“Nyssa is AMAZING with our two cats. She is flexible, reliable and helped us with a couple last minute bookings when we had to head out of town and one of our kitties was having some bladder problems. She made us feel so comfortable and reassured the whole time we were gone. Our cats love her, and they can be very picky!!!! 10/10 recommend”
“Went above and beyond expectations. Communicated often and promptly, provided regular updates, truly cared for our kitten. Our baby came home very calm and happy to see us. Thank you Karen!”
“Sydney is the best. She takes great care of my two babies, sends lots of updates and pictures and I know they’re always happy to see her! It gives me such peace of mind when I’m away knowing she’s taking care of them”
“Emily did a great job taking care of my two cats again. My very shy cat seems quite comfortable around her. Emily also took care of the plants and kept the cat areas tidy.”
“This was our first time using Sarah & David to look in on our two cats. We have someone we normally use on Rover, but they weren't available for our requested day. Sarah & David took the time to come out and meet all of us (cats included) before accepting the job. They were both very nice and you could tell they were animal people based on the cats reception to them. They came by one day to check in, top off food, deal with the litter box and spend a little time with them while we were away. I was happy with their service and would definitely use them again in the future.”
“Margaret did an amazing job checking in on my cat. She is really enthusiastic and gave my cat lots of attention and play so that my cat wasn't lonely while I was gone. I also appreciated that Margaret promptly responded to messages and kept me up to date on how my cat was doing. I couldn't have asked for better!”
About: Your pet's comfort and happiness are my top priority, and I believe the best way to achieve that is by keeping things as familiar as possible. I stick closely to your pet's normal routine - feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any medications - so they feel safe and at ease whether you are home or away. I am reliable, attentive, and genuinely patient with all kinds of personalities. Whether your pup is high-energy and needs plenty of activity or is a more laid-back companion who just wants some quiet company, I adapt to whatever makes your pet feel most comfortable. I have a special place in my heart for senior dogs and understand the extra care and patience they require. From managing medications and limited mobility to providing gentle companionship and a calm environment, I am experienced in making older dogs feel comfortable, loved, and well looked after. Communication is something I take seriously. I know how much you love your pet, and I never want you to wonder how they are doing. You can count on regular updates and photos throughout the day so you always have peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my lifestyle. I am a freelancer who works from home with a flexible schedule, which means I am around the house throughout the day and can plan my entire routine around your pet's needs. When I am in your home, I follow your instructions carefully and treat your space and your pet with the utmost respect. My goal is simple - to make sure your furry family member feels loved, cared for, and right at home until you return. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. As a freelancer who works from home, I have the flexibility to structure my entire day around your pet's needs. Throughout the day I take regular breaks from work to check in, play, and spend quality time with any pets in my care. Your pet will never feel like an afterthought - they are always my priority. To give your pet the best possible care, I love learning as much about them as I can before we get started. Knowing their daily routine, energy level, feeding schedule, medications, and any special needs helps me make sure they feel right at home. I also like to understand their personality - how they interact with other dogs and people, any quirks or preferences, and what makes them feel safe and comfortable. The more I know about your pet, the better I can care for them the way you would
“Elizabeth was a great pet sitter during my 5-day trip to Puerto Rico. She took EXCELLENT care of my two cats while I was away. Communication was great, followed instructions extremely well, and ran into 0 issues while I was away. Not to mention, the house was nice and clean just like I left it. Lastly, she even helped with feeding my little gold fish daily while I was gone. Can’t recommend Elizabeth enough. Thank you and until next time!”
“This was my first time using Rover and getting a cat sitter. Katherine was so great through this process. She definitely cared for my babies as if they were her own. I would love to book her again!”
About: What sets me apart is my background as an experienced veterinary technician. I can confidently care for senior pets, administer medications (including injections), recognize early signs of illness, and provide skilled, compassionate care for pets with special medical needs.

