“Ryan was great with the pups and flexible with our last minute booking. He was also patient with me as I was super nervous with a new dog walker. He also handled all three of them well. I’d definitely recommend his services.”
“Great sitter, she watched them for 3 days while we were on vacation. They were well taken care of and we did a pre meet beforehand and the dogs seemed to love her. Shes very nice and loves dogs.”
About: With over 20 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and small animals, I provide more than just pet sitting — I offer a second home for your furry loved ones. From daily walks and feedings to cuddles and playtime, every pet is showered with so much love and attention. Whether it’s senior pets needing gentle care or energetic pups who love adventure, I tailor each visit to meet their unique needs. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priority. I always communicate clearly so you feel at ease while you’re away. Because pets aren’t just animals — they’re family. 🐾 I stay busy driving for Uber and caring for dogs full-time. I have a super flexible schedule so if you need me to take care of your dog on a short notice if I’m not already booked, I’m happy to help! I’m devoted to giving your furry loved one plenty of attention, affection, and all the snuggles they deserve! 🐾 I live in a very safe and dog friendly environment. I do not have a fenced yard, however, my community is very dog friendly that has a park right behind my house and walk friendly paths to take your fur baby on. I also care for cats as I grew up with both dogs and cats and have experience taking care of little kittens and pups to seniors. If you’d like me to check in on your fur baby at the comfort of your home, please feel free to reach out so I can coordinate a time where I can come and give your fur baby some loving care 💕
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 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 was great ! She answered every message quickly , checked in each walk and made sure cai was well taken care of. It was a last minute request which she came and met Cai the same week! It was also cold and bad weather but she still made sure he was able to get outside ! Highly reccomend”

“Whitney is an amazing walker for our full of life puppy WALL-E. Her introduction was very friendly. Her communication is great. I would definitely recommend Whitney to anyone and for the new and existing ROVER members that's in the area. Take heed to what's needed for our handsome little guy!! You Rocks Whitney!!”
“Alyssa did a fantastic job with Gabby, our 11 yr. old Cocker Spaniel. She was prompt, polite and went beyond the requests we made. She is patient and followed our directions for Gabby's care extremely well. Gabby will be 12 in December and this was the first time we left her for an extended amount of time. The pictures and messages she sent assured us while we were away that Gabby had everything she needed and more! She didn't hesitate to ask questions and remembered to administer her Heart Guard medication on time. We highly recommend Alyssa to care for your pet!”
“Always on-time, great communication, flexible, and my dog’s new favorite playmate, Rebecca is professional and comes highly recommended by me…I don’t just trust my puppy-friend-son with anyone.”
“Shane & Brittany did a great job with walking and caring for my dog while I was away on a work trip. My dog requires extra attention (and understanding) which was handled well and made me feel at ease being away from her. I would recommend them to care for anyone’s dog. The daily reports and photos were also appreciated.”

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!
Highly recommend! Super responsible and reliable dog walker. They always provide detailed updates with lots of pictures, which really gives me peace of mind while I’m away. They followed all of my instructions carefully and were very attentive to my dogs’ needs and routines. You can tell they genuinely care about the pets they work with. Thank you so much for the wonderful care!
Alise was awesome to work with. I had to change my booking at last minute from an overnight stay to just walking Snoop - due to circumstances beyond my control (my travel plans changed due to weather). She was easy to work with, understood the need to change and did great with Snoop both days and sent me updates! Will definitely book her again!
Sam has been so sweet and loving with our boy Charlie from the moment they met. He’s been super protective of the pack since we got a new family member but she was able to convince him to leave the house and walk farther than any other dog walkers have. Highly recommend Sam!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in The Highlands on Rover is $18.87 per walk (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking 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 Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

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 your 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 services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in The Highlands.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 walker.
