About: I've grown up around animals my entire life, caring for dogs, cats, and rabbits. I'm patient, responsible, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and getting to know their individual personalities. My experience includes overnight pet sitting, boarding, feeding, walking, and caring for dogs that require medication according to their owner's instructions. I understand that every pet has different routines, preferences, and needs. My priority is to provide attentive, dependable care while helping pets feel comfortable and safe when their families are away. I have a flexible schedule that includes working on personal creative projects, studying, and exercising. This allows me to plan my day around the pets in my care, including feeding, walks, playtime, and rest. I enjoy spending time with animals and incorporating their routines into my day. I take on a manageable number of bookings so I can give each pet the attention they need while maintaining a comfortable, consistent environment. I prioritize providing a safe, clean, and comfortable environment for every pet. I follow each owner's instructions regarding feeding, medication, exercise, sleeping arrangements, and daily routines. When caring for pets in my home, I make sure they have fresh water, a comfortable place to rest, and appropriate attention and activity. I prefer caring for pets from one household at a time so I can focus on their individual needs. When staying in a client's home, I respect their space, maintain their pet's familiar routine, and make sure their home is left clean and tidy. I believe clear communication builds trust, so I'm happy to provide updates and photos to help owners feel comfortable while they're away.

About: Hi, I’m Katie! I’m a mom and college student with a flexible schedule, and I’ve been caring for dogs for a few years now. I recently moved back to the area and am excited to start taking bookings again. I’m known for being patient, communicative, and easy to work with. I send regular updates and photos, and I make sure you always know how your pet is doing. I stay active and enjoy being outdoors, so I’m happy to match your dog’s energy, whether that’s long walks or just getting them out for some fresh air and attention. I follow care instructions closely and treat every home with respect. My goal is always for your dog to feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. If your pet has any quirks or specific needs, just let me know. I’m happy to work with you as long as I know what to expect.

About: I've taken care of multiple types of dogs from an early age. I also used to have a dog named Gary (my brother named him from SpongeBob) when I was younger, but my mom couldn't afford him anymore. During school breaks, pet care fits very easily into my routine because I have a much more open and flexible schedule. I’m able to prioritize regular feedings, walks, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day without time constraints from classes. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, maintain their routines, and be fully present while caring for them. I think that it's important to spend quality time with pets, whether that's going on a walk or spending time at the park. And also just following the pet owner's instructions as well as understanding their routine.
“Larisa was fantastic! Really went above and beyond to make my two skittish cats comfortable with her. Highly recommend and will be reaching out to her again when I have more travel plans.”

About: What sets me apart is that I’ve grown up around animals my whole life.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 4,497 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Highlands. 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.
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 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.
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.

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 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.
