About: Hi there! My name is Aubree, and I’m a true animal lover with years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, snuggles, or keeping up with special routines, I make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I am currently a college student who is trying to find a way to make some extra money throughout the weekend/week. I tend to have a lot of time gaps between classes. For walks, I adjust to each dog’s needs and energy level. Whether your pup loves a long, fast-paced walk or a slower sniff-around-the-block kind of stroll, I’ll make sure they get the exercise and fresh air they need. Safety is always my priority, so I keep a close eye on surroundings, use secure leashes, and give them my full attention throughout the walk. Of course, I’ll also send you updates and photos so you know how much fun your dog is having!

Julia was so nice and super responsive. She send the check in cards with no delay and went the extra mile to check in on Tobi in her own time because she didn’r want him to be alone for too long. I 100% recommend her to look after your fur babies!

Maureen was an awesome dog sitter! We were out of town for almost a week, and she came to fill in the gaps between when our family member would be at the house, and at work. The dogs responded really well to her! She gave them the attention that we hoped for, and made sure that all was in order. Very easy to communicate with! She sent daily photos of them, and it was so great to know they were in great hands! Highly recommend!

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and absolutely love caring for them! I have a Goldendoodle, a calico cat, and I am a mom of two guinea pigs who are six years old. I’ve cared for dogs of all personalities and regularly babysit my best friend’s dachshund. I’ve always had a huge passion for animals and even dreamed of becoming a veterinarian or marine biologist growing up. I’m responsible, patient, loving, and attentive, and I treat every pet like they’re my own! I’m a college student with classes mainly in the early morning, so I have a very flexible schedule. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting during the day, as well as overnight stays. I’m generally available on weekdays after 12 PM, except Mondays are free completely for me, and I have plenty of time to give pets the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. I always want pets to feel safe and comfortable for while their owners are away. In my home, I live in an apartment with a large, gated outdoor area where pets can safely get exercise and enjoy walks. In a client’s home, I would follow their normal routine as closely as possible. I’m also very respectful of people’s homes and will make sure everything is left clean and secure.

About: I'm a caring, responsible, and dependable pet sitter. As someone who has had pets my entire life, I understand that every pet has their own needs and personality. I have a genuine love to get to know and care for each animal as they need. I have expertise with pets of all ages and needs and can't wait to grow a bond with yours! I am currently an online student at FAU, since I take online my school work will not interfere with care. I am in the process of getting a part time job but it will only be for a few hours a day. Therefore, no animal will be left alone for more than a few hours. I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I follow the pets normal routine as normal as possible, making sure their feeding, walks, etc are as close to normal as possible. I also respect clients home while caring for their pets by keeping their space clean and tidy.

About: Hi! I’m a college student at FAU, originally from NJ. I have 2 dogs of my own (boxers) and have grown up around animals my whole life such as cats, dogs, and even reptiles! I have a dog who requires seizure medication and a senior dog with hip issues who requires medication and extra assistance from time to time. Therefore, I am experienced with making sure your pet receives any medication or any extra assistance they may need. Being so far away from my pets has been hard. I would love to take care of and meet your pets! I am currently a college student with about 1 class a day Monday-Friday. I have lacrosse on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and every once in awhile Saturdays for 2 hours. I am able to come and take care of/let out your pets anytime besides the few hours I am preoccupied. I have had experience with dogs (specifically big dogs) for the past 10 years and am well knowledged on the proper care needed. I take my dogs (2 boxers) on walks frequently and feed them/give them their medicine. I have a senior dog with hip issues who requires medication and extra assistance jumping on furniture and requires short walks. My other dog experiences seizures and is given medication daily to prevent them as well as medication to stop them when they are occurring. Besides dogs, I have a couple years of experience living with and taking care of cats. I also have grown up with reptiles!!

