“Jeremy was very communicative and helpful in taking care of two strays that we recently took in. Getting them inside for the night can be a challenge but Jeremy was persistent in making sure they were fed and safe.”
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. I treat every pet as if they were my own and prioritize building trust with both pets and their families through dependable, personalized care. I’m currently providing pet care full-time, which means I have the flexibility to give your furry family member the time, attention, and personalized care they deserve. Whether they need companionship, playtime, medication, or extra TLC, I’m committed to providing compassionate, skilled care while you’re away. When caring for your pet in their own home, I strive to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I’ll provide plenty of love, attention, playtime, exercise, fresh food and water, medication if needed, and lots of affection.

About: I've always had a deep love for animals and have been caring for pets since I was a young child. Over the years, I've gained hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, temperaments, and sizes. I'm patient, attentive, and truly enjoy building bonds with every pet I care for. Your fur baby's happiness, comfort, and safety are always my top priorities. I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pet. As a dog mom myself, pet care is already a part of my everyday routine. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, daycare, and overnight care depending on your pet’s needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow the routine and instructions you provide, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special care needs. I use secure leashes and harnesses during walks and pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and comfort level. I’ll treat your pet and your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own.
“Kenya was wonderful. She accepted a last min request and showed up to hang with my pup Sadie despite the rain. She was friendly and Sadie took to her immediately. I’ll definitely be booking Kenya again. Highly recommend!”
“This is our second time having Brandi coming to check on the cats. She is responsive and my cats love her. Definitely will be booking again when we’re away, thank you Brandi!”
“Second time I’ve hired Lori to take care of our cat who is on a regiment of medications for his cancer. Lori puts my mind at ease with her excellent communication and consistent care. Thank you again!”
“It was lovely to have Aries and Inwoo as sitters for Sunny while we were away for 2 weeks. They were very patient with Sunny, took the time to give her treats and replace her food/water bowls, and gave Sunny lots of playtime. We noticed that Sunny naturally warmed up to both very quickly and eagerly awaited every day for the drop-in visits. The best part was they clicked many cute pics and videos of our baby while we were away. That, undoubtedly, helped us be assured that Sunny is well taken care of. We appreciated the thorough professional communication and they kindly watered our home plants :) We were delighted to have Aries and Inwoo as sitters and would love to have them cat-sit Sunny again in the future.”
“Sofia was very communicative and attentive. I loved all the photos and updates and was able to enjoy my trip more knowing the boys were well taken care of. Thank you Sofia!”
“Emily is such an amazing pet sitter. I had not needed to use her services for several months so when I reached out to book, she took the initiative to ask if anything had changed since she last checked on my cat, which I really appreciated. She also always sends the cutest photos.”
“Liana was a wonderful cat sitter! She stopped by every day to check on our cat, made sure she was well-fed and happy, and gave her plenty of attention. We came home to a calm and content cat. Always a great sign. Reliable, communicative, and caring. Highly recommend!”

“Sara is the best!!! She is such a thoughtful and considerate cat sitter. Our foster cats have opened up even more under her care while we're out of town. It's comforting to know they have someone so loving with great attention to detail looking after them. Thank you Sara!”
“Kimberly is the best. She is so kind and is always so great with Tarzan. And always on time! I would recommend her for any one looking for a great pet sitter!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Highland Park
My two Maine Coons, Starburst and Greywolf, who are brothers, are currently 13 years old. These cats have always had a family friend watch them since they were 10 weeks old, so you can imagine my trepidations when my friend said she was going to be out of town when I needed her. Aries did a most amazing job. One of my cats is super shy, but she managed to get him out from behind the chair and played with him. The other cat is Mr. Friendly and she had him on her lap. I saw these miracles as Aries sent me several photos of the cats and her magical work with them. I highly, highly recommend Aries.
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.
Tamara was an amazing sitter and was so kind to respond to a last minute request! My usually-shy cat was quick to come out of hiding and play with her after meals, which made me extremely happy to see 🥹 Tamara took such good care of her and made sure all my cat’s little eating and care habits were met! Thank you again!!

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Highland Park on Rover is $26.64 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of September 2026, there are 9,394 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 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.

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.
