Denis was great with our puppy Riely! I felt comfortable with him taking care of her. He came prior to the visit to make sure he knew how to navigate her care and learn her demeanor. He was also very communicative. Will definitely use him again in the future!

About: I have had two beautiful golden Retrievers and love dogs in general. My golden Wyatt passed away but I adore and love and miss him so much. Now with a new year one year old puppy who is HUGE , I absolutely want to meet more friends of fur. I work daily but have a flexible schedule and can attend animals during the workday as I make my own hours. I also can stay overnight on Friday through Sunday for overnight sitting. I care for pets making sure they have the essentials, food and water. That being said I love to spend time with them all always they are amazing and I love playing with animals and making them feel as human as possible.

About: I’ve fostered over 50 animals and just enjoy being with animals and want to show them the world. I’ve worked with dogs from 1 month to 9 years. I will be attending the university of Tennessee this fall and I’d love either morning to afternoon work. I always communicate before bookings and will try to be as flexible as possible! I’m very patient and I’ve fostered over 50 animals so I’ve worked with all personalities and ages. I try to care for dogs like they are my own. I have a rescue who is an anxious dog so I have experience in that as well.

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 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.

Beth went above and beyond caring for our two ragdoll cats. I could tell they had been loved when we got home after a week trip, they were less anxious than usual and Beth even brought in our mail without being asked. Lovely person, we felt very fortunate to have found her.

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.

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!

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.

Sydney took the best care of our cat Cooper and I could tell when we got home that he was given lots of attention! She was super thorough with all of her notes about her visits and took lots of great pictures for us to see our little guy while we were gone. Thanks for taking such good care of him!

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.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Highland Park

Frequently asked questions about Rover

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.

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
  • 95% 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.

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.
