“Murphy is extremely punctual, and really optimized his time with my dog on her walks. I saw how increasingly excited she got seeing him with each passing day, which says a lot!”
“She did an amazing job! Super reliable, communicative, and took great care of my dog. I felt totally at ease knowing my pup was in good hands. Highly recommend!”
“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!”
About: I was raised with 13 dogs and caring for animals since age three, I’m experienced with puppies, seniors, training, rescues, and giving loving, attentive care. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine since I work part-time and remotely. I grew up on a farm and have always loved caring for animals every day. I really don't know a day that doesn't involve taking care of an animal :) I care for pets in their own home where they feel safest and most comfortable. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, medications, playtime, training reinforcement, cuddles, and keeping them calm, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away.
“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.”
“Sofia walks our large and spirited husky. Our husky loves to walk and play with her. She lets us know of anything interesting they have been up to and any improvements she notices with areas we are working on with him. She is dependable, has good communication with us, and helps us troubleshoot when needed. She’s excellent.”
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.
“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!”
“We just started working with Daniel and we are so happy to have connected with them! They are so kind, accommodating and excellent with communicating! My puppy was so excited to see them again! 🙌🏽✨”
About: I grew up around animals, caring for a pet is second nature to me. I”m experienced with large high energy dogs as well as slower paced seniors and small breeds.I am very patient, loving and responsible. Comfort and safety are my top priorities. Im free evenings and weekends and this is the perfect way to make a little extra in my free time. I would love to meet and work with different breeds :) Strictly follow feeding schedule and diet restrictions, pay attention to details provided either written or verbal. Report that everything went smoothly and indicate any mishaps. Respectful of your home making sure to leave everything as it was :)
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: 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.
“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: I am very patient with animals! I am high energy, love to play, jog, hike, walk, sit at the park for hours & am a great cuddler. I love being the leader of the pack! My house is a great environment for multiple dogs. I live alone in a 1000 sq ft home, sitting on a double lot at the end of the block. The yard is fenced in for the biggest to the smallest of furry friends! I have been in all sorts of situations with dogs with varying personalities, I remain calm & patient until the situation is alleviated & we can get back to the fun. Please let me take care of your animals while you are working, on vacation, day tripping or just need a break! LOVE ALL DOGS!
About: Initially, I started dog sitting in 2017 for mostly my friends who were dog moms and dads. Slowly, (w/ permission of course), my clientele started to grow as my friends were recommending me to other folks they knew. It worked out well since I didn’t have my own pup though I had always wanted to have my own pup. I haven’t made the step to fully commit to a long term furry partner of my own so instead (at least for the time being), I’ve committed to taking care of your pup with the utmost care and consideration. I work part time so I’m available and usually at home for a large part of my week. When I am at work, I’m away from home for five hours only. One day out of the week, I work an eight hour shift. Outside of work, I love grocery shopping, going to the park, hiking, visiting friends, & hanging out w/ my partner. Your pup would be involved in all activities. :) I have a fenced yard that only I and my neighbor have access to. I also live a five minute walk to a dog and kid friendly neighborhood park. I would walk your pup 2-3 times daily. I love taking walks so your pup will definitely get some exercise. Play time is a must. I have puzzle toys, chew toys and squeaky toys for your pup to enjoy. Your pup is allowed to be on furniture and my bed (as long as they’ve had a bath) otherwise most do prefer their own bed and space. Food and water are replenished daily and medication is given if needed. Once its bed time, I make sure that your pup is close and comfortable.
About: Hey There! My name is Damian! I’m a 23 year old dog loving guy who is always excited to meet new and recurring dogs. I can handle almost any size dog with my experience of growing up with 20 chihuahuas and owning massive boxer’s and dogo aregentino’s. I love walking because it allows me to exercise with a companion who needs and enjoys the walk as much as I do. I have volunteered at the Human Society in Honolulu, Hawai’i, and have been an affiliate of multiple veterinarian clinics who’s clients are seeking a dog sitter. I love dogs with my whole being and the ability to meet and take care of these babies while getting paid doesn’t even sound like work. Hopefully you hire me, but if not, atleast you know about me. Thank you! I’m an actor with lots of free time. I’m currently working part time so I’ll have plenty of time to be with your pups! I have auditions about once a week and I bartend on the weekend but that’s about it. I try and provide them with the essentials if not already given to me. That varies from client to client. I make sure the dog is given enough attention but also enough space since I know they’re probably missing their owner.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Highland Park
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!

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 bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Highland Park after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

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.

- 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 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
walkers 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 walker.
