About: I’ve had dogs since I was young, I love dogs. I enjoy meeting their different personality traits and getting to know them. Dogs make my heart melt & my own dog genuinely gets me up every morning. I will take care of your dogs as though they are my own because i know the fear that comes associated since I’ve kept my dog with others myself. I have a pitbull as well as 2 cats so I love any size, any attitude, any pet. They’re all perfect lovable creatures, no matter the personality type & I really enjoy taking dogs for walks and playing with them or even just laying with them and cuddling. It’s seratonin for us both! My pets are my best friends and I would like to make your pets the same way. The excitement of seeing my pet friends every day is such a blessing I’m grateful to experience. I have tons of love & affection to give (or none at all, if they prefer) & I’m excited to share it with your pets I’m currently in school for social work so I have a lot of extra time on my hands, I love filling it with our furry friends. I understand all methods of caretaking when it comes to our pets. If your dog is a jumper, I’ll always watch and make sure they don’t jump over any fences. I am somewhat of a hover parent myself & I keep such an eye on my pets, they’ve never had an accident resulting in a vet visit. I also understand sensitive stomachs & our babies that are dying to eat everything, itching for a vet appt but not on my watch. I multitask well so your pet will never go unnoticed.
“Mary has been awesome with our high energy, anxious 2 year old boxer/hound mix, Moose. She wasn’t fazed at all by his long legs and excited energy. Moose loves having Mary visit and she gives detailed and helpful reports about each visit. Highly recommend!!”
“Emma came for a midday drop-in visit for my dog, Rizzo, while I went into my office. She gave Rizzo a potty break out in the backyard. Played fetch h with her, and gave her a snack. The house was left just as she found it. 😊 We will definitely use Emma again, whenever the need may arise.”
“Aimee is great to work with! She works well with the family to ensure the best care for our diabetic cat. She’s gentle and soft spoken . W are lucky to have her on our team!”
“Fennel was truly amazing with our puppy, Cooper! They were so attentive and communicative. As new dog parents who work full time, we wanted to ensure someone was there to care for Cooper while we were out of the house. Fennel did that and then some! Above and beyond! Many many thanks to the best dog sitter we could have asked for! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! We will be booking with Fennel again any time we need assistance!”
“Although I ended up having to cancel my trip so Ashley/Olivia didn’t end up doing the drop in visits, Olivia was great at the drop-in visit I scheduled before our trip! My chinchillas took to her immediately. Gus, our fiestiest boy, happily accepted cheek scritches from her and another one of my chins even let her pick him up :) That says a lot about how she interacts with animals because as prey animals, trust doesn’t come easily to chinchillas. She also asked a lot of important questions about their care which I appreciated. She was super responsive and flexible about when I came to pick up my key from her. I would feel at ease with her taking care of my pets the next time I need care for them!”
“Kim was amazing!!!! My elderly dog who had diabetes, one eye, enlarged heart and cough needs special tlc. My mother in law who stays with my Romeo has Parkinson’s so it’s difficult for her to give the insulin. Kim came every morning and evening to help with my cuddle boy and she was really amazing with his grouchy old man attitude and helped my mother in law over the Easter Holiday. I wouldn’t have been able to enjoy my trip away with my daughter if it weren’t for Kim helping us out. She is wonderful, without a doubt.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I am very patient with all dogs and I truly enjoy seeing them happy. I have a senior dog that I walk every morning, lunch and evening. He loves having friends over to keep him company while I’m at work. I treat all pets like my own. I show them as much love as my own fur babies. I want them happy and really enjoy spending time with all of them.
About: I have grown up with Pitbulls and Frenchies my whole life so I am confident that I can take great care of your beloved pet! I work from home and will be with your lovely dog all day (unless I need to go out to run an errand) so no need for you to be worried that they’ll be alone! I prefer to crate any dogs that are not mine while I am away from the home just to make sure everyone has their own space. If Dog is not crate trained, then I will place them in a room if I need to leave the house.
“Owen was great. He kept contact with us as necessary. Our Al was well looked after. We will gladly request Owen again and Al will be familiar with him and happy to see him. Thank you Owen for your responsible care of our beloved dog. Until next time😊”
About: We have had dogs throughout our whole childhood. Jahcarre has experience in dog training and is currently a trainer in a professional facility.

We want to keep your pet's routines as similar as possible as well as taking them out on daily walks and time to play in the yard.
“Alex and Andrea were wonderful, and my puppies were completely comfortable with them. That’s always the most important thing for me: knowing Bruce and Daisy feel safe and at ease when I’m not home. I also really appreciate that during the storm, they took the time to check around the house to make sure everything was okay. Thank you for taking such great care of our Bruce and Daisy!”
“First time we have ever used this Service and Alexandria was perfect. Great pictures, notifications and updates were clear and the stress of leaving our dog at home and as gone!”
