“Abigail was so wonderful with my cat. I am a first time cat mom. This was also my first time leaving my baby for a period of time. Abigail put my worries at ease. She gave me updates, and my baby looked very happy. She will be my first choice next time I need a sitter.”
“Jessica was absolutely wonderful! She came to visit my dog while I was away, and I couldn't have asked for a more reliable and caring sitter. She was punctual, communicative, and clearly has a natural connection with animals. My dog liked her right away, and it gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. I appreciated the updates and photos she sent—it really helped me relax and enjoy my time away. I would definitely recommend Jessica to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate pet sitter. Thank you, Jessica!”
About: I have always loved being around animals, I started walking dogs when I was 11 around my neighborhood and I have been pet sitting since I was 14 so I’ve had a lot of experience pet sitting/walking dogs! I currently walk dogs Monday through Friday but I am always looking for more🙌🏻 I do online college so I have a pretty flexible schedule. I would be happy to help anytime, I only need a little heads up!🫶🏻 I always make sure pets feel safe and comfortable in their own home. I follow their usual routine as closely as possible—whether that’s feeding times, walks, or playtime—to keep them happy and relaxed. I treat every pet and home with respect, keeping everything clean and secure. I also love sending picture updates so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands while you’re away! 😊
About: Hi, I’m Laurel! I grew up with animals my whole life and have always had a genuine passion for pets of all sizes and species. I’m fun, organized, responsible, and excited for the opportunity to help care for your pets while you’re away! What sets me apart is that I truly treat every pet as an individual. I understand that young, senior, and special-needs pets may require different levels of patience, attention, and care. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, whether that means extra playtime and structure for a young pet or a slower pace and additional attention for a senior pet. Most importantly, your babies will be cared for, loved, and treated just as if they were my own. I want you to feel confident and comfortable knowing they’re in good hands while you’re away! I currently work a full-time job, but pet care fits well into my daily routine. I’m available in the early mornings for feedings, potty breaks, walks, and some quality time before I head to work. In the evenings, I’m available for walks, playtime, dinner, and of course, plenty of snuggles and attention before bedtime. I also have much more flexibility on weekends and can dedicate additional time to your pets, whether they need longer walks, extra playtime, companionship, or just someone to keep them company. I’m organized and responsible, so I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine and make sure they receive the care and attention they’re used to. While I do have a full-time job, I’m committed to making pet care a priority and providing dependable, loving care whenever your pets need me. I’ve grown a genuine love for animals and feel that I can bond with almost any pet. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. I’m happy to follow your specific instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, bedtime routines, and anything else your pet may need. I’ll also treat your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’m so looking forward to getting to know your pets, giving them plenty of love and attention, and helping you have peace of mind while you’re working, traveling, or simply away from home. Your pets’ happiness and well-being are my priority! 🐾❤️
“Absolutely amazing. She is such a lovely person and so nice to work with. You can tell she genuinely cares about the animals she is working with. I am going to look for her first if I ever need to book a sitter again :)”
“Angela was great. We had booked Angela's services to take care of our three cats for four weeks (3 times per week) while visiting China. Angela did an excellent job watching over our cats. We certainly will rebook services again during our next vacation.”
About: I am currently a college student studying zoo and wildlife biology, and I hope to have a career in either wildlife rehabilitation or working at a zoo. I have a good amount of experience with animals; I have been around animals my whole life, my grandfather was a veterinarian, and I have been pet sitting since high school. I also worked as a kennel attendant at Augusta Valley Animal Hospital. I have volunteered at the Humane Society and at the SPCA as well, walking dogs and performing other tasks. I’m currently a full time college student, but have some breaks during the day and am free in the evening/night. My availability depends on the day, but just reach out and I’ll let you know! I live in an apartment complex so I would not be able to have your dog stay at my house. However, it is a really nice and quiet neighborhood perfect for walks (short or long)!
About: Hi! I have taken care of pets my whole life. I have a lot of experience with all animals with all different kinds of needs. I currently work 6am-3pm on Monday through Friday. I am able to come by and/or sit after work. I am available on weekends full time! I have an unfenced yard but it’s big and great for running around and play time! I have my own dog to either keep yours company or can stay with my sister to ensure the comfort of your pup!
“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!”
