About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life! I have professional experience working in kennels and pet resorts, where I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I’m comfortable caring for everything from energetic puppies to senior pets who may need a little extra patience and attention. I have experience with feeding, walking, playtime, cleaning, administering oral/topical medications, and following each pet’s individual routine and care instructions. I’m also comfortable caring for multiple pets at once. I have pets of my own, so I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your fur babies. ❤️ I treat every pet I care for with the same love, patience, and attention I would want for my own. Whether your pet loves cuddles, playtime, long walks, or just having someone nearby, I’m happy to adjust to what makes them most comfortable. Big or small, young or old — every fur baby deserves to feel safe, loved, and cared for while their family is away. 🐶🐱❤️ I work part time and have days off. I can come over when your pet wants to play or have a nice walk. I can also stay with your pets for long periods of time. I don’t have a fenced yard but I do have a big yard for play and walks. I have a big home to roam around in and two children that can play with pets also if you as the owner are okay with that.

“Josh was amazing with ly little and big men. My terrier doesnt like any males.....but Josh won him over. It was comforting seeing how they adapted so well to him and how he actually played with them. He is amazing with both my German shephard and my terrier.

About: I am almost done with my CVA, which has given me hands on experience with animal care and a strong understanding of animal behavior, basic health needs, and how to recognize when a pet may be stressed, uncomfortable, or need extra attention. I’m very attentive to routines like feeding schedules, medications, potty breaks, exercise, and any specific care instructions you have for your pet. I also volunteered at a horse rescue for 6 years, which has helped me become even more patient and comfortable working with animals that all have different personalities and needs. Whether your pet is a playful puppy who needs consistency and extra energy or an older pet who needs a gentler approach, I’m confident in providing calm, dependable care and making sure they feel comfortable while you’re away! Pet care is already a big part of my everyday routine. I currently attend CVA school and as of right now im doing the externship part, I will be done early October! Outside of school, I’m available the rest of the day and can realistically spend most, if not all, of my time with your pet. I also care for my own animals every day, including my dogs, cat, and reptiles—a snake, bearded dragon, turtle, and leopard gecko—so feeding, walking, playtime, bathing, cleaning cages, and keeping their spaces clean are all part of my normal routine. My entire day is basically centered around animals between school and caring for my own pets, so pet sitting fits very naturally into my life. I care for pets with a lot of attention, and fun! I usually feed my pets at the same time every day and follow a schedule, but I keep it flexible so it works for each pet’s needs. I give dry food and simple medications like NexGard but, I also have experience handling special diets and other medications.     Playtime happens whenever pets seem bored or want to go outside. I have lots of toys, treats, and fun activities inside, and I enjoy running with dogs outside or taking them on car rides. I also do some basic training for fun, though I’m not a professional trainer.   I keep spaces clean and comfortable, cages and tanks are cleaned regularly, puppy pads are replaced, and everything is wiped down with disinfectant as needed. Pets have their own quiet areas, toys, and treats to feel calm and safe. I’m very observant of their behavior, so I can notice when something feels off.    Pets aren’t left alone for long, except when I’m at school for a few hours. I’m used to managing multiple pets at once by keeping a close eye on everyone and giving each animal their own space when needed. My home is very clean, and I constantly sweep, mop, and vacuum.    Overall, I make sure pets are happy, safe, and comfortable, and I treat them as part of my family giving lots of love, attention, and care every day.

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was little as 11 years old. I had two dogs growing up and two cats growing up. I also had a ball python in high school and love reptiles! I currently work from 7:30 am to 4:00 pm Monday through Friday with an hour for lunch at 11:30 pm. I have the ability to switch my lunch hour and work from home three days a week! This is perfect if you are looking for a house sitter as I can hang out with your animals throughout the day while working from my laptop! I currently live in an apartment complex and unfortunately cannot house other furry friends. However, I am willing to come to you instead! I am a happy cat owner :)

“Alexis was absolutely amazing with Mocca! She was incredibly caring, attentive, and loving, and we could tell Mocca felt so comfortable with her. She always kept us updated and sent us pictures during every visit, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Mocca and gave her so much love and attention. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely book with Alexis again. Highly recommend her! 🐾❤️”

About: Multiple pets growing up. I've had the meanest and shyest animals loving me in a couple days. Military veteran who was taking care of many humans as if they were children/pets. I'm great for if you need to take a weekend trip or short term vacation. !!After 5 days my rate does go up!! My calendar is open for 3 months from the current day. If you need to reserve me for later than that, there will be a reservation charge($50/month past open calendar) . I prefer a planned ahead booking but it doesn't hurt to check last second with me. I'll always try to help if I can! I get along with all animals every day. I am excited to help you take care of your doggo. I follow instructions to the T. Your pet is very important to you and I will make sure they are comfortable/safe. They will be a happier puppy when you see them next!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Highland City

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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 .

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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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 sitter.
