About: I've taken care of multiple dogs since childhood and am an avid dog lover. I currently am the go-to for all my neighbors dogs while they’re at work. I will treat your dog like my own and ensure happy and active visits and walks! I’m in between full-time jobs so have full availability to care for your dogs when needed through the summer months. Weekdays, weekends, days, & nights! I have my own leashes and dog bags to clean up. I would take dogs walking with my dog if desired, or solo walks with just your dog.

About: I have extensive experience at an animal shelter, where I was tasked with walking and helping train dogs of all different sizes and behavioral patterns. I have also done overnight stays with dogs, ensuring these fur babies are being taken care of while their owners are away! I am currently working a part time library job about four days out of the week and am looking to make time for dog walking/sitting in between those days! Caring for pets in my client’s home means slowly introducing myself to their space so they know I can be welcomed and trusted in their environment! This means acclimating myself to their space and following their behaviors based on boundaries.

About: I have experience training and caring for dogs and cats. I Specialize in dogs with hearing issues/ deafness. Both of my dogs are graduates of multiple behavioral and obedience classes resulting in our therapy certifications. We visit a multitude of schools, hospitals and other wellness centers. All volunteer work done by my companions and myself is strictly a passion and non profit. I was inspired by a visitation to my grandfather by a golden retriever, when my grandfather was in the hospital for open heart surgery. Seeing my grandfathers reaction to a dog visitation while he was in the hospital was a monumental moment for me that further inspired my passion and drive to work with dogs. I currently work early mornings for a government agency as an officer which gives me a lot of available free time at off times of the day and week. Making me readily available to care for your pets . A fenced yard is a must. My dogs are trained and raised to be curious and outgoing, thus a fence is needed. Although my dogs don’t need a leash, I find it’s necessary to generally have a leash attached. I allow my dogs to be curious, and put there noses where many wouldn’t generally allow. It’s important to always cover your stove switches/ burners with dog safety devices!. But ultimately I strongly believe in allowing your dogs and pets to be curious and open to learning. Dogs and cats alike are much smarter then most realize, and I believe this is there first time living as well.. and deserve the best experiences life has to offer!

About: I'm a Division 1 women's rugby player and a huge animal lover! Dogs have always been a big part of my life growing up, and I currently have a 3-year-old Boxer named Rory who is such a character and makes me laugh every single day. On top of my love for animals, I have years of babysitting experience and am in my 6th year as a lifeguard, so keeping a close eye on those in my care comes naturally to me. I'm reliable, high-energy, and genuinely love spending time with dogs so your pup will always be in great hands. Whether it's a long walk or some extra playtime, I'll make sure they're happy, tired, and well taken care of! I'm a college athlete home for the summer with plenty of time and energy to dedicate to your dog! I work as a lifeguard and legal intern most days from 9-3, so I have great afternoon and evening availability throughout the week. Your home and your dog are in good hands with me. I stick to whatever routines and rules you have in place, give your pup plenty of attention and activity during walks and drop-ins, and always leave things exactly as I found them. Your peace of mind is just as important to me as your dog's happiness!

About: Back on Rover after a two-year hiatus and excited to meet some new furry friends! I've been surrounded by dogs and cats my entire life, and as a dog mom myself, I know pets are family. My goal is simple: to make your pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while giving you complete peace of mind. I work from home, so I have the flexibility to provide personalized care, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. Every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and all the little details that make them unique - from their favorite toy, walking route, and feeding schedule to treat preferences, commands, medications, and any fears or anxieties. The more I know, the better I can make their time with me feel like another normal day. I'm dependable, detail-oriented, and will care for your pet as if they were my own. You'll receive regular updates, lots of photos, and open communication every step of the way. I can't wait to meet you and your furry family member! I work a hybrid schedule and am home most evenings and weekends, giving me plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-in visits, and quality one-on-one time. I always do my best to accommodate your pet's routine and your scheduling needs. Your pet's safety and comfort always come first. I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and any special needs before our visit. Whether your dog enjoys leisurely neighborhood walks or more adventurous hikes and trails, I'll tailor our time together to their age, health, and energy level while always respecting your preferences.