“Erica is absolutely amazing! She took care of my fur babies, Milo and Pickle Boy, and went completely above and beyond. She always arrived right on time, took them for great walks, gave them extra snuggles, and even surprised them with treats and pup cups! She is incredibly responsible and always made sure the doors were locked securely behind her. She kept me updated every single day with pictures, letting me know exactly what they ate and what they did in the yard. She even cleaned up any messes they made. Erica is the absolute perfect choice for your dogs—I will definitely be hiring her again!”
About: I’ve had my own dogs since I was a kid, I’ve worked at a dog groomers, and I currently work at a doggy daycare I currently work part time, intern, and do school at CVCC. My schedule is pretty open especially Monday-Wednesday after 2. I am very flexible with making plans. I love dogs and would be happy to get to know your babies. I have a clean record and have been around them all my life.
About: Hi, I’m the proud pet auntie to all my friends, neighbors, and anyone else who trusts me with their furry family members! 🐾 I’ve been caring for pets—and even looking after homes—while people are away for nearly 20 years. I genuinely love getting to know each pet’s personality, routines, and favorite ways to be spoiled. When you’re away, why not let your pets stay comfortable in the place they know best? I offer loving, dependable in-home pet and house care so your pets can stick to their normal routines while you travel, work, or simply need an extra hand. Think of it as having a trusted pet auntie who treats your home and your animals like her own. ❤️🐶🐱 Let me take the worry out of being away so you can enjoy your time knowing your pets are loved, cared for, and getting plenty of attention! I do work full-time with a very flexible schedule. Two days a week I am teaching at a local university in the evenings. With a flexible schedule I can work from home easily to provide more love and care to your loved ones. I cater to the needs of the pet! Whatever their typical routine is, I try to incorporate that while I am providing care for them in their home.
“John stayed the day with our two dogs. It was our first time using him, so he was kind enough to come meet the pups a couple days prior to sitting them - to make sure it was a good fit. The dogs immediately liked him & approved! He arrived on time, sent pictures during the day, and was very polite. I plan to use him again :-)”
“We and our kitties are SOOO blessed each time we get to have Laura take care of them. They love her so much. They are very, very elderly and fragile, but she knows exactly how to handle them with love, gentness and skill. When we see them after she has cared for them they are always extra peppy and in beautiful condition. I can tell they love her so much that they want her to stay and they accuse me of hiding her from them. I can’t say enough that we are so thankful. This last time we booked her, I forgot something extremely important but she anticipated it simply because she thinks about what they need and cares so much about how they feel. What a wonderful person and we are just so thankful for her!”
About: Hi! I’ve been pet-sitting since I was 15 and caring for family pets since I was little. I’ve always loved giving special attention to pets and getting to know their personalities. My family dog is in his senior years and we’ve taken great care of his specific needs, always making sure he’s not in pain and receives the love he deserves. I’ve been around animals of all sizes. I'm a dependable and caring animal lover. While I'm new to Rover, I've spent years around pets and understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your dog. I'm active, attentive, and committed to making sure every walk is safe, fun, and tailored to your dog's needs. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, or a slower pace, I'll make sure they receive plenty of attention and care. I believe pet parents should feel at ease about how their pets are being taken care of. Regular updates, photos, and communication are an essential part of pet care. I understand that every pet is part of the family, and I'll treat your pet with the same care and respect I would give my own. I'd love the opportunity to meet you and your furry friend! I’m currently working part-time and I have a loose routine which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your furry family members! It’s important for me to keep to the schedules and familiarity of a pets’ routine and make a visit as stress free as possible. Being aware of surroundings on walks and ensuring safety for a pet is a top priority, which builds their trust and leads to more enjoyable play time. Paying attention their behavior and small signs of discomfort reassures owners that I care for their animals in the same way they would.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Forest
I was very grateful to Serenity and Daniel for being available to look after Spud at short notice. My cat can be a little shy at first, but he came out to say Hi to Serenity. I felt that he was happy with her and that put my mind completely at ease. Serenity followed all my instructions and sent me photos of Spud. I would definitely use her again in the future, and I can highly recommend her to anyone else who is seeking care for their cat.
Emily was absolutely wonderful with Koda! She came to my home for drop-in visits and took such great care of him while I was away. She was reliable, attentive, and kept me updated, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing Koda was in good hands. She made sure he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for during every visit. I highly recommend Emily to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable sitter!
Abigail was so wonderful with my cat. I am a first time cat mom. This was also my first time leaving my baby for a period of time. Abigail put my worries at ease. She gave me updates, and my baby looked very happy. She will be my first choice next time I need a sitter.
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.
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!

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 435 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Forest. 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 Forest 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 Forest. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
