About: I've had pets my entire life. My pets were a Tabby named Mischief (always got in trouble), her son Harddrive (born next to a desktop), and a black cat named Lucky. I have house sat overnight multiple times, including pets that had to have medicine and special diets. My friends always ask me to watch their pets, which I happily do. I have dealt with a 4 cat household, as well a two dog two cat household. I enjoy taking dogs for walks, a highlight of which was walking a young, lovely, and hyper German Shepard named Iris for several weeks while her family vacationed. I used to work at a pet store that specialized in healthy food, where I learned useful information in regards of proper care and diets.

About: Hiiii my name is Martina, I have a few pets of my own including two very cute dogs, one turtle and a cat!!! I have had dogs all throughout my life growing up and a few other animals, I’m looking to make some extra cash while also doing something I love and animals are the best companions!!! While I am myself new to this app. I used to help out my mom all the time when she did Rover, along with fostering pets/ shelter pets with my parents. I currently work part-time as a hairstylist, so in the days I’m not doing much. I’d love to spend some time with some very cute animals. As I stated, I do have pets of my own. I love so very much. I even consider my babies to be my best friends lol, but in my house we’re very good with our feeding times and keeping our dogs on a routine,making sure that our dogs are able to get enough outside time and that they have a good amount of enrichment through toys and playtime.

“Emma has been on time with my big guys (Rocko, Atticus, and Axel). We sat down for a “meet and greet” ahead of starting the walks to make sure it was a good fit, and so far it has been great. She will be watching them while I go away; I’m sure they’ll be looking forward to her visit.”

About: Since I was a kid I've been the person neighbors, friends, and family have relied on to watch their fur babies of all shapes and sizes. From maintaing clean litter boxes to taking long walks around the neighborhood, spending time with fur babies of all ages is my passion. While the parents are not home, it is all snuggles and play time. I devote my full attention to keeping our furry friends entertained and happy until their parents return. **Please Understand That if I am Contacted Before 8AM or After 10PM, I will not be able to respond in a timely manner as I too enjoy sleep** I am currently going back to school online, so I'll be able to spend plenty of time hanging with the pups and kitties just goofing around and snuggling. In my client's home, I will be respectful of their property. I can ensure the pets are fed and provided fresh water. I will clean after the animals if there is an accident, and will help maintain tidy litterboxes. If the owner has a fenced in yard that they prefer for the dog to potty in, I will still go behind and bag the fresh poop.

About: Hi! My name is Jazmin. I've had dogs my whole life, I absolutely love all animals. Ive been working with animals (professionally) for about 9 years now. Before COVID, I was an assistant general manager for a restaurant. When the pandemic hit and the world shut down, I decided to open up my own pet sitting business. Its been such a blessing because now I can focus all my energy and time into what I love! Which is caring for all animals! I am experienced and comfortable in administering medications to dogs and cats. My beagle, Buster was epileptic and had thyroid issues that he was on medication for. He was very picky and had to get medication twice a day. I've also watched cats that needed insulin injections, as well as other clients that needed timley medications to control seizures. I am a full time pet sitter and stay at home mom. This means your baby gets unlimited playtime, as well as one on one cuddles! This also allows me to be very flexible to accommodate any pet sitting requests! Drop off times start as early as 6:00 AM, and pickup can be as late as 9:00 PM. I leave out for brief periods of time, to take my son to school or husband to work and to pick them up! During these times pups will either be crated or put into a playpen to keep themselves from getting into trouble! I have two dogs of my own that love to play with your pups and help keep them company! I have a fully fenced (6ft high) yard to keep your baby safe and contained while they play. I have a bunch of toys - from ropes,to balls and bones, that get sanitized between stays. On rainy days pups will get their stimulation by doing treat puzzles. Dogs are welcome on all furniture! I have gates blocking them from the bedrooms and bathrooms but other then that they have free roam of the house! There are crates always open and set up with blankets and beds, if any pup is feeling overwhelmed or needs a break, they can retreat to a nice comfy spot.

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover living in Severn with my two spoiled cats. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets while you're away. I have hands-on experience caring for cats and love spending time with dogs of all sizes and personalities. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply having a companion nearby, I'm happy to provide attentive, loving care tailored to their needs. For cats, I understand the importance of respecting their routines, providing enrichment, and making sure they feel comfortable and secure. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! My current work schedule has me in the office 7am - 3:30pm. I'm available Monday - Friday anytime after 4pm, and am available overnight. Saturdays, Sundays & holidays are flexible! I can easily keep your dog separate from my two cats if needed. There is a (unfenced) yard that backs into the woods. My house is tucked away in a lovely neighborhood with sidewalks, perfect to walk your pup.

About: I’ve always been drawn to animals and getting to be around them is such a blessing. I’ve been around all sorts of animals growing up having: dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, fish, and even sharks at one point! I’ve always taken pride in caring for these pets and making sure they’re enjoying life and being taken care of properly. I just recently graduated from college and have a lot of free time. I am available all day, every day, and would love to spend my time with your furry friends! I am able to attend to any needs that the animals provider may ask and will happily and joyfully take care of your fur babies!

About: I have owned dogs since I was 15 years old. As an adult, I've had large breed dogs for over 30 years. I spent the past 2.5 years volunteering at the local shelter walking dogs and providing care for all breeds, sizes and ages. I have also fostered dogs from puppies to seniors. I am Fear Free Certified, and it is my passion to help dogs feel loved and at ease. I work mostly from home, teaching online, so I can easily fit daily pet care into my schedule. I am happy to do overnights on weekends as long as I can also make trips home to let my own 2 pups out. I can also board 1 or 2 pets from the same family if they can stay in the same room (separate from my dogs). I have a special room set up for fosters and boarders that comfortably sleeps 1 or 2 small/medium dogs or 1 larger dog. They will be separated from my own pets during their stay, ensuring safety for everyone. The room has open space, a couch, dog bed and a crate if the dog is crate trained. I leave music on for them when I am not at home, and they get at least 3 walks a day. I have a fenced in yard and am active person. I love walking dogs, playing ball or frisbee in the yard and taking my own dogs on hikes or to the park. I also have some training experience and will help your pup to be their best self! If your dog stays in my home, I will accommodate their regular schedule as best I can while also caring for my own pets.

Tina is absolutely the BEST! She always shows up on time, and my puppy absolutely LOVES going on walks and playing tug with her. I especially appreciate that she lets him take his time sniffing and exploring while also patiently teaching him not to pull on the leash. When he had an accident in his crate, Tina went above and beyond without hesitation—she cleaned him up and took care of the entire mess! She is incredibly caring, reliable, and will send you the cutest pictures she takes of your puppy during her time there. I HIGHLY recommend Tina to anyone looking for an amazing dog walker!

FAQs for Dog Walking - The Highlands

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in The Highlands is $19 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $30 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 12,149 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across The 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 The 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 The 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 The Highlands. On Rover:

  • 85% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 90% 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.
