“Kenya is amazing! She is extremely patient with all 3 of my dogs, each with very different personalities. My 2 younger pups are anxious and skiddish with new people yet they were very receptive with her. She allowed them to go to her somehow managed to keep them calm. Will definitely be booking her for housesitting as I know they will be in good hands!”
“Tracey was great! The key I left was not working causing the scheduled walk time to go over the scheduled 30 min. She didn’t leave until Hud was still taken care of. Thank you!”
“Sheetal is awesome. She’s great with our dog and really easy to work with. Our dog loves her and we’re so happy our dog is in her care!! Incredibly responsive and easy to communicate with.”
About: I have experience with all kinds of pets. I grew up with a big dog, so I have experience walking, feeding, and playing with sizable dogs. My childhood dog was well trained, so I’m used to using commands with dogs. I’ve previously pet-sit for small dogs as well over a range of ages. Although I haven’t had a dog of my own for several years, many people in my life have dogs so they’re still a part of my life. I currently have a cat, so I am also very familiar with cat care. I just love all kinds of pets! I currently work from home as a freelance artist, so my schedule is very open and I have plenty of time to care for and play with pets! I have experience with animals of all sizes so I feel confident in my ability to wrangle any pups. I also have experience crating small dogs.
“Emily was a phenomenal walker!! She was always great with communication and amazing with my pup! She gave detailed updates after each walk and was so flexible with my rotating schedule! You can tell that she really loves animals and cares for them as if they were her own :) Highly recommend her!”
“Alexandra is great dog walker, I’m so glad we found her. We recently adopted a shelter dog for my MIL who was an owner surrender, so we wanted her to have a little extra love. She and Alexandra became fast friends😊”
“Angelique communicates, so far she has been on time, and our dog Leaha comes back tired this is the second she's taken Leaha for a walk, so far Angelique is working out well.”
“Lori was great at communicating. She was sweet with our dog, Zara, and Zara seemed to like her. We had hired her for a walk, and we look forward to using her to stay with Zara at a future date.”
About: Hi, I'm Izzy, a life long dog lover. I was lucky enough to grow up with two chocolate labs, Charlie Brown and Hodgepodge and am currently raising Kayla, a senior rescue dog. Kayla came into my life reactive and anxious, but I have proudly helped her grow into a relaxed and confident dog who can play nicely with other dogs. I have years of part time dog walking under my belt and can work with dogs of all sizes, ages and temperaments. I'm active and energetic so ready to take your dog on long walks through parks and hilly streets! My schedule is super flexible so I'm happy to work around you and your desired walk times. I can also stay over at your place for overnight dog sitting. I am organized, bright and detail oriented, so if you give me instructions for care in your home, I'm on it. I have experience with senior dogs (administering pills, etc), reactive dogs, and puppies. Above all, I am clean, caring and respectful to all people and animals!
About: Growing up I have had a total of 9 dogs and all of them stole a piece of my heart. I would love to the opportunity to spend time with your dog because they sincerely make me happy. I work from home and have a 1 bedroom apartment in Highland park with an enclosed grassy area and a few nearby parks. A day with me would probably involve working from home, going to the park, running errands around town, hanging out at home or all of the above. I will care for your fur baby like I would my own, with lots of love. Since I work from home with a flexible schedule, pet care is integrated seamlessly into my day, allowing me to give dogs the attention and care they need. I can easily fit in multiple walks, play sessions, and bathroom breaks throughout the day, making sure their routine stays consistent. Being home all day means I’m always nearby to offer companionship, comfort, and attention, so they’ll never feel alone. This flexibility also lets me closely monitor their behavior and adjust care as needed, whether they’re feeling energetic and ready for play or need some downtime to rest. Plus, since I'm always around, I can respond quickly to any needs or changes that arise, ensuring they feel safe and cared for at all times. I live in a one-bedroom cozy apartment with my small dog Scruff. We have a fenced in grass area for potty breaks. :) I can crate your dog if needed as well.
About: Hi, I’ve grown up around dogs and cats and have experience walking, feeding, cleaning up after them, and caring for them responsibly. I always make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well looked after. I am currently attending continuation school, so I have flexible hours and availability throughout the week for dog walking, check-ins, feeding, pet-sitting and pet care. I make sure pets are cared for by following their usual routine and what the owner’s instructions are. In a client’s home, I can provide feeding, walks, playtime, check-ins, companionship, pet-sitting and cleaning up after pets while respecting instructions.
“Maggie is wonderful with my dog! She is very responsive to messages and requests, and always leaves very thoughtful notes about her time with my dog and their walks. She is responsible, trust worthy and very kind with my dog. I highly recommend her services, and my dog loves her!”

