About: I have been in the veterinary field for over five years. I have been a vet assistant, so I do have experience working with all times of pets. From all stages of life. I do have experience with giving medication and senior pets. I aim to learn the pet's habits to make sure they are happy while you are away. I'm currently working part-time. I'm available for pet sitting on the weekends,and Tuesday and Wednesday during the week. Also on the weekends I can do walking. Since I will be coming to your home, I will make sure to meet and spend time with your pet. To make sure you're pet is comfortable with me. Also, to see the energy of your pet. If your pet is on any medication, ill make sure they are given and know who their veterinarian is just in case of emergency. Then following any feeding instructions.
“Madison is superb. She’s incredibly responsive and responsible. We were nervous about leaving our pups behind and concerned we might have trouble finding someone brave AND loving enough to care for the bully breed. Madison didn’t flinch and our dogs took to her immediately. She is professional, kind, punctual, caring, and will even send photos, which is incredibly thoughtful and reassuring. We won’t hesitate to rely on Madison in the future and highly recommend her services to others.”
“We hired Heather to watch our sweet boy while we were away for Christmas, and she was AMAZING! I trusted that my fur-baby was taken care of and given all the love he needed. I highly recommend Heather to watch after your pets!!”
About: Hi! I’m a dependable and caring animal lover with years of hands-on experience working with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I grew up with two dogs and have been consistently walking and caring for pets from middle school through college. I also worked at a doggy daycare, where I gained experience handling multiple dogs, maintaining routines, and making sure every pet felt safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m patient, hardworking, and reliable, and I truly love spending time with animals. I have a very flexible schedule and can usually accommodate a variety of days and times throughout the week. I enjoy spending time with animals and make pet care a priority in my routine, whether that means feeding, playtime, walks, check-ins, or overnight care. I’m dependable, responsive, and committed to making sure your pets get plenty of attention and care while you’re away. I always focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. I understand that every animal has different needs and personalities, so I take the time to make them feel secure and cared for. Whether I’m caring for pets in your home or mine, I’ll follow all routines and instructions closely and make sure they receive lots of attention, patience, and love.
“Carsyn has such a heart for animals. From the moment I met her I knew she would treat my baby boy with the same love and care I do. My puppy took right to her. I can say she is a blessing as I dont just trust anyone with my boy.”
About: I stand out because I combine years of hands‑on pet care with formal training in progress. At home I care for a playful 9‑month‑old pup, a tiny 18‑year‑old chihuahua, plus beetles and bearded dragons—so I’m experienced with both energetic puppies and delicate seniors, as well as exotic pets. My dedication to animals has led me to pursue a future in the pet care service field. I have earned many certificates for animal care such as certification for Working with Dogs and Pet First Aid / CPR. I’m available Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. -5 p.m. for dog walks, and during those hours I’m fully devoted to caring for your pets. While I balance family life with a child at home, pet care is truly part of my everyday routine—24/7 with my own animals—so giving reliable, loving attention to yours fits naturally into my schedule. I am a very “by the book” person who values safety, respect, and trust above all else. If I enter a client’s home, I make sure to only do what I am hired to do, treating both your pets and your space with the utmost care. My years of experience as a housekeeper taught me how important it is to be trustworthy and respectful of others’ belongings, and I carry those same standards into pet care. Loving animals is one of my core morals, and I would never jeopardize my family, my work, or your trust.
About: I’ve grown up with four dogs, so taking care of pups is second nature to me! Over the years, I’ve handled everything from basic training to feeding schedules and making sure they feel loved and comfortable. Recently, I boarded an 8-week-old puppy for a couple of nights, and it was such a fun experience! I love staying active and going on walks, so your dog will get plenty of exercise and fresh air. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or making sure their routine is just right, I’m all in. I’m dedicated to treating your pet like family and ensuring they feel at home while you’re away! I’m currently a graduate student at Liberty University, and all of my classes are online. I also work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to spend plenty of quality time with the pets in my care. Whether it’s walks, playtime, potty breaks, or simply keeping them company, I make sure every pet receives the attention, love, and consistency they deserve. I keep my calendar up to date and only accept bookings I know I can fully commit to, so you can feel confident your pet is in reliable hands. I prioritize safety and trust when caring for pets, whether at my home or my client’s. I create a comfortable, stress-free environment where your pet can feel at ease, and I’m attentive to their specific needs, from feeding routines to any special care they require. I’m also very mindful of pet safety, making sure to keep an eye on their surroundings, whether it’s during walks or in the home. In your home, I treat your space with respect, maintaining your pet’s routine to minimize stress while you’re away. My goal is to build a trusting relationship with both you and your pet, ensuring they are safe, happy, and well cared for.
About: I've grown up having dogs all my life and have dog sat and cat sat for neighbors and family since I was in high school. I am very active and love walking dogs! I am a current grad student and have a mostly flexible schedule. I am available on weekends and in the evenings to check in on or walk your pets! I am not currently looking to have a dog stay in my apartment as I am not able to have a dog at my apartment complex
About: I have six years of experience caring for dogs, including my own and pets belonging to friends and family. I’m dependable, patient, and comfortable following each dog’s individual routine. I can provide walks, feeding, playtime, bathroom breaks, and plenty of attention while keeping owners updated with photos. My background in behavior has also taught me to remain calm, observant, and consistent with every pet. I work Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., so I’m available for evening visits during the week and have more flexible availability on weekends. I’ll always confirm timing in advance to ensure your pet receives dependable, unrushed care. I will follow your cat’s normal routine and all care instructions closely. I’ll keep doors and windows secure, refresh food and water, clean the litter box, provide playtime or quiet companionship, and send regular photo updates after each visit.
“Isabella did an amazing job checking on our two cats while we were away! We will definitely rebook in the future. She always made sure to play with them and give them treats. Even our mean cat liked her!”
“Laura is absolutely amazing! I have an 11-year-old spicy cat, Asher, and a 1-year-old sensitive cat, Ember. Both of my boys are completely rotten and very used to having me home almost 24/7. I had never trusted anyone outside of family to care for Asher, and I had never left Ember before, so needless to say, I was anxious…… and I left Laura what can only be described as a textbook of instructions. She never once made me feel like I was being too much or seemed annoyed by any of it. My boys did GREAT with her! Laura was incredibly communicative, detailed, dependable, and punctual. She sent wonderful updates that genuinely helped me relax while I was away, and both cats warmed up to her much faster than they usually do with new people. Knowing they were comfortable and being so well cared for was such a huge relief. I’m so grateful I found someone I can trust with my boys, and I would absolutely book Laura again. I can’t recommend her enough!”
“Eleni was amazing for us this week! We’ve never left our three dogs for this long and ended up having a few curveballs, but she graciously handled a dog in heat and a few days of unexpected diarrhea. She went above and beyond and kept us updated every step of the way. We would absolutely use her again in a heartbeat.”
About: Welcome to my page! My name is Tracy and I would love to take care of your pet. I grew up taking care of my pets, both cats and dogs, and I currently have a goldendoodle that I absolutely adore! I have also been entrusted to take care of my friend’s pets while they were away. From my experience, I know that no pet is the same. I get to know your pet and learn to care for them in a way that is unique and special to them! I currently work full-time during the week, but am available for boarding on the weekends and most holidays. I am also available evenings and weekends if your pet needs to have a potty break or go on a walk! For visits in your home, I prefer to meet prior to my initial visit to go over instructions and expectations and to have a meet and greet with your pet. For boarding in my home, your pet will be able to have full access to the house or they can be crated if that is what is preferred. I live in a great neighborhood for walking and I also have a screened in porch that is great for napping!

