About: I have been walking an awesome dog almost daily, he is a very energetic and adorable 8 year old Pitbull/Boxer/Rhodesian Ridgeback rescue mix named Chewy and I have loved every minute. He has taught me how important it is that dogs get their daily walks and experience adventure! Looking to help other pet owners give their dog a hopeful moment in their day by getting outside - rain or shine! I’m currently working part-time, and I am incredibly flexible. I have a very reliable, pet friendly, Subaru that can drive in any weather. I am the type of person that you can text me an hour before and I will be there! Always happy to help in a pinch. I respect all spaces and homes the same. I understand owning pets can be messy and I’m not afraid to step up and help calm the storm however I can. I do not mind showing up to a home to help care for a pet, happy to help in any way I can!

Meghan took such great care of our cat and fish while we were away for a week. It was the first time she has sat for us and we are very happy with how it went. She gave thorough updates and sent lots of pictures which we really appreciated. She spent time giving our cat extra attention and affection which was such a comfort to us. She successfully got him to take his pills and liquid medication which can be a challenge sometimes. She definitely has good attention to detail and noticed that he had a preference for one flavor of food and ate it with the medication more easily, something we hadn’t even noticed! She followed all our directions perfectly and is a great communicator. She really put us at ease and we would definitely have her sit for us again! Thanks so much Meghan!!

We hired Tiffany to take care of our 3 cats once a day. And we could not be happier. She was so nice, followed all our care instructions and truly cared about our pets. She sent pictures, and updates everyday. And when we came home, the place was in perfect condition. We will def be hiring Tiffany again.

About: Animals have always had my heart. I provide one on one care because I understand that being away from home can be stressful for some dogs. My goal is to make every boarding experience feel safe, loving, and as seamless as possible. With many years of experience caring for dogs, I tailor my care to each pet's individual needs and routine. I work from home and create my own schedule, giving me the flexibility to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and personalized care throughout the day. I live in a townhouse in a quiet, friendly gated community with plenty of safe sidewalks and green space for enjoyable walks. I love taking pups on walks and spending time outdoors whenever their owners approve. If your dog uses wee wee pads, I'm happy to accommodate that as well. And if they're used to sleeping in bed with you, they're welcome to cuddle up with me too! I only care for one family's dog(s) at a time, allowing me to give your pet my full attention in a calm, low-stress environment. Every dog is treated like family: with patience, kindness, and lots of love. I'd love to meet you and your pup! Let's schedule a meet and greet to make sure it's the perfect fit and ensure your dog's stay is comfortable, happy, and stress-free. 💗 I make my own schedule and work from home. I have the time to care for your pet one on one and give them the attention they deserve. I love taking the animals for walks and getting them out in nature if permitted. I have a nice yard for them to sunbathe and get fresh air. If you require wee wee pads, I can accommodate that as well. Your Dog is welcome to sleep In the bed with me, if parents allow that. I treat all of my dogs like they’re my own and like they are family. 💓 Let's schedule a meet and greet and get your boarding process seamlessly started!

About: I’ve been taking care of pets my entire life, and my family and friends look to me if they need me to dog sit (or pet sit) when they’re away or unavailable. I love animals, and so getting to take care of furry friends is an absolute treat!! I’m currently attending college, so monday and wednesday mornings im out of the house from 8-12. any other time, if given enough notice, i can be available for you and your pets! I live in a family home with my dog daisy, who is very friendly and about 14 years old now. She never fails to be entertained, and I love her with all my heart. I will do the same for your pets :)

We were so lucky finding Kim - she’s a gem! From the first meet and greet, we felt comfortable and trusted her with our 2 cats. Every day we got updates full of information, photos and details. She followed our instructions exactly to the letter. We will rest assured with Kim next time we go away!

Brenda and Francis went above and beyond! They understood my needs and those of my fur babies and soon became friends with two of them. I had warned Brenda the other cat had been feral and does not do well under stress and would most likely hide under the bed and not make an appearance. She made sure she left her cat food every day where she would find it and the boys would not eat it. She left her kitty treats every day for her to find. Of course, the boys needed no coaxing! She sent me pictures every day. I would book her again in an instant!

I get many photos of all my fur babies. I can finally relax when I go places knowing Savana is coming. I definitely Recommend Savana!

About: I have taken care of family animals my entire life & foster failed with my rescue 7 years ago. I am comfortable with dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes! I am happy to do a meet and greet to make sure we are a good match :) I work fully remote so I am available all day to either host day care or sit in your home! I can provide frequent walks, potty breaks, and 1:1 supervision. In / from your home I will provide long walks in nearby parks / the sidewalk, play catch, and explore. If you have a fenced in yard or common area and prefer your doggo play there, that’s great as well

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with a passion for caring for pets of all kinds. I’ve had animals my entire life, so I understand just how much they mean to you, they’re family! At home, I have a sweet Pomeranian named Pebbles and two cats, Timon and Goose, who keep life fun and full of love. Caring for them has given me hands-on experience with different personalities, needs, and routines. When you trust me with your pet, you can feel confident knowing they’ll be treated like one of my own. I’m patient, attentive, and committed to making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feeding, or just extra cuddles, I’m here to provide reliable and loving care every step of the way. I am currently working part time but will be full time in September. I will be available weekday nights and all day on the weekends. Spacious living space that is comfortable for any cat or dog. The backyard is unfenced on one side; however, it is outlined with trees and other barriers.

About: Hey there Dog parents! I have been around animals starting at a very young age. So basically im obsessed with them. I was always the designated trainer for the new pups. And im pretty good at it. Whenever visiting family or friends you can always find me with the dogs. Family and friends have always trusted me with their furry family members. Wether your on vacation or simply your day is overloaded, I'm happy to offer my services to ease your day! Getting an early start on the day during the week with your pups in the morning works with my schedule. If early morning doesn't work with you, I'm also available late afternoon during the week. My schedule isn't firm so if you have any special requests, I would love to work with you and figure something out! I will always put your fur baby’s needs first. Watching their body language is something that I always look out for. Making you and your pup comfortable is what I strive for.

About: Hello! We’re Chris and Melissa, and we’d love to welcome your pup into our home! 🐾 We’re a dog-loving family with two friendly dogs of our own and a two-year-old, so we’re a great fit for pups who are comfortable around children and other dogs. We have a fully fenced yard in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood, and someone is always home, so your dog will get plenty of attention and won’t be left alone for long stretches.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs all of my life, and grown up with them since the day I was born. I’ve never not had a dog, my childhood dog lived to be 16 years. I’m here to do what I love and be able to spend my time with all of your fur babies Im flexible I walk dogs while being able to finish school, I do this Monday through Friday and I’m looking to get more overnight sits for the weekends I care for every animal as if they are my own they will be as equally as spoiled as they would in their own home. The safety of your animal is not in question with me because I understand how much we worry about our animals when they aren’t able to be with us.

Amazing Meghan! She went above and beyond for our elderly cat. He has some issues and she took care of him and our property exceptionally well. Cleaned up after him and was prompt for stop ins. Lots of pictures, which eased our minds. I will definitely be requesting her again.

This is the first time I have left my boys in the care of someone other than family and I couldn’t be happier. Ashley was not only quick to respond (which is important to me) , but also left me with such peace of mind. She sent me pictures and went the extra step to make sure I felt comfortable. I highly recommend her.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Highland Lakes on Rover is $8.56 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 Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 1,526 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Highland Lakes. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Highland Lakes. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.

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.
