“Jennifer and Jason were amazing! They were the perfect duo. Our boxer/pitt mix can be intimidating to some people but they came and instantly made our girl feel safe. I will absolutely book with them again. They were also incredibly friendly and kept us updated on her. I would recommend them to anyone!”
“Mia is phenomenal!!! She looked after our pups and house sat for us while we were out of state getting married. The relief I felt knowing she was watching our babies, taking them on hikes, snuggling with them and keeping them entertained while we were away, makes me confident she would be the perfect fit for any pet parent. We will definitely be using her again!”
“Caylen did a great job taking care of Kanye while we were away. She was responsive, kept us updated, followed his feeding and medication routine, and most importantly, we came home to a happy and well cared for dog. We really appreciated having someone dependable looking after him while we were traveling. Thank you again!!”
“Nora was amazing!! She followed my instructions and I can tell my pup had a great time. She was on time and such a kind person. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“It was a pleasure to work with Judith. Communicated very well. Will certainly employ again. That she brings the skills and experience of working in the veterinary field was a big comfort.”
About: I've loved dogs my entire life! In my 20s, my family members, friends and colleagues all knew me to be their "go-to" dog sitter. I looked forward to every opportunity I had to love on someone's fur baby! Due to my living situation at the time, I was not able to have a dog of my own. My heart baby, a Pomeranian named Myles, passed in May 2026. He was 15.5 years old, and my spoiled only child. I look forward to the opportunity to care for your beloved fur child as if he/she were my own. For drop ins and overnight house sitting, I am able to sit for dogs over 25 pounds as long as they can be let out in a fenced backyard and does not require walks. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions or concerns. I look forward to hearing from you, and meeting your fur child! My schedule is fairly flexible, with the exception of being unavailable on Sundays. Regarding "drop-ins", if you need someone to "sit" with your fur baby for a longer period of time in your home, I am available for that as well. My fur baby, Myles, had separation anxiety, so we would have someone "sit" with him if we're away from home for more than 4+ hrs at a time. Feel free to reach out to me. I will be sure to care for your fur baby as if he/she is one of my own. Please let me know what his/her individual likes or dislikes are, etc.
“Great with my dogs, cats, and lizards!! Yes, lizards! Alicia sent photos and videos every day several times a day while we took our kids to Chicago for the long weekend. We booked house sitting, and boy, she really did house sit! She even vacuumed, did dishes, and took out the trash for us. Really appreciate her and WILL be booking again.”
“Mariah was absolutely wonderful! She loved our pups as if they were her own. Loved the daily picture updates. She took wonderful care them and our home. Highly, highly recommend her!! Will definitely rebook.”
“Cheney did a great job caring for our puppy! She has such a sweet, understanding, fun demeanor and our dog loved her! She kept us updated throughout the time she watched our pup and she was extremely timely with her communication before the visit. We will definitely book with Cheney again!”
“Joey did an amazing job petsitting our dog and cat during our vacation. Our dog is elderly, so she is slow to warm up to new people and requires a lot of extra care, including daily medications. He was incredibly patient with her and provided excellent care. Our cat loved him so much I began to worry she might be disappointed when we got home! 😂 Joey provided lots of photos and updates about both pets every day. It was a huge relief to know they were both taken care of. We highly recommend Joey!”
About: I’m a mom to 4 rambunctious children and 1 kid friendly chihuahua(14) and 1 loving husky pit mix(1). When most people meet my dog they are surprised at how friendly he is and how good he is with our young children. We used to have two dogs but we had to put older one down due to seizures and brain issues. In high school I worked in an army veterinary clinic as a veterinary assistant for a cooperative work experience program. My original plan in life was to be a veterinarian but after having to assist with some tough cases I decided just being a good pet owner and caregiver was more my speed. I’m a full time stay at home mom and love playing with my dogs and kids in my spare time. I’d love to help you care for your fur baby as well. I’m pretty flexible. I’m home days once I get my kids get off to school during the day. In the evenings and on weekends I take them to their respective practices or games but that doesn’t mean I don’t have time to care for and give your fur baby some love as well. I like to take my fur babies for about a mile walk in the morning and then my younger pup will go on another half mile walk with me in the after noon. My older guys stays home and chills but he gets lots of love and snuggles at home.
“Sabrina was a wonderful pet sitter .She has enough experience with animals and works well with my pets. She gave my dog medicine and did wound care ! Cleaned the house !! Great pet sitter .”
