“Daniela took extra steps to ensure my pets were comfortable and cared for. I frequently feel nervous leaving my pets with someone new, but she was amazing with communication and it eased my mind knowing she was there to care for them. I would use Daniela in the future!!”

About: I’ve been taking care of animals for four years now, I began in my own neighborhood, and then ventured out to helping others in need of animal care. I love it and I am extremely flexible when it comes to caring for your pets! I currently work very early mornings at my job, which leads me to be out around noon. I am available everyday, and love snuggling, playing, and walks with any furry friend! I care for your pets in the way that best suits your needs. I typically will cater differently to everyone, some animals are older and don’t want to go on walks, some need to burn energy all day long! It’s completely up to you how your animal is cared for.
“Maddie did a great job taking care of my full household (2 dogs and 2 cats) while I was away for an extended weekend trip. One of my dogs is fairly shy with new people and her feeding is complicated with multiple medications, but Maddie was able to get her to warm up quickly and had no problem figuring out her quirks. Maddie also sent me pics which I loved getting and was always quick to respond when I asked how things were going. Would definitely have her look after them again in the future!”
About: Hi! I’m a dependable and caring pet lover who understands that pets are family. I provide attentive, personalized care so your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have experience with puppies to senior. I have worked with dogs that have had trauma in the past and special needs. My goal is simple, to make your pets feel happy, secure, and cared for like they’re part of my own family. If your pet loves attention, belly rubs, playtime, treats, or simply having someone nearby who truly cares we’ll get along great. I’m the kind of sitter who talks to pets like they’re people, notices the little things, and makes sure they feel comfortable and loved while you’re away. I know how important trust is when choosing someone to care for your furry family member, so I focus on reliability, communication, and creating a stress-free experience for both pets and owners. Expect lots of updates, adorable photos, and a pet who’s excited to see me again. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and building consistent routines around their care. I have a flexible schedule and make it a priority to provide your fur babies with the attention, exercise, companionship, and reliability they need to feel safe and comfortable. Whether it’s walks, feeding schedules, playtime, or simply giving them extra love and attention, I enjoy making pet care a meaningful part of my day. I provide a safe, loving, and structured environment for your fur babies both in my home and in my clients’ homes. In my home, they are treated like part of the family and receive plenty of attention, supervision, playtime, and affection throughout the day. I offer boarding in a home with a secure fenced in yard, which gives dogs a safe space for exercise, outdoor time, and play. I make it a priority to maintain each ones normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any special instructions from the owner. I also understand how important communication is, so I provide regular updates and photos to help parents feel comfortable and connected while they are away. When caring for them in a client’s home, I am respectful of their space and focus on keeping your fur baby comfortable in their familiar environment while ensuring they receive dependable, attentive care.
About: I have been around dogs my entire life. I take pride in my ability to communicate and treat other people as well as animals with mutual respect. ✝️💪🏼 I am currently a full time student for nursing. I have class Monday-Friday but should be available later in the afternoon/evening. We will just have to communicate which is fine. I also go to the gym and to church on Sundays ✝️💪🏼. I have pets that are indoor and I let them out to play outside in a fenced in back yard. I also walk my pets to help them with their health and mine as well as getting rid of some built up energy that they may have.
“We went out of the country for 8 days and asked Brittany to house sit and watch our two big dogs and she was very reliable. She sent us daily updates and let us know how the dogs were doing/asking if anything else needed to be done for them. She also left the house in great shape when we got home. It was a big relief having her there since we did not have service for a lot of the trip.”
“Liv arrived on time, communicated throughout the time she was with our pets and left the house clean. Our pets were healthy & happy upon our return. I'd recommend Liv to others that need pet care.”

About: Whenever I leave town, my dog struggles with separation anxiety. My hope in dog sitting is that I can help your fur babies feel loved while you are away. My number 1 priority is to love your babies as you do when you are home. To many, our animals are an extension of our family and all the animals I watch have a place in my heart. While I am most comfortable with cats and dogs. I work full time so dog walking would only be able to take place in the morning and the evening. I have been dog sitting for 4 years now and have loved meeting new fur babies and learning their personalities. I can not wait to meet you and your fur babies.
“Kathryn was wonderful! From her communication to her natural ability to bring a calm presence to my anxious pup, she was great from start to finish. She was communicative, flexible, and timely, and made both my dog and me feel completely at ease. I would highly recommend her and will absolutely be using her again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Five Forks
We couldn’t have asked for a more caring and compassionate pet sitter! From the moment we met Daniela, we felt completely at ease knowing our fur babies were in her trusted hands. She was so kind, loving, and attentive, and she treated our babies as if they were her own. She kept us updated with pictures and adorable updates while we were away and made sure they felt safe and comfortable. Being able to relax and enjoy our time away without worrying was such a gift. We’re incredibly grateful for the warmth, patience, and genuine care she provided. We would wholeheartedly recommend Daniela to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving, and dependable pet sitter. You can feel confident knowing your beloved pets will be treated with kindness and cared for as if they were family. We would happily trust her with our fur babies again!
Gioia has been great with the boys! I’ve got a 7yr old husky mix and a 1 yr old 110lb cane corso. She’s green great with them both. She knows how to show love to the old man when the little guy wants all the attention. I have peace of mind when we are out of town knowing Gioia is watching the boys.
Margaret is the best dog sitter. My dog needed meds from the vet and she went out of her way to go get them, even offered to pay for them for the time being, and took special care of my dog to ensure he was okay and happy. She communicates great through the Rover app, leaves my home clean and tidy, and makes sure my dog is well taken care of every time.
We needed an all day sitter last minute. Miriam was so sweet and came over the meet the dogs ahead of time. And then the day of, she picked them up and brought them home. We had a wedding that day and couldn't be home. It worked out great! I can't wait to utilize Miriam again. :) I highly recommend!!

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 Five Forks 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 Five Forks 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 Five Forks 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.
