“Roselin was AMAZING with our fur babies! We were visiting from out of town and scheduled an excursion that would keep us out late. I scheduled her to come out that same day. She was very responsive and followed our precise instructions. Highly recommend and will definitely keep her in mind when we come back to visit.”
“Courtney was great and came to the rescue with my last minute visit request with full support! I have two dogs with very different needs and she made sure they both were well taken care. Super grateful to have had her as a sitter!”

“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.”
“Karen did a wonderful job with my dog Callou . I appreciate her keeping me up to date and replying with pictures after every visit. I have ask her to help me with Callou's care for a unexpected trip this coming weekend which she graciously accepted without much notice. I highly recommend Karen !!”
About: I've spent close to my whole living with dogs. Constantly learning how to better train them and care for them. Besides my love for dogs, I also have extensive training in emergency training for dogs. I was also a Flight Medic for the military, which included being trained and tasked with caring for injured or sick military working dogs. While I'd never claim to be an expert in this field, you can trust that I know how to take care of your furry family members. I am currently working full time for this position until my civilian licensure in Healthcare is approved, which will take several months. I'll be available day and night, and have no problem working on the weekends if we schedule in advance. I have a fenced in yard and 3 dogs that live with my wife and I. Tucker is a chocolate lab, he's the oldest at 10. Milo and Kiwi are two high energy German Short-haired Pointers, at 4 and 2 years old. We split between fresh food and kibble, and are no strangers to giving medications to our dogs.
“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!”
“Kelsey took great care of our little Margarita (Cat) keeping us updated with photos and great descriptions of her daily activities while we were away! Highly recommend her for any sitting needs!”
“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!”
“We're so glad we found Katilyn! She was attentive, communicative, and took wonderful care of Ahsoka and Thorin. Her updates gave us peace of mind while we were away, and she made the whole experience stress-free. We highly recommend her!”
“We were a little nervous since this was our first time using a dog sitter, but she completely exceeded our expectations! She was so kind, attentive, and clearly cared a lot about our dog—who absolutely loved her. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pup was in such good hands. We also really appreciated the updates and how easy the app made it to stay in touch. We would definitely book with her again!”

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Black Forest on Rover is $18.87 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 2,769 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.
