About: I’m an animal lover who goes above and beyond while caring for your dog. I always follow the pet owner's directions carefully so that the pet will be happy while they are in my care and the owner will be at ease knowing that their pet is in good hands. I have a family who has years of pet sitting experience. I can come to your house to feed or walk your dog or other pets. I love all animals so I am interested in caring for your cats and other pets. I have many references. I am a college student. My schedule is very flexible, I am available every day at any time to come and take care of your pets. I can be trusted to go to your home and lock the doors and set the alarm. If transporting your dog, I would be confident in putting on harnesses, leashes, and any other items you request.

Eleanor is amazing with my cats and they both really respond to her, even my shy cat! She's also very communicative and responsive and is comfortable getting detailed instructions (both of my cats require special medicine / feeding instructions). This isn't my first time booking her for cat care and I would definitely book her again!

About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, and I’m a pet owner myself. I’m very patient, attentive, and truly enthusiastic about animals. I’ve cared for puppies as well as senior dogs, and I understand that each pet has unique needs and routines. I’m also knowledgeable about basic training and enjoy helping pets feel comfortable, safe, and happy. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home with a very flexible schedule. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day, including regular potty breaks, playtime, and multiple walks. I also have a fenced yard and a safe environment where dogs can relax and get fresh air. I love having pets as part of my day and making sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and happy. My home provides a safe, welcoming environment for pets. I have a large fenced yard and plenty of indoor space for your pet to relax and play comfortably. If needed, I can also set up a crate based on your request and your pet’s routine. We also have nearby walkways and parks, making it easy to enjoy regular outdoor walks and fresh air.

I’m patient, attentive, and love getting to know each pet and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for! I’m primarily available Thursday through Sunday, with a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to each pet. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and companionship throughout the day, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual routine. When caring for pets in their home, I focus on keeping them comfortable and maintaining their normal routine. I follow each pet parent’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medication, and any special care needs. I also make sure their environment stays safe and secure while giving them plenty of attention, playtime, and affection.

About: My love for animals—especially dogs—is unmatched. I have hands-on experience training my own Dobermans and caring for a wide variety of dogs and cats. I’m especially comfortable working with anxious, shy, or high-sensitivity dogs, and I take a calm, patient approach to help pets feel safe, secure, and at ease. I treat every pet like my own and focus on providing consistent, loving care while you’re away. I work from home full-time, which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive, consistent care throughout the day. Whether it’s midday walks, playtime, or simply keeping your pet company, my schedule allows me to be fully present and responsive to your pet’s needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a secure, spacious home with plenty of room for pets to relax and play. I’m also located near a dog park, offering great opportunities for exercise and socialization in a controlled environment. I treat every pet in my care with the same love and attention I give my own.

About: l've cared for cats and dogs of all ages, including young pets and those needing extra patience. I have experience raising, socializing, and looking after animals and truly enjoy spending time with them. I'm dependable, detail-oriented with routines (feeding, playtime, litter/cleanup, walks), and I always make sure owners get regular updates and photos while they're away. I’m available for pet care on Fridays after 5:00 PM and anytime on weekends, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention and care during those times. I’m happy to accommodate drop-ins, check-ins, or sitting during those days and will make sure your pet sticks to their normal routine as closely as possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority. When caring for pets in my home, I introduce them slowly to the environment and keep them separated at first if needed to help them adjust safely. I always follow the owner’s instructions, keep a clean and calm space, and make sure pets are supervised and well cared for at all times. I also provide updates and photos so you can feel confident while you’re away.

We had such a great experience with our Rover sitter Susan! ❤️ She came by twice in one day to take out and feed our puppy and our older dog, and she was so sweet and caring with both of them. She kept us updated throughout the day and sent us the cutest pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. 🐶💕 It was clear that both of our pups were in great hands and they loved her. We would absolutely recommend her!

Stephanie was very pleasant, lively, enthusiastic. Our dog took to her very well when they first met. We were away for several days with no Wifi, and trusted her to take care of our dog. She provided comfort to our dog who has separation anxiety. Yes, we recommend her to others.

Tessa did an awesome job of keeping us informed while we were away during our trip and sending us lots if photos. Our pets seemed happy and loved on. House was in order when we returned and she went above and beyond doing somethings we didn't expect her to take care of such as taking out trash and scooping litter since it was a short trip.

Gabby is absolutely wonderful, and we are so happy we found her! From the very beginning, she took the time to do a meet-and-greet with our dog, Chance, which immediately put us at ease. She is incredibly professional, caring, and attentive. During each visit, Gabby provided detailed updates about how Chance was doing, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was clear from her communication and interactions that she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. We always felt confident that Chance was safe, happy, and in great hands. We truly could not have asked for a better experience. Gabby went above and beyond, and we would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and compassionate pet sitter. We look forward to having her care for Chance again in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Fords on Rover is $22.2 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 Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 24,483 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Fords. 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 Fords 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 Fords 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 Fords with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Fords. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% 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.

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.
