“Timothy is absolutely amazing! I can’t recommend him enough. He takes such wonderful care of my two dogs, Tess and Nipsy, and it’s obvious how much he genuinely cares about them. They absolutely adore him and are always so excited to see him, which gives me so much peace of mind knowing they’re with someone they trust and love. Timothy is dependable, trustworthy, kind, and incredibly attentive. He treats Tess and Nipsy like they’re his own, and that means everything to me. Finding someone you can completely trust with your fur babies isn’t always easy, and I feel incredibly lucky to have found him. If you’re looking for a dog walker who is reliable, caring, and truly goes above and beyond, Timothy is your guy! Tess, Nipsy, and I give him 10/10 — five stars all the way! 🐾❤️⭐️”

About: I have grown up with animals my whole life and have cared for dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rabbits, mice and fish. My background as a Special ed teacher means that I am detail oriented and patient to ensure your pet is safe and happy while you are away ❤️ I have also included some reviews from my profile on Trusted House Sitters My name is Tom, Im from the Hudson Valley area which is 2 hours north of NYC. I received my bachelors in Childhood Education and Masters degree in Special Education from SUNY New Paltz. I am currently a Special Ed teacher in upstate NY. Before taking a sit, I would love to video chat so I can meet your animal and we can go over what is required of me during my time in your home. I am adaptable to any needs you and your pet(s) may have. I have my own personal items such as a collapsible water dish, doggie bags, treats, belt buckle leash, etc. I am also happy to use any equipment you have if you and your pup are more comfortable with that.

About: I’ve cared for animals most of my life, including regularly volunteering at local shelters and caring for two dogs and three cats of my own. I absolutely love spending time with pets and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away! I’m an active person and would be happy to take your dog on long, fun, and enriching walks, but I also love relaxing with pets, playing with them, and giving them plenty of attention and affection. I’ve cared for up to three dogs at once and am comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I’m also happy to accommodate special needs, including medications, special diets, and specific care instructions. I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own and give them the same patience, care, and love I’d want for my own pets! I am currently a part-time employee. My schedule is relatively stable but subject to change. I am unavailable at the following times due to my work schedule: Thursday and Friday 7:30am-3:00pm, and Saturday 6:30am-3:00pm I only do care at client’s homes because of my two cats at home who generally do not like other animals. I am ready to utilize client’s backyards, nearby trails, and anything else owners implement into their pet’s daily routine!

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!

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!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Highland

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Highland on Rover is $25.53 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 1,187 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
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.
