“Katie has been great with Indie, communicates very well, and is on time and flexible with our dynamic schedule needs so we are thankful to have found her and plan on making her our regular walker for the foreseeable future.”
“Thank you Ashley. Maisie was so much calmer after your long walk and plenty of attention. I love the pictures you took! Highly recommend for anyone in the area looking for trustworthy care.”
“Madison took care of both of our dogs while we were staying at Claytor Lake State Park. She came over twice during the day and even did a meet and greet the night before. She loves dogs and took great care of our Penny and Lucy. We would definitely use her again and would recommend her to anybody. One of our dogs is human-shy and she warmed up right away to Madison!”
About: Some of my pet experience includes bathing dogs, taking care of dogs for friends, having my own dog who i care for, and loving all animals. I’ve trained my dog to for certain commands which i believe is very helpful. All my friends come to me when they need someone to take care of their fur babies! I am a college student with a work load, however no job. A lot of my days are spent in my home doing homework and pet care fits into my schedule because I can always be there to play and take you pets out. I don’t have very long classes either or in a big stretch so your pay would be cared for almost 24/7 I care for pets as if they were my children haha! In my home, I have bowls, treats, and toys for your pets. In your home, I would respect the space and take care of your pet as if it were my own.
About: I'm a third-year veterinary student who is home for the summer offering multiple pet care services. Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember — I started pet sitting when I was 12 and have been lucky to care for so many wonderful pets over the years. I have experience with dogs, cats, small mammals, horses and cows. Studying veterinary medicine has only deepened my passion for making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and cared for like family. As a veterinary student, I feel comfortable working with pets who have special needs and medical care. I am familiar with giving medication to both dogs and cats. I’m passionate about providing knowledgeable care tailored to each pet’s individual needs. I’m currently in 4th year rotations for vet school so my schedule can get busy but I do have availability most evenings and weekends. I do not have the capabilities to house a pet at my home but I am willing to accommodate all of the owners needs in their home.
About: I have cared for my two 9-year old dogs since they were only a couple months old, so I’m comfortable with every stage from wild puppy energy to the slower, gentler needs of senior dogs. Over the years, I’ve handled sickness, medications, picky eating, and even giving IV fluids, so when it comes to pets who need more attention or special care, I am calm, confident, and capable. I also genuinely love getting outdoors and going on long walks, so active pets will get plenty of exercise and fresh air. My dogs mean the world to me, and I will 100% bring that same patient, loving, reliable energy to every pet I look after. You won't ever have to doubt that your animals will be treated with all the affection, consistency, and comfort they deserve. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine. I only have classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and I don’t work another job, so I’m fully available on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and weekends. That means I have plenty of time and flexibility to give your pets all the attention, walks, and care they need. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m more than happy to spend the whole day with them. I’m fully available most days and can even do my online classes from your home so your pet has company, comfort, and consistency. I love taking dogs on long walks, keeping them active, and giving them plenty of attention throughout the day. I can also stay overnight if needed. I’m big on keeping each pet’s routine exactly the same. Same feeding schedule, same walk times, same habits they’re used to. I’m very detail‑oriented and great at following instructions, especially since I’ve handled everything from puppy care to senior needs, medications, picky eating, and even IV fluids with my own dogs. Your pet will get steady, loving care and feel completely safe with me.
About: Hi there! My name is Kaitlyn and I have experience with everything from horses, to wolf-dogs, down to cockatoos and fish! I live a pretty active lifestyle, and love taking my guy out for runs and adventuring/hiking around the area. I would love to go exploring with your pups! I absolutely adore animals and treat them all with the utmost respect. I have experience with both puppies as well as senior dogs and have been around animals all my life. I started young with family pets and have recently within the past 4 years gotten one of my own! I own a Husky, German Shepherd/Malamute who's my big ole baby Potato! He's absolutely my whole life and if you can imagine it wasn't easy finding someone who was able to watch him without the help of Rover, which is why I wanted to also contribute and try and help others out because it's saved me in a bind or two! I don't mind larger dogs or high energy as my guy is the same way! I'd love to meet you and your pup, what girl can resist a couple of good boys?! I currently work part time with my grandparents taking care of them in their golden years so my hours are flexible and I’m happy to help out whenever I can, and will guarantee you a quick response! I currently do not offer care in my home, however, I would love to come to yours! I am very conscious of other people's homes and how comfortable your pets will be in the safety of their own space!
About: What truly sets me apart as a pet sitter is my lifelong love for animals and the deep-rooted experience that comes from growing up surrounded by them. From a young age, I’ve cared for a variety of pets—big and small—which taught me not only responsibility but how to connect with animals on a personal level. Over the years, I’ve become the go-to sitter for friends, family, and others who have reached out, trusting me to care for their pets as if they were my own. My approach is always compassionate, attentive, and tailored to each animal’s unique needs, providing both pets and their people with comfort and peace of mind. As a graduate student, I have a flexible and well-structured schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to pet sitting. I can be available for regular visits, walks, feedings when needed. Pet sitting brings me joy and a sense of balance. It’s a meaningful way for me to stay active, reduce stress, and do something I genuinely love alongside my studies. I care for pets with plenty of affection, playtime, and a calm, structured routine that helps them feel secure while away from their owners. When caring for pets at a client’s home, I make sure to follow their established routines closely, keeping things consistent and stress-free. I always communicate clearly with pet parents, provide updates, and treat every animal with the same care and respect I give my own.
About: Hi there! My name is Lacy, I've taken care of all different shapes and sizes of pets since I was very young. I worked at a doggy day care for a year, as well as a dog walking company in Los Angeles where I took 5-6 dogs at a time for walks/hikes. I have some experience with simple obedience training, such as proper leash manners and basic commands like sit, stay, wait & come. I will be happy to take your dogs on walks or hikes, I'm also happy to take care of cats, birds, rabbits, hamsters, reptiles, etc. Let me know if I can help! Thanks! I currently work part time and I’m in my third semester of nursing school, currently taking online classes. My schedule varies from month to month but I will gladly help care for your fur babies whenever I can! My current living situation isn’t set up for me to keep pets at my home but I would love to take care of them in their own environment where they already feel comfortable and are familiar with the area!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 366 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 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 a map of the walking route, 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 Rover Guarantee, 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Highland. On Rover:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