About: Hi! I’m America — dog mom to a very sweet goldendoodle named Monty and an all-around dog lover. If your pup stays with me, they are absolutely treated like family. I know how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your dog with someone new, so I focus on giving your pup tons of love, structure, and fun — the same way I care for Monty. Your dog will get lots of attention, potty breaks, playtime, belly rubs, enrichment, and all the cuddles they want. Monty is friendly, gentle, and LOVES meeting new dog friends, so your pup will always have a happy companion to play and relax with. 🐾❤️ I only offer boarding on the days I work from home and on weekends — which means your pup gets full attention, lots of supervision, and a relaxed, consistent routine. On my work-from-home days, I’m here all day to give your dog: • Frequent potty breaks • Lots of playtime with Monty • Regular walks • Supervised downtime • All the cuddles they want On weekends, I’m home even more, so your pup gets maximum love and activity. I don’t board on days I go into the office because I want every dog in my care to get the attention, structure, and supervision they deserve. Your dog will never be left alone for long stretches — that’s important to me as a dog mom myself. Safety is my top priority. I board dogs only on days I am home all day or weekends to ensure constant supervision, frequent potty breaks, structured walks, and a calm environment. All dogs are monitored during interactions with my own dog and given appropriate space and rest. For walks and drop-ins, I follow your dog’s established routine, use secure equipment, maintain clean food/water areas, and provide detailed updates. Your pet will always be cared for with attention, reliability, and respect.

About: As a lifelong dog lover and dog owner, I understand that pets are family. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your dog while you’re away, and I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, breeds, and personalities. As a homeowner and longtime Airbnb host, I’ve learned the importance of maintaining a clean, safe, and welcoming environment where both people and pets feel comfortable. I work remotely from home part-time, which allows me to provide a flexible schedule and plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m available Monday through Sunday for walks, drop-in visits, daycare, and boarding. I enjoy keeping dogs active with walks, playtime, enrichment activities, and lots of one-on-one attention. If your dog is social, enjoys other dogs, and you approve, I’m also happy to include visits to local dog parks such as Mizner Bark Dog Park for extra exercise and fun. Every dog is different, so I’ll always follow your pet’s routine, activity level, and any special instructions to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while in my care. I take the time to learn each dog’s unique routine, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise needs, potty breaks, and favorite activities. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout your pet’s stay or visit, so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing they’re safe, happy, and receiving plenty of love and attention. “As a fellow dog owner, I understand how reassuring regular updates are, so I’ll send photos and messages to keep you connected with your pup while you’re away.” My dog is friendly, well-socialized, and enjoys meeting other dogs. I always make introductions carefully to ensure everyone feels comfortable and safe.”

About: Ever since I was a kid, I’ve always been around animals. I love dogs and have cared for many in my neighborhood, as well as my friends dogs and my families. I update owners with texts and photos for their fur baby while making sure they’re happy and healthy in my care. Currently working from home most of the time, occasionally babysitting and my other volunteering that’s a few hours two days a week. I have a lot of free time during the daytime. I live in an apartment first floor that has a fenced in yard. My complex has a fenced in park and a 1 mile walking path through nature. I have dogs of my own that take trips to the huge fenced in town park down the street and also visit the dog beach. I do have a large crate that my puppy used during training (if your dog requires that).

Julia was great! She dropped in to let Luna out for a potty break and made sure she was taken care of while I was away. She was reliable, communicative, and gave me peace of mind knowing Luna was in good hands. I’d definitely recommend Julia and would be happy to have her help with Luna again!

Stella is the best! She’s incredibly accommodating with my crazy schedule, and with my husband being in the Navy, life is always throwing us curveballs. She has helped with everything from dog walks to checking on our two cats while we’re away. The biggest sign of how great she is? My cats absolutely love her! When she came by the other day to walk my dog, both cats ran right over to greet her. She’s reliable, caring, and wonderful with all of our pets. We will definitely continue booking her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter or dog walker. 🐾❤️

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Highland Beach

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Highland Beach on Rover is $21.4 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 5,595 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Highland Beach. 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 Beach 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 Beach. On Rover:

  • 93% 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.
