“Heidi was amazing!! Our fur babies absolutely loved her and we did too! She kept us updated and sent pictures and also took great care of everything! We have definitely found our perfect sitter!! ❤️❤️❤️”
“Kaylin was great!! She was extremely flexible when we had to unexpectedly extend our vacation by a day. She sent pics of our pups and always answered quickly any time I messaged her. I would highly recommend her to anyone!😁”
“This was my first time using Rover and I was a little apprehensive at first. I met Dez and she exceeded my expectations. She is highly dependable and trustworthy. She did a great job making sure my dogs were well taken care of and my dogs definitely loved her! I highly recommend her!”
“Great dog sitter — attentive, kind, and reliable. I really appreciated that he spent quality time with my dog to help her feel comfortable in her home. Highly recommend.”
“Great communication and took great care of the dogs and the house. Wouldn’t even have known anyone had been here. Also went above and beyond with a few extra requests. Can’t recommend her enough and hope to have her watch the dogs and the house again in the future. Thank you!”
“Alexandra was great with the dogs. She understood the needs and limitations of my geriatric pup and was willing to keep up with the energy level of my 4 1/2 year old lab who thinks she is still a puppy. She left my home clean and was respectful of the space. I would gladly have her sit again!”
“Vivian took good care of my two dogs, including a 7-month old puppy being left for the first time. She followed the care instructions diligently, played with them, sent updates and pictures several times a day, and left the house clean and tidy!”
“We are so happy to have found Adyson! She watched our two pups overnight, and we couldn't be more pleased with the overall experience. Adyson sent us many pictures of her stay and when we returned home, the dogs were incredibly happy, and the house was just as we left it. It is such a relief to find someone so trustworthy and dependable. We appreciate her so much and highly recommend Adyson to anyone looking for an excellent sitter for their furry family members!”
“Sharon was so good with my two. She arrived right on time, understood how important it was to us that our girls were treated differently (11 yr old and 4 month old). Josephine, especially, took to her right away. Sent updates and pictures. Will book again when the need arises.”
About: I have pet set for a number of years for my family and friends and I have pets myself and some have found forever homes with me. I have an open house where the animals feel safe and can be themselves. Playing is always encouraged and lots of lap time and loving is always available. I know how important pets are in making our lives happy and healthy. My pets have their own crate that they can go into whenever they want, I even have a cat that enjoys his safe crate too. Your pet will be treated the same as I treat my own pets and my pets are spoiled rotten. You can feel confident that your pet is taken care of and safe while you are away.
“Devynn was so great with our 3 doggies!! Super communicative and sent us updates constantly. She sent some pictures and our dogs just looked so happy and cared for. I was very nervous leaving our dogs with anyone we didn’t know but Devynn made us feel very comfortable and did a fantastic job! We would book with her again!”
“Mirabella stayed at our home with our two dogs and fish for 5 nights, and she did an amazing job watching after our dogs. We recommend her and would definitely use her again in the future.”
About: Taking care of animals has always been a huge part of my life! From studying to become a vet to being a proud pet parent, I’ve tried to do everything I could to make animals happy. After all, they’ve given so much to us, so I’ve always felt like it was my duty to give back to them however I could. As an owner myself, I also know how difficult it can be to find trusted care for your pup, so I’m here to make that as easy as possible! I love meeting new people and animals, so I can’t wait to meet you and your best friend. I’ve been a lifelong dog lover, and have tons of professional experience with animals to boot. I’ve been a dog owner since before I can remember, and have three dogs of my own! I have two Puggles and one Golden Lab, and the three of them are the friendliest dogs in the world. In addition to that, I also went to school to become a Certified Vet Tech at the PIMA Medical Institute, and have tons of knowledge when it comes to proper care for your pooch. I’ve also been a foster parent for a Pug/Puggle rescue in Colorado for five years! It’s so amazing helping dogs in need, and I’ve loved all the pups we’ve brought in since. When taking on a new client, I typically like to schedule a meet-and-greet. It’s a great way to make sure that we’re all a good fit for one another, which is so important to me. Likewise, it gives us the opportunity to chat face-to-face about your pup and your care expectations. No one knows your dog better than you do, so it’s always great to chat with owners in person about what makes their pup tick! Finally, I just love meeting new dogs! I like to get down on their level to show them that I’m a welcome presence here to make friends, and I’m sure we’ll be best buddies in no time at all. Being a great dog sitter requires more than just knowing the ins and outs of looking after dogs. As a sitter, I provide you and your pup with a complete experience! I like to get lots of information about you and your pup and start imagining early on how to make the best stay possible. Following directions is no problem with me, and I love to do whatever makes your pup as happy as can be! Additionally, I am happy to take detailed notes on whatever you need to be kept in the loop on, from meal prep to exercise times. Of course, lots of pictures will always be on the menu!
