“Chloe was excellent! She was responsive, on-time, and cares a lot about the animals she works with. We booked her services while we were on vacation and the pictures she sent of our cat were great to help reassure us our Rosie was doing well and it helped ease the worry of being gone. I would recommend her to anyone, she is a kind person and took great care of our cat.”
“Amy is great with our dogs. We have two large boisterous Pyrenees mixes, one of which is reactive toward strangers but after just one visit, he had decided she was securely in the “pack” and was a love bug toward her, asking for scratches. She came over for multiple in-home/potty break/play in the yard visits over the course of two days and she was punctual, flexible, communicative. We are definitely going to request her help again in the future.”
About: I have cared for both small and large animals for over 21 years. Your pet will be staying with a very loving, responsible, and respectful family I work from home so someone is home all day every day. I also have a fenced yard for your dog to roam and go out as needed. I provide meals according to owner's instructions and clean up as needed. Also actively partake in play and exercise for the pets which I genuinely enjoy doing.
About: I grew up around pets, as my family had dogs and cats throughout my childhood. When I went to college, I could only last 2 years before I had to get my dog, Louis. My family now has 12 dogs, of all different sizes, breeds, and temperaments which has allowed me to gain experience dealing with a wide variety of pups. I love all types of dogs, and would love to meet and take care of yours. I am currently in virtual school, which I conduct from home during weekdays. This allows my schedule to be pretty flexible. I tend to travel to see family and friends on weekends, but if I am in town I am available for weekends as well. I am happy to take your dogs for as many walks as you would like, as I love being active and outdoors. I can drop in a few times throughout the day for walks or just to let them out for the bathroom.
“Cooper loves Chris! She knows that I love to play catch with my hedge hogs and pays attention to my needs when she takes me out. Chris genuinely cares about her four legged friends and I intend to have her check in on Cooper whenever we'll be out for the entire day.”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats for 35 years. I currently have a German Shepherd and a domestic short hair cat. I volunteer at the humane society socializing cats. I am retired and have time and love enough to care for your small dog or cat. We travel a bit but am available when in town. I’m available for drop in visits or overnights. I am experienced keeping an active dog entertained. I can take small dogs for walks in your neighborhood
“Yailyn did a fantastic job of taking care of my shy kitty! She gave her a pill daily too and was warm and kind which helped my cat warm up to her quickly! Will absolutely be reaching out to Yailyn in the future!!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 8 years and truly love spending time with animals of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. I’m very active, patient, and dependable, so whether your dog needs long walks and playtime or your senior pet needs a calmer, gentler approach, I’m happy to adapt to their needs. I understand how important pets are to families, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re gone. Pet care fits very naturally into my weekly routine because I have a flexible schedule and genuinely enjoy staying active and spending time with animals. I’m available on weekends and most weekdays, especially afternoons and evenings. I enjoy going on walks, being outdoors, and giving pets plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. I’m also reliable with feeding schedules, bathroom breaks, medications if needed, and keeping owners updated with photos and messages so they know their pets are doing well. Creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment for pets is very important to me. In a client’s home, I make sure to follow all routines closely so pets feel secure and relaxed in their familiar space. I pay close attention to instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, crate training, and any special needs or behaviors. I’m patient, attentive, and always prioritize safety during walks, playtime, and interactions with other animals. My goal is to make every pet feel loved, comfortable, and cared for as if they were my own.
“Diana was wonderful with our two playful kitties over the holidays! She was always on time, was very communicative, and had great attention to detail. Most of all, I can tell she really cares for animals. I highly recommend her and would love to have her watch our kitties anytime!”
About: Back in my hometown for the summer from traveling. Caring and walking dogs for friends and family has felt second nature. Every dog gets my full attention, whether we're out on a walk or keeping them comfortable and calm at home. I love to share digital updates so you're never left wondering, just missing them a little less. I always welcome a meet and greet before your first booking so your pet feels comfortable and you feel confident! My schedule is flexible throughout the day which means I can work around what works best for you and your pet. I typically have availability in the mornings, midday and evenings and always give advance notice if anything changes. I treat every home with the same respect I'd want shown to my own. Your pet stays in their familiar environment which means less stress and more comfort. I stay attentive, keep disruptions minimal and if anything ever seems off you'll hear from me right away.
“I hired Tara relatively last minute, yet she made time to come over prior to the job to meet my elderly dog and cranky cat. She was completely comfortable with their care, including medication for our dog. Her check ins were timely and through. We will definitely hire her again!”
About: I'm an experienced caretaker, especially with large dogs and fish! I also have much experience with rodents and other small animals. Above all, I love critters, and I'm always happy to build on my experiences or learn a new caretaking skill. I'm a college student home for the summer, with access to a bike-and sometimes a car-so I can get anywhere at any time. It's important to me that pets receive quality care, so no matter what, they'll always be my priority. I don't board, but in clients' homes I make sure to follow guidelines given to me! I love to walk dogs, and will take them for a stroll as many times as needed, but I'm also happy to stay in-home and play with a pet there. Whatever makes them the happiest!

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Highland Park on Rover is $25.53 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 5,564 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Highland Park. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters 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.

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.
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 sitter.
