“Kyle, did a great job walking Ella. He was able to accommodate short notice. He took my dog for a run and played frisbee with her which she loves. I’d highly recommend him!”
About: I’ve been around pets my entire life and have frequently cared for those of my friends and family members, including young pets. Coming from healthcare also gives me unique experience in caring for others and knowing how to manage health complications. My fiance and I have cared for his own cat who requires insulin for diabetes. I am a work from home professional with a log of flexibility within my schedule to support you. My fiance also has a hybrid role. I have experience caring for pets of all shapes and sizes. I am able to walk pets of all sizes and care for them inside the home, whether it is crated or outside a crate. I have also raised pets with access to a backyard and deep pool so am comfortable maintaining pet safety both indoors and outdoors. Being a dietitian, I am knowledgeable with nutrition and food when it comes to pets and humans if needed!

About: Hi! My name is Devoney, and I've been surrounded by animals my entire life. Growing up, my family had many cats and a small dog, which taught me from an early age the importance of patience, responsibility, and giving pets the love and attention they deserve. I have dog-sat and cat-sat for family friends many times. Over the years, I've also learned to care for my own senior cats and understand the extra compassion, gentleness, and attentiveness they often need. Whether your pet enjoys walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away! I am dependable, detail-oriented, and committed to following your pet's routine, including feeding schedules, medications, and any special instructions. I also know how important it is to stay connected while you're away, so I am more than happy to provide regular updates and photos. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members and providing them with loving, reliable care! I am currently an SMU Law student, so my pet-sitting schedule is flexible around my classes. I am available any day of the week, depending on what I need to get done for school. Luckily, I live 5 minutes from campus, so I am more than able to go back and forth if needed, if your pet comes to my house. I currently have an older ragdoll cat in my home, but she keeps to herself and is shy around other animals. I can also keep her in a room by herself if your pet needs no contact. For dogs, while I do not have a backyard, I have a front yard full of grass, and I am a less-than-5-minute walk to the Katy Trail, so I am more than happy to take them on long walks if that's what they like!
About: I have taken care of pups since I can remember I had my first fur baby when I was in my early 20's. I love outdoor walks, dog walking is a plus for me. I enjoy taking care of animals, giving them the attention they need and give them the love they deserve. I am constantly around animals every day and I love it. I do currently work part-time in my days off I do take care of my 8 year old nephew and he's 4 year old toy poodle name Jordi which I enjoy I feed him play with him, give him hes potty breaks, do walks with them both. Its in my DNA I love to take care of people and furr animals. I also do have a 2 year old cat her name is Athena I got her when she was 4 weeks old and love every second of it. Our days consist of cuddling she likes being rubbed. I would do drop in visits, make sure to feed them play with them, would love to do walks with them and make sure they are happy and comfortable.
“Clover was great! She arrives on time and let my pup sniff around and get to know her before she tried to pet her. Ollie seemed very comfortable and was happy when he came back from is walk!”
About: I have had dogs my entire life! I am very comfortable with all dog types, big or small, and am able to have a fun time with them while maintaining any training or instructions from you! Years ago I worked at a dog day care and am familiar with many breeds and why they require. I have done extensive training with my own dog with a professional trainer. I have a flexible schedule and am able to check on them in the morning and evening and mid day! Type of visit will determine timing and amount of time I spend with your pet! I am very comfortable with all sizes of dogs and cats. Their safety and trust is my highest priority. I always want any animal to feel safe around me and I don’t want to push their boundaries if they are showing signs of discomfort!
“Elyssa has been great. She was able to meet up prior to Max's first walk and they definitely clicked. Thanks for walking Max! He's excited to get more walks from you soon!”
“David is terrific! We have relied on the help of dog walkers and sitters for many years, but David stands out. He is a proactive communicator, who keeps us informed and shares photos and videos about walks. Our two pups love their time with him. Highly recommended!!”
“McKenzie is awesome. She showed up on time, communicated exceptionally well and she was amazing with our puppers. This was our first time using Rover, and she made our experience a great one! We highly recommend McKenzie!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Highland Park
Dylan as always is our absolute favorite! I always think about how I am so happy that I found him randomly on Rover because he has saved our lives for the past three years. Our pets love him so much and I trust him implicitly to take care of them and do anything that I would do. We love Dylan so much!!!!!
Anna was timely, patient, and caring with our boy Blue! She noticed he was anxious to leave because he has some separation anxiety, so she carried him to the park and he was so excited to be in his element! She knew exactly what to do with an anxious pup. Highly recommend Anna!
Thanks so much, Eboni, for taking such good care of Teddy. He loves being with you, and was always at the door with a happy tail wag waiting for you. I was very impressed at how you were able to manage him, given that he's a big guy (85 lbs, will be two in a few weeks) and very friendly with other dogs and children. I was not surprised when you told me you wanted to base your career on working with dogs. You're a natural, and I'm sure you'll be a great success in that field. We look forward to seeing you again soon. Thank you!
Abbie is fantastic! I have two senior dogs, a German shepherd mix and a Chihuahua mix, both are challenging to walk and Abbie does a great job with both. The other day she helped me get one of my dogs to the vet who was feeling sick. Totally outside of what she is responsible for and I really appreciated the extra help.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Highland Park
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Highland Park on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking 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 Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 8,701 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Highland Park. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Highland Park. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Highland Park.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.
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.
Every walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Highland Park. On Rover:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 walker.
