About: We had a family pup for 18+ years. The sweetest Maltese ever. She was our perfect girl. Learned to appreciate senior dogs. They need just as much love and have begun to be interested in fostering senior dogs quite soon. I work at a school so I have open availability for this summer. I’ll be able to pay attention and play with them during the day and do walks. Free on the weekend to go to the park and such. I am in a townhouse so no fenced in space but I’m in a very accessible town that’s very walkable. Sidewalks and dog parks all very close.

This is our second time doing a pretty extensive request with Yan, multiple stops a day for various days, and just like last time I really enjoyed having Yan as our sitter! Jack has warmed up to her, she has good communication, and I look forward to the next time she can dog sit for us!

I've had many pet sitters for my dogs over the years and I can say with no hesitation that Ari (Barbara) was one of the best! Complete trust and confidence that she could handle taking care of my 15 year old lab! Great communication and she treated my Guinness as if he was her family member. Thank you so much Ari!

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Highland Park choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.
