“We had a wonderful experience with Isabella. She took excellent care of our dog and was very attentive to all of her needs. I really appreciated receiving updates and photos after every visit—it was always so nice to know how Savannah spent her day. Isabella is reliable, caring, and truly professional. She gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. We would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter, and we will definitely book with her again!”
“Amazing like always! Our girls trust her and Ava shows lots of love to them. Always keeps us updated with text and picture. We are very grateful to have found an amazing sitter.”
“Peter is wonderful to work with. He has sat our pittie a few times now and is loved by our pup! Peter was on time and this time I forgot to leave instructions out so he confirmed our pups care prior to anything. We will definitely use his services again thank you Peter!”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was little, friends and family rely on me to pet sit for their babies all the time! I have a dog and cat at home so I know how to handle both cuties! I’d love to get to know more animals and help out with your animal needs :)) I only have one class that's in the mornings (8-10AM) and I'm free for the whole day after that on Mondays and Wednesday! Thursdays I work during 5-11pm so I can do morning walks, Saturdays I work morning so I’ll be able to do evening walks! Tuesdays and Sundays are free all day! I can accommodate to any environment, if your dog would like to go out into the backyard that will happen, if they want to sit around and be lazy, that can also happen! In your home I will only be where your dog and will only touch things that are needed for your pet.
“Haileigh has been AMAZINGGGGGGGGG!!!! She has been communicating with me and sending photos of my baby the whole trip. I felt such at ease with her taking care of Bruce these past couple of days. Literally the best sitter that I could ever ask for.”
“Noelle did a great job of caring for our kitty boys. We really appreciated the daily pictures and coming home to happy cats. Not only were they fed and litter box cleaned, but she spent time with them, giving them some play time and affection. Would definitely book her again.”
“Katie was fantastic! She was quick to respond in a short notice and my pup had a great time with her. She gave him lots of walks, cuddles, treats, and attention that an any puppy would want. Katie also sent me updates and pictures and I would definitely use her again.”
“Larissa was reliable and consistent. Knowing she was caring for my cats helped me feel assured that they were in good hands. Larissa was compassionate with them. She communicated with me daily and followed through on my detailed instructions. I recommend Larissa and will call on her for future cat sitting.”
About: I’ve spent 11 years caring for my Shih Tzu and have 7 years of experience fostering and caring for kittens and adult cats. 🐾 I’m passionate about animals and understand that every pet has their own personality and needs. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or companionship, I’ll make sure your furry friend feels safe, comfortable, and loved just like my own! 💕 I currently work full time Monday through Thursday, so pet care fits perfectly into my weekends! I’m available Friday through Sunday for walks, drop in visits, feeding, and plenty of playtime. 🐾 Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities! I always respect their routines, follow your care instructions, and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. 💕
“Phoebe is wonderful! We have a very very shy kitty who likes to hide when sitters come over which makes us worry when we go out of town, but Phoebe went the extra mile in taking the time to find her to make sure she was comfortable and fine. I will definitely be using her as my regular sitter!”
About: I’m an empathetic, caring animal lover who has been surrounded by animals since I was 3 years old. Growing up in the country gave me years of hands-on experience caring for and understanding animals. I treat every pet with the same patience, love, and attention I would give my own. I work full time available after 5pm Monday -Friday and all day on weekends. Since my daughter left to college I have free time. Taking care of fur babies would be an absolutely rewarding . I have a fenced backyard and have space to crate if needed and a bike trail 2 blocks away if your dogs enjoy longer walks
“Thank you Wilfred! I needed my pup checked on last minute and he responded super quickly and was able to take great care of her and let me know she was okay (cute picture too). I’ll def be requesting you again!”
About: Stress-Free Environment Calm, safe, and home-like setting that keeps dogs happy, not anxious. I’m also reliable and communicative—pet parents can count on regular updates, photos, and peace of mind while they're away. With experience handling pets of all sizes, temperaments, and special needs, I go beyond basic care by providing personalized attention, emotional comfort, and plenty of love. I treat pet sitting as a responsibility and a priority, I build in time for everything from play sessions to medication schedules, keeping flexibility for any last-minute needs. My routine is built to support dependability, consistency, and compassion—three things every pet needs when away from their family. When pets stay in my home, I strive to make them feel safe, relaxed, and loved—just like part of the family. I provide a clean, pet-friendly environment with cozy spaces for rest, toys for enrichment, and designated areas for feeding and play. I stick closely to their usual routines, including walk times, feeding schedules, and any special care or medications they need.
“Alex was so amazing with our kitties! She really went above an beyond and we felt so comfortable knowing that she was taking amazing care of them. She communicated very well and updated us frequently!”
About: I’ve always had a genuine love for animals and enjoy making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats through volunteering at an animal shelter, where I’ve worked with pets of different sizes, personalities, and needs. I’m also trained in dog handling and feline communication, and I have experience working in a veterinary setting. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply giving them extra love and attention, I’ll care for your pet like they’re my own. I’m a college student at UCF majoring in Pre-Veterinary Medicine and also work part-time at a veterinary vaccine clinic. Since all of my classes are in the morning and only work weekends, I have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care! I’m available after 2 PM on Mondays and Wednesdays and have open availability on Tuesdays and Thursdays. My Fridays are mainly flexible but may change from week to week since I occasionally work pop-up veterinary clinics. Sadly no weekend availability but I’m happy to communicate ahead of time and work with you to find a schedule that works best for you and your pet! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I want them to feel as safe and comfortable as possible in their familiar environment. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine and any instructions you provide for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, or other care. I’m patient and attentive to each pet’s personality and boundaries, and I’ll always treat your home with respect. I also understand how reassuring it is to know your pet is doing well while you’re away, so I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos during each visit!
