About: I started dog walking and doing cat play dates out of high school 11 years ago and loved it! I grew up with two large dogs and two cats in Portland, Oregon. Calm or animated, tall and long, short and stout, I take care of dogs & cats with all types of personalities, needs, and routines. I know dog & cat first aid through the American Red Cross and will go above and beyond to be a steward of your space. I study critical theory around the subjects of visual culture and land use at Portland State University online, so my schedule is open and adaptable to yours. My availability is completely open. I'm currently a student online, so I can adapt my schedule around whichever days and times you need help. I'm a patient, soft-spoken caretaker that allows a new fur friend to get to know me first. I'll walk the greenest routes in the area and cross the streets at the safest points. I walk at a steady pace and can check in with you and your pet during the walk or pet sit. We can play games or lounge around if that's more their style. I'll tend to your pet's grooming, diet, activity, and behavior specificities as well as any household tasks that accompany the visit.
“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!”
“Will is amazing! I couldn't recommend him more. Great at communication. Takes initiative and asks the right questions. Sam, my dog who is a large dog took to him straight away. I received updates and great feedback. Thank you!”
“Jana is the best! Gordy has a lot of energy but also tuckers out quick, she's great at observing where he's at and going gentle when he needs it but also reving up when he can use it”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes and ages before, from terriers to Scotch collies. These dogs have ranged in age as well, with some being as young as 1-3 and the oldest being 15. I make sure to communicate frequently to ensure pets receive thoughtful and fun care that is also respectful of their boundaries. I’m a teacher and currently on summer break, so my time for pet care is pretty open and prioritized right now! Rover is my primary focus at the moment, so let’s chat about some care for your pet! Whenever in a new environment, I make sure to inspect all possible exits or potential areas for danger or risk for pets. Additionally, respecting your home and your boundaries is a top priority of mine! I don’t use things unless I’ve asked about them and will communicate if a situation ever arises. I don’t have boarding as an option at the moment, but if that ever changes, pet safety and comfort is always a priority!
“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: I've been taking care of cats and dogs for my entire life and have always been the go-to pet sitter for my friends and family for over a decade. I have a cat of my own, so I am comfortable with daily pet care routines. I have a flexible schedule and respond quickly with clear communication. I love animals and look forward to giving your cat or dog the care and affection they deserve. I am currently only working part-time, so my schedule is very open and flexible. I'm always ready to take care of your pet whenever needed! I arrive on time and follow your instructions closely all while sending frequent text/photo updates. I take great care of your pet while ensuring your home is safe and secure.
“Margaret was great with our little guy. She was very responsive and really made us feel like Rex was in good hands. We’ll definitely ask for her help walking Rex again in the future.”
About: I've taken care of friends, family members, and neighbors dogs for a few years. They have entrusted me to walk, care for, walk, and feed their dogs. I enjoy walking with them early mornings for sunrise! I am currently writing a book so my schedule is flexible, I would love to walk your dog in the mornings and evenings to start and end my days. I am flexible to caring for your dog in your home whether they need to be let out or placed in the crate immediately after our walks together.
About: 3 years as kennel assistant, 10+ personal. Experienced with dogs, guinea pigs, cats, seniors, meds, and grooming. 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.
“Pia was amazing. Timely responses and asked all of the right questions before we set up the walk. Took amazing care of my dog. I would highly recommend Pia to anyone!”
About: Hi there! My name is Maddie and I am very excited to be joining Rover. Thank you for considering me as your new pet sitter or dog walker. I have been pet sitting and dog walking since I was 14 years old and have always enjoyed taking care of animals. I am always punctual (usually early) and keep a very organized schedule. I like to go above and beyond when it comes to customer service and will care for your pet as if it were my own. My schedule is currently very flexible and I am happy to accommodate you and your pets needs. Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions or would like to meet in person! Thank you.
“Gisselle was a dream to work with and great at communicating! Piggles had a cone all week so Gisselle made sure to put it back on each walk. We will more than likely be booking with her again!”
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.
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Highland Park is $25

Rachel is incredibly sweet, patient, and caring with our fur baby. Our Frenchie has a *lot* of personality and energy, and Rachel always approaches her with such kindness and a calm, gentle demeanor. She’s thoughtful, dependable, and makes sure their walks are fun, engaging, and full of attention. It’s very clear that she genuinely loves dogs and cares about making them feel comfortable and happy. We really appreciate how warm and trustworthy she is and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, attentive dog walker!
Alejandro was fantastic with our dogs, Juji and Leo! He was reliable, communicative, and made us feel completely at ease while they were in his care. It was clear they were well looked after, and we really appreciated the updates and attention he gave them. We’re so grateful to have found someone we can trust, and we’re excited to book with Alejandro again in the future. Highly recommend!
Maggie has been an amazing weekly walker for Riggy! Riggy gets so excited every time she sees her, which says everything. She handles Riggy’s rambunctious energy like a pro (even when she has to wrestle with the harness because Riggy insists on trying to bite it when it gets put on her 😂). Maggie always makes sure Riggy has water during her walks and even refills her water bowl afterward, which we really appreciate. She’s incredibly easy to schedule with, reliable, and it’s obvious she genuinely loves animals. Most importantly, we completely trust Maggie and know Riggy is in the best hands whenever they’re together. That’s exactly why she’s become our number one go-to walker. We couldn’t recommend her more highly!
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 August 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 August 2026, there are 20,721 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.
