About: Happy to help you care for your dog or dogs. As a dog owner for the past 25 years I know how stressful it is to find affectionate, dependable care for a pet when you need to work or take a trip. I’m comfortable with all breeds up to 80 pounds, and all ages. Happy to take care of any dog from puppies to geriatric dogs. I work remotely with flexibility in my schedule to provide walks or work from your home. I can come in for scheduled visits or work from your home for the visit if necessary. I can offer care in your home. I am happy to walk and clean up after your dog. Happy to provide food, water, affection and playtime.

About: I'm a lifelong dog lover with plenty of experience caring for family pets and neighbors' dogs, often stepping in as a trusted pet sitter when they’re away. Over the years, I’ve learned how to handle different breeds and temperaments with patience and care, always making sure each dog feels comfortable and safe in my home. I also have a well-trained dog of my own, who’s friendly and well-behaved, however, when I watch other dogs, they’ll have the house to themselves on occasion, (as he frequently spends time visiting his grandma!), giving them space to relax without the stress of interacting with a new animal. My goal is always to provide a calm, loving environment where your dog feels right at home. I’m currently working freelance and have the flexibility to watch your pet as needed during the week and weekend. With advanced notice, I am able to provide boarding/overnight services. My home offers a clean, open floor plan with plenty of space for your dog to relax and explore comfortably. There’s an enclosed outdoor patio for fresh air and sun, along with two large dog beds topped with clean sheets to help your pup feel right at home. I also provide natural treats as a little extra touch to keep them happy and satisfied. When your pet is staying with me, they’ll be my top priority. I’m committed to giving them my full attention, care, and affection during their visit.

About: For the past 5 years, I’ve had a yellow labrador retriever named Hazel who is very energetic and playful. She’s my best friend! I’ve done house drop ins for friends and family for both dogs and cats to check in and take care of them. 💗 I currently work as a part-time before/aftercare teacher at a couple different elementary schools. I work Monday-Friday but have availability from 9:30am-2:30pm and after 6 pm. My weekends are free! I help my family feed our dog and provide her with water. I also take her on walks, to the park or play fetch in our backyard which has a good amount of running space for her. She’s a cuddler when she’s tired so we snuggle on the couch or play tug of war inside 😊

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've been an active dogsitter for nearly 15 years in the DC metro area. Specializing in older pets w/ health needs. My family has had dogs my entire life, so I have 4 decades worth of experience with dogs. Since I don't have a dog of my own (despite being my parents' dog preferred human and living with 2 King Charles Spaniels), I will treat yours like family. I'm a huge dog lover! I currently live in a house with 2 King Charles and 1 cat (acts like a dog). We have a fenced in backyard and for smaller dogs, a doggie door. For over a decade, I've been a trusted dogsitter for a handful of dogs in Washington, DC- references available upon request! Additionally, I have fostered three dogs from Laila's Legacy- 2 pitties and 1 Doberman. As a volunteer, I drove dogs to Adoption Events, served as a Handler, and helped bring pups to vet appointments. All dogs are great, especially the ones who like to snuggle. I've recently moved to New Jersey and am currently seeking full time employment. Until then, if your dog is okay with other animals, they can come stay with me or I'd be happy to dogsit in your home.

About: Hi, I’m Vincent. I’m a U.S. Marine Corps & U.S. Army veteran and lifelong dog owner based in Monmouth County, New Jersey. Dogs have been a major part of my life for as long as I can remember. I extensive experience handling all size and high-energy breeds that require structure, exercise, and consistency. I provide dog walking and drop-in visits focused on safety, reliability, and your dog’s individual needs. Whether your dog needs a quick potty break, a neighborhood walk, playtime, feeding, medication reminders, or simply companionship while you’re away, I will treat them like one of my own. My military background taught me attention to detail, accountability, and professionalism. You can expect clear communication, punctual service, and regular photo updates during every visit. I am currently furthering my canine education through the CATCH Canine Trainers Academy and continuously learning about dog behavior, enrichment, and proper handling techniques. I look forward to meeting you and your dog and becoming someone you can trust whenever you need help caring for your pets. I currently work part-time and offer dog walking and drop-in visits around my work schedule. I am available all day on Mondays, after 2:30 PM on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and have limited availability on Thursdays. I strive to be dependable, punctual, and responsive when scheduling visits. Whether your dog needs a midday walk, evening exercise, feeding, or a drop-in check, I will communicate clearly and work to accommodate your pet’s needs whenever possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. As a veteran and dog owner, I understand the importance of consistency, attention to detail, and following instructions. During every visit, I carefully follow your pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, medications (if needed), exercise requirements, and any special instructions. I always ensure doors, gates, and leashes are secure and provide photo updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Highlands

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Highlands is $22 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $7 and $28 per walk. On Rover, walkers 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 26,511 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Highlands. 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 Highlands. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Highlands after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the 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 Highlands. On Rover:

  • 83% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

walkers 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 walker.
