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.

About: I’ve taken care of my own pets since I was 6, so I know how to take care of different pets no matter what kinda of pet is. I just love animals! , so I don’t mind taking care of them. :> I am currently working part-time in a university dining hall in the afternoons , where I work every other weekend. I have classes in the mornings; however, I am fully available during school breaks, and my sister and parents help me taking care of the pet when I’m not at home.(My schedule might change when classes start) I have a younger sister of 11 years friendly and loves pets. I don’t have my own yard but outside my house there’s a nice space for pets where they can run, walk safe. It’s like a nice big green yard basically.

Laura provided excellent service and communication regarding our cats while we were gone for 9 days. My 2 senior cats need daily medication (oral pills and topical cream) and Laura was comfortable with this situation. When we booked our vacation, months ago, they didn't need any medication, so finding the right sitter leading up to our time away was stressful for me, but Laura was great and helped me feel more at ease while on our big family vacation. It turned out that one of my cats would hide with each visit, which I'm sure was annoying to manage, but Laura stuck with it. We can't thank her enough for caring for our aging cats!

We've booked repeated drop-ins with Gabby for our doggo, and Gabby has been excellent! She is great at communicating updates when she does drop-ins, and sends lots of pics of our doggo having a nice time. She'll definitely become your dog's best friend in no time! Thank you Gabby for making our experience using rover so easy, and for treating our pooch like one of your own!

Michael has been absolutely wonderful with our doggo! He has such a care and attention to her needs, and even helped out when she got into trouble and got into our pantry lol. We have a reactive dog, and he's been great with taking her for walks and managing her energy and needs safely. We can tell that she is very comfortable with him, and would recommend Micheal to anyone with a furry friend! :)

About: Returning to Rover after a break. I am a dog mom and animal lover located in Woodbridge. I started out watching pets for friends and family. From dogs and cats to reptiles. My first ever job was at Camp Bow Wow, a doggy day care and boarding center. I spent time playing, feeding, and caring for dogs of all ages and sizes. I was also a volunteer at St. Huberts Animal Welfare Center. I took care of the cats and helped the dogs get exercise by taking them for long walks. I have a 12 year old shih tzu/poodle mix named Dusty who I adopted. Available most weekends and weekday evenings. My hybrid work schedule gives me some flexibility. Calendar with availability is updated regularly. Please message about weekdays as I may be able to accommodate Depending on the dog's energy levels we can sit and cuddle or walk and play. I will make sure they stay on their daily schedule of potty breaks and feeding. Can give oral medicine and crate as requested. Will give treats if allowed.

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.

This was my first time using Rover and leaving my dogs, Mocha and Matcha, home alone, so I was very anxious. I hired McKenna in advance, and she even did a couple of visits while we were still home to get to know them. When the actual trip started, I felt so guilty I almost cut it short—but McKenna reassured me with such kindness. She followed every instruction, came twice a day, fed, walked, and played with them, sent photo updates, and even stayed extra time to comfort them. Mocha doesn’t usually trust strangers, but she warmed up to McKenna quickly. Matcha loved her too! McKenna made the whole experience smooth and worry-free. I’ve already asked if she’s available again in July! So grateful and blessed to have found someone who truly treats my pups like her own.

About: I've had small to medium sized dogs but that does not limit me to any other sizes. I enjoy having dogs as company and playing with them till we’re both tired. I work from home and will go to the office at least once a month if needed. My work schedule is 9AM-5PM but I would be able to take your dog outside throughout the day. I live in a friendly and quiet neighborhood and parks are also available near me. I have the flexibility to drive any distance between 5-15 miles away from my home. Please require any special instructions that you would like followed for your dog and any health concerns they may have. Can't wait you meet you and your furry friend! Thank you for your consideration.

About: Hi, I’m Cherish! I’ve been passionately pet sitting since 2019. While I took a brief break from Rover, I am so excited to be back doing what I love most: providing top-tier, reliable care for your fur babies. Over the years, I have specialized in advanced pet care. I am fully confident and experienced in administering medications, including both oral treatments and injections. I also have a deep tenderness and specialized experience caring for blind and deaf dogs, ensuring they feel safe, secure, and loved. Don't worry if your pup is on the younger side, though—I have plenty of stamina to keep up with high-energy puppies who need lots of playtime! In addition to dogs I have experience with single or multi-cat households as well as exotic pet care like birds, turtles, lizards, chinchillas, and fish Dog Room and Care Services for Your Furry Friend Your beloved pet deserves the best and I am excited to offer a dedicated dog room in my home that provides everything your pup needs for comfort, including crates, couches, and cots. I guarantee your furry friend will have plenty of playtime and potty breaks, alternating every 2 to 3 hours between indoor and outdoor activities. Please note that all new guests are required to have a meet and greet prior to booking their stay, and unfortunately, same-day bookings cannot be accommodated. My goal is to stick to your pet's schedule and ensure that every stay is a positive and enjoyable experience. I have a fenced in yard and dedicated dog room. For any pups who may not be adjusting to the pup room I do allow them in other areas of the house.

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!

She carefully followed all of my instructions, including giving his medication with a Pill Pocket, and was very responsive whenever I had questions or requests. My flight was unexpectedly delayed on my way home, and she was kind enough to accept a last-minute morning visit so Remy could receive his medication on time. I really appreciated her flexibility, reliability, and great communication. I would absolutely book with her again!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Fords

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Fords on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 25,666 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.

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 Fords. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% 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.
