I enjoy tailoring my routine to meet the needs of each pet, ensuring their well-being and happiness. This not only allows me to provide excellent service to pet owners but also gives me the opportunity to connect with animals, which I find fulfilling and enjoyable. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on creating a comfortable and stress-free environment tailored to each pet’s needs.

Ana is easily the best cat sitter I've ever hired (and I say that, never having had a bad experience with a pet sitter). She watched our 2 nervous cats and went above and beyond to make sure they were well taken care of. She even did an extra check-in when one of our cats wasn't eating and cleaned up their vomit. Thank you very much, Ana, and we will definitely hire you again.

About: Cats and dogs have been part of my everyday life since childhood. Today my wife and I share our home with two cats and two dogs — so your pet is joining a household that already speaks their language. I've cared for family members' and friends' animals through house sitting, in-home drop-ins, feeding, walks, and play — at my place and at theirs. Laid-back, attentive, and genuinely passionate about animals. Pet care is my full-time focus right now. While I take cybersecurity courses and work toward a new career in tech, my days are built around home — which means your pet gets consistent, attentive care every single day of the week. I am available for both daycare and boarding seven days a week with no gaps in availability. A typical day looks like this: Meals Three feeding periods — morning, midday, and evening — keep pets on a consistent routine throughout the day. Walks Dogs go out 6 to 7 times a day, roughly every 3 hours, so there are no long stretches of waiting — they stay active and comfortable all day long. Cat play Cats enjoy one to two dedicated play sessions each day to keep them stimulated and engaged. My home is a pet-friendly, well-organized space designed with animal comfort and safety in mind. Here's what you can expect: Resident dogs Two friendly small dogs — a Pomeranian and a Chihuahua — live in the home and are great companions for visiting dogs. They've spent time at doggy daycare themselves and are comfortable and experienced around other dogs, which helps guests settle in faster. Cats in the home There are cats in the household. Baby gates are in place throughout the home to create separated zones as needed, keeping cats and dogs comfortable and giving everyone their own space to decompress. Yard & outdoor time My yard is not fenced, so all outdoor time is leashed. With 6 to 7 walks a day, dogs get more than enough fresh air and exercise — and they're never left unattended outside. Crating A small dog crate is available if a pet is crate-trained or needs a quiet retreat. I'm also happy to use a crate provided by the owner if your dog is more comfortable in their own space.

About: I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life and I have dog and cat sit for friends since I was 12 years old. I also volunteered at an animal shelter, working with both dogs and cats, for a couple of years. I am comfortable working with shy cats- my own kitty is quite shy. I’m looking forward to getting to know your fur baby! I just graduated and am currently waiting for security clearance to start a job, so I have a lot of availability! I love movement and being outside so am excited to take dogs for walks and play with dogs and cats. I will work with whatever routine you have pre-established for your loved one. I always like to sit with pets and let them get to know me, especially cats since they can be shy, and I am happy to brush or play with the pets if they enjoy that.

Taresse did an outstanding job taking care of my house cats during my recent trip out of town. My cats were well taken care of, and they are always happy to hang out with Taresse. She is really a cat and dog whisperer! I highly recommend Taresse - she is very good with both cats and dogs and very skilled in taking care of animals and giving medications. She is also reliable and responsible and keeps everything very tidy.

About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life. Dogs of all shapes and sizes. I love taking care of dogs. Playing, walking, and feeding them. They really are man’s best friend. I work full time, but telework often. I work 10 minutes from home and stop by for lunch daily. The weekends I’m home all the time. Would give full attention to all dogs. My house is the dogs house. As long as they are house trained, they have full use of the house. Nice big yard to run around. Plenty of trails to go for a walk and stretch their legs.

About: I've been a go-to pet sitter since I was 12, starting with dog walking as my first real job. Friends and family trust me so much they have referred me to others, and now I've got fur nieces and nephews all over the country. Whether it’s puppies or senior pets, I make sure they feel loved on and happy. Working from home gives me plenty of flexibility to fit pet care into my routine. I currently have a cat and share pet duties with my roommate, so I'm used to balancing responsibilities. Plus, I miss being more active, and pet care is a perfect way to stay active and enjoy time with furry friends. It’s a win-win for all of us! I like to learn the pets regular home routine & abide by the rules of the house. From there, it’s important for me to make the transition feel seamless. I give them a lot of love & reassurance especially if I sense their feeling anxious or confused. I also love to incorpore long walks and more active play time to help them expend some energy and hopefully soothe any anxiety. I would determine the right type of activities based on their temperament & guidance from their owner.

Faith was amazing!! It’s always very anxiety inducing for me to leave my cats, especially since my one is very shy and easily startled. But she took such good care of them and even got my loner cat to come out for some love!! Faith is very communicative and I loved that she sent plenty of pictures each day. It’s obvious that she loves the cats and taking care of animals! I will not hesitate to book her next time I’m out of town :)

I met Jay today for a paid meet and greet with my dogs. It was a great visit!! He confirmed a few hours before the visit via text, and arrived on time for the visit. He showed up prepared, having previously read all the profile pages of each of my dogs, and asked great questions. My dogs loved him!! I have one dog who's a little more nervous to meet new people and she was very comfortable with Jay. It was obvious that Jay really loves animals and that he cares about their happiness and well-being. I'm glad this is a great fit because I have some trips coming up that I will need help with, and am lucky that Jay will be able to stay at my house!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Highland on Rover is $26.75 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 Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 16,835 sitters on Rover offering Dog 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.

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 lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Highland with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Highland. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% 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.

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.
