“Julia, I want to thank you for stepping up and helping us when another walker had a family emergency starting the first day of the booking. Moxie enjoyed your company and attention and I was able to complete a business transaction without the distraction of worrying about Moxies's welfare. Good Job!”

About: Hello, I’m new to the app and am looking to make some furry friends! I am a true dog lover and enjoy adapting to each dog’s personality and needs. I’m a very active person who loves being outdoors, so I’m always happy to go on long walks, play, and keep energetic dogs engaged. At the same time, I’m patient and calm, which helps dogs feel comfortable and relaxed. Whether your dog wants an adventure or just a companion to hang out with, I’m happy to be exactly what they need. As a recent college grad, I currently have a very flexible schedule, and I am taking some time during the summer before starting the next chapter of my career pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I enjoy spending time with animals and being outdoors whether it’s going for walks playing or simply keeping a pet company care for animals is something I find rewarding and look forward to. When caring for pets, I like to follow the routine they are already used to so they feel safe and comfortable. I thrive with structure, so I appreciate clear instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications for feeding, or any special needs. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or in their home, my goal is to be present, attentive, and give them the care they need.

About: I absolutely love dogs and honestly think they are better than humans. I love discovering the unique personality that each dog has. I have owned dogs all my life and have taken care of countless friend's, family's, and neighbor's dogs. I have house sat many times, had dogs stay at my home for extended stays, and become the favorite person to most of my family and friend's dogs whenever I’m around them. I am home most of the time throughout the day and have the freedom to meet almost any need your dog will require. I have a 5 y.o. female golden retriever with a lot of love and energy and zero aggression. I can't think of a better way to occupy all of my free time than to spend my days entertaining your dog! I have all the time in the world to ensure that the services and quality of care that your dog deserves are met! I am available 24-7 to take care of dogs! The only commitment I have during the week is taking my kids to and from school and to their activities. Your Dog can ride shotgun! I will play with them as much as they need! I will feed your dog, go for as many walks as you need me to, take them out to go potty, and give them love and affection. I do have a crate if you would like me to crate your dog. However, I will be home the entire time and there really shouldn't ever be a need. I do have children so I do require that your dog is very good with kids. My kids are pretty calm and very nice to all animals. They love dogs almost as much as me. My Golden Retriever is high energy and very playful as well. So as long as your dog is ok with playing with other dogs then a great time will be had. I will accept any breed of dog into my home and care but I will not accept your dog if it is aggressive towards other dogs or children. I don’t care how wild and playful they are because that’s one thing I love about dogs! But if they tend to snarl and snip and assert dominance through aggression then I’m not your guy. I just want a safe environment for our pups to play.

About: I’m able to give medications to dogs and cats as I’ve had hands on experience for years with many different breeds. I’m also able to brush cats and dogs as needed and I’m very adaptable to every need. I work part time at Playa Bowls and I am a student at HCC. My schedule is very flexible and I am able to adjust my schedule as needed. I have about 4 acres of land and a home big enough for pets to get the exercise and play that they need and deserve!

“Gianna started walking my dog weekly about a month ago. I went back and forth as to whether or not I wanted to hire someone given my dog’s reactivity on walks. I could not be happier with our choice to have Gianna!! She is responsible, communicative, patient and kind. My dog is noticeably happier when I get home, and it feels like a huge weight is off our shoulders to know he is being cared for by someone who cares for and loves him like I do. I can’t recommend her enough!!”

About: I’m a dedicated dog lover who has 20 years of experience with high-need small breeds to larger pittie mixes. I have experience with medication management, fragile pets with mobility issues, anxiety and more. I work full-time from home so as long as I have a WiFi connection I’m in good shape. Plenty of time for walks and playtime I am available for walks, drop ins, day care or boarding in my home or yours. I have a fenced yard and literal miles of sidewalks and trails near me for walks. I offer run of the house for dogs who can do that, or safe smaller spaces for little ones. I have lots of experience with maintaining a safe environment for pets with anxiety, mobility issues or other conditions.

“Ryan was wonderful. I can tell she really loves animals and cares about her job. She followed through with everything that I requested her to do. She had no problem at all walking both of my dogs at the same time - which can be challenging! I hope to use her again but from what I understand she goes away to college soon and will return to Maryland for holidays and when her school has breaks.”

About: Hello, I started to care for dogs other than mine when I started babysitting for children years ago. I really enjoy it. I am available during the day until 5pm most days. If you need later just request or ask and ill let you know if i can on the days you need. I am excited to meet new dogs, and be able to help fellow owners who need a hand making sure their dogs are taken care of. I really love dogs and hope to be a good fit in this community. If you have any questions please feel free to ask. I know these dogs are precious to you and I will my best to keep them on their schedule. I work nights so I’m usually available during the day. This fits for me because I want to be more active during the day. I cant wait to meet your dog! Depends on the pet parents. Some pet parents leave their dogs out. I try to make sure they have some water on warmer days. If they are crated, then I crate them before I leave. I make sure the home is closed when I leave for a walk and when I leave for the day.

About: I have grown up with animals since I was born. I have experience with cats, dogs, rodents, reptiles and fish. I love spending time with animals and have been a professional pet sitter and walker for 5 years. Additionally, I have worked as an animal care professional where I specialized in administering medication, cleaning enclosures, and creating enrichment. My love for animals inspired me to study biology and am currently pursuing my PhD from the University of Maryland. As a student, my schedule is very accommodating. I can't wait to meet you and your fur babies! I am a full time student with most of my classes online. My schedule is very flexible and I can usually accommodate last minute bookings. I will treat your pet as if they are my own. I am very detail oriented and will follow whatever instructions you give me to a T. I believe it is important to keep to a pet's regular routine and will make sure they get plenty of food, water, walks, and love when needed.

He even managed to accommodate an extension ensuring we had a great time while we were away. We will DEFINITELY work with him again.”

FAQs for Dog Walking - Highland

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Highland is $16 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $21 per walk. On Rover, walkers 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 October 2026, there are 17,080 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Highland. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Highland. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Highland after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Every walker 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 .

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

  • 85% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

walkers on Rover set their own , 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 walker.
