About: I’ve been caring for pets for most of my life. I grew up surrounded by animals, from bunnies and guinea pigs to horses and dogs, which taught me early on how different personalities and needs can be. For the past 14 years, I’ve been dog sitting both small and large breeds, building hands-on experience with everything from high-energy pups to calmer, senior dogs. I also have my own nine year old mini Maltese, Simba, who is deeply loved and well cared for, and has only strengthened my understanding of daily dog care, routines, and emotional needs. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly life. I’m a freelance filmmaker, fitness trainer, and yoga instructor, so my schedule is flexible and movement-based. Walks, outdoor time, and structured routines are already part of my day, making it easy to incorporate dog walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and check-ins. I enjoy being active and outdoors, so caring for dogs feels like a natural extension of my lifestyle rather than a side task. I always follow the pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, whether that’s in my home or the client’s home. This includes feeding schedules, walks, exercise, play, rest, and any specific instructions you provide. I keep environments clean, calm, and organized, and make sure pets feel safe, relaxed, and comfortable. I’m happy to take dogs on walks, hikes, or to dog parks if that’s something you prefer, or keep things low-key with shorter walks and companionship. My focus is always on attentive, loving, and responsible care tailored to each pet’s personality and needs.
“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!”
“It's extremely rare for me to trust anyone with my dog but Kara was a breath of fresh air. She handled my TPLO recovering girl with the most love and care.”
“Charis is absolutely wonderful! She really took time to play with our cats and got to know them. I am so grateful to have gotten small updates at every visit and beautiful pictures of my fur-babies. I will definitely book with Charis again for our next trip!”

About: I am new to rover. I decided to join because of my love for dogs and needing profit while in school. I would love to do anything needed with and/for your dog. Being a pet parent myself, I understand the importance of tailoring needs to each dog. I adopted my first dog when I was 10 and I adopted my second puppy, Nix, at 12 weeks in July 2025. He knows sit, stay, retrieve, wait for food, shake, high five, fetch, find, etc. He is crate trained and can be left alone for up to 6 hours. He can go on stress free walks with his gentle lead & e collar while performing heal, wait, and go. I have experience watching & walking family and friends dogs-house sitting out of state. I have experience walking dogs and their behavior on walks as I take Nix five miles every other day. I am currently between jobs and am soon to be going back to school part-time, so I have plenty of time to entertain your pets! I have a fenced mulched area in the front of my house- no yard- but plenty of contained space to be let out to potty…this is what I do with my pup. I take my pup on a five mile walk daily and am very active to do whatever distance/time walk.
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember and caring for them has always been a huge part of my life. When I lived in Tennessee, I was the go-to dog walker and pet sitter in my neighborhood and was consistently booked every single day. I also worked at a veterinary clinic for three years during school breaks, which gave me hands-on experience with a wide range of animals, temperaments, and care needs. I currently have a Border Collie that I trained myself, along with a German Shorthaired Pointer, so I’m very familiar with high-energy breeds and the importance of both physical activity and mental stimulation. I’m active, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals of all kinds. Right now, I’m studying full-time for my physical therapy boards, which gives me a very flexible schedule to provide reliable and consistent care. I’m observant, responsible, and truly treat every pet like my own—with patience, care, and lots of love. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I’m currently studying full-time for my physical therapy boards, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to prioritize pet care throughout the day. I plan my study blocks around walks, feedings, playtime, and check-ins to make sure each pet gets consistent attention and care. I’m already used to an active routine with my own dogs, so adding walks, outdoor time, and structured play is something I genuinely enjoy and look forward to. I’m able to accommodate morning, midday, and evening needs, and I’m reliable when it comes to maintaining a pet’s normal schedule. Overall, pet care isn’t something I “fit in”, it’s something I intentionally build my day around to ensure pets get the time, attention, and care they deserve. I provide attentive, personalized care based on each pet’s routine, personality, and needs. In a client’s home, I prioritize keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their normal schedule—feeding times, walks, play, and any medications—while also keeping the space clean and secure. I’m very communicative and will send regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. They get plenty of exercise, structured play, and a safe, supervised environment. I’m especially experienced with high-energy dogs, so I make sure they get both physical activity and mental stimulation. I’m always observant of behavior, appetite, and overall health to ensure pets stay happy and safe. Whether in my home or yours, I’m reliable, patient, and genuinely care about making pets feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for.
“Our first experience with Rover couldn't have been better and it's all thanks to Dezarae! We really appreciated the updates and pictures every time she checked on our turtle & elderly cat while we were on vacation. They both seem to warm up to Dezarae quickly and we'd highly recommend using her to pet/house sit! We'll definitely be asking her to come back whenever we leave town from now on!”
“Jenny was great. I have a difficult young Belgian Malinois so Jenny was nice enough to take the time to come over before watching her for a meet and greet. Then the day of I accidentally locked her out and she was patient enough to wait until the door opened to take my dog out. Was super happy with the overall experience and would highly recommend.”
About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life. When I was little, we used to breed dogs so I have puppy care. I work with dogs from puppies to older dogs. I give meds to dogs feed dogs on the daily. I have a full time job at a dog daycare. My shifts are 9 hours. I usually work either 6:30-3:30 or 8:00-5:00. Other than that my schedule is all yours! In my home I take my dog to go to the bathroom every hour. They have fresh water. They get fed at the same time everyday. I always put my animals before myself.
“Thank you for the fast response and accommodating me last minute! Wonderful pictures and definitely made me at ease knowing that they are ok :) 10/10 will book again!”
“This was our second time booking with Kyla and we were beyond happy and impressed! She took exceptional care of our older cat while we were away and gave us such peace of mind to enjoy our trip! She was responsible, warm, and above and beyond kind to our fur baby! We came back to such a happy cat and can’t wait to book with Kyla again!”

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Black Forest is $19 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $30 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .
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.

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 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.