“Very straightforward and kind, I love all the photos and updates she sent!! Consistent and reliable and kind despite my ever changing last minute schedule”
“Anna was amazing! The cat food had ants while I was away and she cleaned the area as well as brought her own cat foot to replenish the food bowl. My cats were very thankful by the looks of the cute photos she sent me during my trip. 10/10 recommend, thank you Anna! ♥️”
“Denise is the best ever! She took such good care of my little old lady when I was gone for a much needed mental health break. We came home to a tidy house and a happy kitty! She sent a ton of photos and I knew my gal was in good hands!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs ever since I can remember growing up I had boxer, pit bull terrier mix, and border collie retriever mix. I can provide a safe and loving environment for all of your fur baby's needs. From pet sitting to short or long walks i’ve got experience with it all. I’m currently a full time student but have the flexibility of being completely online. I’m available mostly anytime for services throughout the week. Please message me to double check my availability before booking. I'd love to take care of your fur babies how ever you need. Making sure they are in a safe & loving environment is my top priority.
“Adriana is the best, y'all. Communicative, professional, reliable, and so sweet with my two cats. She clearly put a lot of love and care into the visits and did not skimp on play time during our week-long trip. I couldn't recommend her more to anyone looking for a caring soul to look after their pets. We will definitely be booking with her whenever we can.”
About: My wife Camila and I love animals and we have a big spacious home for your four legged family members!! I’ve personally taken care of over 50 dogs and cats over the past two years with my Roomate. This is our new personal account. I work from home so I adapt to their routine and love taking them out and keeping them company. Regular trips to the yard and walks around the neighborhood. My wife is also at the house and we take turns giving them lots of care. They are always with me on the same level of the house. I keep a close eye on them and play with them plenty! The house has AC so they’ll always be comfortable.
“Lidrona was awesome and provided daily photo and video updates. The next time I go out of town Doom will be staying with her. I also booked last minute and she was incredibly accommodating and flexible. Thank you again!”
“Avery = Awesome! She house-sat with two (cats) of our four animal crew and also stepped up to feed and watch over the community cats that I feed each day. It all happed with ease. I felt I could travel worry-free, which is rare! Communication was timely, helpful and respectful. Highly recommend!”
“Thank you, Corinne. I felt really comfortable leaving Tala in your care. You offered to help within minutes of the request. And took plenty of pictures. The holidays are hectic so I am grateful you were available to help”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Highland Park
Lindsey is extremely communicative and helped me feel so at ease while I was away from my pets. She cared for my 3 cats for a weekend, and was sure to send pictures every day, let me know when she would be arriving and leaving, and went above and beyond for us. I will definitely be hiring again.
Eileen was amazing! My cat immediately took a liking to her at the meet and greet, and I felt at ease knowing she was being taken care of by someone who not only loves cats, but has years of experience with her own. Eileen was super communicative, sent tons of photos (and even a bonus video!), and kept me updated on my chatty, playful little girl all weekend. She gave Manu so much attention and affection, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I’d ask her back any time.
Ella took wonderful care of my two cats, and I’m so grateful for her help. She made the experience feel easy and reassuring, and I felt comfortable knowing my cats were in good hands. I’d happily recommend Ella to anyone looking for someone caring to look after their pets!
We absolutely love Camille! She genuinely cares about our cat and goes above and beyond to make sure everything is taken care of. We have been using her for years and trust her completely with both our cat and our home, which gives us such peace of mind when we're away. She's punctual, tidy, communicative, and thoughtful. If anything comes up, she asks questions rather than making assumptions, which we really appreciate. It's clear that she takes her responsibilities seriously and truly cares about the animals she looks after. We couldn't ask for a better sitter and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust completely with their pets and home!
Alyce took great care of our cat while we were away! She came by the day before to meet him and go through the instructions. She was on time for every visit and did everything we asked. She was very communicative throughout and always updated us with pictures. Our cat can be shy but it looked like he warmed up to Alyce. We will book with Alyce again the next time we go away.
We love having Aries nearby to pop in to feed and hang out with our dog Yukon and our cat Ophelia. They are reliable, stick around to spend time with them and give them attention, and send updates with pictures. Their care is much appreciated and the pets love them!
Skylah is absolutely amazing! She has taken care of my two cats for me many times now, and she is always someone I know I can count on!! She communicates so well, keeps me updated, and I always feel at ease knowing my cats are being fed, cared for, and getting some love and attention while I’m away. I’m so grateful to have found someone so reliable and caring! I would absolutely recommend her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Highland Park is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $42 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 2,708 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Highland Park. 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 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 Meet & Greet.

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 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.
