“This was my first drop in visit from Tahler and she did fantastic. She sent me tons of pictures and all of my fur babies looked happy. I really appreciated the updates.”
About: I love taking hikes with my dog and I am very good at handling any type of dog! Overall, I connect with every pet I meet to make sure they stay well loved while their owner is away Im currently working a part-time job with flexible hours so pet care fits in lovely!! My schedule allows for me to be available when needed! I can easily crate a pet, help them stay in the right areas of the yard or home, and make sure they are surrounding with a friendly and calm environment
“Rebecca was absolutely wonderful! Her communication was clear and precise. He punctuality was awesome. She even altered her visit time to better facilitate our fur babies. Plenty of pictures and awesomely detailed updates. I cannot recommend her enough for your pet sitter needs.”
“Amber did a phenomenal job with our cat Mila.Our actual sitter cancelled on us for thanksgiving last second and Amber was able to accommodate Mila for drop ins. She went above and beyond for her care. Mila is an anxious one and we found TV on with some animal sounds to keep her company while we were gone. Definitely recommend!”
“Maria was amazing with our 3 dogs! Our regular sitters they have grown accustomed to over the years were not available and while our dogs are friendly, they have their specific quirks and needs. Maria adapted to them with ease and provided everything they needed while we were gone. It was a great relief to have someone we could trust and rely on providing such attentive care! Not only this, but she also picked up their poop from the yard every day and threw it out, left the house tidy, and collected the mound of packages we accrued over the week we were gone. Thank you so much, Maria!”
About: I love animals and have an end goal of becoming a vet in life, so seeing different pets/ breeds of pets is huge to me. I’ve been told i’m super good with pets and super reliable. I have been dog sitting for 4 years and look forward to every job I can get! I’m currently in school and club volleyball, but can assure you I will give your pets as much time as I can. I have a job, but only work Fridays and Saturday at night. I love going outside and playing with your pets, I also love taking them for walks and giving them a bunch of attention. I love learning every pets personality!
“Naomi was available last minute to do a drop in visit for us. She also was able to coordinate a brief meet and greet the day before to get familiar with our pups! She was very kind and helpful and our dogs were happy in her care. Definitely will book again!”
“Jennifer was an amazing sitter! We are so glad we found her. She went above and beyond taking care of my two dogs. One of my dogs has some pretty severe health problems and has specific medical and feeding needs. Jennifer did an amazing job caring for her and making sure both of our dogs had all of the love and attention they need. We found our forever sitter for sure.”
“Alaina was awesome! She paid a lot of attention to our pups, and sent lots of pictures. Our dogs warmed up so quickly to her, and she was dependable and reliable. Looking forward to more visits soon!”
“Kyla did a great job with my pups!! When we initially met she was very observant and took notes to ensure the best care for my pups! I was very impressed! She was on time if not early. She stayed in good communication and responded quickly! I loved the pics she took!! Very happy and will be using her again! Thanks so much Kyla!”
“Lisa has fantastic communication skills. I didn’t wonder whether everything was being handled. She genuinely cares about her “clients” and took initiative. Not once did I miss a recap picture where my babies were getting pets and love. She did a fantastic job of cleaning up after my cats (that’s saying a lot considering their “accidents” and messy disposition. Further, my diabetic cat was treated like she is an expert. No missed injections, and Lisa took the time to understand what was needed for a special needs cat.”
About: I love to take my trained dog on walks/adventures, and would love for your pet to join! I am skilled in patience, training, and have free-time right now to actively tend to your pets! My home has a small yard, but I prefer frequent walks with my pup during the day anyway. I am familiar with the Fi dog collar app as well- in case anyone wants to track their pups while you are away! I am currently furloughed from the military, so I have a lot of time to tend to your pets! Once the government opens back up, I work 6-8 hours per day, but will make sure your pup goes on a long walk before I leave, and has plenty of enrichment/more walks (age and energy level dependent) when I get home. I have a fenced in small yard, but I prefer taking my dog on multiple walks a day instead of putting him in a yard. This allows for more attention to detail with my own dogs bathroom schedule, and making sure his mind stays enriched instead of just being put in a yard. My dog and I are very active and try to complete 3-5 miles of walking per day, but I know that that may be unrealistic for some pets, and I am willing to be flexible! I have a well-behaved husky/lab who is very good with other dogs. I have no children in the home, and I live alone. Your dog would be home with my dog during the day if I am working, and I am familiar and comfortable with crate training as well.
About: I've been taking care of dogs for many years and have seen all kinds of breeds and sizes from neighbor's dogs to my own all are welcome! I'm available most weekends all day, and most weekdays mornings and evenings. I have reliable transportation. In addition, I'm very punctual and respectful to your home and pets. I will care for your pets in your home /in your neighborhood. My car is small so I can fit into most parking spaces and can transport small animals in my car if you don't have a dog park nearby.
About: Growing up we had parrots, cats, dogs, an entire aquarium and a farm! My family and kids absolutely love animals. We’re a very active family that enjoys outdoors and playing in our fenced yard! We have two dogs of our own and a fish. I can’t wait to take care of your fur babies as if they were my own ❤️ I’m currently a stay at home mom so I can be flexible. I’m always free between 12pm - 2pm though. We’re pretty flexible especially if you’re close by! I don’t offer stays in my home at the moment but I can accommodate anything your pets needs in your home! If there is special accommodations for your home or animals please let me know what they are and I’m happy to oblige.
About: I have previously volunteered with a county SPCA organization taking dogs out for car rides and walks. And giving cats the love they needed during a very unsettled time for them. In homes, I have cared for up to 3 dogs (each about 100 pounds) and 1 cat at a time, dropping in two or three times a day when the owners were away for work or vacations. I would refill food and water, play with the animals, and let them out for toilet breaks/ clean the litter box, and water plants. I have had dogs for about 10 years, and I have dog/cat sit for neighbors and friends on and off while going to school for just as long. I have also aced Rover's Safety Quiz for recognizing behaviors and keeping your animal safe. I work part-time leaving ample time to do pop-ins and walks. I'm available: Mon-Thurs: before 8:45am and after 1pm Fri and Sat: before 8:45am and after 6:30pm Sun: All day I prefer to meet you and your animals first, so that we can establish trust and go over any specifics for your fur baby. Taking care of animals in their usual environment allows them not to stray from routine and gives them a sense of ease. For added peace of mind. When I am caring for your animals, I will not be caring for anyone else's. You can rest easy knowing that when we are on a walk I am only walking your fur babies.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Black Forest stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Black 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!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Black Forest with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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 sitter.
