About: I have been around animals all my life and even gravitate towards animals versus people in most social situations. I have cared for small Poodles and Terriers, as well as Labs and Great Danes. When I was in middle school, I taught my Golden Retriever obedience and agility. I put 110% effort into all jobs I am hired for because it’s truly something I love. I am an active individual who also loves to snuggle up on the couch with a good book. So whether your pet is an active walker or a cuddly couch potato, I promise to provide them with the love care they need while you are away. I can't wait to sit for your family and help ease your worry while you’re away! Before going to work as a teacher, I would make sure to check in on your pet in the morning. Feed them, take them potty, and depending on time take them for a morning walk. Directly after work, I would go home to see my cat Benny, and then go visit your house. I’ll make sure that your pup is fed, goes on a walk, or has a great amount of playtime and snuggles! Before taking them outside at your house, I would make sure that your dog is either on a leash, the yard fence is closed, or their recall is good with me. Most importantly, I want to make sure that in a new situation and with someone new in their home, they somehow do not get loose.
About: We have been loving and caring for dogs for a long time. Big and small dogs; young and old. Our son and 7 year old dog are welcoming I am currently working from home and Bryan works part time. Our son is home schooled at this time, therefore, we have time and energy to help other dogs and other families We have a large yard in a quiet neighborhood; part of our yard is fenced and other part is open for additional exercise. We also walk our dog daily.
“Jackie was a perfect fit for my drop in visits and day care. She was thorough in getting to know Apollo and his needs. She followed my recommendations and went above and beyond to make sure Apollo was taken care of, some people are just naturals when it comes to caring for pets, and I believe Jackie is one of them, 100/10 recommend!”
“Shatoria was so great with my cats. She is very responsive and a great listener. I had a lot of changes in care instructions, and she handled everything patiently and without any issues. She kept me updated, followed all the details carefully, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. I could tell my cats were well cared for and comfortable with her. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive pet sitter.”
About: I have experience fostering cats and dogs of all ages the last 6 years. I have experience with special needs dogs and cats, reactive dogs, and puppy training.

“Judging from the photos it looks like you did a fantastic job and I appreciate you being so communicative. We’ll be out of town DEC 23-29, and I’d love to discuss scheduling for those dates if you’re available.”
“Emily and her family are by far the BEST sitters I have ever had! They are so sweet, communicative, flexible, and knowledgeable. I hope to use them every time I need extra help with my buddy.”
About: I’ve been dog sitting for a couple years now. I’ve had experience from little to big dogs. From a basenji, labrador, german shepherd, great pyrenees mix, a yorkie, and a few other breeds! Friends rely on me to exercise, feed, and give attention to their fur baby. 😊 I have plenty of time on the weekends! I’m currently available at any time Friday-Sunday to take care of your sweet pets! Can start at any point of the day or night! I take care of pets as if they were my own! 🥰 I care about their safety, what they eat, who comes around them, how much outside time they get. I promise to take care of them and give them all the attention. I want to be able to give them some love and snuggles while watching some tv. I make sure to stick to their food schedule and like to let them out every 2-4 hours. Daily exercise is important to me, I like to go on walks and can always use a walking buddy! 🐶
About: I have worked at three different doggy daycare and boarding businesses within the past four years. I have been dog sitting for family and friends for years! I treat every dog as my own!

I don’t have any children, just one cat who is very friendly and playful with other dogs and cats!
“Chris was awesome with my boy Monty! He was quick to respond, attentive, and I felt so comfortable knowing he was going to be with my pup. Monty was in great hands. 10/10 recommend, thanks Chris!”
“I needed 4 days of drop in care for my 2 spoiled kitties and Jasmine did a great job. The kitty bowls were washed, the litter box was clean, and most importantly my cats had attention while I was away. Jasmine is very dependable and clearly loves animals. I highly recommend her!”
“We've just hired Tammy for the first time to care for our dog while we were out of town for a day. She was friendly and professional every step of the way and clearly likes dogs! Our dog is pretty shy with strangers and he warmed up to her nicely. I would use her services again and recommend her to others.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Deforest
This was my (and my girls’!) first time using the Rover app and Heather was outstanding! She was flexible and was able to accommodate my crazy schedule with time to meet my girls and see if their personalities were a good match. (Side note: they totally were.) I loved the details and the report card she left for me about the goings on of their adventures together. Thank you, Heather, for making my girls’ first experience amazing! 🩷

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 Deforest 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 Deforest 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 .
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.
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 Deforest with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.

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.
