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!
About: I absolutely love dogs and have been taking care of dogs since I was 12 years old. My current dog is a 14 year old Shorkie. I have also recently raised an Australian Shepherd with my former roommate from the age of 6 months to 3 years old. Given the ages of the dogs I have cared for in the past few years, I am confident I can meet the needs of a puppy, senior dog, and any age in between! I am constantly training dogs and am always dedicated to meeting their health and energy needs! My dogs get tons of enrichment activities and treats. We are constantly hiking and going to parks. I am generally available in the summer from morning to afternoon! I am happy to have the chance to take your pup for a nice, fulfilling walk! I treat all dogs as I would my own. Any dog will get my undivided attention when I am with them. Their safety and well-being are my top priorities!
“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.”

“Daphne did a very good job taking care of my puppy . She was punctual , reliable , and timely responsive to all my inquiries. In addition, she took the cutest pictures of my puppy . I would definitely book Daphne again in the e future”

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: Ive had pets (dogs, cats, fish-oh my!) since I was very young, so I truly understand the meaning of our pets are family. My professional experience comes from the last 5 years as a marine mammal trainer and zookeeper! I have the deepest compassion for animals of all shapes and sizes, from exercise to medical care, to behavioral study…I have done all things animals! I’m currently working part time, so I have ample room in my schedule to come hang with your beloved pet! I am a very active person and would love to take them for walks if that is in their wheelhouse! I have my own sweet old lady Maltese at home, who absolutely adores her own personal space. That being said I am not currently accepting boarding or visits in my own home, but am more than happy to come to yours!
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 :)
“Kimberly did a great job taking care of our cats. She provided us with detailed information and pictures at each drop in visit which helped ease our minds while we were away. It can be tough to find a sitter that understands cats, so we were happy to connect with Kimberly!”

“Our dog was having a shy moment during Savana’s drop-in and wouldn’t go outside at first. Savana went above and beyond by coming back later and making sure our dog got out to potty. She takes great care of our dog!”

“Jennifer is fantastic, she treats our pets like her own and ensures they are well taken care of. We have been extremely happy when she assists with our pet watching needs. 😁”


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: With a large, fully fenced yard and a work-from-home schedule, I’m able to provide constant supervision, plenty of playtime, and lots of love and attention throughout the day. I have years of experience on Rover sitting hundreds of different kinds of dogs. Embracing all different breeds and personalities that they have to offer. I will make sure your dog feels at home with on time meals, a comfortable schedule, and free roam of my home they might not want to leave.
About: Hello! I live in Sussex County, NJ, and have been walking dogs since January 2025 via the Wag app. I am available for drop ins, walks, and pet sitting during the day. Since I have 2 sassy beagle-mixes of my own, I can do overnight stays with some household coordination on my end. I’m currently working part time, so have a flexible schedule! I do my best to only accept bookings where I know I’ll make it not only on time, but a few minutes early. It’s important for me to know what access or limits your pet has in your home, so I like to over communicate with pet parents so I fully understand what makes your pet happy and safe.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Highland Lakes
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.

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 .

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 Lakes 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 Lakes. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
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.
