“Lindsey was great! He watched my dogs at my house for 5 days and he did an excellent job communicating with us daily, sending pics and updates on the pups. House was clean when we returned. He had good training tips as well. He even covered up our outdoor furniture for us when it started raining, which was much appreciated. I would rebook, dogs seemed very happy with him.”
“Wonderful timely and dependable! We had a bad experience with a sitter previously but Megan restored our trust in using pet sitters! Brody was very happy to have her company. Thank you Megan for giving me peace of mind while I was on a work trip 🙏”
“Amir took fantastic care of Rose our Boston Terrier. We received plenty of pictures of her on a daily basis. And even had to deal with Rose being sprayed by a skunk. Would definitely use Amir again.”
“Aidan is amazing! Our 2 dogs and 1 cat had a blast (tons of pics). Not only did our pets take to him right away, but he was great about giving our older boy the meds he needs during the day! He kept our house incredibly clean and communicated with us the entire time. We hope he will help us out again in the future. Aiden, if you’re reading this, we want you to come back!”
“I'm so glad I found Brooklynn to watch my fur babies. She asked all the right questions she needed about my puppy before we even met. She was right on time when she arrive and was ready to take care of my puppy. She sent pictures to let me know he was doing good. I will definitely have her keep me as her client. Thank you Brooklynn0”
“Myrna did a great job with my nervous dog, Annie while I was gone for a few days. When I got home Annie was happy, the house was clean and everything was in order. I’m glad that Myrna was there to handle some other things that came up while I was gone. I am definitely using her again. Thank you Myrna!”
About: I love every pet I've ever met, from my childhood hamsters to my three silly cats - and I already know I love yours! I've had my own kitties for 6 years, and I've been taking care of others' cats, dogs, and small animals for even longer, from playful puppies to grumpy feline queens of the house. I can give most kinds of oral and topical medications comfortably if your pet needs any, and I have a decent amount of behavioral experience with anxious pets. I'm also no stranger to incontinence issues, and am more than happy to scrub any carpet. Bring on the enzyme cleaner! I'm in a transitional period right now, so I am happy to spend as much time with your pet as needed to keep their regular routine. As the owner of more than one anxious cat, I know just how important it is to keep your pet's environment as close to normal as possible while you're gone. I'm more than happy to work with you to make your house as close to routine as possible, from feeding times, play styles, or even someone to pounce on at 3am!
“Mercedes did a great job taking care of our pup two different times. She was very communicative and showed up / left right on team, leaving our house in great shape. She treated our dog like her own and he seemed very happy throughout her stay with him!”
“Sydney was an awesome house sitter/petsitter. She spoiled all three animals and sent us timely updates and pictures. The house was left tidy. We will definitely be booking her for future sits!”
“Frank was amazing with the pups and I really appreciated their flexibility and competence. I had total peace of mind knowing that the pups were with such an experienced and responsible sitter. Definitely recommend!!!”
“Janelle was fantastic! She stayed with our 11 year old dog in our home for a week, and we couldn't be more pleased. She took great care of our beloved dog and home (the house was cleaner than when we left). She enthusiastically followed my many instructions, keeping our dog's routines in tact while we were away, with lots of walks, snuggles, treats and pictures provided. She even took our dog on errands with her so she wouldn't be left home alone. I will use Janelle anytime we need a sitter and highly recommend her. I was also very impressed with her attention to detail, affection and consideration for my pup's welfare. Thank you Janelle!”
About: I absolutely love animals. My family has fostered dogs and cats my whole life, from seniors to fresh pups we helped them all! I also spent most of my childhood helping my grandfather run his farm/looking after his animals. I currently have a part time job so I will have more than enough time to take care of your furry friends! I have my own car so getting to wherever you need is never a problem. Anything your animal needs I will assure they get it. Anything you want them to do will get done. Exercise, playtime, food, and love. The four essentials that your pets will have covered!
“Debbie was great. She handled everything professionally, asked great questions, and even had some suggestions. Good communication leading up to and during our trip. We would use her again.”
“Lyra was kind, soft spoken, reliable, friendly and took great care of our big boy. She stayed with in at our home and left our house as clean as she found it. We highly recommend her!”
“Erica watched our two “Velcro” Frenchies for several days and is fantastic! She communicated with us to let us know how things were going daily and was very respectful while staying in our home. I would definitely recommend her to babysit your pet!”
“Tiana is wonderful! She watched our 2 dogs at our home while we were away recently. She kept us in the loop about how things were going with our pups, left our house in immaculate condition, and was just so sweet! You can tell she really has a love for animals and enjoys her work. We are looking forward to booking with her again.”
“Tabitha did a wonderful job caring for my two dogs, both of whom are anxious pups. She stayed with them and provided comfort and support that I believe made their time apart from me much easier on them. The night I returned, she had calming music playing on the t.v. for them, and she made sure the house was as clean as I had left it. I would highly recommend Tabitha for your pet sitting needs.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Upper Highland
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 4,183 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Upper Highland. 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 Upper Highland 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 Upper Highland 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 Upper Highland 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.
