“Sarah proved immediately she was going to be reliable and an excellent communicator. Our pup hit it off immediately with her and upon returning home, we could tell she had been left in great hands. We appreciate Sarah and will absolutely book with her again!”
“Konnie was a great house/dog sitter for my two dogs while I was on vacation for a long weekend. She sent me regular updates and photos and left the house just the way it was when I left. Highly recommended and will invite her back again in the future!”
“Olivia did an amazing job watching our 17 week old Labrador, Maya. She did training with her; some of the things we had already started working on with Maya, as well as some new commands. Olivia sent us pictures or videos everyday. I felt very comfortable having Olivia in my house and I knew that Maya was being well cared for while we were gone.”
About: I have been taking care of my own babies for 10+ years! I’ve also stayed for a week at a time taking care of family/friends fur babies I’m currently working part time and from home so I’m always available! From short walks to long stays! Even just popping in for a potty break My fur babies get the royal treatment! I will provide the same for yours! From belly rubs to playing catch. And all the cuddles needed!
“Scott and Samantha are our go to sitters for our Italian Greyhound, Quincy! We have used them multiple times, and always come home to a clean house and a very happy dog. Quincy has pretty bad separation anxiety, but Scott and Samantha give him extra attention, care, and snuggles. We highly recommend them to help with any of your pets’ needs!”
“Mark was so great w my pets!!! He followed the schedule to a T and made sure to pass along plenty of updates. I always get nervous about letting people into my home, but Mark proved to be nothing but professional and responsible! I’ll definitely be seeking him out again soon!”
“Took great care of my cat (Coco) and turtle (Myrtle). Even went to extra efforts to make sure Coco got her meds in a timely manner. I'll be hiring Nathan again in the near future!”
About: My senior dog passed away recently and I’m looking for pups to care for until I decide on my next fur baby. I am a hiker and constantly in the woods so if your dog likes walks, I’m your gal! I’m skilled in emergency care and can administer medications. I am a medical professional and my schedule is flexible. I’m willing and able to spend the extra time and love your doggos (but I’m not prejudiced to just dog love!) because all creatures deserve kindness and respect. I have experience dispensing medications and caring for animals with anxiety. Please consider asking me to care for your dog/cat, I will treat them as if they were my own. -Sam I am a remote worker and am able to spend ample time with your animal! Walks are typically 30 minutes minimum, unless otherwise requested. I hike daily and I’m always looking for a hiking companion. Your dog will be able to roam freely in my home (unless otherwise requested). If I’m away, I will likely crate your dog unless they are potty trained and have house manners.
“Monica did a great job with our seven month old Great Dane. She cared for her while we were out of town for the week. We got regular updates, she remained in contact throughout the week, and provided great one on one time with our puppy.”
“Kayla was great with my older dog. She made Sadie feel comfortable immediately and gained her trust to administer her needed eye medications. I would definitely book her again in the future!”
“Julia was great to my boys! She was responsive and gave us great peace of mind while we were away for the night. She even got my stubborn dog to take his medicine which I struggle to do sometimes 🤣 Thanks Julia!!!!”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life growing up, I know how important they are to us and it can be very stressful to find the right, safe situation for them when we want to travel and live our lives. I am very used to caring for things compassionately as I have been a registered nurse for 6 years now. I currently am in EMT school two nights a week and transitioning from full time ICU bedside nursing to pediatric home care nursing part time while in school through the fall. I have an empty spare room for boarding, and wood floors that can handle any accidents that may arise without worry, I can also very easily keep my own cat separate from those who do not wish to socialize.
About: With 15+ years of experience caring for both cats and dogs, I provide loving, dependable pet sitting tailored to each animal’s personality and needs. From energetic pups to shy kitties, I treat every pet like my own—because they deserve nothing less. I’m a clear and thoughtful communicator. I keep pet parents informed and reassured with regular updates and check-ins. I currently work from home, so I’m very flexible with morning, afternoon, or evening visits. Let me know your schedule, and I’ll be there. Looking forward to meeting your pet! Although I don’t offer my in-home services, I am able to drop in on pets at client homes! I can easily follow feeding schedules and routines to make your pet feel safe and comfortable while you’re away!
“Abby was able to fill in for us at the last second. She is kind, sweet and treats your home as it’s your own! Our dog Wrigley warmed up to her very quickly. Abby sent updates throughout the night as well! We highly recommend Abby for all of your needs!”

Brittani H.
“Brittani is absolutely AMAZING! She loves my dog Dexi like he was her own. We had Brittani stay at our home with our dog while we were on vacation for a week because he doesn’t do well with being alone. She went above and beyond to make sure he was taken care of and loved. She gave him lots of love, pets and snuggles! She even laid down with him on the floor because he was scared of the thunder. She would FaceTime me so he could see me and I could talk to him. Plus she would send me pictures of him to put my mind at ease. She didn’t have to walk him because we have a large fenced in yard that he is able to run in. I trust Brittani so much and will continue to use her for my boy anytime I need someone to stay with him! For reference, Dexi is an Australian Cattle Dog.”

Highland Square pet parents share their Rover experiences
Thank you so much for staying with my girl while I was out of town! I couldn't be happier with how well my pup was cared for. She sent pictures regularly throughout the day and kept me informed of how my pup was doing. 100% would recommend to anyone for any critter.
Kaitlyn watched my dog for a weekend. She was very attentive and quick to communicate. I have a dog with high energy and she was very understanding and quick to problem solve. I felt comfortable and trusting that she was taking care of my dog. She is very good about texting and updating with pictures. I would 100% rebook with her!!
Highly recommend! Mary and Nick took great care of our dog while we were out of town for a week. We rarely leave our dog and we were so relieved to have found Mary and Nick who treated Nala with such great care. They were very communicative and sent awesome daily updates and pictures which we really appreciated. I could tell Nala received many belly rubs and cuddles. Can’t wait to use them again!
William was just terrific. He spent some time with me before our trip, and I enjoyed getting to know him. He took wonderful care of our dogs, one of whom had some special needs, and communicated with us a few times a day while we were gone. They were in excellent spirits when we returned, even the sick one. We'd book him again in a minute.
Lillian was fantastic! She came over twice before booking, at my request, to get familiar with my 2 dogs. We had an unexpected illness in my dog and she was able to give him his medication while we were on vacation. We came home last night to 2 happy dogs, house in order, and pee pads washed!
There’s no one else I’d rather have care for my fur babies than Daleen! She took our dog Bandit on hikes and kept him active. We received high quality photos and thorough updates. She stayed at our home, exercised great communication, and most importantly, gave us peace of mind. We look forward to many more years!
Julie took great care of our two dogs and our cat while we were away on vacation. She communicated frequently and it was stress free experience for us. She stayed at our house while we were away and only left the dogs for a couple hours at a time. It was great! Julie is very trustworthy. We will work with her again and highly recommend!
