About: As a family we adore dogs. We are previously had a cocker spaniel who lived a happy loved life and died of old age when our daughter was a baby. As our life over the past 8 years has been busy bringing up our 2 children now 8 and 5 we didnt think it was a right time to bring a dog into the family. We are now considering a dog but want to ensure its the right decision before making the huge commitment again. Our daughter who is 8, is a animal lover she has a pony which she shares with her granny and the love and kindness she she shows her pony is heartwarming. She is also very committed to animal welfare and caring for all animals pets and wildlife. She is very keen for a dog and would like the opportunity to prove herself. For her 8th birthday she asked for poo bags to practice picking up dog poo! Serious commitment picking up other people's dog poo!! She has had experience with other family members dogs and friends and neighbours dogs and is very sensible and aware of dog behaviours as has read and studied various dog books. We would obviously support observe and assist the children at all times. As a family we are very active we have a suitable garden for a dog and live very close to a rural walk that is suitable for on lead or off lead walks. We are also own a property on the west coast of Scotland which is almost on the beach pictured. We would be delighted to take a dog that we got to know over time for longer periods to our holiday home for holiday cover if required, it's a dog's paradise. We would mainly be able to welcome a dog during the weekends. As we would all be off without commitments the day would very much revolve around the dog and its needs. We would plan our day around walks and meal times for the dog and it will be with us at all times never being left alone. Completely fenced dog safe back garden. Dog completely supervised at all times in the garden and when with the children. The house will be dog safe and appropriate place for the dog to rest/sleep will be available. No doubt on the sofa in front of the fire if owners allow this!
About: Hi! I'm a reliable and caring animal lover who loves spending time with pets. I'm a cat owner myself, so I understand the needs for pets to feel comfortable and well looked after while their owners are away. I currently work a 4-days-on / 4-days-off schedule, which gives me several full days where i can be available for pet care, walks and home visits. As a cat owner I have hands-on experience caring for pets. I regularly dog sit for friends, including feeding, walking and playtime. I am comfortable caring for both cats and dogs with different personalities and am able to follow specific routines, feeding schedules and instructions. I currently work a 4-days-on / 4-days-off schedule. This makes me available for several consecutive days at a time which works well for pet sitting, regular walks or holiday cover. I can offer flexibility on my days off. As a cat owner I understand the need for playtime and attention when needed. As an experienced dog walker/sitter I am used to handling dogs on and off lead and handling interaction with other dogs and dog owners when out walking. I can work with any feeding schedule and food requirements.
About: I have taken care of dogs for many years. I have fostered and adopted rescue dogs. I have walked and pet sat dogs for neighbours. I am used to caring for large and reactive dogs I work remotely. So I have plenty flexibility for toilet breaks and lunch time walks. I work 9-5 with an hour for lunch. I am active and enjoy reasonably lengthy walks. I dont work on Mondays so can spend more time with the animal's on that day. I am able to work in the dogs/ cats presence so I can interact with them throughout the day. I have public liability insurance and canine First Aid training.
“Naomi is a fantastic pet sitter, she is very kind and considerate and truely loves the Newfs, Purdey and Doughal. She kept me updated on their welfare, sent pictures after they had been brushed and fed them to their needs. Naomi provided care for the dogs at a very difficult time for our family but she enabled us to focus knowing the dogs were well looked after and safe.”
“I can’t recommend Logan highly enough. Logan’s communication was excellent in the run up and he gave daily updates on our dog, who got lovely long walks every day. Logan went above and beyond in keeping our home clean and tidy. And most importantly our dog was happy and healthy when we returned. Thank you Logan :)”

Kamila stayed at our house for a week while we were away on holiday. She looked after our jack russel cross and 2 cats. Nothing was too much trouble. She kept in regular contact and left the house spic and span for our arrival home. Id highly recommend kamila! A lovely trustworthy young lady. Many thanks jodie
Kamila very kindly came to care for Ava on short notice and took great care of her while we were gone for the day. Nothing was too much trouble and Ava was happy and settled with her. We feel very at ease leaving our pup in Kamilas hand and completely trust her meaning we can relax while we are gone. We hope to book her again soon.

The average cost for House Sitting in Highland on Rover is £31.05 per night (as of July 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 .

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:
- Post & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Rubbish & recycling: Taking bins out on scheduled rubbish collection days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best time to agree on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a 'home cheat sheet' that includes your preferred Highland walking routes, the location of your favourite pet shop, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes dedicated customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement programme 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 must pass an identity verification before they can list their services. An identity verification confirms that the sitter is who they say they are based on their documents.
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 our Trust & Safety page .
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 Highland choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a key safe or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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.
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 vet. 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 authorisation form for your regular vet. An authorisation 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.
