“Tristan was great. He arrived on time and was very polite. He took very good care of my baby and provided constant updates. I will definitely contact Tristan for any future needs.”
“We have had Mark sit at our house twice now and couldn’t be more happy. We have a high energy, large, 1 year old golden retriever and Mark is excellent with him! He leaves our house as clean as we left it and it’s like he wasn’t even here when we get home (the only clue is our dog is more well behaved once we get home). He sends us pictures of our pup and is a trustworthy person to have at our home.”
“Emma was very professional. She took great care of our dog, kept us informed to all that was going on. When we arrived home our dog was happy and not stressed at all. Would definitely use her 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.”
“Markia was an excellent dog sitter! She provided lots of photos and updates, which gave me real peace of mind while I was away. Her communication was great from start to finish, and she was very friendly and easy to work with. Most importantly, my dog was happy and well cared for. I would definitely rebook with her!”
“Karli was an amazing Rover. She sent us pictures and kept us updated the entire time! She is great with big dogs and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter.”
“Shannon was amazing! She took great care for our two dogs, and sent pictures daily of them playing and hanging out. She went out of her way to get them a stuffed pumpkin when they tore up their other stuffed animal. I totally recommend her and completely trust her.”
“Bryan was wonderful. We had to leave town quickly to see a family member in hospice. When they passed away on our trip, he was flexible and stayed longer. He took great care of the house and dog and was in communication with us checking in regularly. I didn’t have to worry about the house or dog. I will for sure book again with him.”
“Serenity took wonderful care of our animals just as requested. She came a day before to meet them, was on time, and our dog took to her immediately. Would definitely rebook with her in the future is needed!”
“Joey was very helpful with our boys. He was very communicative during our time away and sent photos. He is easy to get a hold of and is available for any questions. Will book again!”
“We had such a great experience with Isabelle! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared so much about our dogs. We got regular updates and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our dogs absolutely loved her and were happy, relaxed, and well cared for when we got home. It’s obvious she treats the pets she watches like family. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pets!”
About: 26 yr Bridgemill Resident: To me our pets are a cherished part our family. I will always love being a dog and cat dad. I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was a young kid. I am a 26 year Bridgemill resident, retired, that has pet sitter for many of my neighbors and friends. We have 2 dogs and 2 cats ourselves now and each has their own personality and needs and wants. You will find I am a very experienced in dog and cat care as well as other types of pets. To help the dog or cat mom, I always take pictures of your furry family member and send them to you while you are away. I can provide references if needed. I am currently retired and stay active with our pets daily with walks, camping trips and, playtime. Our dogs love camping. Miss Kitty and Kai are our cats and they will aways want the same or more time spent with them as with the dogs. The cats make sure we know this. Also still pet sitting for our neighbors and friends. My dogs have a fenced in yard, get their nightly walk to their favorite sniff spots. Our pets all get along and sometimes play with each other. I will always make sure to take multiple pictures of your pets and send them to you to keep up with their unique activities and to help you stay connected with them. I know you miss them as much as they miss you when you are gone, even if its only a trip to the grocery store.
“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!!”
About: I have two dogs who currently stay with my mom. I have a german shepherd rottweiler mix named Minnie Mouse (Minnie) who will be 3 in August and a rottweiler named Pooh Bear (Bear) who will be 1 in September. They’re both so sweet and adorable. They’re very gentle, loving, cry babies. I’ve taught Minnie a few tricks like sit, paw, lay down, go to your crate, stay, and to sit before she eats. Bear is in the process of learning, but he gives my mom a hard time and it’s hilarious. I love them both with all of my heart! I’m a full time biology student. I start classes in August so my mornings are open as of right now. I have a part time job during the night, i’m available mornings until I start classes in August. I’d rather care for a pet at the clients home due to my dad being allergic to pet dander, but if I get my own place I’d love to have them over no matter the service!
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.
