“Nila had a wonderful time with Mrs. Amber and her family. Mrs. Amber consistently kept us updated and sent lots of pictures and videos. I highly recommend Mrs. Amber to watch your pups!”

“I was happy with Stacie watching my dogs, Stacie is nice, and pleasant, my dogs like her as well. Stacie sent me a picture of my dogs at her place. My dogs looked happy.. Thank you Stacie.”

“Our dog Dobby just finished her first tryout stay with Daniela. It seems like she had a good time and there weren't any big problems. Daniela kept us in the loop and sent lots of pics during the days. Dobby seems pretty happy with her stay, so we are as well. We will definitely be getting in touch with Daniela again for further dog watching.”


About: I have had cats & dogs since I was a child. Now I have a cat who loves dogs and neighbors bring their dogs over to see how they react to a cat. I am a retired vet with nothing but time to worship animals. I visit the dog park even though I dont have a dog & carry treat in case I meet a dog I have a yard with a fence, two bedrooms & a comfy couch all are welcome on. I live near a dog park & several parks for roaming.

“Ashley was great with our little Yorkie and our little guy enjoyed playing with Ashley's sweet Iris. We received frequent photos and video updates. We were able to relax knowing that our dog was in good hands.”

“I was so grateful to find Simone over the holidays, and even more relieved to learn she had already met my dog through her previous sitter (who was her sister). Such a small world! Simone and her family are wonderful, loving, and clearly experienced with dogs. I felt confident knowing my pup was in great hands, and she had an excellent time. Highly recommend!”

“Memphis loved her boarding experience with Aurora! I was sent with pictures, videos, and updates throughout the stay which was greatly appreciated. We will definitely be booking with Aurora again!”

“Book with Tina & Bob! This was our first time using rover for our senior cockapoo. She stayed multiple nights with Tina & Bob and they treated her like their own. Their house was beautiful and Grace had the perfect setup. They took such care to the smallest details and kept us informed. They are genuine, good people that are a hidden gem on this app. They are true animal lovers that will love your dog like family. We can’t wait to go back. Thanks Tina & Bob!!”


About: I’ve had pups of my own my whole life. I love all animals and want to make sure your other half is cared for! I work five days a week but I am allotted an hour everyday at lunch to go provide care to your furry friend! After work I will be able to let them out and get them out for exercise ! I always ensure that the animals care is met based on their specific needs, walks are very important and making sure they have ample time to get their energy out.

“Marieta and her family were wonderful! She did a pre-visit to put us at ease and was so loving to our dog. She regularly sent updates with pictures and was super easy to communicate with. Highly recommend!!”

“Stephanie took care of our sassy little maltese like her own! She gave alot of updates and sent pictures/videos. It's our first time booking through rover and we will definitely book her again for our next trip. Thanks, Stephanie!”

“Abe is amazing, he took my pup last minute and as soon as we met, I felt extremely comfortable leaving my dog with him. I appreciated him so much and knew my dog was in good hands. I’ll definitely be going to him first thing if my dog needs boarding! Thank you so much Abe! You are the best!”

About: My wife and I were lucky to have our dog, Rocco, for 20 wonderful years. After losing him last year, we miss having a dog in our home and are excited to give your pet the same love, attention, and care. We welcome dogs of all ages and have extensive experience caring for senior pets, including those who need a little extra patience and support. We know it can be stressful leaving your dog with someone new, so we prioritize communication and peace of mind. You can expect regular updates, photos, and reassurance that your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Your dog will be treated like family while they’re with us. What To Expect: We only take one dog (or family’s dogs) at a time We live in a quiet mostly retired neighborhood. We will ask and follow your dog’s routine closely Medication administration experience Pet care fits very naturally into our daily routine. I work from home most days, so your dog will have consistent supervision and companionship throughout the day. My wife and I plan our schedules to ensure your pet’s needs come first, including regular walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention. Because of this, dogs are rarely left alone for extended periods. We also have a quiet, adult-only home in a mostly retired neighborhood, which creates a calm, low-stress environment, especially helpful for senior dogs or those who prefer a more relaxed setting. We enjoy having a dog as part of our day-to-day life, whether that is relaxing at home or getting outside for walks. Our goal is to make your dog’s stay feel as close to their normal routine as possible. We provide care in our home as if your dog were part of our family. Dogs are welcome in our main living spaces and will receive plenty of attention, affection, and supervision throughout the day. Since there are two of us, your pet will rarely be alone and will have consistent companionship. We keep our environment calm and comfortable, which is especially helpful for senior dogs or those who prefer a quieter setting. We follow your dog’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, and any special care needs. We’re also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. Our goal is for your dog to feel safe, relaxed, and right at home while staying with us.

About: I can do it all from big breeds, to small breeds; from happy breeds, to sad breeds. I’ve also got experience in tending to aggressive animals or animals who react out of fear so don’t worry! Growing up, I had an aggressive pup who people refused to come around and it made things hard on me, I want to give ALL pet parents a chance to feel safe knowing their aggressive or reactive dog is in good hands. I know the do’s and the don’t’s! Animals are a passion and if I could have every animal in the world, I would! Give me a shot to take care of your baby and you won’t regret it! I’m an active duty military member, but I work in a 24hr shop so my schedule shifts a lot. However, that is no issue for me as long as I have a heads up from my clients! I will work with them to create a schedule that best suits both me and the animals! Your animal is now a priority of mine(: I have a 6” vinyl privacy fence with a very large backyard. I have 3 dogs of my own and can accommodate some animals in my home. However, I will need to have your animals formally meet mine before making that decision so that we don’t put anyone in harms way. I will also request an updated shot record for any animals entering my home and will provide you with the same(:
About: I've watched pets for friends and family since I was a teenager. I am comfortable with all breeds of dogs and cats and will love them like they are my own. I can't wait to meet you and your fur baby. I am currently a stay at home spouse and looking for ways to make extra income doing something I love. I am extremely flexible with my schedule and will make the time to make things work. I have a cat that seems to get along with other animals, but haven't put it to the test too much. I have walked and pet sat for several clients with bigger dogs and that have special needs and am comfortable with them all. I do always try and do a meet and greet before our first visit so your pet can get to know me before they are left alone with me.
About: I have cats and dogs my entire life and have multiple in my own home. They’re safe with me :) I promise to update you as needed. I am a 5th grade teacher and currently on summer break! I do work part time in the evenings and some mornings on the weekends. Let me get in some exercise in with your pups! I promise to love your babies as my own! I will respect your home/your pet as I would like my own respected. I am trustworthy and will provide the best care I possibly can!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Highland
Tammy watched our English mastiff over the weekend and it seems to have went really well. He came back exhausted from getting to play with some of the other dogs. We have taken him to overnight kennels before and he comes back home and just seems sad like he was locked in a cage all weekend. Tammy allowed him to be out and get to enjoy playing and being around other dogs. We will definitely be contacting her again when we need him to be watched again. Thank you Tammy.

There are 465 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Highland. About 94% of Highland sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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.
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.
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.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in IL ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
