“Lori is a true professional! She responds quickly, arrives on time, and clearly knows her stuff when it comes to dog care. I had to get right back into the swing of things a few days after puppy arrived and Lori was there to take care of my little guy while I was at work and put my mind at ease. Glad to have her there for all those times I can't be!”
“Angelique was incredible and reliable and took great care of our dog on short notice and allowed us to enjoy exploring the city . She was amazing . Highly recommend”
About: I live with my partner and our 13-year-old mini Poodle in a 1,000 sq. ft. home on a double lot in Highland Park, featuring a fully fenced and secure yard for dogs of all sizes. I am patient, energetic, and experienced with dogs of all personalities. Whether taking a walk, hiking, or relaxing at home, I stay calm in any situation, maintain clear boundaries, and provide attentive care. I am available for: - Cat and dog drop-ins - Doggy day care - Dog walking (any hour) - Dog overnights at my house - Cat and dog sitting overnights in your home - Senior care - Special needs Let me know if you need pet care while you are at work, on vacation, day-tripping, or just need a helping hand. I look forward to caring for your pet(s)! My partner & I work from home so one if not both of us is always home to give your dog 100% attention. I am flexible in my work from home schedule for dog walks (which I love!), care in your home if preferred or at my place. I have a fenced yard on a double lot st a dead end street. I do have a patio porch with 3 steps. If your dog needs help getting down the stairs I can pick them up to help them get uo & down. :)
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.
“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!”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have experience caring for them through every stage of life, from energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs who need a little extra love and attention. I’ve raised and trained dogs from puppyhood and cared for them all the way through their senior years, including dogs who have lived to be 18 years old! I understand that every dog has their own personality, needs, and routine, and I love getting to know what makes each one special. Whether it’s going for a run or a long walk, keeping an active pup entertained, or spending a quiet evening cuddling on the couch, I’m happy to meet dogs where they are and give them the care and attention they deserve. I am currently between jobs, so I have lots of time to make sure that your pet gets all the attention they need! I walk every morning and it would be so much more fun to do that with a friend :) I live in a one bedroom apartment that has a front yard. I love to walk down to the park next door as well to do a few laps.
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
“Tracy is the dog whisperer, full stop. Greta, my anxious diva, has turned down every suitor with a leash. Tracy showed up like she’d been briefed by the CIA: calm, unflappable, knew exactly what to do, ready with answers. One practice walk later (where Tracy showed she was present, aware, and confident), Greta was trotting out the door with her like they’d been besties for years. Ten stars, no notes. Cannot recommend Tracy enough!”
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.
“Brandi was amazing! This was our first time using Rover and our kitties’ first time meeting someone new without us so they were super shy but she was very patient with them and always prioritized their comfort. She was always on time, had great communication, and send pictures. Would absolutely book her again!”
“This was my first time using Rover and i was very impressed. Great and frequent communication, trust worthy, my kittens actually came out. Very experienced. Chose Daniel because they are too a cat owner. Made me feel like my kitties were in good hands. Thank you so much!!!”
“This was our second time using Jackie to drop in and take our dog out. She is very nice and always on time. Our dog seems very happy when she stops by. Would recommend.”
“Emily was fantastic! This was my first time booking through Rover and Emily made sure it was a great experience. She really went above and beyond to care for my cat, and I would gladly have her cat-sit again.”

About: If you’re looking for someone who absolutely adores animals AND is responsible/ reliable then I am your gal! I have a profound love and respect for any animal and would love to share my services/experience with you!

I’ve raised the majority of them from their baby stage such as their puppy/kitten stage. I also have had the pleasure of giving them a beautiful life and led them into their senior stage. I also volunteer at cat shelters and have pet sat for friends and family members. I make it a priority to provide a safe and welcoming environment so any pet under my care can feel comfortable with me. I also love to play for whatever time your pet needs and give joy to every pet under my care.

However, I am always available for house-sitting your furry companion. I will always do my best to provide the best care while staying in your home. When booked, I stay overnight and hang out with your pet so they feel the most loved and attended to while their person is away. I can check in and update however often my client needs and will surely follow every instruction accordingly. Rest assured, your furry friend is 100% in safe hands.
About: I have had a family dog my entire life and take care of her while my parents are gone. I walk, feed, and play with her every day. I also have experience with puppies! Pet care is a natural part of my routine, throughout my childhood and now. Daily walks with my dog Lily are also a way that I relax in the morning and evenings and enjoy them as much as she does! I feed our family dog Lily twice daily. She receives two walks daily in the mornings and evenings, and a few times a week she runs off-leash in our local golf course. She loves treats and playing with toys!
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Highland Park is $25
Pet 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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Highland Park is $27 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $43 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 20,432 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Highland Park. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Highland Park. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 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.
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.
