding pets over night in my own home. My favorite part of pet sitting is the relationships I get to build with both my pets and their parents. :) Thank you for considering my services—please reach out with any questions! I work remotely for myself, which allows me ultimate flexibility to adapt and coordinate to your schedule and your pet’s needs! My pet parents frequently comment on how helpful it is to them that I’m frequently available for last-minute bookings, as well as maintain flexibility to shift my schedule around, extend time, etc. as needed. The pet’s comfort is my first and foremost priority, which means that the first thing that’s required is that I build trust with the pet. This starts by me asking several questions about the pet, which I will use to adapt my approach to trust-building with your pet (playing with a favorite toy, treats, or simply sitting together at first—every pet needs something different!). I ensure that I stick to the schedule or routine that they are used to, and make sure to send lots of pictures and updates so that you’re always kept in the loop!
“Sarena was absolutely amazing with our girl. She kept us updated the whole time we were away with pictures and even brought in our packages and garbage cans. She cleaned up and washed the sheets and towels as well! We would 100% ask her to watch our pets again. We’re so lucky to have found her!”
About: Dogs have been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember! I've grown up with a Golden Retriever, a Swiss Mountain Dog, and now have a Mini Dachshund! i live a very active lifestyle and love spending time outdoors. If your dog enjoys long walks, exploring, and getting plenty of exercise, we'll get along great! And if they're more of a couch potato who just wants some extra love and attention I'm all for that too! I understand how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else's care. My goal is to make you feel completely comfortable knowing your dog is safe, happy, and getting all the love and attention they deserve. I'll treat your dog like my own and make sure you receive plenty of photos and updates along the way! My schedule is flexible, which allows me to accommodate you and your dog’s needs! I live an active lifestyle and love spending time outdoors, so daily walks and playtime fit naturally into my routine. Whether your pup needs a quick check-in, a long walk, or some extra attention while you’re away, I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that works best for everyone! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to understand each pet’s normal routine, personality, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions you provide. I’m attentive on walks, respectful of your home, and will never put your pet in an unfamiliar or unsafe situation. I’ll treat your pet like my own little Finley and keep you updated with plenty of photos and communication so you can feel completely comfortable while you’re away.
“Maggie is fantastic! Don’t hesitate to book her, she will make sure your pets are loved and taken care of while you are away and always provide you with updates, photos, videos, etc. I will absolutely be booking with her again for our next out of town trip!”
“Mr. Jason was absolutely amazing in taking care of my husky. He followed all my instructions and went above and beyond, taking my boy on walks down the trail. If you want someone who will be attentive to your dogs needs and provide them with all the love, cuddles, and attention, this is the sitter to book. I have booked several sitters before on this app, but I dont think my boy has ever loved and missed a sitter before. He definitely misses hanging out with mr Jason.”
“Hailee was awesome with our boys! We will definitely be using her again in the future! She was so patient and loving with our mini dachshund that takes a little longer to trust and open up to strangers, she quickly became her new cuddle buddy!”
“Madi was fabulous and took such great care of our two dogs. The dogs warmed up to her so quickly and that put us at ease to enjoy our time away. She even went above and beyond and had the home as clean as it was when we left. She sent pics and updates and responded quickly. We hope to have her help again soon!”
“Taylor was amazing with my pup Monti. She was very professional, kind, and responsive. I needed help last second when a sitter decided to cancel on me two days before my trip and Taylor was my life savor. I will be using Taylor again as she is trust worthy and reliable!”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - South Highpoint
First time using Rover for our pups and Paola was fantastic! We didn’t know exactly what to expect but she for sure exceeded expectations. Daily walks, continued check ins (on both dogs and with pics to us). Overall, 10/10 experience and would recommend her to anyway looking to leave there pups in good hands!
Michaela was absolutely amazing and took wonderful care of my dog and two cats! She sent photos and updates of all three every day, which gave me so much peace of mind. She was also incredibly respectful of my home and personal belongings. I would recommend her 10/10 and will definitely book with her again!
From the moment Melody walked in to meet our dogs we knew she was going to be great! You can tell she loves dogs and she really cares about them being happy and safe. She was diligent about learning their routine and understanding their needs. She sent us pictures and updates while we were away and both dogs loved her. I highly recommend Melody if you are looking for a responsible, professional, person who genuinely will love your pet.
Sydney did a great job and was very flexible with our unusual schedule. We ultimately only needed her to house-sit for one day, but she remained available throughout the entire period and checked in each day to see whether we needed her. She was also very patient with one of our dogs, who typically takes a long time to warm up to new people, and handled him extremely well. Overall, we had a great experience and will definitely look for Sydney first the next time we need a house sitter.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Shannon did an amazing job taking care of our two dogs, Leo and Choco! This was our first time using Rover, and she made the entire experience stress-free. She was very communicative, sent us regular updates and photos, and followed all of our instructions carefully. She was incredibly patient with Leo, our Husky, who can be a little stubborn at times, and she handled everything with great care. We came home to two happy, relaxed dogs, and it was clear they were well looked after. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Shannon again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 South Highpoint 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 South Highpoint 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 South Highpoint 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
