“Kayla was so sweet with both our dogs! We were nervous because one of our dogs is anxious, but she LOVED Kayla after warming up to her. We can’t thank her enough for everything and we will definitely be using her again!”
“Brandee was reliable and followed our instructions well while caring for Tsunami. She completed everything we asked and kept us updated during our trip. Communication was great! We appreciated knowing Tsunami was taken care of while we were away.”

About: Ive been taking care of pets longer than i can remember. Neighbors and or my own families when they leave or go out of town. I am very gentle and loving when it comes to animals, they will always get all of their needs met! Im currently in online school so that means that its on my terms when getting work done so with that i will always have the time for the animals! I have a little backyard but i am able to take them to parks or walk around with them around the neighborhood. There is one dog that lives with me and her name is Lola she is a super sweet small dog that gets along with animals.
About: I have grown up with dogs since I was little. I currently have my own dog now. I have experience with dog aggressive dogs to other animals. I am currently working a full time job (42 hours a week) I currently work Noc shift and am going to school. I am usually able to accommodate time of day, that works best for your pup. I have my own fur baby, she is a rot/pit mix we believe. She is animal aggressive i've had her for almost 2 years now. Owning her has helped me gain experience with aggressive behavior in animals.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats alike since I was little. I have always enjoyed taking care of animals of all kinds! I kept reptiles and chinchillas growing up and also had quite a few geckos. I currently have my dog Nova and cat Ninja to take care of. I love them to pieces and that love alone has helped friends and family keep me in mind when it comes to going on fun walks, feeding, and sometimes with bathing! I was even given an award in high school voted as biggest Animal Lover. That was in 2015 and it hasn’t changed a bit! I run my own business so I’m very flexible with my time. I also have my own dog that I walk daily on a routine and with daily dog park time. We go on morning walks to the beach, she gets walked all the way to the dog park a block away and spends a lot of time outside. Pet care is and has always been apart of my daily routine! I love in an apartment and currently I am at max capacity for animals in my home, however, you can trust that your pets will be taken care of with the same love I give my own. I have worked with dogs of all ages and sizes. Whether we are going on a walk or taking them to the dog park I can handle your pets needs. I did go to school for wildlife rehabilitation and can administer most medications if need be. I am very patient and loving when it comes to all pets, so whether you have a grumpy ole pup or a shy one, I am more than happy to take my time making sure they are comfortable in my care. I have experience with most reptiles, including snakes, amphibians, geckos, and most lizards. I do not have a lot of experience with birds but I am always learning!

Whether your dog needs a quick potty break, an energetic walk, or someone to keep them company while you’re away, you can count on me to be there on time and provide exceptional care. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities, from playful puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. I’ll follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, medications (if needed), exercise, and any special instructions you provide. When your pet is with me, you’ll receive regular updates, photos, and messages so you can relax knowing they’re safe, happy, and well cared for. My goal is simple: earn your trust by providing dependable service and giving your pet the love, attention, and care they deserve. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I have a German Shepard/lab dog so taking care of your fur baby will blend right in with our daily walk sessions when the weather allows us to do so. Your for baby will be an excellent hands with the help of our dog Jacob. We have a huge backyard which is more than enough room for the babies to play. Not to worry they are never left unattended
About: Hi, I'm Julia! If you are looking for a sitter who is actually *home* to provide consistent supervision and companionship, I’m your person. As a local mom and caregiver with a very flexible daily schedule, I can offer the dedicated attention and frequent potty breaks that every dog deserves. Our home is a calm, structured environment where your furry friend can relax, play, and get plenty of belly rubs. Because I manage a busy household and a specific routine for my own children, I am a total pro at following strict feeding schedules, exercise needs, and medication routines. I know how hard it is to leave a member of the family behind, so I prioritize clear communication and will send you plenty of photo updates so you can have total peace of mind. Whether your dog is a high-energy player or a professional napper, they will be treated with the same love and care as my own family!
“Stephanie was nothing less that AMAZING with our fur babies!! They loved every second of her company! She took such great care of them while we've been away! She took away the stress of having to leave them. I can't express my gratitude to her enough. She's a godsend! We love her ❤️”
About: I have many years of experience taking care of your fur babies. Any service needed I've stepped up to the challenge. Young puppies who need to get their energy out, old pups who just need some extra loving, big puppies who require a strong grip and extra patience. I also have experience in fostering and rescuing with having rescued over 20 cats/kittens and provided medical and rehabilitative care. I am a veteran with medical experience who is currently in school to receive my bachelors. I’m on summer break right now so I will have plenty of time for any pet and any service they require. I will be flexible to work with any schedule conflicts long term or part time. My goal is to make your life easier! I live in a house. Although I do not have a fenced yard, I live in a beautiful golf course gated community with tons of space for long walks. I do have one cat who is friendly with other pets. If your pet is one to cuddle they will be allowed on beds and couches or if you prefer them to be crated I will follow along with your instructions as well.
“She is the absolute best. We love having her as our sitter. Our pups are so happy when she comes home and feel the most comfort with her around. She is very responsible, communicative, and punctual. She gives tons of updates and pictures. She is our most trusted sitter! you can never go wrong choosing Blanca. She is the absolute best! our pups love her more than they love us 😂”
About: I’ve been watching dogs and cats since I was 10. I have a 5 year old Australian Shepard that I got when he was 9 weeks old. I work second shift most weekends but I’m free to walk your pups anytime in the morning. I am able to watch your pups during the week as those are my days off usually I will always go at your animals speed. I have a very friendly Aussie who loves making new friends as well as I do have a fenced in yard for the doggos to run around
About: I'm a true animal person, and my home proves it. Sir Rocco, my 5-year-old Lab, is my shadow, and our three cats, Nala, Nico and Goldie, keep things lively. My favorite part of caring for pets is getting to know their little personalities: the dog who has to sniff every mailbox, or the cat who pretends not to care but always ends up in your lap. A while back I took in a scared, semi-feral kitten. It took time, gentle hands, and a lot of patience before he let me hold him, and now he follows me around the house. That's how I approach every pet. I let them warm up at their own pace, and I never rush a nervous one. I've cared for pets at every stage of life. I love the silly, curious energy of puppies, and I'm happy to reinforce their potty routine and good habits while you're away. Older dogs have a special place in my heart too. I'm happy to slow down for their pace, keep them comfortable, and give them extra love. I'm also experienced giving medications, whether it's a pill tucked into a treat or a set schedule, so you can trust your pet won't miss a dose. When I'm with your pet, they get my full attention. That means real walks, belly rubs, fetch, cuddles, whatever makes them happy. I'll keep their routine just the way you like it and send you photos so you can see them enjoying their day. I want you to come home to a happy, well-loved pet and feel completely at ease while you're gone. My schedule is flexible, which means I can work around what you and your pet needs instead of the other way around. Whether you need regular walks during the week, drop-in visits while you're at work, or someone to stay with your pet while you travel, just send me a message and we'll find times that work. I always give your pet unhurried, focused time, and I'll do my best to help with last-minute requests too. I care for pets in their own home, where they feel most comfortable. I treat your home like it's my own: I follow your house rules, keep things tidy, and always lock up and double-check doors and gates before I leave. On walks, your dog stays leashed and close, and I keep an eye out for other dogs, hot pavement, and anything they shouldn't eat. At our Meet & Greet, I'll get your vet's info and an emergency contact so I'm prepared for anything. Your pet's safety and your peace of mind always come first.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,718 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:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
