About: I was an ER vet in NM, CA & IL for 28 years. Rehab vet for the last 12 years. Semi-retired now. All the skills except training. I'm currently semi-retired. No more 12 hour work days. No more 6 day work weeks. But I still want to do what I love doing around dogs and cats and their owners. I have a cat named Oliver. He needs medication twice a day, so I will need to go check in on him while pet sitting. I'm also a night owl if you need someone later in the day.
About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I grew up with my pitbull/boxer mix Nala, so I am comfortable with big dogs and high energy pups. I am patient, reliable and quick to learn each dog's routine. Every dog in my care gets treated like my own. Right now I am job hunting, so my schedule is wide open and pet care fits in perfectly. I am available for walks, drop ins and boarding on weekdays and weekends. I can work around your pet's routine and I am flexible with early mornings, evenings and last minute requests. In your home I follow your pet's routine exactly, with feeding, walks, playtime and medications on schedule. I keep everything clean and secure, doors locked and pets supervised at all times. I send photo updates so you always know your pet is happy and safe. In my home, pets get a calm, clean space with plenty of attention, fresh water and regular potty breaks.
“The nicest and most respectful young man! Showed up 5 minutes early and was very understanding to my pets specific needs. Would recommend to everyone who needs a pet or house sitter!”
“Air was wonderful! She came by for a home visit to let Loki out, fed both Loki and Thor, and spent some time playing with them and keeping them company. She was very attentive and took great care of both of them. We really appreciated her help and would definitely book her again!”
“Tony did a great job with our dog and we would absolutely book with him again. He was very kind, clearly loves animals, and made us feel really comfortable leaving our dog in his care. Communication was excellent and he was quick to respond and kept us updated, which we really appreciated. He also left our place well taken care of. Overall, we had a really positive experience and we’d highly recommend Tony to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
“Katy was awesome. She was consistent in her visits and thorough. She sent plenty of pictures and I felt confident my fur babies were well cared for. I will definitely use Katy’s service again. Ty”
“Cambria was great with our bulldog, Stella. Stella has some behavioral issues and Cambria had no problems. We loved all the photos and updates she sent as well. We hope to have her care for Stella again :)”
“Ashley was an amazing sitter for my 2 cats while I was away for a week for the holidays. She sent comments and pictures for every visit, and was incredibly communicative throughout the whole time I was gone. She was even able to be flexible for one of my cats that was experiencing difficulties eating while I was gone. I appreciated being able to have someone trusting to watch my cats. I will definitely be looking to book Ashley for future pet sitting. She was amazing!”
About: I grew up with dogs through my whole my childhood. Until I was 20, my mom got me a cat. So now we have 2 pups and a cat. I am currently a college student and taking most of my classes online. I am available in the morning Monday- Friday. I am available on some weekends.

I work full- time but am available most afternoons/evenings and available on weekends anytime of the day! My work will never interfere with caring for your animal! I always treat my animals with love and care. I would do the same for anyone else’s animals! I am very attentive and responsible with all pets
About: I've been surrounded by pets my whole life. I grew up with many cats (currently have 5) and a super loving golden retriever. Ever since I was 12, my neighbors and family friends have trusted me to watch their pets. Now that I'm away from home, I love any opportunity to spend time with animals. I can assure you your pets will be well taken care of and in loving hands with me!! I'm currently self-employed, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pets! I can house-sit or stop in for as long as you need any days/times of the week! I have watched many pets over the years. If you have a specific routine with your pet, I will easily be able to adapt to it so that your pet can stay in routine!
“Thank you for trying to get get him on the leash. Hoping you can come check on him this coming Tuesday. I will try to get him out for a walk. What kind of games did you play?”
About: I have had experience with all kinds of pets from dogs , cats , tarantulas , bearded dragons, snakes , leopard geckos, hermit crabs , guinea pigs, oh yah and a scorpion. What can I say I love all animals 🥹 I currently have three beautiful parakeet’s What can I say i’’m a lover of all animals. Being able to be around them makes me happy and brings me so much peace . Whatever makes the fur babies parents happy I can try my best to accommodate. As of right now I don’t have any fur babies of my own although I do have a snake.
About: I've always loved animals, and am often the "go-to" pet sitter for friends and family because caring for animals like they are my own is something that comes naturally to me. I love being active and being out and about, so taking your dog for a walk in addition to providing him or her with the attention they need would always be included in my services (if you approve of that, of course!) I have a very flexible schedule with tons of availability to better accommodate folks with busy schedules. I'm very active and love to be outside, so walking pups fits into my routine seamlessly! I have a fenced in yard with plenty of grass and shade, perfect for zoomies or just hanging out! I live in a very dog friendly and walkable neighborhood, but also enjoy exploring new areas. I'm very respectful of other people's homes and would follow any house rules outlined by you :)
About: I’ve always had a blend of animals growing up. I have, and still do, watched my friends and neighbors pets when they’re out of town, so I figure I do it for more people!! My schedule will be completely open for the summer! When I have a teaching schedule I work from 12:30-4:30 Monday-Friday so I have availability in the mornings and evenings. Right now I have two cats and with my house mates we have a total of 5 pets. I’d love to watch, play, and walk your pets, but I don’t think I will be able to host them in my home.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Highland is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $33 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 3,338 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Highland. 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 Highland. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
