About: Ive been working with animals for over 8 years. I worked at an animal shelter in WV for three years as a kennel tech, and then at the Farlie animal hospital in WV for two as an animal technician. And currently I am working at an animal shelter in miami. I know how much our animals mean to our family but I would love the chance to care for your animal. My schedule is currently open and I would love nothing more than to fill my days meeting, playing and caring for new fur babies . I am currently not accepting boarding in my home due to temporary taking care of a friend’s dog. Who is a bit shy and nervous of new animals.

About: Ever since I was young I did not only taking a liking to all animals, as I found they too took a liking to me. Sometimes I could see pieces of myself in their souls. From then on I've been infatuated with helping them. That's become quite the task as I'm a mother now of 2. Having your own "pets" is just having a bigger family in my eyes. I've always been the friend that takes in pet guests so they can go out of town. Or house sit if necessary beings all the different types. I figured why not make a job of it!! Pet care is extremely important! I use this time daily even for snuggle time to make sure no one even our own furries are left out. It fits in just like breakfast. It's extremely important and can become very meditative. I treat guest pets with as much love and freedom as our own. I'm in a very wooded area and our pup never ventures too far and guides the other dogs around and plays with them to get them back in. He's very clever. However I would never let a guest be unleashed while unattended. While your away I like to take all opportunities to improve! Unleash time is a HUGE start and is always impressive. These simple tasks once mastered can save you pups life if ever left unattended unleashed in a new scary place. I intend to help even if it's for one day we can work on just having fun and playing inside and talking walks in the outdoors together! I am one for taking photos and sending them to let you know how much fun they are having, for you to have yours!

Growing up under the guidance of a dog breeder grandmother, I honed the skills to cater to every temperament. Choose peace of mind and top-notch service for your furry friends and home – because they deserve the best! My schedule for pet care services is flexible and can vary due to my day job. However, I am available to discuss scheduling for any services within the next two weeks. If you need pet care services beyond that time frame, I have almost unlimited flexibility to accommodate your needs. Don't hesitate to contact me and we can work out a schedule that works best for you and your furry friend. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to give our furry friends the love and attention they deserve. When caring for my own pets, including my Chihuahua and cats, I prioritize their needs and make sure they are comfortable and happy. This includes regular walks, playtime, and plenty of snuggles. I also understand that each pet has their own unique personality and needs, and I am always willing to adapt my care to meet those needs. Whether it's feeding, grooming, or administering medication, I am dedicated to providing the best care possible for your beloved pets.

About: I have cared for many pets my whole life! I’ve taken in feral litters of cats and helped raise them until they were able to be adopted, I have cats, and help with the care of 4 dogs of varying sizes. I have had cats and all types of dogs growing up! I love making sure furry family feels loved, and gets taken care of. I am just starting out, however Rover is my full time job. I use this platform so I can still care for my little brother on the weekends. Some people have help with Rover, but I am working solo so please be patient with me. I have a fenced in portion of the yard just for our dogs to run around as they please, they have set meal times and have constant access to love and snuggles! My cats also get all the love and playtime they want.

Let me brag on Crystal some because she definitively deserves it!!!! I started using Crystal in August, knowing that there be some times coming up when I would need help with my senior baby girl, Miss Pebbles. I was extremely hesitant to use Rover altogether because I have had a pet stolen with a different service. I told Crystal I was going to be using a GPS on my baby girl and without hesitation, Crystal stated she understood and was not worried and would even take extra photos along their walks together to ease my mind; surprisingly, the other walkers in my area I talked to before Crystal, were not as cool about it and I even had some deny service, all because of the GPS factor. In an attempt to trust another service, and based on what Crystal's reaction was, I decided to give this wonderful person a try. I am so glad I did!!! Our first walk, Miss Pebbles ran to Crystal and she got right down on her level and just loved on her as much as Pebbles would allow. Over the last several months I have increasingly needed to rely on Crystal and without skipping a beat, Crystal has been there, arrived on time, and doted on my baby girl like Miss Pebbles was her own, slowly gaining my trust and making me feel comfortable with her having my baby, and knowing that my baby will return home. Crystal has a way with animals, there's no doubt about it. Miss Pebbles was instantly drawn to her dog walker and since then, now gets excited every time she hears Crystal's name. I truly appreciate all the effort and patience Crystal has had with us and our crazy schedules/schedule changes. Moving forward, I have no problem with Crystal staying at my home with Pebbles and my other furbabies. I wholeheartedly recommend Crystal for your babies. You will not be disappointed as she goes above and beyond and does it all with a smile too! You can tell she enjoys what she does. So from this crazy furmomma to any other furparent out there reading this, hire Crystal! You will be happy that you did!

About: I have had my dog for over five years. He lives with my parents while I am in school, so I need some furry friends to love on and care for while I am here! I also have done a lot of pet sitting over the years for close friends, neighbors, and coworkers. I am on summer break currently so I have a pretty open schedule! Usually throughout the week my work schedule remains from about 10:30-5:30 but there is much flexibility! Because I have pet sat for many people, I know how to handle being in another person's home while caring for their pet. Strong boundaries need to be put in place for the pet and pet sitter to feel comfortable enough to give efficient attention and care to the pet without crossing many major lines. This all is dependent upon good and clear communication with the owner and sitter!

About: I was taking care of dogs for friends and family that have gone out of town and need a sitter for a little while. I love animals of all breeds. Anytime someone needed a sitter I would be there to feed, walk and bathe them. I am currently not working right now. I am staying home to take care of my two kids. One of them is going to go onto kindergarten and the other is only a couple months old. I am able to take care of dogs any day of the week.I have a pretty flexible schedule. I have a fenced backyard and I have dogs who are very friendly that can keep your fur baby comfortable. I can put them in the crate if needed and take them on long walks and to the park. I will play with them outside and keep an eye on them when they are inside the fenced yard just to make sure they don’t escape (My dogs are pretty crafty like that). They will be safe with me.

About: I have been around dogs for as long as I can remember. There has almost never been a period of time when we did not have a pet. I was responsible for my pets since before middle school. As someone who gets worried easily for my loved ones and little companions, I will make sure to offer as many updates as needed and reassurance for any owners who may worry about their pets. I have a fully open schedule as of right now and will fully dedicate myself to pet care. I will do my best to work around pet owners’ schedules. They will be fed and taken care of as instructed by the owners. I will work with any requirements they have and make sure to communicate well.

About: Hi! My name is Monica Martinez, and I’ve been caring for dogs for over 8 years. I have hands-on experience with a variety of breeds, including Golden Retrievers, Huskies, and Alabais, as well as mixed breeds. I currently share my home with two loving pups—Luna, a playful and energetic Husky, and Sol, a gentle Golden Retriever with a heart of gold. I understand the unique needs of different breeds and personalities, from the high-energy requirements of working dogs to the calm reassurance older dogs might need. Whether it's playtime, long walks, administering medications, or simply offering love and companionship, I provide reliable and compassionate care tailored to each dog. Your fur baby will be in a safe, loving, and attentive environment—just like family! I work from Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays off. I walk them every afternoon and spent time with them in the afternoon they are part of my daily routine. I will always ask for a cage because I have another 2 dogs at home. I play with them and also I have a big house for me and the dogs.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Highland Park

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of June 2026, there are 1,697 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.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.

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:

  • 95% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 97% 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.
