About: Growing up with 6 dogs in our home at once, I have a special connection and love for animals. Working with rescues, pure breed dogs, females in heat and knowing how to whelp, has given me plenty of experience. I have been boarding dogs in my home for over 7 years. I am home full time, with the occasional errand to run. There is a place to hike, with great trails, right up the road from my home. I have a fenced in yard where dogs can run, play and hangout in the sun. I live on 9 acers, for us to explore and go for walks. I have dogs of my own, so your dog will have plenty of socialization and play time. Raw food diet or special dietary issues are not a problem. Meet and greet is required for all potential stays.
About: I really love being around animals as they bring a lot of joy. Over the years I have pet sat for various family friends, co-workers, colleagues, and friends of friends pets. While pet sitting not only have I been responsible to feed the pets, give them water, let them out to relieve themselves, clean up after the pets, and take them out for a walk but I also have looked after the house. Additionally, I have been working for a company so couples beloved dogs can attend their weddings. Previously, I have volunteered by fostering dogs and dog walking. I am available most weekends and off most holidays. I do work full time so if it is anything during the week I do not get home until after 5 pm. Anything during the week I need to know ahead of time so I can plan accordingly. I would care for your pets as one of my own. I am flexible and come to your pets home so they are comfortable in their own environment.
About: I grew up around dogs, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I’ve helped take care of my friends’ dogs, including Pip, whom I’ve watched since he was a puppy, and Martha, a more senior dog. I’ve handled walking, feeding, playtime, and just generally making sure they’re comfortable and well cared for. I’m very responsible and understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I take that responsibility seriously and treat every dog as if they were my own. It means a lot to me to be given the opportunity to care for your furry friend. : ) I can be flexible with my schedule depending on what you and your doggie needs. If there’s a particular time that you’re looking for, feel free to let me know and we can work something out! I live in a single apartment, with a lots of room for any small or medium sized doggies. I also love runs and long walks if they’re more in the mood to be more playful
“Mario is awesome! He was very thoughtful and patient with our pets and did a great job of communicating with us while we were away. He really put us at ease. Would highly recommend 👍”

I love sitting on the floor with my own dogs and sing life away (not a very good singer but my dogs loves it) i can do the same for yours. Lol I am available full time. Monday through Friday. Saturdays available at my own discretion. If needed i can make arrangements. Although i love all dogs i could care for small to medium dogs. Life full of dogs is a wonderful beautiful life. I will provide the best care for your baby. They are our children so why not give the best for them. Working from home is boring!!

“Breanna S. is a reliable and professional dog walker. She is always punctual and ensures my dog gets a safe and enjoyable walk each time. Breanna communicates well and provides updates after every walk, which I really Breanna is a great choice for anyone looking for dependable pet care. I highly recommend her services.”
“Kate spent time with our very nervous rescue dog this past weekend. Kate is calm and sweet and she made progress with Foxy over the two days. It is hard to leave a nervous dog but we felt that Foxy was in great hands. We were so grateful for the reports and photos Kate sent. We will definitely be booking with her again.”
About: I've been taking care of cats and other small animals since before I could walk. In addition to cats (up to 4 at a time), I have owned hedgehogs, hamsters, gerbils, and frogs. I am comfortable with all rodents and reptiles. Although I've never personally owned a dog, I have been dog sitting for friends, family, and neighbors since High School, and love taking dogs for hikes/walks. If you're dog has a lot of energy and wants to get outdoors, we'll be a great match. Also, my dad keeps bees, so if that happens to be relevant, I do have limited experience in that arena - though I would need a bit of a refresher. I currently work full time, but I have a relatively flexible schedule and the ability to work from home 1-2 days per week. I am an early bird so have no problem waking up before dawn for walks/care as needed. I would follow your guidelines and rules. The pet is yours and therefore I would always honor and respect your house rules, the animal's needs, and anything else agreed to when discussing the pet sitting opportunity. Therefore, how I would care for a pet is 100% dependent on the individual circumstance. That being said, I'll be sad if you have a dog that doesn't like walks or a cat that doesn't like people (aka being pet by me)

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Highland
Amanda did a great job updating us on our pet. She made sure to send us pictures and kept up with his routine! We really appreciated her. She also made sure that on July 4 to play calming music for my pet since we were away. We will be booking her again because our pet was very comfortable with her!
Amruta is amazing! From the meet and greet I knew she would be a good fit for us. Tux was drawn to her immediately and is always so excited when she walks through the door. I have a very specific feeding routine for tux and amruta is diligent about following it. I am so happy to have found Amruta because I am now at ease when I go to work, knowing she dropping in to care for Tux. I cannot recommend her enough!
Angellina did a great job caring for our pets. We felt comfortable knowing she was there and will definitely be using her in the future. She had great communication with us throughout her drop ins and was respectful of our home. We are very grateful for her!
This was my very first time leaving my dogs with a sitter, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I have two mixed-breed pups (Dogo Argentino and Pitbull), and they can be a handful—but from the moment we met Rubina we knew we made the right choice. She was calm, confident, and genuinely loving. She was punctual every day, attentive to their needs, and went above and beyond to make sure they were comfortable, happy, and cared for. I received regular updates, photos, and messages, which made me feel completely at ease while I was away. Both of my dogs absolutely adored her—and that says a lot! It’s not easy to trust someone new with your pets, especially for the first time, but she exceeded every expectation. I came home to two relaxed, happy dogs and a spotless home. I can’t thank her enough for treating my pups like her own. If you’re looking for someone responsible, kind, and truly passionate about animals, I highly recommend her. She’s officially our go-to sitter from now on!
I was invited on a trip over Labor Day weekend at the last minute, and I was fortunate enough to find Kevin to do drop in visits with my dog and cat. He followed all of my instructions to a T and provided EXCELLENT customer service. I honestly couldn’t have picked anyone better! He was great with my dog, who is 14 years old and has a few medical issues. I was able to enjoy my trip without being worried, and I came home to my house exactly the way that I left it. I will definitely use him again in the future.

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 .

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.

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.