“Michelle took great care of my cats while I was away. She spent a full hour with them every day, and sometimes even longer, making sure they had fresh food, plenty of water, clean litter, and engagement. I especially appreciated how consistent and dependable she was with the daily care routine. One of my cats can be a little particular and attached to his usual way of playing, but Michelle made sure he was safe, cared for, and checked on. She also seemed to really bond with Emi, which meant a lot to me. It gave me peace of mind knowing they had someone patient and attentive coming by each day. I’d happily recommend Michelle to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter.”
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.
About: For 18 years I have cared for my own dogs and dog sat for friends and family. I worked at a vet clinic for 4 years ending 13 years ago. Familiar with many breeds and comfortable with them as well. I currently working full time but my husband works from home completely so we always have a person around, including my kids who are great care takers. I work from home usually a day or two. I have a 6 foot fence and 2 friendly dogs to keep your furbaby company. No other pets are in the home. We are great with giving meds and love to all animals.
“Katherine was great! Very communicative, friendly, and our dog loved her. She did a drop in visit for us, sent lots of photos and a detailed note. We will definitely use her again!”
About: Dogs have always been part of our family, and I have over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. As a family with three friendly dogs, we understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. We provide a clean, structured, and supervised home where dogs receive plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, potty breaks, and affection throughout the day. We are experienced with puppies, senior dogs, administering oral medications, maintaining feeding schedules, crate-trained dogs, and multi-dog households. Every dog is treated like one of our own. You'll receive regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. Our goal is to create an stress-free, loving environment where every dog feels at home. My family and I have a flexible schedule that allows us to provide consistent care and supervision throughout the day. Because we work from home part of the week, there is almost always someone available to monitor, play with, and care for your dog. We maintain regular feeding schedules, frequent potty breaks, daily exercise, enrichment activities, and plenty of affection. We offer flexible drop-off and pick-up times whenever possible and work hard to accommodate each family's needs. Your dog's safety, comfort, and happiness are our top priorities. We have a clean, smoke-free home with a dedicated space designed specifically for boarding dogs, giving them plenty of room to relax, play, and feel comfortable. We have three friendly, well-socialized dogs and always introduce pets carefully to ensure everyone gets along. We closely supervise all interactions and can separate dogs whenever needed for meals, rest, or individual care. We follow each owner's feeding schedule, medication instructions, exercise routine, and any special requests. We welcome crate-trained dogs and can accommodate dogs who need extra attention, senior care, or a quieter environment. You'll also receive daily photo and video updates so you can enjoy peace of mind while you're away.

I was so nervous about leaving on a trip. Its been forever. I reached out to Chelsea and she worked with me on my schedule for my dogs. She didn't just say no but asked me what time frames worked so that she could accommodate. She was extremely flexible and sweet. She met my family and I met hers. It felt like I was working with a friend! I have 4 dogs and even though she was under the weather she pushed through to come and learn about the dogs needs. She was a quick learner despite me asking alot of her worthy my wolf pack! She came twice a day feeding and letting them out. They loved her. She sent great photos. By the second day of my trip my anxiety was gone because I could see that my babies were safe with her. Thank you so much Chelsea. You are a gem 💎.
Another wonderful visit from Caressa! She was once again responsive to a last minute request to drop in and check on my dog. She took many great pictures of their walk and provided a thorough report card of the visit. We will continue to book with Caressa in the future!
Maria was phenomenal! She provided care for my 4 cats for a week while I was on vacation, and I couldn't be happier! 2 of the 4 cats are very skittish and usually aren't seen by the sitter in the past. Not only did he see them on several occasions, but she also sent me pics! The other 2 cats seemed to enjoy her company as well from the pics she sent. She even got to give my grumpy, older cat chin scratches!
She did such a fantastic job taking care of my three dogs! She kept me updated on the app with tons of great photos and followed my dog's special diet instructions perfectly. I felt so comfortable knowing they were in such good hands and will definitely be rebooking!
This was our first time hiring Noor to care for our three dogs, and we had complete peace of mind knowing they were in her hands. From our very first meet-and-greet, it was clear that she was incredibly experienced, which immediately put us at ease. Our fur babies are our children, so finding someone we can truly trust means everything. We have a senior dog with special needs and two energetic female dogs, and Noor was absolutely amazing with all of them. She gave each of them so much love and attention, made sure they were well-fed, and took excellent care of all of their individual needs. We’ve struggled to find a trustworthy dog sitter, but I’m so happy to say we’ve finally found one in Noor. We are beyond grateful for the care and compassion she showed our pups. Thank you so much for everything, Noor—we can’t wait to have you watch them again!
Rowan took such great care of Remi! In her drop ins she would be sure to let him out to potty, feed him, refresh his water as needed and give him some pets/ play time! She also made sure to put on a dog movie in the background for him to listen to since he enjoys background noise when no one is home. Remi definitely enjoyed Rowan’s company, and she was great to work with!
Alise is always the best!! She has dog sat for our two babes many many time. This time, we had some changes in scheduling and issues with our electronic front door lock, but Alise was great with navigating it and communication. There’s no one else I trust with our pups. 10/10 always!!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - The Highlands
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in The Highlands is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $12 and $31 per visit. On Rover, sitters 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 12,504 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across The 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 The Highlands. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