“Halley was absolutely wonderful! She watched our dog and cat at our home over a long weekend, and we couldn’t have asked for better care. She kept us updated with messages and pictures throughout our trip, which gave us such peace of mind. Anytime she came across something she wasn’t completely sure about, she asked rather than making assumptions, which we really appreciated. It was clear that she cared about our fur babies and wanted to make sure everything was just right. She also took great care of our home, and we came back to everything in wonderful condition. Most importantly, we were able to truly relax and enjoy our vacation knowing our pets were safe, happy, and well cared for. We highly recommend Halley and would absolutely have her watch our fur babies again. She is trustworthy, thoughtful, responsible, and clearly loves animals. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Ryleigh is fantastic! We highly recommend her! Both dogs love her! she’s prompt, made sure the dogs always had fresh water, kept their area clean, and sent updates (with pictures). We will definitely be using her services again, thank you😁”
“Katie did an awesome job taking care of my two pit mixes, ages 6 and 15. She stayed in my house and watched my dogs for 8 days. I came home to a house still in order and my dogs happy. Katie kept in touch with me throughout my trip, sending pics. My dogs love Katie! I will definitely use her again to sit for my dogs!! She is awesome!! Thank you Katie!!”
About: I am recovering from a major ankle surgery. I'm not able to run, but each day the improvements are slowly coming along. Currently living in the Peyton area. Growing up, our family always had a dog! I’ve had the pleasure of being around ALL types of dogs. And I love them all ❤️ Rest assured that I’ll take wonderful care of your pet. Anything you require/suggest, I will make it priority. If you are comfortable with me taking your dog to the dog park in Peyton, I will happily do so! My Ram 1500 provides plenty of room in the backseat for your pup! I can also check-in on cats. I have even taken care of birds! That was a learning experience, but we both survived 😂 I will happily clean a litter box or cage to ensure your beloved pet is being taken care of. The good ole US Army brought me to CO from KY. I am wanting a job that has its own schedule, entertaining, and rewarding. I started Rover in 2022 and found myself in other jobs afterwards, but I thoroughly enjoy the outdoors. Now, I've returned to Rover! Rest assured, I will reach or fulfill your expectations for your pet(s). I will treat your pet as my own. My dog is my shadow and my best buddy. Her life is actually better than mine. They are in our lives for a short amount of time and I fully believe they deserve the absolute best!
“Amanda was great with Ezra! She knows how to connect with dogs. Her occasional messages throughout the day were nice. I would definitely use her services again. Amanda was on time.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Black Forest
Paige was amazing! As first time users of Rover we were hesitant but the experience couldn't have been better. Paige updated us daily with comments and pictures of our two Bernese puppies. She walked, played and loved them up exactly how we had hoped. Paige was an amazing caregiver and we felt comfortable leaving them and enjoyed our time away knowing they were being well cared for. Cannot speak more highly of Paige. Thank you so much!
Audrey did great with my cats. I received pictures/videos every single day I was gone which gave me peace of mind while traveling. When issues came up, Audrey was communicative & flexible, still making sure my cats were well taken care of. Audrey knew I would be arriving into town late & went the extra mile to tidy up the place so I wouldn’t have to worry. I really appreciated the level of care she provided!
Daniella was great! She showed lots of attention to my pup, was easily able to manage a complicated doggy diet, and sent daily pictures. She was honest, up front, and on time. I have already booked another dog sitting appointment with her! Definitely recommend!

The average cost of House Sitting in Black Forest is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $72 per night.

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 Black 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 Black 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 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!
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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
