“Alicyn was super responsive, professional and I would definitely book with her again. She always made sure to send plenty of photos and videos and really cares about our cats. I highly recommend her!”
“Alex is an absolute gem. We needed a sitter last minute and not only did they come in clutch, they provided a world class experience for our cat. They were transparent, gave daily updates and sent all the photos. Our cat was so loved and taken care of while we were gone. 10/10 book Alex for your pet needs.”
“Lukis was AMAZING! My girl cat, Gladys, really warmed up to Lukis in almost no time at all. She kept me up to date on everything and sent me great photos. I usually have so much anxiety around leaving my cats with a sitter, but not this time. I WILL be a repeat customer.”
“Chelsea did an amazing job watching our cats! She had great communication (clear, prompt, kind) both before the booking and during the drop in visits, which was very appreciated! One of our cats is a bit spicy, and the other is super shy, and she did a great job respecting their boundaries while also trying to make sure they were comfy. She clearly is very familiar with cats and has a lot of experience with them. I would recommend Chelsea to anyone who needs a great cat sitter!”
About: I provide dependable, attentive care and treat every pet as if they were my own. I have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, including my own pug and helping care for multiple cats over the years. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level, so I take the time to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. Whether it's playtime, walks, feeding, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I focus on giving pets the same level of care and attention they receive at home. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind knowing their furry family members are in caring and reliable hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I enjoy spending time with animals and make time each day for walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I understand the importance of keeping pets on their normal schedule and providing them with attention, comfort, and consistency while their owners are away.

“Rachel is absolutely the best dog sitter we've ever worked with. Her timing was prompt, her communication was fantastic, and she went over and above on multiple occasions, including gracefully working with our oldest dog who had been scared by fireworks, making sure all of our pups' needs were met. We can't thank her enough!”
About: I have been a dog owner my whole life. From 2018 to 2020 I worked as a vet tech before starting medical school. During that time I quickly grew comfortable taking care of dogs with ranging medical conditions. Ever since I have been dog sitting for family and friends. Currently, I have a rescue dachshund of my own, Arlington. I am a resident physician so I have a flexible schedule. I routinely incorporate walks into my schedule for my wellbeing and adding a dog to walk would only make me happier. I have my own dog, so my home is filled with toys, beds, treats, and anything a dog may need. I also dog sit for family and friends and have learned that communication helps ease their minds. My photo albums are filled with pictures of dogs for that reason.
“Erin was an amazing cat sitter! She went above and beyond to make sure our cats were comfortable and well taken care of while we were away. She kept us updated daily with messages and photos, which we really appreciated. The cats were out and about every day—not hiding at all—which says a lot about how safe and happy they felt with her around. You can tell she genuinely loves animals. We’ll definitely be using her again and happily referring her to others. Thanks so much, Erin!”
About: As a mental health therapist, I understand the important role animals play in our emotional lives. Animals are more than just a thing we care for and deserve to be respected for their individual differences in personality, temperament, and needs. I have spent my lives work caring for humans and animals in this way and will work hard to listen and care for your animals in the individual ways they deserve. I currently own my own mental health practice and work from home doing virtual client visits. I have a flexible schedule that can accommodate your individual needs. I am able bodied and can travel to you for animal care. I require an in person meeting ahead of caregiving services to establish trust with both you and the animals and to ensure it is a good fit. If overnights are required, I will need access to Internet in order to work from the home.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Highland Park
Jillian was fantastic with my Bulldog, Truman! She made sure to send updates, and keep me updated with how he is doing. She successfully gave him all his medications, and notified me when he was in need of his antibiotic. I high recommend Jillian especially if you have a pet that needs a little extra care and is elderly.
I really appreciate everything Shannon did to take care of my cat while I was away! This was my first time using Rover, and she made it such a great experience. She did an amazing job with her daily drop-ins and always provided updates and pictures, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. She took great care of his food, water, and litter, and went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and well cared for. Highly recommend her!
Amanda was referred to me by a neighbor who spoke very highly of her. I was so worried about leaving my cats and felt so much relief after being given the referral, instead of using a neighbor to help me. She followed my directions and I never worried the entire time I was gone as I knew everything was being taken care of. My cats are very fearful of strangers in the house and I want them to get to know her so I can feel comfortable when I leave on trips and they no longer are afraid. I will continue to use her going forward. She sent pictures and it looked like they would make an appearance when she was here so hopefully, that will get better each time.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Highland Park is $18 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $6 and $27 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 3,837 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:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