Calm, gentle, and reliable will make your fur baby so comfy they won't notice you were gone for long— I treat your pets like if they where my loved one! I have flexible availability for drop-ins, house sitting for long periods. Most of my time is spent caring for your fur baby making sure they are comfy in your absence. Pet care isn’t just a side job—it’s my calling. Your pets will get patient, loving attention every time I prioritize calm, safe environments for every pet I care for. In client homes, I follow all routines, feeding, and medication instructions with care and precision. I’m experienced with shy pets, seniors, and animals needing extra patience. You’ll receive regular photo updates and detailed check-ins. My goal is to make sure your pets feel secure, happy, and loved while you’re away.
“Jana was awesome helping to walk Fela while I was gone. She communicated on arrival and departure and even sent pics from their time together. I would definitely book with her again!”
About: Hi there! I’m an animal lover with experience caring for pets of all sizes and personalities. Whether your pup loves long walks, energetic playtime, or chilling on the couch, I’m here to make them feel safe and happy while you’re away. I’m patient, reliable, and committed to keeping your pet’s routine consistent. I keep a structured daily routine, so it’s easy for me to incorporate regular pet check-ins, feeding schedules, and playtime. I set aside dedicated morning and evening blocks for pet care, and I’m flexible on Fridays and weekends to adjust to your pet’s needs. You can feel confident knowing your pet’s routine will stay stable and predictable with me. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I treat your space and your pets with the same respect I’d want for my own. I follow your routines closely—feeding schedules, favorite toys, and any medication needs. I always check that your home is secure before leaving and send updates so you know your pet is happy and cared for.
About: Hello! In 2017 I met my first friendly street cat which sent me on a journey from “strict dog person” to “cat lady.” I have since adopted two cats, Bean and Raisin, and fostered more than a dozen adult cats and kittens. I also work closely with an organization doing TNR in my community--trapping neighborhood cats and spay/neutering them. I have a 2nd bedroom that I use as both my office and cat zone with toys if your cat needs his/her own space but am also a friendly home for a rambunctious cat. Bean is very passive and chill, while Raisin just wants to make friends and play. I’m a trusted cat mom and foster mom and will cuddle your fur babies just like you would if you were home with them! I know how important it is to a pet parent's peace of mind while away from their animal to know how they're doing so I always make sure I send pictures and regular updates. Please note that due to my cats, I only board other cats in my home—no dogs. And I only board one client at a time. Rover doesn't give the opportunity to specify this. I can do drop ins for other animals in your home no problem! I work from home and can occasionally have period of hiatus from work with lots of free time to dedicate to doing drop ins and being there for any boarding guests. I am very strict about indoors only for cats given my history with TNR. Also because I'm an experienced trapper, if somehow your cat escapes my care, I have the skills and equipment and knowledge to get them back for you. I don't leave boarding guests alone with my cats without supervision, even when sleeping, unless enough time has passed that I can trust them all together.
About: Hi!! My name is Sofia :) I have been pet sitting for the past 8 years and I absolutely love it!!!!!! I've had 2 dogs named Rusty (Golden retriever) and Toby (Dachshund & Jack Russel mix) that I completely loved and adored. I've also had up to 4 hamsters and 6 fish. I currently have my cat who is my best friend named Mozzarella! Growing up with them as well as caring for my many many other pets, I have great knowledge in pet care and behavior. I also used to attend camp at, as well as volunteered for, the Kentucky Humane Society in Louisville, Kentucky. I learned about pet behavior, administering medicine, potty training, behavior training, and grooming. I am an athlete so I am very active and will walk your dog for as long as wanted and can handle large dogs! I have been and always will be an animal lover and I can't wait to get to know your adorable friends! I am currently a college student at Oberlin College, but my schedule is very flexible! I am available as early as needed before 8:30am everyday and I am completely free every night after 7pm on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and then after 12pm on Mondays and Fridays! There are many gaps in my schedule between 9am to 7pm where I can come to walk and feed pets for at least 30 minutes to 2 hours, and I'm flexible to changing times during weekdays :). All of my weekends are very open and flexible. Since I am on campus and live with roommates, I unfortunately cannot bring pets into my home but I do have a car so I am able to travel anywhere needed! Taking care of your pet will always be my top priority and will be in amazing hands! :) Your pets safety, love, and care is my #1 priority!! I am very good at sending updates and pictures throughout the day and will not hesitant to communicate when needed. I have taken care of many houses and pets and I am more than happy to share the contacts of those who I have worked for in the past :) I have had repeated visits for many pets I've cared for and can assure that your pet will be taken care of as if they were my own!!
“Sarah has been waking my dogs over the past few weeks and has gone above and beyond to make sure they are comfortable with her and well taken care of while we are gone. Highly recommend!”

Alyssa did an amazing job taking care of Bjork and making sure she had a great walk! She kept me updated with photos throughout the visit, which gave me so much peace of mind, and she was incredibly attentive and understanding of all my instructions. I truly appreciate the care she gave Bjork and will absolutely be booking with her again. Thank you so much, Alyssa! ❤️ — Saphir & Bjork 🐾
Michael was very easy to work with, seemed very personable, and most importantly- libby appears to have enjoyed his company 😊 Michael was very professional - communicating with me beforehand to see if libby had any special needs or preferences. He arrived a couple of minutes early and they went on an hour walk. I would definitely use Michael’s services again.
Daniel was absolutely great with my corgi, Ham. He was able to help walk her during full day exams I had. My dog isn’t the greatest at walking as she gets over stimulated lol. Daniel was really flexible and adapted to play fetch with her indoors so she could get her energy out. Ham looks forward to seeing him again soon :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Highland Park on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking 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 Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 21,311 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Highland Park. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Highland Park. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Highland Park.

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.
Every walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Highland Park. On Rover:
- 89% of walkers 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 dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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 walker.
