“Heidi was fantastic! She communicated well and took the best pictures of my 2 cats. I had to book last minute and she was very nice about it and was even able to stay an extra day when my flight was canceled. She took excellent care of the pets and the home. If I ever need to get a pet sitter again I will be using Heidi if she's available!”

“I appreciate you so much.Thank you for taking great care of my babies. Upon returning home, everyone was sleeping, possibly due to the cool air conditioning in the garage, which was set at a comfortable 69 degrees. I have applied medication between Shaggy's pads, as he tends to experience this issue intermittently during the summer. Thank you for letting me know and for all the great photos. Thank you again-You are amazing 💕”

“Ashley is incredible! We decided to do a meet and greet with our lab since it was our first time using rover drop-in visits. Ashley was more than happy to meet with us and even spent time playing with our Gus during the visit! During visits Ashley takes great care of our lab. I always look forward to Gus’s visit card where Ashley provides detailed information on the visit and THE BEST photos of their time spent together. Ashley was also super flexible when our visit schedules changed and even helped us out last minute. She is our go-to pet sitter!”

About: Hi, I’m Liz! I’m the proud human of two dogs—an anxious Dachshund/Jack Russell mix and a floofy energy-ball Corgi —which means I have extensive experience in both being bossed around by a moody sausage and trying to keep up with a potato who has approximately 47,000 thoughts per minute! I absolutely love dogs and genuinely believe they are our most precious family members. My own pups are spoiled, loved beyond measure, talked to way too much, and make up more photos in my camera roll than people do. So when your dog is in my care, you can expect plenty of love, attention, playtime, walks, cuddles, and—when appropriate—a completely reasonable amount of treats. (I will, of course, follow your rules. I promise not to undermine your parenting.) I know leaving your pet with someone else can be stressful. I want you to feel confident that your furry family member is safe, happy, and getting lots of attention while you’re away. I’ll take the time to learn your pet’s personality, routine, favorite activities, and all of their adorable little quirks. I will meet them where they are. Is your dog a professional cuddler? Excellent. A walking enthusiast? Let’s go! A little shy and needs time to warm up? No problem. Convinced they are the CEO of the household? I’m familiar with that dynamic! I’ll follow your instructions carefully, keep you updated with photos and messages, and make sure your pet gets the kind of individualized care I’d want for my own boys. My goal is simple: when you’re away, I want your dog to be safe and happy. I want them to be thrilled to see you, but relieved they spent time with a friend. I’d love to meet your four-legged family members and give them all the love and attention they deserve! My schedule is currently very flexible, which gives me plenty of time to make pet care a meaningful part of my day. I have two dogs of my own, so caring for pets is already a natural part of my daily routine—from morning walks and feeding to playtime, cuddles, and making sure they get plenty of attention throughout the day. Because I have flexibility in my schedule right now, I’m able to give your pets the time and attention they deserve rather than trying to squeeze their care in around a hectic schedule. I can accommodate walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and overnight care depending on your pet’s needs. I also understand that consistency is important to pets. I’m happy to follow their normal routines as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in their/your home, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their people are away. I live in a clean and clutter-free apartment with a dog park, so I am happy to care for a single dog in my home, if needed, or I’m happy to come to your home to keep your pet comfortable and happy in the environment they know. For walks and drop-in visits, I’ll make sure they get exercise, playtime, attention, fresh water, and potty breaks. For in-home or overnight care, I’ll keep their normal feeding, sleeping, and activity routines and make sure they get plenty of companionship and affection. I’m also very respectful of your home and your instructions. I’ll carefully follow any special directions you provide, including medications, feeding requirements, behavioral considerations, or things your pet may be nervous or uncomfortable around. Communication is important to me, too. I’ll keep you updated and send pictures so you can relax knowing your furry family member is doing well.

About: I'm a stay-at-home mom so I'm available to shower your pup with affection and attention. We have a great backyard as well as a great neighborhood to take walks. I can't wait to meet your dog! I am currently a stay-at-home mom so have great flexibility in caring for your pooch. If I am not home, one of my older kids will be so your pup is never lonely. I have a fenced in backyard and a lovely neighborhood to walk in. I do have one small dog who is incredibly friendly and is looking forward to having a buddy.

“I had to leave unexpectedly to visit a sick sister. Chelsea did an amazing job with a very short run through of what my cat needed. In addition my cat is a 9 year old indoor rescue that I have not even had a year, so she is a little leary of people. She took right to Chelsea. Having to leave unexpectedly brought it own challenges and Chelsea went above and beyond in looking out for Luna, my cat. I cannot say enough good things about Chelsea and highly recommend her.”

About: Hi! My name is Dani, and I’m currently a graduate student looking to earn some extra income doing something I genuinely love — caring for animals. I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and since high school I’ve volunteered at animal shelters helping care for dogs and cats of all personalities and needs. I understand how important it is to find someone you fully trust with your pets, and I always treat every animal like they’re my own. Whether that means long walks, playtime, cuddles, sticking to routines, or just making sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away, I truly put care and attention into every visit. I’m responsible, patient, attentive, and experienced with animals that are shy, energetic, anxious, or need a little extra love. As a grad student, I also have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to your pets and give them the care they deserve. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family members! As a graduate student completing my degree online, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time and attention to your pets throughout the day. I also go to the gym daily for about an hour and a half, which fits easily into my routine while still allowing plenty of availability for walks, playtime, feeding schedules, drop-ins, and overnight care. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so I love being able to spend my time with pets while also earning extra income during grad school. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they feel loved, safe, and cared for while you’re away. I always follow routines carefully, pay close attention to behavior and surroundings, and make responsible decisions to keep everyone safe — including your pets, your home, and myself. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, anxious, or needs extra patience, I provide attentive and compassionate care at all times.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Black Forest

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Black Forest on Rover is $18.87 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 2,764 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Black Forest. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

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.

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 Black Forest. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.

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.