About: Hello, I'm Lisa. For my entire life, I have lived with and cared for pets of all ages, life stages, and diverse needs. I specialize in providing meticulous, high-level care that prioritizes both the physical safety and emotional comfort of your animals. ------ Whether assisting senior dogs with mobility challenges, maintaining precise puppy routines, or navigating complex medical requirements, I treat every pet with the gentle, respectful care they deserve. I pride myself on being patient, highly observant, and adaptive to each pet's unique personality. ------ If you are looking for a reliable, responsible professional who puts your pet's total well-being first, I would love to connect for a Meet & Greet! ------- After a rewarding 20-year corporate career, I am dedicating myself full-time to providing premium, boutique pet care out of my Middletown home, complete with a large fenced yard and a dedicated rest room. To welcome my first wave of neighbors to my new Rover profile, I am offering exclusive, limited-time introductory launch rates—check them out on my Services page. ------ Book now to secure experienced, 24/7 care for your pet at a special introductory price while I establish my platform reviews! From the Corporate Ladder to the Dog Park! After 20 years in the fast-paced world of market research, I decided it was finally time to trade the corporate rat race for something far more rewarding: the puppy race (and the kitty cuddle). ------ With my kids raised and my spreadsheets officially closed, I am channeling two decades of project management, laser-focused observation, and high-level problem-solving into a new daily routine—one completely dedicated to the happiness and well-being of your pets. ------ My schedule is no longer ruled by corporate deadlines, which means I have the flexibility, energy, and time to give your canine and feline friends my undivided attention. ------ My daily routine is built around consistency and care: -- Morning Brisk Walks & Fresh Air: Perfect for high-energy pups who need a great start to their day. -- Mid-Day Check-Ins & Routine Maintenance: Keeping puppies on track, administering timed medications, and ensuring seniors get the gentle care and mobility assistance they need. -- Afternoon Feline Focus: Dedicated quiet time for litter box maintenance, precise feeding, and earning the trust of your cats on their own terms. ------ I’ve traded analyzing consumer behavior for interpreting tail wags and cat purrs—and honestly, the data says this is going to be my best chapter yet. I am fully available, entirely flexible, and ready for this adventure! Your Peace of Mind is My Priority! -- Bringing someone new into your home or trusting them with your furry family member is a big deal - I get it. My 20 years in a detail-oriented corporate environment means "good enough" isn't in my vocabulary. Whether I am caring for your pets under my roof or yours, I treat safety as a non-negotiable metric and your home with the utmost respect. ------ In Your Home: Respect, Security & Seamless Routines When I visit your home, my goal is to leave it exactly as I found it and ensure your pet’s routine doesn't skip a beat. - Bulletproof Security: I double-check locks, secure gates, and follow your precise instructions for alarms and key handling. - Meticulous Environmental Checks: I keep an eye out for hidden hazards (like loose cords or dropped food) and ensure water bowls are pristine and litter boxes are spotless. - Respecting the Sanctuary: Your home is your sanctuary. I operate with total discretion, cleanliness, and respect for your space. ------ In My Home: A Safe, Cozy Haven When your pet stays with me, they aren't just guest-starring in my week... they are part of the family. - The "Empty Nest" Advantage: With my kids grown, my home is a calm, predictable, and predictable environment. There are no chaotic schedules or unexpected guests, just a space dedicated entirely to pet comfort and security. - The Best of Both Worlds (Play & Peace): I have a large, fully fenced-in yard perfect for burning off energy and exploring safely. - Built-in Buddies or Solo Space: Your pup can socialize and play with my two friendly resident dogs. However, if your pet prefers their own space or needs a quiet nap, I have a dedicated separate room where they can rest, recharge, and enjoy some peaceful time away from the pack. - Constant Supervision: Because this is my full-time focus, your pet receives dedicated, watchful supervision, plenty of companionship, and immediate attention to their emotional and physical needs. ------ The Bottom Line on Trust I am fully committed to open communication. You will receive regular, detailed updates and plenty of photos so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. I manage safety with a professional eye and deliver care with a mother's heart.

Maribella is awesome! She is prompt, responds quickly to requests, reliable and all with her polite Southern charm. We are so happy to have found her for our Sherlock, our rescue beagle that has severe separation anxiety—not welcome when living in a condo. Mirabella calmed him down, walked him to relieve his anxiety, so when we arrived home he was happily chomping on a treat. Thanks Maribella for giving us the time to enjoy our beach yoga.

Wendy was amazing. She came to walk our little Chloe twice a day for 4 days when we were out of town. She came like clockwork. She was thorough and very caring. She took tons of pics and played with her and took excellent care. I couldn’t have asked for better. I highly recommend Wendy.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Highlands

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Highlands on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting 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 Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 24,325 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Highlands. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Highlands stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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 Highlands 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.

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.

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. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Highlands with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Highlands. On Rover:

  • 88% 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.

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 sitter.
