“Daniela was very friendly and communicative, and took fantastic care of our dogs. She’s asks questions proactively and goes the extra mile to ensure she’s prepared for any emergency that might be thrown her way. 10/10”

“We had a great experience with Morgan! She did an excellent job understanding Mollie’s specific needs and making sure she was safe and comfortable while we were away. Being out of the country for a week was a bit stressful, but her regular check-ins and updates really helped put our minds at ease. It was clear she genuinely cared about Mollie and took her responsibilities seriously. We’re very grateful for her care and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive sitter.”


“Thank you Katherine for house sitting for us over the weekend this past weekend. Much appreciated. Dogs and cats were happy and in good care. Katherine was punctual for the meet and great, and for the start and end times of the house sitting. House was left clean as if she was not here. Thank you again!”

“Crystal was amazing with Harley. She provided daily updates with photos and many with videos. She's very attentive... checked the mail, noticed an active hornets nest at the back of my complex and reported it to staff, and left my place nice and neat at the end of her stay... even washed the bedding! I will definitely be reaching out to Crystal again for pet/ house sitting, again. 10/10 Recommend 😊”

“Natalie was great! We had to go out of town and she was available on short notice. She took great care of our three dogs and sent daily pictures and updates. She was very thorough and super friendly. Highly recommended!”

About: I have been watching a few neighbors pets for a few years now and I’m looking to meet new fluffy friends! I have a passion for all animals and I have experience with dogs and cats of all different ages and size. I would be honored with the opportunity to spoil your best friend!❤️🐱🐶 I work part time at a restaurant at the moment so my shifts are only as long as 5 hours at a time. This will give me plenty of time to care for your pets.

About: Former dog mamma of 2 (15+ years), and 5-time rescue cat mamma! Around town, you might see me whispering “I love you” to dogs as they’re being walked or wearing my cat backpack with one of my 4 cats in it! Prepare for lots of pics of your sweet one when we’re together 🍄 Freelancer here, so I move my scheduled based on you! I worked between 10:30 and 5pm, but can be flex if your sweet one has additional needs. I match your animal’s energy. Sometimes animals need a calmer disposition and sometimes they need to get a whole lot of energy out — both of which I’m *always* eager to help them with. 💕 As a cat mom, I have 2 cats with a TON of energy and 2 with severe anxiety, so I’m always ebbing and flowing to keep the peace for all of them!

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I had a dog named Rocco and two cats, Snapshot and Misty. They were a big part of my family and gave me a genuine appreciation for the companionship, personality, and love that pets bring into our lives. Today, I’m lucky to have two cats of my own, Oreo and Nutterbutter. 🐱❤️ Having pets throughout my life has given me plenty of experience understanding that every animal is different. Some are playful and energetic, some love cuddles and attention, while others are a little more independent and need time to warm up. When caring for your pet, I’ll treat them like one of my own. I’ll make sure they receive the attention, affection, food, exercise, playtime, and care they need while you’re away. I’m patient, dependable, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Five Forks
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.

Daniela is amazing: reliable, kind, gives attention to detail, excellent pet care for my dog and cats, and great communication. Administers meds as needed. When I come home my place is clean and orderly and my pets are content- the way they act when they really like and feel safe with a sitter.

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