About: I absolutely love dog sitting and spending time with dogs. I've taken care of older animals as well, my own is 11 and has medications. I have cat sat for cats over 15 that are skittish and hard to feed with strict medication regiments. If requested I can happily do small cleaning chores around the house without complaint. I have taken care of cats as well; specifically one that was in its 20s and had to be given medicine every 12 hours crushed & mixed in cat food. I'm currently a student and have class for a short period of time 4 days a week and I also work, as of right now only 3 days a week. But I can work around my schedule to make sure your dog is taken care of. If I am not able to, I promise you I will let you know! Please keep in mind my current work schedule as Rover doesn't allow me to arrange my calendar by day as I wish: Monday: 11:00AM - 10PM Tuesday: 11:00AM - 10PM Wednesday: 11:00AM - 8:00PM (can be somewhat flexible between 8:00PM-10:00PM depending on day/situation) Thursday: 11:00AM - 8:00PM (can be somewhat flexible between 8:00PM-10:00PM depending on day/situation) Friday: 11:00AM - 8:00PM (can be somewhat flexible between 8:00PM-10:00PM depending on day/situation) Saturday: 11:00AM - 8:00PM (can be somewhat flexible between 8:00PM-10:00PM depending on day/situation) Sunday: 11:00AM - 5:00PM (can be somewhat flexible between 5:00PM-10:00PM depending on day/situation) I do not offer at-home service. Although my dog is sweet, he is very skittish around other dogs and I would never want to harm someone else's animal. At your home, I always make sure to be in the same room as them for 1) to avoid them getting into any mischievous actions, and 2) to make sure the dog doesn't feel alone while their loved one is gone!
About: Extremely grateful to be able to do this for work, I’m very passionate about animals and my love for them. I’m very responsible and reliable, I have been watching houses and pets since I was a little girl. I have experience with puppies as well as kittens, and senior dogs too. I have experience bottle feeding, and administering medicine. It’s something I feel very comfortable with! I love watching and keeping your home and fur babies safe! Hope to see you soon! Currently I have class Mondays and Wednesdays but I am available after and before! For the rest of the week I am available and open to being flexible! I would treat your home and family just as I would my own. I’m neat, organized, and high energy so I don’t mind long walks. I also am extremely aware of my surroundings, and vigilant. Happy to help any way I can!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Forest City
Patti is fantastic. She sends photos & detailed info on what’s going on with my girls back home. She is reliable and trustworthy and we are so so blessed to have found her upon moving to a new area. Truly a blessing that my cats get to see the SAME person each time we go away. We even moved here locally, further away from her, but she continued to see my cats..! You get the feeling with her that she truly loved my animals. I would recommend her without hesitation!
Gabrielle was a prefect sitter. We weren’t able to schedule a walkthrough ahead of time but she was able to follow the instructions i left and take care of Milo. She was sweet and gave Milo all the attention he wanted. I would highly suggest for anyone looking for a dog sitter
We were looking for a dog sitter who had plenty of flexibility because our schedule is absolutely crazy right now, and when I came across Isaac’s profile, he had exactly what we were looking for—open availability and 10 years of experience! We set up a meet-and-greet on short notice, and Isaac was incredibly accommodating. He came to our home to meet our 9-week-old Boxer puppy, Harley, and I immediately felt comfortable with him. We went over Harley’s schedule, feeding instructions, and routine, and Isaac spent time playing with him. Harley warmed up to him right away, which made me feel even more comfortable leaving him in Isaac’s care. After the meet-and-greet, we booked our first visit for the very next day. Isaac messaged me as soon as he arrived, got Harley out to play and go potty, and kept me updated throughout his entire visit. He sent pictures and updates while they played and went through Harley’s routine, which gave me so much peace of mind. Having a 9-week-old puppy is definitely a lot, especially with our unpredictable schedule, but Isaac has been wonderful about working with us and keeping us updated. I really appreciate how dependable, communicative, and comfortable he made both Harley and me feel. I would absolutely recommend Isaac to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, experienced, flexible, and genuinely caring with their pets. We’re so happy we found him!
Ava did such a great job watching our kitty while we were on honeymoon for 2 weeks! She worked with my shy cat and gave him plenty of exercise and made him feel safe while we were away. She’s super flexible and helpful! Hope I can book her again for my next trip.
Christina is a wonderful pet sitter who has been caring for our three senior pets for a while now. They all adore her! We haven’t had her for overnights, so we just do drop ins. She is amazing. She is always on time and sends pictures. We totally trust her with our home and our pets! We highly recommend her!
Camryn was absolutely awesome! She dropped in on my babies for 4 days while I took a mini birthday trip. Camryn checked in on my boys, sent pics and sent updates. She was very attentive to my boys and how they were feeling. She respected my babies and my house. I absolutely recommend using Camryn’s services! Thank you Camryn!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Forest City is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 5,471 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Forest City. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 City. 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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
