“Such a great experience! They were so easy to communicate with and kept me updated, which I really appreciated. Most importantly, they took amazing care of my dog and treated them like their own. I felt completely at ease knowing my pup was in such good hands. Highly recommend!”
“We’re those crazy dog people who never thought we could feel comfortable leaving our dogs—until we found Kelsey! She made it possible for us to go out of town for a wedding, relax, and enjoy the weekend knowing they were in wonderful hands. That peace of mind meant so much to us. We’re so grateful and would happily book with her again!”
“It was great having Erica watch over my Luna! She was kind, consistent, communicative, and I felt completely comfortable trusting her with Luna while I was away. I would absolutely recommend Erica to anyone looking for someone to care for their pup. I’ll definitely reach out to her again the next time I need someone to watch my pup. 100% recommend! 😊”
“It was our first time using Rover; and we were a little apprehensive at first because we have never left Winston with anyone besides family. Haylee went above and beyond making us feel comfortable and it is clear she has a gift with pets! She was very responsive and took excellent care of our boy! We will definitely want to book her from here on out!”
“We had such a wonderful experience with our cat sitter! She was absolutely amazing from start to finish. She made our cats feel comfortable and cared for, and we really appreciated the pictures and updates she sent during her visit—it gave us such peace of mind knowing they were doing well. There was also an unexpected issue with our apartment call box, but she handled it so smoothly and professionally. Rather than letting it become a problem, she found another way to get in through the leasing office and made sure everything went seamlessly. She was kind, attentive, resourceful, and clearly genuinely cared about our pets. The whole experience was so easy and stress-free for us. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and wonderful to care for their pets. We will definitely be using her again!”
“Our usual sitter wasn’t available over the holiday weekend, so we booked Carrin for the first time. Everything went smoothly, our skittish kitties seemed happy from all the pictures and reports Carrin shared at every visit - which we really appreciated! Wouldn’t think twice about booking her again to care for our babies. Thanks again Carrin!”
“Audette was incredible! She was always timely, sent lots of pictures and updates, and was super responsive and communicative the entire time. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing everything was going well while I was away. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive sitter 😊”
“Brittany and Tadas were great! Came on time and frequently sent updates. They asked if there was anything in particular they needed to know to care for Monty and were wonderful with how shy he can be with new people.”
“I've had so many nightmare experiences with pet sitters but working with Kimberly is so easy. I feel like I can actually relax knowing that she's taking care of the "kiddos". She lives close by and she really spends quality time with them. Reduce your headache and relax by booking with her.”
About: With 10+ years of experience caring for friends' and family's pets, I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I'm dependable, attentive, and committed to treating your pets like family. I'm comfortable with multiple pets, shy/anxious animals, medications, and specific schedules. Whether your pet loves cuddles or prefers their own space, I'll happily follow their routine and give them the care they need. Beyond pet care, I make sure your home is cleaned and reset, just as you left it, so one less thing is waiting for you when you get home. Pet care fits well into my daily routine. I work an 8-hour schedule, allowing me to provide morning, after-work, and bedtime care. I work from home on Fridays and have weekends available for extra time and attention. I'm organized and flexible when it comes to following each pet's routine, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding schedules, medication, or simply keeping them company. I make sure they receive consistent, loving care while you're away. I provide care exclusively in your home so your pets can stay comfortable in their familiar surroundings and routines. I'm happy to follow your instructions, respect your space, and accommodate your pet's individual needs. I'm also completely comfortable with home cameras. Communication is important to me, and I'll provide text check-ins and photo updates based on your preference. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pets and home are in good hands while you're away.
“Avery was great to work with. Very flexible when I had to make changes. Attentive to details and very responsive. She really enjoys visiting with my pups and they loved the attention.”
