About: I am Shaylei, I am 25years old, and I love working with animals. I have had many different types of animals like dogs and cats to take care of while I was growing up. I also work at the Noble Dog Lodge so I do have professional dog care experience as well. I like the cuddlers, playful, and lazy doggies. I can also teach your dog a few tricks if you’d like as well. I know how to teach sit, stay, shake, and a couple more! I’ve dealt with harder to work with dogs, and very laid back dogs. I’ve dealt with Chihuahuas and Dobermans so any size works for me. I've also worked with the hyper puppies and the senior dogs that just need patience. Your pet will be in good hands if you decide to choose me as your main provider for your pet care needs. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. I do work fulltime at a dog boarding and daycare facility. On my days off, I don't mind continuing to provide excellent care for animals that need some extra love while their parents are away. Weather I stay the whole day or do a drop in visit, I always make sure to give each pet the same care and attention. I know your babies miss you and you miss them while you're away. I want them to feel good about me caring for them. So, weather we play fetch, cuddle, or go on a walk I will always treat your babies with the respect and happiness they deserve.
“Lindsy was amazing and we felt so comfortable leaving our cat in her care while we were out of town. Lindsy visited as scheduled and was very communicative, with lots of photos, video, and comments about our cat’s activities. We would definitely trust Lindsy again!”
“Wonderful. We have not been in a position before where we needed a Rover. Being the first time, Elizabeth was great with communicating with us, sending us pictures of our happy pups and making us feel at ease. Would definitely contact her again if needed.”
“Jennye is AMAZING! She was so patient and sweet with our not so little fur baby. She took great care of our St. Bernard. Arrow loved her and had the best time. Was super flexible and we can’t recommend her enough!”
About: I would love to be considered to watch your fur baby!! I love them like my own, and make sure to take care of them like my own :) I currently do photography for income, so I’m pretty much available whenever I do like to keep weekends open as much as possible, but during the day and maybe a few times during the week evenings, I am available!! I make sure to keep an eye out on your dog 24/7 to make sure they don’t get into something they’re not supposed to and to make sure that they are happy and active or taking a nap!
About: I have a true love of every furry friend out there. I love large breeds as much as small, so I’m comfortable with any breed. I also love to walk and hike, so if your dog is high energy, I can match that! I currently work part time at an animal rescue with a flexible schedule, so I have lots of free time to spend with your pet. I have experience with dogs, cats, and many animals. If dog sitting, I am happy to come twice per day to feed, walk and love your pet. I understand how hard it is to leave them behind. I will happily text you photos and updates, as often as you would like!
About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give every dog & cat, treating them like my own. I don’t just walk or watch them. I build trust, learn their personality, and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved every single time. I’m reliable, communicative, and focused on giving both you and your pet peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I’m already used to being consistent, patient, and attentive in my daily life as a first grade teacher. During the school year, I’m available in the afternoons and evenings, which works perfectly for after-work walks, check-ins, or dinner-time care. I’m reliable with scheduling and communication, so you’ll always know your pet is in good hands. In the summer, my schedule opens up much more, allowing me to offer flexible morning, afternoon, and evening care. This gives me even more time to dedicate to longer walks, playtime, and making sure your pet gets the attention and exercise they need. I provide care exclusively in my client’s home so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any special instructions or medications. I make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and exercise so they feel safe and happy while you’re away. I’m also very respectful of your home, keeping things clean, secure, and just as you left them. I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident and at ease knowing your pet is well cared for. My goal is to give both you and your pet a stress-free, positive experience every time.
About: My name is jharasen or jp for short. I have been working with dogs and other pet for many years now at doggy daycares, pet sitting, vet clinics and at the shelter. I am available most days and time to care for your pet and try to make them feel as comfortable and excepted while they are with me. I am also working on getting my training business started here in Forset city and am currently an intern with a trainer in Mills river helping out with an agility class on Wednesday nights. having the knowledge and backing of the trainer I have been able to find creative ways to help with dogs who seemed stressed or needing more outlets when with me. I am super excited to start my journey out here in Forset city and cant wait to meet and help the community here. I hope to hear from you and your pup soon, and thank you for considering me to take care of your family pet. I have a fenced-in yard that the dogs can play in when I am home. They are also able to come in and hang out inside as well. I do keep all dogs separated when I am not home and/or able to watch them and at meal time just for safety reasons. Ibam a stay at home mom so my schedule is pretty open, besides for any appointments i might have to go. The only days i am consistently away from the house are Wednesdays from 10 to 3 and Thursdays from 11 to 6 when im at class. I have a fenced-in yard part of it is what i call my rainy day yard which is truf grass with a 3 ft fence around it ... I also have a 6ft fence around the while back yard for the dry days that make the play space much bigger ... but who wants to play in the rain anyways lol. I do slow introduction with ever new pup that comes in and go at their pace to make sure they feel as comfortable as possible while they are staying with me.
About: I’ve owned and cared for my personal dogs since I was a little girl and been able to care for friends dogs (and cats) as well! I love dogs because of their various personalities and their impact on mental well-being! Being able to walk dogs for a profit is like a dream job for me! I currently run my own small business during the hours of 10-4, so early morning or late afternoon/evening bookings are perfect for me! I live in a rental, so no pets are allowed in my house, but I would be willing to care for your fur baby in yours! Just leave me a list of responsibilities and instructions and I will follow them!
About: I’ve always been an animal lover since I was younger. I’ve always been especially fond of dog’s, I’m a dog mom myself and would love to care for yours!! Honestly I would love to do this full time which explains why my rates are a bit pricey given the economy we’re in I hope y’all understand. As a dog owner I understand what it’s like to not trust just anybody with your furry friend believe me. I also know what it’s like to leave your pup behind in a crate having to run errands and trying to race back to let them go potty it breaks my heart anytime having to leave mine. I would however love to be there for your pets if allowed and take pictures of each visit to put your mind at ease.

About: My family started fostering animals when I was young. I now have pets of my own that I’ve been caring for about 10 years now! My specialties are long walks, park playtime, brushing, washing, nail clipping, administering meds, refreshing homes of household pet odors. Let me pamper your pets like my own family! I work part time & make my own schedule so I have lots of flexibility on weekdays. I’m a great choice for folks who work long hours during the week and have pets that need extra potty breaks or playtime throughout the day. I have two friendly dogs of my own & a cat. I live very close to a walking trail in town as well as a dog park. I stay stocked on treats and toys. I’m happy to accommodate you and your pets needs!
About: I have a Bachelor's Degree in Animal Science from North Carolina State University and have a passion for taking care of animals in order for them to feel their best every day! I have taken care of dogs of all ages, breeds, and sizes and my family raised 8 German Shepard pups after breeding our family dog. My father is a horse trainer and since graduating from college I partake in their nutritional care as well as physical wellbeing from riding to outside time. My family has 3 dogs and a cat that I take care of daily, with 2 of the dogs outside they must have flea and tick baths and medication as well as brushing when shedding occurs. I provide house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking which will create a personal relationship with the animals I take care of. In the client's home I am sure to follow all notes left by the owners and make sure that the animals feel a sense of normality each day and night. Allowing animals to have the option of play as well as rest is important so the animals do not feel I am intruding in their space.
“Trina takes the best care of my puppers when we are away. They always seem so happy to see her and we are ever so grateful for her help each time. She goes above and beyond to make sure their needs are met and they are looked after each visit! Thank you!!!! 😊”

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 City 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 City. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% 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.
