About: Aside from growing up with two dogs throughout their puppy and elderly stages of life, I have lots of experience with animals that are not my own. I have a passion for caring for animals of all kinds—to the point where I consider the squirrels that come to my college dorm window my friends! I love helping out the pet owners in my community and often volunteer to watch dogs for free, just because I enjoy it. I have lots of experience with dogs that have special needs (i.e. injuries or medicine), and I take the responsibility of pet care seriously. I approach all animals with the same love and care as if they were my own, and i understand uniquely how worried we can get about our pets when we’re away. Part of my petsitting M.O. is frequent updates (especially photos) to give owners peace of mind. I have a special place in my heart for dogs, but am a lover of all animals and have experience with cats and bunnies as well. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends! I am a college junior currently at home for summer break. I will be taking two vacations in the next few months, but other than that my schedule allows for extremely open and flexible hours! I approach all pets with gentleness and respect, and i make sure to provide ample time for them to get used to my presence before interactions. I follow instructions thoroughly, so detail there is always appreciated, and I like to be in consistent contact with owners in case there are questions, concerns, or updates. I understand strangers can be nerve wracking for pets and their parents, so I do my very best to earn trust and be patient!
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.
“Alexander is incredibly reliable, kind and helpful in taking care of Skipper. He goes above and beyond in making sure that our older dog is consistently given walks, meals and even an insulin shot”
About: I have experience taking care of dogs and cats for families and friends, I know how to read body language and know when I've crossed boundaries. I always have patience for animals. I'm working part time so I have a lot of time available to work with pets, check in on them, and stay with them if needed. I am totally available for overnights, I'm a night owl so I can always check in with a pet and take care of them.
About: I have spent many years caring for dogs and I pride myself on building trust, providing excellent care, and treating every pet like they’re family. I have a very flexible schedule, allowing me to provide dependable care throughout the week. Animal care is a true passion of mine and I am committed to giving every pet the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. I understand the importance of trusting someone with your pet and home. I am reliable, responsible, and committed to providing safe, professional care while keeping your pet comfortable and happy in their own home.
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)
About: I have had a dog growing up my whole life. I currently do not have any pets of my own but I watch my families pets. I love to have the company of pets and treating them like my own. I am a teacher working full time. During the week i am only available after 3 pm. I get home in the afternoon and am home for the night. I get home early in the day and will hang out with your pet all night. I love coming home and going for walks. I am very reliable and will send you lots of pictures of your pets while they are in my care.
About: I grew up around animals, from birds and hermit crabs to cats and dogs, my household has always been filled with pets. I have also fostered medically fragile dogs and volunteered at the Westchester Humane Society. I am passionate about ensuring all animals receive the best possible care and I will give your pet the same love I give my own. I currently work part time and I’m a full time grad student, but I have my own transportation so my schedule is open and flexible. I will schedule a meet and greet with you and your pet to learn all about their unique quirks, likes, dislikes, and routines prior to beginning services with them. I ensure a safe environment by using non-retractable leashes on walks and will send you updates while I am with your pet. Your pet's safety is my top priority.
“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.”

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 actually just graduated from university, but 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 on campus, with a decently sized room for any small or medium sized doggies, and there is a fenced in track behind my building/apartment if they wanna just run around with me for a while.
About: I know how stressful it can be leaving your pet behind, so my goal is to make the experience as smooth and comfortable as possible—for both you and your pet. I’m calm, attentive, and great at sticking to routines. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or somewhere in between, I provide a safe, loving environment they can relax in. I currently am a student from home so I have more than enough time to take care of your furry companion while you are away. I used to walk my dog around my neighborhood sometimes to the river If it’s really nice out just get her some fresh air. Proper feeding times and bathroom breaks.
“So grateful we found Stefanie! Super sweet, communicative, and thoughtful. Our very shy cats came out for her which is rare for them with people they don’t know. Will definitely book again :)”
“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 👍”
About: I have 2 pet cats that are my everything, and been pet sitting my first cat since I was 12! For about 7 years, I've pet sat for multiple people including friends and family. The animals include cats, dogs, and birds. I have done drop-in visits as well as overnight shifts and dog walking. I would love to pet sit for your fur babies and give them lots of love and care. My pets are my world, so I would treat your pets the same!!! I am taking graduate classes at Marist University Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday starting at 5pm. I work from 8:30-1 pm Monday-Thursday and I am available to pet sit the weekends, as well as the week days in between work and class:) I will give your fur baby unlimited attention as well as efficient care. I can take them out on walks, feed them as needed, clean during potty breaks, brush them as needed, and give them lots and lots of love!!!
About: Volunteer with Guiding Eyes for socialization of 2month old puppies in my home in the past. Have 30 yrs + experience with my own rescue dogs. Now down to 1 senior dog who cannot walk long distances. Looking for new walking buddies! Retired and looking for new opportunities mostly during the week. Have volunteer work also, so prefer morning walks at this time; can come to you or you can drop off. I believe dogs thrive on exercise and daily walks; also great time to continue training and encourage obedience. Most dogs love to work out and be with their humans outside.
The median cost per visit for dog sitting in Highland is $25
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.

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 .

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.

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.
