About: I have been a dog mommy for over 25 years, and have taken care of the pets of friends and family forever. I’m especially partial to dogs, but cats are great too…once they deign to allow me to enter their kingdom 😁. I recently had to say goodbye to me soul mate dog, so I have a lot of love to give your fur babies. Can’t wait to meet them! I’m worked from home for over 6 years, and my current role is fully remote. As long as y there is strong and reliable internet, I can work from anywhere. I have nothing but time to dedicate to loving on your darling pets. I am active for those who like to walk, and I enjoy my down time cuddled up on the couch with a book and a sweet sleepy dog or cat. Let’s keep your babies at home where they are comfortable! I can come to your home and feed, walk, and give them outside time. Or, if you prefer, I can stay at your home with them while you’re gone. I’m a rule follower, so your house rules will be strictly adhered to, no question! If your pup is high energy and needs lots of walks, let’s go - I’m on a fitness journey myself! If they are in charge and have a designated spot on the couch, I’ll cozy up wherever they “tell” me I can. I just miss my doggo, and I think this is the best way for me to start to heal from that loss. Let me lavish love on yours!

Staci was wonderful! We have one dog that is scared of his own shadow and thinks strangers are very scary. I didn’t think there’d be anyway he’d go outside. She must be the dog whisperer because the very first day she not only got him outside but he was coming up to her to be petted. She sent the pictures and video to prove it! I can’t thank her enough for taking the time to warm up and understand him. She was also very flexible when plans changed through out the week. Will definitely be using her in the future!

About: Growing up, I was always surrounded by animals and have experience caring for dogs, cats, and rabbits of all ages. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, basic pet care, and giving pets plenty of attention while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has their own routine and personality, and I’m happy to follow your instructions to help them feel as comfortable as possible! I work Monday–Friday from 8:30–4:30 with a one-hour lunch break, so I’m available for morning and evening care throughout the week and have additional flexibility during my lunch break. I am a very patient and compassionate person, and I enjoy spending time with pets. I keep my home very tidy and will treat yours the same!

This was Jenee’s first time sitting for us and everything went great! She gave us super daily updates on each of our kitty boys and even cleaned up a plant they knocked over. We really appreciated her help and professionalism with our little guys and will be happy to ask her to cat-sit again.

About: I grew up with at least 4 dogs in the house always. I worked for a dog boarding/daycare/groomer for about 2 years. Family has had me take care of their dogs when they’ve been on vacation I work part time so I would have no problem going over to visit your baby 2-3 times a day. I cannot stay overnight or board at my place because of my own animals, but I will go over every morning, evening, and night to feed, medicate, and play with them. Whether they are normally crated or loose, I will follow that when I’m not there. They will be fed, walked, and played with as much as they need. My animals do not like new animals so I cannot board. I also can’t stay overnight with your dog(s).

Rebecca was everything you could have wanted out of Rover! Her love and dedication to animals is apparent the minute you meet her! Knowing that a very soon to be vet is watching over my two kitties gave me so much reassurance! Her daily check ins were incredibly detailed and she was able to accommodate to any request we asked of her! I couldn’t imagine a better kitty sitter!

About: I grew up on a farm with many various animals, tending to their needs all year round. We also raised Great Pyreneese, and I trained my dog in 4-H! I'm currently in nursing school, so I have time around classes during the week. Monday and Wednesday, I am available until 12 and after 2:45. Tuesday and Thursday, I am free before 11 and after 12:15! My schedule does differ so feel free to reach out! In your home, I follow your routines, secure doors and gates, double-check leashes, monitor constantly, and keep your pup calm, safe, and comfortable while you’re away.

About: I’ve been a dog sitter and worked with dogs for 4 years now. I have experience with large and small dogs. Along with this I have a golden retriever dog who is 6 years old who I have trained since he was 10 weeks old. He is a very social dog and loves all animals and people! I currently work part time! So I am able to be at home more often. With the free time on my hands I would love to care for your animals while you are away! While I don’t have a fenced yard I have a lead! I have a pretty open yard so lots of space to run around. Along with this I take my dog on walks every day to get all the energy out!!

About: I've taken care of own dogs for the past five years. I'm happy to walk, feed, bathe, and ensure your furry friend remains happy and healthy just like my own. No dog is too big or too small for me, I love them all! I'm currently in between jobs and currently have plenty of time for morning and evening walks. I am also able to pop-in during the day for any necessary potty breaks or other care your furry friend might need. I can not care for animals in my own home at this time; however, I will provide attentive care to your animal in your home.

About: Some see them as animals, I see them as little people... whom deserves to be loved and cared for properly. I am dedicated and trust worthy. SAFETY is my number one priority when it comes to your pet. I am a Welder by trade and its currently too hot outside for my career, so I'll have lots of time for your pet till the fall when it cools down. I have two very friendly children in my home, ages 17 and 7. We have lots of room in our home and a big back yard which includes chickens. The chickens stay inside their chicken run, they don't like dogs or cats anyway. My schedule is pretty open right now, so just let me know when you would like services, and I'll let you know if I'm available. We currently have chickens and one mixed breed dog named "Charlie" who loves all dogs, cats and even the chickens. Your pet would have our undivided attention! We absolutely love dogs and cats.

About: I have cared for a wide variety of pets from slippery and slimy to cuddly and soft. I currently work with a diverse group of animals every day as the education coordinator at Treehouse Wildlife Center. I Have pet sat for friends and neighbors since I was 12 and love the opportunity to make new animal acquaintances. I understand not all animals are perfect and can have varying levels of temperament and care. I am ready for anything, as I understand all pets deserve the best love and care regardless. Work full time 7-5 available weekends and evenings primarily but can make exceptions due to flexibility in my current position. Let me know if you have any questions. I have two dogs, a parrot, a hedgehog, and a few aquariums. I know my pets are cared for by the people I live with like they are their own, whenever I am gone. I plan to do the same as a sitter as I know how it can feel to be unsure to leave your pets while your away. Unfortunately we can’t always take our fuzzy friends where ever we go, no matter how much we love them.

About: I have had my own pets since I was a young child. I have taken care of many of my friends, family, neighbors, and church members pets over the years. I love dogs and kitties and believe they deserve to be well taken care of. They depend on us to be good to them and are at our mercy. If they are mistreated they can't say anything. This makes it that much more important to be good to our pets. I am not currently working so I have a lot of free time. I have 6 grown children who are on thier own. Two in college, the rest with their own families. I have one friendly lab mix who loves playmates. A fenced in yard, doggie door, and all hardwood floors so accidents are not tragic! I am within walking distance of our city bike/walking trail for long doggie walks.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Highland on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 1,133 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Highland. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Highland stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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:

  • 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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 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.