About: I love getting to know each dog individually and going on walks. Play is important for dogs and I have just as much fun as they do running, playing or petting them to put them at ease. I am punctual, down to earth and will listen to your needs as well as your dog's. I love taking care of my sister's dog and my friends. I'm kind hearted and really playful in my real life because I'm an improviser and actor. My favorite kind of dogs are playful, sweet or mellow mid-sized dogs. I love nature and being outside. I will be respectful of your wants and needs. I'm dependable and want to provide great service. I have a high emotional intelligence and tune into dogs needs very easily. I'm grateful to expand my knowledge of dogs as well and am a respectful clean house sitter. I am available to take on new clients at this time but my schedule can fill up fast and that could change at any time. Pets are a part of the family and I believe each pet has a unique soul & spirit that has unique needs of its' own. Being attentive & intuitive to needs of the dog ensure the pet is safe and meets their requirements for exercise and play.
About: I grew up with dogs. I’m very comfortable around them and they tend to love me. I already walk everyday why not have a dog accompany me. I currently work a normal 9-5 but I’m an early riser usually up at 4am and already getting into the groove of things. I work a hybrid schedule so I’m a bit flexible and used to being outside. Would love to just dog walk or dog sit during my extra time or even in the mornings before work or after 🙂 Pets naturally flock towards me as I’m gentle and caring and grew up around a lot of animals. That said as much as I love spending time with them they are spending time with me as well. It’s a two street!
About: I grew up with cats and dogs in the family. I have experience with senior dog care and administering medications. I also have some experience with younger dogs and potty training. I'm currently in graduate school earning my master's degree in speech language pathology. I go to school online so I have lots of flexibility in my routine to make room for your pets. I have lots of green space for dogs to explore. It is unfenced so they will always be leased outside. I have access to a dog park as well. I only take 1 dog at a time and they are welcome on the furniture.
About: I'm a 26-year-old lifelong dog lover with 18 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and breeds. I started helping my family care for dogs when I was 8 years old and have independently pet sat for friends, neighbors, and family for many years. I provide feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medication administration if needed, and lots of love and attention. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and routine, and I strive to make pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. I treat every dog as if they were my own and pride myself on being reliable, responsible, and communicative. I work remotely much of the time, which gives me flexibility to provide pet care throughout the day. I have a reliable vehicle and can easily travel for drop-in visits, walks, daycare, or overnight stays. My schedule allows me to be dependable and responsive, and I always make sure pets receive the attention, exercise, and care they need while their owners are away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize their safety, comfort, and well-being. In a client's home, I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications, routines, and house rules. I provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are hap.py and well cared for. I am attentive to each pet's unique needs and personality, ensuring they receive plenty of exercise, playtime, affection, and supervision. My goal is to create a safe, stress-free environment where pets feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away
“Blake was really reliable, and took great care of my pet! He checked in on time, sent lots of updates and pictures, and was also available to help at short notice when my flight got delayed. My bunny had major surgery this year so I am always nervous to leave him, but I knew he was in good hands! Highly recommend - thank you, Blake!”
“Nicole is awesome!! She's very communicative and thoughtful in all her responses, she was respectful of our home and property (even bringing in an Amazon package left on our porch, and most importantly, she was a loving caretaker for our cat, Chrissy. She played with her and truly "spent time with her" during her visits. We will definitely book Nicole again!!”

Jeannine was amazing! She took such wonderful care of my fur babies while I was away and gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. She was incredibly sweet, attentive and communicative throughout the entire stay. Will be booking her again!
The girls are always so happy when I get home from my work trips! Thank you for doing a wonderful job with them as always, Lauren! If you need someone you can trust and who is communicative and reliable you’d be very lucky to partner with Lauren as your sitter.
Courtney was fantastic to work with! Our dog is nervous and tends to be very slow to warm up to new people but Courtney gave him great reassurance and he did great. Courtney is excellent at communicating updates and accommodating to requests specific for each dog. I would definitely work with Courtney again
One liner: Book Kelsey, she’s amazing. We needed last minute petcare for someone to drop-in for 3 days and with only a day’s notice, she responded within minutes (and sometimes just seconds) to confirm details and commit to the work. She looked after my senior cocker spaniel and middle aged terrier with such care - the dogs appeared as happy with her as they are when they are with family. Updates were always prompt with great photos and detail. All-in-all, Kelsey is a reliable petcare provider and we will certainly be going back to her services for any future help needed!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Highland Park is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $39 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 8,718 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:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
