About: Always had a dog in the house since I was a kid and been around them all my life from the smallest dog to the largest being a Great Dane, I have patients for dogs and the knowledge especially being someone new to them to handle them with care. Working full time but looking for extra activities in the evening and this would be perfect especially wanting to get more exercise and seeing new animals is a plus! I have three cats and a small dog in a two story apartment, they eat twice a day and spend time with my wife and son at home, but caring for pets in other people’s home I know is uncomfortable sometimes so I would treat even home visit with the same respect I’d want for my home and treat your pets with more care

About: Hello! If you're looking for a sitter to come to your house, a dog walker, or just someone to check in on your baby, look no further. I have 3 years of experience in the veterinary field as a receptionist and over a decade of experience in caring for my own dogs! I love animals and am attentive, dependent, and knowledgeable. I can care for babies of any age and have experience handling and giving oral medications. I just moved to Texas in the beginning of September and am currently unemployed, so I can be there to give your baby round the clock care and attention! When watching your baby in your home, I will be there to make sure they get appropriate exercise and plenty of snuggles! I am able to stay overnight as needed or can pop in to check on them throughout the day, whichever works best for you. When requesting for me to stay overnight in your home, please be aware that I own a very friendly dachshund who will need to join me!

“Emily had great communication while we were gone and took the time to come by and meet our pups before we left. They were very comfortable with her very quickly. She even did a nail trim while we were gone which one of our dogs can make challenging to do by yourself. We’ll be rebooking Emily in the future”

About: Raising my own dog from a puppy taught me the dedication and responsibility needed for proper pet care. From established feeding and walking routines to playtime, training, and lots of affection, I know how to keep dogs happy and safe. I treat every dog with the same love, patience, and attentive care I give my own. As a college student, my schedule is completely open from Friday through Sunday for pet care. I have full availability on weekends to provide dedicated, uninterrupted attention, regular walk routines, frequent bathroom breaks, and plenty of quality playtime for your pup. Safety and peace of mind are my top priorities during dog walks and drop-in visits. I strictly follow your pet's routine, ensure leashes and harnesses are secure, and double-check doors and gates when entering or leaving your home. I always provide fresh water, cleanup during walks, and send regular photo updates so you know your dog is safe and cared for.

About: I’m Destiny, a previous mini schnauzer owner for 5 years until I had to move states and ultimately couldn’t afford his travel and care. I love dogs so much, almost more than humans sometimes. I have experience potty training and teaching basic commands(no professional). I taught my puppy to sit, speak(when he needed to potty & just for entertainment/discipline purposes), and stay while I had him (he was also highly food motivated so it was super easy). I’m very active and love outdoors. I take runs at the park occasionally, so walk and play time should be fun for puppy with me. I have two boys, age 3 & 5, they’re full of energy to play as well with puppy. I currently work from home so my day is very free especially while my boys are at school during the day. Hope to meet you and your fur baby! I work from home so I’ll be there to supervise them all day. I am very active and I take walks or runs every day! I care for pets in my home just as they were mine! I allow them on furniture, walk and play and love on them very often.

About: Hi! I’m a 20-year-old community college student currently saving up for university, where I hope to specialize in wildlife biology. I’ve always had a strong connection with animals and a genuine love for creatures of all kinds. Caring for animals isn’t just a job to me, it’s something I truly enjoy and take seriously. I’ve had pets my entire life, and I’m also responsible for caring for my own service dog. Because of this, I understand how important a pet can be to their person and how much trust it takes to leave them in someone else’s care. When your pet is with me, my goal is for them to feel safe, happy, comfortable, and treated with the utmost respect and care! My Schedule My availability varies slightly throughout the week: Monday & Wednesday: Class from 4:00 PM–8:00 PM. I’m available for drop-ins before class or right afterwards. As well as my mornings being completely free to support your furry friends while your away! Evening visits may need to be a little shorter since my service dog will likely be waiting with me in the car, but I’m still happy to make sure your pets are fed, cared for, and given proper attention. Tuesday & Thursday: Class from 7:00 AM–8:30 AM. I’m available for visits after class, and I have plenty of time in the mornings afterward to play with, feed, and keep your pets company. My evenings are completely free on these days! Friday & Weekends: Completely free and flexible! I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and make sure they receive the patience, attention, and care they deserve. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your pets and give you peace of mind and care while your away! I can scoop poop to give them there specific dinner. I’ll make sure to follow there schedule as close as possible while your away! Give them plenty of play time and love while your away!!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Highlands

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 4,634 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.

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 Highlands. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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.
