“Imani was wonderful—very responsive, understanding, and kind. She and her sweet little family took great care of my pups for a week in their house. My especially anxious dog warmed up to them immediately and both dogs seemed right at home. Will rebook and recommend!”
“This wonderful lady was very willing to help us out and she went above and beyond for our dog Emma. After a couple pouty moments emma finally settled in and had a blast playing with the other Dog I will rebook with her if we both have mutual dates. Please allow her to watch your pets”
“Jennifer was very attentive to my sweet puppy and flexible with pick up/drop off times. She is very professional and prepared for the job. Will definitely be using her services again!”
About: With a lifelong background in dog care — starting with my dad raising dogs and me helping care for 17 growing up — I’ve always had a special connection with animals. I now have three dogs of my own and bring that same love, patience, and experience to every pet I look after I’m currently working part-time and looking to spend more of my days doing something I love — caring for dogs! Since my schedule is very flexible, I can easily adjust my work hours and make time whenever your pets need me. Spending time with dogs truly brightens my day, so fitting pet care into my routine is something I enjoy, not just a job. my home, I have a fenced-in backyard where dogs can safely play and enjoy the outdoors. I also have three friendly, well-behaved dogs who love meeting new friends! If a quieter environment is needed, I can easily crate my dogs to make sure every pet feels comfortable and secure. I always focus on giving each dog the attention, playtime, and care they deserve.
“Merry was such a great pet sitter ! It was my 1 st time using rover.com and i didn’t know what to exspect so I messaged a few peoeple and Merry was the 1 st to respond with in minutes. It was a last Minute trip. She was able to watch my German Shepard that same day I messaged her ! She was very caring and knowledgeable about dogs . My 1 1/2 year old German Shepard went right up to her with out any problems, he instantly felt the love ! Thankyou again Marry”
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!
“I cannot recommend Marissa highly enough! She went above and beyond to care for my dog, Reagan, showing a level of attentiveness and compassion that truly sets her apart. What impressed me most was her thoughtful approach to my dog’s unique needs, keeping her separated from the other pets in her home, creating a calm and safe environment which made all the difference in my pet’s stay. She also provided multiple long walks each day, ensuring plenty of exercise and stimulation. It’s rare to find someone who treats your pet like their own, but that’s exactly what Marissa did. My dog came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. If you’re looking for someone who combines professionalism with genuine love for animals, look no further. Marissa is a gem!”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life & have dog sat many years for family and friends! I work from home, so have lots of time on my hands to come over and spend time with any pup- big or small. I work from home full-time, which gives me a very flexible schedule to prioritize your pet's needs. Because I’m always around, I can provide frequent potty breaks, constant supervision, and plenty of mid-day attention. Whether it’s a long walk or cuddling on the couch, your dog will never be alone for long. I have a fully fenced, secure yard and two friendly dogs of my own to keep your fur baby company. Safety is my top priority, so I always supervise outdoor play and can easily crate your dog if needed for meals or bedtime. My home is a pet-friendly environment designed to make every guest feel comfortable and safe.
“Emily has watched my dog Bear multiple times and he has really enjoyed his stays with Emily. Emily has always been fast with responses and send photos and videos for updates. She treats my dog like he is her own. Thanks Emily for taking such good care of my dog!”
“Kasalyn was great! She took excellent care of my dog, kept me updated, and made the whole process easy and stress-free. I felt completely comfortable leaving my dog with her and would definitely book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Im so glad we were able to find Cheyanne last minute! Our 6 month old doodle mix loved her pups and had a blast. She sent great updates with pictures and I know my pup was well taken care of!”
“Hillary was great! We loved the numerous photos she sent throughout the day and our puppy, Wriggly loved being there. I could tell by how tired Wriggly was when we picked him up that Hillary had given him lots of play time and he wasn't cooped up all day.”
“Our dog had an amazing time! She didn’t want to leave😂 Eman sent lots of pictures throughout the day which was really nice! She is very knowledgeable and genuinely cares about dogs. Will definitely book again!”
“Samantha took great care of our guys Mouse and Henry. She even took our furry friends in for (a lot) longer than we originally planned due to an emergency on our part. This was amazingly helpful as we were in fort Lauderdale trying to finish a move! Knowing they were with her helped us not be stressed about their welfare. Thanks Samantha. We really appreciated it. Michael and Paula”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Forest
Eleni and her family were amazing!! I left Louis with them for a month and then another week. He came back very happy and was happy to see them when I dropped him off a second time. She was very flexible with drop off and pick up times. I know I can trust Eleni to watch Louis whenever needed!
Kari and her family did an exceptional job of watching over our dogs while we were on vacation! We introduced them and got to see where they would be staying beforehand. We got daily updates and they helped break down and pack up everything neatly upon pickup. Our dogs were wore out and somehow even more well behaved afterwards!
We are so happy to have found Emily- I am no longer concerned about leaving our dog when we go out of town, because Emily sends regular updates and pictures, and we know she's in great hands! Drop off and pick up are a breeze, and our dog wags her tail every time we pull up to the house.
Second time using Krystal, and if I have my way about it, I will never use another dog sitter! She is far and away the BEST sitter we have ever used!!! The way she goes above and beyond to give our pooch extra love and affection and attention...it's absolutely amazing!! We love getting picture updates, and she and her family are always walking him, doing tricks, snuggling, playing! He LOVED going back there, and that just speaks volumes!! He was so excited when we pulled into their driveway!! It means so much to me that we don't have to worry about him at all when we are away! Krystal, you rock!!!! 🩷

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Forest on Rover is $33.3 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 158 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Forest. About 89% of Forest sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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.
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 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.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in VA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