About: I’m very patient with dogs, and cats that are shy or scared. I try very hard to earn dogs and cats trust and build a loving relationship, filled with lots and lots of cuddles and love. I am available in the evenings from 7 pm to 7am for pet parents who want to go out with friends/family or working late nights work schedule. I can drop by and hang out with your lovely cat/dog feed then walk them etc. I have two cats, their names are Denver and Tyga! They are like my kids. I love to spend time cuddling them, feeding them and find creative ways to keep them engaged and dull the boredom with toys and lots of treats. They are my world and being a cat mom was the best decision, leading me to want to care for other pets who need someone to care for them while their mommy and daddy are away❤️
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life! Growing up, my family had everything from cats and dogs to goats and chickens, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. Over the years, I’ve cared for pets belonging to friends, family, and others, gaining experience with a wide variety of breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I’m comfortable with everything from daily walks, feeding, bathing, and basic training to administering oral medications and caring for reactive or anxious dogs. I’m also a proud pet parent to Pepper, my 7-year-old tabby cat, and Koda, my 2-year-old German Shepherd/Lab mix! As an EMT, I’ve developed patience, responsibility, attention to detail, and the ability to remain calm under pressure. I bring those same qualities to caring for animals. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving their owners peace of mind! I work as an EMT on a rotating 12-hour shift schedule, which gives me several full days off throughout the week! On my days off, I have plenty of time to dedicate to walks, playtime, feeding, and giving your pets the attention they deserve. My availability varies each week, but I’m happy to communicate in advance and coordinate visits around my schedule to ensure your pets receive reliable, attentive care! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities! I provide care in your pet’s familiar home environment, where they can feel comfortable and maintain their usual routines. I’m attentive to individual personalities, behavioral needs, and specific care instructions, including feeding schedules, medication, and exercise. I also have experience working with reactive and anxious dogs, so I understand the importance of patience, boundaries, and recognizing animal body language. I’ll treat your pets and home with the same respect and care I’d want for my own!
“Leah is absolutely amazing!! She is so kind and very thoughtful. She took such great care of our pets and our house while we were gone. 100% plan on rebooking with her for our next trip!!”
“Highly recommended using Morgan! We had such a great experience and she took amazing care of our two Pyranees pups! It made such a difference knowing our dogs were in such good hands. We came home to 2 very happy pups! Would definitely book her again!”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ashley Forest
Sherri was absolutely fantastic! She took wonderful care of our new rescue dog and house-sat for us while we were away. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our home and our pup were in such caring, capable hands. Our dog absolutely loved her, which means the world to us! Sherri was reliable, attentive, and clearly has a special way with animals. We would happily recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their pets and home. We will definitely be booking her again!
This was our first time leaving our two older dogs (one having no eyes) in the care of someone else, we were anxious having someone stay in our home but Mariah absolutely exceeded our expectations. We were given daily updates and pictures, she went above and beyond to make sure the dogs ate their meals (if you have a picky eater you know) and left our home cleaner than when she arrived. We were able to enjoy our trip knowing our fur babies were well cared for.
Mara is an outstanding pet sitter. She went above and beyond to take great care of our two dogs and two cats during our week away. She also did a great job managing our house during the overnight pet/house sitting while we were gone. We appreciated all of the regular updates she gave us about our pets and photos she sent. We would love to have Mara back!
Hannah was amazing with both of our fur babies. She sent updates, was responsive, very good at communicating, did everything I ask and I felt completely safe and comfortable having her at our home watching our babies! I can’t wait to have her again! Great job, Hannah!❤️
Great with my dogs, cats, and lizards!! Yes, lizards! Alicia sent photos and videos every day several times a day while we took our kids to Chicago for the long weekend. We booked house sitting, and boy, she really did house sit! She even vacuumed, did dishes, and took out the trash for us. Really appreciate her and WILL be booking again.
Caylen did a great job taking care of Kanye while we were away. She was responsive, kept us updated, followed his feeding and medication routine, and most importantly, we came home to a happy and well cared for dog. We really appreciated having someone dependable looking after him while we were traveling. Thank you again!!
I have 2 shy cats, and she did great with them! I get picky about who I leave my cats with, so I was nervous at first, but MacLaren was great and my girls liked her too. Followed all instructions, communicated quickly, and sent updates. I will definitely be reaching out to her again when I need a sitter.
Sarah took great care of my dogs while I was away. She was very sweet with them and kept me updated throughout the stay with lots of photos and messages, which I really appreciated. It gave me peace of mind knowing they were getting plenty of love and attention. Thank you for taking care of my pups!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Ashley Forest walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Ashley Forest maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Ashley Forest 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!
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 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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