About: I have cared for dogs for a little over six years and have a lot of experience with them. I am a dog lover and know exactly how to keep them happy and healthy while their families are away! I am currently working part-time, so I will have more than enough time to care for your home, pups, and anything else you may need! I care for pets by ensuring that they are always given food and water, going outside frequently, and having someone to play with hem and pet them.
About: I have 1 of my own dogs who lives with me. But I also have experience with a total of 4 dogs as my parents have 3. All are Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. I am comfortable with all medium and small size dogs. I do request that they are house trained. I like to take dogs on walks but if they are smaller it is okay if they are not perfect at walking on a leash. I can even help work with them on that. I currently work a normal day job during the week. But I work remote, that means that the dogs would not be alone at all during the day. They would have someone to care for them, take them out and feed them if necessary. Every day it is not raining, I do go on a 1 mile walk with my dog on my lunch so that they get good exercise. HOUSE SITTING: I can work remote from your house providing care all day. However, my dog Charlie would also have to come with me. If this is something that you do not feel comfortable with, I can offer drop in help instead. I have 1 of my own dogs (Charlie) who lives with me full time. My apartment is fully equipped for a dog to be here safely. I have a balcony where the dogs can spend time enjoying the fresh air. My dog gets along with all other dogs and is very friendly as he used to go to daycare with many other dogs. I have the ability to walk the dogs, get them fresh air and exercise. I also have dog toys and bones available for them to use. Dogs are allowed in all areas of my place. Including the couch, dog beds and human beds. Allowing them to be where they feel the most comfortable.

Abby cared for my old boy Maverick for a couple of days. I knew immediately at our meet-n-greet that I did not need to be concerned while I was away. She did not disappoint. Prompt. Her reporting was clear and thorough. She will go far and succeed in life! Thank you Abby! Maverick & Tom
Eleni was amazing for us this week! We’ve never left our three dogs for this long and ended up having a few curveballs, but she graciously handled a dog in heat and a few days of unexpected diarrhea. She went above and beyond and kept us updated every step of the way. We would absolutely use her again in a heartbeat.
Mia was extremely thoughtful, thorough, and caring towards my golden and provided updates and cute photos. It was great to have an update while I was away, especially with a first time visit. He was so happy in the pictures too! I would highly recommend and look forward to hiring her for more visits!
Celeste is wonderful! Communicative, prompt & exactly what I was looking for. She helped with the Rover ins and outs as it's been years since I've had a dog and needed to use it. She was super accommodating to my last minute booking and sends pictures at every visit. Couldn't be happier!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Forest stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

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 Forest 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.

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

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.
